Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 848 Powerless War

Virgilio had the qualifications and ability to become the commander of a large army, but the problem was that after Caesar's death, Virgilio's entire character fell into decline, and even the Tenth Knight began to collapse.

Perhaps it was due to self-limitation or psychological pressure, Virgilio could only maintain command of a large army when the eagle flag was unfurled.

"Benito is such a fool. He was fooled so easily!" Virgilio glanced at the battlefield and understood what was going on.

"This is trouble!" Virgilio frowned. Benito could not be relied on for the time being. The opposite side had dug a pit and trapped Benito in it.

The tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry were like reins that tied Benito tightly. As long as Benito retreated, the Black Legion and the Lake Light Knights on the flank would suffer a fatal blow.

Although Virgilio doesn't care about the affairs of Rome, his identity and status are there, so he knows everything, but he is indifferent.

So he also knew that Benito could not withdraw. With the Fifth Skylark, Benito could command the troops even while fighting against the Mongolian cavalry.

But after the Fifth Skylark was hit, Benito was like a blind and deaf man, unable to command the legions in other areas at all. All the responsibilities now fell on him.

"Humph, you're just trying to be clever!"

"Tenth Knight, attack!"

Virgilio took a quick look and found that the only way to survive was on the outside, and the main camp was a dead end!

The opponent's combination of punches has completely locked the situation. If he hadn't been here, the camp would have definitely collapsed given the current situation.

The enemy had calculated almost every move of Benito and Palmiro, and their understanding of Rome reached a terrifying level.

Even Virgilio didn't know whether he was expected by the other party at this moment.

So Virgilio made the safest choice.

He first arranged the second line of defense with the auxiliary troops commanded by the new recruits of the Tenth Knight, recalled Maximin in front to reorganize the defense line, and then led the Tenth Knight to launch a strong attack.

Replace defense with offense, and then use two layers of defense to stabilize the front line with sniping, while mobilizing a large number of Scythian archers to the flanks.

"Defeat the flank at all costs!"

Virgilio's order fell into the ears of Maximinus, a general who later became a Roman emperor as a barbarian and a potential commander of a large army.

Under Benito's command, he was originally a sharp knife on the flank, and together with the black man Macrinus on the other side, he was like the two sides of a pair of scissors, attacking the center of the army together.

But now it seems to have turned into a trident mode, especially Virgilio's order to him, asking him to defeat the enemy in front of him at all costs, which made Alexander even more anxious.

The man who was called "the beast" couldn't help feeling nervous at this moment.

But he was nervous and felt something was wrong with himself, especially after Virgilio raised the eagle flag, he felt his own improvement.

His command ability has surpassed his previous limits.

"I've become stronger!"

"My command ability is improving. Is this Caesar's legacy? Even if he is gone, it can still flow into my command system in some way." Maximinus said solemnly.

This thing that completely broke common sense made him feel weird, powerful and weird, just like when he faced Zhuge Liang, a terrifying existence that completely transcended the level of human beings.

It clearly felt like only a slight improvement in command, but it was raised to the level of commanding a large army. Looking at the opponent's command, he actually had a feeling of seeing through it, as if he could see through the opponent's thoughts at a glance.

"Kill with me!"

Maximinus took a deep breath. Now was not the time to be shocked. Military orders were as heavy as a mountain. All he had to do now was to follow the orders.

Now that my command level has improved, I will kill the opponent regardless of what he does.

With front-line infiltration and operation as the core command method, we can suppress the opponent's command and dispatch and force them to drink water.

The Mongol commander on the opposite side soon realized that something was wrong because Maximinus' attack was a bit too fierce.

In the fierce confrontation, the battle lines of both sides became intertwined, and it became a situation where you are in me and I am in you. Theoretically, under this situation, both sides should lose their command ability and can only break the deadlock by bravery.

However, Maximinus was able to still command his soldiers in this situation, and even began to control the direction of part of the battle line.

Even though this control ability is not very strong, it continues to accumulate and it is obvious that something is completely wrong.

The captain instinctively wanted to do something.

