- Mazzini (one of the founders of a unified Italy)
Alan and Ike's trading fleet had been ordered by Bai Feng to assemble in the Roman harbor a few days earlier, but fortunately, the number of troops on this expedition was only more than 20,000, which was smaller than the size of the last landing army, and fewer ships were needed.
In this way, fourteen transports could be left in Roman ports to help the merchants who traveled between the banks of the Cangluo River to transport goods and supplies, and without the shipping support of the Roman city, it would be difficult for the merchants who lacked ships to cross the Cangluo River with their goods.
After the extinction of the Vitus tribe, the greatest military threat to the city of Rome, the huge Roman fleet was completely free, and the Roman city fleet, which did not need to blockade the Cangluo River, dispatched a full thirty triremes of warships to escort the expeditionary fleet.
If Bai Feng didn't want to take too many warships to sea, the number of warships escorting the fleet could even reach an astonishing fifty, and this was still the number of warships that could be dispatched without affecting the Roman city fleet blockading the left flank tributaries of the Cangluo River.
The Roman City Fleet, consisting of 20 double ships and 70 triremes, not only had a large number of warships, but also had 12,500 longbowmen attached to each warship, which was the real weapon of the Roman City Fleet.
In fact, with the impact power of the double and triple battleships in naval battles, supplemented by the ultra-long range and super penetration of the longbowmen, the combat power of the fleet of the Roman city was already very strong, but Bai Feng was still not very satisfied with this.
In Bai Feng's opinion, the fleet of Roman City must be more than enough to deal with the barbarian forces that basically do not have warships, but this does not mean that the fleet of Roman City can sit back and relax, who knows what kind of combat power the warships of the Heavenly Dragon Empire have?
What if the warships of the Celestial Dragon Empire were better than the warships of Rome City in terms of performance? People who have no foresight must have near-term worries, and rushing out of the barbaric land to the civilized world is the only way for Rome City to continue to grow and develop.
The current military strength of the city of Rome is mainly composed of the army and navy, and the army is needless to say, the fierce barbarian warriors and elite system soldiers are enough to make the army of the civilized world embarrassed, but the navy alone makes Bai Feng have to worry.
The nations of the civilized world possess superb forging skills and exquisite shipbuilding skills, and the warships made by their civilized countries are not necessarily inferior to those of Rome in terms of combat effectiveness, and may even be stronger.
Although Roman warships were equipped with a large number of longbowmen, civilized countries had sharper long-range striking forces than longbowmen, and mages who were proficient in all types of magic were the deadliest threat to Roman warships, especially fire mages with strong attack power.
The pure wooden Roman warship was a disaster when it encountered the fire magic unleashed by the fire magician, and the only person in Rome who could compete with the magician was Webster's spellcaster.
Compared to the magicians who are proficient in various types of magic, the caster with a single attack method is undoubtedly at a disadvantage, but the caster's strong strength is not easy for the magician to have, after all, the caster who has just been summoned can have the combat power of an intermediate magician.
The number of mages is scarce, and the vast majority of mages are just apprentices and junior mages, because mages need more talent than swordsmen.
In order to enhance the combat effectiveness of Roman warships, Bai Feng deliberately assigned each warship a special spellcaster, considering the disparity between the number of spellcasters and the number of warships that Rome City currently has, this is just an idea in Bai Feng's mind.
The voyage for several days made Bai Feng, who did not have Yue'er and Binglan as companions, very bored; except for cultivating his spiritual power in the cabin tomorrow, Bai Feng's only fun was to practice archery with the Starfall Divine Bow, and this day he was bored but clicked on an attribute table.
