- Thomas Aquinas (medieval scholastic philosopher and theologian)

Before recruiting sixteen teams of Roman heavy infantry, Bai Feng still has a new special class to recruit, that is, a new class that has been activated with the completion of the market - the Assassins!

The Assassins in the Roman Total War were not a powerful special class, and in many practical terms, the Assassins who were far more expensive to recruit and maintain than the Spies and Diplomats were far inferior to the Spy and the Diplomat.

But the current Roman Total War system and the Roman Total War game are completely different concepts, the original diplomat has become a magician-like spellcaster, and the spy has become an extremely powerful battlefield ghost.

So, what new changes will an assassin with twice the recruitment price and twice the maintenance price of a spy in such a new world? Bai Feng, who is extremely looking forward to it, is the first to recruit an assassin!

After clicking on the confirmation to recruit the first assassin, Bai Feng continued to recruit the other sixteen teams of Roman heavy infantry; as for what should be recruited in the remaining ten days, Bai Feng, who had not thought about it for the time being, was not in a hurry to decide.

When the construction of the Sifang Avenue was decided last month, it had already been a few days since the beginning of the month, so much so that this month Bai Feng had to wait a few more days before he could build the next building after the Sifang Dao, which was the arena that had already been decided.

At this time, there were only three buildings left in the city of Rome that had not been built: the rotation of crops to improve agricultural and food production, the university where generals studied for military studies, and the arena where gladiator competitions were held.

Because the city of Rome had a plan to produce a steady stream of food, it would be a shame to rotate crops that could only increase the grain yield of the farmlands belonging to the Roman city system, and similarly, it would be of little value to provide a university for the generals of the system to study military affairs.

Comparatively speaking, Bai Feng still prefers an arena that can be used to hold gladiator competitions and improve social security as the next building to be built, but is the crop rotation and university really as chicken as Bai Feng imagined?

From the beginning of Rome's entry into the city phase, every seemingly ordinary and ordinary building has taken on a new function, and military buildings such as urban barracks and cavalry stables can help Rome train barbarian warriors into Roman warriors who are proficient in battle formations.

Except for the stone walls, the Governor's Mansion can bring Bai Feng his own general guards, and the other buildings are really just ordinary buildings?

Bai Feng, who had not yet thought of this, had already focused his attention on the military affairs of the city of Rome, and after last month's special training, the Governor's Guard of Peris became the first army in the city of Rome to complete the special training.

The Doge's Guard before the special training was the most powerful of all the independent armies of Rome, and its overall combat effectiveness of 6,500 soldiers was in no way inferior to that of other field legions with a full strength of 14,500 soldiers.

Of course, it means that it is not inferior to those field legions, but it is impossible to really rely on the soldiers of the Doge's Guard to defeat more than twice the field legions on their own.

After all, each of these field legions to which the city of Rome belongs, every soldier is armed with the high-quality weapons and equipment of the city of Rome, and coupled with the training they usually undergo in battle formations, they themselves are also the elite divisions of the ordinary barbarian army.

In order to investigate how the combat effectiveness of the Governor's Guard has been improved, Bai Feng specially arranged a military exercise in the open field ten miles outside the city today, with Eggers' Eagle Legion against Perrys' Governor's Guard, and the commanders of both sides are only in charge.

The reason why Bai Feng chose Eggers' Eagle Legion as the opponent of the Doge's Guard was also deliberate; first, the Eagle Legion was one of the most combat-ready legions in Rome, and the only ones that could compare with it were the Tiger Legion and the Dragon Legion.

Although Upton's Lion Legion was also one of the four major field legions, the newly formed Lion Legion was actually the least effective legion in Rome, not to mention the other two Macedonian phalanx legions and cavalry legions, all of which fought differently.

Of the three legions, the Eagle Legion, the Dragon Legion, and the Tiger Legion, six of the seven wings of the Tiger Legion have undergone special training, which can almost be regarded as a corps that has completed the special training of the whole army; it is of no practical significance to let the Tiger Legion compete with the Governor's Guard.

As for why Bai Feng chose the Eagle Legion between the Dragon Legion and the Eagle Legion, the reason is still the captains of these two legions;

The overall mental outlook of the Governor's Guard, which had completed the special training, had undergone a drastic change compared to the past, which even the various legion commanders who accompanied Bai Feng to watch the battle were surprised.

In the past, although the Governor's Guard was impeccable in terms of combat effectiveness, it was difficult to march in a uniform queue and a silent posture like the Roman army, but the Governor's Guard in front of them was exactly the same as the Roman youth army!

The uniform procession, the exact same pace, and the silent march made the Doge's Guard attract the attention of all spectators as soon as they appeared, and if these outward changes did not mean anything, then the change in their momentum was internal.

Legions of barbarian warriors are prone to madness and uncontrolled in battle, but they lack a disciplined and sword-like temperament, in other words, a reckless man rather than a warrior of both wisdom and bravery.

Today's Governor's Guard gives people a sharp temperament like a sword out of the sheath, you don't need to know this army in depth at all, you only need to look from a distance to know that the other party must be an elite division that has experienced a hundred battles!

In contrast, Eggers's Eagle Legion completely fell into disadvantage, as if it had changed from the original elite division to a free and loose rabble; seeing such a scene in front of him, Bai Feng had already realized the great military value of systematic special training.

The ensuing battle was a one-sided slaughter, and even with the wooden swords and arrows used by both sides, the strong and sharp Governor's Guard defeated the outnumbered Eagle Legion with a very high fighting stance.

The reluctant Eagles tried their best to resist stubbornly, but they could not resist the onslaught of the Doge's Guard, and in the end, the Doge's Guard completely defeated Eggers' Eagle Legion at the cost of one-third of the casualties.

The result of this military exercise was unacceptable to Eggers, who was the commander of the Eagle Legion, and it also made all the generals on the viewing platform feel unbelievable;
