Chapter 1075: Caesar cheats manually
After watching the battle between Lu Bu and the four archangels, Philippe finally understood why Penilence and others had such high praise for Wen Hou of Han.
The other party is not a demigod at all, but a real god.
One against four, completely having the upper hand, Philippe had only seen a similar scene with Su.
Different from Su's leisurely and relaxed manner, Wenhou Lu Bu showed a completely crushing attitude.
You have to know that the four archangels are no longer fake creatures that just walked out of mythology. They are also making progress, and the battlefield is undoubtedly the place where people can make the best progress.
They are definitely not inferior to any demigod in Rome now. Even if they are not opponents of masters like Penelence, they can definitely hold out for a long time under the cloud.
However, at this moment, in Frederick's eyes, the four archangels were like small sailboats drifting in a storm, which could be overturned by the wind and rain at any time.
However, this was only a microcosm of their overall disadvantage. Everywhere he looked, he saw the same situation as the four archangels.
He had absolutely no way out. The opponent's command seemed to be able to predict the future. Every order he gave was like putting his neck on the knife edge of the opponent.
"No match at all?" Cyprian asked softly.
Even though he was not very proficient in military affairs, he could see the problem at this moment.
"We are no match at all. Whether it's the commander, officers, soldiers, equipment, or formation, they are all superior to us. It's as if..."
Frederick shook his head bitterly. The other party's ability far exceeded his, which made him feel like he was looking up to a mountain.
"It's like facing the elite of the Roman Empire, right?"
Cyprian sighed. The five Eagle Flag Legions and these barbarians who had experienced the baptism of blood and fire had led him to make a wrong judgment.
Originally, I thought they had the strength to compete with Rome. Even if they were inferior, they had the capital to negotiate with Rome at the table, so that his abilities could be fully utilized.
Unexpectedly, it was just a delusion. After encountering a real elite army, the barbarians were instantly beaten back to their original form.
"Swoosh!" A hand-held halberd shot out from a distance.
Cyprian frowned, his mental power fluctuated slightly. Although Rome, the church and the Central Plains advisers did not follow the same path, Rome did develop mental power.
Therefore, the long-range attacks that were meaningless to the Central Plains strategists were also meaningless to the wise men of Rome.
The hand-held halberd fell to the ground, with a letter that had been warmed by internal energy stuck on it.
Cyprian hesitated slightly, then used his mental power to open the letter.
After reading it, Cyprian was slightly stunned, but then nodded slowly and shattered the letter with his mental power.
"Frederick, give the order to retreat. Don't let the fearless blood flow endlessly. The Lord's believers cannot all die in such a place."
Frederick's face darkened, but he soon understood the meaning behind Cyprian's order.
At the same time, this is also a multiple-choice question. Whether to choose the church or the emperor, this question is once again placed before Frederick.
But soon, Frederick found that he seemed to have no choice. Without the church, he would be rootless. Even if he squeezed into Severus's core circle, it would be meaningless because he did not have enough power and might become cannon fodder.
"I understand, Your Holiness!" Frederick chose the church.
"It's the acting Pope! Frederick, I'm just an acting Pope!" Cyprian smiled.
Cyprian hated being pushed into danger, so he decided to step back once again and help others come to the fore, just as he had done before, hiding behind the scenes.
Even when forced into dangerous situations, he would let others take the blame while he would hide behind the scenes and stir up trouble.
Cyprian was very satisfied with Frederick's choice, so he chose to support Frederick.
Philippe felt relieved. He had made the right bet. Even though he was a puppet being dominated, he had finally entered the circle of top aristocrats.
After going around in circles, unexpectedly, he ended up back at this position.
"Give the order, Your Holiness Pope Frederick. Our believers should not be wasted in such a place!"
Cyprian knew that after this incident, Rome would most likely take the opportunity to regain some power.
The church still has value, so it will not be kicked out directly.
This is politics, the product of mutual compromise, although it is indeed a sad thing to lose the power you have gained.
