Chapter 1136 War
Outside the paradise world, a strong thunderstorm is circling. In this age when even stowaways are crushed to death.
Caesar, Octavian and Nero, three people on the blacklist, left Rome, which was almost a challenge to the laws of heaven and earth.
However, because the three of them had not yet made a move, the thunder tribulation was in a hovering state.
After all, Caesar and his two companions followed Severus, and this time Rome almost came out in full force, with thirty-three eagle flags and three military soul legions. The national destiny was almost fully concentrated, acting as a protective layer for the three men.
Therefore, the thunder tribulation was just circling, and once the three of them took action, they would be hit by thunder.
"That's not quite right!"
Sima Yi was the only one who sensed the danger. As he studied the essence of heaven and earth every day, he intended to copy the great achievements of Emperor Zhuanxu, achieve the ultimate connection between heaven and earth, and kill all the extraordinary people.
Sima Yi was also helpless. Although he was extremely intelligent, he lacked spiritual talent compared to others when it came to handling government affairs.
Although spiritual talent is the sublimation of one's own knowledge, it is obvious that this thing is a very convenient weapon.
People like Li Ru and Chen Gong are beneficiaries of spiritual talents.
And there was also a monster like Zhuge Kongming, who had the talent limit of countless people, and Sima Yi's brilliance was completely suppressed for a time.
If it is a head-on battle, Sima Yi can activate his talents to kill other people's talents. He is confident that he can fight anyone on equal terms.
However, when dealing with government affairs, his spiritual talent is no different from a decoration, and is even less useful than Zhou Yu's mentally retarded aura.
So Sima Yi hated every talented guy equally.
But Sima Yi was Sima Yi after all, and playing to his strengths and avoiding his weaknesses was something he was very good at. After developing methods to use his spiritual talents to train his body, he continued to develop his talents.
He also conducted experiments on blood elves, undead, orcs and other residents of the American continent, and his understanding of heaven and earth was further deepened, so he was extremely sensitive to the essence of heaven and earth.
He could sense that there was a terrifying force hovering high in the sky above heaven , which was absolutely beyond human resistance.
"As precarious as a cliff? Well, there is also a trick that can destroy both the enemy and himself!" Sima Yi chuckled twice.
To be honest, he had deep doubts about his own talent, because he could indeed seal talents, even Zhuge Liang was no exception, but there were always some people who were beyond his ability to deal with.
First of all, there were Guo Hao and Chen Xi. The abilities of the two were almost integrated with the will of the empire, which he could not seal at all. In the end it became a competition of mental strength. However, Sima Yi could only chuckle when he had to fight against the entire empire alone.
Next came the four military gods: Han Xin, Bai Qi, Huo Qubing and Wei Qing. After Huo Qubing showed his idealistic light despite his ban, Sima Yi knew that this rubbish reality could not be played.
Therefore, he has always had an unusual sense of crisis. He was very worried that Zhuge Liang would ascend to the level of a military god one day and block his own mental seal. At that time, he would really be pulled down to a level by Zhuge Liang.
"General Huangfu, I have a move that can bring heaven and earth together. Can we try it when we are defeated?" Sima Yi made up his mind and directly sent a message to Huangfu Song.
Huangfu Song looked at Sima Yi strangely, but he recognized Sima Yi's ability. As a competitor who could compete with Zhuge Kongming for a while, he also recognized Sima Yi's ability.
"It's up to you, but you have to wait until I try all my tricks!" Huangfu Song said casually. He just thought that Sima Yi was going to try some trick of humane destruction.
But it doesn't matter, since they can't win anyway. After he goes up to withstand the pressure and try his tactic of risking his life and then escaping from the dead, Sima Yi can do whatever he wants.
"Thank you!" Sima Yi thanked calmly. He wanted to do a big job.
…
"Macedonian Phalanx! Forward!" Penelence roared, and the Macedonian Legion in the fourth eagle flag marched in neat steps towards the army of angels in front of them.
Compared with other legions, the Macedonian Legion's confrontation and morale are absolutely guaranteed, and the survivability of the heavy infantry is also trustworthy.
The epic of mankind is the epic of courage!
At this moment, the fearless human warriors faced the angels in the myth. This scene shocked the barbarians who were observing outside so much that they almost felt ashamed by the comparison.
That was the courage they could not do, and it was also the reason why they followed Rome. Many barbarians saw Macedonia marching forward fearlessly, their eyes full of admiration and fanaticism.
