Chapter 3561
The Prediction Was Absolutely Accurate
...
Without hesitation or delay, they unleashed their military spirit to lock onto their opponent and, under the puzzled gaze of the Eighth Augustus Legion Commander, initiated close-range firing at extremely close range.
As the pent-up military spirit began to rapidly dissipate, the arrows in the hands of the Atlas American soldiers shone ever brighter.
As Atalanta loosened her grip on the bow and arrow, almost simultaneously, Atalanta's soldiers also loosened their grip.
In just one volley and burst, the number of cloud arrows fired exceeded 100,000.
Instead of just a few scattered dots, it surged forward like a wall, heading straight for the Eighth Augustus Legion and the Second Auxiliary Legion.
There were no roars of battle, no passionate confrontations; only cloud-like arrows swept past, followed by a deathly silence.
Without looking at his opponent or caring about his current condition, Atlas Tomé turned his horse around and led his troops toward the direction of Vologius V.
Atlatomé's indifference to the consequences and impact of the battlefield does not mean that others are indifferent to it.
Septimius Severus, who directly took command of the entire Roman army, was the first commander to face this situation head-on.
Seeing Parthia directly promote a military spirit legion on the battlefield, and the burst of power after the promotion completely destroy the Second Auxiliary Legion, causing the Eighth Legion, Augustus Legion, which was mainly affected, to lose even its eagle banner.
It can be said that, up to this point in the war, the first Roman legion to withdraw from the war as a whole appeared on the battlefield.
Although Atlasme's offensive achieved great results, it was still within acceptable limits for the Roman army at this time. Even though individual legions suffered devastating blows and their morale was greatly affected, none of the decisive battle legions were impacted, and the auxiliary legions centered around the decisive battle legions were still able to maintain their fighting morale.
"Damn it!" As the first support, Legion Commander Alessandro directly felt the impact of this attack.
The Second Auxiliary Legion, also composed of retired veterans, was almost completely dismantled under such attacks, while the Eighth Augustus, the reserve legion of the First Auxiliary Legion, was completely wiped out on the battlefield. This means that in the short term, it will be difficult for the casualties suffered by the First Auxiliary Legion to be quickly replaced by reserve soldiers to form a legion's combat strength.
Noticing Alessandro's outburst of complaint, Ardashir, who was directly engaged in combat with the top support, became even more composed.
After entering the Miracle State, the already limitless combat power is fully displayed in this state.
Even the heavily armored soldiers of the First Auxiliary Legion would be killed when faced with the attacks of Ardashir's cavalry.
The First Auxiliary Legion, which liberates forces for combat, can also withstand the attacks of the Ardashir Legion soldiers and use its unparalleled strength to directly smash the horses' heads, break their legs, or kill the horses themselves, thereby eliminating their inherent speed.
Whether it was the limitless willpower attacks and sharp strikes, or the limitless power strikes, both sides were destined to attack far more than defend. As a result, even though they were both super elites, they suffered extremely high casualties in this head-to-head collision.
However, neither Alessandro nor Ardashir retreated under these circumstances, continuing their relentless attacks. Ardashir understood how formidable and troublesome his opponents were, knowing the immense problems that releasing such a formidable adversary would cause for the other Parthian legions.
Alessandro shared the same thought and was even less likely to let Ardashir's legion pass by, especially since so much time had passed before they finally encountered an opponent they could barely fight.
Even if the enemy is indeed stronger than their own in terms of individual strength, their efforts over the years have not been in vain.
The sheer number of over ten thousand in the First Auxiliary Legion was the best answer to the Ardashir Legion.
Perennis, who was advancing towards Vologius V, noticed the outbreak of Atlatomé's army during his advance on the battlefield. He frowned slightly, turned his head to look at Vologius V, who was not far away, and coordinated a nearby army to block Atlatomé. Then he continued to lead the Imperial Guard army to attack Vologius V.
It is indeed a bit of a stretch to expect a randomly selected legion to stop a Legion of Military Spirit, but if it is just a matter of delaying time, it is not a big problem.
The outburst from the American army at Atlas was indeed terrifying, but it was precisely because of this terror that Perennis understood that this outburst was just that—an outburst.
The terrifying instant-kill effect and the sheer number of attacks could indeed deal a significant blow to the enemy's morale, but for Perennis, who understood the reasons behind it, it only strengthened his resolve to continue attacking Vologis V.
The situation on the battlefield has taken a strange turn, and with these continuous breakthroughs, the morale of all Parthian soldiers has reached an unprecedented level.
This excessively high morale, and the resulting fighting spirit and will to fight, could even offset the boost provided by the Roman Council Guard to some extent, which is a terrifying situation.
"So what should we do now?" Xu Huang turned to look at Sima Yi and said in an extremely admiring tone.
Before the war began, Sima Yi had already made his prediction, and the result turned out exactly as he had predicted.
It seems that Sima Zhongda was more knowledgeable about military strength than him.
A legion with three talents, a legion with miracles, and a legion with military spirit—these powerful legions, enough to forge the foundation of an empire, appeared on the battlefield. If a few more super elite legions follow, it's really hard to say who will win this war.
Rome was indeed very strong, but not invincible!
If legions were to advance one after another on the battlefield, it could easily affect the morale of both sides.
To put it bluntly, a war of this magnitude, a war with this outcome, truly feels like one side is destined for greatness while the other has been utterly abandoned…
"It seems to be the effect of the Fate Weaver, but how could the Fate Weaver be so powerful?" Sima Yi murmured, then shook his head in denial, "Things can't possibly be like that!" (End of Chapter)
