- Giacomo Leopaldi (famous Italian Romantic poet of the 19th century)

The 4,000 elite cavalry under the command of Antio, plus the more than 2,000 cavalry of the two cavalry wings under Leonidas, plus the cavalry lost in the war by the two Macedonian phalanx legions, the total number of cavalry trained in the cavalry stables this time reached a staggering 9,000!

The cost of special training for each cavalry is as high as 10 gold, and the treasury funds required for the special training of 9,000 cavalry are a full 90,000 gold; fortunately, the special training of cavalry is this time, and there will be no cavalry to need special training next month, so Bai Feng had to grit his teeth and come up with this fund.

When the excited Antio came to Bai Feng to ask for the heavy armor necessary for the formation of heavy cavalry, Bai Feng, who was distressed, agreed without hesitation; he even spent 90,000 gold in the treasury funds, could he still be reluctant to give up this small amount of money?

The barbarian blacksmiths could not even build the standard weapons and equipment of the Roman army, let alone the heavy armor and cavalry waistcoat used by the heavy cavalry, which could only be made from the armor shops of the Roman city, and which had to cost the treasury.

The person in charge of the armor shop came out to greet Bai Feng and his party in person as always, and Bai Feng, who didn't want to waste time, hurriedly put forward his own request, but was told that the heavy armor and cavalry vest needed to build a heavy cavalry required required 5 gold treasury funds!

The shocked Bai Feng almost walked away, such a high cost of building was beyond Bai Feng's imagination, and the heavy armor and cavalry horse armor needed by four thousand heavy cavalry would require a full 20,000 gold treasury funds to build.

If you add in the cost of special training for 4,000 cavalry in the cavalry stables, the cost of forming 4,000 heavy cavalry is already as high as 60,000 gold, which is a full 60,000 gold of treasury funds, and if the population is sufficient, it is enough to recruit more than 100 Roman heavy infantry!

Could it be that 4,000 hoplites could still defeat more than 16,000 Roman hoplites in a head-on battle? Bai Feng, who was in pain, really even had the heart to strangle Antio, and blamed this restless guy for proposing to form a hoplite cavalry unit!

At this time, Bai Feng, who was full of treasury funds, would not admit that he was also looking forward to the formation of a heavy cavalry unit in his heart, he just scolded Antio in his heart, and at the same time paid 20,000 gold to the armor shop treasury funds.

Before the heavy cavalry troops were formed, Bai Feng paid 60,000 gold treasury funds for them as a price; what kind of troops would be cultivated at such a high cost, this also made Bai Feng have a little more expectation in his heart.

"Bai Feng, come here, I have something to tell you. After leaving the armor shop, Bai Feng, who was full of depression, took his entourage back to the governor's residence;

Since the relationship between Binglan and Yue'er gradually warmed up, the living atmosphere in the governor's mansion has become much more harmonious; when Bai Feng, who was running around, returned to the governor's mansion, he no longer needed to appease Yue'er and Binglan, who were often tense with swords, and his heart was naturally much more relaxed.

However, generally speaking, Bing Lan and Yue'er would not deliberately take the initiative to find Bai Feng, unless everyone ate at the table together, they were busy with each other, and there were not many opportunities to get along alone.

Getting along alone here refers to Bai Feng and Yue'er being alone, or Bai Feng and Binglan being alone, because when Bai Feng was not in the governor's mansion, Yue'er and Binglan were together, so the two of them spent a long time alone.

"Bai Feng, do you know that the university in the city of Rome has been built?"

"Of course I do! The university has been built for a long time, but you don't know how busy I have been lately, is there something wrong with the university? Or is there some special function? Or will I go there immediately?"

"You, you know all day long that you are busy with this and that, and you have to pay more attention to the new buildings in the city of Rome, and you don't have to go to the university, and there is no special function when you go, the real special function is in the great temple. ”

"Is it possible that after the completion of the university, there will be new changes on the side of the great temple? This is incredible, isn't it? The university and the main temple are two completely different buildings at all; is there any direct or indirect connection between them?"

"If you want to ask about the specific connection between these two buildings, then I don't know, after all, this is not something that Sister Yue'er and I made, but what I know is that after the university was built, a new function was activated on the side of the main temple. ”

"What's new?what????!

"The existence of the Great Temple is inherently special and mysterious, so it's normal that many things are not prompted by the system, just like the Temple Warriors led by the two commanders of Leng Gundam and Leng Goofy, which themselves are not counted by the system.

The new feature activated by the Grand Temple this time is that you can reorganize the army you summoned from the Grand Temple, and as long as there is still a soldier in the team you summoned, you can replenish this team by consuming the power of faith. ”

"Okay, isn't this just a disguised collection of faith power? Apollo, this guy is really the same as ever!"

As the high priest of the Great Temple of Apollo, Bing Lan didn't like anyone to speak disrespectfully to Apollo, but Bai Feng obviously didn't belong to anyone, and every time Bai Feng couldn't help but criticize Apollo, Bing Lan would pretend that he didn't hear.

On the surface, Bai Feng, who was dissatisfied with Apollo's various dissatisfactions, was actually very surprised by the news that Bing Lan told him; compared to the hard-won power of faith, the powerful special troops made Bai Feng value it more.

Moreover, there is no shortage of statues of gods with the power of faith in the city of Rome today, and the core camp of the Vitus tribe alone provided twenty-four statues for the city of Rome, and Eggers also brought back thirty-seven statues from the east of the river.

The newly acquired sixty-one idols, plus the twenty idols that Bai Feng had originally stockpiled, the number of idols in Rome has reached eighty-one, not including the idols of other camps of the Werther tribe in the Hexi region, and those idols will soon be returned to Bai Feng.

There were enough idols to give Bai Feng the idea of immediately reorganizing the special troops, and after saying a few more words with Bing Lan, Bai Feng hurriedly took Maxi and the others to carry a statue and went to the direction of the Great Temple of Apollo.

There are seven special units that need to be reorganized in Rome City, namely one team of Germanic berserkers, two teams of Spartan heavy infantry, and four teams of Macedonian royal pikemen.

The seven teams of troops who came to the Great Temple with Bai Feng and the others stood in a neat queue on the square in front of the Great Temple, while Bai Feng led his entourage and carried the statue into the Great Temple, looking for the sacrifices inside.

The sacrifice of a god statue restored all the seven teams of special troops to their original full strength, and there was still a surplus, and the excess power of faith was enough for Bai Feng to summon two teams of special troops again, so there were two more teams of Parthian archers in the establishment of the guard battalion.
