"Chapter 41: The New General"
Fate often makes people of high moral character engage in menial trades, and creation often hides extraordinary talents under ugly appearances. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
- Giovanni Boccaccio (a prominent representative of the Italian Renaissance movement, a humanist)
After ordering Adrien to go down and rest, Bai Feng's excited mood could not calm down for a long time, this time the army of Rome City annihilated the main army of Francis in one fell swoop, and killed Francis himself, truly laying the foundation for the hegemony of Rome City!
From now on, the east and west banks of the main stream of the Cangluo River will be included in the sphere of influence of the city of Rome, and the kingdom of Estheni, one of the three major overlords that once dominated the eastern region, will also become a subsidiary kingdom of the city of Rome, which is where Bai Feng's excitement lies!
The reunited Aceni Kingdom will maintain an army of about 70,000 and be subject to the movement of the city of Rome, and the army of the city itself will be directly used in the foreign war of the city of Rome, and the situation is already very good for the city of Rome.
Bai Feng, who really had no intention of resting, suddenly remembered that it was already the end of November, and it would be a new December in two days, but he hadn't even read the October financial report when the city of Rome entered November, and he immediately looked at it carefully.
October Financial Report (October 916 AH)
Agriculture: Income 2,400 gold, expenditure 2,000 gold (purchase of grain)
Mining: income 350 gold, expenditure 0
Trade: Income 7550 gold, expenses 0
Taxes: 6,480 gold in income, 2,400 gold in expenses (100 gold each for the tax officer, civil protection officer, and patrol guard)
Fortune: 300 gold (100 gold per month for each general)
Army Maintenance Cost: 1034 Gold Expenditure (Consolidation)

Last month's total: income 16,780 gold, expenditure 15,400 gold
Last month's surplus: income 1380 gold
Total amount of the treasury at the beginning of the month: 12,500 gold
Current Treasury Total: 13,880 gold
In the city of Rome in October, the rise in trade and taxes was completely within Bai Feng's expectations, but how could the tax expenditure in the expenditure suddenly increase by 300 gold compared to before, this slight discrepancy attracted Bai Feng's attention, and then he clicked on the city attribute table.

The total population of Rome had risen so much in a single month, to more than 30,000 people, and this could not have been a natural increase, even if the population of Rome had been increased by the temple of Apollo.
After thinking about it carefully, Bai Feng understood why the population of Rome City had grown to more than 33,000 people, it must have been the last time he sacrificed, and the High Priest Binglan once again used the excess power of faith to increase the population of Rome City.
Bai Feng, who was familiar with the High Priest of Binglan, knew that this kind of thing must have been done by her, and she was always like this, willing to use the precious power of faith in her eyes for the development of the city of Rome, rather than the extension of her own life.
After reading the financial report and city attributes of Rome City last month, Bai Feng found that the general attribute column in the city list of Rome City was actually flashing, exactly the same as the last time Peris became a system general.
Could it be that in this decisive battle with Francis's army, there was a new system general in the city of Rome? Bai Feng, who did not know Leonida's performance in turning the tide, did not know the existence of Leonidas, but the system would tell Bai Feng everything.
General: Leonidas (High Senior Swordsman)
General's Guard: Twenty-four Roman heavy cavalry (junior and senior swordsmen)
The last time Peris became a general recognized by the system, it was because the 10,000 longbowmen under his command annihilated the nearly 40,000 army under Francis's command at the cost of no casualties;
The crux of the matter is not what Leonidas's record is, but his name and identity are too shocking to Bai Feng, and in today's decisive battle between the army of Rome City and the army of Francis, the system army of Rome City only has six teams of the Cheetah Legion's special temple troops.
With the Spartan heavy infantry pressing the Macedonian royal pikemen, this new general must not be from the Macedonian royal pikemen;
Leonidas, the greatest and most well-known king in the history of the Spartan city-states, may not be familiar with his name, but who doesn't know the famous Battle of Thermopylae? Who doesn't know the famous Spartan Three Hundred Warriors?
Leonidas, the king of Sparta who commanded 300 Spartan warriors against the Persian invaders at the Battle of Thermopay, was one of the most revered heroes in the entire Greek city-state, and his deeds are widely circulated.
Now this new system general in the city of Rome actually has the name Leonidas, and he himself is still killed from the Spartan heavy infantry, which is not for Bai Feng to pay attention to, and in the end Bai Feng still resisted the urge to see him tonight.
Early the next morning, the first thing Bai Feng did when he got up was to ask Maxi to go to the military camp of the Cheetah Legion and find the leaders of the Cheetah Legion, Gatus and Leonidas;
Less than three minutes after Maxi went out, he returned to the tent with Gatus in black armor and Leonidas dressed as a typical Spartan warrior;
Facing Bai Feng's gaze, Leonidas did not have the slightest cowardice, and after approaching Bai Feng's side, the two of them also saluted Bai Feng with the same etiquette;
As the commander of the Cheetah Legion, walking side by side with Leonidas, who was only a centurion of the Spartan heavy infantry, was enough to prove how amazing Leonidas's performance on the battlefield was, but Bai Feng did not intend to let go of his curiosity about Leonidas.
"Leonidas, Centurion, I want to give you a new appointment, but before I give you this new appointment, I wonder how you earned it, after all, you are only a centurion, and my appointment is at least a commander. ”
