Even though Tacito knew very well that the Ninth Spanish Legion had no weapons or horses in that battle and was not in its strongest state, but after losing to that extent, how could it win with those things?

There is absolutely no way to win. On the contrary, if you really take up arms and fight, you will only lose worse.

The Tenth Knight has entered a miraculous state. If weapons are used, the Ninth Spanish Legion will be completely wiped out. Even if some of the Tenth Knight's soldiers can be taken away in a decisive battle, everyone is still alive now.

You can train and get stronger, but it's completely different.

"Platianus, let me ask you a question, how long will it take for your subordinates to return to the third level of talent?" Albinus put his hands on the side of the ship and watched the soldiers under his command screaming in the mud.

The charging Tacitus suddenly asked Plautianus.

"I don't even have any clues. To be precise, I went to the magistrate to borrow some soldiers from the Emperor's Guard Corps, and looked at the traces they recorded about us in history, and then I discovered a problem, that is

I don’t understand it at all.” Plautianus sighed and said, it was very sad that Perennis couldn’t help even if he wanted to.

The Emperor's Guard Corps and the First Italy were originally the same thing, and the Emperor's Guard Corps itself has the ability to record history, so the Emperor's Guard Corps also records the former talent and strength of the First Italian Legion.

After the First Italian Legion was beaten, Plautianus went to find his brothers. However, the recorded talents of the First Italian Legion under Plautianus were not able to be used at all, which was very sad.

.

After Perennis knew about this, he was kind enough to give Plautianus a drill on what the former First Italian Legion was.

Relying on the power of the history of the rise and fall of the Roman Empire evolved by the Emperor's Guard Corps, it could barely reproduce 80% to 90% of the level of the year. However, the First Italian Legion had not learned yet. Benito, who was watching the excitement, and Benito's ten

The four combinations have been learned.

This was very embarrassing. Plautianus had no choice but to give up because he was sure that he would not be able to match his previous talent. Benito was caught by Perennis because he danced too happily.

Live and learn legion command.

Ma Chao had no choice but to go on his two-year honeymoon. Perennis had nothing to do, so he trained with a boring guy like Huangfu Song.

"As I estimated, if you want to get the lost power back, at least your own quality must still be at that level, and the current situation is obvious." Albinus stared at Tachito, who was panting in the mud.

He sighed and said.

From a certain perspective, the First Italian Legion is indeed invincible at least for a certain period of time, and this invincibility has been maintained for a long time. Its strong combat effectiveness, coupled with the blessing of the empire's will during local operations, is at the same level.

Absolutely the pinnacle of existence.

However, there will always be people in this world who can knock the invincible off the altar. The number one Italy has stood in that position for too long, but no one has dared to boldly go to the number one Italy in the past. After all, even if it declines to the level of dual talents, there are

Blessed by the will of the empire, the Italian legions in the capital of Rome are also among the strongest.

There may have been legions that could surpass First Italy, but legions that were that strong would not go out of their way to pick a fight with the Italian legions, and on the other hand, even if they could defeat the Italian legions, it would be of little value to them. On the contrary, there are still some

It means deliberately stirring up trouble.

Therefore, before the Tenth Knight, no one would do such a thing. Even the second Trajan's Legion, which was at its peak at that time, would only snatch the eagle flag of the Second Augustus instead of fighting the First Italian Legion.

Eagle flag idea.

Only the tenth knight doesn't care about this kind of thing, offends people? The tenth knight still cares about this thing? If you really want to say it, the tenth knight is close to becoming a public enemy of the Roman legion. The problem is that you can defeat it if you become a public enemy of the Roman legion.

The other party?

The Tenth Legion, which is composed of all knights, needs status and fighting power. In a one-on-two situation, three talents and military souls can be torn apart. Which is not a portrayal of combat effectiveness. What's more, the Tenth Knight Legion, which is so ferocious to such a degree, can still...

Continuously getting stronger.

Therefore, for the Tenth Knight, even if they do things that others find troublesome and offensive, they have nothing to fear. To put it bluntly, the Tenth Knight likes other legions who can't stand them and can't kill them.

Look.

Expelling the First Italian Legion from Italy was such a big matter. After the Senate discussed it, they came to the conclusion that Virgilio should return the eagle flag to the First Italian Legion and then leave with the Tenth Knight.

Go out and station yourself.

Was there ever such a thing as an apology? Was there anything like asking the Tenth Knight to compensate? No, the Senate was not willing to offend the Tenth Knight.

This is also the reason why Plautianus directly deposited the eagle flag in the Roman Senate after getting it, and led the first Italy to the expedition - you, the Senate, don't feel ashamed to take back the eagle flag, but we warriors still feel

Shameful.

What the First Italian Legion needed was not to get back the eagle flag through internal mediation, but to get back the eagle flag in a dignified manner. Thinking of this, Plautianus let out a long sigh.

"Isn't it good?" Albinus asked casually, as if he had seen through the sadness and anger in the other person's heart.

"It's just because it doesn't feel good that I work hard." Plautianus said with a stubborn look on his face.

"If you want to be upright, forget it, don't be upright. To be able to take back the first eagle flag more reasonably in the eyes of most people, I'm afraid you have to have the strength of three talents." Albinus said, dumbfounding.

"Yes, only when the First Italian Legion achieves three talents can it be more reasonable to regain the First Eagle Flag in the eyes of most citizens. And this is only more reasonable. In fact, I doubt that even if the three talents are restored, there will be imperial will.

Blessings..." Plautianus looked at Albinus with a sigh.

In fact, if you really want to get it back in an upright manner, you won't have to rely on the blessing of the empire's will. What's even worse is that Plautianus feels that even if First Italy recovers the level of three talents and has the blessing of the empire's will,

Whether he can beat the Tenth Knight is still a question.

