Chapter 1077 Parthia, dead!
"Stay here!"
Virgilio was at the peak of his life at the moment, with the will of the empire upon him. Naturally, he was not happy to face Old Six who was hiding in the dark.
The will turned into a spear of light and stabbed straight at the big hand that snatched away the fragment of the empire's will.
But the next second, Virgilio was stunned.
"This is impossible!" Virgilio roared in disbelief.
"Nothing is impossible. If you were still in your prime, we could still fight each other. But now you are no longer your own people, and you still want to commit violence?"
Another big hand appeared out of nowhere, grabbed the light spear, and then crushed it with one hand.
All the members of the Tenth Knight Legion spat out blood instantly. The light spears were a collection of wills. Once destroyed, it would naturally have an impact on them.
However, such injuries were just a small matter for them. What really made them uncomfortable was the fact that the other party destroyed the light spear so easily.
"Who are you?" Virgilio looked at where the big hand landed, a group of cavalrymen he had never seen before.
As he spoke, his eyes fell on the flag, on which was written a large word "Han".
"Han? You are the Yulin Army!" Virgilio instantly thought of the identity of the legion in front of him.
Although they were in a slump at the beginning, they also knew about the Yulin Army, the first legion to shine with miracles.
No matter how bad they are, they still care about this super-standard army.
But he didn't expect that the other party would embarrass them so much when they met for the first time.
"Commander-in-chief of the Yulin Army, Zhang Yu, greets you!" Zhang Yu saluted gracefully on his horse.
"Okay, if you have anything to say, let's talk next time. Time waits for no one!"
After Zhang Yu finished speaking, he turned his horse around and galloped towards the Taixifeng City, leaving Virgilio standing there with a gloomy face.
Zhang Yu actually didn't mean anything. If the fragments of the empire's will were not dealt with quickly, they would be scattered everywhere. Even if they locked them with the power of miracles, they would inevitably be lost.
It would be better to take him back to the general this morning for processing, but Zhang Yu's action of turning around and leaving deeply hurt Virgilio.
Their Tenth Knightly Legion, the glory of Rome, was humiliated by the enemy.
But Virgilio did not chase after him, because he knew that chasing after him now would only bring humiliation upon himself.
Just as Zhang Yu said, the current Tenth Knight Legion’s strength, both internally and externally, is not their own.
Having thwarted the will of their own empire in the past, the curse on them has not yet been cleared. If it weren't for the backup plan left by Caesar, it would be a waste of time for them to carry the will of the empire.
They could feel the resistance of the Roman Empire's will to them at all times .
It might be enough to deal with the immobile will of the Parthian Empire, but it would be a pipe dream to deal with the Yulin Army, which also carries the will of the empire and is perfectly integrated.
What's more, they had just experienced a bloody battle, and both the Parthian Knights and the Burning Legion were not easy bones to chew.
The power in their bodies is even more of a mess. If the power sacrificed by the Eleventh Eagle Flag is really the same as their original power, then the First Legion of Rome will be the Eleventh Eagle Flag.
Of course, the most crucial point is that because of the aftereffects of tanking, today is the first day for them to cleanse themselves of all dust.
"Yulin Army, I will remember this grudge!" Virgilio took a deep breath and suppressed the humiliation in his heart. If he didn't have enough strength, he wouldn't have enough strength.
Even if he was unwilling to admit it, he had to admit now that they were unable to compete with the Yulin Army.
The difference in numbers alone was enough for the Yulin Army to defeat them.
"Kill the Parthian emperor first!" Virgilio suppressed everything in his heart, raised his broadsword and roared. The emperor asked them to win, so they must win.
“Win!”
Severus looked at the direction of Vogys V, then at the ferocity of the Tenth Knights, and recalled the distorted history. With such an invincible posture, the Tenth Knights were probably the real public enemy back then.
Although I don’t know exactly what happened to the Tenth Knights just now, but what was shattered should be the imperial will of Parthia.
