Many childless marriages are loveless marriages.

– Otto Weininger (Austrian philosopher)

The choice of the generals is all under Bai Feng's control, and the generals of the Fire Legion who are not under Bai Feng's control have not participated in this choice at all, and Bai Feng's purpose in deliberately doing all this is to scandalize Charlemagne in the hearts of the generals under his command.

Using the original sacred imperial title to win over the generals was enough to make Charlemagne's image in the hearts of the generals collapse, and this was a good thing for Bai Feng, and there was really no reason why he should not take advantage of this opportunity.

As for the generals at the level of the five division commanders of the Fire Legion, Bai Feng knew that in addition to Rodriguez, the acting commander of the corps, and Danilo, the acting lieutenant general of the legion, would choose to follow him, the three division commanders such as Eder, Ospina, and Sania were loyal to Charlemagne.

After all, the Royal Legion is still the Royal Legion, no matter how much the Fire Legion absorbs a large number of veterans of the city defense army, the real core elite is still loyal and brave men loyal to Charlemagne, even if Bai Feng has saved them more than once, but that is something that has nothing to do with loyalty.

In order to make the soldiers of the Fire Legion completely dead to the Empire and Charlemagne, it is necessary for Bai Feng to take some special means and use some objective factors;

Rodriguez and Danilo, loyal to White Peak, were commanders of the 1st and 4th Divisions of the Fire Legion, respectively, and the two divisions were stationed in the province of Toulon and the other three divisions of the Fire Legion were stationed in the province of Brojansund.

The new governor of Toulon Province was the Marquis of Perpignan, as a frustrated marquis of the imperial capital, the Marquis of Perpignan, who had finally made a comeback, would not dare to deliberately embarrass the garrison of the Fire Legion;

At this time, Bai Feng, from the perspective of title, was the same imperial marquis as the Governor of Perpignan, but from the perspective of power and family background, Bai Feng was beyond the reach of the Governor of Perpignan.

Bai Feng knew that the Marquis of Perpignan, who had no grudges against him in the past, had no need to get along with him; more importantly, the fact that the daughter of the Marquis of Perpignan could attend the private banquet of the Prince of Pros, which in itself could very well explain the position of the Marquis of Perpignan.

Even Prince Perpignan, who was the leader of their faction, did not dare to easily offend Bai Feng and the Bai family that Bai Feng represented;

It was based on this judgment that Bai Feng confidently and boldly deployed the two divisions of the Fire Legion loyal to him in Toulon Province, and the other three divisions stationed in Brojancson Province, and there were many new and old enemies between them and the Marquis of Bedouin.

The Marquis of Bedouin, who had taken office as the new officer, became the nominal supreme administrative and military governor of the province of Brojansson, and it was common sense that the troops of the Legion of Fire stationed in the province of Brojansson were subject to the control of the governor of the province of Brojansson.

For example, the Marquis of Bedouin had the right to transfer the three divisions of the Legion of Fire deployed outside the county of Browjansson to the jungle at the southern end of Browjansson Province, which was one of the most unsuitable places for human habitation in Browjansson Province!

The narrow-minded Marquis of Bedouin, after suddenly ascending to the throne, will never let go of the soldiers of the Fire Legion who once humiliated him, and he will definitely not let the soldiers of the Fire Legion have a good life.

In order to intensify the conflict between the Marquis of Bedouin and the soldiers of the Fire Legion, Bai Feng gave an order to his henchmen who remained in the city of Bronjansson County before leaving, and if the Marquis of Bedouin intervened against the Fire Legion, all they needed to do was to let the Marquis of Bedouin do it.

With no legion commander to rely on, no army commander to rely on, no emperor to rely on, how could the Flame Legion, which had nothing, fight with the Marquis of Bedouin?

It will only take two or three months at most, and the only thing the three division commanders of the Fire Legion, including Eder, Ospina, and Sania, can do is to swear allegiance to Bai Feng, otherwise, they will not even have a chance to resist, and they will be cleaned up by the Marquis of Doin.

Bai Feng, who had made all the arrangements, led an army of more than 200,000 people to kill from the border area of the province of Brojansson to the province of Lyon and Grenoble, where there were almost no orc armies.

At the beginning of November, he led a counterattack on Bronjansson and Toulon at Bronhorn, but after recovering the two provinces, it took a full month and a half to delay the expedition again, and the orc troops stationed in the provinces of Lyon and Grenoble had already withdrawn to the farther province of Montant.

According to the information sent back by Luo Wang, Bai Feng had a general understanding of the situation in the provinces of Lyon and Grenoble, which together had a population of more than 11 million, more than 3 million more people than the provinces of Brojansson and Toulon combined.

Like the provinces of Brojansson and Toulon, the food of the people of Lyon and Grenoble was looted by the orc army, so it was not so much that Bai Feng led the army to counterattack the orc army, but that he was leading the army to clean up the mess.

At the beginning of December, Bai Feng recruited another thirty new battlefield ghosts in the Roman city system, but only sixteen battlefield ghosts have been recruited so far, and fourteen battlefield ghosts are still being recruited, and all of them must be recruited until the end of the month.

In addition to the battlefield ghosts of the Roman City system, Bai Feng also used the 17,300 stone of the new month of the Shogunate Hall system to recruit two teams of battlefield ninjas, each team of battlefield ninjas is composed of twenty-four fourth-order battlefield ninjas, and they are super powerful troops that assassinate enemies on the battlefield.

The remaining 14,900 stone heights were temporarily stored by Bai Feng for targeted recruitment when needed in the future.

Whether it was the thirty battlefield ghosts or the two teams of battlefield ninjas, it didn't cost Bai Feng much treasury funds and stone heights, and what really made Bai Feng consume a lot was the cost of buying food from the market in Rome City.

More than 8 million people in the provinces of Brojansson and Toulon have already emptied Bai Feng of the granaries of Rome, and the provinces of Lyon and Grenoble, which are about to be recovered, have more than 11 million refugees waiting for rescue, and Bai Feng can only use the treasury funds to buy grain from the market.

The food needed for the survival of more than 11 million people was simply an astronomical amount, and even if the first batch of food was only needed to maintain their survival for a month, it still consumed Bai Feng's treasury funds of 270,000 gold, and almost did not make Bai Feng die of distress.

You must know that the Roman heavy infantry, the most combat-effective type of troops that can be recruited in Rome at this stage, the recruitment cost of a single team is only 490 gold, and 270,000 gold is enough to recruit 551 teams of Roman heavy infantry, with a total strength of more than 88,700 people!

It is not difficult for nearly 89,000 Roman heavy infantry to completely annihilate the 250,000 troops under Bai Feng's current command in a head-to-head duel; of course, this account cannot be calculated in this way, because if you want to win the hearts and minds of the people, you must pay a corresponding price.

In Bai Feng's view, using 270,000 gold of treasury funds in exchange for the hearts of more than 11 million people in the provinces of Lyon and Grenoble is a very convertible transaction;
