Chapter 1057: Reluctant Roar
The horse's head was blown up, and the soldiers on the chariot flew high into the air and fell to the ground, turning into a pool of mud.
The chariot army, which had been weakened layer by layer, finally stopped advancing after colliding with the Iron Giant.
"Puff!" Africanus spat out a mouthful of blood. The recoil force of the head-on collision with the cows and horses made his internal organs vibrate.
If the chariot's power had not been weakened, he might have been killed by this impact.
"If you want to kill me, you'd better die first!" Upal's eyes were fierce, and he stabbed Africanus' chest with the spear in his hand with all his strength.
"Old man, just lie down in your coffin obediently!"
Africanus, whose chest was pierced by a spear, also punched Uppal with a fierce look in his eyes.
"puff!"
Upal flew high into the sky, and the force of nearly several tons completely unbalanced the strength in his body, and his internal organs were shattered.
If he was still young, he could continue to play, but now, he is old.
"Parthia!"
Upal fell to the ground and looked at the sky unwillingly. He only had his last breath left.
"You old thing, you should just lie down quietly!" Africanus looked at Upal lying on the ground, holding his chest and sneering.
He avoided the vital points, so this little bit of damage was not a big deal to him.
Even without treatment, it will probably heal on its own after a while.
There was no anger or rebuttal. Upal was very clear that he had completed his task perfectly and successfully fired the first shot of the counterattack.
"I'm so unwilling to accept this!" A feeling of unwillingness and anger flashed through Upal's mind. He seemed to see those soldiers who died on the charge. They were equally unwilling to accept this.
"Unwilling?" Africanus sneered, then suddenly realized that Upal didn't speak.
Endless anger was burning in Upal's dead heart, and the fire in his heart was burning madly.
"Old general!" Voggis V felt the surging flames. Upal, who originally had almost no flames on his body, now had a flame burning in his heart that was not inferior to anyone else.
"I'm here to lend you a hand!"
Vogyges V mobilized the raging and burning flames above the Parthian army, and a stream of light merged into Upal's body, and the materialized flame began to burn from Upal's body.
The secret technique from the Huns, the secret method from the Empire of the Undead, and the forbidden technique that allows life to be relived.
"What happened?" Upal got up from the ground, he didn't know what happened to him.
Illusory flames burned on his body, his flesh and blood were melting, his soul was trembling, and although only a skeleton was left, he still possessed strength that was no less than when he was alive.
"Can't you be reborn?" Upal looked at the skeletons that were crawling up one after another around him and began to laugh. Although he had no organs to speak, the vibration of the soul fire still made all the soldiers feel that kind of laughter.
"I don't know what happened, but..."
"Let's fight!"
Upal knocked Africanus down with one punch. He had never felt so good at this moment, as if he had returned to his youth.
"Undead?" Africanus climbed up from the ground, his eyes full of surprise.
"Hahahaha, I didn't expect that after the angels, there are also the undead!" Africanus became even more excited. "Come, let me see the power of the undead!"
If they are barbarians or ordinary Roman citizens, the undead may have a negative impact on them.
Although Rome had the power to kill gods, the dead were also an ominous symbol to them.
But the Eighth Eagle Flag is different. Under the influence of Africanus, they consider themselves to be the descendants of mythological bloodline and giants. The undead can only surprise them.
After all, angels, gods, and giants have all appeared, so the appearance of mythological commoners like the undead is nothing to be surprised about.
"Let's fight!"
The giants and the undead were fighting each other, and neither side felt anything yet. The fight was full of passion, but the impact on others was far more than that.
Penilence, who observed through the light and shadow, immediately felt the situation was difficult.
If every Parthian had the ability to die and stand up again, the difficulty of this war would increase almost exponentially.
If it was 30-70 before, now it has been infinitely pulled to 50-50.
Of course, the biggest trouble is still the Han Dynasty. They must ensure that after defeating Parthia, they still have the ability to defeat the Han Dynasty.
Defeating two Parthias was already extremely difficult.
If the Han Dynasty intervened again and fought against three empires at the same time, even Penilence would really start to panic at this moment.
"Send someone to ask Pope Cyprian for advice!" Penelence took a deep breath. Thanks to his son, he was quite familiar with mythology. He immediately thought of the angels' restraint over the undead in mythology.
Moreover, during the last battle in Brahma, he had also seen the strong men on the side of the undead. The other side had come from across the ocean, and their strength should not be underestimated.
Could it be that Parthia was not only colluding with the Huns, but also with the undead from another continent?
Penilence had a headache because there were too many variables.
Severus, who had been observing silently, also frowned. Any legion that could be resurrected would be a rogue legion.
Not to mention that the entire enemy army possesses such capabilities.
Just like the super heavy infantry under Gao Lan, they can disgust most legions by resurrecting them.
"Are you still sure?" Severus asked suddenly.
"We have six, they have four!" Penelence answered without hesitation. Even though Parthia had come up with so many surprises, Rome still had the absolute upper hand.
Just like after the Upal Chariot Legion turned into undead, it certainly brought a great impact to people, but it was still pinned to the ground by the Giant Legion.
After all, they are the reincarnated undead of the chariot legion. Even the war oxen and horses have become undead. But how can a chariot legion without speed possibly be a match for the giant guards of the same level?
"Then go ahead and do it, I'll take responsibility for everything!" Severus' order surprised Penilence.
Penelunus was surprised by Severus' courage. This time, Severus was not only risking the throne, but also his own life.
"Yes!" Penilence replied firmly.
Since Severus treated him with sincerity, he must not let Severus down.
"Report, Pope Cyprian sent a message that they can add the attribute of holy light to the sun in the sky to weaken the undead or even drive them away!"
