"This is the matter of our five major families in the southern realm jointly forming the Southern Realm Alliance, what do you all think?" After Long Teng left, Bai Haotian gathered everyone in the Bai family in the secret room of the Bai Mansion to discuss the future development of the Bai family with everyone.

Because the specific process of this matter was only known to Bai Mingcheng and Bai Feng, who were observing, he explained the content of the previous discussions with the other four family heads to the Bai family, and waited until everyone understood the situation before asking everyone's opinions.

"Big brother, the third brother and I don't understand these family affairs, if you decide something, we will all listen to you!" Bai Haowen, who was sitting at the head of Bai Haotian's world, expressed his support for Bai Haotian and his attitude of not participating in the discussion in a concise and clear way.

"Well, you just need to take command of the Southern Swordsman Regiment that is about to be formed, and I will take care of the rest of the family affairs. "It is a common practice for Bai Haowen and Bai Haowu not to participate in family management, and Bai Haotian naturally has no opinion on this.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the Bai family had these two martial idiots who were devoting themselves to cultivation, how could they possibly have the current status? The Twin Sword Masters sounded a hundred times stronger than the Twin Great Sword Masters, which was the pride of the Bai family!

Thinking of the birth of the Twin Sword Saints and the rapid rise of the Bai family's status in the southern region, Bai Haotian turned his kind gaze to Bai Feng, who was frowning and silent;

"Father, the formation of the Southern Alliance is indeed a good thing for our five major families in the Southern Border, but our Bai family is different from the other four major families, and the Roman City they are most worried about will not pose a threat to us. Soon, Bai Mingcheng interrupted Bai Haotian's thoughts.

"No one is allowed to mention the matter of the city of Rome from now on!" Bai Haotian, who reacted, first admonished the Bai family in a stern tone, and then replied to Bai Mingcheng: "Then tell me, what should our Bai family do?"

Bai Mingcheng, who was accustomed to being scolded by his father, didn't mind the sternness in his father's tone at all, he still replied with a normal expression: "Our Bai family should make every effort to develop the strength of our own family on the basis of maintaining cooperation with the other four major families!"

"On the basis of cooperating with other families, make every effort to develop the strength of your own family?" After repeating the words of his eldest son, Bai Haotian, who was moved, looked up at Bai Feng before continuing: "Let's listen to it specifically. ”

"Father, my thoughts are like this, the formation of the Southern Alliance can not only unite our five major families in the southern border to deal with the threat of barbarian forces, but also allow us to win more voice within the empire.

The empire that is caught in a two-front war must have enough time to mobilize more troops, and it just so happens that our Bai family has a new twin sword master at this time, and this is the best opportunity for our Bai family to become stronger!

If nothing else, it will only take a month at most, and the order to canonize the second and third uncles as imperial dukes will be issued, and at that time, our Bai family will be a duke family above the marquis, and the opportunity for expansion will come.

According to the order of the nobles of the empire, the duke of the empire can have his own personal guard, but the size cannot exceed 5,000, and we can use the establishment of these two personal guards to form two new armies of 5,000 people, so as to strengthen the strength of the family!"

"Big brother, does our family have the strength to form a new army of 10,000 people on the premise of expanding the Eleventh Legion?" As soon as Bai Mingcheng's words fell, Bai Mingming, who was known as the family's think tank, pointed out the biggest loophole in his plan.

Facing his second brother's questioning, Bai Mingcheng just smiled and didn't speak, but turned his gaze to Bai Feng, who was sitting at the back, and Bai Haotian, who also looked directly at Bai Feng, said directly: "Feng'er, what do you think of your father's plan?"

"Grandfather, father, second uncle. Bai Feng, who had expected it, stood up slowly, and said calmly to the three elders who were looking at him: "I agree with my father's idea of enhancing the strength of the Bai family, but I still feel that this plan is too cautious. ”

"Too cautious?!" Bai Feng, who was not shocked, not only shocked his father Bai Mingcheng, but also shocked the other Bai family members present;

"Yes, too cautious. Ignoring the shocked look on the faces of the Bai family, Bai Feng explained to himself: "The Bai family was only a marquis family before, even if it was about to be promoted to the duke family, it was difficult to change the family background and comprehensive strength in the short term.

This is clear to us, as are the other clans and imperial magnates in the South, no matter what the attitude of any other force towards our Bai family is, their attitude is based on our Bai family's twin sword masters, not on the overall strength of our Bai family.

Perhaps, in normal thinking, it will take at least decades or even hundreds of years for a family to rise, and if our Bai family wants to truly become a real duke family, it will inevitably take thirty or fifty years, which is still the advantage of having two sword saints.

Taking advantage of the negligence of others, improving the strength of our Bai family as soon as possible is the best time for our Bai family to rise rapidly, so I think that the plan to expand the army by 10,000 is too slow, and it is simply not enough for our Bai family to have the strength to surpass other southern families. ”

"Feng'er, since you have said so, let's talk about your plan. After getting his satisfied answer, Bai Haotian ignored Bai Mingcheng and the others who were still digesting, and directly began to ask Bai Feng's thoughts.

Bai Feng, who didn't want to waste time, also replied bluntly: "Grandpa, my idea is very simple, that is, the city of Rome will provide weapons and equipment, food and grass materials to help the family expand the army, and the scale of the expansion army is at least 30,000!"

"Expand the army by 30,000?!" Bai Mingcheng, who exclaimed in surprise, had to make an objection and suggested: "If our Bai family really expands the army by 30,000, it will definitely arouse the vigilance of the other four major families, and may even lead to the dissolution of the alliance, which is not a good thing for us." ”

"Mingcheng, let Feng'er finish speaking. Bai Hao really wanted to slap his eldest son twice, he had been the head of the family for so many years, and he was still not mature enough!

"Grandfather and father, of this newly formed army of 30,000, only 10,000 will remain in the province of Llorente in the name of the ducal guard, and the other 20,000 will travel to the city of Rome by water, where they will be armed and trained, and then return to the family when the time is right.

In addition, the female knight unit under my aunt's command can also be expanded, and on the original basis, we can form our own knight group of the Bai family; as for the scale, it can be tentatively set at 3,000 people, and these 3,000 female knights can definitely become an ace force of our family!"

"Will female knights be inferior to male ...... in terms of combat power" Bai Mingxing, who was worried, was interrupted by Bai Anjun with a look of indignation before he finished speaking: "Third child, you have the ability to go out and fight me alone, see who can't beat whom!"
