Chapter 1059 Human Heart
"kill!"
The soldiers guarding Milan roared and killed the Macedonian elite who were out of shape due to their own coordinated movements.
When Macedonia's talent began to decline, even if the Macedonian soldiers wanted to fight back, they were unable to do so.
The old-fashioned and dull way of fighting also means rigidity, dogmatism and simplicity.
When he is in an advantageous position, it is stable and reliable, but when he is in a disadvantageous position, it is like dying in silence.
The spiral stance of Milan's guards frantically drove the bodies of the Macedonian elite. The soldiers holding large shields frequently went out of shape, and the attacks of the soldiers holding spears also frequently failed due to the distortion of the spiral stance.
Leonardo saw it all and was worried.
Babak gave up on burning the surrounding barbarian elites and chose to fight directly with hard power, then freed his hands to add the burning talent to the fourth eagle flag.
If it weren't for the fact that the Fourth Eagle Flag was a mixture of two legions, and the Scythian Royal Archer Corps had not shared a lot of talent loss with Macedonia, Macedonia would have been defeated by the Milan Guards by now.
However, even if the Scythian Royal Archers Corps shared half of the firepower, Macedonia was still in danger.
The talent of Spiral Stance is very powerful in bullying weak opponents.
In their heyday, Macedonian soldiers could ignore the distortion of their positions, but now they do not have this ability. In the spiral position, their movements are frequently distorted.
And it's not just the transformation of individuals, but the transformation of the entire legion. Not only are their talents declining, but even their coordination and organizational abilities are declining.
This decline, coupled with the counterattack of the Milanese guard, even caused the fearless Macedonians to waver.
The Macedonian Legion is not afraid of facing terrifying enemies. Even if the opponent has the power , they are fearless because they are all warriors who challenge terror.
But if the danger comes from their own weakness, even the tough hearts of Macedonia will inevitably begin to doubt themselves. If it were not for the old-fashioned dogmatic training that ensured their muscle memory, they would be defeated even faster.
"Damn it! It's too late!" Filippo could no longer suppress his anxiety as he looked at the Macedonian Army, which was in a slump and even had its front line pushed back .
"Damn, release the arrow, God bless you!"
Filippo gritted his teeth and gave the order coldly. In order to save Macedonia, he would accept being tried by the Senate afterwards . Scythia could not lose Macedonia.
With the protection of the Macedonian Legion, he was not worried at all that any legion would be able to break in within a short period of time. What he had to do now was to bring out the destructive power that the Scythian Royal Archers Corps should have.
Although he didn't like Leonardo, a fool, he knew very well where the honor of the Fourth Eagle Flag lay.
"Commander, they are our own people!" the adjutant stopped him anxiously.
The order Filippo gave was to shoot straight ahead, directly shooting through the Roman barbarians in front of him.
Shooting arrows at friendly forces is a taboo that cannot be made public, even if it is the Eagle Flag Legion against the Barbarian Legion.
The conflict between Roman citizens and Roman barbarians had already intensified. If Filippo did this now, it would most likely further intensify the conflict.
"Shut up and shoot!" Filippo interrupted the adjutant forcefully and gave the order directly.
Now that they have opened up the road, Macedonia at least has a chance to turn around and escape.
Anyway, the Sixth Triumph has arrived, so just treat it as if this defense zone was broken through by the Milan Guards. Anyway, if they cooperate with the Sixth Triumph, they will definitely be able to suppress the Milan Guards, or just kill them directly and bury them with these barbarians.
All the Scythian soldiers were stunned, but Filippo had only two requirements when selecting archers. One was to obey the orders of superiors, and the other was not to be afraid of death. Therefore, faced with this unreasonable order, all the archers did not think much about it. They directly drew their bows and shot a large number of arrows at the barbarians in front of them.
"Swish!" A rain of arrows fell in unison, and a large group of barbarians fell to the ground.
Although he was well prepared, Filippo was inexplicably anxious when he saw a group of barbarians dying under a rain of arrows. However, just when he was trying his best to suppress his anxiety, he suddenly heard an order and his face lit up with joy.
"Shoot, don't worry about the number of arrows, shoot them quickly!" Filippo was delighted when he heard this, and without saying anything else, he gave the military order again.
