Chapter 3578
The World's Rejection
...
Faced with Atlastomé's futile actions that depleted the legion's overall strength, both the Roman and Parthian soldiers felt puzzled.
Amid this uncertainty, the Roman soldiers became more proactive, while the Parthian soldiers became more hesitant.
It's really hard to see what benefit it would bring to you if the legion's overall strength was temporarily torn apart by the suppression of the army's cloud aura.
After all, as long as the army continues to surround the area, the torn clouds will naturally regroup and continue to exert downward pressure.
Therefore, breaking through such suppression in a short period of time is completely meaningless, and may even have more negative than positive effects.
After all, concentrating forces to tear through the suppression of the clouds means that the legion's strength will be squandered in a short period of time. As the opponent, they do not consume too much strength in this process, but can instead use the accumulated strength to attack and directly gain the initiative on the battlefield.
Therefore, many people do not understand why Atlas Tome made such an act that can be described as aiding the enemy.
Trajan, who witnessed this scene, immediately changed his expression.
Gone was his initial composure and calmness; following the direction in which Atlas's power broke through, he frowned and looked at the sky.
At this time of day, under normal circumstances, the sun should have already risen, bringing bright and warm light to the surrounding environment.
However, the sky right now doesn't look like it's in a normal state at all.
The white clouds in the sky swirled together, continuously turning into darkness, occasionally flashing with lightning.
Upon seeing this, Trajan instantly understood Atlas Tomé's thoughts and his countermeasures.
"If it can't be solved on the battlefield, then try to solve it through means outside the battlefield?" Feeling the sense of being locked on from the sky, Trajan had a general idea even though he had never seen a similar result before.
However, Trajan had already prepared himself for this outcome.
If one dares to bury the corresponding contingency plan within the eagle banner of the Second Trajan's Legion, waiting for the Parthian Empire's will to emerge before awakening oneself, how could one be without any preparation before death?
What kind of legion is the Second Legion?
Trajan's Legion, which he created and led, was by no means an ordinary legion.
"But even with such underhanded tactics, what can they do to me?" Before Atlasme could answer, Trajan casually flicked his hand, pointing forward from his robes, and clearly gave the order, "Attack!"
Camillo, also deep in thought, glanced at the situation in the sky and listened to the orders coming from behind him. He hesitated for a moment, which was unusual for him, but in the end he chose to obey Trajan and lead the army to continue the attack.
It seemed as if they were being ignored, or as if they were being provoked.
The black cirrus clouds that were originally gathered in the sky expanded further, and the lightning flashing within them became more and more frequent, making them increasingly threatening!
"The world rejects us? I see." Caesar, who could also see what was happening in the sky, quickly figured out the reason and understood why Parthia did what she did.
As beings who have passed away, they have no place in the normal laws of the world, even if they were former Roman emperors.
However, just as there exists a power in this world that transcends its limits, nothing in this world is absolute.
Even when the world rejects us, we can think of ways to weaken or avoid that rejection.
Caesar, who had already done some research and preparation, immediately came up with several ideas for this method, including protection of the nation's fortune, protection of the army, protection of war, and protection of destiny.
The safest and least risky way is naturally through the protection of the empire's national fortune.
Under the protection of this national destiny, their existence is concealed, making it impossible for the world to find them, and naturally, impossible to exclude them.
However, the downside of doing this is probably that one cannot leave the protected area located in a place with strong national destiny.
Based on current assessments of Rome, Caesar estimated that Italy was probably the only place where Rome could achieve this position.
Apart from methods that rely on the nation's fortunes for protection, other methods are merely temporary measures that only address the symptoms, not the root cause.
Take Trajan as an example. He possesses the protection of the Second Trajan's Legion, the military protection of the entire Roman army, and the fortune of his past as a Roman emperor.
Trajan, possessing all these abilities, truly had the capacity to ignore the world's rejection for a short period of time.
However, this rejection also has its limitations, and Caesar, who had not experienced it, was not entirely clear about how strong those limitations were.
However, judging from Trajan's confident demeanor, Caesar estimated that the chances of a successful resistance were still very high.
With such a precedent to follow, Caesar had a better understanding of his own situation.
If he also suffers rejection from the world, he can naturally use the same methods to resist the forces of rejection.
With the belief that if others can do it, he can do it too, Caesar felt much more relaxed after confirming this matter, and was even able to spend some time talking with Benito.
However, both Caesar and Trajan underestimated the intensity of the repulsion from the world above.
As a world that has been repeatedly provoked, the forces of rejection it has invested are becoming increasingly severe.
It can be said that the more deceased people appear, the stronger the world's repulsive force will become.
This means that within the same time frame, the number of people who could appear in the past is actually very small.
Once the quantity exceeds a certain limit, even the will of the nation's destiny may not be able to protect the other party.
Moreover, even an empire cannot guarantee that its imperial fortune will last forever and remain prosperous.
I never imagined that before me, there were already many deceased people who had appeared in the world, and there were even people who specifically reported them, confirming their existence.
Therefore, Trajan, who underestimated the power of world rejection, still tried to defeat his opponent in the shortest possible time, and then use the miraculous power of the Second Legion, a power that exceeded the limits of the world, to suppress world rejection. After that, it didn't matter.
The power stored in the eagle banner was originally intended to deal with Parthia's imperial will. Once Parthia's imperial will was dealt with, Trajan had no intention of interfering in the future of the Roman Empire.
It's not that I don't want to, but there's always this intuition in my mind, an intuition that isn't exactly friendly. (End of Chapter)
