God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

What was said in jest was taken to heart by the listener. For Ardashir, the attribute of unlimited stamina was extremely valuable, both to himself and to the Empire.

To take it a step further, the Parthian Legion today only ever pursues one goal – the Legion of Military Soul!

Only by rebuilding the Legion of the Military Soul can Parthia regain its imperial status and once again possess the power to dominate all sides.

The strength and continuity of the military spirit mean that this kind of legion is destined to be prepared for the empire. To go a step further, can an empire without a military spirit really be called an empire?
"Let's go!" Forcibly suppressing his thoughts and opinions, Ardashir turned to look eastward, towards the direction that was originally his own army's camp. After a moment of silence, he withdrew his gaze and gave the order.

The importance of the Military Soul Legion is etched into the minds of everyone in Parthia.

From Emperor Vologius V down to the officers and soldiers fighting on the front lines, everyone knew the importance of this matter.

It can be said that as long as the military spirit legion is established, it can stand with the empire, and for the family, it can live and die with the country.

If this can be achieved, it would naturally be a good thing for the Ardashir family.

But how do we build a military spirit legion?
Although he had observed Flying Bear up close and inquired about some information, Aldashir was still completely clueless about how to advance in his career.

However, Duan Yun eventually gave him an answer, an answer that seemed to offer no direction whatsoever.

"Hold fast to your unwavering will and conviction, and march forward on the battlefield!"

The cavalry moved very fast, and since the army was prepared for surprise attacks, there was no need to set up camp. After quickly solving their food and clothing problems, the army began to march south.

Meanwhile, Virgilio, who was in charge of guarding the Roman army camp, didn't take his task seriously at all.

He sent the barbarian legion stationed in the camp out to patrol and guard the area, and then led his own army to rest.

The men of the Tenth Knights Legion had absolutely no desire to participate in this war, or even to engage in any battle.

However, since the war was caused by silk, something loved by everyone from the Roman emperor to every Roman citizen, the Senate, with all its might, had no choice but to obey, even the Tenth Legion.

However, while he may obey orders, when it comes to the front lines of the battlefield, it is up to Virgilio to decide what to do and how to execute them.

Therefore, after understanding his own army's plans during the parliamentary process, Virgilio decisively and quite willingly took on the task of guarding the camp.

The camp needed to be guarded by troops. If it was all barbarian legions, it would lack a leader. Naturally, an Eagle Banner Legion would be left behind.

For Severus, leaving behind the elite Tenth Legion did indeed result in a significant loss of combat power, but considering the size and strength of the deployed army, it seems that the Tenth Legion is not so bad after all.

With one side taking the initiative and the other side indifferent, Virgilio successfully secured the mission. After the Roman army departed, Virgilio, having secured the mission, responsibly arranged and deployed patrol units and related intelligence gathering.

Since those who carried out these orders were all barbarians, Virgilio naturally showed no mercy and used them quite decisively.

“Is it really okay to watch them leave while we’re stuck here?” Vincenzo, the camp commander of the Tenth Legion, said, looking at his own knights.

“What’s wrong with that? There’s no need for war, so there’s no harm or casualties. Besides, their fighting strength is sufficient, and they can gain a lot of merits and achievements. Everyone will be happy, so why not?” Although this statement has a do-or-die attitude, for Virgilio, do-or-die is also a part of life.

Judging from the current situation, this state will most likely continue, including the next successor.

“We’re already politically marginalized, and if we don’t even participate in things like this, we’ll probably become even more marginalized in the future.” Vincenzo was very clear about the Legion’s political situation, and his words carried a certain certainty.

As a legion of the Roman Empire, the 10th Legion of Knights was very special. Unlike other legions of the Empire which were composed of citizens, all members of the 10th Legion of Knights were knights, that is, a noble legion.

As a collective aristocracy, the legion possesses immense political power and influence, yet due to the issue of which side to take, it remains on the very edge of society.

If it weren't for Severus's fondness for armies, especially those with exceptionally strong combat capabilities, the Tenth Legion might still be drifting along somewhere else.

“What’s wrong with being on the political margins? At least you don’t have to deal with that messy political stuff.” Virgilio has a different perspective on politics, and even appreciates this marginalization.

"Politics..." Just as Vincenzo was about to continue the discussion, an intelligence messenger called from outside the tent. He had no choice but to stop talking, turn to the messenger, and calmly say, "What's the matter that you're in such a panic?!"

"The scouts we sent due north have not returned within the stipulated time, and the second batch of elite squads sent out have also not returned. Scouts in other directions have all returned..." The messenger quickly explained the current situation and the reason for the urgent notification.

"Interesting, there's such a thing." Upon hearing the messenger's words, Virgilio knew that his arrangements had yielded results.

Compared to the normal scouts' fan-shaped reconnaissance, Virgilio also specifies the scope and time when arranging reconnaissance. If no one returns within the specified time, severe penalties will be imposed.

Under such punishment, most scouts would not waste too much time on the road and would be able to return in time.

If they encounter someone who hasn't returned, they will dispatch a second wave of elite teams in the corresponding direction, and the search area will be larger and wider.

This second wave of elite squads was also composed of two groups, one in front and one behind, so that when problems arose in the front lines, the rear units could promptly relay information to the main army.

Given his arrangements, the fact that none of the scouts returned was no surprise.

Clearly, there are already hostile forces in that area, and they're quite troublesome. (End of Chapter)
