Chapter 1138: The Attack of Rome
The Parthian Legion, which had been limited by its strength and unable to bring out its Iron Body and melee burst, finally had enough strength at this moment to push its talents to the limit.
Tens of thousands of Parthian soldiers crushed the angel army like steel tanks. The terrifying explosive power of the Parthian Legion combined with its own iron body finally showed its due value.
The angel army's defense line was instantly broken, and the Roman army quickly followed behind the Second Parthian Legion and rushed towards the core of heaven.
Unlike the Second Augustus who was unable to fight for long and pursued the ultimate burst of power, the Parthian Legion's iron body and burst of power complemented each other, giving them extremely strong sustained combat capabilities.
Even when faced with the interception of layers of angel armies, there was no pause.
The angel army that was originally clamping towards the Roman army like a pair of pliers was directly pierced through. By the time Lucifer wanted to readjust the formation of the angel army to encircle the Roman army again, the offensive and defensive momentum had completely changed.
Especially after the Fifth Skylark directly cut off the light of the retreat, a pure darkness appeared at the tail of the Roman army, and in the darkness, the phantom soldiers of the Third Eagle Flag were frantically sniping at the angels' pursuit.
"Turn into light and return to the temple!" Lucifer acted decisively and ordered the army of angels to commit suicide, and then resurrect directly near the temple, using their unique resurrection ability in heaven to overtake others.
"There's some trouble!" Penilence pressed his temple in distress as he watched the army of angels disappear directly on the light and shadow map.
Although he had anticipated the Angel's return to the city for resurrection, Penilence still wanted to spit when it really happened.
"It doesn't matter. There's only one more wave of sniping at most, and we'll be near the Temple of Heaven!" Severus said with a chuckle.
"But the trouble is coming next!" Penilence shook his head and looked into the distance. The shadows of the two armies had already appeared.
Compared to the angel army that was defeated by them with great force, they were more concerned about the armies of Great Britain and the Yuan family. Although they expected that there would not be too many people coming, they still had to be on guard.
After all, these people are truly qualified to threaten their existence. Unlike the half-baked angels, they must be more cautious in dealing with these two armies.
"Trouble, trouble!" After Huangfu Song witnessed how the Romans defeated the army of angels, his hope of victory was completely wiped out. He no longer held out any hope of victory.
If there was a one-tenth chance of hope before, now there is not even a one-hundredth chance.
As a veteran general, he knew very well that except for the Third Eagle Flag, which he could do something with, the other legions were basically tough guys who needed to be dealt with head-on.
But this is just a virtual battle after all, he will not expose his restraint against the third eagle flag, he also plans to have a lot of fun.
"Okay, send a message to Great Britain. We will focus on attacking this flank, and let them handle the rest!" Huangfu Song shamelessly threw the important task to Great Britain, and then drove the troops forward.
"Xu Rong, how do you feel?" Huangfu Song asked Xu Rong who was watching from the side while giving orders.
"There's no way we can win!" Xu Rong didn't think they could win from the beginning. To be honest, he thought it was ridiculous that Huangfu Song had a 10% chance of winning before. He didn't see any chance of winning at all.
The Yuan family has a total of 40 legions this time, including four super elite ones, with a total force of less than 300,000. It is questionable whether they can kill half of the Second Augustus Legion on the flank together. They might even be chopped off by the Romans.
"We're not going to run away without a fight. We have to at least fight to gain something!"
Huangfu Song said with a smile, then shook his head. If he could get Zhuge Liang's intelligence analysis, perhaps he could fight more smoothly, but it would not be a big deal if he didn't have it. He had seen the previous cooperation of the Roman legions, and he understood most of them. Only a few legions did not understand.
He still hasn't figured out how the Eleventh Sacrifice Legion and the Fourteenth Combined Legion were formed, and their strength is off the charts.
Not to mention the outrageous talent of the Fourteen Combinations of Infinite Transformations, how on earth did the Five-fold Self-Sacrifice Legion do it?
"Tell me what you think quickly. Great Britain has already begun to advance and the war is about to begin. You should also lend a hand!" Huangfu Song said to Xu Rong with a smile.
Although he said he was lending a hand, in fact he just wanted Xu Rong to test the waters. He would assist Xu Rong and let Xu Rong gain some experience packs from this war.
Xu Rong looked at the massive Roman army on the opposite side, and then at the slowly advancing Parthian Army and the Second Augustus Army, and felt heavy in his heart. Without an equal super elite force, how could he deal with such a legion? This was the first time he had encountered such a legion.
