The headless corpse of the barbarian soldier fell in a pool of blood, but standing beside him was John Lawrence holding a broad sword. The incident on the scene scared everyone. Feng Yu said to the corpse in shock: "When you join the army, you should have known that military laws are as good as a mountain, so no one will blame you for losing your life."

Although the other barbarian soldiers were dissatisfied and cast resentful eyes on Feng Yu, they did not dare to act rashly anymore. The bodies were quickly cleaned up, and the barbarian soldiers obediently changed their equipment and armor. Even the guards, including John Lawrence, changed into large shields and short swords like Roman soldiers. Those who were carrying heavy javelins also removed the javelins as Feng Yu ordered and piled them on the side of the open space.

Douglas asked Feng Yu: "General, we only do sword and shield close-fitting training. Do you not plan to use javelins in the future?"

"Yes, I will not use javelins again in the future. But there will be another more effective weapon as a supplement. In addition, this big shield needs to be improved." Feng Yu looked at Douglas' puzzled face and added: "I can't explain it clearly now. You will understand it when the time comes."

After hearing Feng Yu say this, Douglas stopped talking. He knew in his heart that according to the Roman military laws, the equipment of this legion was completely decided by the legion commander. Otherwise, there would not be so many non-standard weapons and armor in each legion.

A moment later, the sound of swords and shields colliding and weapons clashing in the open space of the military camp sounded. Feng Yu called Douglas, who was guiding the soldiers' training, and said, "From today, all your energy will be spent on recruiting soldiers and horses. Simmons and the others will do the training of soldiers in person."

Feng Yu saw a embarrassed expression appearing on Douglas's face again and added: "Douglas, you don't have to worry about money. As long as you recruit people, they can guarantee that their salary will be indispensable, and it will not be too late."

Douglas then replied truthfully: "General, I'm not worried about this. But now there is no extra money in the army. Even the expenses for recruiting soldiers are not enough. The personnel, carriage fees, accommodation fees, daily food and news advertisements are all required."

Feng Yu laughed and said, "So that's it, but this is not a problem. I can personally advance the money." After that, he ordered Simmons to take out fifty gold coins from his personal wallet and give it to Douglas, and then asked, "Is so much money enough?"

Douglas said repeatedly: "Enough, enough. But according to the practice of the Roman army, the recruits will have to advance the first payment in the first week after joining the army. I wonder if the general's money will be available at that time?"

Feng Yu calculated with his fingers and said, "It should be enough. Even if he can't raise so much money when the time comes, he will definitely be able to raise it for another week."

Douglas nodded and replied, "Then I'm relieved." After that, he turned around to prepare for recruitment. The training for the soldiers was taken over by Simmons, who had just been promoted to the commander of the thousand-man.

Time passed quickly, and nearly two weeks passed in a flash. Newly recruited soldiers flocked to the barracks one after another. The barracks, which seemed sparse and deserted during non-training periods, became noisy and lively. When it was time for training, the barracks were filled with loud horns, shouts of thousands of soldiers and the sound of metal clashing.

On this day, when the horn sound of morning exercises blew up, the military camp was covered in darkness, and the messy recruits almost occupied the open space. This was very different from the empty scene two weeks ago. Feng Yu secretly praised Douglas's efficiency in his work. In just over two weeks, he would recruit more than 5,000 people, which is a whole army of troops.

After Feng Yu was about to give these recruits a brief speech, he asked Dian Qing, Simmons, John and others to take outside the military camp for training, because the venue in the military camp was really not enough. He knew that he had climbed the high platform of the school grounds built by wood and was about to speak, when the crooked recruits lined up below were clamoring.

"Legislative Commander! When will the first military pay be paid to us? We are here to join the army."

"Yes, we came just after seeing that the military pay paid by your legion is a little higher than others. I didn't expect it to be owed at the beginning."

"It's logical that it can be paid in one week. Now, we have been joining the legion earlier, and it's almost two weeks since the first prepayment of military pay has not been seen. This is the cost of resettlement. If the family has no money, how can we be at ease to join the army?"

"Now other people's Vienna Legion are also recruiting soldiers. If I had known this, I might as well join the Vienna Legion nearby."

Feng Yu was about to speak, but Douglas rushed to the stage and explained first: "Everyone, don't be impatient. Our military salary and finance department is allocating. Don't worry, you will not be less than yours. At most, a week or seven days will definitely be in your pocket."

But his explanation did not calm the commotion, and the soldiers were still coaxing: "What? I have to wait for a week. What is this?"

"We can't afford to wait. The wives and children in the tribe are waiting for money."

Feng Yu looked around and found that most of the German barbarian soldiers were German barbarian soldiers, and only a few were soldiers of other ethnic groups. Among them, the typical Latin people were rarely seen. He thought to himself that the city of Rome had not received any response at this time, so the money must be no longer allocated. He could only use the intelligence network deployed by Liang State in Rome to raise money. He didn't want to do this, but it was not that he felt sorry for the money, but that the risk of the intelligence network exposure would greatly increase.

When Feng Yu was about to speak to these turbulent soldiers, a rapid sound of horse hooves came from the gate of the military camp. Several horses had already rushed into the military camp, followed by several four-wheeled baggage trucks, and the carts were on both sides of the carts that were protecting more than a hundred Roman soldiers running forward.

The leader jumped off the horse, raised his hand to Feng Yu and said, "You are Feng Hu, my name is Julius, I am here to send you military pay."

Feng Yu said happily: "It's great, this money is really timely. Your financial office is quite efficient."

Unexpectedly, the other party smiled indifferently and said, "Hisser Feng Yu, this was not transferred from the Financial Office. It was transported directly from the Consuls Office."

Feng Yu suddenly realized: "It turns out that the financial officer still deducted the money. His Majesty Alexander lifted the siege for us."
