Mythical Three Kingdoms

“Back then, I lost that battle because I wavered, so thinking too much about useless things is pointless. These Yuan Clan soldiers are all battle-hardened veterans. Soldiers more outstanding than them are rare in this world. The reason you can’t defeat the enemy is that you lack the determination to break the cauldrons and sink the boats, to fight to the death.” Juo Yi looked at Gao Lan and said.

“Ultimate decisive battle troops transcend the quality and willpower beyond ordinary elite troops. When facing such troops, elite forces must either face a battle like the Jieqiao showdown I experienced, where defeat means death, and the entire army works as one, fighting to the last soldier no matter what, or like the Yuan Liu battle, Divine Speed White Horse, none prepare to die alone.” Juo Yi looked at Gao Lan and said, “Of course, by then, they’ve already transcended!”

“Then why are some elite forces far superior to the normal level?” Gao Lan inquired.

“Either they are strong in quality, or strong in will, there’s no other reason. Moreover, I think you’ve taken the wrong path. The original purpose of Legion Talent was for the legion to be stronger. Therefore, what you should be pursuing is for the legion to be stronger, not the talent itself.” Juo Yi thus said.

“But with talent, the legion becomes significantly stronger in reality.” Gao Lan said, looking at the somewhat blurred silhouette of Juo Yi.

“It’s just putting the cart before the horse. Talent should be the manifestation of a naturally formed ability, combining will and Heaven and Earth Essence. Without matching quality, even your so-called Dual Talent is just that—a bunch of miscellaneous soldiers that couldn’t even defeat the Divine Speed White Horse of the past.” Juo Yi unapologetically criticized.

“I’ve observed a bit now. What you call talent is entirely the product of solidifying will combined with Heaven and Earth Essence. The so-called Dual Talent is merely a result of will generating two effects. This rubbish, well, is slightly better than miscellaneous soldiers. You know how we played this game ten years ago?” Juo Yi asked Gao Lan.

Gao Lan shook his head, showing he didn’t know.

“Firstly, you need to understand your own legion’s positioning, understand who your legion is facing, and then conduct specialized training. Not for training elite talent, but for becoming stronger through training. All talent should serve your legion’s positioning!” Juo Yi said proudly; the previous generation of generals was like this.

“The core of this practice lies in squeezing the talent, even if it’s one talent, squeezing to the limit, like the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, it’s essentially one talent! They sought to enhance defense because they lacked armor, wanted to enhance defense further because defense was inadequate, and thought about how to kill the enemy because they couldn’t defeat them! Their talent is using will to distort reality!” Juo Yi’s silhouette further blurred.

“A bunch of miscellaneous soldiers who can’t perfectly control their own power and don’t possess the mastery of their own will, even with two so-called elite talents, they are still miscellaneous soldiers.” Juo Yi sneered mockingly. “Next, while I still have some power, I’ll show you how to knock several times your opponent to the ground when our troops’ quality is not inferior!”

As he spoke, Juo Yi’s already blurred and nearly unrecognizable image directly merged into Gao Lan’s will, and then Gao Lan moved on the battlefield.

“Brothers of the Yuan Family, charge!” Gao Lan roared, single-handedly lifting the Yuan Clan banner, launched a counter-charge towards Caracalla. With a roar, he led the charge, fearlessly enduring the enemy’s arrows, taking down the Roman Heavy Infantry’s Hundred-Man Squad Leader at the front. The Yuan Family Elite Soldiers, who had been fighting desperately before, now roared as they launched a counter-charge.

“This will get us killed!” Gao Lan roared within Juo Yi’s consciousness.

“Shut up, you don’t understand at all; no battle can’t be won as long as you dare to fight, dare to strive with your life, use your will to inspire the soldiers behind you. Just three times the opponent, kill them!” Juo Yi roared, charging forward, holding the Han Dynasty’s banner, roaring as he launched a counter-charge at the enemy!

“Charge!” Juo Yi fearlessly swung his Long Spear single-handedly, blood splattering, yet his eyes remained fearless, frenziedly slaughtering the enemies before him. The blood soaked nearly through his clothes, yet his momentum showed no sign of waning.

Behind him, the Yuan Family Soldiers, genuine hundred-battle invincible elite troops, some even those super veterans from the battles of Jieqiao and Long Cou, what they lacked was not quality, but the momentum to fight to the death.

“Kill through them!” Juo Yi roared, “For the Yuan Clan!”

Blood splattered out, yet its momentum remained unchanged. With the Lord using his life to lead, confronting the enemy ranks first, all Yuan Family Elite Soldiers roared, erupting with extreme Combat Power, madly launching a strong attack towards the enemy like the majestic figure holding the flag at the front!

There’s nothing that can’t be killed, even if resisting death, even if will distorts reality, can’t kill merely because you didn’t cut properly, piercing the heart not killing, then cut off the head, cut off the head and still able to fight, then shred them.

