Concordian 2nd legion

Overview

The Concordian 2nd Legion is one of the military legions of the Holy Empire of Concordias Army , known for its ruthless tactics and reputation as the Empire's blunt instrument. The legion is often employed in situations where decisive and uncompromising action is required, making it a feared force both within and outside the Empire.

Leadership and Structure

The 2nd Legion is led by Cardinal Rahab , a figure shrouded in mystery like the other cardinals of the Concordian military. Little is publicly known about him, and his command style is characterized by an emphasis on overwhelming force and ruthless efficiency. The legion is composed of seasoned soldiers who are trained to execute orders without hesitation, reflecting the brutal reputation of their commander.

Military Campaigns

Kingdom of Zeyang

The 2nd Legion's most infamous campaign was against the Kingdom of Zeyang . Deployed to subjugate the region, the legion not only defeated the local forces but completely eradicated the entire civilization. The assault was marked by extreme brutality, with no survivors left and the kingdom reduced to ruins. This campaign cemented the legion's reputation as the Empire's most ruthless force.

1st and 4th Plain Wars

Following the destruction of Zeyang, the 2nd Legion participated in the 1st and 4th Plain wars , major conflicts aimed at expanding Concordian influence into the Jubal Plains . Despite their reputation for conquest, the legion faced fierce resistance and was ultimately repelled on both occasions. These setbacks highlighted the limits of their aggressive tactics, especially against the unique challenges posed by the tribes of the Jubal planes

Current Status and Reputation

Since the Plain Wars, the 2nd Legion has not been fully deployed in any major conflicts. There are widespread rumors that the High Temple, Concordia's governing authority, hesitates to unleash the legion due to the high body toll associated with their operations. The legion's ability to conquer is undisputed, but their methods often result in such extensive loss of life and destruction that they are seen as a last resort, even by the Empire's standards.

The 2nd Legion's fearsome reputation serves as a double-edged sword; while it instills terror in enemies, it also raises ethical and practical concerns within the Empire. Their existence as a force of extreme measures has made them a powerful yet controversial tool in Concordia's arsenal.
