Chapter 1068 The Last Chip
As the Holy Fallen Cavalry broke through the defenses of the First Auxiliary Legion, Penilence knew that today's battle would be a desperate one, and Rome might really lose today.
"Your Majesty, prepare to leave!" Penelence took a deep breath, drew out his sword, and planned to fight to the death with the Parliament Guards to stop Ardashir for a while.
Both the Senate Guard and the Roman Emperor are important choices, but if Penelence were to choose, he would still choose Emperor Paul Ma.
Besides, no matter how weak the Parliament Guards are, they are still the military soul corps after all.
As long as we can hold on for a while and wait for the first auxiliary, the second Trajan and the 30th Unbeaten to come over, it will be fine.
As long as the structure of the Parliament Guard is not completely destroyed, it will be easy to replenish the troops as the Military Soul Corps.
Severus was unwilling to leave, and there was no fear in his heart at all.
This little pressure could not overwhelm him at all. He even drew his weapon and planned to fight to the death with Penilence.
But he also knew that if Ardashir really succeeded, it would be a huge blow to Rome.
Just as Severus drew his sword and was about to say something, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Palmiro, well done! You deserve a reward!"
Penilence also noticed this and put the sword he had drawn back in.
"Palmiro, this guy finally learned his lesson. There won't be any more trouble now!" Penilence and Severus both laughed.
The First Auxiliary Legion did indeed bring considerable pressure to Ardashir, so much so that he was unable to detect the abnormality of his target in the first place.
Palmiro used light and shadow to create a false target like a mirage, which was deflected at an angle of about thirty to forty degrees.
After successfully allowing Ardashir to lead the Holy Meteor Riders to break through the defense line, they deviated from their true direction.
Originally this was just a little trick to waste Ardashir's time, but at this moment, it came in handy.
What Ardashir lacked most at this moment was time.
"No, not this way!" After Ardashir rushed a short distance, he immediately sensed something was wrong.
He was clearly moving towards his goal, but his intuition told him that he was deviating from it.
In just a moment, Ardashir believed his intuition and realized that his eyes had deceived him, or that someone had made what he saw no longer real.
"Fifth Skylark!"
Ardashir's face turned ugly instantly. This visual error made him react in an instant. No wonder the Fifth Skylark did not come out to intercept him before. It turned out that he was waiting for him here?
The Holy Fallen Knight had unparalleled combat power and pierced through the first auxiliary known as the Wall of Sighs, but unexpectedly, he would fall to the Fifth Skylark.
"Everyone, follow me in this direction!"
Ardashir chose a direction based on his intuition and adjusted his route directly.
Palmiro, who saw this scene with the help of light and shadow, suddenly felt his face darken. Even though his vision was deceived, he actually found the right direction with his intuition!
You know, although he can deceive the sight, the Fifth Skylark can also perform invisible sneak attacks, but that is something only the Fifth Skylark can do.
The light and shadow deception cast on friendly forces can be seen through directly if they are close.
"Severus, prepare to die..."
Ardashir loudly declared that victory was about to come, but the next second, a series of dense arrows fell from the sky, directly interrupting Ardashir's declaration.
"The remnants of the Fourth Eagle Flag?" Ardashir glanced in the direction where the rain of arrows was coming from, snorted with disdain, and continued to ride forward.
The defeated soldiers had not even recovered their strength, and such a weak rain of arrows could not have any effect on the Holy Fallen Knights at all.
"Ardashir, stop being so arrogant!" Camillo's manic voice was deafening, and Ardashir's face turned dark in an instant.
The vision deviation modified by the Fifth Skylark was ultimately a waste of his time.
The time gained by quickly killing the First Auxiliary Legion was successfully wiped out by the Fifth Skylark.
"You're finally here." Penilence finally felt relieved at this time.
The first, second, and thirtieth legions joined forces, which was equivalent to a siege by five legions with three talents each. We couldn't let the Holy Fallen Knights make a comeback.
Miracles were not unheard of in Rome before.
Penilence admitted that although Rome was now large, it did not have a single legion that could compete with the Holy Fallen Knights.
However, the Miracle Legion is not invincible. The undefeated Trajan who tore apart the soul of the Parthian army with his bare hands sounds fierce, but in fact he also lost a large number of troops.
