- Pericles (an outstanding representative of ancient Greek democracy, one of the most famous statesmen in the ancient world)

After getting the answer he wanted, Bai Feng couldn't wait to grab the arm of the High Priest Binglan and asked eagerly: "Last time, you shortened the six-month period required for me to summon a special army, and this time the remaining power of faith is enough to shorten the deadline for about how long?"

"Hmm!" It may be that Bai Feng was a little overexcited in addition to his excitement, his big rough hand tightly grasped the delicate arm of the Binglan High Priest, and the result of using too much force was that the Binglan High Priest also groaned in pain.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. Bai Feng, who woke up in this coquettish groan, found that the high priest of Binglan had a red mark on his arm, and Bai Feng didn't know whether to say that he was too strong, or that the arm of the high priest of Binglan was too delicate, and the only thing he could do was to apologize quickly.

"I'm fine. Facing the embarrassed Bai Feng, High Priest Binglan smiled generously, and then continued to ask in her soft voice: "The remaining power of faith can probably shorten the summoning period by one year, do you still want to summon the army?"

"No, no, no. Bai Feng quickly shook his hand and explained to the High Priest of Binglan: "I don't need to waste the power of these beliefs to summon two more special armies, I want to use this twelve-month period to shorten the period of population increase, is that okay?"

"You mean, use the twelve-month period to add twelve times to the population of the city of Rome, don't you?"

"Yes, if we can, we can add six thousand to the population of Rome, and when Rome enters the big town stage, new town barracks can be built, and only when the population increases, the number of young troops we can recruit will increase accordingly. ”

It turned out that Bai Feng was fighting this idea, and the two opportunities to summon special armies could only increase the number of soldiers in Rome City, and after replacing it with an increase in population, it could not only promote the development of the scale of Rome City, but also bring more usable soldiers to Rome City!

With an ordinary population of 6,000, based on the probability of 15 percent of the ratio of soldiers to civilians, Bai Feng can recruit about 900 new officers and men of the young army, while the two teams of special armies have only 480 officers and men at most, and at least 200 soldiers, so naturally the former is more cost-effective.

More importantly, after the city of Rome had the three hundred temple warriors of the temple of Apollo, there was no shortage of high-end combat power, but the middle force that served as the mainstay was very scarce; after Gatus and Licinius took away four teams of youth and three groups of town militia, the only army that Rome still had was a team of Cretan archers and a team of Parthian archers.

Even if the four teams of youth and the three groups of town militia could rush back to Rome City in time to join the war, the number of regular troops in Rome City was still too small, and increasing the number of recruitable troops in Rome City by increasing the population was undoubtedly the best way to solve this problem, and it was also the only way that Bai Feng could think of.

The High Priest of Binglan still gave Bai Feng a positive look as always, this time Bai Feng did not hesitate at all, he immediately said firmly to the High Priest of Binglan: "Bing Lan, then increase the population for me twelve times!"

Over the next two hours, the High Priest's scepter was raised twelve times, and the population of Rome quickly increased by a full six thousand, and with the massive increase in population, the size of the city of Rome also tripled!

After twelve consecutive spell casting, the face of the High Priest of Binglan also showed an irrepressible look of exhaustion, and Bai Feng did not bother the High Priest of Binglan anymore when he got what he wanted, but directly said goodbye to the High Priest of Binglan and left the Temple of Apollo.

Returning to the former location of the Governor's Residence, the Governor's Mansion, which once consisted of four rooms, a hall and two bathrooms, is completely gone, replaced by a majestic mansion consisting of two floors and a sprawling courtyard!

In addition to the earth-shaking changes in the Governor's Palace, the square in front of the Governor's Palace has also expanded at least more than doubled, and the previous square can accommodate at most one or two thousand people, and the current square is probably not too crowded even if it is stuffed with five thousand people!

Gatus and Licinius had already led their respective armies in the square, and after seeing Bai Feng come to the square with three retinues, all the soldiers knelt down on one knee under the leadership of their general and shouted:

"I've seen the Governor!"

Looking at the four teams of young soldiers and the high-morale mercenary soldiers, Bai Feng walked to the front of all the soldiers without hesitation;

"Warriors of Rome, whether you were warriors from Rome or who were once part of the tribe of Tasia, you are now soldiers of Rome, you drink the same water, you eat the same food, and you use the same weapons.

This not only means that you are in the same position, but also that you are brothers who can live and die on the battlefield! The enemy we face in Rome this time is very strong, far more powerful than all of us imagined, but so what?

With our parents, wives and children in the city of Rome, where our homes are, can we allow the city of Rome to be ravaged by the so-called powerful enemy? Can we stand idly by while the enemy attacks? Tell me, can you sit back and watch this happen?"

"Can't!can't!!can't !!" Bai Feng's words made the soldiers in the square involuntarily make up for the tragic scene after the Roman city was breached by the enemy, they couldn't suppress the anger in their hearts, and naturally raised the weapons in their hands, and answered Bai Feng's question with their own roar.

Successfully arousing the hearts of the soldiers with the same hatred is Bai Feng's purpose, he wants all the soldiers of Rome City regardless of identity and race to work hand in hand and fight to the death for the future of Rome City!

"Well, since you can't sit idly by and watch this happen, then change it with your own swords! Soon Commander Gatus and General Licinius will take you on the march, and I hope that you can use your sword to win a stable future for your family in Rome, and the future of Rome depends on you; tell me, can you do it?"

"Swear allegiance to the city of Rome! Swear to the satrap!" All the soldiers in the square once again knelt on one knee and swore their loyalty to the city of Rome and to Bai Feng himself with the blood in their chests and the swords in their hands!