But compared to Christianity at the beginning, they now have a good starting point, and he is confident that he can win the challenges that follow.
"What did Military Advisor Li do?" Yue Fei looked at Li Ru with some confusion as he watched the church army retreat after sounding the horn.
"It's just a small strategy to attack the heart of the enemy. General Yue, don't worry about it. Let our army take over Taixifeng now." Li Ru smiled slightly, but this smile was creepy no matter how you looked at it.
Yue Fei looked at Li Ru deeply. He had to admit that this cold-blooded strategist was terrible in winning people's hearts and minds. He easily changed the course of a war.
Although he could win, it would still take some time, but Li Ru's strategy of winning over their opponents allowed them to overcome this time limit.
They now have more time to plunder in Ctesiphon.
…
"Report! Urgent news from the front line, the church has been defeated, and the Han Dynasty is heading towards Ctesiphon!"
Benito received Frederick's news first. He did not dare to be careless and personally delivered the news to the central army.
"Oh no!" Penelence's heart skipped a beat. He had realized the problem. They had been distracted too much by Parthia.
"It's just a matter of one move!" Severus also frowned. The Han Dynasty was going to pick the fruits of the trees they had planted with great effort.
The situation was completely different from what they had expected before the war. The biggest variable was the rise of Parthia. The emergence of three miracle legions blocked Rome's victory.
To the extent that now they are unable to grasp the benefits that are about to come.
"Order Niger and Arnubis to proceed, obstruct the Han army, and plunder Ctesiphon!" Severus waved his hand and issued a new order. Only he could issue this order.
"In this way, the harvest will be 10% to 20% less than expected. It would be better to divide Parthia in half as promised to the Han Dynasty!" Piponanus sighed.
Now the pressure is on him again. He hopes that he can come up with something in the next trade agreement with the Han Dynasty.
Many things from the Han Dynasty were best-sellers in Rome, such as silk, silk, and silk.
Severus and Penelunus said nothing. Rome's finances were a terrible mess. They could do nothing about Piponanus' complaints. It was Parthia's fault for being so disgusting on the battlefield.
"Is the profit so huge?" Caesar was stunned.
"Of course, the essence of Parthia is basically in this city. Even if Parthia disperses the people, its value is still immeasurable!" Piponanus explained to Caesar.
Although he was shocked when he first saw Caesar, he has basically calmed down now and is in deep distress.
Finance is always a huge sinkhole no matter which dynasty or country it is.
Even Chen Xi sometimes needs to sit down and think carefully about how to make arrangements, let alone others.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier!" Caesar slapped his thigh. Why didn't you tell me earlier about such a huge profit?
"Huh?" Everyone, including Severus, looked at Caesar in surprise, not knowing what Caesar meant.
"Get out of the way, I'll do it!" Caesar didn't waste any words. He was a gambler, and money was something indispensable to him.
He had been watching and not taking action because he felt that if he took action he would probably be punished by heaven, and besides, the outcome of the battle was basically decided.
So he just watched and made some comments.
But since such huge interests are involved, it is worth a try.
Originally I was planning to return to Rome and deal with them one by one, but now the stronger the better.
"I have suppressed you for so many years, it's time to return it to you. With my legion back then as the foundation, I have created such a perfect work. But it's a pity that perfect talent does not mean a perfect legion!" Caesar's voice was clearly transmitted to Benito's ears.
Benito frowned, not yet understanding what was happening, the Fourteen Eagle Flags, as if in response to Caesar's words, burst into a brilliant light, and stardust covered all the soldiers of the Fourteenth Combined Legion.
After the stardust dissipated, Benito clearly felt the changes in himself. His originally restricted talent for infinite transformation naturally blossomed.
"I don't know who modified the effect of my talent based on mine, but the method is indeed very perfect. It's a pity that the closer to perfection, the greater the pressure on oneself. This kind of talent that can accommodate everything cannot be supported by this kind of quality alone."