"Macedonia has been saved, but there will be trouble afterwards!" Penelence looked at Severus with a wry smile.
Just now, Severus actually ordered the Fifth Skylark and the Fourteenth Combination to cover up Filippo's actions, directly distorting the light and shadow, and forcibly twisting the direction of the rain of arrows to the Parthian side.
Although they were all shot in the back, it would be reasonable to put the blame on the Parthian Special Legion.
"The price is a bit high!" Although Penilence could understand Severus's attempt to win people's hearts, the price he paid was obviously heavy.
Of course, I am referring to the cost of this battle. If the outcome of the war was not considered, Penelence would not even blink an eye if the death of these barbarians alone could bring back Macedonia.
But the price of rescuing Macedonia was that a section of the defense line was broken, which was a bit too heavy.
It was tragic in every sense of the word. Filippo felt that he and the Sixth Triumph could suppress the Milanese guards, which was indeed true, but the other Parthians were not dead, so how could they not seize this opportunity to break through?
He also took back his previous words. Filippo had a sense of the overall situation, but there was one thing: he lacked consideration when it came to his own losses.
The reason why Parthia was suppressed was because of his arrangements and targeting. When the targeting was broken, Parthia was not a puppet that could be manipulated by him.
However, Penilus shook his head. The order was given by Severus himself, and it involved barbarians and eagle flags, so it was understandable that he made such a choice.
Moreover, Severus had sufficient military vision. This order did not cause any damage to the overall situation. At most, it accelerated the pace of Parthia's advance, which was still under control.
"Your Majesty, risking your life is not what a monarch should do," Penilence advised earnestly.
Courage is courage, winning people's hearts is winning people's hearts, but it's better to avoid such willful behavior.
In other words, Penelunus had served Commodus, and his tolerance for monarchs was far beyond that of ordinary people. After all, he had served such a bad monarch as Commodus, so how could he be worse than Commodus?
This level of willfulness is nothing.
"After all, he is a hero of the Roman Empire. I cannot bear to watch him die without helping him!" Severus also understood that his order had caused Penilence a lot of trouble, and he felt a little embarrassed.
"Ah..." Penilence sighed.
"Order the 31st, 32nd, and 33rd Legions to begin moving forward, order the Macedonian Legion to withdraw from the battlefield, and order the Scythian Royal Archers to cooperate with the 6th Triumphal to suppress Babak's Burning Legion!"
Penelence reluctantly began to clean up Severus's willfulness. Fortunately, the mess was not very big and could be repaired.
"Idiot, retreat quickly!" Filippo shot through all the barbarians behind Macedonia, and then rained arrows on the heads of the Milan guards.
Many Milanese guards were so focused on dealing with the Macedonian soldiers that they failed to use the spiral stance to protect themselves and were instantly shot through by the rain of arrows.
Even though they opened up the spiral formation, many soldiers were not properly protected and were killed directly.
Relying on the extended power of archery, the Scythian archers, who barely reached the power of an eight-stone bow, fired shot after shot to cover the retreat of the Macedonian phalanx.
There is nothing much to say. The spiral force field is indeed very strong, but high-powered arrows cannot be deflected easily.
However, after the Milanese guards gave up chasing the Macedonian soldiers and stood in place in formation, with the spiral positions connected into one, the arrows of the Scythian archers were of no use to them.
Macedonia was weakened, and Scythia was no exception. The dimensionality reduction attack of the three-talented Burning Legion was really a huge pressure for the Fourth Eagle Flag.
Kirkuk could only watch the remnants of the Macedonian Legion slip away, gritting his teeth in hatred, but he could only make a gesture of wiping his neck to Leonardo.
Leonardo was so angry that he was fuming, but he had to endure it. There were less than a thousand soldiers left in the Macedonian Legion. Even though he wanted to fight Kirkuk to the death, he had to endure it at this time.
"Well done! Kirkuk! Leave it to me next!"
Babak laughed and threw his opponent aside, then strode across the formation of Milan guards with the Burning Guards and rushed directly towards the front line torn open by Rome itself.
Filippo's judgment was correct. The cooperation between Scythia and the Sixth Triumph could indeed suppress the Milan guards and even send them to the sky.
