Mythical Three Kingdoms

Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry’s combat power had not been felt by Ganasis, but he had experienced the terrifying combat power of Xiliang Iron Cavalry. As for the Military Spirit Legion, in Ganasis’s impression, it was directly regarded as a symbol of national power.

Thinking back to the same Double Talent, Ganasis had indeed felt the terrifying combat power of Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

Although last time it was to take advantage of the Parthian Emperor’s enthronement, bringing along just one legion and some barbarian soldiers to Parthia to reap the fall wind. This time, the legion’s strength is much stronger, but this time the Han Army opposite is obviously much stronger than last time, making a hard fight not very valuable.

”Should we fight?” Zhang Liao was also a bit embarrassed. They came to the rescue and directly faced the Roman army. Fortunately, both sides had elites at the front and spotted each other early, allowing the armies to quickly prepare for battle. But in doing so, both sides also clearly saw each other’s strength.

Gao Shun frowned repeatedly. Opposite was a Breakthrough Level, nine Inner Qi Manifestations. If they surged forward with one legion, it would also be a lot of pressure for him. While nine Inner Qi Manifestations were still within the range that the Military Spirit Legion could handle, adding a Breakthrough really wasn’t easy to say.

”What is the Han Army trying to do?” Ganasis was also asking Novelli at this time, ”The Military Spirit Legion has already moved in, have they gone mad?”

”Mad or not, it’s clear that the other side is also wary of us. Demigod level masters are not completely powerless even against the Military Spirit Legion,” Novelli said, frowning as he stared at Zhang Liao and Gao Shun opposite.

”I remember the Parthians also have many Inner Qi Manifestations, why haven’t they come to help?” Zhang Liao said, somewhat frustrated.

”They are very likely caught in the Cloud Qi of the main army, needing to protect the Parthian Emperor on one hand while fighting on the other; they can’t come to help us,” Chen Gong said gravely, ”Be prepared, the other side might make a move soon.”

Upon hearing Chen Gong, Zhang Liao didn’t have much to say, slightly lowering the tip of his long spear, ready to engage with the Romans.

Originally both sides were wary of each other, and now with just a slight move, tensions rose between them. Then, no one knew whose itchy hand first released an arrow.

In an instant, both sides unleashed a rain of arrows. Romans, arranged in a line with Inner Qi Manifestation and Breakthrough level experts under the leadership of Ludwig, charged directly at Gao Shun’s Military Spirit Legion with Ganasis’s Guards Corps.

The Cloud Qi of both sides entwined almost instantly. Just as Gao Shun made his move, he unleashed the Power of Military Spirit. Today’s situation was indeed quite dire.

Meanwhile, Li Jue bypassed from the right flank to head to the Central Camp, directly confronting Tacitus.

”Get them!” In the moment Li Jue’s Xiliang Iron Cavalry collided with the Ninth Legion, both were equally stunned.

The Ninth Legion was planning to retreat, and Xiliang Iron Cavalry was planning to cut off the Romans attacking the Parthians. Neither expected to encounter the enemy head-on.

Fortunately, both sides were well-trained elites. In the moment of encounter, they reflexively launched attacks on the enemy in front of them.

Although both were Tugi Cavalrymen, if we were to say, both had the combat capability of Heavy Cavalry, and the collision showed the brutality of heavy cavalry battles.

But after the first charge, the greatest difference became apparent. Despite their heavenly defenses, sometimes even a long spear could only unhorse the opponent, and clearly, those with stirrup support, like Xiliang Iron Cavalry, were far less likely to be unseated compared to the Romans.

”These guys are pretty tough!” Li Jue licked his lips, turning to stare at the Roman Ninth Legion, which had also turned around. He hadn’t seen a legion that could engage in melee with them and still fight to a nearly one-to-one ratio in many years.

”Ha, kind of regret lending Zhongming to Kongming to ambush the Fourteenth Legion. With only a thirty percent success rate, we should have brought him to fight this guy,” Guo Si also remarked cautiously, the legion opposite was truly capable.

Tacitus stared at Li Jue. The opponent’s legion was unexpectedly three parts stronger than his own. His was a Dual Talent Super Elite, known for its strong frontal assaults, yet now it was actually being suppressed in direct confrontation.

”Unleash the Eagle Emblem!” Tacitus ordered the Hundred-Man Squad Leader. During the battles against the Parthians, he hadn’t been so serious, but the Xiliang Iron Cavalry led by Li Jue was truly similar to his own type of army, also able to be termed heavy cavalry.

”Heh, did you think you’re the only one who has it?” Li Jue also unleashed his legion’s talent, enhancing his own defense to the extreme.

”I suppose you are the Han General Duke Ganasis mentioned. You and we share the same hair color, eyes, and your strength is impressive. I, Tacitus, Legion Leader of the Roman 9th Spanish Legion, solemnly ask you, my enemy, tell me your name!” Tacitus said solemnly, looking in Li Jue’s direction.

After Tacitus unleashed the Eagle Emblem, the dark red radiance from the Spanish Legion’s Eagle Emblem enveloped the entire legion, even benefiting the Heavy Infantry Legion, which was still intercepting the Parthian Army in the rear.

Suddenly, the soldiers of the Roman Ninth Legion seemed to swell with muscle like on steroids, and their height increased somewhat. This was the power obtained by injecting their will into the Eagle Emblem with three Inner Qi Separation and numerous Qi Refining to Gang.

”Han Marquis of Chiyang Li Jue!” Li Jue, watching the Roman Ninth Legion swell in stature as the Eagle Emblem unleashed, noted how their somewhat large armor now fit perfectly, his expression utterly solemn. Strong bodily power is always advantageous, no matter the circumstance!

”Marquis of Chiyang, I see, no wonder Duke Ganasis often praised your strength on the road.” Tacitus, feeling the qi surging within his body, noted that the Ninth Legion was indeed an assault legion, with the Eagle Emblem perfectly matched for these situations.

Li Jue also tightly gripped his long spear, the legion talent already pushed to the limit. The momentum transmitted by the opposing legion gave him slight pressure, but even more excitement. The Xiliang Iron Cavalry had been unmatched for too long; they needed an opponent.

”Kill!” Li Jue roared furiously, as both the Romans and Han army urged their steeds forward almost simultaneously. Though only numbering in the thousands, the momentum of the charging cavalry far surpassed that of tens of thousands of troops in combat.

At the moment of collision, many Romans were directly unseated, while the Han Army, benefiting from slightly better support by stirrups, managed to put the Xiliang Iron Cavalry slightly ahead of the Romans.

”Retreat!” Tacitus wasn’t foolish; he could now see the gap in strength was not caused by the soldiers’ quality but by the small stirrup and saddle. They were not stupid, and his expertise in cavalry allowed him to easily recognize this.
