Chapter 1017 Hope in Despair
"What about the Thirteen Roses and Seventeen Angel Legions on the other side?" Jin Wushu suddenly asked.
He had fought against seventeen angels before, and he knew very well that the mobility of the Seventeenth First Angel Legion was very outrageous, and they could be easily attacked if no one was guarding them.
"Zamukha and Kublai are watching over there, there will be no problem!" Temujin waved his hand and said.
The newly built Thirteen Roses were just a piece of cake, he didn't take them seriously at all. As for the Seventeen Angels, he had mobilized a large number of archers to wait for them. He wanted to see what the difference was between the bird-people like angels and the eagles.
"Zamukha?" Jin Wushu nodded. Jamukha was no simple person. As Temujin's deputy, his ability was even stronger than his.
However, he now holds the three-talented Iron Buddha in his hands, so he is not inferior to Jamukha. As for Kublai Khan, he knows that he seems to be Temujin's adopted son and is not worth mentioning.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Attolamei was a little impatient. He felt that it was too risky to put all the strength together.
"This is our only chance. Speaking of which, I also find it strange!" Temujin knocked on the table. "There is no traitor among us. I don't believe it."
Ardashir raised his eyebrows. Temujin actually put such things on the table openly, which was a signal that he trusted the generals present.
The trust here is indeed trust, but it is trust from top to bottom, which invisibly raises one's own status and subtly establishes one's dominant position.
Ardashir suddenly realized that Temujin in front of him seemed to be a real opponent, not only at the level of legion commander, but an opponent in every sense of the word.
Even including the struggle for political power, the most important opponent in the future.
"I can guarantee this. Everyone here is our own. They will never betray us!" Ardashir responded by casually putting himself and Temujin on the same level.
Temujin was a little surprised, and he also keenly sensed the different aura from Ardashir.
That is the potential of a king, while Babak and Attolamei do not have this feeling at all.
The two men nodded in agreement, unaware of Temujin and Ardashir's methods.
Temujin did not dwell on it. This kind of thing was something that could be done at will. No matter what he had in mind, establishing his own position was always the right thing to do.
"The only problem Rome has now is the rift between the Church and the Senate. Rome still has contempt for Parthia in its roots!"
Temujin eloquently told the story of his discovery. To be honest, it was only because of the blood feud between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu that Temujin was able to discover this.
"Rome's contempt will be our best advantage!" Temujin pointed at the church army on the map with a sneer on his face.
They were destroyed by the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years. Every time the Han Dynasty caught them, it went all out. Even if it was not the real national strength, at least the domestic elites came out in full force.
But the hatred between Rome and Parthia was obviously no less than that between the Han Dynasty and the Huns, but Rome always had an inexplicable contempt for it.
This kind of imperial war was actually intended to be used to consume the barbarians, balance domestic politics, and maintain balance and stability.
The Han Dynasty certainly had political purposes in its fight against the Huns, but those were all by-products of the fight against the Huns. The first and foremost purpose was always to fight the Huns.
But Rome is different. Rome still puts itself in the position of a ruler, hoping to get things done for itself through the hands of its enemies.
The destruction of the Thirteen Roses does not seem to bring a real awakening to Rome. Perhaps it will take the destruction of a few more Eagle Flags to make Rome realize that their old rival has returned again. Only then will Rome be able to truly show its strength.
If you don't cut the grass at its roots, it will grow again when the spring breeze blows. Rome made the same mistake in history. So after the fall of Parthia, the Sassanid Empire rose and not only replaced it but also turned around to attack Rome.
In the end, Septimius Severus established the Severan Dynasty, but was eventually destroyed by Alexander Severus.
The one who brought about the downfall of the Severan Empire was Ardashir I, the founder of the Sassanid Empire.
Temujin is now going to take advantage of this and deal a heavy blow to the church army.
There were many legions coming from Rome this time, but the command center was still the church, and it was still the position of St. Peter III, because St. Peter III was the Pope and the spokesperson of God in the eyes of everyone.
Although Cyprian was behind the scenes in control, the prestige of St. Peter III among the lower-class barbarians was indeed unrivaled.