But just as Peniluns expected, the Parthians were not dead. Attolamei led the Parthian divine cavalry, threw away their bows and arrows, picked up scimitars, and rushed into the elite barbarians to take over Babak's position.
Babak doesn't need any talent to defeat these elite barbarians, and so can his Parthian Divine Cavalry.
Atratome's Parthian cavalry cut into the gaps between the Roman elite like butterflies flying through flowers, and the entire legion turned into a pale sword light.
Although the Parthian Divine Cavalry chose the path of archers, they are a military soul corps after all. They can still crush the barbarians' double-talented elite by distorting reality with their will.
The pale blade light, carrying the will of the Parthian Divine Knights, had almost formed an indestructible blade aura, and wherever the blade passed, everything was cut in half.
If Parthia had chosen the path of light cavalry, then perhaps they would have taken a similar path as Guan Yu, cutting off all paths to a failed future.
But there are no ifs. In order to achieve the military spirit, they chose the path of archers. There was no other reason, it was just because this path was easier and the losses in battle would be smaller.
Almost all of the elite backbone of the melee cavalry were used to fill the losses of the Holy Fallen Cavalry and the Mongolian Iron Cavalry. If Atratome also chose the path of melee cavalry, the gap would be too big.
Even if the Military Soul can replenish reserve personnel faster, facing the situation in Rome, the replenishment speed may not keep up with the consumption speed.
After all, casualties are inevitable in close combat, especially in such a fierce battlefield, where the speed of losses is so fast that it is unpredictable.
Therefore, Atratome chose the path of cavalry archers for Parthia, also to strengthen Parthia's long-range strength. After all, they can perform better in defending the city.
But whether they are one thousand to ten thousand, they are still the Military Soul Legion. The ability to distort reality with their will alone is enough to crush these ordinary double-talented Roman elites to the ground.
Then Babak passed Milan's guards and rushed towards the gap.
The Sixth Triumph can stop Milan's guards, but it can't stop the Burning Legion, especially the Burning Legion under the protection of Milan's guards.
The Spiral Stand alone was enough to destroy most of Scythia's strength. It was pure dreaming for the Sixth Triumph to stop the Burning Legion.
It’s not that Penilence looks down on Achino, but his strength is there.
"Roman, die!"
Babak's roar spread in all directions, and the guards beside him seemed to be infected by that power and burst into anger, erupting with a momentum that moved the entire battlefield.
On the battlefield between Parthia and Rome, the most powerful decisive battle legions finally stepped onto the battlefield.
"This legion is in some trouble!"
Penilence sighed. Babak's legion mainly focused on point breakthroughs. Its only weakness might be long-range attacks. However, with the cooperation of Milan's guards, Babak's legion was indeed a tricky thing to deal with.
In other words, every decisive battle unit placed in the right position is a tricky thing.
The three-talent decisive battle army, the Burning Legion, the third idealistic talent, the final manifestation of the Parthian unified talent, burns everything of the opponent.
As a super elite who emerged from the Parthian unified talent legion, Babak possesses effects that are far more dangerous than the other three talents.
The Burning Legion was able to call upon the unified talents of the entire Parthian army to burn everything to ashes.
It was no longer a simple matter of canceling out talents; the soldiers of the Burning Legion were almost burning at this moment.
It represents Babak's brilliant will and the ultimate embodiment of his belief in the Parthian Empire's rebirth from the ashes.
Reborn from the flames, all the injuries on his body, as long as they were not fatal attacks, were quickly recovered in the rising flames at this moment. And then the talent that was originally just a burning talent, seemed to be truly burning under Babak's stimulation.
The flame wrapped around the weapon is not real, but for soldiers with weak willpower, it is more terrifying than real flame.
Although the Sixth Triumph was half a legion of will and had resistance to fire, it could only defend itself against Babak's Burning Legion and was beaten back step by step.
The will-transforming quality that they were so proud of was completely restrained by the flames wrapped around the weapons of the Burning Legion soldiers.
The combined attack of physical and will had a more terrifying effect when the Burning Legion had an overall advantage in will and quality, causing a blow to the Sixth Triumph that was like real damage.
Penilence and his men had taken into account Parthia's burning talent and therefore prepared three to four Eagle Flag Legions.
