Mythical Three Kingdoms-Chapter 1703 - 1625: The Empire Never Plays Nice (3)
Taishi Ci squinted his eyes, estimating the enemy’s marching speed. Clearly, under the auspices of their Legion Talent, the enemy’s fleet was moving faster than Gan Ning’s Legion.
"Catch up with them for me!" Kasani activated his military talent with a grey-purple hue, instantly locking the entire fleet’s physical strength at its maximum, allowing his sailors to expend their power freely.
Unlike the Legion Talents of the top generals from the Great Han Empire, Kasani’s Legion Talent was specified in effect, though its range was vast, it only granted its boost to designated responders within that range.
Speaking from this perspective, Kasani’s Legion Talent was superior for large army operations compared to most Han Army talents, as he could directly empower three thousand people within tens of thousands at any time.
However, as a trade-off, a talent with similar effects compared to those from the Central Plains would be slightly weakened, and such arbitrary switching of designated talents means each designation reduces the duration by about ten percent, which also influences the war significantly.
This type of Legion Talent is considered the Kushan’s specialty, different from the non-designatable Han talents, which have a longer duration and stronger effects at the expense of targeting, essentially birthed for adaptive naval battles.
Currently, as Naval Commander, Gan Ning’s talent wasn’t suited for naval engagements; his Legion Talent remains pure battle, and due to its inability to designate responders, the talent couldn’t cover those who needed it most.
Kasani’s Legion Talent in this context essentially envelops sailors specifically, thus the entire fleet’s sailors are empowered, ensuring they can row to achieve maximum speed with infinite stamina.
On the other hand, Gan Ning’s Legion Talent actually covers three thousand within its range due to the high recognition each sailor held toward him, but most are combat personnel rather than rowers.
In essence, most of Gan Ning’s talent is wasted, yet fortunately, with Taishi Ci and Guann Hai’s joint efforts, they barely managed to cover all sailors under various talents, striving for a swift escape.
Much like Gan Ning seeing the Kushan Navy activating their talent, the commanding officer behind wasn’t blind and naturally saw Gan Ning’s troops activate three entire Legion Talents.
Besides Rome, which merges Will into their Eagle Banner, in any nation, experts with Out-of-Body Qi far exceed commanders with Legion Talents. If Out-of-Body Qi is strength, Legion Talent is the certificate of an excellent commander.
The activation of three talents alone speaks volumes; neither Out-of-Body Qi experts nor certificates for Grand Commanders are as common as cabbages, even in empires like Kushan, which doesn’t exceed twenty-five.
Thus, upon seeing three Legion Talents, the opposing side knew this navy ahead was no ordinary force, their previous underestimation vanished, followed by the emergence of six more Legion Talents enveloping their fleet.
Simultaneously, the overall speed of the Kushan Army slowed down, while the six fleets covered by talents accelerated towards Gan Ning, instantly darkening his complexion with the realization an empire never trifles.
"..." Taishi Ci looked gravely at the seven talents behind them, honestly, aside from the Central Plains, this was his first sight of so many Legion Talents.
"So at least seven fleets have Legion Talents?" Gan Ning felt overwhelmed, initially thinking this was a Central Plains-exclusive power, realizing that earlier encounters weren’t elites but nothing more than a round of kickball.
In truth, Gan Ning wasn’t mistaken, the previous fleet bore the commander title but truly was a product of compromise.