"Have you found it? It's really fast!"

Maximinus narrowed his eyes. The opponent's reaction was too fast. He didn't have time to hold back his anger. At this time, he could only give it a try.

By releasing all his accumulation at once, Maximinus simultaneously liberated his monarchical talents.

As the first barbarian discovered by Zhuge Liang, he was also the one who was taught and instructed for the longest time. After all, from the very beginning, he had risen to the position of Duke of the North.

Although he was weakened, his previous position and Zhuge Liang's guidance allowed him to successfully develop his potential.

Although his command and dispatch were a little lacking, his talents were fully developed.

Compared to Macrinus' monarchical talent which had not yet been fully developed, his legionary talent had long been sublimated into monarchical talent.

The effect of the monarch's talent is also simple. The more you identify with him, the more you can connect your strength together. The specific manifestation is actually the bonus of organizational ability.

Under the dual influence of songs and the monarch's talents, the soldiers under his command were able to achieve the same organizational capabilities as the elite troops of Danyang.

This kind of organizational ability allows them to use an elite talent to work together, greatly enhancing the power of their mutual cooperation.

The Roman barbarians gathered together and roared as they rushed forward. The two elite troops under Maximinus had simple talent frameworks: muscle defense and muscle burst.

A purely quality-based legion is also the most helpless choice. For the barbarians, the most problematic thing is definitely their will.

Therefore, no matter whether it is Maximinus, Macrinus, or Maximin, they cannot follow the path of pure will like the Tenth Knight and the Holy Fallen Knight, but are forced to follow the path of pure quality.

It's not that they don't want to, but that they can't.

Willpower needs the support of faith, and this is what the barbarians lack the most. Even they themselves do not have the belief that they are invincible, so they can only find another way in terms of quality.

The pure barbarians roared and charged. Their enhanced organizational ability allowed them to leverage each other's strength. The weapons in their hands, which had seemed a bit heavy, became as light as nothing at this moment.

For a while, the Mongol flank was in a bloody storm. The barbarians used their terrifying offensive to carve out a bloody path from the front.

The Mongols also tried to suppress the barbarians' breakthrough with a group charge, but Scythia, who was transferred to Maximinus in advance, shattered all the Mongols' fantasies with a violent rain of arrows.

The group's suppression failed, and the violent muscular barbarians, under the command of Maximinus, crushed them from the front.

The 9th and 12th imitation corps that the Mongols had painstakingly constructed faced this purely crushing attack, and they were almost completely defeated, and the battle line collapsed at a visible speed. The Mongols were still unwilling to give up, and they mobilized corps similar to the former Fourth Eagle Flag and Fearless Macedonia, with densely packed spears pushing forward in a phalanx.

The muscular barbarians' advance was rapidly declining. The power of their long weapons' horizontal slashes was average, but the densely packed gun heads cooperated with each other, making it impossible for the muscular barbarians to unleash their full strength.

After the offensive was contained, a rain of arrows came over like a barrage.

Maximinus coldly commanded the Scythian archers to cover the opposing long-range legion, and remained unshakable even if the opponent adjusted their shooting targets and counterattacked with arrows.

The reason why archers have high wear and tear is that they are often used to exchange items, standing in place and shooting at each other to see who is afraid of who!

There is no doubt that the Scythian archers gained an absolute advantage in this shootout because of their first-mover advantage. Although their own losses were also quite heavy, they successfully completed the task of suppressing the enemy.

"Go!" Benito finally found time to provide remote support.

Palmiro also took the Fifth Skylark and hid near the Tenth Knight. With the protection of the Tenth Knight, they no longer had to worry about the sudden attack of the Arrow of Will.

With the help of Palmiro, Benito successfully locked on Maximinus as the breakthrough point.

"Give you a helping hand!"

Benito used the Fourteenth Combination to use the Eleventh Legion's sacrificial talent to sacrifice Maximin's legionary power directly to Maximinus.

Anyway, the central army's defense line is now being watched by the Tenth Knight, and Maximin can't play a big role, so he might as well contribute his own strength to let Maximinus' muscular barbarian army break through the opposite side.

