The war between Rome and Parthia has begun to become frenzied. The Roman eagles are still watching the excitement, and the people of Ardashir are still stationed in the Zagros Mountains.

However, Temujin and Jin Wushu withdrew to the rear defense area to prevent Rome from bypassing the Zagros Mountains.

It has to be said that Ardashir is indeed worthy of the glory of the third century. It defends against the mountain. Even if the church believer army has fallen into madness, it cannot make the Zagros defense line collapse.

Even though the Parthian Praetorian Guards are not the Praetorian Guards who are good at defense, but the rangers and heavy cavalry who are famous for their mobility and lethality, but relying on their own grasp of the fighter opportunities, Aldashir harassed the Roman troops. In the rear, one side firmly held the line of defense.

Under the Zagros defense line, arrows rained down, and the church barbarian troops attacked the Zagros defense line crazily. Even though they knew that the result of doing so would basically be a narrow escape, all the church barbarian troops still shouted slogans and moved toward The Zagros Line launched an attack.

"Avenge St. Peter the Pope!"

"Fight for the Lord!"

Two slogans drove all the barbarians into madness, to the point where all the Roman aristocrats and the Eagle Banner Corps felt terrified.

These legion commanders knew more or less about the policy of reducing barbarians.

Especially the commander of the Eighth Army, Afrikanas, and the commander of the Fourteenth Army, Benito, the more they knew, the more timid they felt.

The corpses of the barbarians even accumulated almost one meter high on the battlefield, but the church barbarian army continued to charge as if they did not feel the slightest fear.

As if the church had not seen the losses at all, it launched wave after wave of counterattacks towards the Zagros defense line.

What's even more frightening is that this is just the result of one charge, and the church has launched nearly three or four attacks.

At this moment, no one knew how long the Zagros defense line could hold. Huge ballistae were already placed on the front line.

Even if Parthia created a defensive secret technique, it was beginning to falter. The church was really going completely crazy. They barely considered losses or tactics and simply fought against Parthia.

Ardashir must be killed and St. Peter III take revenge.

If Aldashir hadn't led the Holy Meteor Cavalry in a risky charge and destroyed most of the real equipment, it is estimated that the Zagros defense line would have been turned into ruins under the bombardment of these ballistas.

However, the war has continued until now. Even Ardashir, who had prepared early, is now exhausted physically and mentally. More importantly, how long can this defensive secret technique last? As the backbone of Parthia, he knows very well. !

They did divide the Roman nobility and the church, but the problem is that now, they really seem to be unable to defeat the church.

The original plan was to lose to the church, but the prerequisite for losing to the church was that the entire defense line had not been broken. If they lost now, Parthia would be completely out of danger.

That would be too difficult for Parthia, and it is very likely that they would not even be able to survive this wave, let alone win.

The Roman Eagle Banner Corps also tried to bypass the Zagros Mountains from other places and enter the eastern Parthian plateau, and the all-out war between Rome and Parthia also started at this time.

Although Ardashir wanted to prevent this situation, he also understood that only this kind of war across the Zagros Mountains could train the Parthian soldiers in the rear and let them understand what they were facing. enemy.

In this situation where Ardashir was half-reluctant and half helpless, part of the Roman regular army successfully crossed the Zagros Mountains, and the chaos east of the Zagros Mountains began.

However, due to the dual presence of Temujin and Jin Wushu, the chaos east of the Zagros Mountains was still under control. The seventh and eighth Eagle Banner Corps tried to break through, but were driven back forcefully.

What Ardashir doesn't understand the most now is why after the death of St. Peter III, the church not only did not become leaderless, but instead seemed to have found a backbone and began to work together.

St. Peter III and Cyprian's false intelligence led them to unleash a mad beast.

It was a bit more difficult, but the overall strategic direction was still in accordance with the plan discussed by Temujin and Ardashir.

Ardashir, who was pressed by the church, was breathless, while Temujin on the other side was like an iron wall, blocking in front of the commanders of the Roman Eagle Banner Corps.

In this atmosphere, a group of army commanders couldn't help but gather together to discuss the issue. It was really that their current behavior was too embarrassing.

Moreover, the crazy momentum of the church gave them some bad premonitions.

Although the number of believers in the church died in huge numbers, there were correspondingly many soldiers crawling out from the pile of dead people under the protection of the Angel Legion.

All these soldiers transformed into elites, and they were added to the 15th and 16th legions in waves.

The Fifteenth and Sixteenth Legions not only made up for the lost manpower, but also expanded more than twice.

Moreover, a group of church reserves who were reincarnated as angel warriors flew in from the country, and the three legions, seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth, also completed their establishment.

The strength of the church is increasing day by day. If before they had the confidence to join forces and directly fight out of the church, now they really have to weigh the strength of the church.

The strength of both sides seems to have undergone subtle changes.

The original Eagle Banner Legion seemed to be superior to the Barbarian Legion, and even the Eagle Banner Legion on the church side should be suppressed by them.

