Chapter 3606
To Become a Citizen
...
If the situation on the battlefield is not yet fully determined, neither Perennis nor Luciano would hesitate much in the face of this situation.
If it has strong recovery capabilities, then kill it a few more times!
If you have the ability to build up a counterattack, then even at the cost of casualties, forcefully kill the opponent.
However, once the tide of battle was largely over and many areas were beginning to be cleaned up, Perennis and Luciano had different ideas.
Whether it was the Emperor's Guard Corps or the current Eleventh Legion, the casualties suffered in this war were considerable.
Even after the war ended, replenishing the corresponding number of soldiers in a short period of time was not a particularly easy task.
The Emperor's Guard Legion, being part of the Military Soul Legion, is relatively easier, but it still requires a considerable amount of time.
However, as the 11th Legion, Luciano's need to replenish the corresponding soldiers is not something that can be accomplished in a short period of time.
The sacrificial power of the adaptive loop brings a kind of power that is like taking a shortcut, but the downside is that this shortcut cannot be bypassed.
The time it takes for the veterans to leave is the same time it takes for the new soldiers to leave; even with the aid of sacrificial forces to accelerate the process, this fundamental principle remains unchanged.
After a direct confrontation, Perennis made a quick judgment and relayed the relevant intelligence information to Severus.
Upon receiving the relevant information, Severus, based on the intelligence and recommendations submitted by Perennis, immediately made corresponding changes to the command of the army.
The Emperor's Guard Legion and the Eleventh Legion, which were originally the main fighting force, were withdrawn from the battlefield, and the battlefield was handed over to the newly arrived Third Illusion Warrior Cyrenica Legion.
Having shaken off the Han army and led the main force of his legion to the battlefield, Kabi thought he had missed all the wars. However, upon arriving at the battlefield, he was surprised to find that the Padia soldiers had not been completely wiped out and that there was still a formidable opponent waiting for him to deal with.
Just thinking about it made Kirby very happy.
Especially after confirming the nature and war talent of his opponent, Kirby knew what the others were thinking and also realized that there was no better opponent than this.
The Undead Guards, skilled in defense and recovery, are not particularly strong in normal combat and cannot defeat the Illusionary Warriors of the Third Legion in a short time. As for the explosive power accumulated after being injured or attacked, it can certainly take down the Illusionary Warriors, but so what?
Is the Illusion Soldier an unbearable pain for Kirby's army?
The Undead Guards can annoy their opponents with their rapid regeneration and revenge abilities, so why can't Kirby use his Phantom Soldier to annoy the Undead Guards in return?
Adopting this combat method can naturally significantly reduce one's own casualties.
Having already suffered heavy casualties in this war, the Roman army naturally wanted to control its current number of casualties.
“At least we must control the casualties of the Roman citizen legion,” Perennis said, looking at Luciano, who was also withdrawing, and tried to calm him down.
In this war, both the Roman and Parthian armies poured a great deal of effort and strength into it, investing their core resources.
Whether it was military spirit, the three talents, or even the miracle legions, they all became consumables in the war. The casualties caused under such circumstances were still crippling even for a large and powerful Rome. Although they used and mobilized a large number of barbarian legions in this war, the core backbone and mainstay of the war was still the Roman citizen legions.
To ensure absolute success and to completely annihilate the Parthian legions, a massive army operation was launched, with the Roman citizen legions as the backbone, the Eagle Legions as the core, and the elite troops as the vanguard.
The barbarian elite troops can only serve as auxiliary forces.
But after all, it was a total war, and quite a few barbarian troops participated in this series of wars. Many barbarian legions were promoted on the battlefield, and naturally, a considerable number of elite barbarian legions were formed.
It was only after surveying the battlefield that Perennis keenly noticed this.
Large numbers of Roman barbarian legions rose through the ranks to become elite forces during this war, while the citizen legions, the core of Rome, suffered heavy losses in the process.
Although both the Roman citizen legions and the Roman barbarian legions made huge sacrifices, the ratio of the number of Roman citizen legions to the number of Roman barbarian legions was not the same. With a fixed number of people being sacrificed, the Roman barbarians' share of the strength would become increasingly higher.
Realizing this, Perennis, with the outcome already decided, naturally began to implement the backup plan.
Severo himself had no objection to this plan.
Whether for the sake of Roman rule or for the power he could wield, appropriately reducing the number of Roman barbarian elite troops was a very reasonable policy and a justifiable act of war.
To make everything reasonable, and to effectively wear down the enemy by deploying these elite Roman barbarians into the battlefield, it is essential to have reasonable orders and choices, rather than recklessly forcing the enemy to complete impossible tasks.
In the current environment, this naturally presents a good option.
"Notify all auxiliary legions, ordering them to assist the Kabi legion in attacking the Yupar legion. Anyone who kills a Yupar soldier will be granted Roman citizenship for this merit." As if to celebrate Rome's great victory in advance, and also to provide a path for advancement for the remaining barbarian elites who did not have enough merit to be promoted, Severus displayed a generous and magnanimous spirit, issuing an order that sounded like a reward in extremely generous words.
All it takes is killing one soldier of the Immortal Guard to become a Roman citizen, to shed the identity of a Roman barbarian, and to become a Roman citizen.
The magnitude of the reward, the blatant temptation, attracted almost all of the elite Roman barbarian troops present.
As the elite among the barbarians, what were their reasons for participating in the battlefield?
Isn't it all about gaining enough merit to become a Roman citizen?
Now that such a great opportunity is right in front of us, how could we possibly let it slip by?
As a member of the elite, even a barbarian has some confidence in his own strength.
Moreover, the overall situation is already decided, and our forces are more than ten times that of the enemy. Under such circumstances, how could we possibly lose?
Rather than worrying about casualties, it's better to hurry up and rush over as fast as possible. If we're even a little slow, we might not even have the heads of the Undying Guards left.
Without human heads, how can they become citizens? (End of Chapter)