"Use Changshui and Shesheng Duizi to first destroy the fourth eagle flag, and then use the super heavy infantry and burning guards to hold the line. The Slavic heavy axe corps will detour from the left, and the bear cavalry corps will rush directly in to maximize the killing!" Xu Rong said solemnly.
"Not a bad idea!" Huangfu Song looked at Xu Rong with a high opinion of him. He gave up hope of victory and chose to inflict the greatest damage on Rome. Moreover, the plan was highly feasible. He was really decisive.
"But it's still too conservative. We can't win anyway, so we might as well be more direct!" Huangfu Song clapped his hands and based on Xu Rong's plan, he dropped the Burning Guards behind the Slav Heavy Axe Legion.
"Super heavy steps can't handle it!"
Xu Rong simply said that without the Burning Guards to weaken the opponent, the super heavy infantry was at most a sandbag with higher durability. Even the angels that could be resurrected infinitely could not stop the opponent, and the super heavy infantry that could only be resurrected a few times would certainly not be able to stop the opponent.
"It doesn't matter, it's just an exchange of pieces!" Huangfu Song stroked his beard, smiled and gave the order for the entire army to advance.
"Besides, we still have Ju Yi? Let him take on the front line!" Huangfu Song pointed at Ju Yi, who had a serious expression, and then placed the halberd soldiers and heavy crossbowmen led by the other side near the super heavy infantry.
The Roman legions advanced slowly, and their momentum continued to accumulate. The breathing of the soldiers in the front row of the Yuan family also became heavy. Facing the full firepower of Rome, even those soldiers who had been through many battles could not help but feel nervous.
But the good thing is that after this battle, they will be more fearless in reality. After all, they have seen the most prosperous Rome, and the subsequent Roman offensive will definitely not be greater than this time.
When the clouds collided, Ju Yi took the lead in attacking. The crossbows prepared by the heavy crossbowmen burst out directly, and dense arrows fell directly on .
The effect was extremely poor. Three rounds of explosive heavy crossbows only killed less than a hundred people. Although the armor of the Augustus Legion soldiers was not as thick as the shield guards, they were still wearing armor weighing several hundred kilograms, and it was difficult for the crossbow arrows to penetrate their defense.
"Counterattack!" Filippo became interested and fired the Jealous Legion's spearheads directly at the heavy crossbowmen.
The Jealous Legion, which had nearly three talent levels, stretched their archery skills to the limit, and the next moment, a barrage of arrows covered the heavy crossbowmen.
Five arrows per second, with power comparable to that of a heavy crossbow. The supreme characteristic of archery talent was demonstrated in Filippo's hands. The high-speed and high-powered shooting instantly crippled the heavy crossbowmen, even though they were already consciously avoiding the attack.
But under the intensive and powerful attacks, there was no effect at all.
Ju Yi's face was gloomy. If he were to stand by the side first, he would definitely let Filippo see what the pinnacle of archery was.
After all, the legions under Filippo were still shooting physical arrows, while the vanguard's Dacheng cloud arrows could easily send hundreds of thousands of arrows flying straight forward without stopping.
But now he can only be suppressed and beaten. Under the dense firepower, the heavy crossbowmen can't fight back, and it is already the limit for them to save their lives.
Fortunately, Huangfu Song didn't really intend to just stand there and watch. While Filippo was suppressing the heavy crossbowmen, he quietly transferred Changshui over and suddenly launched an attack.
"Draw the cloud energy and launch a special attack!" Huangfu Song gave the order coldly.
Why is Changshui one of the five schools of the Northern Army? In addition to restraining the miscellaneous soldiers and illusion soldiers, its greatest feature is that it can restrain any long-range legion of the same size.
More than three thousand arrows with brilliant golden light and strange waves fell beside Filippo, and the next moment his ears and eyes suffered a devastating blow.
For a moment, the fourth eagle flag fell silent.
"What happened?" Nigel on the wing was a little bit unbelievable. The fourth eagle flag fell to the ground in an instant. Could it be another Parthian Divine Cavalry type legion?
"Report to the Duke, the Fourth Eagle Flag has not been killed, but has temporarily lost its combat effectiveness. It is estimated that it will take a quarter of an hour to return to normal! " Palmiro passed the information to Nigel in real time, and Nigel's face instantly stretched.
His talent as a monarch was extremely ineffective in this regard and he was completely restrained by the opponent.
