At this moment, Ma Chao, who was having fun among a group of wolves, was stunned. What happened? Why was Severus the first to name him? What happened?
I, Ma Chao, have been in Rome for so many years, and this is the first time I have been called out in a non-war situation. What did I do wrong?
"Don't look, it's you, Chao!" Severus pointed directly at Ma Chao and said.
"Well, Your Majesty, why me?" Ma Chao scratched his head, really confused.
Ma Chao is still waiting for Caesar to be prostituted for nothing, and even if it doesn't work, he still wants to let Tachito experience what it means to have good fortune. Why hasn't this worked yet, and he has been sent to Media, even though it is indeed him over there.
defense area, but didn’t he stay in Rome before and no one cared about him?
Severus was silent and just looked at Ma Chao. Why did Ma Chao get out immediately after the military parade? Isn't it because there are not many top legions available in Rome? Who would have thought that the entire army would collapse? You
Ma Chao has nothing to do with him.
If the previous Praetorian Guards Corps was just the same thing to Rome, the Eagle Flag was not a Praetorian Guards, but now it is completely different. Think about it, some of the soldiers of the Ninth Spanish Legion with three talents even collapsed.
Even the Guards cannot maintain the level of dual talents. How miserable are the other legions?
"Because among the legions currently active in Rome, the Seventh Eagle Banner Legion is already one of the very few pure Guards legions." Perennis sighed and said, "The changes in the sky have led to the activation of the essence of heaven and earth, which in turn has led to the innate talents.
The difficulty of control has increased significantly, and almost all legions have experienced talent collapse, but you have not."
Ma Chao scratched his head, he had no idea how big the change was.
"You are a Qi Po Jie, and your inner Qi attribute has been transformed into thunder and lightning. After the heavenly change, Shen Po was suppressed. Your individual strength can be used even better in the legion." Perennis explained to Ma Chao seriously.
He said, "Now we need you to sit in Media to suppress the possible chaos in Central Asia and ensure the interests of the Roman Empire."
Even if Rome determines that the scope of the change is world-wide, when the talent of their legions collapses, the talent of all parts of the world is also collapsing, but they must also show at the first opportunity that Rome is capable of suppressing Europe and its extended areas.
the power of.
Now, the only legions left in Rome that can be regarded as pure Praetorian Guards and above are the First Auxiliary, the Tenth Knight, the Emperor's Guardsman, the Eleventh Loyal Claudius, and the damn Seventh Eagle Banner.
The other Eagle Banner Legions all collapsed, but the degree of collapse was different. Even if the full complement of three talents such as the Ninth and Thirtieth collapsed, half or even most of them remained in the Guards, and the rest were still in the Guards.
All have dual talent levels.
As for the 3rd and 20th Imperial Guards, which were originally exceptional levels, their newly added headquarters even fell directly to the first level of talent. As for the original headquarters, they basically retained the level of the Imperial Guards. This can also be seen from this.
The degree of stalemate between the two armies.
Of course, even if you still retain the level of the Imperial Guard, it will be very difficult to reach the exceptional level as before. The soldiers of the Third Giant Legion can basically only become close to the three-meter level. Of course, the original fatal weakness has also been eliminated.
For the most part, there are pros and cons.
In addition to the above-mentioned legions, other legions have fallen extremely far. The Imperial Guard has fallen to the point where most of them have dual talents, or even directly collapsed into single talents.
Therefore, the upper echelons of Rome have very few choices. The first auxiliary and the tenth knight must not be able to move lightly. The same is true for the emperor's guard. Eleven can move, but Severus and Perennis cannot
Blind man, the entire army of the Extreme Guards on the 11th is simply a fake, and it is a level maintained by force.
All the other legions that had replenished their troops had collapsed and released part of their first-level talent. Eleven had replenished about half of its reserve troops, and the entire army was actually maintained at the level of a fifth-level imperial guard. Do you think everyone is a fool?
Severus is not stupid, and neither is Perennis, so they vaguely guessed how Luciano did it, so Eleven must not take action in the short term. Once he does, Eleven Eagle Banner Legion is very likely to
Collapsed into stragglers ranging from sky-high regulars to untalented regulars.
The current limit level of the Guards that can be maintained is definitely the result of the extraordinary elites among the Eleven Eagle Banners cooperating with Luciano to forcibly maintain the sacrifice talent. This behavior can at least keep those soldiers who have joined in to get the first
Strength and then master the power, master the talent and power of the Guards level at a faster speed.
If this method is broken, with the current essence of heaven and earth, it will probably take only two years to go from being a pawn to having dual talents. After that, you can polish your talents, master them thoroughly, and smelt them into yourself. According to the previous lack of essence of heaven and earth,
It will take at least another two years to master the speed of back-feeding on your own.
