Chapter Twenty-Three: The Explosion of Spiritual Attributes

On May 10, 183 AD, the most important military stronghold on the defense line of Andrea's Wall, Greitna, and the generals of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd legions of the Ninth Army of the Roman Empire gathered in Gretna's Castle, which was built on the Andrian's Wall.

Two days earlier, Lan Nuo, the general of the First Army stationed here, had received a battle report and order from the commander of the group army, Wang Jun, in a carrier pigeon; Lan Nuo immediately summoned the bosses of the other two legions to a meeting as ordered.

The message sent back by the commander was very shocking, and when Lanno first saw it, he could barely believe his eyes.

Big news: Glasgow wins!

Glasgow, the western starting point of the former Antonine Wall, was known to several of the generals here; In fact, the area south of Antony's Wall was once part of the Roman Empire, but it was only later that the Picts and Scots could not be defeated, and had to be abandoned.

Lan Nuo didn't dare to tell others that when he had just received the letter, he thought it was a distress letter from the commander; In Lan Nuo's subconscious, the young and vigorous commander of the group army was able to run back from the north side of Hadrian's Wall, which was very lucky!

But...... Wang Jun actually led the team over the vast mountains and arrived at Glasgow!

This achievement alone means that in the near future, the Ninth Army will be rewarded from Rome; This achievement recreates the largest territory that the Empire could reach in the history of British conquest.

And the royal army not only took back Glasgow, but also annihilated there an army of more than 20,000 Pictts and Scots, more than 20,000 people!

How can it be!

Just like Lan Nuo before, the other generals thought that they were going to send men and horses to rescue the commander, but when they heard the news, they were completely stunned.

The report is simple, but the data is clear.

21,769 killed and 39 captured; The Fourth Army suffered 47 killed, 21 seriously wounded, and 72 lightly wounded.

False reporting of war exploits?

At the end of the 2nd century AD, the Roman Empire was at its strongest, and at the same time, the history of the Roman Empire was about to change from prosperity to decline due to the arrival of the royal army. During this period, the Roman army had strict military discipline, clear rewards and punishments, marching, camping, sentry, drilling, dining, etc., all had strict regulations; The corresponding military law can be said to be extremely cruel, sleeping on duty, stealing, resisting orders, discarding weapons or engaging in comradeship, all of them will be beheaded.

The Roman army was not without its shortcomings, and the quality of the generals, consuls who only jumped out to command two legions in wartime, was the biggest problem. One general is incompetent, exhausting the three armies, even if the Roman legion has the strongest combat power in the world; In the military reform of Maximus promoted by Wang Jun, the post of consul was abolished, and the commander under the group army system was determined; Rome did not lack good professional soldiers and middle and junior professional officers, but excellent corps generals and senior commanders who could command large corps into battle.

Speaking of which, the Roman soldiers never thought about falsely reporting their military exploits anyway, let alone doing it.

In addition, the Roman army was also very strict in calculating the merits of battle, checking the corpses or heads of the enemy, and the army also assigned reading personnel to do this, and even the generals were not allowed to interfere. Children, old people, and women who are not sure whether they are soldiers or not are not counted in the battle merits, regardless of whether the child or the old man is really holding a weapon and wants to cut you.

Take Glasgow and annihilate more than 20,000 enemies, and then the prestige of the Ninth Army will spread throughout Rome; However, this is all done by the Fourth Legion, a rookie Egg Legion, and it really has nothing to do with their three old legions.

The commander only brought a recruit egg to form the Fourth Legion, although the number far exceeded the ordinary legion, but it was only more than 12,000 horses, and against the coalition of more than 20,000 Picts and Scots, the coalition army was completely wiped out! The Picts and Scots were very savage, very fierce enemies, and the veterans did not want to confront them in the wild.

The recruit eggs have created a miracle!

And along with the news of the victory in Glasgow, there was a new order from the commander.

The first order: Otta, the adjutant general of the Second Army of the Ninth Army, led the cavalry corps directly under the Army Group from Gretna, and rushed to Glasgow along the route of the Fourth Army, which was basically safe along the way, and must arrive on the evening of May 17.

