"Chapter 15: The Fifth Legion"
Words have incredible power. They bring the greatest happiness and the deepest disappointment www.biquge.info they can pass knowledge from the teacher to the student, and words enable the speaker to sway his audience and force decisions on their behalf. Words arouse the strongest emotions and promote all human actions. Don't laugh at the use of words in psychotherapy.
- Sigmund Freud (Austrian Jewish psychologist, psychiatrist, founder of the psychoanalytic school)
On the day of the construction of the seven new brigades, the 7th Wing was again launched, and the 1st Brigade of Bonella walked at the forefront of the army with a new attitude and high fighting spirit, followed by the newly formed 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th Brigades.
Behind the 10th Brigade was Carroll's 2nd Brigade, and using the 1st Brigade and the 2nd Brigade to connect the five newly established standing brigades one after the other was the only way for Bai Feng to avoid the soldiers of the newly established brigade from falling behind.
Nishizawa's 1st Reserve Brigade and Maurice's 2nd Reserve Brigade, followed by Darren's 3rd Brigade and Lennon's 4th Brigade respectively, were not intended to prevent the officers of the Reserve Brigade from being left behind, but to prevent the unruly bandits from escaping.
Cabaye's cavalry brigade, also under Bai Feng's orders, cruised on the left and right flanks of the two reserve brigades; if there were really any blind reserve brigade officers and soldiers who wanted to take the opportunity to escape, the cavalry of the cavalry brigade had the right to execute the deserters who tried to flee on the spot!
Of the 1,448 captured robbers, only 1,000 were assigned to the two reserve brigades, and only 78 were added to the other detachments, while the remaining 370 robbers were temporarily assigned to Hans's fifth brigade.
With these robbers who can be added to the reserve brigade at any time, Bai Feng doesn't care how many soldiers of the reserve brigade intend to escape, after all, the other party is forced to join the seventh wing, if they don't want to escape, then there will be ghosts.
It turned out that on the first day of the march, twenty soldiers of the reserve brigade intended to escape and put into action, and when the pursuing cavalry killed the twenty outnumbered deserters on the spot, Bai Feng added twenty robbers to the reserve brigade.
The butcher's knives of the cavalry and the blood of the escapees completely cut off the idea of escape to the soldiers of the reserve brigade who were ready to stir in their hearts, and they had no choice but to stay in the reserve brigade of the seventh wing in peace.
The daytime march was the beginning of the Seventh Wing's pursuit of the army, and the nighttime camp was the beginning of the new brigade's training of the new battle formation; in order to familiarize the officers and men of the new brigade with the new battle formation as soon as possible, the three hours before going to bed became their training time.
The officers and men of the five new brigades were taught in their drills by the officers of the four veteran brigades, for the four Roman youth corps of the fifth brigade had been given the task of supervising the two reserve brigades at night.
After making detailed arrangements for the various affairs in the wing, Bai Feng left the barracks under the protection of Bai Yi and Bai Er, and tomorrow was the new July, so Bai Feng wanted to find a secluded place for a while and use the teleportation array in the Bai Ling Ring to return to Rome City.
The three of them actually found a relatively secluded mountain cliff, and then Bai Yi and Bai Er protected Bai Feng's side one left and one right; under the bright moonlight, Bai Feng urged the teleportation array in the Bai Ling Ring, and quickly walked into the white light.
He immediately rushed from the governor's palace to the warehouse area, and took 5,500 sets of weapons and equipment of the Roman youth army and 2,000 sets of weapons and equipment of the Roman heavy infantry from the warehouses where a large number of weapons and equipment were stored.
The former is the product of the normal casting of the armor shop, and the latter is the result of Bai Feng's special instructions for the armor shop; after taking these two types of weapons and equipment, Bai Feng took away 6,500 sets of weapons and equipment used by well-preserved barbarian warriors in another warehouse.
It just so happened that this month, Bai Feng could go to the Great Temple of Apollo to summon two teams of random special troops, so he went to the Great Temple of Apollo and asked the priests in the Great Temple to help him make random summons, but the result was to summon two teams of first-level Cretan archers.
Among the Roman city army with a large number of longbowmen, the Cretan archers, whose strength was only one level, were definitely the most worthless special troops, and after careful consideration, Bai Feng decided to bring all three teams of Cretan archers in Rome with him.
With three teams of Cretan archers ready to go, Bai Feng hurriedly left the city of Rome, and by the time Bai Feng and the three returned to the barracks from the cliff, it was already after midnight, and the new month had already arrived.

Last month's 30 recruitment slots in Rome were all used by Bai Feng to recruit a small number of shadow killers, and this month's recruitment slots were used by Bai Feng to recruit 16 teams of Roman heavy infantry (490 gold) and 14 teams of Roman youth army (440 gold).
The recruitment cost of 14,000 gold was nothing in the eyes of Bai Feng, who had more than 600,000 treasury funds, and Bai Feng's purpose in recruiting these Roman heavy infantry and Roman youth army was to help Luquis form the Fifth Legion directly under him.
Luquis, who was the supreme military commander of the city of Rome, was supported by Licinius, Antio, Vimina, Baas, Hartmann, Leonidas, and Peris, but it was always inappropriate not to have his own direct troops.
The Fifth Legion, the soon-to-be-formed Roman legion, is the direct force that Bai Feng prepared for Luquis, not to mention, as long as the food and system of Rome City are available for recruitment, constantly recruiting Roman troops is the way to strengthen the Roman City.

In the attribute table of the city of Rome, which changes every month, the population is getting bigger and bigger, and the income is getting higher and higher, as if telling the growing strength of the city of Rome, which makes Bai Feng, who has developed the city of Rome with his own hands, feel deeply pleased every time he sees this attribute table.
The Bai family is not Bai Feng's root after all, even if the elders and brothers and sisters of the Bai family have been regarded by Bai Feng as their closest relatives, but Bai Feng's roots will always be in Rome City, where it really belongs to Bai Feng's home!
