People are often more moved by hope than they are about loss, especially for those who are not well versed in the world. In fact, it should be the other way around, because compared with the two desires, it should be more natural to keep things without losing them than to get things.www.biquge.info The reason for this dislocation is that, in general, hope is more sensational than fear. Because of this, it is easy for people to be fearful, but to dream when there is no hope.

After the fleet sailed out of the port of Jiuhe, it sailed in the northeast direction along a fixed course, and the calm sea voyage made Bai Feng, who was quite bored, focus on cultivation;

Bai Feng, who had previously spent several months advancing from a fifth-level high-level swordsman to a sixth-level high-level swordsman, had once again grown by leaps and bounds in his strength not long after he had just been promoted.

The golden source of spiritual power was still floating in Bai Feng's dantian, but the spiritual power beads surrounding the source of spiritual power had changed from six to nine, which meant that Bai Feng's strength had reached the point of a ninth-level senior sword master!

From a middle-level high-level swordsman to a high-level high-level swordsman, this is not only an increase in strength, but also a qualitative change in spiritual power; the spiritual power in Baifeng's dantian was originally a rich golden, but now it is gradually changing to a pale gold, which is a manifestation of the continuous strengthening of spiritual power.

When the spiritual power in Bai Feng's dantian turned into a white gold that was almost invisible, it was the spiritual power that belonged to the level of the Great Sword Master, and the Great Sword Master, who was not yet twenty years old, had an irrepressible smile on his face when he thought of this.

Although Bai Feng was not very familiar with the power system of this world, his time in the Bai family was enough for Bai Feng to understand the value of the existence of the Great Sword Master's level;

That is still the realm reached by several old people of the Bai family's grandfather's generation, as the four brothers and sisters of Bai Jiajian's father, Bai Mingcheng and Bai Anyun, who are the strongest, they are only third-level great swordsmen and third-level great magicians, which shows the rarity of great swordsmen.

Of course, Bai Feng didn't plan to raise his strength to the level of a Great Sword Master in the short term, if he really wanted to improve his strength, he only needed to use one more energy light ball in the first few months, and he would have already advanced to the Great Sword Master.

The reason why Bai Feng was reluctant to use the ability light ball was mainly because he was about to leave to return to the Heavenly Dragon Empire, an eighteen-year-old Great Sword Master, this was really too shocking, and it would even attract the close attention of the Heavenly Dragon Empire's royal family.

This result is not what Bai Feng wants, what he needs is not a high-profile profile, but a low-key voice to make a fortune in a muffled voice; in order to avoid attracting special attention from others, Bai Feng had to slow down the speed of his strength improvement, so he has not used the energy light ball.

As for the Great Sword Master who was under the age of twenty, it was just an occasional happy thought in Bai Feng's heart, he had no intention of taking action; at this time, Bai Feng didn't know that the eighteen-year-old Senior Sword Master was enough to attract the attention of any force!

The second day of Bai Feng's strength improvement was the first day of December, and it was also the first day of the last month of the second year that Bai Feng left the Bai family.

Vassal: Essini Kingdom (Normal)

Region: Eastern Region of the Savage Lands

Faction Leader: Queen Boudicca (Upper Intermediate Swordsman)

Population: 558943

Strength of forces: 87,848 warriors (including apprentice swordsmen and above)

Forces: 60,000 soldiers (Joshur, Naldoba, Assam)

Force Loyalty: 95 (up to 100)

Bai Feng, who hadn't paid attention to the situation of the Aceni Kingdom for a long time, remembered Queen Boudicca's as well as the vassal kingdom of Rome that he had been ignoring, and with the fall of the Werther tribe, the Essini Kingdom played a smaller and smaller role in the Roman city system.

With a population of more than 2 million, the trade potential of Rome alone is enough for the city to develop at full strength for two years, so that the strategic value of the Acenian Kingdom in the Roman city system is far less than before.

However, the 60,000 soldiers of the Essini Kingdom are still a very important auxiliary military force in the city of Rome, and the 550,000 people of the Essini Kingdom do need the food resources of the city of Rome, which is why Bai Feng has to pay attention to the Essini Kingdom.

Regarding the assistance of the Roman city to the Aceni Kingdom, Bai Feng had already been fully responsible for Vipsani, and he only had two requirements for Vipsani: first, not to let the Aceni Kingdom have the risk of famine, and second, not to let the Roman city suffer.

As long as Vipsani does not violate these two basic principles, Bai Feng will not interfere with other specific implementation measures, and no matter how personal feelings Bai Feng has with Queen Boudicca, Bai Feng, as the governor of Rome, will not be able to ignore the interests of Rome for this.

There were almost no changes in the attributes, so Bai Feng only glanced at it and closed the vassal power attribute table of Rome City, and the financial report that was flashing white was an important system report that Bai Feng had to browse in detail on the first day of every month.

The continuous increase in trade and tax revenues has made the city of Rome's income grow satisfactorily every month, and after satisfying the closure of the financial report, Bai Feng clicked on the Rome city attribute table to take a closer look at the changes in the situation of the city of Rome in the last month.
