"Of the three, I still think the town barracks are more valuable. After thinking about it for a while, Yue'er gave her own suggestion, and seeing that Bai Feng didn't understand very well, Yue'er explained specifically:
"If you build a training ground, the only class that can be recruited is the Roman light infantry, which is a pure ranged class with little melee ability, and it can't meet the needs of our Roman city at all.
The stables were only superior to the training ground in terms of the types of troops that could be recruited, and the active role of the Roman light cavalry was in mobile warfare, and their combat effectiveness in frontal combat was still inferior to that of the youth army; as for the mastiff, its essence was a consumable branch.
In this Roman city's recruitment system, it takes a long time for the mastiff to be replenished after the mastiff is consumed, and after a one-time battle, it takes at least ten days to recover all the mastiffs of the mastiff army, which will greatly limit their potential.
So, on the whole, the most advantageous thing for our city of Rome is the town barracks where we can recruit young soldiers, and as long as we hurry up to build town barracks after we have built the blacksmith shop, we can quickly form a large army with the youth army as the main force.
With the existing population of more than 10,000 in our Roman city, the army that can be recruited in our Roman city will be as high as 1,500 people; in addition to the three groups of town militia, our Roman city can completely recruit six new groups of young troops, and these are the backbone of our Roman city. ”
When Yue'er suggested that Bai Feng build a town barracks, the reason why Bai Feng showed an expression of incomprehension was that he was completely shocked by the incident of the blacksmith shop just now;
Although the value of the real-life blacksmith far exceeds the value of the blacksmith in the game, the other buildings still maintain the characteristics of the game in terms of function, which also allows Bai Feng to feel free to boldly say what he thinks.
"In fact, it is more important to build the town barracks first, and the four groups of young soldiers that the city of Rome had at the beginning of its establishment are definitely one of the most powerful troops in our hands, but how to replenish these young soldiers after they are damaged is also a problem.
As long as we build a town barracks, we will be able to replenish the young soldiers quickly after they are wounded, and we can recruit more young soldiers, and the city of Rome will soon have a main army of young soldiers!"
In addition to the fact that the matter of the blacksmith shop was beyond Bai Feng's expectations, the decision to build the town barracks was still in Bai Feng's plan, and after discussing with Yue'er how to build the building, Bai Feng was going to start thinking of ways to improve the strength of Roman City as much as possible.
The current army of the city of Rome is mainly composed of four parts, the first of which is the army recruited by the city itself, which is currently composed of four teams of first-class experienced young soldiers and three inexperienced town militia soldiers.
The second part is the special army summoned by the Temple of Apollo, which is currently composed of a team of experienced Cretan archers and a team of Parthian archers with first level experience, and the third part of the army is also provided by the Temple of Apollo, which is the three hundred temple warriors who played a decisive role in the previous attack of the Tasyas.
These three hundred temple warriors with the strength of high-level swordsmen, if their combat power is calculated by converting them to the experience of the Roman City army, it is three hundred warriors with fourth-level experience, and their combat power is absolutely terrifying!
The fourth part is the mercenary army from the barbarian tribes, which is currently composed of 500 mercenary warriors from the Tasya tribe, but with the departure of Gatus and Licinius, Bai Feng believes that the mercenary force in Rome will soon expand by leaps and bounds, and Bai Feng's highest expectation for this is 5,000 warriors!
Among these four parts of the army, the three hundred temple warriors of the Temple of Apollo can be regarded as the high-end combat power of the Roman city, plus the forty-four heavy cavalry of the general's guard under Licinius, they are all powerful warriors with the strength of high-level swordsmen.
As for the top combat power of Rome City, it is a group of generals composed of four people, including Licinius, Leng Gundam, Leng Gaofei, and Gatus, the first three are all masters with the strength of the Great Sword Master, and Gatus can be regarded as a general with extremely rich combat experience.
Bai Feng, who only has the strength of an intermediate swordsman, is not a master at all in the upcoming war, Bai Sheng's main task is to protect Bai Feng, and naturally he cannot be regarded as a general;
In this important period when Rome City urgently needs to improve its strength, it is almost impossible to improve the top combat power of Rome City, and the plan to increase the number of mercenaries Bai Feng has already been implemented, and the recruitment of Rome's own army must wait for the construction of the town barracks.
After thinking about it, Bai Feng helplessly found that he had no good way to quickly improve the strength of Rome City, and he couldn't even slightly improve the strength of Rome City, and Bai Feng, who realized the cruelty of reality, had to give up the countless thoughts in his heart.
Since it was difficult to improve the strength of Roman City for a while, Bai Feng put all his energy into the cultivation of improving his strength; after sending the Parthian archers to patrol day and night within a radius of ten miles from Roman City, Bai Feng began his own crazy cultivation, and this time the sparring was naturally a powerful Yue'er.
Since the last time he raised his spiritual power realm to a two-level intermediate sword master, Bai Feng has been busy with various affairs in Rome City, until now Bai Feng's spiritual power realm has not improved in the slightest; looking at the silver spiritual power source the size of a pigeon's egg in his dantian and the two silver spiritual power beads surrounding the spiritual power source, Bai Feng's heart is also anxious!
Bai Feng had already cultivated to the seventh form of the twelve-trick sword technique on a white background, which was already the highest level sword technique that Bai Feng could cultivate before he was promoted to a senior sword master; if it weren't for Yue'er's careful training, Bai Feng would not have been able to practice even the sixth form very proficiently.
Even after barely cultivating to the seventh form, Yue'er clearly told Bai Feng that it was impossible for him to continue to cultivate higher-level sword skills before he was promoted to a high-level sword master, because without the spiritual power of a high-level sword master to support him, Bai Feng couldn't even perform higher-level sword skills, so how could he be proficient?
There was no hope of learning higher-level sword skills in a short period of time, and the only way Bai Feng could improve his strength was to work hard to cultivate spiritual power, so for the next period of time, Bai Feng lived a life of practicing sword skills desperately during the day and cultivating spiritual power desperately at night.
