Commander of the Bronno Legion (a low-ranking great swordsman, extremely loyal)

Captain of the Gartus Army (Inferior Great Swordsman, Diehard, Never Betrayal)

Legion Commander of Upton (Inferior Great Swordsman, Light Loyal)

Captain of Palmer (Inferior Great Swordsman, Heavy Loyalty)

Commander of the Isidor Legion (Inferior Great Swordsman, Heavy Loyalty)

Captain of the Auston Legion (Inferior Great Swordsman, Heavy Loyalty)

Captain Wendell (Junior Great Swordsman, Diehard, Never Betrayal)

Captain of the Simpsons (Junior Great Swordsman, Diehard, Never Betray)

In fact, Bai Feng's biggest gain from this month's efforts was not to change the loyalty of the captains of the main legions, but to turn Wendell and Simpson, the captains of the Tuntian Legion, into his new die-hard generals.

Wendell and Simpson had already reached an extreme loyalty second only to diehards when they were loyal to Bai Feng before, and Bai Feng also took into account their strength factors when strengthening and improving their loyalty, and helped them improve their strength.

The cost of the two energy light balls was enough to make Bai Feng feel distressed, but the increase in the two diehard generals and the increase in their strength made Bai Feng feel that such a sacrifice was worth it;

All the measures that can be taken, Bai Feng has done his best to take this month, and the problem of increasing the loyalty of the legion commanders can only be slowly resolved in the future.

With the passing of last month and the advent of a new month, Bai Feng has a lot of new things to be busy, of course, before doing these things, Bai Feng still has to look at the financial report of the city of Rome last month and the current status of the properties of the city of Rome.

April Financial Report (April 917 AH)

Agriculture: income 2400 gold, expenditure 0

Mining: income 350 gold, expenditure 0

Trade: income 37,950 gold, expenses 0

Taxes: 7,450 gold in income, 3,900 gold in expenses (100 gold each for the tax officer, civil protection officer, and patrol guard)

Entertainment: 0 payouts

Diplomacy: 0 income, 0 expenditure

Corruption: 0 income, 794 gold expenditures

Last month's total: income 48,150 gold, expenditure 103,850 gold

Last month's surplus: 55,700 gold was disbursed

Total amount of the treasury at the beginning of the month: 112,130 gold

Current Treasury: 56,430 gold

The data in the city's financial report last month shows that Bai Feng's decision to reduce the basic tax rate of Rome is very correct, and even if Bai Feng lowers the basic tax rate of Rome, the city's monthly income still maintains a steady growth trend.

After the big stone in his heart was put down, Bai Feng, who was secretly relieved, also closed the financial report, and approached him to open the attribute table of Rome City to check the latest changes in the attributes of Rome City.

Rome City (City)

Governor: White Peak

Income: 48150 gold/month

Population: 77,945 (the temple adds 2,000 people per month)

Social Security: +210%

Population growth: +7%/month

Tax Rate: Low tax rate

Treasury: 56,430 gold

Towns: Tasia (98,943 people, rich), Greno (86,995 people, rich), Rai town (97,112 people, normal), Hobulo town (11,234 people, normal), Vasco town (78,939 people, normal), Esini town (13,995 people, rich)

Existing buildings: Doge's Residence, Stone Wall, Temple of Apollo, Urban Barracks, Market, Public Farm, Deep Cave Mine, Cavalry Stables, Armor Shop, Stone Paving, Shooting Range, Sewer, Public Baths, Shipbuilding Workshop

Under construction: Sifang Avenue

Buildable buildings: crop rotations, universities, arenas

According to the rules of the Roman Total War game, the public baths should be the replacement of the sewage canals, but the data in the attribute table of the Roman city subvert Bai Feng's cognition, and the public baths and sewage canals have become urban buildings that coexist.

In fact, if you think about it, how can a city with a large population lack such a key sanitary building as a sewer? Therefore, the coexistence of public baths and sewers seems more reasonable.

The most significant change in the statistics of the city of Rome is the change in the population, which was only 60,000 last month, but this month it has increased to nearly 80,000, an increase of more than 10,000!

The rapid increase in population will bring new pressure to Vipsani, who is in charge of handling the affairs of the city of Rome, and it will also bring more places to Bai Feng, who is in dire need of systematic army recruitment slots!

Licinius's First Legion and Antio's Second Legion were the most important core legions in the city of Rome, and they were also the key legions that Baifeng had to ensure their combat effectiveness, and this large increase in population would bring new changes to the replenishment of these two legions.

According to the expansion plan of Bai Feng's core legions, the legions of Licinius and Antio only needed to have two full wings and cavalry units to form a combat force, and at this time, the two legions still lacked a total of sixteen Roman heavy infantry and fourteen Roman auxiliary cavalry to complete this expansion goal.

Each Roman heavy infantry consisted of one hundred and sixty-one Roman warriors, and the total strength of sixteen Roman heavy infantry was two thousand five hundred and seventy-six soldiers, an acceptable number of additional troops given the total population of the city of Rome at present.

Therefore, in the following month, Bai Feng first determined that the type of recruitment was these sixteen teams of Roman heavy infantry, and each team recruited Roman heavy infantry with a price of up to 490 gold, which was much more cost-effective than the Roman Youth Army.

Class: Roman heavy infantry

Number of people: 161

Experience: Level 0

Recruitment/Maintenance Cost: 490g/170g

Armament: short sword, shield, javelin

Features: Throws javelins before charging, can dig tunnels

The attributes of the troops are almost identical to those of the Roman Youth Army, making it difficult for those who do not understand the strength of the Roman heavy infantry, and only those who have actually used the Roman heavy infantry will understand how much stronger the Roman heavy infantry is than the Roman Youth Army.

It is no exaggeration to say that a Roman heavy infantry could have annihilated a Roman youth army with less than 30 percent of its own losses, and the proportion of these casualties would increase further as the number of troops increased.

Before the Roman heavy infantry could not be recruited, the Roman youth army was the main force of the Roman army in the early stage, and when the Roman heavy infantry could be recruited, the Roman heavy infantry was the absolute main force of the Roman army, and no other branch of the army could replace the mainstay!
