You can deceive yourself, you can deceive society, you can deceive the world around you, you can deceive your friends, but existence cannot be deceived. Trying to deceive existence is tantamount to making a fool of yourself. No matter how much you pretend to be, there's no escaping what you really are.

Bai Feng, who was thinking about it out of love, originally wanted to save Viriacius's life, but unfortunately, by mistake, Naoki Yoshikawa used the sacrifice of a ninja to kill Viriasius, who was a saint-level powerhouse, and helped Bai Feng end the battle in advance.

With the death of Viriacius and the surrender of Lucy's army, the war to unify the eastern part of Rome ended, and the Roman army, which had captured 70,000 or 80,000 Luci soldiers, became the final victor, and the huge eastern region had become the back garden of Rome.

The next thing Bai Feng needed to do was to transfer Vipsani from Rome to the north bank of the Cangluo River, and let him pacify the people of the Eastern Alliance and the Luxi tribes who were under the rule of Rome as soon as possible in the name of the Governor's Palace of Rome.

According to the original plan, the eastern league's ruling areas on the east and west banks of the Cangluo River would be divided into six direct towns, and the total population of the eastern alliance would drop to about 1.1 million, even if it became twelve direct towns of the Roman city.

The northern part of the Luxi tribe, which was annexed by the Roman city, had a total population of about 1.3 million people, and Bai Feng's current idea was to divide them into fifteen directly subordinate towns.

When Bai Feng and Vipsani were discussing in the city of Rome, considering that the population of the Luxi tribe was as high as 2.4 million, their previous idea was to divide the Luxi tribe into 30 directly subordinate towns after the annexation of the city of Rome.

Now, the Luxi Kingdom, with Yamashita Yoki as the king, has not only divided half of the territory of the former Luxi tribe, but also divided the population of the former Luxi tribe of nearly one million, and the remaining people of the Luxi tribe no longer need to divide so many towns directly under it.

As a result, the territories and people of the Eastern Alliance and the Luxi tribe, which had recently been incorporated into the sphere of influence of the city of Rome, had to build twenty-seven new towns under their direct control, and the construction of such large-scale towns was also a considerable burden on the wealthy city of Rome.

Before the establishment of these 27 directly subordinate towns and their affiliated tuntian military districts, the food needs of more than 2.4 million barbarian people will bring a very heavy economic burden to the developing city of Rome.

What made Bai Feng even more helpless was that the newly established Lucy Kingdom and the eastern provinces of the Heavenly Dragon Empire, which were in a state of recovery, also needed the assistance of Roman City, where could the Roman City, which had limited food production, support the development and construction of so many areas.

Fortunately, in the market of Rome City, he could use the treasury funds to buy grain without limit, which was the confidence of Bai Feng to annex the Eastern Alliance and the Luxi tribe in one go; with millions of treasury funds, he had enough funds to buy sufficient grain.

As long as the food problem is solved, both the Kingdom of Luci, which is dependent on the city of Rome, and the towns directly under the direct rule of the city of Rome, will be quickly stabilized, and at that time, the overall strength of the city of Rome will surely develop by leaps and bounds!

Bai Feng, who sent the ghost of the battlefield back to Rome to deliver orders to Vipsani, had to deal with the large number of Lucy warriors and Eastern Alliance soldiers captured by the Roman army, and the fate of the latter had already been decided.

In order to maintain the balance of power between the Essini Kingdom and the Lucy Kingdom, all the captured Eastern Alliance soldiers and their families will be relocated to the Essini Kingdom, and the ultimate goal of Bai Feng is to make the population of the Essini Kingdom reach one million, and the overall strength is not inferior to the Lucy Kingdom.

The task of escorting the captured Eastern Alliance soldiers and their families to the kingdom of Esini was handed over by Bai Feng to the Fifth and Sixth Roman legions under the command of Luquis, and Nelson's Roman Spear Legion was responsible for assisting the two Roman legions to ensure that the captives did not escape on the way.

The reason why Nelson's Roman Spear Legion assisted the two Roman legions to move south, rather than the more intimidating Antio's Heavy Hammer Legion, was partly because the light cavalry was more mobile than the heavy cavalry, and partly because Hakuho needed time to think.

Nelson, the captain of the Roman Spear Legion, his performance in the decisive battle can be described as useless, and for Nelson, who performed so badly, Bai Feng had countless reasons to dismiss him from his position, and even cancel the number of the Roman Spear Legion!

What can give Bai Feng a headache is that Nelson and his Roman Spear Legion have also made great contributions in the early development of Rome City, and Nelson's own loyalty is at the level of die-hard loyalty, Bai Feng really can't bear to punish him heavily.

As a leader, the most taboo thing is that the rewards and punishments are not clear enough, if Bai Feng really does not deal with Nelson who made a big mistake because of Nelson's past achievements, then all the reward and punishment systems in the future city of Rome will be reduced to empty words.

Therefore, it is impossible for Bai Feng not to punish Nelson, let alone mention his past merits in the matter of punishment; merit is a merit or a fault, a merit is a reward, and a punishment is excessive, and this is what a qualified leader should do.

Of course, Bai Feng still needs to discuss the specific handling of Nelson and his Roman Spear Legion, after all, Luquis is the supreme military commander of Rome City personally appointed by Bai Feng, and the Roman Spear Legion in this battle also happens to be under his command.

After two hours of careful discussion, Bai Feng and Luquis finally reached a consensus to remove Nelson from his position as Legion Commander on charges of ineffective command and improper command, and officially changed the name of the Roman Spear Legion to the Swift Wolf Legion.

The Swift Wolf Legion, which was directly renamed by the Roman Spear Legion, will be served as the acting captain of the Legion by Nelson, who has just been dismissed, and whether Nelson's position of acting Legion can be regularized depends on his own performance.

The city of Rome, which had an ever-expanding army, now had seven Roman legions, four barbarian legions, three phalanx legions, and two cavalry legions, and the city of Rome had sixteen legionnaire commanders.

If the eighteen Tuntian legions of the six tuntian military districts were included, the number of legionnaires in the city of Rome would be as high as thirty-four, which meant that any legionary commander who wanted to secure his position would have to show enough military feats to convince the others.

Otherwise, the other legion commanders would definitely not have any objections to Governor Bai Feng's decision on the surface, but they would not privately approve of the legion commander who had no combat merits, which meant that it would not be easy for anyone to sit in the position of the legion leader.

The order to change the number of the Roman Spear Legion and the revocation of the rank of the Legion of Nelson, Bai Feng planned to wait until he returned to Rome City before officially issuing it, and before that, he had to deal with the matter of Lucy's capture first, which was not a trivial matter.
