After winning the battle, Bai Feng did not leave the battlefield with Licinius's cavalry, but stopped on the spot to wait for reinforcements from the Tasia tribe, less than an hour away from the road-building army led by Gatus.

Before the road between the Tasya tribe and the Roman city was completed, the three groups of town militia in the Roman city also followed Gatus to build the road, plus the warriors from the Tasya tribe, this is all the people under Gatus who built the road.

The soldiers who drove the carriage away quickly brought the news of Bai Feng's danger to Gatus, and Gatus, who learned this information, didn't have time to think about it, so he led all the soldiers under his command to rush in the direction of Bai Feng.

Bai Feng had only been waiting on the edge of the battlefield for about half an hour, and the neatly formed town militia was the first to appear in his field of vision, followed by thousands of Tasya tribe warriors who were scattered and running.

Although the warriors of the Tasya tribe were still as unformed as ever, looking at their bodies running with all their might, Bai Feng couldn't help but nodded, these barbarian warriors of the Tasya tribe were really trustworthy.

"All the soldiers stay on guard, beware of the enemy!" When Gatus came to Bai Feng's side with his soldiers, he panted and ordered the soldiers to be on guard, while asking Bai Feng, "Governor, you are all right, are you?"

"Gatus, you're coming a little slower!" Bai Feng also patted Gatus's shoulder with a smile on his face, and then pointed to the corpse-strewn battlefield not far to his right, and said, "The enemy who attacked us has been defeated, and this is the price they pay." ”

"Shhh

Following the direction of Bai Feng's finger, Gatus also turned his eyes to the battlefield not far away, looking at the corpses of cavalrymen in green uniforms all over the ground, Gatus, who had been accustomed to fighting since he was a child, inevitably gasped.

"Governor, were all the corpses of so many enemies killed by less than two hundred cavalry under General Licinius?" Gatus, who was shocked by the scene on the battlefield in front of him, couldn't help but say the disbelief in his heart.

However, after saying it, Gatus regretted it, after all, Li Sini was a master at the level of a great swordsman, and he was the most important general under Bai Feng's command, and what he said just now was really suspicious, which was not Gatus's original intention.

"General Licinius, I'm not questioning the combat effectiveness of the cavalry under your command, it's just that these tribes of green-clothed cavalry are not comparable to our Tasya tribe, and I am really shocked by the achievements of your cavalry!"

After realizing that what he said was wrong, Gatus immediately explained the reason for his slip of the tongue to Licini behind Bai Feng; Licini was not a stingy person, he already liked Gatus with a straightforward personality like himself, so he naturally wouldn't mind it.

"Commander Gatus, you also underestimate me Licinius, right?" Licinius didn't think much about this matter, but Gatus's explanation gave Licinius a chance to blackmail him, so he seized the opportunity and pretended to be angry:

"I, Licinius, am such a stingy person? I didn't expect you to know nothing about me after we've been together for so long, and don't say anything else, and you'll pay for my drinks for the next month!"

"This, General Licinius, don't worry, I will definitely invite you to drink good wine every day!" Licinius's joking words made Gatus slightly embarrassed, because he served as a mercenary commander in the city of Rome but had no military salary, where could he afford to invite Licinius to drink?

Even so, he gritted his teeth and agreed, after all, he was also the eldest son of the leader of the Tasya tribe, and after the Tasya tribe began to trade with the city of Rome, he could still get this money from his father.

Looking at Gatus's resolute look, Bai Feng thought a little and figured out the reason, but Bai Feng himself was negligent in this regard;

In fact, with the current economic situation of Rome City, the military salary of 500 mercenary soldiers is still nothing, not to mention that the physical gold and silver are not the same as the treasury funds of Roman City, Bai Feng is fully capable of paying Gatus and his soldiers.

The last time he carved a silver statue for the Tasia tribe, it was the silver that Bai Feng took from the warehouse of the city of Rome, and according to Yue'er's story, Bai Feng knew that the city of Rome could also produce about 50,000 silver coins of silver and 5,000 gold coins of gold every month.

According to Bai Feng's understanding, this should be a function added by the makers of this system so that the owners of the city of Rome do not have to worry about the ordinary currency of the secular world, and in any case, this function of the city of Rome is indeed quite useful to Bai Feng.

In the previous three months, the storehouses of Rome had accumulated silver to mint 150,000 silver coins and 15,000 gold coins, and in order to carve twelve silver statues, Bai Feng had consumed all the silver in the storehouses, but the gold was still there.

No matter how the Tasya tribe is a tribe in the barbarian world, they still inevitably use gold and silver currency in the use of currency, which is also a necessary currency for trade between the Roman city and the Tasya tribe, and Bai Feng can use these gold and silver coins to issue military salaries.

"Gatus, after the end of this road construction mission, each of the five hundred soldiers under your command will receive three silver coins per month as military salaries. Speaking of this, Bai Feng deliberately hung Gatus's appetite, and only after Gatus looked at him with expectant eyes, Bai Feng said with a smile:

"And you, Commander Gatus, take a gold coin every month as your military salary! If you do more meritorious deeds for the city of Rome in the future, I will increase your military salary. ”

"Thank you, Governor, Gatus will swear allegiance to the city of Rome, to the Governor!"

The overjoyed Gatus did not hide the excitement in his heart, and he once again turned his gratitude to Bai Feng into a promise, and Bai Feng, who did not trust the promises of others, was sure of the promises of the barbarian warriors.

"Let the warriors of your Tasya tribe clean up the battlefield immediately, all the weapons and equipment that can be used belong to your Tasya tribe, and we will go to your tribe's camp after cleaning the battlefield." After helping Gatus, who was kneeling on one knee, to his feet, Bai Feng gave him a direct order, asking Gatus to hurry up and clean up the battlefield strewn with corpses here.