For Juo Yi, such a mighty figure who has reached the top tier of legions, except for the few top-tier legions, no legion is in his eyes! Just a Roman Guard Legion, merely fourteen thousand men, I, Juo Yi, really don’t need to speak any technique to kill through them, the elite soldiers I lead under the Yuan Clan’s banner were never afraid in my leadership!

As Gao Lan, controlled by Juo Yi, launched a frenzied counterattack, the Roman Guard Legion’s previously smooth attack was thrown into disarray. Gao Lan’s fearless attack stimulated every nerve of the Yuan Family soldiers, their Chief General was already like this; what else should intimidate them!

The inherently formidable qualities, driven by such fearless will, burst forth with combat power, directly pushing back the Roman Guard Legion.

“Release arrows!” Caracalla saw the frontline collapsing at a visible speed and immediately ordered suppression from the Scythian Legion with a rain of arrows.

However, Gao Lan, controlled by Juo Yi, directly activated the Legion Talent. Under the crimson Legion Talent, all the wounds of the soldiers were healing at an astonishing rate.

“Fight, cut through them, just mere worthless miscellaneous soldiers! Kill!” The moment the Legion Talent was unleashed, Juo Yi shouted this, and all the Yuan Family Elite Soldiers roared in response to Juo Yi’s words, counterattacking, enduring the rain of arrows, and continuing the assault.

The fierce assault was almost breaking through the first line of defense of the Roman Heavy Infantry Legion within a breath, and after crushing the defense, the morale of the Yuan Family Elite Soldiers soared even further!

With one decisive charge, accompanied by Juo Yi breaking through several lines of defense, it became increasingly difficult for the Roman Guard Legion to quickly set up new defenses, while Juo Yi’s consciousness was about to dissipate.

“Gao Yuanbo,” Juo Yi called out to Gao Lan’s will, “I’m about to perish soon, but pay attention to the changes that follow. The so-called Elite Talent is just a joke; even miscellaneous soldiers matched with proper will can stand against so-called elites, not to mention my Yuan Family Elites!”

“Battle! Even if we’re struck by swords and axes, we can still fight for the Yuan Clan to conquer the world, battle! Battle! Battle!” Juo Yi roared to the sky, and with three cries of “Battle,” the morale of all the Yuan Family Elite Soldiers climbed step by step!

The union of their formidable will and battle-hardened, undying qualities shattered the Cloud Qi in the sky, and a gigantic crimson Phoenix soared directly into flight!

Before Juo Yi’s consciousness dissipated, it reappeared in Gao Lan’s consciousness space.

“I really wish to ride across the battlefield for our lord.” Juo Yi looked at Gao Lan, his eyes reflecting infinite disappointment, “Yuanbo, never let the reputation of the Yuan Family fall; the Yuan Family I fought for absolutely cannot be allowed to decline!”

“I will, even if it means dying. I will never let the Yuan Family fall!” Gao Lan extended his fist, Juo Yi smiled, slowly reaching out his hand, yet before he touched Gao Lan, he vanished.

“What a pity, only this once.” Juo Yi faintly dissipated, laden with disappointment and solitude. He truly wished to do more for the Yuan Clan but, alas, that’s all he could do.

“Farewell forever.” At the moment of his final fading, Juo Yi slowly closed his eyes.

“Protect the Yuan Family for me.” Gao Lan heard this voice filled with solitude as he withdrew from the depths of consciousness, nodded silently, and upon opening his eyes again, he was on the battlefield. All the surrounding Yuan Family Elite Soldiers were frenziedly attacking the opposing Roman Heavy Infantry. Though they possessed only one Talent Effect, its demonstrated power had already surpassed imagination.

The Super Heavy Infantry with one Talent, Talent Effect is the Will Enhancement, the powerful will of soldiers and generals matching their own qualities, giving birth to the Elite Talent.

Based on the soldiers’ will, automatically gain Defensive Enhancement equal to their own defense, which gradually strengthens as movement speed decreases, with defense doubling when stopping movement. With will matching quality, even when struck by swords and axes, Unyielding Heart, still able to fight!

Although it appears to be a heap of Elite Talents, in reality, there is only one effect: Will Enhancement, the ultimate effect born from forcibly twisting reality with will. When paired with Gao Lan’s Legion Talent, this legion has become completely rogue!

“Kill!” Gao Lan roared, launching an attack on Caracalla’s Imperial Guard Legion. By breaking through here, whether to stay or leave was a matter of simply saying the word!

At the same time, Sun Xquan also roared, leading his trusted aide into a counterattack, frantically attacking the Roman Heavy Infantry following behind Gao Lan. Lyu Meng, meanwhile, was using a rain of arrows to cover Cao Zhen while beginning his retreat behind Sun Xquan. The Romans began to take things seriously.

With Yuan Clan’s Super Heavy Infantry explosively defeating Caracalla, one by one, Rome’s Eagle Banners stood erect. Numerous staff officers started communicating with the Eagle Banners and soldiers, strengthening the connection between soldier and soldier, and the Cloud Qi dense and continuous formed a vast expanse.
