After determining that Bing Lan now had a life limit of one hundred and twenty years, Bai Feng's heart finally fell as a hanging stone, and after considering the huge role of the divine object with the power of faith, Bai Feng immediately said to Bing Lan excitedly:
"Binglan, soon I can get more idols containing the power of faith, and when the time comes, you can help me sacrifice all these idols to Apollo, half of the rewards will be used to increase your life span, and the other half will be used to improve the strength of our Roman city." ”
Bing Lan didn't expect that Bai Feng would promise to sacrifice half of the benefits of all the divine objects he got in the future to Apollo, although Bai Feng's promise moved Bing Lan, she still directly refused:
"Bai Feng, you don't know yet, the effect of these power of faith is far greater than you think, accelerating the development of Roman City and shortening the cooldown time of the temple's function is only a part, you can even use these power of faith to reorganize the army and increase the experience level of the army.
You don't need to give me half of the power of faith to increase my life span, 120 years of life is enough for me to live slowly, and when my life is not enough, can you increase my life span?"
In the face of Bing Lan's refusal, Bai Feng did not agree to Bing Lan's suggestion, even the fact that the power of faith can reorganize the army and improve the experience level of the army made Bai Feng show excitement again, but Bai Feng still insisted on Bing Lan:
"Even if the power of faith is far more powerful than I imagined, so what? As long as I get enough power of faith, I can do whatever I want? None of us know what will happen in the future, and the unknown future is full of dangers.
What if our city of Rome were to face a strong enemy next time? Would you want to spend fifty years of life again to summon Templars and generals? Well, that's a good idea, but only if you have enough life to consume.
I don't want to see you look tired and weak after casting spells, and from now on, I will collect as many idols as I can with the power of faith, and your task is to try to increase your life span to more than five hundred years.
Only in this way can I ask you for help in times of danger and make you my last line of defense, otherwise, can I bear to let you sacrifice your life in vain to help me?
Binglan, don't be stubborn with me in this matter, I know what kind of person you are, and I want you to know what kind of person I am;
Looking at Bai Feng's burning eyes, Bing Lan swallowed the words he originally wanted to say, and finally only turned into a silent acquiescence, and with Bing Lan's consent, Bai Feng shifted his attention to the things that excited him.
"Binglan, didn't you just say that I can recruit another team of special troops? Why don't we summon it now, the Cretan archers summoned last time played an important role, and this time it might be a surprise!"
Bai Feng's excited expression like a curious baby made Bing Lan also laugh, and then she raised the scepter in her hand and began to summon this special class for Bai Feng, and Bai Feng also walked out of the hall impatiently.
The small square in front of the Temple of Apollo was once again enveloped by a thick cloud of holy light, and just a few minutes later, a cavalry archers wearing purple military uniforms appeared in the small square, and Bai Feng quickly clicked on the long-awaited class attribute table.
Class: Parthian Cavalry
Capacity: 108
Experience: Level 1
Recruitment/Maintenance Cost: Special Recruitment/110 Gold
Armament: Bows, arrows (30 pieces)
Features: Can form a circular cavalry formation and move quickly
It turned out that Bai Feng's luck could not always be so good, and the most powerful cavalry archers in Parthia were not such archers, but the famous Persian archers, but in any case, the appearance of this cavalry made up for the lack of cavalry strength in the city of Rome.
After ordering the centurion of this cavalry to take them to the military camp in Roman City, Bai Feng walked into the main hall of the Temple of Apollo again, and saw that the face of the high priest of Binglan was still healthy and red, and Bai Feng left with peace of mind.
After returning to the governor's house, Bai Feng really found that the cultivated land had been built, and the grain production of Rome had doubled.
When building farmland, it cost 600 gold in the treasury of Rome City, and now there are only 2095 gold left in the treasury of Rome City, and the buildings that can still be built are mines and shops;
After clicking Start to build the shop, Bai Feng personally supervised the construction of the twelve silver god statues, in fact, the construction of the silver god statues was far more complicated than Bai Feng imagined, plus Bai Feng promised Gatus to build a temple for them, so they could only build four more silver god statues.
Regarding the construction of a new temple in the city of Rome, Bai Feng also asked Yue'er, and Yue'er said that Bai Feng had the right to build some new buildings in the city of Rome that did not belong to the Roman city system, but these buildings would not be recognized by the city of Rome either.
In fact, it doesn't matter if the Roman city system admits this temple or not, after all, this temple was built for the mercenary warriors led by Gatus to worship, and the people of Rome will not have any intersection with this temple.
In addition, Yue'er was also worried about whether the establishment of this temple would conflict with the Apollo Temple, so she asked Bai Feng to go to the Apollo Temple to ask the High Priest Binglan about this matter, and in this regard, the High Priest Binglan also said that the Apollo Temple would not mind.
After both Yue'er and the Temple of Apollo could allow the barbarian temple of gods to exist, Bai Feng immediately began to prepare for the construction of a small temple of gods near the mercenary barracks.
In order to better coordinate the relationship between the mercenaries and the army of Rome, Bai Feng also officially decided to build a military camp for the mercenary soldiers;
The armies of Rome had strict discipline requirements, and the mercenary warriors were all free and loose barbarian warriors, and the two sides were stationed in the same barracks, which inevitably interfered with each other, which was why Bai Feng ordered a separate barracks for the mercenary soldiers.
Bai Feng did not give an order for the construction of another military camp, but only gave the order after obtaining the consent of the mercenary soldiers, and the newly built temple of the gods was also next to this new military camp, which was conducive to the prayer and worship of the barbarian warriors.
