Chapter 2176 - 1929: Shattering Your Arrogance
This is the confidence with which Ardashir roars to annihilate the Roman Rose Corps. Both young men lead powerful legions of the era, but the difference lies in that the Roman Rose Corps has exposed all their trump cards, while the Parthians have just unveiled their hidden veils.
As Sassanid Fars says, we Parthians also possess a Dual Talent Super Elite Legion, and this is not a joke but a fact.
The first elite talent from the unified Parthia draws strength from slaughter and war, constantly restoring and strengthening itself with the onset of war, making itself more suited for the battlefield.
The second talent is Incineration, designating to burn the opponent’s super elite inherent talent as fuel during battle.
Although meaning only to handle one super elite legion at a time, designated to burn away one elite talent, the most significant advantage of this talent lies not in solo encounters but in group battles.
Some super elites are so powerful that they cannot be dealt with by ordinary elite troops, like the White Horse. Its agility and Wind Rider, speed merely reflecting its external performance, the combined strength of two elite talents almost unbeatable on the plains, even the Military Spirit Legion can only eat dust.
But if encountering this elite unit of Parthia, directly designating to burn away agility, the White Horse is basically wasted, and this is not yet the most essential point.
"Show them our wrath!" Ardashir roars, slashing to kill a Roman in front.
Designated to offset the defensive talents in the elite talent of Roman Heavy Infantry, although the opponent remains terrifyingly sturdy, without defensive talents, the Parthian scimitars can now withstand the constant splattering attacks of the Rose Corps and slay the enemy before them.
The more crucial point is that if the previously massive elite Parthian army would have struggled to inflict damage on the Thirteen Roses Legion, now after Ardashir directly incinerates one elite talent of the Romans, the advantage of the Parthian army has fully manifested.
After all, this almost hundred thousand strong Parthian army led by Sassanid Fars are all elite with talents, perhaps unable to compare to some troops that have surpassed their limits, but definitely not completely outmatched against any single talent elite.
Thus, as Ardashir instantly activated his leadership of the main unit with the second elite talent, four Parthian elite units led by the Inner Qi Manifestation had long awaited, directly entering the Roman formation regardless of losses.
Almost at the next moment after Gilea loudly sworn, the Thirteen Roses Legion suffered an overwhelming attack that was impossible to resist.
The hatred spanning centuries between both sides, stationed in Judea, twice entering the Parthian Capital City, the Parthians’ powerless resistance finally exhibited its rightful strength this time.
"Full attack, even if you die, shatter the Eagle Emblem of the Thirteenth Legion! Do not seize the Eagle Emblem, destroy it so that the Romans permanently lose this pride and this troop they are proud of!" In almost the next instant, the command from Sassanid Fars spread across the battlefield, a command filled with exhilarating excitement.
Sassanid Fars, this veteran has been suppressing his inner madness, not telling anyone his goal is to completely annihilate the Roman Thirteenth Legion, not even leaving the Eagle Emblem for the Romans, letting this relic of Caesar become ashes of history.
Even his most beloved grandson, Sassanid Fars did not tell because he knew no one would believe him.
The Thirteen Roses Legion is almost the pride of the Roman Legions, strong on both offense and defense nearly invincible, achieving one victory after another since establishment, complete annihilation is something even Ardashir, this arrogant grandson himself, dare not imagine!
This is also the reason Sassanid Fars instructed the Han Army not to interfere; the Parthians must solve this problem themselves, without involving anyone else. Defeat, rout, complete annihilation are entirely different concepts.
Defeating the Thirteen Roses Legion, all Parthians know this is necessary, routing this is incredibly difficult, an elite army is hard to collapse, it would not collapse even in retreat.
As for complete annihilation, in world history whether Han Dynasty or Rome, completely annihilating reorganized native elite legions is extremely rare.
To know even when Li Ling was encircled by the Huns’ main forces, fought until they ran out of ammunition and food, finally over a hundred still managed to escape back to the Central Plains.
Therefore, if Sassanid Fars early on stated wanting to completely annihilate the Thirteen Roses Legion, perhaps more people would laugh than believe, victory does not equal complete annihilation.
However, now after five elite legions penetrated the Roman Thirteen Legion’s formation, Sassanid Fars no longer hides, furiously roaring out his long-held ambition.
All attacking Parthian elites hear this exhausted roar, pause inexplicably, then frantically launch an attack on the enemy before them with blades, with bodies, enduring the Romans for so many years, today smash their Roman pride!
Gilea furiously roars to command his elite, alas simultaneously suffers attacks from five directions, the defensive formation directly breaks open five huge gaps, the Parthian elite stubbornly withstand the Roman attacks, fiercely tearing apart the Roman formation, victory is just ahead.
"Change orders, block the Fourteenth Legion, don’t let that guy break in and join the Rose Corps, even if the blocking legion is wiped out, block them!" Sassanid Fars coldly watches the Fourteenth Legion rushing towards the Parthian main force.
"This road is closed!" Datis sneers, leading his unit directly to block in front of the Fourteenth Legion, followed by three more legions.
Benito coldly gazes at the four Parthian legions before him, all led by Inner Qi Manifestation, but there’s no point in saying anything now, the Thirteen Roses must be saved, even if Gilea is slain, the Thirteen Roses cannot be destroyed.
Thus without any superfluous words, directly adjusting his elite talent, like a steel torrent towards the Parthians blocking his way, unfortunately where once the Parthians would collapse upon contact with this move, this time they rigidly endured with tough attacks.
"Still want it like before? What a joke! Kill them!" Datis looks at the blood bursting from his hand, coldly staring at the leading Roman Inner Qi Manifestation charge, hatred is written all over his eyes, the feud between both sides can only end with one party’s death.
While the Fourteenth Legion encounters obstruction from four Parthian legions, the Legion Leader of the Fifteenth Legion vigorously commands the army to prevent Parthian elites infiltrating, ensuring the army’s retreat route stays clear to avoid disadvantageous retreat.
