Chapter 1129: Roman Military Parade
"By the way, are we going to hold a military parade this time?" Plautianus suddenly said.
"Of course it is. The Arc de Triomphe was originally meant to celebrate the fall of Parthia. It can also be considered a formal announcement!"
"In other words, all the Eagle Flag Legions of the Roman Empire will show up? Will the Emperor's Guards and the Senate Guards go?" Plautianus thought, stroking his chin.
"What's wrong? What do you think?" Alessandro looked at Plautianus strangely. His intuition told him that this guy was not making up any good shit.
"I mean, what about the 15th and 16th Legions?" Plautianus explained. When they attacked Heaven this time, the existence of the 15th and 16th Eagle Flags became very embarrassing.
"You don't know yet?" Filippo looked at Plautianus strangely.
"The 15th and 16th Legions were long gone. Those Paladins and fanatics were the first to be eliminated. How could such a time bomb be left behind?"
"The current fifteenth and sixteenth legions are two new legions. The fifteenth legion is the Demon Sword Legion led by the Sword Emperor Lucius, and the sixteenth legion is the Wild Beast Legion led by Romulus."
"Oh? It sounds like some of the paladins and fanatics have also surrendered?" Plautianus narrowed his eyes. No wonder he didn't know the news. Was he worried that he would do something tricky and kill these people directly?
"Don't think about anything else. Most of them are real Roman citizens. If you act recklessly, you will be judged by the Senate!" Filippo quickly dispelled Plautianus's idea.
“I won’t do anything extra.”
Plautianus glanced at Filippo. They were both now considered members of Nero's faction, so he knew that since Filippo said this, he was probably passing on a message to someone.
Although I wish I could kill all these guys, I still have to pay attention to the real impact.
"Huh? Why don't I see Lucius and Romulus you mentioned?" Virgilio was also very interested in the two new legion commanders, especially Lucius, who was actually known as the Sword Emperor, which was not something that ordinary people could bear.
"Among the eight large legion commanders selected by His Majesty Penilus last time, these two are included. It is said that they are both super excellent! Maybe they will be in charge of battlefield commanders in the future!" Plautianus said casually.
He was not familiar with Lucius, but Romulus and his companions were very familiar to Italy. They had pulled him out of mythology with their own hands and created a half-human, half-god hero. Maybe he could really replace Penelunus in the future.
Anyway, Italy will definitely support Romulus.
"Don't underestimate Lucius. That young man's swordsmanship is terrifying. Among all the people present, probably only Alessandro can compete with him. Even Su admits that Lucius is the Sword Emperor!" Tacitus said with a sneer.
He had seen Lucius in action by chance, and the magic sword was still fresh in his memory.
Everyone was surprised to hear such an evaluation from Tacitus's mouth. They thought that he must be a very capable young man.
"Okay, go back and prepare. The military parade will be held in three days!" Penilence interrupted these people's chat helplessly, and then issued specific orders and deployments.
Looking at the group of legion commanders leaving, Penelence felt exhausted. To be honest, Rome’s biggest problem now is not anything else, but these brainless legion commanders.
Fortunately, the group of young people he selected had great potential, which made him feel much better.
No wonder the Han Dynasty likes to spend all its efforts to train young people. Compared with this group of almost stereotyped old foxes, these young people are just being trained, and now each of them has a good look.
Even Caracalla and Annia, who were just there to make up the numbers, are already qualified and mature legion commanders, and they are more mature than this group of legion commanders in terms of the overall situation.
Of course, the combat effectiveness of the legions is completely incomparable. Even the most outstanding Lucius and Romulus are at the bottom of the combat effectiveness list among this group of immature legion commanders.
It’s not that they don’t work hard, but the route from dual talents to the Royal Guards cannot be achieved overnight.
In this era when the Eagle Flag is dominated by the Royal Guards, it will take time for them to catch up with Tacitus and others.
The arrangements for the Roman military parade became increasingly tight. After Severus confirmed that there were no more changes in the Tianzhou Divine Kingdom, he directly launched the military parade. Isn't it just the addition of Great Britain and the Yuan family of the Han Dynasty?
