Not long after the twin ships sailed out, Peris arrived in the harbor with three thousand longbowmen, and Bai Feng ordered a hundred longbowmen to board the twin ships on the spot, while the other longbowmen began to build their own barracks on the outskirts of the harbor.
Since experiencing the embarrassing incident of the last time when there were too many troops and no barracks to be stationed, Bai Feng not only built new barracks for each legion outside the city of Rome, but also specially asked the Roman youth of the First Legion to teach the soldiers of all other legions how to build barracks.
Even the soldiers and longbowmen of the Doge's Guard were not spared, and all the soldiers of Rome were instructed by Bai Feng to learn how to build a military camp, and later Bai Feng issued each independent army with tools such as shovels for them to use in building their military camps.
With Bai Feng's previous series of careful arrangements, now each army of the Roman city can be pulled out to build a military camp independently, instead of only the soldiers of the Roman Youth Army building a military camp like the first army expedition.
Recently, there was no important thing on the side of the city of Rome, Bai Feng stayed here in the port for two more days, he took a double battleship to tour the scenery on the Cangluo River during the day, and practiced and rested in the barracks of the longbowmen at night.
In addition to Antio with his general's guard following behind Bai Feng, Peris also followed behind Bai Feng with his most elite fifty longbowmen, and as for the group of Cretan archers, their task was to teach each of the longbowmen to shoot accurately.
Two days passed in a flash, and at noon on the third day, the third double battleship finally sailed out of the ship in Bai Feng's expectation; after the three double battleships were assembled, Bai Feng personally ordered them to go north along the main stream of the Cangluo River and enter the left flank tributary of the Cangluo River for patrolling, and let them ensure that there was a double warship patrolling the left flank tributary of the Cangluo River every day.
Based on Bai Feng's understanding of the barbarian fleets crossing the Cangluo River, those small wooden boats that could barely cross the Cangluo River were just small sampans in front of the double-lined battleships in Roman City, and they could not threaten the double-lined warships in Rome City at all.
Especially under the premise that there are 100 longbowmen with an astonishing range on each twin battleship, all enemies who want to get close to the twin battleship will be subjected to devastating covering fire from a distance of 400 meters, even if the barbarian wooden ship is lucky enough to avoid the attack of the arrow rain, it is almost impossible not to capsize under the impact of the double battleship, this is the lethality of the double battleship to the barbarian wooden ship.
In fact, after Bai Feng assigned a hundred longbowmen to the twin battleships, these twin battleships also possessed extremely powerful ground attack power, as long as the twin battleships were within 100 meters of the north bank of the Cangluo River, the enemy within 300 meters of the shore would be covered by the arrows of the longbowmen, which was quite a terrifying statistic.
Seeing three twin ships full of three hundred longbowmen leave the harbor for the left flank tributary of the Cangluo River, Bai Feng left Peris with the remaining longbowmen to stay in the barracks, and he himself returned to Rome under the escort of Antio.
After returning to Rome City, Bai Feng didn't have any other important things to do for the time being, and he didn't even have anything to do; Bai Feng, who was idle, just used this free time to improve his strength, and now he was getting closer and closer to the senior swordsman.
At the critical juncture of the last war, Bai Feng was promoted to a ninth-level intermediate swordsman on the battlefield, as long as he was promoted to the intermediate swordsman Great Perfection, Bai Feng would really be only one step away from the high-level swordsman;
When he first lived in the Bai family, Bai Feng, who was quite concerned about cultivation, put a lot of effort into understanding the matter of cultivation, and then Bai Feng knew that a senior sword master was an important bottleneck for a cultivator's life, and whether he could be promoted to a senior sword master was really a very important thing.
If a cultivator can't advance to the realm of a high-level sword master before the age of forty, then it will be impossible for him to go one step further in his life, and whether or not you can advance to a high-level sword master before the age of thirty-five is the standard to measure whether you can advance to the level of a great sword master.
As for the senior sword masters before the age of thirty, they are all strong people who can at least become a high-level great sword master in the future, and all the current sword saints on the continent are all promoted to advanced sword masters before the age of twenty-five, and none of them are more than the age of twenty-five.
Of course, another data is also very important, that is, none of the sword saints in all the sword masters have been promoted to senior sword masters before the age of twenty; purely based on the age of Bai Feng of the Bai family, Bai Feng should be sixteen years old this year!
The sixteen-year-old ninth-level intermediate sword master, this is a genius that the Bai family has never produced in the history, and even few people in the entire continent can have such strength at this age, but Bai Feng does not feel that his strength is very strong.
Strength is always a relative thing, as the governor of Rome, Bai Feng has never regarded himself as a sixteen-year-old child, in fact, Bai Feng's mental age is far more than sixteen years old, not to mention that he has experienced so much in the Roman world.
The generals of Rome City have never regarded Bai Feng as an ordinary teenager, they always unconsciously regard Bai Feng as a high ruler, and those generals in Rome City are basically masters of the high Great Sword Master level, and even the generals of the Great Sword Master Great Perfection Realm are not a few, and the weak and negligible Gatus is also a senior sword master.
Even without mentioning these generals with special statuses, the general guards of Antio and Licinius are all heavy cavalry with the strength of high-level swordsmen, and the five hundred temple warriors under the command of Leng Gundam and Leng Gofei are all high-level swordsmen.
The Germanic berserkers and Spartan heavy infantry that Bai Feng has recently recruited all have the strength of high-level swordsmen, and the casters are slightly similar to the existence of intermediate magicians, and the battlefield ghosts have the combat power of high-level swordsmen.
It's never that Bai Feng is not strong enough, but that the strength of Rome City is too strong, or the high-end power is too terrifying, so that Bai Feng's own strength is simply not worth mentioning in Rome City;
After focusing all his energy on cultivation, Bai Feng began to impatiently try to practice the eighth form of the Twelve Techniques of the White Background, 'Qingshan Yin'; it turned out that what Yue'er said to Bai Feng last time was reasonable, and Bai Feng still couldn't control this eighth form after all.
After dozens of efforts but all failed, Bai Feng had no choice but to give up the practice of the eighth style sword technique and continue to master the first seven style sword skills;