Benito looked at his own eagle flag in confusion. For the first time, he felt extremely unfamiliar with it, as if he had never recognized his own eagle flag for all these years.
But he could feel that something was different. The road to the future suddenly became extremely bright.
"Fifth Skylark, I can't quite remember the setting for your path back then!"
After solving the problem of the fourteen combinations, Caesar looked at the Fifth Skylark Legion and scratched his head.
People's ideas can never be the same. After waking up from sleep for so many years, he completely forgot the original intention of designing the Fifth Skylark. Moreover, the current Fifth Skylark is very different from the Fifth Skylark he designed back then.
"But fortunately, there is still a backup plan!" Caesar smiled and activated the eagle flag of the Fifth Skylark.
Under Palmiro's shocked gaze, the eagle emblem on the fifth eagle flag suddenly burst into an extremely dazzling light.
"This is light..." Palmiro looked at the eagle emblem in confusion. Feeling the gradually dimming light around him, he looked at the eagle emblem not far away in confusion. Is this also the power of light and shadow? It seems to be very different from the light and shadow operation of their Fifth Skylark.
"I see, I see!" But as he watched, Palmiro began to get excited. Based on the backup plan left by Caesar and the development of the Fifth Skylark over the years, he deduced his future path.
This is not only the credit of Caesar, but also the credit of all the successive legion commanders over the years.
"Light and shadow! That's it!" Palmiro swung the Roman sword, and the light in front of him was directly split by this sword, or it was forcibly transferred to other places under this sword, and pure darkness covered the entire front.
Temujin, Tacitus, and Gretz instantly became headless flies. This was not due to the effect on their line of sight, but directly on the light.
Palmiro's way is to divert the light, leaving behind a darkness that no one can see clearly.
When there is truly no light, you cannot see anything. No matter if your internal energy leaves your body or you break through the realm, the human eye cannot gather the reflected light, so you absolutely cannot see anything.
And in the darkness, only the Fifth Skylark could see everything.
"Tachito, Gretz, take your men to the front battlefield, leave this place to me!" Palmiro looked at Temujin with a sneer.
After mastering the new light and shadow, the Fifth Skylark's combat power soared instantly, and now it is enough to deal with most of the three talents and even illegal legions such as the Military Soul.
Temujin's face turned pale. It only took him a moment to understand the threat that this light and shadow could bring.
"Retreat!" Temujin took a deep breath, then fired a flare arrow directly towards the retreat route he had already found, and then the army charged away.
When he rushed out of the darkness, Temujin's face looked even uglier.
Not only were there hundreds of fallen soldiers, but they were now losing their military spirit. Their repeated escapes, coupled with the fact that Parthia itself was already in decline, had caused the Parthian Empire to abandon them.
But he had no choice but to leave. Parthia had already lost, the will of the empire had burned out, and even if he held on to the power of the military soul, he could only wait for death.
I might as well just throw away everything and leave. Although I don’t know where the future lies, at least I’m alive.
"Next... the Thirteen Roses!" Caesar looked in the direction of the Thirteen Roses, looked left and right, then took a handful of the Imperial Will from the place where Trajan and the Invincible Legion were, and stuffed it directly into the eagle flag of the Thirteen Roses.
You can do without this thing, but you definitely can’t live without it.
Nareto also looked at his own eagle flag with surprise. Since he took over, the eagle flag had been basically of no use, but now it suddenly had powerful blessing abilities.
The effect is simple, which is to greatly deepen their military talents, but just this one bonus makes their strength soar three levels.
Penelence was almost going crazy. What Caesar did was simply a fantasy in his eyes. It turned out that things like the eagle flag and legion talents were so easy to change.
It's not like he hadn't studied it before. In his eyes, the three legions that had no room for change were actually transformed to a higher level in Caesar's hands. It couldn't be said that they were reborn, but they were like being reborn.
"Oh, there's no time!" Caesar suddenly raised his head, then quickly squeezed the thing in his hand and stuffed it into the eagle flag of the Tenth Knight.