"It's absolutely impossible to defeat it. Even if the First Italian Legion achieves three talents and has the blessing of the Empire's will in the capital of Rome, it is unlikely that it can beat that thing." Albinus thought of the mad dogs of the Tenth Legion, and his face couldn't help but become a little angry.

green.

"It's not a legion of the same level at all. I don't know why the other side is so strong." Plautianus sighed as he looked at Tachito who had fallen over in the mud.

"Tachito, keep going, where are you now! Keep up the good work! Just imagine when Vincenzo knocked you over with one punch!" Albinus yelled in the direction of Tachito, already a little nervous.

When the exhausted Tachito heard this, his eyes turned red, he gritted his teeth and got up from the mud again, and continued to charge without starting.

"Charge!" Tachito, who was covered in mud and in utter embarrassment, yelled, and continued to drive his soldiers to use the talent of charging without starting. To be honest, this was the first time in history that Tachito knew that using talent can also

It makes people tired from using it.

"Look at Tacito. He was not defeated by the Tenth Knight at all. Even if he was defeated so miserably, he is still working hard. This is the future of our Rome." Albinus looked at Tacito and said with a smile, and

Plautianus was thoughtful.

"Work hard. The First Italian Legion is equivalent to the Roman Praetorian Guard, and you are equivalent to the Commander-in-Chief of the Praetorian Guard. The position of Duke is not unattainable for you." Albinus said calmly, and did not care about Plautia after speaking.

Whether Nusi understood or not, he waved to Tachito, who was still screaming there, and turned around to leave.

Plautianus looked at the back of Albinus and was stunned. The commander of the Roman Eagle Banner Legion was lower in status than the four great dukes, but the commander of the legion had the benefits of the commander of the legion. At the level of a duke, there was no

In terms of money, it may not be as good as the commander of the army.

After all, it costs money to raise troops, and Severus's method of burning military expenses was something that even Chen Xi would not dare to do to the soldiers of the Han Dynasty. And with Severus in front of him, the Duke had to maintain his own

The Guards Corps was also having a hard time.

However, these are not problems for Plautianus. His family is rich, and he has also thought about becoming a duke, but unfortunately his qualifications and merit are not enough. Fortunately, he and Severus successfully got married at the beginning of last year, and they will

His daughter married Caracalla.

In the eyes of others, it may be nothing, but from Albinus's perspective, you can understand that Plautianus is planning the position of the Duke of North Africa. However, no amount of planning can compare with Virgilio's leadership of the 10th Duke of North Africa.

The Cavaliers' heavy blow to No. 1 Italy.

It can be said that the fact that Virgilio crushed the First Italy out of the Royal City of Rome cut off Plautianus' path to becoming a Duke in a short period of time. More importantly, Virgilio was actually suitable to be a Duke from a certain angle.

of.

Although Virgilio was so promiscuous that the Tenth Knight Legion was full of enemies of Rome, if Virgilio figured it out and wanted to seize the title of Duke, most of the senators who coveted this position would not be able to seize Virgilio.

Unlike other people who need to be nominated by others, Virgilio can nominate himself. More importantly, Virgilio and his 10th Knights Legion performed extremely amazingly in the decisive battle between Rome and Parthia.

Unlike other senators who talk about seniority and origin, Virgilio can directly talk about Roman law and military exploits. These are the toughest and most convincing things. His military exploits are so great that he pursues a duke with someone pushing him.

The position is basically no problem.

What's more, Severus has a very high opinion of capable generals. No matter how much nonsense the legion goes, no matter whether the opponent makes enemies everywhere, or how to seek death, for a military emperor, the simplest way to judge a legion is that it dares to fight

Dare to fight and have unparalleled fighting power!

Unfortunately, the Tenth Knights Legion led by Virgilio met Severus' requirements in all aspects. As for such innocuous things as messing around in the city of Rome, Severus always turned a blind eye.

The Ten Knights still have a bottom line.

In this case, the popular Plautianus was kicked out of Italy, which basically explained the selection of Virgilio. It has not been announced yet. It can be said that Severus is considering some other things, but

If nothing else, Virgilio, the commander of the Tenth Knights Legion, has basically become the first heir to the Duke of the Southern Border County.

Similarly, Vincenzo also became the first heir to the deputy of the Duke of the Southern Border Counties, because the so-called marquis in Rome was actually the deputy of the Grand Duke of the Border Counties.

It can be said that Plautianus, who came to Eastern Europe now, is already half-out. Even if he still pursues the position of Duke, facing this situation, even Plautianus has nothing to do.

A good idea, after all, you need to be strong to strike with iron.

However, just now Albinus gave Plautianus a hint - as long as you can take that step, I will recommend you as a duke.

In the nomination of the Duke of Rome, those who are also dukes are eligible to participate. Even the emperor will not ignore the Duke's proposal at this time.

This made Plautianus very excited. Virgilio's military exploits were indeed very impressive. When other nominees did not dare to come forward, even half of the entire Senate was dissatisfied with this guy.

When you want to ascend to the top, you can only hold your nose and forget about it.

But Albinus' words gave Plautianus hope again. When the Senate had a popular and capable guy competing with Virgilio, the previous group of people pinched their noses and gave in.

Guys, you will definitely vote for your opponent.

It can be said that as long as Plautianus shows that he is slightly weaker than Virgilio, but has roughly the same level of ability, with Virgilio's situation full of enemies on the map, it is very likely that he will succeed in taking over.

From the cabin, he saw Plautianus, who had been a little distracted, once again cheered up and led his heavy infantry ashore for training. Albinus couldn't help but curl up his lips. He and Severus used Glory
