Chapter 3543
Overpowered to the point of invincibility
...
The three Romans and Parthia, who all made their own choices, and even those choices could be considered correct, did not affect the overall situation on the battlefield at that time.
Even Perennis and Shapur, who had been paying close attention to and understanding the situation on the battlefield, did not focus their attention on the right-wing army.
Even the most elite commanders of large armies have limited energy on the battlefield. When they focus on a particular battlefield, their attention to other battlefields is reduced, and they only check back once at fixed times or when they have free time.
The only battlefield that could draw the attention of both sides at the same time is the central battlefield.
Whether it was Parthia or Rome, the troops and combat power they had deployed in their central positions at this point completely overwhelmed their respective outer fields.
The Fourth Lucky One and the Milanese Legion, who were facing each other head-on, along with the Roman Anglo-Saxon heavy infantry and the Burning Legion providing support, the Eighth Legion providing support on the outer perimeter of the central army, and the Parthian Legion attacking from both flanks, formed several layers of encirclement in the middle. While encircling each other, they were also surrounded by the enemy.
"Notify the Second Legion to advance and prepare to support the right flank of the Eighth Legion." Perennis, who was monitoring the battlefield situation in real time, issued the corresponding legion mobilization order after observing the situation for a while.
Originally, the Eighth Legion of Rome was responsible for the two flanks of the Legion of the Fortunes, so the forces were divided to some extent.
However, this separation resulted in an ineffective resistance against the combined attack of the two Parthian legions. In fact, casualties began to rise abnormally high when the Vold and Babak legions were caught in the crossfire.
Upon noticing this abnormal phenomenon, Perennis immediately withdrew the heavily damaged Eighth Army Corps from the right wing and reassigned it to the left wing. At the same time, he transferred the more capable Second Army Corps to the right wing to launch a targeted attack on Parthia's Babak Army Corps.
For Camillo of Trajan's legion, their legion was the great Second Roman Legion, created by the great Emperor Trajan, whose formidable fighting power had long been proven by history.
Having crushed Parthia once, they are destined to crush Parthia again, just like before, continuing their glory.
Therefore, Camillo, who had received the order, was filled with glory and pride. He led the incomparably powerful Second Legion and directly rammed into the Babak Legion, which was trying to catch up with and annihilate the Eighth Augustus.
Camillo and Babak exchanged glances after they collided, both noticing their opponent.
Camillo, who didn't know much about Babak, didn't take his opponent seriously. He thought it was just a Parthian elite force and there was no need to panic.
When Babak saw the Roman flag with numbers engraved on it, he instantly realized that it was the Second Legion of the Eagles, Trajan's Legion.
Trajan's Legion was a truly revolutionary force that shattered the territory of Ctesi, wiped out the Parthian army, and nearly buried the fate of the Parthian emperor.
"I didn't expect it to be you!" Babak looked at the Roman banner, his brows furrowed, his anger burning intensely.
As the saying goes, enemies are bound to be extremely hostile when they meet, let alone when it comes to matters of national importance. In such cases, there's really no need to go into such detail.
“The houses we demolished have now given rise to new people, so we’re here today, of course, to demolish them.” Camillo looked at Babak with extreme calm, also to further test Babak’s abilities in this situation. Although the intelligence gathered was very accurate and detailed, it was still just the result of intelligence gathering, not the final result on the battlefield.
Because of the impact of war, a person's past can be easily changed, so testing exists from the very beginning.
Camillo, who almost disregarded any opponent on a tactical level, dared not be careless or negligent in actual combat. The reason for this was both simple and filled with helplessness.
Because they are a three-talented legion, they are Trajan's legion, possessing the glory bestowed upon them by Emperor Trajan, so they must maintain all of this, uphold their due record, and maintain the level of victory and defeat expected of a decisive battle legion of this caliber.
However, even Trajan's army could not perform perfectly given the current capabilities of any military force, let alone a dismantled one.
Therefore, in addition to regular training methods to maintain his strength, every battle that Camillo led the Second Legion in was an important growth opportunity for the transfer of experience, and also an accumulation and growth that allowed the legion to potentially transform again.
War is important, but experience is equally important.
“I didn’t expect you to be an opponent like you. That really surprises me.” Babak took a deep breath, looked at Camillo seriously, and then said with a hint of sarcasm, “It seems things aren’t going very well for you, brother.”
“As long as it hasn’t exceeded the limit for a long time, and as long as there are no opponents of this level, it’s easy to deal with.” Camillo drew the short sword from his waist, held it in his hand, and made his decision instantly.
Some opponents are easy to deal with, while others are not, but for the Second Trajan's Legion, which has been renowned for centuries, there are very few opponents that are worthy of serious consideration.
"So that's how it is. This is the Trajan's Legion, whose legend has been recorded for hundreds of years?" Babak's exclamation directly revealed the complexity and peculiarity of the matter.
"Times have changed. Now that you're prepared, be ready to face your predetermined fate." Knowing that his opponent recognized him and understood his power, Camillo naturally assessed his opponent's strength.
It was indeed a very strong elite legion, but it was still just an elite legion. To think that it could defeat the Second Trajan's Legion was nothing short of a pipe dream.
The formidable Second Trajan's army would not be defeated by anyone.
This was true before, it is true now, and it will be true in the future.
With this mindset and belief, Camillo directly encountered Babak, who went all out, leaving himself no way out, just to fight for his life.
I will do my utmost to unleash the power within my heart, and I will do my utmost to empower myself, all for the sake of success.
When the power belonging to the Heart Abyss was bestowed upon each soldier, all of them felt its surging will and unwavering determination. The soldiers' acceptance of this power was extremely high, so high that they could disregard any cost, as long as a better tomorrow awaited them... (End of Chapter)
