- Menander (Greek New Comedy Poet)

Before discussing the issue of construction with Yue'er, Bai Feng decided to start recruiting the first batch of young soldiers in the city of Rome, each team of young soldiers was still composed of 160 young army soldiers as always, and the attributes were similar to the initial four teams of youth army soldiers.

Class: Roman Youth

Capacity: 160 people

Experience: None

Recruitment/Maintenance Cost: 440g/170g

Armament: short sword, square shield, javelin

Features: Throws javelins before charging, can dig tunnels

The recruitment price is nearly three times higher than that of the urban militia, so that the cost performance of the youth army is still inferior to that of the urban militia, especially on the basis of the annual cost of maintaining the army, the cost performance of the urban militia is far greater than that of the youth army.

The combat effectiveness of a group of urban militia is certainly not as good as that of a group of young soldiers, but if three groups of urban militia join forces to fight a group of young soldiers, then the youth army will not even have the slightest chance of winning; coupled with the image of the standard Roman warriors and red capes of the urban militia, Bai Feng himself has completely changed his view of the urban militia.

Helplessly, the army that can be recruited in Rome City is extremely limited, and it must be controlled within 15% of the total population, which means that Bai Feng must consider the cost performance as much as possible while also considering the combat effectiveness of the army.

Based on the current total population of more than 10,000 people in Rome City, Rome City can only have about 1,500 regular army soldiers at most, and on the basis of already having three teams of town militia, Bai Feng can also recruit about seven teams of soldiers. (The population of the city of Rome has been growing)

If all these seven groups of officers and men are served by the more cost-effective urban militia, their combat effectiveness will be extremely limited, and the role they can play on the battlefield will also be limited; if the seven teams of young soldiers are to serve as the soldiers, the improvement in combat effectiveness will be obvious.

This also proves a truth, recruiting the army itself is also a trade-off, how to choose the most beneficial recruitment method for the city of Rome between the trade-offs, is the principle that Bai Feng should follow when recruiting the army.

In addition, funds are also one of the principles that Bai Feng must consider, after taking out 1000 gold to buy food and 1200 gold to build a town barracks, the treasury funds of Rome City are only 3145 gold; considering that Rome City will soon build a new building, Bai Feng decided to temporarily recruit four teams of young soldiers, which will spend 1760 gold of treasury funds in Rome City.

After clicking on the four teams of Roman Youth Army in the recruitment column one after another, the treasury funds of Roman City were once again sharply reduced to 1385 gold; after confirming the recruitment of these four teams of Roman Youth Army, Bai Feng planned to go to Yue'er's room to discuss the next construction plan.

Knock knock, knock knock......

"Bai Feng, if you want to come in, come in directly, what kind of door are you knocking, it will affect people's rest!" After coming to the door of Yue'er's room, Bai Feng knocked on her door as a matter of course, but it turned out to be a lazy reproach from Yue'er.

The embarrassed Bai Feng had no choice but to push the door directly, as soon as he walked into Yue'er's room, Bai Feng was a little stunned, it turned out that Yue'er was yawning and stretching in the room;

What's even worse is that while Yue'er is stretching her waist, the snow white on her chest is also dazzling, coupled with the team of white rabbits that are about to come out, Bai Feng admits that he is shamefully hard......

"Why are you still watching, isn't it really good-looking?" Yue'er saw Bai Feng staring at her with an aggressive gaze like this, she proudly stood up her proud twin peaks, and then asked Bai Feng with a smile.

"Yes, it's really good-looking!" In the face of Yue'er's inquiry, Bai Feng subconsciously answered the truth in his heart; as soon as he said this, Bai Feng immediately realized that something was wrong, and when he thought of his straightforwardness just now, Bai Feng directly wanted to find a crack in the ground to drill down, and he quickly waved his hand with a flushed face and explained:

"Well, I just made a slip of the tongue, I didn't mean to see it...... No, no, no, I obviously didn't see anything, so you better hurry up and put on your clothes, and come to my room to find me when you get dressed!"

After Bai Feng, who was overly nervous, turned his nonsense upside down, he quickly fled from Yue'er's room, and after watching Bai Feng steal away with a blushing face, there was a burst of laughter like a silver bell in Yue'er's room.

More than half an hour later, Yue'er came to Bai Feng's room, when Bai Feng saw this well-dressed Yue'er, he was completely confused; Yue'er's light purple long hair was coiled high, and a strand of long hair hung down on each side, and the sky-blue crystal hairpin was inserted horizontally on the coiled hair, with silver branches and leaf carvings and silver beads embellished.

Her body is covered with a light blue short robe, the back is decorated with flower-like patterns, the dark blue neckline with light blue dark lines is particularly conspicuous, and the waist is a sea blue background purple blue and dark blue waist seal, wearing a sea blue wide-sleeved long skirt and a moon-white collared mid-top, the long skirt is dragging to the ground, the skirt has violet stripes at the hem, the skirt is flower-shaped, and it is like a fairy descending to earth between walks!

Seeing such a beautiful and moving Yue'er for the first time, Bai Feng looked a little stupid, but fortunately, Yue'er's silver bell-like laughter sounded in Bai Feng's room again, and Bai Feng finally regained his senses in such a light laugh.

After smiling a little embarrassedly, Bai Feng praised Yue'er, who was like a fairy: "Yue'er, where did you get this dress? It's just like it's made for you, it's so beautiful that it's almost hard to breathe!"

"Phew!" Yue'er heard Bai Feng's exaggerated praise, but she whispered, but her smiling expression still betrayed the joy in her heart, and then, she asked Bai Feng directly:

"The blacksmith shop that was under construction just now has suddenly been built, and the town barracks that have not yet been built have also been built, are the eight statues of gods sent back by Licinius already being successfully sacrificed?"

"Yes, after the high priest of Binglan sacrificed these eight gods, we in Rome got the benefit of having these two buildings built in advance. Yue'er got back to business, and Bai Feng naturally threw all his cranky thoughts out of his mind.

"Based on my estimation of these eight idols, the High Priest of Binglan should not have benefited from them this time, and these two buildings that have been repaired in advance should need to exhaust the power of faith obtained by the sacrifices of these idols, but this is indeed a good thing for our Roman city. ”

"Well, once we've built the blacksmith and town barracks in advance, we'll be able to build an elite mercenary force in the hurry, and I'm also starting to recruit four teams of young soldiers, so I'll have to listen to your advice on what to build next. ”