The second order: Clarke, the general of the Second Army of the Ninth Army, led the Second Army to follow the cavalry corps from Gretna, split at Lockerbie, advance all the way west to the westernmost Stranraer, and then advance north along the coastline, clearing out the captives along the way, a total of 10 tribes, large and small, and finally arriving at Glasgow to garrison; Arrive in Glasgow no later than 11 June.

The third order: Detes, the general of the Third Army of the Ninth Army, led the Third Army from the east of Hadrian's Wall to another Roman stronghold of Coldestrim, passing through Lauder to Edinburgh, clearing out a total of seven enemy tribes along the way; Arrive in Edinburgh no later than 25 May.

Because intelligence shows that the elite warriors of the Pictish and Scotsian tribes in this area were basically wiped out in the First Battle of Glasgow, and the approximate location of the tribe is also known, in fact, the risk of the second and fourth legions' clearance operations is greatly reduced.

General Lanno and Adjutant Benari led the First Army to defend Hadrian's Wall, while the Third Army Adjutant Alex led six brigades with a total of 3,600 crossbowmen to assist in the defense.

The "left-behind" Lan Nuo was a little depressed, he actually wanted to go to Glasgow to see it......... How exactly did the commander annihilate more than 20,000 enemies?

At the sound of an order, the officers and soldiers of several legions in the direction of Hadrian's Wall were excitedly discussing the incredible achievements of the Fourth Army Corps, while they were busy changing guards, assembling, ordnance, food and grass, and it was not a simple matter for the army to move.

What is the Fourth Legion doing?

On the morning of May 8th, almost all of the recruits vomited darkly, after the rainstorm that had rained until dawn had cleared the battlefield countless times.

More than 20,000 corpses were scattered on the open ground outside the inner ring of more than 70,000 square meters, which was too terrifying, too tragic, and too disgusting; The recruits have seen such a scene there, and they vomit wildly while cleaning the battlefield; Not to mention these recruit eggs, even those officers who were poached from the Second Army, there are also many who vomit until they have nothing to vomit.

Your grandfather's! The commander was so bad that he actually said that there were only more than two thousand enemies!

Fortunately, with the statistics of military merits, the foreseeable huge honors and rich rewards have completely diluted the slightest resentment in the hearts of the officers and men against the commander.

The military merit statistician encountered a problem, who can tell how many enemies he killed in this dark night battle?

Wang Jun waved his hand, and everyone in the Fourth Army was meritorious and divided equally.

It's not a good idea, but it does solve the problem.

In a battle, 21,769 enemies were killed, 39 were captured, and only more than 100 casualties were inflicted. In addition to the high-ranking generals of the two group armies of Wang Jun and Villejuris, the 12,100,000 officers and men of the Fourth Army Corps have nearly 10,000 more than one enemy head per capita, and their combat achievements are extremely impressive.

Villeries was then responsible for directing the Fourth Army to rebuild the camp, but this time it was built according to the standard of a permanent surname camp, and it took much longer until Otta arrived with a cavalry regiment directly under the group army of more than 5,000 horses, and the construction of the camp was only half completed.

After the war, Wang Jun not only gained the absolute respect of the upper and lower levels of the Fourth Legion, but also reaped the benefits of a significant increase in his own spiritual caste. Therefore, Wang Jun, who was in a particularly comfortable mood, ignored the opposition of Villeries and the captains of the Fourth Legion, and secretly took all his personal guards and went deep into the mountains north of Glasgow.

Of course, Wang Jun did not get carried away to his own death; Now Wang Jun's spiritual surname definitely belongs to the non-human category, and his ability to sense crises has been greatly improved, and the plug-in also jumped out to say that after the spiritual surname is over 100, there are many other uses, and now it is more than 1,000 digits, and the use is even broader; However, the plug-in is obviously still the same face, saying that Wang Jun has to explore everything himself.

The spatial ring worn on the left hand has also exploded with the significant increase in spiritual caste; Originally, there was only 10 cubic meters of space, and Wang Jun was very happy, but now... 2187.5 cubic meters!

Perseverance without fear is the psychology of Wang Jun when he goes deep into the mountains.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Before leaving, Wang Jun checked the situation of his family name.