Moreover, they had all seen the battle just now. If Ardashir led the Holy Fallen Knights and the First Auxiliary Legion to fight to the death, it was hard to say who would be wiped out first in the end.
After all, the First Auxiliary Legion is a top-level legion with three talents that exceeds the standard in number. Even if it is two against one, it is more than enough. As long as the Holy Fallen Knights cannot kill the soldiers of the First Auxiliary with one sword, the First Auxiliary soldiers' dying counterattack will definitely achieve a one-for-one exchange.
The second Trajan and the 30th are undefeated, although they are a little weaker than the first auxiliary.
But it doesn’t matter. These two legions both have eagle flags and enjoy the protection of the empire’s will. The Holy Fallen Knights still cannot kill them with one blow.
Moreover, these two legions are not like the first auxiliary legion, whose state has no ups and downs. With the support of the Parliament Guard, their strength can be greatly improved, making it more difficult for the Holy Fallen Cavalry to fight.
If the soldiers of the First Auxiliary Legion could rely on pure strength to kill the Holy Fallen Knights who were about to enter a miracle,
Then the Second Trajan and the Thirty Undefeated can rely on super-fast reactions and skills to dance on the edge of the knife with the Holy Meteorite Knight.
For a moment, the Holy Fallen Knights not only failed to kill the two legions, but also failed to cause many casualties . Instead, they were dragged into an endless quagmire.
Alessandro, seeing hope, walked a little faster, and it was a sad moment to talk about it.
Everything else is easy to deal with, except for these short legs, which is a pain they can never erase.
It’s not that they don’t know how to ride horses, but that the Romans have not found mounts that can support them. If they exert force subconsciously, a warhorse may be killed suddenly.
In the end, it could only be left unresolved, and then replaced the Emperor's Guard as the last line of defense to protect the Roman emperor.
"In the end, Parthia still walked into the grave you dug for them. It turns out that your command ability is the strongest in Rome. I am not as good as you!"
Severus looked at the fight between Ardashir and Laclile in the light and shadow, then looked at the scene where Camillus and the Second Trajan were fighting to the death, and finally he sighed.
Despite many twists and turns, in the end, all of Parthia's super-elite legions were pinned down, and the Parthian army became a trapped beast. Victory was within reach.
The history of the rise and fall of the Roman Empire unfolded in full swing, and then looking at the mass of unknown things, Penelence was overjoyed. It turned out that it could be recorded. As for what to interpret, as long as it could be recorded, he would be able to interpret something sooner or later.
"Haha, I didn't expect that in the end, Parthia would give us such a big gift. It's really joyful!" Penelunus and Severus chatted with a smile.
The front battlefield has entered its final stage, and a wave of Parthian troops broke out, as mentioned before, in order to bite the Roman army.
However, when Ardashir failed to use this opportunity to kill Severus, Parthia's previous outburst became the clarion call that accelerated his own death.
The Parthian army, which had originally maintained a complete front line, was directly divided into two by the Roman army and completely cut off during the decline period after the outbreak.
If it weren't for Babak's Burning Legion and Atratome's Parthian Knights, Parthia would have been defeated by now.
In Penelence's view, as long as they encircled and annihilated Ardashir, Parthia's last breath would be gone, and Rome could directly swallow up this most prosperous Parthia in one go to strengthen itself.
Even if he was at a disadvantage in the subsequent wrangling with the Han Dynasty, it would definitely not be a loss.
"It seems that the Tenth Knight Legion has started to friction again!" Severus suddenly said with dissatisfaction.
"It doesn't have much impact. The outcome has been decided. Let them go. They'll be there soon anyway!" Penilence was in a good mood, so he took the opportunity to say a few good words to the Tenth Knight.
He actually understood what Severus meant, but he didn't want to respond. This knight in the Tenth Knight Legion was a symbol of status and position, so it was better not to provoke him.
Moreover, the Tenth Knight has been in a slump for many years, since the years when Augustus took office, and it has become a historical problem until now.
As for the Tenth Legion, after seeing through the light and shadow that the Holy Fallen Knights were surrounded, they immediately changed their high-speed march and returned to their rotten traveling mode.
"Don't panic, don't panic. I didn't expect the Holy Fallen Knights to be so powerful. They are more powerful than the undefeated Trajan back then, right?"
