Chapter 2990 No Way Forward

...

Vincenzo spat out the raw flour in his mouth and cursed, then opened his mouth again and took another bite of the raw flour in the air. He tasted its dry yet peculiar flavor, and his face turned red, his eyes seeming to shoot fire.

He was about to continue cursing, but the taste in his mouth made Vincenzo give up the idea. He couldn't very well curse and then eat a bite of raw flour.

Moreover, to avoid choking on the raw flour, Vincenzo could only use his power to distort reality on a small scale to stabilize the airflow in front of his face. Then, breathing in the air without raw flour, he vented his resentment and his emotions finally stabilized.

A true general and knight can accept the dust and debris on the battlefield, things that should be on the battlefield.

But the floating flour is really unacceptable, because this stuff is food, not scars and dust that can display glory.

His body was covered in wounds and dust, but if he could still maintain a high level of mental strength, anyone could tell that he was a strong warrior who had fought a bloody battle.

However, if someone is covered in flour, even if they are covered in wounds, and even if they are in a good mental state, the evaluation they receive will not be very good.

The Tenth Legion is entirely composed of knights, so how could they not care about these things?

Of course, compared to Caesar, all these things are things that can be discarded; only loyalty will never change!
As Vincenzo's actions and behaviors distorted reality on a small scale, the other soldiers of the Tenth Legion followed suit, directly using their willpower to construct a shield for themselves to block and shield the flour that obstructed their view.

In just a few breaths, the Tenth Legion was unaffected by the flour, regaining its coordination, organization, and inherent combat effectiveness.

"Chase!" Seeing that Ma Chao was now hundreds of meters away, Vincenzo didn't hesitate and chose to continue the pursuit.

Having already demonstrated their true power, how could they possibly return empty-handed?

The reason we were unwilling before was because we were worried about casualties and losses. Now that the enemy has begun to retreat, there is no need to worry about our own casualties.

Even if you have the advantage in combat strength and organization, it's still a pursuit battle. Even a score of 1:10 or even 1:20 is possible.

Vincenzo was willing to risk losing two or three hundred men to wipe out an Imperial Guard, especially when the opponent was so shameless and lacked any semblance of skill. He felt no resistance whatsoever.

However, Vincenzo's inner thoughts did not affect Ma Chao's current behavior; he still ran away when he needed to.

Following the pre-arranged plan and countermeasures, and with the added advantage of his Legion talent, Ma Chao accomplished all of this at an unimaginable speed.

When facing novice opponents, break through quickly, shatter their formation, and breach the gates of the Roman camp. When encountering ordinary elite troops, launch a pincer attack with allies to quickly resolve the battle and achieve the tactical objective.

The Tenth Legion, on the other hand, clearly belongs to the worst-case scenario, representing absolute power.

Realizing that the opponent was the Miracle Legion, the best course of action was to run away.

For Xu Huang, after confirming through Ma Chao's actions and words that the enemy was the Miracle Legion, he felt not shock or surprise, but even a little relieved. Such a massive Roman army camp wouldn't be normal if it only contained barbarian troops, even if there were over 100,000 of them.

Entrusting the defense of such an important military camp to people with weak combat capabilities would only show that the enemy's generals are brainless if it were feasible. However, the sheer number of the barbarian army shows that the enemy's generals are intelligent.

Assuming the opposing generals aren't fools, who can guarantee there aren't any pitfalls if only one Eagle Standard Legion is left behind?
Therefore, after confirming that this legion was the Miracle Legion, Xu Huang knew that Rome's backup plan was basically gone, and the opponent's biggest backup plan had been exposed.

However, being exposed doesn't mean he can currently deal with the other party.

A Miracle Legion, and a fully-strength one at that, coupled with 100,000 barbarian soldiers, is something that most people simply cannot handle!

Even if Parthia's entire army came here, they might not be able to defeat the enemy. This more than enough defensive strength also proves that the enemy has no weaknesses.

Despite these speculations and judgments, Xu Huang was ultimately a cautious man and did not become overly reassured about the Roman army camp. Instead, he maintained a degree of vigilance.

"Gongming, things have come to this point, and I'm afraid we should retreat according to the previous plan." Facing the Miracle Legion, Wei Yan was also uncertain, but recalling Xu Huang's previous arrangements and plans, and the corresponding emergency response for various possible situations, he felt much more at ease and was not too impacted by the strength of the Miracle Legion.

Meanwhile, Ardashir, who was retreating with Ma Chao, gained a basic understanding of the Miracle Legion by listening to Ma Chao's words, and also a more comprehensive understanding of the formidable strength of the Roman Empire.

"Power that surpasses the limits of the world, a collective will that transcends constraints, is called the Miracle Legion because the power itself is enough to be called a miracle..." Looking at his hands, Aldashir's expression also became much more unpleasant.

Since the Parthian Empire's Legion of Souls was destroyed by Trajan of Rome, no Legion of Souls has ever appeared again, let alone a legion with strength exceeding the limits of the world.

Moreover, for him personally, let alone the Miracle Legion which he had never heard of before, the goal of all the officers and soldiers in the entire empire was simply to create a Military Soul Legion.

Yet, despite the Empire's efforts over a century to establish this military spirit legion, not a single member has ever succeeded.

These are merely records of those who came before; the difficulties and predicaments he faced were no less than those of his predecessors.

Putting everything else aside, Ardashir had no idea where his army was headed or how to proceed.

The path ahead of the Burning Cavalry had long since vanished from the records of the Assisi royal family, along with the destruction of the Army Soul Legion.

In the present day, the only family in Parthia that still records this route is probably the Suren family, the most powerful noble family in the empire.

However, obtaining these items from the enemy would likely be no less difficult than defeating the Roman army.

The Suren family, commanding three royal guards, showed no fear when facing royalty, and in many cases even held the upper hand. (End of Chapter)