Host: Jun Wang

Own surname:

+ Strength: 17.0 (5.0 for a normal strong man)

+Dexterity: 19.0 (5.0 for a normal strong man)

+ Spirit: 2187.5 (5.0 for ordinary strong men)

+ Constitution: 18.0 (5.0 for ordinary strong men)

Unallocated points: 0

Support Skills:

Equestrian - proficient

Combat Skills:

Melee - Mastery

Far Combat - Rough Passage

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wang Jun also complained that the plug-in was too picky, and only killing an enemy would give a 0.1 point caste, and it was automatically assigned to the spiritual caste. But after the Battle of Glasgow, Wang Jun woke up to the fact that killing the enemy with his legions and cutting people alone were completely two different concepts; It's really cooler than fighting alone! In just one night, I got more than 2,000 surname points!

What a pity! This increase in caste is not freely distributed.

The area around Keeling is surrounded by mountains and peaks; In the narrow canyon there is an elongated lake that is 20 kilometers long from east to west and 1 kilometer wide from north to south; The thousand-kilometer peak, Mount Ben Lawles, is just north of the lake; Impermeable verdant mountains, strange rocks and cliffs everywhere, the crystal clear waters of the Dortch River, all the way over the mountains and mountains, Wang Jun feasted his eyes, this Scottish landscape is not ordinary.

Wang Jun has been in the mountains for a whole week with 100 personal guards such as Hege, and the army is well-groomed, energetic, and pale... In short, everyone is doing very well; For nearly 100 years, the predecessors of the Roman legions who had to flee deep into the mountains after entering the northern part of Scotland because they were scattered by the enemy were often chased by the enemy to the point of being disgraced and disgraced.

The Space Ring is a big contributor, of course.

Wang Jun put a large amount of salt, grain, dried meat, drinking water, and a lot of other materials in it. In the mountains, there is a lot of game, Wang Jun exercises his long-range combat ability every day, longbows, javelins, bows and crossbows, taking turns to play, and the direct result is that the long-range combat skills have been improved to a higher level, from the entry to the rough; The indirect result is that people don't need to eat jerky, they can eat all kinds of natural game in Scotland every day. He Ge and the other guards were very curious about how the Commander had conjured up these things, but Wang Jun didn't say anything, and no one dared to ask.

The explosion of spiritual castes is another major contributor.

Along the way, whether it is a human or a beast, as long as it is within 2,187 meters of Wang Jun, once it is targeted at Wang Jun with hostility, Wang Jun will be able to detect it.

If a person or beast approaches within 218 meters, then Wang Jun can clearly perceive whether there is hostility or not, whether he is targeting Wang Jun or not, and can distinguish the other party's threatening surname by the intensity of the perception; If the other party is hostile at this distance and is eyeing Wang Jun, this perception will become clearer, and the number and size of the opponent can be distinguished.

The most exciting thing is that at 21 meters above and below, no matter day or night, Wang Jun can clearly "observe" all people or beasts in this range, and inanimate objects can also be perceived. This "observation" is different from seeing with the eyes, how to say it? It's a bit like a large number of cameras 360 degrees surrounding the object being "observed", while Wang Jun looks through the screen, there is sound and image, but the resolution of these cameras is just a little worse.

In addition to perceiving this spiritual caste application, Wang Jun found two other uses.

Hypnosis, this is a new ability that Wang Jun first confirmed.

Controlling objects is the second ability developed.

Wang Jun was very proud of this for a short time; Coincidentally, at this time, the elusive plug-in suddenly jumped out and laughed at Wang Jun fiercely, saying that these are all superficial kung fu, and 2b will be proud...

"What is real kung fu?" Although it was a little disappointing, Wang Jun still asked the plug-in very much in anticipation.

"The real use is...... cough cough ......" The plug-in of the bull's nose bombardment criticism of Wang Jun was suddenly stuck, and after a few sounds, he decisively flashed, no matter how Wang Jun called, he didn't appear.

"Alright! I know that this product is unreliable. Wang Jun was speechless, it was really better to rely on others than on himself; Plug-ins that have broken on the earth network are even more unreliable.