Being able to make an Eagle Flag Legion lose its combat effectiveness in a short period of time, it can be said that the Han Dynasty is worthy of it. Even a duke who failed in the battle for the throne has this level of power and easily accomplished what the angel army could not do.
"Advance steadily, the advantage is on my side!" Nigel took a deep breath and began to advance steadily. Yuan Jia's slight move made him feel the pressure.
"Why not use sonic shooting to directly snipe the fourth Eagle Flag?" Xu Rong asked curiously. According to the current state of the Fourth Eagle Flag, it can be killed instantly by sonic shooting to maximize the combat damage.
"Hehe, just add some control from time to time. They may work out a way to deal with it in the future, but they don't have the time for this battle. The opponent has no miscellaneous soldiers. It's a good deal for Changshui to be able to contain a three-talent legion!"
Huangfu Song said cheerfully that he liked to use his inferior horses to suppress the opponent's superior horses. He was sure that the opponent would study how to deal with Changshui after returning.
When they meet in reality, the shocking flash attack will definitely have no effect on the opponent, but there are only a few ways to deal with this kind of attack. Whether it is shielding or immunity, it involves willpower. When the time comes, he can add the shooting sound and definitely kill the opponent's legion in one wave.
"Giving the enemy false information during a war is also a very important skill. Learn more about it!"
Huangfu Song pointed at Changshui and Shesheng and said with a smile. Xu Rong seemed to be thinking about something. Compared to him who was still focusing on this war, Huangfu Song was already considering the future. The gap between the two sides was really obvious.
Unlike their lukewarm attitude, Great Britain and Rome fought directly. The two sides had already had a lot of hatred for each other, so now it was natural for them to settle both new and old grudges together.
"The Valkyrie Legion attacks!" Odin calmly threw the phantom warriors to the Roman flank to harass the enemy and consume the strength and patience of Alessandro and others.
"The Sky Warriors, Sea Warriors, and Hades Warriors, hold off the Parthian Army. The Saints will cooperate with the Valkyries to attack the Second Augustus!"
Odin threw Zeus' four super elite legions into the front line. He had no intention of harming these people. It was mainly because Zeus's Gladiator Legion, as well as the Parthian, Augustan, and Rose Legions, were all strong and thick-skinned, so it was just right to wrestle them together.
Even though there is a gap in strength, it is not a big problem to hold off and fight, and there is auxiliary support, which is enough to block the offensive.
"Flag Guards, unfold your holy flags and bestow protection upon the Gladiator Legion!" Odin glanced at Charlemagne, who was leading the army, and gave the order.
Joan of Arc was in charge of the work of leading the Kingdom of Heaven. When she could not come, Charlemagne took her place. Although he was not as good as Joan of Arc herself, he was almost the same.
As for King Arthur, he led the Knights of the Round Table and used the Storm Lance as an anchor, so he was unable to join the battle.
So, although it was the army of Great Britain, in fact only about one-half of the army came, and Odin did not hold out any hope of winning, he just came simply to disgust the Romans.
"Unfold the holy flag!"
The holy light, along with the illusory irises, fell on the warriors. These warriors instantly had an extra layer of barrier on their bodies, and they could even withstand the heavy blows of the Second Augustus.
Along with the appearance of the iris flag, the morale of the Paladin Corps increased greatly, and then they rushed directly towards the Demon Sword Corps.
Heretics are sometimes more hateful than pagans, and rebellious heretics are even more hateful.
The corner of Odin's mouth twitched, but he did not stop Charlemagne from leading the Paladin Legion to attack the enemy. Instead, he mobilized Loki's Frost Giant Legion to block the Frost Eagle Flag, and also mobilized Thor's Thunder God Legion to block the Thunder Legion.
When legions of the same attributes fight, they are obviously immune to each other, which can allow the battle to last for a long time.
Odin's current belief is to drag things out, to buy time for Heaven, the longer the better, until the Joan of Arc ceremony is completely completed, and then he will simply collapse and escape, sending Heaven to heaven.
"Hela, bring your army of the dead and kill them ruthlessly!"
However, no matter how much he tried to delay time, Odin was not a pushover. After some adjustments, he threw Hela's army of the dead into the Roman citizen legion.
When a super elite army takes on a double-talented army, it's natural for there to be a crazy massacre.
However, to Odin's surprise, Penelence's side did not react at all and allowed him to achieve his command effect, which made him very confused.