This was no longer a reversal of the balance, but a direct crushing of the balance. Parthia was finished.
This time, even if Parthia had great power, it would not be able to cause any trouble. It could only wait for the Tenth Knights to kill Vogyges V.
With this battle, the imperial war between Rome and Parthia came to an end.
The subsequent struggle for interests with the Han army, no matter what the outcome, is just a distribution of interests.
The most important thing is that Rome’s century-old enemy was completely destroyed.
"Parthia lost, but we will face a big trouble next!" Penilence's face was solemn.
He is ultimately a general and is more focused on things on the battlefield.
He saw clearly that what the Tenth Knights had obtained was intercepted by someone, and the other party just walked away.
This is enough to explain many problems. Since the beginning of the war, he has been thinking about what to do if the two armies confront each other and an unstoppable miracle army appears.
He didn't expect that it would become reality so soon and start to test him.
"Hu~" Penilence exhaled a breath and began to mobilize the troops.
Now that we have won, we should try to avoid some sacrifices if possible, as these are the cornerstones of the Roman Empire.
After the Parthian Empire's will collapsed, the fighting spirit of the Parthian Legion dropped by more than half. Even Ardashir and Babak were shaken. This situation was almost an irresistible factor, not because they were weak, but because the opponent was too powerful.
The shock brought by the crushing of the empire's will made the soldiers of the Parthian Legion completely despair. The strong are always humans. Even if they are not without the ability to fight, no one can stop Virgilio's demeanor as he marches forward carrying the tenth eagle flag!
More importantly, the eagle flags charging from all directions all indicate one fact: they have completely lost their last hope.
"Ardashir, Babak, let's go!"
Vologases V, who had been hiding in the army, finally stood up at this moment and shouted at the surviving Ardashir and Babak.
"Let's go, everyone, let's go!"
At the same time, he was also shouting at all the Parthian officers who were still fighting.
"Parthia lost, but Parthia should not perish here. Parthia will live on, forever!"
Hearing the roar, Ardashir broke free from the entanglement of the undefeated Trajan, took a last look at Ctesiphon, turned his horses around with the Holy Fallen Riders, and rushed out of the battlefield.
Camillo and Laclile hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided not to chase after him.
The war was over, and the fire of revenge they had at that time began to cool. Looking at the heavy casualties among their soldiers, neither of them had the mood to continue fighting.
As for the First Auxiliary Legion, they wanted to give chase, but their legs were too short. It was just a dream for them to catch up with the Holy Fallen Knights, so they simply gave up.
There were many other generals and officers who chose to leave, including Murong Ke, Omzada, Achaemenides, Yupal... After Vogyges V spoke, a series of generals and officers chose to break out.
The gaps deliberately left by Penelence allowed almost all of these elite Parthian officers to break through successfully.
Even Babak, who was blocked by Su, left the battlefield directly after paying a certain price.
They must live, as Vogelges V had said, to carry on the flame of Parthia.
Looking at the Parthian officers leaving, Vogels V immediately guessed Rome's intention and sneered twice.
The purpose was nothing more than to use these officers and soldiers who had become civilians to turn Parthia into a complete mess and to carry out a security war throughout the core areas of Parthia.
I would rather destroy the entire elite area than see another enemy appear on the land of Parthia.
Moreover, it was probably also intended to allow these Parthian remnants to serve as a buffer zone.
Now that things have come to this, many things have become clear. Rome is the enemy, and the Han Dynasty is not a good thing either. In the end, the two empires divided up everything in Parthia.
But it doesn’t matter. Since I’ve already lost, it’s too late to say anything.
He has set the stage, and now it depends on how Rome will face the aggressive army of the Han Empire.
When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured.
Parthia lost, but Rome will never have an easy time.
Vogys V used the entire Parthia as a stage and made the Han Dynasty border Rome.
If it were any other empire, Vogtius V would not have known what would happen, but for the Han Dynasty, Vogtius V knew very well.
