"Chapter 9: The Net of Heaven and Earth"

We call the changes that humans make to the environment the result of culture, that is, the spiritual guidance of the flesh.

– Alfred Adler (Austrian psychologist)

After Duke Gna sent all the grain and grass materials needed for the Fourth Route Army to the barracks, Bai Feng asked the soldiers of the third and fourth wings of the personal guard to shoulder the heavy responsibility of escorting these grain and grass materials.

In addition to this batch of grain and grass materials that were enough for the 250,000 army for three months, Bai Feng also reserved a batch of grain and grass materials that were enough for emergency purposes in his Bai Ling Ring and the space ring of his henchmen.

After the 32,000 soldiers of the four Eastern Legions were replaced with the standard weapons and equipment sent by the Duke of Gna, the weapons and equipment that Bai Feng bought from the Westminster Chamber of Commerce, plus the remaining standard weapons and equipment, were all stored in the White Spirit Ring by Bai Feng.

After solving the problem of the necessary food and grass materials for the army, the next problem that Bai Feng needed to solve was the information of the orc army needed for the army, although there were only 400,000 orc troops left in the five eastern provinces, but that was also an extremely large number.

For Bai Feng, how to avoid the main force of the orc army as much as possible, and use the method of breaking down one by one to divide and annihilate the orc army is the best way to complete the task;

The entire decision-making level of the army, including Duke Gna, was extremely lacking in information about the orc army, even if Bai Feng knew that there must be a huge intelligence organization within the empire, and the other party must have information about the orc army, he had no channel to contact the other party.

After some careful thinking, Bai Feng, who lacked information about the orc army, decided to transfer the few battlefield ghosts in Rome to collect information about the orc army.

The total number of battlefield ghosts is only sixty, most of them are distributed in the Eastern Alliance and the Luxi tribe, and its commander Adrien leads a team of battlefield ghosts, guarding Queen Boudicca's side all year round, replacing White Peak to protect Queen Boudicca.

This is different from the past, Bai Feng, who summoned five Flame Sword Masters, intends to leave two Flame Sword Masters by Queen Boudicca's side to protect Queen Boudicca, and the more capable Adrien will lead the battlefield ghosts who have not been sent abroad to the Celestial Dragon Empire.

Return to White Peak in Rome through the teleportation array, send White Four and White Five to the Kingdom of Aceni, and let them bring their own handwritten orders to Adrian, and wait until Adrion gets the order to rush back to Rome City, the process will take at least five days.

During these precious five days, Bai Feng took Sophia to select talents in the barracks of the Eastern Legion every day, and occasionally the selection scope would be extended to refugees outside the city.

When selecting talents in the camp of the Eastern Legion first, Bai Feng carefully selected two hundred ordinary soldiers with flexible minds, and the reason why Sophia would call the selected people ordinary soldiers was because the appearance of those people was really ordinary, and they belonged to the kind that would be forgotten at a glance.

Later, when selecting talents among the refugees, Bai Feng actually selected some old people who were not too old and powerless, this kind of illogical selection made Sophia feel at a loss, she really couldn't understand what Bai Feng's intention was in selecting these people.

At midnight on October 21, Adrion was teleported to his military tent by Bai Feng with twenty battlefield ghosts, and at this time, in a very large military tent in the barracks, a full 600 talents carefully selected by Bai Feng were waiting for Adrien and the others to arrive.

Adrian, who had been specially instructed by Bai Feng in Rome, came to the barracks of the Fourth Route Army, and the title of Bai Feng changed from the original 'governor' to the current 'general';

"General, the young men of these people may be able to train good intelligence officers, but it would be a little inappropriate to mix old men and women with them, after all, their actions are not flexible enough, and they may not be very smooth when used to carry out their tasks. ”

"Do you think I'm asking you to train them to be like the ghosts of the battlefield?" Facing Adrien, who would be misguided, Bai Feng asked rhetorically: "These six hundred people are the people of the five eastern provinces that I selected from more than 300,000 refugees, do you know what I mean?"

"You mean, our next task is to use these six hundred people as liaisons, through them to gain the trust of the people of the fallen provinces, and then to obtain the deployment of the orc army and other information from the mouths of the people?"

"Not bad. Bai Feng nodded in approval: "There are only twenty battlefield ghosts under your command, and it is impossible to find out how many orc armies there are in a short period of time; ”

"General, then I will give an order to the ghosts of the battlefield tonight, and let them take these people to each of the fallen provinces in batches;

"Heaven and earth, pervasive, you are my net in the eastern region of the empire!"

"No!" Adrian, who understood it, immediately bowed down and obeyed the order.

After handing over the six hundred intelligence members he had carefully selected to Adrien, the question of the intelligence of the orc army was temporarily put on Bai Feng's mind, and the combat effectiveness of the four Eastern Legions once again became a top priority that Bai Feng had to solve.

The young refugees who formed the Eastern Legion were full of vengeance, but they were not very proficient in even the most basic tactical training in the Imperial Army; seeing that the day of sending troops was getting closer and closer, and the training of the Eastern Legion was still not improving, Bai Feng finally began to get anxious.

Even if the Eastern Legion is not the main combat strength of the Fourth Route Army, their role is still very large, especially in the war to recapture the occupied provinces, the Eastern Army can play an even greater role than the main army.

And Bai Feng's basic requirement for the Eastern Legion is that they can advance in a neat queue, which is the minimum requirement for any other legion, and among the four Eastern Legions, it has become a 'high difficulty' requirement that they have never been able to meet!

If it is only the soldiers under the command of the two temporary legion commanders, Keitel and Brauchitsch, that cannot meet the standard, Bai Feng can also explain it with their lack of experience, but it is not only the legions of these two legion commanders who do not meet the standard, but also the legions of Aetius and Cabitus.

The two army commanders of Aetius and Cabitus were both self-grown system generals, whether it was Aetius from the Roman Youth Army or Gallitus from the Spartan heavy infantry, the system troops they originally belonged to were extremely orderly.

Therefore, it is not that the four army commanders do not pay attention to order, nor that they do not train the officers under their command with their hearts, but that the soldiers of the Eastern Legion who are refugees and young people really lack the concept of rules, and the speed of learning the basic tactics in the imperial army is too slow!

Thinking about it, the Imperial Military Department recruits soldiers in various provinces of the Empire every year, and the officers and men of the Eastern Legion are actually the young men of the Empire who have been eliminated by the Imperial Military Department; there is no doubt that their elimination is not without reason.

Bai Feng, who knew that the troubled times needed to use heavy codes, directly let the system of the pro-guard army act as the supervisor of the daily training of the Eastern Legion after the encouragement was fruitless;
