Chapter 1132 The Massive Roman Legion
However, before Zhuge Liang's thoughts began to wander, he was attracted by the newly appeared Eleven Loyal Claudius. After he activated the talents of the Eleven Loyal Claudius, he realized how big the problems of this legion were.
Although this legion looks a bit strange now, being stuck between the three talents and the Royal Guards, it is a veritable super elite legion, but this is not a big problem. After all, the empire now has a lot of super elite legions.
The problem is that this legion actually possesses the same effect as the military soul, and even has a bit of evil shadow.
He had previously suspected that the sacrificial ability of the Eleven Loyal Claudius could not only be used on enemies and comrades, but could also be used permanently on himself. As a result, the facts were exactly the same as Zhuge Liang's speculation.
The Eleven Loyal Claudius's broken legion could actually sacrifice others to bless itself and its comrades. The strategic value of this legion increased all of a sudden. In the hands of the commander of a large legion, it was enough to be regarded as a trump card that could overturn the table.
However, Zhuge Liang was a little confused. If this was the strength of the talents he felt, this legion should not be at this level. Not to mention that it was as high as the sky, it should at least be a legion with three talents.
But the next second, Zhuge Liang understood that this was done deliberately by the Eleventh Loyal Claudius for the purpose of putting on a show and showing off his own brand at this kind of military parade.
After the last of the Eleven Loyal Claudius stepped through the Arc de Triomphe, the fifth level of self-sacrifice began. The Eleven Loyal Claudius instantly climbed from the three-talent threshold to a level as high as the sky.
"It's really... flashy!" Wang Min gave his own fair evaluation.
Strictly speaking, this legion is very strong. In battle, they can sacrifice the power of their opponents to replenish their own strength and stamina. It can be regarded as an alternative military soul legion.
But the problem is that among the three-talented legions, the Eleven Loyal Claudius is like a blank slate. He can bully those who are weaker than himself, but if he encounters any serious three-talented legion, he will probably be beaten back to his original form in an instant.
Blank military soul, or a blank three-talent legion.
"Doesn't the Han Dynasty have this type of legion?" Li Que asked curiously. Although Wang Min thought it was too flashy, this thing should be a first-class good thing.
Even Li Que felt that this legion was a bit dishonest, so he asked curiously.
As far as Li Que knows, the only two legions that the Han Dynasty clearly does not have are the Parliament Guards and the Fifth Skylark. The others are not rare to the Han Dynasty.
Even the 14th Combined Legion was no match for Zhuge Liang and Wei Yan.
"Yes, and there are many. However, this is the first time I've seen someone with talent developed to this extent. I haven't seen it in history books either!" Zhuge Liang shook his head.
Just like the Second Augustus, the power of its core talent and the remaining two restraining talents can be developed by Huangfu Song and even Zhuge Liang. The problem is how to develop them to that hellish level.
Speaking of this, many legions that have reached the extreme are not difficult to deal with, but the difficult part is how to develop to this point.
The biggest difference between the God of War and normal people is that normal people like Guan Yu and Di Qing can create a legion with three talents through hard work, but the God of War has designed a way to steadily obtain three talents.
One is replicable, the other is not replicable; this is the biggest difference between humans and God.
"What kind of legion is this? Why haven't I seen it before?" Li Que frowned and looked at the newly appeared legion. He actually felt a hint of threat. This was a legion of the Royal Guards. Logically speaking, it should be impossible.
"According to the intelligence, this is the twelfth thunderbolt. It seems that it was mainly active in Great Britain before..."
Zhuge Liang raised his eyebrows, the peculiarity of the Twelve Thunder Legion made him think deeply.
Strictly speaking, this legion is of the same type as the Fire Dragon Soldiers under the command of Lady Zhurong of the Southern Barbarians.
After the strength is materialized and attached with elemental attributes, it has a very serious restraint on traditional heavy armor units.
The Fire Dragon Soldiers represent fire, and the Thunderbolts represent thunder. They have a very strong ability to break through the main battle line. This kind of legion is very unfriendly to legions such as the Shield Guards, and can easily tear a gap in a solid wall.
But there's nothing much to say about this thing, they're just , they can only bully the shield guards with double talents. The legion leaders present all have their own countermeasures.
After all, not counting the special nature of the Thunder Legion, this legion is the bottom batch in the Royal Guards. This kind of talent is not so easy to master. Just look at the First Italy. It has light attributes, but it still relies more on will attributes to fight.
