Chapter 222: Seizing the Eagle Flag
After an encounter, three or four hundred corpses were left behind by the Seventh Loyal Legion. Under the cloud, the strength of the Yulin Army was greatly compressed, and the results achieved were less than Huo Qubing expected.
"It's really troublesome. The clouds haven't dispersed yet?" After Huo Qubing became serious, he quickly began to consider all the factors on the battlefield.
He used to think he was invincible and could do whatever he wanted, but now he couldn't do that anymore. If hundreds of them died, he felt he wouldn't be able to explain to the current general, after all, he was the one who secretly ran away with them.
The clouds on the battlefield are dissipating. After all, most of the soldiers have lost their will to fight. The reason why the clouds are not dissipating is because they are too thick. Even without follow-up force, it will take a long time to dissipate.
"Xuanxiang Four-Elephant Army Formation!" Huo Qubing rarely began to set up the formation.
Although he didn't use it much normally, he learned a lot from Wei Qing.
Under normal circumstances, there is no way to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the Miracle Legion, but under the suppression of the cloud energy, it can help strengthen the Yulin Army a little.
"The invasion is like fire, and the Vermillion Bird will set the field ablaze."
The Yulin Army penetrated directly into the Seventh Legion, like a raging fire, eroding the organizational strength within the Seventh Legion.
Huo Qubing nodded with satisfaction. Although he didn't know why a flag could emit a blessing similar to the legion's talent, a dead thing is still a dead thing. Those who want to fight him are too young.
The commander of the Seventh Legion looked helplessly at the Yulin Army who were joining his formation in small groups. He had no way to mobilize his troops, let alone mobilize them. He even felt that he had been surrounded by the Yulin Army. He was surrounded by Yulin Army soldiers all around him.
The Seventh Legion was extremely desperate as its soldiers were not as strong as the enemy's, its command and dispatch were not as good as the enemy's, and even its personal bravery was not as good as the enemy's. He regretted a little bit for going deep into the enemy's territory alone. For the first time, he doubted whether it was a mistake for him to serve as the commander of the Seventh Legion.
"Got it!" After Huo Qubing killed the commander of the Seventh Legion and got the eagle flag, the soldiers of the Seventh Legion attacked the Yulin Army like crazy, and the Yulin Army finally began to suffer casualties.
The Romans had fought wars for hundreds of years and had lost many battles, including more than one in which they were completely wiped out and their emperor died together. However, the eagle flag was only lost once.
The only war in which the eagle flag was lost was the one in which Crassus, then Roman consul, was killed. The battle lasted until the Roman consul, which was equivalent to the death of the Roman emperor at the time, and only then was the eagle flag lost.
Later, Rome mobilized the entire country to organize eight elite Eagle Flag Legions and took the Eagle Flag back.
So Rome can lose, anyone can die, but the eagle flag must never be lost.
If someone dies, the empire will give them an explanation, but if the eagle flag is lost, everyone from the commander to the soldiers will need to give an explanation to the empire.
Ganasis had gone mad. If his power had shrunk before, now that the eagle flag was lost, he would no longer have to be the Duke of the East. He would simply be demoted to a slave by the Senate and then executed.
The army can be destroyed, the gods can die, but the eagle flag cannot be lost. This is the oath of the Romans!
This oath, which is recognized throughout Christianity , is also the foundation of the Holy Roman Empire.
It was also a compromise that allowed Christianity to preach in Rome. In Rome, the king’s power was granted by God. Although Christianity had been trying to turn it into a divine right, it had little success. Under the premise that God did not appear in the world, it was basically a fantasy.
With the idea that anyone could do it except the Eagle Flag, the Seventh Legion fought to the death with the Yulin Army.
"Puchi!" Huo Qubing beheaded three Roman soldiers who rushed towards him with one sword. He was a little confused. Obviously, their commander was dead, and the organization had completely collapsed. According to his experience, even the double-talented elite should have collapsed. How could they burst out with such determined fighting power?
"Interesting, is it because of this flag? What will happen if I break this thing?" Huo Qubing was eager to try and did not take the crazy Seventh Legion seriously at all.
What's the use of momentary bravery? The main general is dead, the blessing is gone, even the formation is gone. You still want to fight to the death with one breath? Then don't leave today, and I will kill you too.
You want me to return what I got? You could just exchange it for two military souls.
Just an elite with two talents, looking for death!
Although Huo Qubing was surprised at the fighting spirit of the Seventh, that was all. Willpower also requires foundation. If you were a military soul fighting so hard, he would have thrown away the eagle flag directly. But for those who want him to bow his head with just two talents, forget it.
Even if you replace him with a god of war with double talents, he will not be able to defeat him, let alone a group of stragglers whose commander has already died.
As for the losses, a general's success is built on the sacrifice of hundreds of soldiers. He was just worried that he would have a hard time explaining to the current general. However, losses are inevitable in war. He was the great devil who slaughtered so many Huns. How could he really not bear to see his soldiers lose?
Huo Qubing ignored the crazy soldiers of the Seventh Legion and began to study the eagle flag in his hand. He felt that this thing seemed very good. If the Han Empire had this kind of technical means, it would be possible to allow those generals who died of old age to pass on their talents.
"It's strange, why is there no response?" Huo Qubing urged the Eagle Cavalry in confusion, but for some reason he couldn't do it.
"Is it because of the empire's will?" Huo Qubing thought, stroking his chin. Logically speaking, this thing should be something that anyone can use, so it is normal to lock it.
After Huo Qubing used idealism to forge the fluctuations of the Roman Empire's will, he perfectly stimulated the eagle flag state.
"Hahahaha, the Four Symbols are sublimated, idealism is invincible, and glory is eternal!" Huo Qubing used all the means that could increase the combat effectiveness, trying to raise the status of the Yulin Army to a permanent miracle state.
It is worth noting here that the Miracle Legion generally exceeds the maximum combat power allowed by heaven and earth, which is almost like a bump on the ceiling.
However, with the sublimation of the essence of heaven and earth, the ceiling will become higher and higher, and once the legion stops taking the blame, it will drop to a lower level. Even if it is still very powerful, it will lose its original status of being able to fight one against several.
Even if you are as high as the sky, it is still useless and you can never be as invincible as before.
To put it in gaming terms, when the game version is updated, your invincibility is removed.
And what Huo Qubing is doing now is to stabilize the status of the Yulin Army at an invincible level. No matter how the state of the world changes in the future, the Yulin Army will always be invincible. Moreover, what is consumed is not the power of the will of the Han Empire, but the power of the will of the Roman Empire.
In other words, it means borrowing a chicken to lay eggs, and then wanting to cook the chicken without returning it.