Camp leader Vincenzo recalled the killing power of the Holy Fallen Rider who had killed a kid with one sword, and he was quite impressed.
"When we saw the undefeated Trajan, he had already been in decline for a while! It's normal that he's not as strong as he is!" Virgilio sighed.
Miracles are not so easy to maintain. You have to fight against heaven and earth all the time, and you will be thrown away if you are not careful.
Just like them now, they can only live a miserable life. The Tenth Knight of their ancestor was so powerful and majestic that even if he was excluded, he was still a well-deserved Roman bully.
Otherwise, why is it that only the tenth eagle flag has all knights, or the so-called all nobles?
During the Egyptian rebellion, the Thirteen Roses protected Caesar and were beaten half to death. The Tenth led his men to rush forward and chopped all the rebels to the ground.
During this period of history, there were a total of nine Eagle Flag Legions that fought to the death with the Tenth Legion, and in the end all of them were buried by the Tenth.
Are you kidding me, traitor?
Now open your eyes and look whose grave these three words are written on.
Relying on its powerful strength and unparalleled battle record, the Senate was forced to recognize the identity of the Tenth Army of All Nobles. The Tenth Eagle Flag was changed from the original Tenth Combined Legion to the Tenth Knight Legion.
After Caesar and Octavian died, the Tenth Knight completely started to lose his momentum.
There was no way out. The whole of Rome was defeated by the Tenth Knight, and the one who came to power later was not a descendant of Augustus. They, the Tenth Knight, had no intention of contributing anything, and then they started to live their lives in vain.
If you just muddle through life, life will eventually mess you up.
No one knew when it started, but the Tenth Knight had already fallen to the level of three talents, and could no longer enter Miracle.
But they don’t care. They are all nobles and just want to get by. So three talents is fine.
Up to now, when they encounter three talents, they can fight with the military soul, but if they want to tear the entire Eagle Flag Legion of the Roman Empire apart with their bare hands like they did before, they'd better forget it.
The elite combat troops, just two or three of them would be enough to give them a hard time.
"The Holy Meteorite Knight seems to have started to slide. After all, it is not his own strength. However, isn't the speed of this slide a bit too fast!" Vincenzo looked at the Holy Meteorite Knight in the light and shadow strangely.
"They've lost hope. That's the problem with willpower legions! Once they lose hope and start to doubt themselves, their combat effectiveness will begin to decline significantly."
Virgilio said casually that their Tenth Knight was about the same. According to the records of their ancestors, the Tenth Knight began to decline as soon as Caesar died.
By the time Octavian came to power, the Tenth Knight was actually not as strong as before.
Of course, even if it was not that strong, it still crushed the other Eagle Flag Legions in those days.
"Wait, why do I feel like something is not right?" Virgilio suddenly stared into the light and shadow.
Ardashir actually gathered a legion of attacks and fired them into the sky, as if sending a signal.
"No way, Parthia has a backup plan?" Vincenzo scratched his head. Wasn't it said that the Roman Empire crushed Parthia? Why does it feel like Parthia crushed the Roman Empire?
These endless back-up plans, are they really that exaggerated?
Similarly, Penelence looked at the signal sent by Ardashir in confusion. Could it be that Parthia had a backup plan?
Should we say that it is worthy of being Rome’s greatest enemy, as it is so strong.
"Alas, it has finally come to this!" Vogelgis V looked at the signal in the sky with a little disappointment.
Ever since the Second Trajan and the Thirty-ninth Invincible withdrew from the front line, he had a bad feeling, but he didn't expect it to come true in the end.
He knew that Ardashir must have tried his best. He just hated that if Temujin and his men could be of one mind with Parthia and Jin Wushu had not died in vain, their chances of winning would be greater and Ardashir's burden would be lighter.
But having come this far, there is nothing more to say.
Ardashir was fighting bravely on the front line, so how could they be reluctant to part with the bottles and jars in their hands?
"Babak, Atratome, get ready, give Ardashir the final help!" Vogygis V gave the final order in a straightforward manner.
"Yes!" Babak and Atratome nodded silently after hearing the order.
They all knew what this order meant. Temujin had repeatedly emphasized the importance of imperial will to the empire, and they had also actually felt the difference before and after having imperial will.
But like gamblers who have lost their minds to gambling, they have no way out and have to put their last chip on the line.
