"Chapter 15: Inspecting the Barracks"

One has less scruples about offending a loved one than offending a man whom one fears, because love is bound together by the bond of kindness and righteousness, but because human nature is bad, at all times when it is good for oneself, one breaks the bond in two. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info but fear, because of the fear of being punished that will never give up.

- Niccolò Machiavelli (Italian political thinker and historian)

Seeing that those originally high-spirited captains became ashamed, Bai Feng, who had achieved his goal, didn't say anything, he just secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then smiled and asked Captain Joshuel who was leading the way for him:

"General Joshuaer, do you still need any weapons and equipment and other supplies after your Aceni Legion is replenished this time? If there is anything that our Roman city can provide, just ask, we will definitely do our best to provide it!"

"Governor, you are so polite! General Peris has already sent a large amount of weapons and equipment to our Aceni tribe, and these weapons and equipment are more than enough for our Aceni Legion to restore its strength;

"Haha, it's General Joshuel, you're too polite! The previous great victory was won by you and my armies together, and the captured booty itself should be half of yours, and it was not given to you by us, but the booty you deserved!"

"Alas, how dare we take credit for that great victory, if it weren't for the soldiers of Rome to protect our Aceni tribe, you would not have needed to fight a fierce battle with Francis at the cost of losing 20,000 soldiers, and besides, you are the main force to win the victory!"

Qiao Xiuer's dejected words did not make Bai Feng feel the slightest sense of pride, he just patted Qiao Xiuer's shoulder with relief, pointed to the soldiers of the Aceni Legion who were training, and said to Qiao Xiuer firmly:

"General Jossier, look at these hard-trained soldiers, as long as you Essini tribe have these warriors who are willing to sacrifice their lives to protect their homeland, you are the greatest victors, and they are your proudest capital!

Also, don't feel guilty about our city of Rome, from the day we became allies with the Estheni tribe, it is our duty to help you, and we will always be each other's most trustworthy friends!

If an enemy wants to attack your Aceni tribe this time, our army in Rome will naturally fight for you, and the next time an enemy attacks our city of Rome, I also believe that your Aceni tribe's army will fight for us, are you right?"

"Rest assured, Governor, if any enemy wants to invade your Roman city, our Acenian soldiers will fight for you with all their might!"

"Haha, with your words from General Joshuaer, all the efforts of our army in Rome City are worth it!"

Eggers, who was silently listening to Bai Feng's conversation with Joshuel in the rear, just glanced at the soldiers of the Essini Legion who were training a little helplessly, and then sighed softly in an imperceptible voice, he was full of worry and didn't know what to say!

After about half an hour in the barracks of the Essini Legion, Bai Feng took the generals behind him to bid farewell to General Joshuaer, and the enthusiastic Joshuel sent Bai Feng and the others outside the barracks before returning to his own barracks.

On the way back to the military camp in Rome City, Bai Feng, who killed two birds with one stone, didn't say anything, as expressionless as he had been more than half an hour ago, but his brisk pace still betrayed his mood, but he was becoming more and more proficient in this point.

After returning to the military camp in Rome City, Bai Feng did not leave these generals behind, nor did he say a word to them, but just asked them to hurry back to the army to train the soldiers under their own command and prepare for the next battle.

After sending off the generals, Bai Feng took his retinue to the place where Perus trained the longbowmen, and although a third of the longbowmen did not get their longbows, Peris always had his way to help them train.

The large number of ordinary bows and arrows that had been replaced before was an excellent tool for Peris to train these longbowmen, and the normal bows and arrows had a much shorter range than the cold locust longbow, which also helped them improve their accuracy.

In fact, the longbowmen's actual shooting range of up to 400 meters made it almost impossible for them to guarantee their accuracy, but the projectile of at least 1,000 people still made their actual combat effectiveness far superior to that of regular archers.

Even the invincible Cretan archers of the regular archer could not compete with the same number of longbowmen at 350 meters, and from 350 meters to 150 meters, the distance of 200 meters was enough for the longbowmen to completely wipe out the Cretan archers.

This means that the Cretan archers will not be able to get close to their effective range, and they will be completely annihilated by the longbowmen with an astonishing range, and I have to admit that this new class of archer created by Bai Feng is enough to change the history of archers in the whole world.

In the past wars in this world, the existence of spiritual power made the lethality of archers extremely limited, and the distance of a hundred meters or so was only a matter of seconds for swordsmen and knights above the rank of trainee swordsman and knight squire.

How many rounds of arrows can the archers shoot in a few seconds? Even if the arrows are shot out, how can swordsmen and knights with spiritual protection be so easy to shoot? This alone is enough to put the archers in an insignificant position.

However, the cruel reality is not only that, the presence of mages crushes archers in terms of distance and power, but fortunately the number of mages is seriously insufficient, otherwise the value of archers will be completely wiped out.

However, these are all old histories before the longbowmen, and with the existence of the longbowmen, an archer with an amazing range, the archers who were almost swept into the dustbin of history in the past are finally going to show a new side to this continent with spiritual power and magic!

The longbowmen troops, which Bai Feng had high hopes for, became stronger and stronger under the command of Peris, and their serious training attitude made Bai Feng who inspected them very satisfied, and with a smile on his face, Bai Feng left Perrys' longbow troops.

After the morning was almost over, Bai Feng had lunch with the soldiers below in the room of the governor's guard, and the generals of all levels ate and walked with the soldiers under his command, which was also the mandatory rule that Bai Feng set for the legions in the city of Rome.

Unless he reaches the level of the commander of the legion, even the captain who commands a thousand people must eat and walk with the soldiers under his command; as for Bai Feng's own practice, he simply prefers the food of the governor's guard.

In the afternoon, Bai Feng went to the garrisons of the various legions to inspect again, and after the observation of the Essini legions in the morning, the training atmosphere of the various legions in Rome City has really changed, and compared with yesterday's wanton recklessness, today it has become much more civilized and united.
