Chapter 3544
Victory, always in my hands
...
For the soldiers of the Babak Legion, these things were unimportant; they did not pray for their tomorrow or their future.
They were willing to pay such a price, accept such power, and fight for it, all for the future of Parthia, not for the future of their legion.
When Babak's Abyss power enveloped everyone, they all realized what kind of war this was.
Only by having no way out and embracing the determination to die can the empire possibly have a future.
Under the Burning talent tree, Babak has gone very far; in fact, it can be said that no one else has been able to go as far as he has in this talent.
However, the intense burning effect, which was enough to burn away the innate blood effect, proved somewhat inadequate when facing Trajan's army under Camillo.
Trajan's Legion, with its three genuine talents and also filled with idealistic talents, can still use their will to resist the suppression brought by the talent of incineration. Although they cannot directly save themselves, they can greatly reduce the burning speed of the talent of incineration.
"What a pity." Looking at the radiant will of his soldiers, Camillo couldn't help but shake his head. He then put aside his complicated thoughts and continued the attack.
In the past, Trajan's army at its peak could have relied on its own willpower to resist the burning effects of the Burning Legion and then forcefully kill them.
All they can do now is significantly reduce the speed of the Burning Legion's Burning Talent.
Over a century has passed, and very few of the Parthian Empire's armies have truly changed; they are essentially unchanged from a hundred years ago.
Trajan's army, which had distinguished itself in the war against Parthia, could easily handle these ancient armies that hadn't changed in over a century.
So after a brief exchange, Camillo no longer hesitated or delayed, and directly ordered his soldiers to begin the extermination of the Babak soldiers.
The shorter the time frame, the more severe the damage to the enemy can be before the Burn talent takes full effect, so that even after the individual talent effects of our side disappear, we still have the power and ability to crush the enemy.
When Trajan's army, which had been probing, revealed its true colors and launched a direct attack, Babak's already understaffed soldiers were killed off at an alarming rate.
The speed of the sacrifice was so fast that even Babak, who was mentally prepared, could not accept it.
Looking at the soldiers who had accompanied him through countless wars, Babak's previously complex thoughts instantly became simple and unified.
Revenge, revenge against Trajan's army, was not only about avenging the nation, but also about avenging the soldiers and upholding the dignity of the Parthian soldiers.
"Your Majesty Emperor Vologis V, please forgive my choice." With soldiers falling in ever-increasing numbers, Babak, desperately trying to carve a path forward, racked his brains but still couldn't find a solution. However, in the current war situation, a fleeting moment of inspiration allowed Babak to seize upon it in that instant, and without hesitation, he used it, proclaiming, "Bloom, the glory of Parthia!"
A stronger force, a more powerful army in the future.
The only drawback was probably that the army didn't become a true military force. From this perspective, Babak could be said to have failed the direction and goals that Vologis V had clearly stated from the beginning.
However, at this moment, these things were no longer on Babak's mind.
The first talent is incineration, and the second talent is control of the essence of heaven and earth. The former can specify a talent effect to burn the enemy, while the latter can control and manipulate the essence of heaven and earth around them and attach it to oneself, thereby enhancing the corresponding attack ability.
With the ability to destroy the opponent's defensive talents and the defense enhanced by the essence of heaven and earth through incineration, coupled with the talent of mastering the essence of heaven and earth, the attack power of Babak's soldiers can be described as extremely powerful. However, they have significant shortcomings in other aspects.
Therefore, on this career path, Babak had several options to choose from from the beginning.
For Babak, a master of breaking boundaries and capable of training soldiers with roughly dual talents, the path always existed; it just ultimately led to a different path.
As the ultimate talent manifestation of the Burning faction, the third talent of Babak's legion can burn the enemy into fuel for its own continued burning, thus making the legion burn even more fiercely.
Unless fatally injured, the damage inflicted by this flame will be rapidly absorbed, its essence replenished, and the body healed. Furthermore, due to the control over the surrounding天地精气 (heaven and earth essence), this effect will be further enhanced, and the speed will become even faster.
The essence of heaven and earth used for offense, which assists the blade, reveals an even sharper, cold gleam.
As legionary soldiers advance in their talents and gain new abilities, the momentum they project during this advancement and breakthrough not only intimidates the Romans and Roman barbarians but also further appeases the surviving Parthians.
They, the Parthians, still have power, an army, the courage to change the world, and the determination to create the future.
"Breakthrough?" Sensing the aura emanating from the enemy and the speed at which they were growing stronger, Camillo's words were no longer dismissive. He completed the necessary preparations with remarkable speed and decisiveness.
Can those former opponents even be called opponents? They were just bullying novices; the experience and combat training they provided were ultimately minimal.
Only by engaging with opponents of this caliber can their legion grow faster and regain its former status and glory.
"In the name of the invincible Trajan, kill!" Without thinking twice, Camillo immediately ordered a counter-charge.
The strong get stronger, the weak get weaker, and the path for the strong is narrow; there is only one solution.
The willpower emanating from the soldiers began to flow, and their perception of talent diminished. A future of certain victory seemed to be already predetermined.
Camillo firmly believed in this somewhat mystical judgment.
They were the Second Trajan's Legion, and they had never lost since they followed the Roman Emperor Trajan.
Victory has always been theirs! (End of Chapter)
