God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

Some things are better left unchecked; once they're on the scale, they're hard to contain.

Before anyone else brings them out, the Seventh Loyalist Legion remains the glorious Seventh Legion, and no one will have any objections, since everyone is familiar with its past glory and history.

However, with the outbreak of the full-scale war with Parthia, the Seventh Legion, which went to the battlefield, was simply not up to par with the fighting strength of its banner.

"It's alright. It's not surprising to see any kind of legion on the battlefield. As for this kind of legion, it's probably a product of specialization." By looking at the details in this intelligence report, Usnafaso had already deduced quite a bit.

The barbarian legions that died in battle had very clean corpses, and the vast majority of the men died in very uniform ways, without any of the various types of injuries that were common on the battlefield.

From this alone, one can deduce the opponent's attack methods, tactics, and killing speed, and even their methods.

"A product of specialization?" Upon hearing this, Ganassis looked at Usnafaso with considerable interest, wondering about the reason behind it.

On one hand, it's because of this extreme speed of killing; on the other hand, it's also to see if we can learn from it.

After all, it wouldn't be bad to master such a highly efficient method of killing.

In any case, the Roman Empire was not always stable internally, and there were occasional rebellious elements that required strong and efficient means of suppression. If one could learn this method, it would be a good choice.

Wouldn't it be faster to quickly eliminate armored soldiers and unarmored barbarians?

“Most of the dead soldiers in the barbarian legion have a very obvious phenomenon: there is no chaotic damage, the damage is very uniform, and the armor’s nurturing effect is greatly damaged.” Pointing to certain details described in the intelligence report, Usnafaso carefully explained this phenomenon.

"So, the opponent's offensive methods include the ability to quickly destroy the armor's nurturing effect?" After guessing this possibility, Luciano couldn't help but frown.

Although this ability sounds ordinary, it is actually extremely terrifying.

Besides their extremely strong combat capabilities, most top-tier legions also owe their success to the fact that they wear top-tier, and equally excellent, weapons.

The armor and helmet worn in this situation can naturally provide quite good defensive capabilities, a kind of defensive capability obtained without relying on one's own abilities.

However, if attacked in this way, it means that the armor's defensive capabilities will be greatly weakened. In most cases, the armor can only rely on its basic defensive capabilities and the defensive resistance provided by the soldier's talent.

In this situation, even top-tier combat troops could be killed by ordinary soldiers. Without this defensive capability, any opening would lead to their demise through attrition, drastically reducing their margin for error – a detrimental outcome. The Parthian Empire's Burning Legion could incinerate talent strength, even completely destroying it. Furthermore, the Han Empire possessed the ability to dismantle and restore equipment. Even their elite legions could potentially be killed by ordinary soldiers under such circumstances.

"Judging from the results, this is indeed a possibility. However, a more likely possibility stems from the opponent's attack method, which is probably the cloud itself. Only in this way can the armor's nurturing effect be greatly damaged without harming the armor itself, thus killing every soldier." After Usnafaso expressed his conjecture, his expression became much more serious.

The people present weren't stupid; they immediately realized the troublesome nature of the situation.

The fact that cloud-type attacks disrupt the protective effects of equipment directly proves that the armor itself has no protective effect. It is only the cloud-type protective energy stored inside the armor that provides resistance. However, if there is not enough cloud-type protective energy inside the armor, the protective effect will be poor, just like the barbarian army now, which can be quickly wiped out in a short period of time.

“Having identified their attack method, we must also have some guesses about their offensive tactics.” Ganassis nodded on the spot, stating his thoughts directly.

Such a rapid and efficient offensive tactic, capable of eliminating so many people in such a short time, implies that the opponent's methods must be ranged attacks, and extremely terrifying ranged attacks at that.

"Using cloud energy to create arrows, we can launch multiple attacks in a short period of time, forcefully washing away the armor's nurturing effect with bursts of power, and then annihilate the legion." After stating the result of this approach, Luciano stretched out his hand and gestured in the air. Then, an arrow constructed from cloud energy appeared in his hand, but then disappeared.

"You actually managed to do that?" Enrianus looked at Luciano with some surprise and doubt in his eyes.

It was just a speculation based on this conclusion, but I never expected that someone on the spot could actually do it, which was really shocking.

"It's possible, but the effect won't be significant. Essentially, it involves using one's own internal energy to wrap around cloud energy and then forcibly shaping it into an arrow. It's easy for me to do, but that doesn't mean every soldier can do it just as easily." Luciano rolled his eyes and explained somewhat irritably.

If he could deduce this talent system and training methods just by taking a look at this content, he wouldn't just be the commander of the eleventh legion now; he would at least be the vice emperor of the empire.

The fact that this task was accomplished so far is entirely due to my extraordinary personal abilities; I was able to forcefully manifest and bend it.

As for how it spread afterward, there was absolutely no direction. As for how the Han Empire accomplished it, they had no idea. But one thing was certain: only Han Empire soldiers possessed such capabilities to achieve the ability to annihilate an army in such a short time.

"Can it be forcibly created through sheer force?" After reflecting on his life, Enrianus, who understood the meaning behind this question, lowered his head and waited quietly for the orders and instructions from Ganassis.

"Not necessarily. It could be a coincidence, but that's less likely. We still need to prepare in advance to avoid being targeted and eliminated by the enemy." Ganassis pulled out a map he had prepared beforehand and pointed to the markings and directions on it.

"In that case, let's proceed with the arrangements in that direction. As for how to counter the enemy's offensive tactics, it seems we'll have to experiment slowly..." Following the relevant intelligence, Luciano made some simple inquiries and arrangements. (End of Chapter)
