"Chapter 52: Sending Troops Again"
He knew that the world would only get more and more chaotic, and that the noise would eventually be so loud that it would cover all the signals in his dwelling, but he believed that by restraining his every movement, he would reduce some of the evils that slowly disintegrated the world.

- Paolo Giordano (famous Italian writer)
The Tiger Legion and the Doge's Guard, which had completed special training, became the two most powerful armies in Rome at this time, and the core legions of Licinius and Antio would not be sent out of Rome by Bai Feng in a short period of time due to a serious shortage of personnel.
In addition, Vipsani had previously reported the lack of food in Rome to Bai Feng in detail, and these internal objective factors determined that Bai Feng could not really send troops to suppress Nabazani and Assamese's imminent move.
However, the turmoil within the Aceni Kingdom was a major event that Bai Feng had to intervene in, and in desperation, Bai Feng had no better way to oppress Nabazani and Assam through the threat of war.
Bazel's Tigers and Perris's Governor's Guard, with a total strength of 21,000 men, were far superior to those of Nabazani and Assam after special training in the urban barracks and shooting ranges.
Even if the alliance between Nabazani and Assam is bound to have a considerable number of hidden forces, it is unlikely to change the huge gap in the overall combat strength of the two sides, not to mention that Joshuaer's army of 20,000 is still an ally in Rome.
According to Bai Feng's prediction, as long as the more than 20,000 elite soldiers of the Roman city were outside the barracks of the Nabazani and Assam armies, and Nabazani and Assam, who were accustomed to protecting their lives, would make a wise choice.
From the time of the Acenian kingdom's civil strife to Francis's rebellion and surrender to Queen Boudicca, Nabazani and Assam, two of the four great generals of the Aceni kingdom, proved their temperament with living examples.
If they were really the kind of heroic martyrs who served the country and the people, then they would not have survived the chaotic situation of the Essini Kingdom to this day;
Although they now have the intention of seeking independence, it is only their desire for power that arises without outside pressure, and when it comes time to choose, Nabazani and Assam will never have the courage to raise an army to rebel.
Except for the two core figures of Nabazani and Assam, the nobles of the Essini Kingdom who followed the other two people were nothing more than opportunistic by supporting the alliance between the two, otherwise, how could any nobles tell Queen Boudicca?
This undisciplined behavior of betting on both ends was commonplace in the eyes of the aristocracy, and even the relatively upright barbarian aristocracy could not change some of the inherent limitations of the aristocracy.
Determined to solve the problem by means of this military threat, Bai Feng gave Bazel and Peris an order to rearm for battle, in fact, the food that Bai Feng carried this time was only enough for the soldiers of these two legions for half a month.
This also means that if Bai Feng can't completely solve the problem of Nabazani and Assam's intention to rebel within half a month of sending troops, the army of Rome will retreat to Rome due to lack of food.
Once this worst result really happens, Bai Feng's military plan to attack the Werther tribe will be completely abandoned, and after the grain harvest in the first half of the year in the city of Rome is up, a war within the forces of the city of Rome will be inevitable.
It is absolutely impossible for White Peak and the city of Rome to accept the independent demands of Nabazani and Assam, and Nabazani and Assam who come out on top will definitely gain the support of the nobles of the Essini Kingdom, which will inevitably lead to a war between the city of Rome and the Essini Kingdom.
In order to avoid the worst as much as possible, on the first day of the new month, Bai Feng issued an order to reorganize the army for battle, and the second day became the day when the Tiger Legion and the Doge's Guard sent troops to the Aceni Kingdom.
Before officially leading the army to the Aceni Kingdom, Bai Feng not only had to arrange the special training of the Dragon Legion and the naval longbowmen, but also make proper arrangements for the recruitment of troops and the construction of new buildings in the city of Rome in the coming month.
Because of the limited number of troops available for recruitment in Roman City, it is impossible for Bai Feng to recruit a large-scale system army to supplement the core legion this month, so the objects he can recruit are the navy's warships and the three special arms.
After a little thought, Bai Feng decided on this month's recruitment plan, twenty three-column warships and ten shadow killers became the recruitment targets of Roman City, which instantly cost Bai Feng 16,400 gold treasury funds.
The 16,400 gold spent on recruiting troops, plus the 19,000 gold spent on special training, and the 2,400 gold needed to build the crop rotation to be built, in the blink of an eye, the remaining 67,200 gold in the treasury of Rome was reduced to less than half of the 29,400 gold.
Previously, Bai Feng had realized the value of the treasury funds in the future foreign wars of the city of Rome, and how to store more treasury funds for backup had also become the top priority of the city of Rome;
For example, a steady stream of special training of the existing field legions in the city of Rome, the recruitment of more systematic troops and special troops, the construction of new buildings, and a series of other things are all important ways to enhance the strength of the city of Rome, and they are also the objects that Bai Feng must invest in the treasury.
Fortunately, the city of Rome now does not need much investment in the treasury, at least not every month, and many of the treasury funds are one-time, only one month's investment can be permanently avoided.
For example, the city of Rome does not have many system buildings, the special training costs of each legion, and the recruitment costs of the system army and troops; in fact, the recruited system army and special troops need to pay a maintenance fee on a regular basis.
However, their maintenance costs were paid on an annual basis, which virtually minimized the financial crisis of the city of Rome, and their recruitment and maintenance costs were nothing compared to the combat effectiveness of the systematic armies and special arms.
In just one day, Bai Feng took care of all the things that needed to be dealt with in the city of Rome, and the next morning, he led his personal guard battalion, the Tiger Legion, and the Doge's Guard to embark on the journey to the Kingdom of Acenic.
This is the third time that Rome has crossed the Cangluo River to march eastward, the first time that Rome has sent troops to the east bank of the Cangluo River to resist Francis's attack, and the second time that Rome has taken the initiative to attack the Iceni Kingdom under the rule of Francis.
The first two times of crossing the river ended with the complete victory of the strong Roman army; this time, whether the Roman army crossed the river again and sent troops to maintain the first two consecutive victories depends on whether Bai Feng's political skills are skillful!
