Generals like Licinius and Antio, summoned by the Temple of Apollo, require a six-month summon cooldown, not to mention a summoning cooldown, and 3,000 gold in treasury funds, which is a big burden for the city of Rome.

What's more, Bai Feng didn't know how many generals the Temple of Apollo could summon, and if the generals that the Temple of Apollo could summon were only generals at the level of the commander of the Augustan Empire, then there would not be many generals in total.

In this world of swords and sorcery, the generals summoned by the Temple of Apollo were not only the commanders of the Roman army, but also the powerful masters who could take charge of their own affairs, and the more such masters, the greater the effect on the city of Rome.

Unfortunately, the existence of many factors such as summon time, summon cost, and number of summons greatly limits the value of the generals summoned by the city of Rome, and they are destined to become the top combat power of the city of Rome, rather than the backbone of the combat force.

From the long-term perspective of the future development of the city of Rome, the role of the top combat power is extraordinary, and the value of the backbone combat power should not be underestimated.

Before the successful experience of Perris, Bai Feng's vision for the future army of the city of Rome was as follows: the grassroots army, with the main force of the system army of the city of Rome, supplemented by the surrendered barbarian warriors, the backbone of the army of the city of Rome, which was played by the barbarian generals, and the top combat power, which was played by the generals summoned by the temple of Apollo and a few barbarian commanders with outstanding abilities.

Now with Perris's success, Bai Feng's concept has changed drastically, and the barbarian warriors loyal to the city of Rome will still be the auxiliary force of the Roman army, but the backbone of the army of the city of Rome will be composed of generals like Perris.

Compared with those barbarian generals who are loyal to Rome City, the generals of Rome City who are recognized by the system are the most trusted by Bai Feng, and in addition, the generals recognized by the system are much stronger in strength and ability than ordinary barbarian generals.

As far as Bai Feng's personal opinion is concerned, Peris's own strength is stronger than Gatus, and his ability to command the army to fight is more than a step stronger than Gatus, but Gatus is still the commander of the Cheetah Legion, and Peris will not be able to lead an army alone in a short period of time.

The reason for this phenomenon is very simple, it is just that Bai Feng wants to win the hearts of those barbarian warriors who have surrendered to Rome City, and until the population of Rome City does not reach three or five hundred thousand, the barbarian warriors will always be the absolute main force of the Roman City army.

Giving the families of ordinary barbarian warriors a stable life is just a means for Bai Feng to promote the process of civilizing the barbarian tribes, and this method needs time to play a role slowly;

After a year or two had passed, and the barbarian people, accustomed to the hardships of survival, had tasted the benefits of civilized life, and the food they had received from the fields was enough to consume everyone in the entire Roman city's sphere of influence, it was the harvest time of the Roman city.

At that time, all the barbarian people in the sphere of influence of Rome City will become the supporters of Rome City, and they will completely forget their former leaders, and at that time, Bai Feng can truly treat the barbarian legions of Rome City as ordinary generals.

But before this goal was achieved, those barbarian people who ostensibly belonged to the city of Rome were actually loyal to their former leaders, and in order to maintain the stability of the entire city of Rome, Bai Feng could only rely on these leaders.

The reason why Bai Feng reused these leaders from the barbarian tribe and entrusted them with the important task of making them the captains of the various legions in Rome City was not only because the city lacked a large number of generals, but also because Bai Feng needed them to command their warriors.

The soldiers of the Tasya Legion under the command of Gamilios are all soldiers of the original Tasya Tribal Alliance, and the soldiers of the Tiger Legion under the command of Bazel are also the soldiers of the original Bazel tribe, and the most elite soldiers of his legion are still veterans who have followed Bazel for several years.

The soldiers of the Eagle Legion under the command of Eggers were all warriors of the Acenian tribe who were loyal to Eggers, and the soldiers of the Dragon Legion under the command of Bronno were also captives of the Dart tribe from the Eastern Alliance, and they only knew Bronno as the commander.

As for Gatus's Cheetah Legion, the soldiers of this legion are probably the most loyal to the city of Rome among all the barbarian warrior legions, and the limited ability of Gatus as the leader of the legion makes the soldiers of this legion more recognized the commander of the city of Rome.

Especially after the Cheetah Legion was trained by the Spartan heavy infantry, their recognition of Gatus as the commander of the legion gradually declined, and their loyalty to the city of Rome gradually increased.

The last legion was Nelson's Roman Spear Legion, which was also the only cavalry legion in the city of Rome, and their origins were the same as Eggers' Eagle Legion, so naturally there was no need to say anything, and even Nelson himself obeyed Eggers.

Compared to these six legions, the Doge's Guard under Antio was the most loyal of all the barbarian warriors in Rome City, and as the scale of the war between Rome and the enemy grew, White Feng also planned to expand the size of the Doge's Guard.

With the current strength of 1,500 governors' guards, they could not play an important role in the battle of 100,000 troops, and Bai Feng intended to expand the size of the governor's guard to 5,000 men, and set up at least 2,000 longbowmen in its establishment.

Of course, this is only a temporary idea of Bai Feng, and until the great threat of Francis is completely solved, Bai Feng does not plan to take any changes to the existing army in the city of Rome, and everything will be said after the end of the war.

Moreover, it is not only the Doge's Guard of Antio that Bai Feng wants to change, but also the establishment of other legions, which Bai Feng wants to change;

In the war that just ended today, Bai Feng, who had been observing the combat situation of the various legions, could clearly feel that the movements of the various legions in Rome City tended to be slow, which was the inevitable result of the bloated establishment.

The three-tier organization of legions, brigades, and hundreds, adopted by the army of Rome, was too large in terms of command, and the commanders of each legion were simply unable to convey orders in a timely and effective manner, and the execution of the various brigades and hundred-man teams below was also full of loopholes.

Fortunately, the enemy fighting against the army of Rome City is a barbarian army that does not pay attention to the formation at all, and if it is replaced by a well-organized army of the civilized world, I am afraid that it will be the army of Rome City that will suffer, which is also the biggest shortcoming of the army of Rome City at present.

Since the current legion structure is not suitable for the current situation in Rome City, it is necessary to make new adjustments in time, and when the big trouble of Francis is completely solved, Bai Feng will immediately start to solve this establishment problem.
