Chapter 3567
Mutual Restraint
...
However, this seemingly powerful auxiliary effect is built upon the foundation of one martyr after another for the country.
The stronger the support effect of the military spirit, the more martyrs there will be.
If the auxiliary effects of the military spirit are to be diversified, not only do these Parthians need to take different paths, but they also need to become part of the martyrs.
How many people can accept the price they have to pay?
After noticing the support effects of the Parthian Guard, Vologus V fell silent for a moment, then calmly surveyed the battlefield.
He looked at the Parthian soldiers still fighting on the battlefield, then calmly stared at Perennis.
The Parthian Guard Legion, having been promoted to the Military Soul Legion, also brought with it a tremendous aura of becoming the Military Soul Legion, announcing to this world that the legion's advancement and sublimation had stirred up a wave of momentum that swept across the entire battlefield.
This announcement directly ignited the war spirit of all Parthians, and the terrifying momentum propelled their will to fight to an unprecedented peak.
Conversely, the morale of the Roman soldiers who witnessed this situation was severely damaged.
Watching the Parthian soldiers rise through the ranks, each more ferocious and powerful than the last, even the Roman soldiers who didn't believe in any supernatural forces began to question their own existence in the face of this reality.
Moreover, many Roman soldiers were barbarians, and their fighting will and morale were far less resolute than those of the Roman Eagle Legion. When faced with Parthia's continuous promotions, anyone could see that something was amiss.
Even the Roman Emperor Septimius Severus's expression changed at this moment.
The situation of the war had already reversed during the course of the war.
Parthia's army not only saw a significant improvement in combat effectiveness, but this continuous advancement also directly boosted the morale of the army. As a result, the strength gap provided by the Council Guard was not enough to intimidate the Parthia soldiers.
Rome's elite fighting legions have not increased so far, while Parthia's army has sprung up one after another like mushrooms after rain.
Especially after the Milan legion was completely annihilated, the linked red light quickly converged on the Parthian Guard legion.
Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, the Parthian Guard directly mobilized its corresponding forces, concentrating them on the Babak Legion, further increasing the Babak Legion's strength.
Feeling the enhancement effect on his body, Babak refocused his attention on the Roman 11th Legion.
Seeing his opponent's momentum suddenly rise, Luciano almost cursed on the spot.
As the commander of the Eleventh Legion, Luciano was well aware of his legion's characteristics. With multiple self-sacrificing cycles, the legion's overall strength could reach the heavens.
However, this accumulation of talent is not without flaws or weaknesses.
However, against the vast majority of opponents, the Eleventh Legion, relying on its physical attributes honed through repeated sacrifices, is able to crush most of them, then directly sacrifice the opponents to strengthen itself, continuing to promote and maintain the cycle of self-restriction.
However, his chosen opponent this time, or rather, the opponent he was assigned, was Babak from Parthia, a fellow who had forged a new path along the Burning Legion's route. The Burning Legion itself possesses a powerful weakening effect; although it can be resisted by willpower, the weakening effect is undeniable.
The Babak Legion, having become a three-talented unit, is much more effective at reducing burning damage than the regular Burning Legion. Even the other three-talented Decisive Battle units find it difficult to be exempt from the Babak Legion's burning damage for an extended period.
The best way to deal with this Burning Legion is to defeat them with pure physical strength. The Eleventh Legion's cyclical self-sacrifice can achieve this level of physical strength, but this level of physical strength also relies on the legion's own innate talent.
However, with the Legion's talents weakened by burning, this self-circulating cycle will be subject to external disruption and influence. If this continues for too long, it will be difficult to maintain the self-circulation and the power that is as high as the heavens.
It is precisely because of this restraint that Luciano does not want to waste too much time, because the longer the time goes on, the more difficult it is to maintain the cycle of self-sacrifice.
Without the ability to maintain the cycle of self-sacrifice, the Eleventh Legion naturally could not unleash its power as high as the heavens.
When everyone is at the same level, the only thing that matters is the fighting spirit and combat skills of both sides.
Unfortunately, everyone is just as good at this.
Recalling the difficulty of replenishing his legion's troops, Luciano was already itching to curse.
The Eleventh Legion and the Eleventh Legion are mutually restraining. In short-term battles, the Eleventh Legion is restrained by the Eleventh Legion, but if the battle is prolonged, the Eleventh Legion is restrained by the Eleventh Legion.
However, the Parthian Guard has now directly inscribed the talent of the Milan Legion and expanded it to Babak. Although it is only a single linked talent, the effect that can be produced by its combination is enough to make people feel troublesome.
It can influence the enemy's actions and make them do the same things. Even the Eleventh Legion, which has a superior overall quality, cannot avoid being influenced when facing the Babak Legion.
Under such circumstances, it would be nothing short of a pipe dream for the Eleventh Legion to want to eliminate the enemy in a short period of time.
However, if the opponent cannot be dealt with in a short period of time, the consequences will be obvious.
Once the Eleventh Legion collapses through self-sacrifice, even if it outnumbers the Babak Legion, a real fight would not necessarily result in a win or loss.
He might be able to win this battle with a larger number of men, but what happens after the battle is over?
Even with all these thoughts running through his mind, and even though he couldn't help but curse under his breath, Luciano had no choice but to lead his legion to persevere.
The Parthian legions have been promoted one after another, with even the main fighting legion and the auxiliary fighting legion joining them. If this trend isn't maintained, and the Parthians manage to break through, then Rome's future will likely be far from peaceful.
The Parthian of today is far superior to the Parthian of the past.
The most powerful Parthian in centuries has never been!
But they were Rome, having experienced numerous imperial wars, rising from a regional power to a vast empire spanning Eurasia—they were by no means weak! (End of Chapter)
