God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

But in order to attack, to attack faster, and to break through more quickly, the guards put down the shields they used to protect themselves from enemy ranged attacks and wielded their blades with all their might.

Deaths that were previously rare in combat have begun to occur among the guards.

"A desperate counterattack? That's a good thing." Seeing the Han army's counterattack, and realizing that Lidas's deployment at Saqqara had been discovered, he was somewhat surprised, but quickly realized the benefits.

Even with the divine blessing of his gods, it would be difficult for the guards who were working together to defend him to kill him.

Often, the battles between the soldiers on both sides were like a sham.

The Han soldiers, who were mostly on the defensive, were flawless in their defense. Even if there were some loopholes, they would be successfully defended by their teammates.

This made it difficult for the Kshatriya warrior legion, which lacked blunt force and penetration capabilities, to break through the guards' defenses and inflict effective casualties.

The relatively few counterattacks from the guards were not difficult for the Kshatriya warrior legion, which possessed supernatural powers, to anticipate and dodge. As long as they were careful, there would be no accidents.

As a result, the two sides fought each other for one or two hours, and there were only a couple hundred soldiers lying on the ground.

It's fair to say that if it weren't for the thorough preparations made beforehand, Saqqara wouldn't even have considered continuing the fight.

The weapons are almost dull from all the cutting, and we still haven't managed to kill many people. Who can stand this?

However, the Han army's counterattack was different. They lost their dense and well-organized defenses. Even if their coordination and organization were good, they lost more defenses due to the offensive, which meant that the possibility of being killed would increase significantly.

As for the increased possibility of their own troops being killed, Sakarala didn't care at all.

Given enough room to maneuver, the Kshatriya warrior legion is very strong, truly very strong.

The two innate effects derived from the Divine Footwork are: firstly, the ability for the legion to traverse all terrains, ensuring that all beings can move freely.

It is precisely because of this ability that the Kshatriya warrior legion is able to maintain orderly advance and retreat even on various building ruins and even on corpses.

The second talent effect is a further extension of the talent, forming a sense of time.

Since you can go anywhere, time is naturally one of the factors.

Within the observable range, everything is affected by this talent; speed itself does not change, but time does.

To this day, it remains unclear whether it is his own time that has sped up or the time around him that has slowed down. The Kshatriya warrior legion he leads is undoubtedly a pillar legion of the Brahmans.

Unlike regular Kushan soldiers, the Kshatriya warrior legion did not suffer from the organizational deficiencies that ordinary Kushan soldiers had due to their different beliefs in gods and Buddhas. Their overall discipline and combat methods were basically no different from those of the regular Han army.

Their fighting spirit and combat skills are exceptionally outstanding.

As for their equipment, they were arguably the best legion in the entire south. The Kshatriya Warrior Legion was a legion formed by members of the Kshatriya class who voluntarily joined the army.

How could someone born into the Kshatriya military aristocracy possibly influence their own equipment?

The use of pure steel equipment is also what distinguishes the Kshatriya warrior legions from other Brahman legions.

This was one of the reasons why this legion was once proud, because this kind of customized equipment not only reflected their class, but also their superiority, like that of a military aristocracy.

Self-discipline, seemingly custom-made, yet extremely neat and orderly equipment and armor, all in white.

The Kshatriya warrior legion, which could definitely be called the elite of the empire, was unusually at a disadvantage in terms of equipment when facing the princess's guard.

While the effect of the sense of time does indeed bring powerful combat capabilities, it doesn't offer much enhancement in terms of armor-piercing ability.

The counterattack led by Yuyao was quite effective; ordinary Kushan soldiers could not withstand the vanguard's advance and were easily breached.

However, the princess's guard, which launched a counterattack against the Kshatriya warriors led by Saqqara, did not achieve the expected results. Instead, due to a flaw in their formation during the attack, they suffered even more casualties.

“You guys are still too young, even though you’re from the same social class!” After withstanding Zhao Kuang’s attack once again, Sakala said calmly with a hint of approval in his eyes, “I approve of your beliefs, but your combat power is still far from enough.”

Excellent teamwork, superb combat skills, extremely strong defense, coupled with their outrageous individual qualities and the discipline they displayed in battle, made Sakala realize that the Guard Legion was most likely a purely professional legion, just like them, and one that originated from a military aristocracy.

Only legions from noble families could possess such excellent qualities, superior equipment, and youthful faces.

Indeed, after such a long period of fighting, Sakala has also discovered the youthfulness of the Princess Guard.

Compared to their side, which consisted mainly of Kshatriya warriors in their thirties, all of whom had children, the Han army, as their opponents, clearly did not meet this requirement.

But it was precisely because his opponent was young that Sakala was even more determined to kill him.

At such a young age, the entire legion has already reached this level. If it were ten years from now, how strong would this legion be?
Even though the passage of time does not necessarily mean an increase in the strength of the legion, youth is ultimately a manifestation of potential.

Sakala, in particular, was well aware of the implications of the young men from military aristocrats.

Just like the Kshatriya warrior legion, if needed, the entire legion can be dismantled, thus allowing one to command hundreds of thousands of troops.

However, given the realities of the situation and the pride and arrogance within the military aristocracy, they would not actually do such a thing.

"..." Zhao Kuang silently scanned Sakala, his hands continuing their offensive movements, while glancing at his comrades, his heart growing increasingly silent.

Sakala's statement was entirely correct. Despite their all-out offensive, they were unable to quickly break through the enemy lines and advance their battle lines against the equally well-organized, disciplined, and combat-effective Kshatriya warrior legion. However, their casualties were rising rapidly.

"To attack is to await death, to defend is to await death. Today, you are destined to perish here." Seeing Zhao Kuang's actions, Sakala continued without hesitation, as if speaking of a predetermined future. (End of Chapter)