But the crazy war seems to be reshaping the bloody nature of the barbarians. Although this bloody nature is based on faith, it is also terrifying.

Including Second Trajan, everyone will feel extremely cautious when facing the 15th and 16th legions now.

Camillo, the strongest among them, was not even sure of defeating any of them.

It was a kind of hysterical madness, which even made Benito and the others feel chilled for a time.

The general trend on the battlefield was that Rome was suppressing Parthia and still had the absolute upper hand.

Although the church suffered heavy losses, the suicide behavior of five for one, ten for one, and twenty for one made Parthia a little unable to bear it.

"What should we do next? You all know the requirements above. Let us avoid losses and let the barbarians die!"

Africanas knocked on the table and said with a headache.

Originally, these words should not have come out of the mouth of a legion commander, but he was a pure-blood sect, so when facing a group of Roman legion commanders with good roots, he even spoke a little uncontrollably.

"Africanas, pay attention to what you said. The church is just allowed to take the lead in the battle and we can assist!" Benito corrected Africanas.

"Anyway, what to do next!" Africanas waved his hand and asked the question again.

Benito and others are all having a headache. This situation has made them no longer human inside and out.

The barbarians are brave and fearless, but they, the Eagle Banner Legion, are timid.

But an order is an order. Africanas said it vulgarly, but what he said was true.

Rome just wanted these barbarians to die, but now the way of doing so was very different.

Originally, the Barbarians had no scale and quality, but their morale was eroded. Any charge they made could defeat the Barbarian legions that were several times their size.

Originally, Rome also planned to use this method to send the barbarian to death.

After all, many times, once the war begins to collapse, the massacre cannot stop. Even if Parthia is unwilling to make this knife, it will never let go of the fat meat that comes to its door.

After the last group of barbarians returned with a great defeat, Rome went out in full force to directly establish a supreme position in the hearts of these church believers.

If the divine power is directly established, the gods will only become a cultural symbol, and Rome will be the leader of the empire.

At that time, we can also use the church to better control the barbarians, and even draw some of the church's barbarians to fight on the battlefield of Great Britain in the north.

However, everything has changed now.

The barbarians who were originally afraid of fighting have now become crazy, and they are not worth the losses.

To be honest, Benito even felt that the ordinary regular army in Rome did not have the iron blood of these church barbarians.

Just like the Legion of Eagles fighting for the Roman Empire, the barbarians of the Church are also fighting for the Church.

Carrying the church and the expectations of gods, this is the current situation of these barbarians.

"If they really take Ardashir's head, I'm afraid some of the Eagle Banner Legion will really have to replace their members!" Camillo said with a sneer.

The Roman Eagle Banner Legion emphasizes that the strong come first and the weak come down.

Just let these iron-blooded barbarians kill Ardassil, maybe a few troublesome legions will emerge.

At that time, those weaker legions, such as the 31st, 32nd, and 33rd Eagle Banner Legions, may not be directly squeezed out.

If the church controls nearly half of Rome's eagle flags, coupled with the huge base of barbarians and natural connections, there is really no telling whether Rome's surname is Roman or barbarian.

"Then what should we do? Can we still trap them all here?" Glaze said with a sneer.

"Even if you want to do it, can you still do it now?" Benito said helplessly.

The legion built with human lives, the church is really not something they can control casually now.

Speaking of which, if their five legions died here, the church might not be able to directly establish an independent country.

The problem of Barbarians is huge, and they have no good solution, otherwise the higher-ups would not secretly weaken the number of Barbarians.

The most troublesome problem is these three angel legions. The treatment effect is so good that there is nothing we can do about the dead soldiers, but as long as they come back with a breath, most of them can be saved.

This miraculous effect of accumulating veterans is simply speechless.

Coupled with the current level of the bloody battle, I'm afraid there won't really be a few super elite legions after the battle is over.

Just like what Han Xin said, training is just a matter of practice. As long as you survive on the battlefield a few times, you will basically understand everything.

The same was true for Huo Qubing back then. After the first battle, his troops not only did not decrease, but increased in number. There were many Huns under his command who surrendered to strength.

The will to survive will make them transform perfectly.

Of course, the most important thing here is the transformation of will. After the transformation of will, the quality can be replenished in the future.

Now these soldiers of the Fifteenth Legion survived the millstone of flesh and blood, and then received the teachings from the veterans of the Fifteenth Legion, and they can quickly grow and expand.

Benito and the others were not political talents themselves, so they could not come up with a good solution to the barbarian problem.

We can't give all these barbarians the status of citizens. Let's not talk about whether it is allowed in the country. There is a question mark as to whether the economy can sustain it.

But we can’t deprive these current citizens of their identity and let these barbarians take their place, right?

That's unrealistic. If that's the case, Africanas will be the first to counterattack.

As for granting citizenship status to everyone, that is even more nonsense.

Historically Caracalla, the son of Severus, did this and gave citizenship to everyone, and then he was killed.