So Temujin's plan was very simple, to kill the core of the church army and cause internal strife in the Roman army.
The problems that Rome has been hiding for a long time will completely erupt the moment they kill St. Peter III.
That is the conflict between the Senate and the church, that is, the conflict between Rome and the barbarians.
At that time, was it the Eagle Flag Legion that was the leader of the barbarians, or was it the church that was the leader of the barbarians?
Either way, it would completely muddy the Roman army.
The term "leaderless" is not just a saying, it means chaos in the true sense.
After hearing Temujin's plan, Ardashir was astounded. The plan was simple, but being able to seize this loophole required extraordinary ability.
As one of the most famous monarchs in history, Temujin fought in more than 60 battles in his life, and was only defeated in the Thirteen Wings Battle when he was young. At that time, he was no more than 20 years old .
The reason for the loss was also because of the huge gap in strength. The combat power ratio was nearly one to ten, and even Temujin had no way to deal with it.
If Ardashir's achievement was that the Sassanid Empire spanned Europe and Asia, then Temujin's achievement was to expand the scope based on Ardashir's foundation.
However, the Mongol Empire truly reached its peak during the reign of Kublai Khan.
However, the relationship between exploration and inheritance is inseparable, and the Mongol Empire's dominance is inseparable from Temujin's personal ability.
Especially the ability to seize opportunities, which is a nomadic people's ability that Temujin cannot ignore.
"We will not let Rome do whatever it wants to do!" Ardashir continued with Temujin's plan.
"After quickly killing Saint Peter III, what we have to do is to gather a large army to attack the Roman Eagle Flag. Even if we have to kill the Eagle Flag soldiers, we have to lose to those barbarian legions as much as possible!"
Ardashir's face was full of sneers. The master was weak and the branches were strong, and they were also a group of leaderless and brainless barbarians.
The barbarians will definitely want to avenge St. Peter III, and they will certainly involve the Eagle Flag Legion in the process.
And if we focus on attacking the Eagle Legion, coupled with a little separation, it will surely bring great fun to Rome.
The irreconcilability between the Roman nobles and the Roman barbarians is like that between the southern nobles and the northern nobles. The contradictions are almost obvious.
The Eagle Flag Corps does not regard the barbarians as human beings, and the barbarians do not regard themselves as human beings either, but this premise is based on the fact that the Eagle Flag Corps can suppress the barbarians.
What amazing effects would occur if the Eagle Flag Legion kept losing and the Barbarian Legion kept winning ?
Ardashir didn't know, but he felt that he would see it soon.
But the prerequisite is that they can really kill St. Peter III.
It sounds easy enough, but in order to carry out a lightning raid, only four elite troops can be mobilized.
Just as Temujin said, there must be people inside Parthia who are colluding with Rome, so the information about the three talents of the Parthian military soul cannot be hidden and must be laid out in the open.
So the most important question to think about here is whether they can make it through.
There are five eagle flags. Let’s not talk about the Fourteenth Legion for now. There are also the Fifteenth Fanatics, the Sixteenth Paladins, the Eighteenth Second Angel Legion, and the Nineteenth Third Angel Legion. To be honest, they are all not weak.
Even Ardashir could not say that they were weak. If they failed to kill their way through, then by then, they would be like a meat bun hitting a dog, with no way back.
No matter how powerful a legion is, once it is blocked and loses its mobility and is surrounded by a large army, it is almost certain to die.
Moreover, none of their four legions are good at defense. Once they are surrounded, they will have no way out.
But then again, all the skill points of their four legions have been put into breaking formations and attacks, so there probably aren't many legions that they can't kill.
The plan devised by Temujin and Ardashir was nothing short of vicious.
It is obvious that they are using themselves as stepping stones for the barbarians. It is a naked act of flattery. Who knows whether these barbarians will breed something else if they return alive.
For example, are kings, princes, generals, and ministers of different species?
Anyway, those who died were all Romans, and Ardashir could only watch for fun.