To produce a Praetorian Guard in five years, you have to consider whether they will die in battle during this period, so Eleven must not move arbitrarily now. After all, in the next era, the difficulty of advancing to the Praetorian Guard with dual talents will explode, and Rome will collapse in a short time.
It is basically impossible for the legions going down to become the Praetorian Guards.
As a result, the only Praetorian Guards that Rome could use to deter the entire eastern border counties and radiate to Central Asia was Ma Chao's Seventh Eagle Banner Corps.
Ma Chao didn't understand the importance of his current situation at all. In this era, the pure imperial guard legion was just like Li Jue who was sent to Congling. They could suppress the countries in the Western Region with the strength of a legion. This was a head-on confrontation.
strength.
"Now only your legion can carry out this task. The eastern border counties will assign you four auxiliary legions, all of which will obey your orders." Ganassis' eyes were very vicious, and he could tell at a glance that Ma Chao's current situation was complete.
It’s different.
If Ganassis had the power to sanction Ma Chao at any time before, then Ma Chao, who holds the Praetorian Guards, can now sanction Ganassis, so just go with the flow and make good friends. Who can let Rome now have a purely Praetorian Guard legion?
There are only so many left.
"Wait, it's not that I disagree, I just don't understand what happened?" Ma Chao raised his hand and said. He found that this group of people was very eager now. He didn't mind working for Roma. He was just a worker.
There is nothing wrong with working part-time in Rome.
"Celestial changes are worldwide." Perennis sighed and said, "Excluding the Praetorian Guard level and above, according to our estimates, the number of soldiers in Rome who can maintain the double talent level is about one hundred thousand, and there are also
Many of them are reserve soldiers of various Eagle and Banner regiments."
Ma Chao was stunned when he heard this, double talents of more than 100,000?
"All others have fallen to one talent?" Ma Chao looked at Perennis in disbelief.
"Yes, even among the Eagle Banners, there is an entire legion that has fallen to the first level of talent, not to mention other legions." Perennis looked at Ma Chao extremely seriously. At this moment, Ma Chao's not so clear mind finally understood Perennis.
Nice meaning.
"In other words, Rome's hundreds of thousands of backbones have dropped to just one talent?" Ma Chao said in a tone of voice. This is a big trouble.
"Yes, and it's worse than you think." Severus looked at Ma Chao and said calmly, "The maximum bonus for soldiers with one talent is only more than double, and this is already infinitely close to the level of two talents.
, In fact, most single talents have only been improved by about 0.75 times. This level cannot be crushed by regular soldiers who can implement military orders and cooperate."
In fact, it was not that hundreds of thousands of soldiers fell to one level of talent, but that the talent of hundreds of thousands of soldiers collapsed. This level was even enough to say that it affected the foundation of Rome.
Although the Han Dynasty also suffered from the direct collapse of shield guard talent, there were too many surviving veterans in the Han Dynasty, and there were no class issues in the civil system.
That's right, the current problem in Rome is not the collapse of talent, but whether the hundreds of thousands of regular troops still have the foundation to deter European barbarians after the collapse of talent. Maybe they have it, maybe they don't. It all depends on people's hearts.
At least in terms of strength, hundreds of thousands of soldiers with mainly one talent are definitely not equipped to fight against tens of millions of barbarians. After all, from a world perspective, the worst cut can only be reduced to regular pawns, while tens of millions of barbarians
, there are at least millions of decent soldiers.
In the past, when the number of Praetorian Guards per capita was high, millions of barbarian soldiers were just the same thing to Rome. But now, even if the barbarians can produce hundreds of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of thousands of talents, Rome has to take it seriously.
Yes, times have changed after all.
This is also the reason why Severus immediately notified Ma Chao to return to Media. In this era, a praetorian guard stationed in the eastern border county may be more effective than a three-talented army stationed in the past era.
After all, in the previous era, there were many barbarians at the Imperial Guard level. If they really wanted to stack up, even three talents could kill them. But now, with mainstream pawns and one talent, facing the Imperial Guards, it would be like cutting grass. After all, they could defeat a group of soldiers.
A mixed army with talents and regular soldiers is much easier to defeat than a mixed army with guards and dual talents.
"I will arrange a carriage for you and have the power to take the initiative to conquer. After the meeting, we will go to Media. This time you must go with the army." Severus warned, other times he didn't care much, but this time
This time, Ma Chao must obey the command.
"Okay." Ma Chao nodded after hearing this. Over in Media, the sky collapsed, and I don't know what happened to Aldashir. I couldn't beat it before, but I don't know what will happen this time.
Taqito looked at Ma Chao's extreme resentment and couldn't understand why he collapsed and why Ma Chao didn't collapse. This was unscientific.
"Every place is tightening controls today. If there is unrest, it will be dealt with first." Severus was also ruthless. He knew exactly when to implement what policies. At this time, Rome's stability trumped all else, and everything else was postponed.
