- Niccolò Machiavelli (Italian political thinker and historian)

When Bai Feng was in the Roman world, Luquis was the only general of the Augustan family who could take charge of the throne alone, and he was also the important minister who fully supported Bai Feng to ascend to the position of family leader, which is to use an old Chinese saying, that is, from the minister of the dragon to the minister of the humerus.

As a result, while Bai Feng reused Luquis, he also used many generals of the Wolf Legion, and vigorously cultivated Spartacus to become the general of the Augustan family.

Luquis, who was originally the head of the military of the House of Augustus, gradually became a military minister on a par with other generals, but did those generals who were alongside Luquis have abilities that were not inferior to Luquis? How is this possible?

Even during the period of the powerful Augustan Empire, Luquis was still one of the most capable generals in the empire, and in terms of military ability and personal prestige, Spartak was the only one who could be compared with Luquis.

Why is it that Quintus, whose personal prestige is inferior to Luquis and whose military ability is inferior to Spartacus, can be on an equal footing with Luquis? All of this, in the final analysis, is that Bai Feng has to maintain the balance within his empire and cannot let Luquis become the sole pillar of the empire.

The current situation in the city of Rome is very different from the environment of the Augustan family in the past, Bai Feng is not a foundationless family heir who needs the support of a general, he is a powerful governor in charge of the city of Rome, and he has great strength in his own right.

Even so, Bai Feng felt that Eggers' prestige among the old generals of Aceni was too high, whether it was the Nelson Commander of the Roman Spear Legion or the Simpson Commander of the Doge's Guard, they respected and obeyed Eggers no less than they were loyal to Bai Feng.

If it weren't for the fact that Eggers had too much influence on other generals from the Ethini tribe, Gamilios would not have been included in the system of Rome City by Bai Feng, and the Tassia Legion would not have become one of the main field legions of Rome.

Although Gamilios himself was not a qualified general, his seniority in the Tasya tribal alliance was sufficient for him to stand up to Eggers, and this was what Bai Feng needed, only he could balance the two forces within the city of Rome.

Rather than keeping these two forces in balance, Bai Feng wants to expand the forces directly under him, and Brono and his dragon legion will form the third force of Rome City under Bai Feng's deliberate support in the future, and they cannot become Bai Feng's direct forces.

Licinius, Antio, and Perris, the armies under the command of the Roman generals, were the most trustworthy direct forces of Bai Feng, and when the war with the Acenian Kingdom was over, Bai Feng would vigorously expand the army of these three generals.

Licinius's First Legion will undergo a new round of expansion, with Antio becoming the commander of the newly formed Second Legion, and Peris will be the commander of the Doge's Guard, which now has only 1,500 soldiers.

Continuously increasing the strength of the army of the Roman city system at the inside, and increasing the strength of the barbarian warriors outside, these are the two major means by which Bai Feng consolidates his rule;

Not long after the six town militia teams were sent to the three town guards, the recruiting battlefield ghosts and spellcasters were also recruited one after another, so Webster and Adrien were called to the governor's palace.

Bai Feng was still quite satisfied with Webster, the spellcaster's leader, and after these two actual battles, Webster caused considerable casualties to the enemy on the battlefield, which also raised his own experience level to level four.

The third-level spellcaster is only equivalent to the existence of an intermediate magician, and when it is promoted to the fourth level, it is equivalent to a high-level magician, and now Webster has used the 'Spirit Gathering Blade' to become more powerful.

However, Webster's results are still more than a step worse than Adrian's!As the leader of the battlefield ghosts, Adrian's initial experience level is level four, and after two battles, his experience level has increased to an astonishing level five!

The experience level of the fifth level is equivalent to the strength of the Great Sword Master, which is enough to show the value of the battlefield ghost in the war;

However, the excessively high recruitment price of battlefield ghosts still became a constraint for Bai Feng to recruit battlefield ghosts on a large scale, and this time Bai Feng was able to increase the number of spellcasters and battlefield ghosts to ten at one time, which can be regarded as a huge cost.

You must know that it has entered November at this time, and there are still two months before Bai Feng has to pay for the maintenance of all the system armies in Rome City for a year, which is not a small amount, and Bai Feng does not plan to use the treasury funds next month.

Summoning Webster and Adrion to the Doge's Palace, Bai Feng is not only so that they can bring back the newly recruited spellcasters and battlefield ghosts, but in less than half a month, the Roman army is going east again, and Bai Feng has two important tasks entrusted to them.

The battlefield ghosts under Adrian's command are extremely good at reconnoitring the enemy's situation, and Bai Feng, who went to the hinterland of the Aceni Kingdom half a month in advance to reconnoiter the situation, can only be handed over to Adrien;

In order to delay Francis's recovery of strength as much as possible and create chaos in the rear of the Essini Kingdom that would affect the hearts of Francis's army, Bai Feng deliberately asked Webster to lead the spellcaster to follow Adrien to the hinterland of the Essini Kingdom.

The Battlefield Ghost is tasked with gathering a lot of intel on Francis' army, while the spellcasters are tasked with creating chaos behind Francis's rear, such as pretending to be from one camp to plunder another camp, which is all sorts of sowing discord anyway.

After Webster and Adrien accepted the order, they quickly left the city of Rome with the newly recruited spellcasters and battlefield ghosts, and after basically taking care of the affairs in the city of Rome, Bai Feng, who had nothing else to do for the time being, was also ready to go to the military camp on the east bank.

The craftsmen in the city of Rome barely made less than 2,000 cold locust longbows in half a month, and the remaining more than 4,000 cold locust longbows Bai Feng was ready to hand over all the craftsmen in the east bank military camp to solve, so he took the soldiers of the governor's guard and left first.

Without the soldiers of the Governor's Guard to cut down the locust trees, the idle craftsmen tossed their crossbows and developed them, and after the soldiers of the Governor's Guard came to the East Coast Barracks, Bai Feng found that the daily production of longbows here was as high as 400!

With the production of longbows in the previous few days, and the longbows brought by Bai Feng, two-thirds of the six thousand newly formed longbowmen could already get their weapons, and the remaining one-third would take five or six days to get their weapons.
