One God says to man, "I have hurt you so I can heal you, and I love you so I punish you." ”

– Rabindranath Tagore (Indian poet, philosopher, and Indian nationalist)

After the last day of March, he returned to the White Peak of Rome at night and recruited a new system general and two special troops, this time, the system general he recruited was no longer the commander of the tragic dead, but the high-ranking general of the Roman Empire, Quintus!

The general Quintus of the Scipio family, although he was neither as capable as his father Scipio the Elder, nor as good as his younger brother Scipio the Younger, was also a general who could take charge of his own affairs, and commanded the army much better than Licinius and Antio.

Far away in the desolate land of Rome, now that the commander Luquis is in charge, the value of Quintus has naturally become dispensable;

The total number of generals summoned from the Temple of Apollo was only eleven, and among them, Vipsani, who was good at political affairs, was the de facto consul of the city of Rome, and was not involved in military affairs, so he was no longer considered a general in the army.

Lucas, who had betrayed Bai Feng and the Augustus family, if it weren't for the fact that his brother Luquis was Bai Feng's confidant, even if he was a system general who came out of the Great Temple of Apollo, Bai Feng would not forgive him for his betrayal, let alone use him.

Even with the double protection of Lucas and the Temple of Apollo, Bai Feng, who was difficult to accept Lucas in his heart, still did not entrust Lucas with important tasks, even if he was Luques's assistant in charge of the Roman army, he did not even have the power to mobilize a single soldier.

Hades, the Supreme Commander of the Former Tragic Song Dead Warriors summoned last time, is now the supreme leader of the Netting Organization under Bai Feng's command; according to Bai Feng's idea, when the time is right in the future, Hades will still be transferred to this world as the Supreme Commander.

Among the remaining generals, Licinius, Vermyna, Baans, and Hartmann were the commanders of the first, second, third, and fourth Roman legions, respectively;

Antio, who was once known as the two great generals of the empire along with Licinius, was the commander of the Heavy Hammer Legion, a heavy cavalry unit formed on the basis of barbarian warriors, and Luculus, who served as the commander of Bai Feng's personal guards, was the only system general who followed Bai Feng's side.

The reason why Bai Feng has not reused and promoted Luculus is because Luculus really has no record in the empire, and on the other hand, because Luculus himself has limited ability and is difficult to take on the heavy responsibility of being alone.

Otherwise, if Bai Feng had the intention to promote Luculus as a senior general of the empire, he only needed to give Luculus a few more opportunities to lead the army to meet the enemy, and the problem of Luculus's lack of military achievements in promoting to senior general of the empire would naturally be solved.

Assassis, Upadama, Athos, Aetius, Cabitus, and others who grew up on their own were not promoted in this way? Even the newly promoted system general Agis, who only won one battle to defend the bridge, could be promoted to the rank of lieutenant general of the Lancer.

At this moment, what Bai Feng needs is not a general like Luculus who has limited ability at the level of a legion commander, but a commander and general like Luquis who can command an army all the way for Bai Feng; there is no doubt that Quintus, who is only slightly inferior to Luquis, is such a general!

The joy of adding a new general under his command only lasted for about three minutes, and the two teams of special troops that were summoned immediately after him turned Bai Feng's original joy into a wry smile, because what was summoned was actually two teams of silver shield infantry from the Seleucid Empire.

Speaking of the silver shield infantry of the Seleucid Empire, Bai Feng had to admit that this kind of elite infantry formed by imitating the Roman legionary infantry, whether it was its own combat effectiveness or the sophistication of weapons and equipment, was no worse than the genuine Roman legionary infantry, and even surpassed!

But the crux of the matter is that the city of Rome itself can recruit Roman legionnaires on a large scale, so why waste its mind on counterfeit silver-shielded infantry?

Bai Feng, who was powerless to complain, was full of disappointment, but still decided to take these two teams of Silver Shield Infantry to the Heavenly Dragon Empire;

When Bai Feng, who didn't care, saw two teams of silver shield infantry appear in front of him, his originally listless eyes instantly straightened, and Bai Feng, who seemed to feel incredible, showed a look of surprise on his face in the next second.

Watching the two teams of silver legionnaire infantry wearing silver legionnaire armor walking towards their silver shield infantry, Bai Feng, who had thought about it before, suddenly reacted: the Roman legionary infantry imitated by the silver shield infantry was not the Roman youth army or the Roman heavy infantry, but the real Roman legionary infantry!

What is the Roman legionary infantry? It was the Roman faction Marius Army in the Roman Total War, which was used to replace the Roman Youth Army, the Roman heavy infantry, and the Roman elite infantry.

Anyone who has played the total war of Rome or read Roman history knows that the key to Rome's transition from a republic to an empire was the Marian reform, and the Roman army before the Marian reform was not so much the army of the state as the army formed spontaneously by the Roman citizens.

The division of Roman light infantry, Roman youth army, Roman heavy infantry, and Roman elite infantry is actually a manifestation of the gap between the rich and the poor of Roman citizens; the Roman army formed on this basis is limited in combat effectiveness, no matter how strong it is.

After the reform of Marius's army, the Roman legionary infantry using unified weapons and equipment served as the absolute main force, and such a well-equipped elite standing army was the key to the establishment of the Roman territory and the establishment of the Roman Empire!

Bai Feng didn't know when the systematic city of Rome would be able to start the Marian military reform, but Bai Feng knew that the Roman city, which was still in the city stage, would take a long time to advance to the big city stage, and the Marian military reform would probably be opened by a giant city.

This means that in the past one or two years, Bai Feng has not opened the possibility of the Marius military reform in the Roman city, so the Roman legionary infantry that can only be recruited after the Marius military reform is also unlikely to appear in the battle sequence of the Roman city in the past one or two years.

In this way, the Silver Shield Infantry, which was imitated from the Roman Legionnaires, could almost be regarded as the only 'Roman Legionnaire Infantry' available under Bai Feng's command in the next two years;

It just so happened that the Spartan heavy infantry that originally stayed by Bai Feng's side to serve as a personal guard had all been sent by Bai Feng to garrison the three bridges on the Xingyue River, and these two newly summoned silver shield infantry directly replaced the Spartan heavy infantry and became Bai Feng's personal guards.

Quintus, who had just been summoned, was temporarily kept by Bai Feng's side, because Bai Feng knew that in order for Quintus to truly become the only general under his command, he also needed to obtain the approval of those legion commanders who actually commanded the armies.