Because the purpose was to show the Roman legionary side, Macedonia did not use any fancy lighting effects, which they had done before at the Arc de Triomphe to save face.
We are in the middle of a war now and they are not in the mood to do those things.
The current Macedonian policy has abandoned the Fearless Talent and replaced it with the Sloth Talent. Nero has made this talent a superior replacement for the Fearless Talent.
The talent of laziness can inactivate the essence of heaven and earth and provide a barrier protection effect.
What matters is that no matter how raging the flood is, I remain unmoved. This can be called laziness, or it can be called fearlessness.
It was almost the same as what Penilence had expected. The moment the Macedonian Legion moved forward, the Angel Legion launched a holy light attack. Countless arrows condensed from holy light shot out from the Angel Legion.
The holy light arrows, like cloud arrows, hit the barrier layer of the Macedonian Legion, but only caused ripples, just like raindrops falling on a lake.
"The force of the attack was low, expected to be that of an ordinary archer!" Palmiro transmitted Leonardo's feelings back to Penilence in real time.
"Yes, the effect is similar to what the Senate estimated. Adjust the army's cloud energy, activate the demon effect, and increase the protective effect to normal level." Penilence nodded.
"The infantry corps push forward, the archer corps cover the infantry corps, and launch a rain of arrows to counterattack!"
While Penelunus was speaking, the entire Roman legion was covered with a layer of dark blood color, which not only improved the defense but also increased the attack effectiveness.
The weapons and armor of the Roman soldiers were all covered with a layer of dark light, which was full of threats to the angels. Lucifer's expression became more solemn when he saw this scene.
This was the effect Nero created using the lives of millions of church believers, allowing all the Roman soldiers blessed by the cloud to have the effect against angels.
"Follow the will of the Lord, the Great Judgment!" Michael led his army of angels and blew the legendary horn that could destroy the world.
With the exciting sound of the trumpet, the legion of angels launched the attack.
In just a breath, the army of angels spread towards the Roman army like a flood.
Lucifer's choice is simple. It is useless to use a huge army to do anything else, so just charge in directly.
They had the advantage in numbers, and as long as they could disrupt the Roman formation, they would have a chance of winning.
The advancing Macedonian phalanx was submerged in the army of angels in an instant. Although they were not killed instantly due to their tenacious vitality, the number of soldiers decreased rapidly under the siege from all directions.
"Filippo!" Leonardo smashed his shield to the ground, unfolded his legion talent, and then roared to the sky.
"Open the eagle emblem and shoot at high speed !" Filippo didn't waste any words and directly unfolded the eagle flag, mobilizing the Scythian archers to rain arrows in the direction of Leonardo.
Without the clear command from Penilence, all he had to do was to cooperate perfectly with Leonardo.
And protecting the Macedonian legion is what the Scythian archers should do most.
In just a few moments, the demon arrows containing the power of jealousy shot down all the angel legions around Macedonia. Although these angels quickly crawled up from the ground, they also greatly reduced the defensive pressure on Macedonia.
Following closely, the heavy infantry legions of Achino, Africana, Marche and others rushed directly into the army of angels, saving the Macedonian legion from the embarrassment of fighting alone.
The Eagle Flag Infantry Corps, which was as fierce as the average level of the Royal Guards, and the Citizen Infantry Corps, pushed back the angels' attack wave in an instant.
But then they discovered something unusual. In the past, the angels that sacrificed themselves would turn into light and disappear, but this time not only did they not disappear, they actually resurrected and crawled up.
"It is expected that situation four will occur. The angel can be resurrected on the spot and the second combat plan will be implemented!"
Penilence calmly adjusted his strategy. If he had been advancing steadily before, now he had to fight in a breakout situation.
Their goal has always been the core of Paradise. If they continue to fight with the enemy endlessly here, they will be the ones who suffer in the end. Therefore, they can only win by directly piercing into the vital point of Paradise.
"Kill!" Tacitus laughed and led the Ninth Spanish Legion, rushing forward from the front line.
With the Miracle Legion remaining inactive, the Ninth Eagle Flag has the strongest capability in terms of frontal attack.
"Activate the Eagle Emblem, and double the power of the non-starting charge!" Tacitus roared, picked up the Eagle Emblem, and charged towards the gap created by Penilence who mobilized the infantry corps.
