Roman Empire of Total War

Interpersonal interactions induce people to observe themselves and reflect on themselves.

-Franz Kafka (Austrian novelist)

"My father Marquis Perpignan was invited to participate in the auction ceremony that night, and I was fortunate enough to see the legendary hibiscus treasures; that is a rare treasure that has caused countless imperial powers to fight, and each one is worth a lot. !"

The proud young lady of the aristocracy had just finished speaking, and another aristocratic young man who had been deliberately pleasing her quickly stepped up and said: "The nobles who participated in the Bodhisattva auction ceremony are all the most powerful and noble people in the empire; they can be sought after Is the treasure a vulgar thing!"

"Hey, do you still use it?" The aristocratic youth's words were not finished yet, and someone ridiculed: "His Highness Pross said just now, but this is a hibiscus treasure worth more than 300,000 gold coins; as long as If you are not deaf, you should know that this is not a common thing."

"Virgil, you..." The aristocratic young man who was taunted in front of his favorite man was naturally disgusted by those who taunted him; but he had to swallow it because of his family status. Nasty.

The conflict between these young nobles was just a corner of the banquet hall where there was much discussion; soon, all the nobles in the banquet hall figured out the value of the gifts presented by Bai Feng, and the eyes of those noble ladies looked at Bai Feng It is getting hotter.

After inadvertently hearing the dispute between the two young nobles, Bai Feng pretended to smile casually at the eighth prince and asked, "His Royal Highness, is the young noble named Vergil from a very good background? I think the nobles mocked by him Not too afraid to refute him."

"You say Vergil, his origin is far worse than that of Brother Bai!" The eight princes who played with this gold leaf fan couldn't put it down. "Firgil's father is the governor of the southern Montauban province. The Marquis of Tubon is regarded as a local power figure of the empire."

"That's the case." Bai Feng with a slight smile on his face was slightly shocked; since the son of the Marquis of Montauban would appear at the private banquet of the eighth prince, then nine out of ten of the Marquis of Montauban himself was also with the eighth prince Have a very close relationship.

The eighth prince who had been playing the fan for a long time finally remembered that there was something to be done tonight; so he personally introduced Bai Feng one by one to introduce the young nobles in the banquet hall one by one, intending to integrate Bai Feng into his power circle.

Bai Feng, as he wished, greeted these young nobles with hypocrisy, while secretly analyzing their family background in his heart; after the nobles in the banquet hall had known each other, he discovered that the power of the eighth prince was far more than the surface. More powerful.

The eldest son of the Earl of Prades and the eldest grandson of the Duke of Tras appeared here, as expected by Bai Feng; the eldest sons of the three earls appeared here in the three other counties except the capital of Bayonne. Bai Feng is understandable.

But the emergence of some other people made Bai Feng understand some things that the eighth prince's forces are unknown to outsiders; for example, the eldest son of the Marquis of Montauban, the eldest son of the Earl of Ravilanite, the eldest son of the Earl of Lavolane and many more.

Through this banquet alone, Bai Feng was able to determine that the Eighth Prince had at least controlled the 13 counties in the south; specifically, all four counties in Bayonne and Prades in Perpignan. All four counties of Ravilanite and Lavolane in the province of Ravilanite, Murret in Toulouse, Albi in Alberta, and Montauban.

The area of ​​influence of the thirteen counties is actually equivalent to three of the ten provinces in the south of the empire; more importantly, the provinces of Bayonne and Montauban, these two provinces According to Bai Feng's estimation, he was completely controlled by the Eighth Prince.

The eighth prince, the weakest of the four princes, has such strength, and what other three princes have such strength; especially the strongest prince, his grandfather is the empire's military minister, Duke Cullen, and the standing army of the entire empire. All belong to him.

After Bai Feng’s most conservative calculations, the number of city defense troops that the eighth prince can control is about 20,000, excluding the Bluebird Swordsman Regiment; plus the 5,000 guards of the Duke of Tras, the total army of the eighth prince’s forces The scale is around 25,000.

The power of the Grand Prince is stronger than the Bluebird Swordsmen. The group of the wind thieves is stronger than that of the Blue Bird Swordsmen. The size of the army of the grand prince is at least twice that of the eight princes. The prince's army is more sophisticated.

In this way, the value of the Bai family to the eight princes lies not only in the support of the two Saint-level strongmen, but also the eleventh standing corps of the Empire, which is stronger than the city defense force; the value of this ten thousand empire standing army is eight The prince is in no way inferior to the two Saint-level strongmen!

The fruitful Bai Feng didn't care about the charming eyes thrown at him by the noble lady, but found a quiet place to sit down on his own; who knows that the buttocks are still hot, there is a sound behind his back Familiar voice.

"Bai Feng, didn't you tell me that there is something wrong with asking for leave? Is your asking to come here and frown with the noble ladies?" Who can tell this kind of grievances besides Teacher Sofia of the Ministry of Military Affairs?

Bai Feng groaned inwardly, but still had a look of surprise on his face. He turned back and looked at Sophia with an unhappy face: "Teacher Sophia, why are you here? What a fate!"

"What's wrong with me here? The eighth prince's mansion will never be yours, so you are not allowed to enter me." The simple and rough way of speaking Sofia is still dissatisfied: "Don't change the subject for me, please tell me to ask for leave What is it for!"

"This living ancestor is really hard to wait for!" Bai Feng, who all groaned, could not say this, he had to pretend to explain helplessly: "Teacher Sophia, is there no way for me? The eighth prince's invitation, I Can you refuse?"

"Since I was young, I hated attending such meaningless aristocratic banquets, otherwise I would not go to serve in the army for two years; I would rather face the swords of the barbarians, and would not be fooled with the nobles. Talking nonsense."

Hearing Bai Feng mentioning military service and barbarians, Sofia's attitude softened obviously; but she still didn't let Bai Feng go, but continued to ask: "Why do you still come to the banquet tonight? Brows with those noble ladies?"

"I came to the banquet tonight, it was purely a task entrusted to me by the family; as a member of the Bai family, I must bear my own responsibility!" Bai Feng, who is righteous and solemn, said solemnly: "As for The brows you said come and go, I only firmly deny it!"

"If I really frowned with them, why would I sit here alone? I just don't want to frown with them, so that I can stay away from them and sit quietly; Teacher Sofia, how can you question me?"

The grieved Bai Feng said that he seemed to be Dou E, especially the question in Bai Feng's last sentence, which made Sofia as a listener feel guilty. She felt that she should not misunderstand Bai Feng in this way.

A crisis that almost caused Bai Feng's holiday to be ruined was so covered up in Bai Feng's explanation; Sofia, who apologized in her heart, did not continue to blame Bai Feng. Instead, she sat beside Bai Feng and accompanied Bai Feng to pass boring banquet time.

Those noble ladies who wanted to catch up with Bai Feng and talked to Bai Feng, after recognizing Sofia's identity, took the initiative to give up their plans; the name of Sofia's "Mother Tyrannosaurus", it was the whole of Metropolitan Megatron!