What is there to be afraid of? Since you dare to appear over our Rome's head, we will give you everything.
However, the situation is somewhat different now. No matter what, Britannia and Paradise Myth are still rivals of Rome. When the two sides join forces, Rome has no choice but to be cautious.
The alliance between Parthia and the Huns is still fresh in their minds, and they dare not gamble whether there will be any chain reaction between the two sides over time.
Even if they are confident that they are invincible, they must consider whether they will be dragged into the quagmire of war. After all, there are more powerful countries in the world than just them. While they are complacent, others will not stop developing.
This sense of urgency is also the reason why Rome is speeding up its pace.
Three days passed quickly in the preparations. All the legions at the main station received the notice and prepared for a big battle. Upon hearing the news, all the major legions were ready to fight.
The moment the morning sun emerged from the Mediterranean Sea, the military parade in Rome officially began.
Although the building they passed through was called the Arc de Triomphe, it was not a triumphal arch. Rome had held this kind of ceremony many times, so this time Severus was going to give Rome something new.
"How is it? Are the records ready?" Zhuge Liang looked back at Zuo Ci and asked.
For such a large event, the Han Dynasty of course sent people to participate in the military parade.
Originally, Huangfu Song should have participated, because he was close and it would be convenient for Huangfu Song to obtain first-hand information. However, Huangfu Song was causing trouble, so after some discussion in Luoyang, they directly sent the mixed envoy group of Zhuge Liang and the immortal over.
“Of course everything is ready!” Zuo Ci was calm and composed. The so-called preparation work was actually to kill Yu Ji and then make a backup directly. In this way, it could be transmitted directly back to Luoyang when the time comes. This could be regarded as a high-end use of immortals.
"Well, although the systems are different, the essence is indeed the same!" Zhuge Liang took a look around, and wherever he looked were the Roman elite, but he himself was considered a smuggler, and he simply used Xun You's talent to hide his own presence.
His talents were combined with Sima Hui's water mirror technique and Wei Yan's talent refraction. Not only could he use the talents of the Han Dynasty, but he could also use the eagle flag effect of Rome. He came here this time to record the Roman legion talents in detail so that he could do a specific analysis and target them later.
But then again, at an empire of this size, the basic talents are complete. After all, no matter how unconventional the approach is, the necessary foundation is still there.
To say that it is targeted is only meaningful in the hands of the commander of a large army. All they can do is to record it completely.
Accompanied by cheerful music, the First Italian Legion marched in neat steps directly across the Arc de Triomphe. At the moment of crossing the Arc de Triomphe, the momentum of the First Italian Legion suddenly increased, and it broke through on the spot to a miracle, emitting a dazzling light, which completely kicked off the military parade.
"A complete miraculous legion? First Italy, this trip is indeed worthwhile, but it seems not that strong!" Zhuge Liang stared at the First Italy's legion and silently analyzed the First Italy's talent effects.
"Is the control of the essence of heaven and earth another direction of the unity of man and nature in Danyang?" Zhuge Liang gently waved his feather fan and pondered the connotation.
His talent allowed him to sense an unknown entity, but unfortunately with his current abilities, he was still unable to analyze the miracle. He could only understand that it was a powerful force.
"Just a weakling!" Wang Min had a sneer on his face. Li Que on the side also agreed. The envoy group not only included Zhuge Liang, who was in charge of intelligence, but also big names in various fields, such as Zhao Yun, who was in charge of military strength, Wang Min, the deputy commander of the Yulin Army, who was in charge of legion strength, and Li Que, the commander of the Divine Iron Cavalry.
Zhuge Liang shifted his gaze to the two. In his perception, the current First Italian Legion did not seem to be much weaker than the Tenth Legion which had just awakened.
“Although I don’t understand how they did it, this is actually a variation of the oath, just like the blessing effect that the Yulin Army would have when fighting near Luoyang!” Wang Min explained briefly.
"Don't be fooled by the fact that he looks very strong now. Once he leaves Rome, his strength will plummet immediately ! He may not even be able to maintain the miraculous effect!"
Wang Min had a sneer on his face. It was precisely because of the similarities that the Yulin Army understood the other side's strength better. The Yulin Army was still the Yulin Army after leaving Luoyang, but whether the First Italy could perform a miracle after leaving the First Italy was still another matter.