Elemental attributes are of little help in the battles of top-level legions. It may even be a hindrance.
"Next is the Thirteen Roses...???" Everyone present looked at the new legion in front of them curiously. It was not the Thirteen Roses Legion, but a brand new legion.
"After achieving the military spirit, you immediately left the Eagle Flag organization? Is the Roman military system really aimed at the barbarians?" Zhuge Liang understood it in an instant.
If the Eagle Flag Legion can accept some outstanding barbarians, the Military Soul Legion is of utmost importance to the Roman Empire and must not be contaminated by barbarians.
The Eagle Flag wanted to open up to the barbarians, but they couldn't openly let the Military Soul Corps refuse the barbarians to join, so they simply put forward the Military Soul Corps and then select people from various Eagle Flag Corps to further screen out the existence of the barbarians.
"This legion..." Zhuge Liang carefully analyzed the talent he had copied.
"This is called the Thirteen Lustful Legion. Is Rome so open?" Li Que asked in confusion.
"If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. These are the seven deadly sins in the Roman church mythology. They should be the same as the fourth eagle flag before. What is it called the Demon Legion?" Wang Min said casually.
"This legion is not simple. It is called Lust, but it is a real idealistic legion!" Zhuge Liang explained to others with narrowed eyes.
"Their abilities are probably similar to those of the Youyun Cavalry, but they trigger more than just lust, they also trigger negative emotions in people's hearts. By repeatedly switching emotions, they affect people's minds. This legion is very dangerous!"
Zhuge Liang made his own judgment. It was another army that was slaughtering young people. Rome's precautions against the barbarians had reached this point. But why did the Roman barbarians still endure all this?
Even though Zhuge Liang was a scholar, he could not understand the thoughts of the Roman barbarians and the lower castes of the Kushans.
Kings, princes, generals, and ministers are all of different species. The influence on the Chinese people is too profound.
After the Thirteen Colors and Desires Legion came the Fourteen Combinations Legion. Looking at the various fancy special effects of the Fourteen Combinations, everyone present couldn't help but curl their lips. They hated this kind of guys the most.
Relying on the infinite changes of switching talents, this legion is now a truly super elite, capable of restraining the vast majority of legions. It is a 50-50 chance against anyone, and as long as they don't want to lose, no one can win.
However, after the 14th Combined Legion left, the appearance of the 15th Legion made everyone present look strange, not for any other reason, but because this legion was too weak.
Different from the previous army which was composed entirely of guards, the Fifteenth Demon Sword Legion was actually a mixed army of guards and double talents, which directly lowered the style of the Eagle Flag by a level.
"This is probably the legion that was eliminated during the civil strife and then reorganized, right?" Zhuge Liang looked at the legion.
There's nothing much to see. One talent is to gain strength from killing people, and the other is to strengthen one's will. These two talents put together are not much different from the Red Blood Cavalry. At most, this legion should be classified as a formation-breaking heavy infantry.
However, this legion seemed a bit malnourished. It was probably one of the legions that went to the Yuan family for training.
The subsequent appearance of the Legion of Sixteen Wild Beasts made Zhuge Liang's eyes go dark. This legion was even more ridiculous. Instead of tapping into the potential of human beings, they chose to harness the power of wild beasts.
At the first glance, Zhuge Liang knew what the biggest drawback of this kind of legion was, and that was the problem of organization. Even if every member of your army had strong internal energy, it was still unclear whether this legion could show any talent externally.
To some , it was almost the same as the Kshatriya Legion of Kushan. However, when Zhuge Liang saw this group of half-human, half-beasts marching in an orderly manner through the Arc de Triomphe, he knew that they probably used the same method as Huangfu Song.
By guiding the will of these wild beasts through some kind of will, the will of these wild beasts can be brought together, and there is still great potential for the future.
This legion is also a new attempt by Rome. After all, the beast tide in Africa is a good source of resources, and they have also thought about how to better utilize the beast tide. This legion is the result of their attempt, and it has great potential.
The most important thing is that the 15th and 16th legions are completely aimed at recruiting barbarians. The talents of the two legions are all pitfalls, which will probably kill many barbarians.
Zhuge Liang shook his head and no longer paid attention to Rome's internal problems. In the past few years, there was not much difference between the Han Dynasty and Rome.