The news brought back by the messenger made both of them breathe a sigh of relief.
Although every general is basically a gambler, who doesn't want to win safely?
"It seems that the treatment of the church needs further consideration!" Severus thought silently. He had originally planned to get rid of the church after this battle, but now it seems that the church still has greater value to be exploited.
"Huh?" Guo Hao, who was far away, was looking at the sun in the sky. As another kind of sun god, Guo Hao keenly noticed that the properties of the sun in the sky had changed.
There were some inexplicable changes in properties, as if a layer of filter was covering it, making the emitted light completely different from before.
"Is it possible?"
Guo Hao had an idea , and his will came to the sun above Rome through the light. He found that this thing and the Roman army were two separate individuals. In other words, he could directly control this thing.
"Let me see, light and shadow manipulation..."
Guo Hao started to operate with the big ball of light in the sky, and then projected the scenes on the battlefields of Rome and Parthia directly into the Han army tent by manipulating the refraction of light.
"I seem to have found the key to light and shadow manipulation!" Guo Hao laughed heartily.
"Congratulations, General!" Everyone in the big tent congratulated him. They had originally only been waiting for the results, but now they could watch the live broadcast.
In this way, we can gain a better understanding of the Roman and Parthian legions.
What could be better than witnessing the fighting power of these legions with one's own eyes to increase one's understanding?
Guo Hao smiled and waved his hands. He was sitting on a treasure trove without realizing it.
They have always been bound by their own thinking and their wills have been distorted. So in the hearts of the Han people, shouldn't the three-legged golden crow representing the sun be the one who understands light the best?
It has been radiating light all along, but this time it broke through the constraints of its thinking. Isn't controlling light the most basic operation for the Three-legged Golden Crow?
With just one thought, Guo Hao grasped the essence of light and shadow operation. Although he is the only one who can use it now, at least he has achieved a breakthrough from zero.
"Undead? Giant?" But when he saw the scene projected by the light and shadow, he thought for a moment that he had made a mistake in the operation.
"General, that group of giants should be the Eighth Eagle Flag of Rome. The soldiers of the Iron Pagoda have fought against them before! As for the undead... they should be the Parthian army..."
Yue Fei gave a brief report, but he was also confused when it came to the undead. He had never heard that Parthia had an undead army.
"It should still be related to the Huns. These things existed during the battle in the northern border!" Ju Su also frowned.
"Well, they probably used the Xiongnu as a bridge to exchange their country's secret technology with the undead for some technology!"
Li Ru frowned. It was indeed not so easy to infiltrate an empire. Vogelges V was not a simple guy.
None of the seven nobles that he and Jia Xu infiltrated and lobbied knew about this.
"However, the Roman Church also has countermeasures. This kind of light can have a great restraint on the undead. Let the Taoists study it carefully!"
A ball of holy light appeared in Guo Hao's other hand. After he touched the key of light, he could copy basically everything related to light.
This derivative ability was a big surprise for Guo Hao.
Under the light, the Upal Legion, which was already at a disadvantage, quickly fell into defeat again.
"Hahahaha, old man, if we can crush you once, we can crush you a second time!"
Africanus laughed wildly. Although he didn't know what was going on, he had no doubt that they would win again.
Upal waved his spear silently. He could feel that the light coming down from the sky was making their bodies begin to slow down.
"I lost again!" Upal sighed and mobilized all his strength.
"Even if I lose, I will drag you down with me to be buried with me!"
Upal gathered all his strength into his spear and shot it straight at Africanus who had no time to react.
After releasing all his strength, Upal fell heavily to the ground. He didn't even have the strength to look at his own results.
He knew very well that every second he delayed would make him weaker, so he simply burst out all he had and delivered the final blow.
"Win, Parthia!"
With that last thought, Upal fell into eternal darkness. The illusory flame was pulled out of his body and returned to the sky.
"I can't dodge!" Africanus was scared to death and twisted his body desperately, but he could only watch the spear pierce his vitals.
He had a premonition that if he was hit, he would be dead.
"Dang!" A cross spear deflected the spear, and the spear brushed past Africanus' body and pierced the body of an undead.
Africanus, who survived the disaster, was gasping for breath. The moment of life and death made him see the reel of life.
He thought of what Penilence had taught him: never let your guard down until your enemy takes his last breath.
He used to not take it seriously, but after a trip to the gates of hell, he clearly understood why Penilence taught him those knowledge.
"Thank you!" Africanus sincerely thanked his savior Sulinalari, the strongest Roman who pulled him back from the brink of death.
Speaking of which, Sulinalari raised his eyebrows. Penilence deliberately put Africanus in the front and then put himself on this side. Everything seemed reasonable.
But Sulinalari was too sensitive to the arrangements and clearly perceived Penilence's thoughts.
Penelence was really worried about his son Africanus, but for the sake of their friendship, he just went along with it.
"Your strength is too weak. You need to practice. No one will be able to save you next time!" Sulinalari silently retracted the cross spear. Peniluns was also his friend. He couldn't really watch Africanus die like this.
"Yes!" Africanus opened his mouth and finally nodded.
Penilence also said the same thing to him, but he didn't take it seriously at the time and devoted himself to the development of the giant army.
And now, he truly felt the weight of these words.
"Well done, old friend!" Penilence cast the light and shadow and saw this scene, with a smile on his face.
Africanus was too rebellious, but it was also related to the lack of companionship in his childhood. When he grew up and wanted to make up for it, he had become completely rebellious and would not listen to him at all.
He could only use this method to crack down on Africanus and make him grow better.
On the battlefield, only strength can guarantee safety, and he doesn't want to hear that day that Africanus died at the hands of others.
While he can still fight and command, the best way to train him is to do so.
