God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

Upon hearing what Luciano said, Ganassis, who was about to turn and leave, stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Luciano with some surprise.

"Which army have you seen?" Without further ado, Ganassis directly expressed his doubts.

If he remembered correctly, Luciano's 11th Legion seemed to rarely engage in direct combat with the Han Empire's army, and even less so here.

But looking at the scene before him, it didn't seem like a stranger at all.

“I’ve seen it. Before, in the north, during the process of driving out those Slavic barbarians, I encountered a legion whose flag was the same as this legion’s flag. The momentum they displayed was extremely strong.” After a brief recollection, Luciano recounted the details and reasons from that time.

For the 11th Legion, which had been stationed on the frontier of the Empire for a long time and was invincible, there were basically no rivals. Even the very powerful Slavs were only relatively difficult to fight.

However, facing Ju Yi at that time, Luciano was not confident of defeating the opponent's legion, especially since he was outnumbered, so his chances of winning were not high.

In addition, the timely delivery of the letter by Ganassis and the urgent content stated in the letter led Luciano to choose to head south instead of leading his army into the ambush set by Ju Yi.

Yes, Ju Yi did indeed set up an ambush, and it was quite clever, but this place is located near Eastern Europe.

The unique topography and climate of this region led Luciano to discover this ambush.

However, discovering this ambush does not mean that a counter-ambush can be launched; at most, it can only change the ambush situation to a frontal battle.

Luciano, who had never been afraid of direct combat, ultimately decided against fighting after carefully weighing the strength of both sides before heading south.

If the two sides really fight, Luciano estimates that neither side will be able to back down.

The unique nature of the Eleventh Legion dictates that once its numbers drop to a certain level, the legion's overall strength will significantly diminish.

The Eleventh Legion's talent is extremely unreliable. Although they can maintain their strength and condition through sacrifice, it would take an extremely long time to develop their sacrifice talent to this extent.

The time it took the people at the top to reach this level is roughly the same as the time it took the people behind. The experience shared by others is completely useless.

"If I hand it over to you, how confident are you in defeating them?" After considering the Eleventh Legion's combat strength and numbers, Ganassis hesitated for a moment before finally asking the question.

Although the Eleventh Legion is officially an auxiliary legion, at his level, it's impossible to use it as a purely auxiliary legion.

The self-sacrifice cycle is an ability that can enhance one's combat power in a short period of time, and it is a very terrifying existence.

"I'm not entirely sure about the other person's specific talents, so it's difficult for me to make a judgment. Although I have some guesses about their talents, things are probably not as simple as we imagine." Luciano shook his head, not giving a confident and definite answer.

"You mean..." Knowing Luciano's character well, Ganassis already had some unpleasant thoughts in his mind.

"It's not that we're afraid of their killing speed or their combat power, but rather that there's something unusual about the worst-case scenario. If they're similar to the fourth luckiest person, then we're in big trouble," Luciano stated directly, revealing his grim suspicions. Being able to eliminate so many people in a short time, the shortbow naturally became their first choice and initial thought.

However, the lack of numerous arrow wounds already reveals the nature of the enemy's attack method.

With this ability to strike or annihilate from a distance, coupled with a legion whose frontal combat capabilities are off the charts, even if Luciano felt that he was leading his legion to fight with all his might, the result might not be much better.

Although they are also a heavily armored legion with considerable resistance to arrows, and even cloud-type attacks have a strong resistance effect, this does not mean that they can ignore such attacks.

If time drags on, it's not impossible to be worn down and die.

"I will rebuild several barbarian longbowman legions to suppress the enemy with our range. Even if we can't kill them, we will stop their output." After devising a method to contain them, Ganassis immediately stated that he would do it.

As for fighting back with short bows, Ganassis had already given up hope.

The wealth of the Han Empire was reflected in many aspects, among which the protection of armor was of paramount importance.

Just like in Mesopotamia, if it weren't for the fact that the majority of the enemy's soldiers were Parthians, they probably would have dismantled the shortbow legions and replaced them all with longbow legions.

The reason is simple: these shortbow legions were simply too powerless against the Han Empire's legions. Their substandard attacks were unlikely to cause any damage, and they couldn't even break through their defenses.

As a result, longbow legions, which were not particularly fast-firing but had relatively high firepower, gradually began to appear in the Roman Empire's army and their numbers gradually increased.

Ganassis, realizing that the Han Empire's elite forces were in this direction, prepared three or four archer legions when he came, but apart from one longbow archer legion, they were mostly shortbow archers.

It now seems we can completely dismantle the short bows and replace them all with long bows.

Without the elite troops of the Han Empire, even without the shortbow legions, they could kill the Parthian Empire's forces with just their short swords.

However, without the suppression of the archer legions, it would not be so easy for them to retaliate against the elite legions of the Han Empire.

"This is troublesome!" Luciano nodded, agreeing with the plan.

Fortunately, the Roman Empire had relatively abundant resources, and since they were in the Turkish province, both Ganassis and Luciano were influential figures.

Making temporary changes to military supplies would have been problematic in the past, but in the current situation, not only were there no problems, but all officials and Roman citizens, from top to bottom, were doing their utmost to help and support them.

While the army was on the march, the troops underwent equipment changes, and the corresponding legions were trained.

Of course, directly changing the talents of legion soldiers is indeed difficult, but if it's just about changing the weapons of these barbarian legions, then the difficulty is still quite simple.

The shortbow legion's talent for adapting to the longbow legion might present some challenges, but at least they have a foundation, making training much easier. (End of Chapter)