The power of the sacrificed Maximin Legion turned into streams of light and fell directly onto the muscular barbarians.

The muscular barbarians who had originally been unable to advance an inch suddenly became completely different. All of the Maximin Legion's defensive power was bestowed on these muscular barbarians, so that they were no longer stagnant due to the delay of the gun formation.

They transformed themselves into tanks and slammed into the defense line mobilized by the Mongols. Their terrifying muscle explosiveness combined with their superior defense allowed them to completely ignore the attacking guns.

Tons of explosive power were fully unleashed, and at that moment the Mongol defense line in front was completely destroyed.

The muscular barbarians dug out a bloody path hundreds of meters deep. This terrifying strength seriously exceeded the Mongols' estimates.

The Mongols had some understanding of all the legions, including the Tenth Knight, and had mature plans in place.

It was as if the Tenth Knight in front was entangled by two three-talent Mongolian cavalry, and the Fourteenth Combined Legion and the Fifth Skylark had no way to extricate themselves from their current position.

However, in their previous analysis, Maximinus, Macrinus, Maximinus, and others did not exist.

If Maximin was perfectly targeted because he resembled the former Fourth Eagle Flag.

Then Macrinus and Maximinus were completely out of the target.

Because they had never appeared in the previous wars, and their legion was trained by another military god, the Mongols could not perfectly restrain them as soon as they met.

However, the Mongols had not only fought wars with Rome, but they realized that the legions on Maximinus' side were not something that ordinary legions could deal with.

A large number of legions carrying large shields charged towards the muscular barbarians.

"Throw a spear!"

Maximinus issued new orders, but in fact, the muscular barbarians were ready the moment they appeared on the opposite side.

When the enemy was within ten or even thirty steps of them, the muscular barbarians had already taken out their short spears and threw them at the enemy in front of them with roars.

At this distance, with the muscular barbarian's terrifying muscles, it is enough to throw through ordinary dual-talented soldiers along with their shields.

However, when the spear fell, reality showed its cruel side.

"Ding!"

The javelin that shot straight at him was directly bounced away by the opponent's large shield.

"What a terrifying defense!" Maximinus' eyes narrowed.

He had seen this kind of legion, which was within Zhuge Liang's expectations.

This type of legion is one of the few that can stop their opponents.

Wearing heavy armor, the talent framework is heavy armor defense and will penetration.

The former ensures the lower limit of defense, while the latter ensures the upper limit of defense, making the entire legion like a city wall that cannot be defeated at all.

Especially when the opponent gives up moving and stands still to resist, the opponent's defense will even double.

Although the muscular barbarians have high burst damage, they do not have the power penetration ability of the twelfth thunder throw, so their attacks cannot penetrate the opponent's defense at all.

The corresponding opponents don't have any good way to deal with them, but on the battlefield, most of the time you don't need to directly eliminate your opponent, just making him unable to move is enough.

"Now we're in trouble!"

Virgilio's face was uncertain. The two Mongolian cavalrymen with three talents blocking the Tenth Knight did not fight them desperately at all, but just frantically restrained them.

The staggered alternation made it difficult for them to bite any legion, and they could only be pulled passively.

In order to protect the center, they were unable to even burst out in a specific direction.

His mind told him that they had lost the battle, but emotionally he could not accept the outcome that they were once again defeated by the Mongols.

The tridents that were originally used to break the deadlock all failed, and Virgilio could not find a way to turn the situation around.

It was almost completely targeted from beginning to end.

This frustrating situation left Virgilio angry but with nowhere to vent.

The opponent's imitation was almost disgusting, but under such disgusting circumstances, they were unable to defeat the opponent, which made them even more shaken.

"Retreat, retreat of the entire army!"

In the end, Benito gave the order to retreat.

They are totally unable to hold on, and if the stalemate continues, they will be the ones who will suffer.

Fortunately, we were close to the camp, otherwise we would have been attacked from behind and would have been almost defeated.

If they take the initiative to withdraw before the situation becomes clear, they can reduce considerable losses.