The subsequent three demon legions, the Seventeenth Legion of Pride, the Eighteenth Legion of Anger, and the Nineteenth Legion of Gluttony, are all mediocre guards. They don’t have any highlights, but they don’t have any major problems either.
Zhuge Liang could see that the intentions of these demon legions were good, but the legion's strength would ultimately depend on its performance on the battlefield.
Now, we can only say that the talent development is not enough.
The Seventeenth Arrogant Legion is a typical will legion, like a bankrupt version of the Tenth Knight Legion.
The Eighteen Angry Legions are similar to the Sixth Triumph. The Sixth Triumph transforms the will to fight into physical fitness, while this legion transforms emotions into physical fitness. It seems to have a synergistic effect with the Thirteen Color|Desire Legion.
The 19th Gluttony Legion is a combination of the bankrupt version of the 11th Eagle Flag and the Kushan Dawn. It can devour all kinds of things and even absorb the opponent's power.
The effect of the previous Fourth Laziness Legion was to inactivate the essence of heaven and earth, forming a vacuum defense shield that could block external attacks to a large extent.
The effect of the Fourth Jealous Legion is that it can accurately see the enemy's weaknesses and cause greater damage, which is very suitable for the Archer Legion.
Next came the 20th Eagle Flag, the Heroic Triumphal Regiment.
The commander of this legion surprised Zhuge Liang. The legion's talent and Zhou Yu's inexplicable combination made it the arsonist's favorite legion.
Capable of making the opponent burn up their physical strength and the essence of heaven and earth, this legion does not look like a Roman legion, but rather like a Parthian Burning Legion.
However, the gap between the two is still very obvious. The talent of the 20th Heroic Triumphal Legion is actually the balance of mind and body, which allows the body and will to be in a balanced state and can be switched at any time.
Paired with an eagle emblem that can form a meridian network structure in the body and absorb the essence of heaven and earth, it can be summed up as a miniature Zhang Fei per capita.
Of course, what Zhuge Liang cared about was that this legion was a traditional imperial guard, the kind of imperial guard of the five schools of the Northern Army, with a solid foundation, just waiting for an opportunity to soar into the sky.
The current Twenty Eagle Flag Legion is still in a period of three years of silence, and it needs to wait for the right opportunity to make a splash.
The Twenty-One Greedy Legion, the last of the seven deadly sins demon legion, has an effect that is nothing special to say about, it is simply an explosive legion.
The ability of the legion can be roughly summarized as accumulating strength in peacetime and waiting to burst out all at once during war. It is another kind of sharp knife that can break the formation.
This made Zhuge Liang think about the connection between the seven deadly sins legions. Although there seemed to be no connection between them, when the seven legions were put together, one could clearly feel that each army had its own duties.
There are all kinds of troops, including those responsible for weakening the enemy, breaking the formation, harvesting, and holding the line. There are even legions responsible for special assistance.
"It can be used to complement other legions, or it can be used on its own? What a clever idea!" Zhuge Liang exclaimed in admiration. Not only did the other party have the ability to create seven imperial guard legions, but he also assigned them corresponding responsibilities.
It is difficult for many legions to find their precise position in the army. Although this division has some limitations, it is already considered from the perspective of maximizing combat effectiveness.
Maybe not the best path, but certainly one of the best.
The subsequent 22nd Devouring Legion, 23rd Steadfast Legion, and 24th Frost Legion are all similar to the previous legions and there is nothing to see.
The characteristics of each legion can be seen from the name . It can be said that they are of a standard type, neither good nor bad.
The Twenty-two Devouring Legions are similar to the Eighteen Gluttony Legions, with the ability to devour and absorb, strengthen themselves, and have short-range burst and weakening capabilities. However, the problem is that their positioning overlaps with that of the Gluttony, and they may even be overtaken by the latter.
The 23rd Steadfast Legion is special, a standard heavy infantry.
However, his talent lies in burst of power, and combined with his natural stone-throwing ability similar to that of the Jiangdong archers, he is a good type in terms of mid-range suppression and killing capabilities.
Twenty-four Frost Legions, similar to Thunder Throwing, except that the thunder is replaced by ice.
The entire legion specializes in freezing, which can have the effect of freezing the essence of heaven and earth, strengthening its own armor, and using frost to penetrate and attack. It is also a type of shield guard that is naturally resistant to it.
Although it looks ordinary, it is compared with the abnormal ones mentioned above. If placed in a place like a kingdom, this kind of legion can completely mow down the enemies with its unparalleled power.
