Chapter 3593
The Military Soul Legion That Does Not Rely on the Will of the Empire
...
"I understand, I understand." Li Yan nodded slightly, indicating his complete agreement, and said righteously, "It's only because Tiritaya's strength is insufficient. If it were General Zhao in his breakthrough state, he would definitely be the one who dies..."
The Military Soul Legion is very strong, and Li Yan will not underestimate them in this regard.
The strength displayed by the Roman Emperor's Guard Legion was enough to make Li Yan take it seriously, and the commander of this military spirit legion...
Perennis's demonstrated personal strength was enough to make Li Yan back down.
However, being less capable than your opponent does not mean you lack a basic understanding of their strength.
Even without the aid of talent, Li Yan could make a fairly accurate assessment of the enemy's strength.
The Emperor's Guard is very strong, but to defeat him, the weakness probably lies within oneself.
In a typical legion-to-legion battle, Li Yan wouldn't back down from his opponent, but in terms of individual strength, he was indeed outmatched.
Sun Quan, who had also participated frequently, quickly nodded in agreement.
Breakthrough-level experts are indeed ruthless. Whenever they appear on the battlefield, they are a huge threat. Sun Quan remembers every single one of them.
If they encountered other ordinary generals, they wouldn't be in any particular danger thanks to the protection of the army.
However, even with the protection of an army, Sun Quan did not feel safe with such a powerful being who had broken through the limits.
When there are no comrades of this caliber in one's own army, it's hard to feel at peace.
There was nothing they could do. Among the acquaintances present, whether it was Li Yan or Lü Meng, they were powerless against such a top-tier expert, at least in terms of individual martial prowess.
Thinking of this, Sun Quan felt a pang of longing for his brother.
If he had his brother's formidable strength, he would at least have a better chance of protecting himself on this dangerous battlefield.
Even a powerhouse at the Breakthrough Level might die on the battlefield, but compared to his current state, his survival rate would be much higher.
"Those things are for the future. At least after this battle, we won't have to fight the Roman army for a while." Seeing Tirita fall, Sima Yi knew that his plan was in place.
The Parthian Guard still possessed the will to fight, the determination to die, and the belief in protecting Vologius V, but they no longer had the edge to stop Perennis's cutting edge, and defeat was inevitable.
In contrast, Atlatomé, relying on the power of terror and psychological intimidation, led his army on a rapid advance, but the pace of the advance eventually slowed down.
Choosing Severus, and not any other direction of attack, intimidated Atlatomé, a common Roman soldier, and sealed their fate, making a breakout impossible.
Especially with the Tenth Knight overcoming the obstruction of ordinary soldiers and approaching the Atlas American army, the final outcome was already sealed. "Has Ardashir not given up yet?" In contrast to the gazes of the crowd, Lu Meng looked directly at the corner of the projection and said with a hint of sadness, "We can all see it, can't Ardashir and Farssasan see it?"
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their attention to the edge of the battlefield.
Looking at Ardashir, who was still fighting, and Farssasan, who was still giving orders.
They did not choose to retreat and continued fighting.
Even Farssasan, as the commander, kept two lancer units at his disposal to break through the defensive line and to cover the rear.
The fact that it hasn't been used yet shows that Farssasan still harbors hope—a hope that's unlikely to come true.
"If the Parthian Guard shares its power with the Undead Guard and raises its power to the third tier, could it hold out longer? Until Atlatomme succeeds!" Xu Huang thought about Sima Yi's previous description and pointed directly at the battlefield in the projection, speculating on what might happen next.
“Holding out longer is naturally not a problem, but it’s absolutely impossible for Atlastome to succeed!” Duan Yun, who had been silent, shook his head and said in a very calm tone, “The Tenth Knight is very strong. Even among miracles, the opponent’s combat power is not something Atlastome can defeat by using tricks. As for breaking through the defenses formed by Severus’s guards, that’s also impossible…”
If the Imperial Will could support only two Legions of Military Souls, given the fighting spirit displayed by the Severus Guard Legion at this moment, coupled with its already excellent combat qualities, if it maintained its current state of combat and fighting spirit until the Imperial Will was willing to acknowledge and support it and share its power, it could have been promoted to a Legion of Military Souls.
In other words, Severus's Royal Guard also grew stronger in such battles, not in terms of physical strength, but in terms of willpower, resilience, and unity.
Even just strengthening their willpower would make Severus's Guard stronger, more imposing, and more able to unite people and enhance their resilience.
"What a pity, the Tenth Knight has arrived!" Seeing that Atalanta and his legion still hadn't reached Severus's front, Virginio led the Tenth Knight to the flank of Atalanta's legion and joined the battle. Li Yan quickly gave the result of the war.
"What a pity, the Tenth Knight arrived too early." Duan Yun echoed, then said with a sigh, "If the Tenth Knight hadn't arrived, we might have been able to see the Roman Empire's third Legion of Souls, a Legion of Souls that didn't rely on the Empire's will!"
Under normal circumstances, a military spirit legion does indeed need to rely on the support and assistance of the imperial will to be passed down for generations.
However, for some people, even without the will of the empire, the military spirit legion can still fight its way out. Even if it cannot become independent and may even disappear with the disappearance of its generals, it cannot change the strength of this legion.
"Is that even possible?" Feeling as if he had heard something he shouldn't have, Sun Quan looked at Duan Yun with surprise and disbelief.
After considering Duan Yunjun's identity as the commander of the Soul Army, Sun Quan realized that this possibility seemed extremely high. He quickly calmed down and acted as if he were invisible.
"Isn't this normal?" Duan Yun glanced at Sun Quan and said calmly, "The Military Soul Legion is a miracle, and the Imperial Will is also a miracle."
Sima Yi nodded calmly; this was information he had not told Volognes V.
Under the patronage of the Empire's will, the Military Soul Legion does indeed possess inheritance and independence, but some Military Soul Legions simply do not care about this.
Born to be a general, what use is he now that the general is gone? (End of Chapter)
