Chapter 3572
, Part 4: Caesar
...
Without any concealment or disguise, Trajan revealed his presence directly under the watchful eyes of all the legion's soldiers.
As the creator of the Legion, even after nearly a century, when Trajan reappeared and took over the entire Legion, the excitement he caused was still unparalleled.
As legionary soldiers, even after nearly a century, all the soldiers still recognized Trajan, this great Roman emperor!
As one of the most outstanding emperors in Roman history, Traya truly demonstrated what greatness means through his words and deeds.
As Trajan's Legion was created by Trajan himself, the recognition and pursuit of Trajan are engraved in the history of the entire Legion and will continue to be passed down.
So much so that when Trajan's phantom appeared and took over the entire legion, all the soldiers of Trajan's legion chose to obey without any questioning or doubt.
Even just the silhouette of his standing figure exudes an aura that is enough to make one recognize that this is Trajan, the Roman emperor!
As for Camillo, the legion commander, he was equally sincere at this moment, firmly obeying Camillo's orders.
As for the legion problem Trajan mentioned, Camillo was well aware of it. Taking over and commanding Trajan's entire legion, Camillo really didn't know how to tell Trajan about this issue.
As one of the most outstanding legions in Roman history, Trajan's Second Legion not only held a prestigious position but also possessed unparalleled strength.
However, the Second Trajan's Legion, which possessed such strength and status, did not continue indefinitely, but rather splits emerged among its members.
Ultimately, for the sake of the greater good of Rome, the Second Trajan's Legion, riddled with internal conflicts, split into two legions due to mutual incompatibility.
One part is the current Second Trajan Legion, which maintains the eagle banner and legion name of Trajan's Legion.
The other part became the current 30th Legion, whose commander is Lakllake.
Although neither of them is the one who caused the conflict in the past, their views on each other are no different from those of their predecessors.
I'm unhappy with the second one looking at the third one, and I'm also unhappy with the thirtieth one looking at the second one.
Everyone believed that they were the rightful heir to Emperor Trajan and denied the other side's line of thought and understanding.
The Roman Senate largely ignored this kind of internal factional struggle over lineage.
Because all the eagle-legions under the Roman system, not just the Second Trajan's Legion, had this contradiction.
For example, the Tenth Knight and the Thirteenth Rose, one was vying for Caesar's favor, and the other was trying to prove Caesar's worth!
The Fourth Lucky Legion all want to prove that they are the main force of the legion and fight for the legion's voice!
The Sixth Army Corps and the Twelfth Army Corps.
Eleventh Loyalty: Claudius and Rome...
It's fair to say that the vast majority of Roman legions were internally divided within the Roman Empire. There were many ways to resolve these conflicts, and waging war against external forces was one of them.
Therefore, the conflict between the Second and Thirtieth Legions was basically a minor issue among Rome's many problems.
Not many people are paying attention, and even fewer want to resolve this conflict.
The conflicts between legions, their mutual checks and balances, and the mutual control of provincial taxation were essentially a power balancing mechanism within the Roman system.
Although such institutions could easily lead to internal strife and infighting between legions within the empire, in the end, whoever ascended to the throne of the Roman Emperor was still the Roman Emperor!
For example, Trajan in the past, or Severus in the present, are both examples of this!
Trajan, a historically renowned emperor with outstanding military achievements, also possessed exceptional judgment and identification skills on the battlefield.
Leading and commanding the Second Trajan's Legion, whose morale and fighting will were bursting, and fully activating the effect of invincibility through sheer willpower, they advanced towards the flank gap of Atlas's Legion, following the identified battlefield weaknesses and opportunities.
Trajan's army's high mobility and breakthrough capabilities endowed it with an extremely strong ability to choose battlefields, and Trajan's ability in choosing battlefields was naturally beyond doubt.
Faced with Trajan's chosen target and direction, the Second Trajan's Legion responded directly to Trajan's orders, calling out Trajan's name, and launched an attack.
The unified shouts swept across the surrounding area.
Severus, who was close to the front lines of the battlefield, soon heard these sounds and saw the actions and behavior of the Second Trajan's Legion.
Severus could naturally see the problem with the direction in which the Second Trajan's army was attacking, and he also realized that advancing in that direction would surely yield great results.
However, there is always a delay in the transmission of orders. By the time he passes on this order, given Atlas Tomé's command capabilities and the legion's coordination abilities, they will probably have already sealed off this fleeting gap on the battlefield.
However, this tiny, almost fleeting opening was seized upon by the Second Trajan's army.
Based on his understanding of Camillo, and after glancing at the phantom on the battlefield and sensing the aura and spirit it exuded, Severus's expression immediately turned sour.
As a fellow Roman emperor, even with his pride and confidence, Severus did not believe he could truly surpass Trajan, after all!
It's not a good thing for a Roman emperor who has proven himself to be excellent to appear on the battlefield and take command of the army, even if it's only two or three legions.
Indeed, when Trajan took command of the Second Trajan Legion, he extended his power and command structure outwards, taking over and commanding even more Roman legions.
He had only been there a short time when he took command of two or three legions. If he continued to spread at this rate, Trajan would be able to take command of the entire Roman army in less than half an hour.
This is the power of a Roman emperor, especially one who has demonstrated his excellence by taking over and commanding power with considerable ease and speed.
Among the entire Roman army, the fourteen legions responsible for coordination, under the radiant light of Parthia's imperial will, shone brightly, and their eagle banners gleamed, creating a phantom image.
When the illusory figure's gaze fell upon Trajan, it was momentarily stunned by Trajan's imposing presence and aura, before quickly retracting its own. (End of Chapter)