"I'm willing to believe you and take a gamble with you!" A gleam flashed in Attolamei's eyes, and he agreed to their plan without hesitation.
Ardashir and Temujin were both stunned. They both felt that Attolamei would be difficult to convince. After all, Attolamei was a die-hard supporter of the emperor, and everything he did would be in the interests of the emperor.
In comparison, Babak is more likely to agree to their plan.
"Hehehe!" Attolamei smiled at the expressions of the two men. To be honest, he did not agree with this plan from the bottom of his heart. It was too risky and a complete gamble.
And it was a big gamble. Once their four legions were defeated, Parthia might be destroyed.
But Attolamei was also very clear. As a close associate of Vogtius V, Attolamei knew Vogtius V's concerns best.
Even though they have double triple talents and double military spirit, they are still relatively weak compared to the entire Roma.
Perhaps they could indeed repel the church army by taking steady steps, but it would be just as Temujin said.
Roma can't keep making mistakes. After they win this time, Roma will definitely react. Are they going to pin their hopes on whether Roma will make something stupid?
That would be the stupidest thing to do.
The future must be fought for by oneself. Among all the plans that Attolamei had seen, Temujin and Ardashir's plan was the roughest, most crude, and most risky.
But correspondingly, Attola saw hope in this plan, a hope for a turnaround.
If we talk about destroying an empire, the best way is not to attack it from the outside, but to attack it from the inside.
Almost all powerful dynasties originated from internal strife, and there were few, or almost no, dynasties that were directly defeated.
Ninety-nine percent of dynasties originated from internal strife, including the Qing Dynasty, the last feudal dynasty in the Central Plains. Even powerful ships and guns could not completely destroy them. It was the people in the Central Plains who destroyed them.
If Rome could fall into civil strife, it would definitely be a great opportunity for Parthia.
What Parthia lacks most now is time. Even if it has awakened, it will take time to transform this awakened imperial will into real national strength.
The current stage is when the awakened imperial will is at its weakest. The history of the Huns tells them that no matter how strong the imperial will is, it can actually be broken.
If the imperial will is broken, the backlash it brings is no joke. The once powerful Xiongnu fell from the altar of the world's strongest country in an instant because their imperial will was broken, and they were then chased and beaten by the Han Dynasty.
If Huo Qubing had not died early, that generation might have been extinct.
So Artotolames knew very well that although Parthia seemed to have become very powerful, this was just a flash in the pan. It would only be a temporary solution if it could withstand the attacks of this generation of Rome.
Then Parthia will return to the top of the world in the future, but if it can't hold on, this will be the last glimmer of Parthia's glory.
In reality, Rome was capable of mobilizing a large army to destroy Parthia on the basis of blocking Great Britain.
However, from the original 19:1 to the current 46:4, they now have the capital to resist.
It is no longer the Parthian Empire that could be conquered by Ganasis with just two eagle flags.
Even if one-third of the Roman Eagle Legion arrived now, they would still be qualified to win.
But when Rome takes out two-thirds, they will once again face the disaster of national destruction.
All of them were decisive people. After the scouts they sent out and Temujin's golden eagle locked onto the location of St. Peter III, the four of them immediately led their legion in at night.
On the other side, the 2nd, 7th, 8th and 3rd eagle flags encountered the Parthian legion, and the Undead Guards and Undead King Knights directly entangled them.
Graze fought with the Seventh for a while and was disgusted.
This kind of legion that can inflict casualties, the Undead King Cavalry, is more like heavy infantry than cavalry.
The Eighth Giant Legion enjoyed the fight very much. The Undead Guards were perfect sandbags, which allowed them to give full play to their strengths and verify the results of their training.
Camillo cautiously stared at Babak who did not make a move. Having witnessed the destruction of the Thirteen Roses, he did not have the slightest contempt for the Burning Legion.
He held his ground cautiously, fearing that Babak would come directly and cause a big mess.
Babak was also concerned about the combat effectiveness of the three gifted legions. Since Camillo was willing to glare at him, he simply held back and glared at Camillo from a distance.
Both sides were worried that the other side would act ruthlessly.