"I don't understand this, but I can see that, apart from the will attack, the most commonly used method of this legion is the attack of the essence of heaven and earth. This attack situation only relies on external forces. In a head-on battle, they are definitely no match for our Divine Iron Cavalry!"
Li Que was very confident. Even if he was in Rome and the First Italian City, he was confident that he could win.
Zhuge Liang could not deny that, perhaps as Li Que said, they would definitely win in a head-on battle, but the capabilities of the First Italian Legion should be reflected in other aspects. The tricks that can be played sometimes with the help of the essence of heaven and earth cannot be ignored.
Following the First Italian Legion was the Second Augustus Legion, which was now wearing heavy armor and walking slowly through the Arc de Triomphe under the leadership of Alessandro.
"Second Augustus, what a powerful legion!" Tang Zhou looked at the Second Augustus Legion. When he saw the battle report before, he realized that there was a high degree of overlap between this legion and the Yellow Turban Warriors.
Especially the Yellow Turban strongman from that year. If he could survive to the present day, he would probably be not much different from the Second Augustus.
After all, in that era when the Yulin Army was just the imperial guard, the size and strength of the Yellow Turban Warriors were considered to be among the best.
The group that fought against the Yellow Turban warriors back then is not a super elite army now.
"This is a bit fierce." Even though it was quite far away, Fan Chou still vaguely felt the pressure that was waiting to be released, as if a mountain was slowly moving forward.
"For a legion that has reached the limit of its power, it has obviously succeeded in maintaining a height as high as the sky. It's a pity that they are too ambitious and have become complacent at this level."
Zhuge Liang looked at the Second Augustus Legion dimly. This legion had 100% the strength to perform miracles, but it was a pity that it had brought disaster upon itself.
This legion is an extreme legion, following the same route as the Divine Iron Cavalry, with one limit in strength and the other in defense.
Originally, this legion was supposed to be a miracle, but unfortunately it was too large and now it has reached a point where it cannot be eliminated.
To give the simplest example, to cultivate a person to the point where his internal Qi can leave his body, without considering losses, the resources required are 10,000.
Then the resources required to support a troop of 5,000 people to enable their internal Qi to leave their bodies would be 50 million.
The current Second Augustus has a population of about 15,000 people, and the resources required are 150 million.
The reason why the size of each legion is around 5,000 people is not because they cannot afford to support them, but because that is the upper limit of the world.
This is why all super elite legions are of similar size. They can expand their military forces as fast as they can, and even their reserve forces have been prepared long ago.
But the problem is that the upper limit is here. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the number of a legion was no more than 4,000. Now it has expanded to 5,000, which is already a sign of world progress.
If the Second Augustus wants to perform a miracle, it will only happen if the upper limit of the world changes one day, or if only 5,000 people are left in the Augustus Legion one day.
This was also the reason why the Augustus Legion stopped expanding. The more people there were, the more trouble it would be for them to maintain their height to the sky. But by the time they realized it, it was too late, and 15,000 people became their standard configuration.
Miracle is actually a temporary transcendence of the limitations of heaven and earth, but it cannot last long because the power of heaven and earth is too great for humans.
The difficulty of the Second Augustus wanting to break through the upper limit of heaven and earth is basically the same as the difficulty of the Second Augustus flattening the Roman Empire in one battle.
"If this legion really appears on the battlefield, I'm afraid we can only rely on the golden-armored warriors and the Beiwei Army to resist!" Li Que smacked his lips.
If the Divine Iron Cavalry and the Yulin Army are not on the same battlefield, at most each of them can hold up one Miracle Legion.
Even on one battlefield, the Yulin Army can hold off two Miracle Legions.
This Second Augustus will eventually be left to others to deal with. Given the scale and strength, even two military souls would have a hard time dealing with it.
"We should be able to hold on!" Tang Zhou took a look and said casually.
Li Que and Wang Min immediately turned their eyes to Tang Zhou. They all felt that this army was difficult to deal with, but Tang Zhou actually said that he could hold on. Was the golden-armored warrior also a miracle?