Anyone who openly offends the mighty Han will be punished, even though they are far away!
The Han Dynasty was so tyrannical that it would never tolerate the existence of Rome. How could it allow others to sleep beside its bed?
Maybe not in this generation, but in the future, Rome will definitely not be able to avoid the Han Dynasty as its enemy.
"Where is the Parthian emperor?"
Virgilio looked in the direction of Vologases V and asked loudly. He could not be sure of the other party's identity because the Vologases V in his memory was completely different.
Vologases V watched as the Eagle Flag Legions came from all directions and frantically killed the Parthian soldiers. Many of them had even given up resistance and were waiting for death. This scene made him inexplicably sad, and he couldn't help but scan the entire scene.
"I'm here!"
Vologases V was dressed in military uniform, with blood stains even all over his clothes. His eyes that had always been burning with flames now became dim, but facing this situation where he was sure to die, he still stood up. If he lost, he lost, and there was a price to pay for losing.
"Surrender!" Virgilio still spoke even though he knew it was meaningless.
The meanings of capturing alive and beheading are completely different. Although the probability is slim, he still spoke.
The other Eagle Flag Legions also stopped killing in tacit understanding. It was obvious that the other party was not the commander, but just a legion leader like them. But at this moment everyone stopped and waited for Virgilio to speak.
After all, this world has always been ruled by the strong, and Virgilio's performance made them understand who should stand in the middle, who should speak, and who should not be interrupted when speaking.
Battling two miracle legions in a row and crushing the will of the empire , everything proved the power of the Tenth Knight Legion.
"There are only Parthian emperors who died in battle, but no captured Parthian kings!" Vologases V drew his sword and answered loudly.
Then he roared and drove his chariot to attack the Tenth Legion.
Virgilio shook his head, then a spear of light shot out from his hand, the chariot exploded, and the era of the Parthian Empire came to an end.
With the death of Vogyses V, all the Parthian soldiers who were still fighting seemed to have their spines pulled out. They dropped their weapons and chose to surrender.
The war is over.
The Parthian Empire! Destroyed!
“It’s finally over!”
Although it was clear that he would win, it was not until Vogyses V died and the Parthian soldiers chose to surrender that Severus felt truly relieved.
He then stretched out his hand, felt the changes in his own monarch talent, then extinguished it and raised his head with a smile.
"Your Majesty, what's the next step..." Penilence asked cautiously.
"Let the Eagle Flag Legion rest first, order the Barbarian Legion to start looting, and let Niger and Arnubis hold on first. Ctesiphon is very large, and the Han army cannot move it all in a short time!" Severus was wise.
Penelunus slightly shook his head. Severus' decision was almost a death trap for Nigel, Arnubis and the barbarian.
But what does it have to do with him? He and Severus are on the same side.
It was politically correct to kill these dukes of the border counties, but as for killing the barbarians, that was the political correctness of the Roman Empire.
"By the way, let Benito see where the church's troops are and let them follow in!" Severus said with a sneer.
It's not that easy to stay out of it. I'm putting the benefits in front of me, and I don't believe those barbarians can hold back.
Believers are believers, but believers also need to eat.
They pray to the Lord to escape the hardships of real life and gain the beauty of life after death.
But if there is a way to escape the hardships of life in reality, it is not obvious what the believers who are not as fanatical as the fanatics will choose.
If these people were directly ordered to fight the Han army, they might escape, but if they were asked to plunder, they would not show mercy.
Severus easily pushed all the forces from all four sides onto the stage, and all of them were good things for him.
Suppressing political enemies, suppressing barbarians, weakening the church, and grabbing more benefits at the same time, why not do it?
However, Severus also knew that a war with the Han Dynasty was inevitable.
Now everyone is busy grabbing the wealth in front of them. When the wealth in their respective areas has been plundered and only the wealth in the middle is left, that is when conflicts break out.
However, this period of time is not short, and Taisiphon is not a small city.