The speed of the Ninth Spanish Legion at that moment surprised everyone. As heavy cavalry, they actually left an afterimage, and after knocking down the first wave of enemies, they launched a second wave of charge without stopping.
With unparalleled violence, he directly pushed back the waves of the angel army and forcibly carved out a path among the angel army.
However, when the Ninth Spanish Legion charged, Lucifer instantly mobilized a large number of angels to block the Ninth Spanish Legion in layers.
The continuous charges had exhausted the Ninth Spanish Legion, and Lucifer also knew the weakness of the Ninth Legion, which was its inability to finish off the attack.
"Throw javelins!" Joshua of the 23rd Resolute Legion gave the order loudly.
The task given to him by Penilence was simple, which was to cooperate with the Ninth Spanish Legion in the advance.
So just when Lucifer was mobilizing his men to surround and kill Tacitus, a volley of spears fell from the sky and directly solved Tacitus' worries.
Following closely, the two cavalry units of the Seventh Loyalists and the Seventeenth Prideful ones rushed in along the route that Tacitus had taken, filling the weakness behind the Ninth Spanish.
Following closely behind, the Fifteenth Demon Sword, the Sixteenth Wild Beast, and a part of the Citizen Legion's infantry also followed the cavalry that opened the way and charged into this bloody road, pushing the constantly resurrected angels to the sides and completely blocking the tail of the Ninth Spain.
"Hehe, what are you going to do next?"
Penilence sneered as he mobilized the Citizen Archer Corps, raining arrows in front of the Ninth Spanish Legion, curbing Lucifer's counterattack and buying time for the Ninth Spanish Legion to recover.
At this time, Penilence had to admit that there is strength in numbers. Although the command level of Anubis and others was far inferior to his, when he handed over the defensive tasks to them and focused on attacking, the effect brought about was something he could not achieve by trying to do two things at the same time.
Arnubius and Marche were pushed to the front to launch a defensive counterattack, with Nigel continuously providing his soldiers with recovery capabilities and delayed lethal resistance, and Severus was in the center to coordinate and fill in the gaps.
He only needs to think about how to fight his way out of the angel army, without having to worry about the angel army's counterattack. There is no doubt that this kind of coordination can bring his military style to the extreme.
However, Penilence did not plan to launch a general attack. He was not sure about Lucifer's command level, but it was clear that the real angel army had not appeared, so he needed to keep an eye on the situation.
So he used the Ninth Spanish Legion as a target. Unless the Angels dispatched a legion of the Royal Guards level, it would be impossible to stop Tacitus who could charge without starting.
Rome now presents an overall shape of a huge triangle, which is going deep into the depths of the angel army. If the enemy continues like this, they will definitely be pierced. At that time, the entire army only needs to press forward for a moment, which will be enough for the Tenth Knight to rush to the core of heaven.
So Penilence bet that Lucifer would not dare to bet, and as long as Lucifer decided to stop the 9th Spanish Legion, he would fall into his trap.
The Romans have more than just the Ninth Spanish Legion as their assault experts.
"Filippo! Prepare the armor-piercing arrows!" Seeing that the angel army had not made any move, Penilence roared directly. Since the angels were seeking death, he would give the angels death.
"Third Eagle Flag, Illusion Soldiers Charge, Filippo Suppresses the Front!"
Upon hearing this, Filippo attacked with all his strength without any reservation. The ultimate effect of his archery extended with a black light that covered the front of the Tenth Knight, forcibly suppressing a large number of angels.
Immediately afterwards, the commander of the Third Legion, Kirby, commanded a large group of Illusion Slashers and began a suicide attack, successfully carving a second gap in the Angels' front line.
Michael and other archangels finally showed up with legions of archangels on both wings of the Roman army and launched a fierce attack, intending to form a pocket formation to swallow up the Roman army.
"Hehehe!" Penilence shook his head. He didn't know what to say about the angels' command.
If he was commanding alone and attacking the defense line fiercely, it might weaken the power of his frontal attack, but now he is facing more than just Penilence.
"The Second Augustus Legion, advance!" Severus gave a direct order, and the Second Eagle Flag, which was originally guarding the two wings, carried dragon spears and counterattacked towards the Archangel Legion on the two wings.
For them, the archangels at the level of the Royal Guards can be defeated with just one punch.
The Royal Guards were indeed the backbone of the battlefield, but they were still too vulnerable when facing a decisive battle like theirs.
