When Bai Feng raised his strength to the realm of an intermediate sword master, only half of the construction time of the military camp had passed, and just as Bai Feng was more active in cultivating, the young soldiers on patrol suddenly discovered that there were cavalry haunting the city of Rome.
Although the number of cavalry that appeared in this group was not only a dozen or so, their appearance attracted Bai Feng's great attention, because Bai Feng knew that these cavalry must be from the barbarian forces not far away, and after they discovered the existence of Roman City, they would inevitably bring this information back to their tribe, which was not good news for Roman City.
Before the first level of military camps was built, the city of Rome could not recruit troops other than the peasants, and the poor combat effectiveness and rudimentary weapons and equipment of the peasants were not worth recruiting at all, but would have caused the people of Rome to die in vain.
As for the four teams of young men and one team of Cretan archers in Rome City, they only add up to nine hundred, and Bai Feng did not have the confidence to use nine hundred people to block the invasion of a large number of barbarian troops;
Binglan is also the high priest of the Apollo Temple, and there are not four black-armored warriors guarding the door in the Apollo Temple where she is, and even Yue'er said that these four black-armored warriors have at least the strength of the Great Swordsman, which is not weak.
After a person came straight to the Apollo Temple, this time looking at the black-armored warriors guarding the door of the Apollo Temple with a solemn face, Bai Feng's heart not only did not have a feeling of dissatisfaction, but was full of good feelings towards them, and they were all majestic real warriors!
As the governor, Bai Feng wanted to enter the temple, naturally he would not be stopped by the black-armored warriors, and after coming to the main hall of the temple, Bai Feng found that Bing Lan happened to be in the main hall with his eyes closed, so Bai Feng also walked to Bing Lan's side and went straight to the point:
"High Priest Binglan, our youth army patrol outside the city has found traces of the barbarian cavalry, if nothing else, the barbarian tribes here have discovered the existence of the city of Rome, and soon those barbarians will come with a large army to attack our city of Rome.
With the strength of our Roman City, it is simply not enough to withstand the attack of a large barbarian army, can you lend me the four black-armored warriors outside the temple for a few days for the time being, and I will definitely return them to you as soon as I am sure that there is no threat to Roman City. ”
With Bai Feng's opening, Bing Lan, who was still with his eyes closed, also opened his eyes, although Bing Lan always appeared in front of Bai Feng with a holy attitude, Bai Feng always felt that there were other things hidden under Bing Lan's holiness.
However, this is just Bai Feng's intuition, and there is no evidence to base it on; after opening her eyes, Bing Lan thought about Bai Feng's words for a while, then stood up and walked towards the backyard of the temple, and said to Bai Feng:
"I can lend you the Templars, but not the four Templars guarding the door, but the real Templars. ”
Bing Lan said this, Bai Feng naturally wouldn't be stupid to ask why it wasn't the four temple warriors at the entrance of the temple; after following Bing Lan to the backyard of the temple hall, Bai Feng looked at the dense temple warriors in front of him and was directly confused.
However, Bing Lan still pointed at the black-armored warriors in the backyard with the scepter in her hand with a blank face, and explained to Bai Feng:
"Your Excellency the Governor, this is the most elite of our Apollo Temple's three hundred Temple Warriors, each of them has the strength of a high-level swordsman, and their two commanders have the strength of a great swordsman, this is all the strength of our Apollo Temple. ”
As if sensing Bai Feng's disbelief, Bing Lan added another sentence.
"With the current size of our Apollo Temple, this is already the maximum strength we can have, and when our Apollo Temple is upgraded to the Apollo Temple, our strength will be further enhanced, and at that time there will be more Temple warriors at the disposal of His Excellency the Governor. ”
Bing Lan ignored herself before, and even went toe-for-tat with herself, why is it that in only ten days, Bing Lan seems to have changed as if she has changed a person; Bai Feng, who was puzzled, did not have the habit of hiding problems in his heart, so he asked directly to Bing Lan:
"High Priest Binglan, this, why are you helping me so much? I originally came to borrow four temple warriors, why did you lend me all three hundred temple warriors?"
Faced with Bai Feng's question, Bing Lan shook her head helplessly, and then showed an undeniable wry smile, and then she explained to Bai Feng in her soft voice:
"Your Excellency, you still do not understand the relationship between our temple of Apollo and the city of Rome, and between our temple of Apollo and you, as I have already said last time, the temple of Apollo and the city of Rome are two separate existences that do not belong to each other.
Just as the city of Rome is dependent on you, so is our temple of Apollo, and we can forbid the people of Rome to enter the temple of Apollo, or we can sit idly by and ignore the life and death of the city of Rome.
However, your safety is our supreme goal, and if anything threatens you, all the people of the Temple of Apollo must bravely stand up for your allegiance, even if it is me, I can die for you at a critical moment. ”
Bing Lan's words were not impassioned, but Bai Feng could hear her firmness and fearlessness from Bing Lan's soft words, but Bai Feng never had the consciousness of letting a woman die for herself, and he also said bluntly to Bing Lan:
"Binglan, I don't think it's necessary to add the word high priest to the end of your name every day, and you don't need to call me Your Excellency the Governor all the time, just call me Bai Feng, and besides, I have never had a good habit of letting women die for me.
No matter what kind of predicament and how powerful the enemy is in the city of Rome, as long as the men of the city of Rome are not dead, it will not be the turn of you women to talk about life or death, even if I, Bai Feng, am only an intermediate swordsman, I will protect you and Yue'er to the death. ”
Maybe it was because Bai Feng's words were too beyond Bing Lan's imagination, or maybe Bing Lan felt that Bai Feng's question on the title had blasphemed him again; in short, after Bai Feng said this, Bing Lan lowered his head and didn't say anything more.
