"I'll leave this singularity to you. Don't let me down."
The two ultimate beasts communicated here, and finally, as the deal was reached, their pupils faded, their tentacles closed, and everything returned to normal.
The sky in Rome is still as blue as yesterday.
Various internationally renowned distilled spirits, such as Moutai, Wuliangye, whiskey, brandy, gin, rum, etc., are all blended with high-quality base liquors. In the production process of liquor, the aroma is generated by fermentation, the aroma is enhanced by distillation, and the shape is formed by blending. Blending technology can be regarded as the finishing touch of winemaking.
The so-called "blended wine" in the news means passing off inferior goods as good ones. Please don't misunderstand.
Chapter 270 Nero's Abnormality and Boudica's Pain
Let’s put aside for the moment Shuoyue, who returned to the base and led his army across the sea. Nero and Fujimaru arrived in Gaul first after a forced march.
"To all the soldiers who participated in the Gallic Expedition, thank you for fighting hard for me, my people, and my Rome!"
"From now on, I will also contribute to the expeditionary force. There are other soldiers who are worth a thousand men here!"
"We cannot possibly lose this battle! May the glory of victory belong to me and your beloved Rome!"
Not long after arriving at the military camp, Nero personally took the stage and delivered a moving speech to the soldiers. Inspired by the emperor, the soldiers cheered and their morale soared.
"What a loud cheer! Is this the charm of Emperor Nero as a leader during his heyday?" Fujimaru stood in the corner, showing a hint of amazement.
"I think so. But it's incredible that such a popular emperor would... No, let's not talk about it. This cannot be said. People living in the past cannot know the future. This is our policy." The doctor on the other end of the bracelet suddenly said while tapping on the keyboard.
“Hmm, this reaction… Fujimaru, you guys…”
Before he finished speaking, a gentle voice came from the other side.
"Ah, you're here sooner than expected, Emperor Nero Claudius. Hmm, is this innocent boy the guest general in the rumors? You can't judge a person by his appearance. I heard that you are very strong.
She was a pretty red-haired woman holding a long sword and a shield. Perhaps because she had been on the battlefield for a long time, she had a plump figure but also a tough temperament.
"Welcome to you from afar. I am Boudica, the general of the Gallic expeditionary force."
Boudica was the queen and queen of the ancient Iceni tribe (Iceni) in East Anglia, England. She led the British tribes in an uprising against the rule of the Roman occupation forces. She destroyed the three major cities of Roman Britain and killed more than 70,000 enemies. She was a victorious queen who was infinitely close to success.
Such an irreconcilable enemy of Rome actually transformed himself into a general under Nero. As I said before - history is really amazing.
Is this considered history?
Because Mash was not there, Boudica did not show her motherly side, but in a clean and neat style, she introduced the servant next to her, Spartacus, who was also the leader of the rebels, to Fujimaru and the doctor. At this time, Nero, who had finished his speech, also walked towards the crowd.
"General Boudica, you have been able to fight the enemy for so long with our current strength. Well, I want to express my gratitude to you!"
Just as Boudica was about to refuse with a smile, a chill gripped her heart, causing her to hold her breath.
The part of the spirit base that belongs to "Britain" is wailing, conveying the fear of being a prey.
The source of this fear comes from the smiling emperor.
"Your hostility has been revealed, Boudica." Unconsciously, the blond emperor's smile gradually took on the color of black mud.
"Oh, oppressor..." As if sensing something, Spartacus arched his back like a beast and roared in a low voice.
"You are right - the Yu now is the Rome itself that you hate."
Rome.
What a heavy word this is for Boudica.
The cause of the incident came from a treaty. Nero's mother Agrippina the Younger poisoned and killed the then Emperor Claudius I in order to ensure Nero's smooth succession to the throne. During the turbulent period of transition from the old to the new, in order to stabilize Britain in the west, Rome signed a treaty with the Iceni royal family, which would give Britain part of its land in exchange for their support.
But when Nero came to power, he went back on his word and declared that the land was not a gift to them but a loan. Now not only did he want to return the original land to Rome, but he also required the Iceni royal family to cede another part of the territory as interest on the loan.
Boudica, the queen of Iceni, naturally rejected this request. As a result, Rome directly sent troops to intervene with force. Not only did they seize the land and confiscate the royal property, the Roman army also raped Boudica's two daughters in the street. Boudica herself was beaten to death. This was the source of the uprising that year.
Rome, so arrogant, so tyrannical, it seemed like a synonym for the most fundamental evil of mankind.
Nero now made Boudica feel the humiliation and grief she felt at that time again.
"Nero, you—"
The smile disappeared, not only Boudica's, but Nero's as well.
"Um, what's wrong with Yu?" Looking at the dumbfounded people around her, Nero patted her head and showed a very puzzled expression, "Um... Yu remember standing here and talking to you just now?"
Boudica looked silently at the enemy and emperor in front of her.
At first glance, it seemed like Nero's prank, but the no longer trembling spirit base and the silent Spartacus were undoubtedly telling her that the Nero in front of her had returned to his original appearance and was the wise man who made her willing to put aside the grudges between her family and country and fight for a bigger world.
However, that sentence and that smile were like thorns that pierced deeply into Boudica's heart, reminding her all the time that beneath the glory of Rome, the darkness was so thick and lurking.
".Um, what was it? I seem a little tired. Boudica, I'll leave these guests to you. Tell them about the war situation in Gaul. I have a headache and need to lie down for a while."
"Got it... The Emperor of Rome."
Fortunately, Nero was suffering from a headache at the time and did not notice Boudica's subtle change in wording.
At nightfall, Shuoyue, who had calculated the time accurately, led his troops across the Mediterranean Sea and docked in the enemy's hinterland.
As for the timing...it was just when Nero said something hurtful.
But it was as if the protagonists in the story had been reversed. This time, Shuoyue, as the 'invader', had to lead the tired soldiers to meet the sudden attack of a crazy man after landing on the enemy's territory.
“Oooooooh ...
The chaotic brain only allowed the output of incoherent words. The purple-haired man who had once escaped from the danger suddenly gained confidence from nowhere and once again single-handedly went after the enemy who had defeated him.
"Stand by for battle, First Legion on the battlefield."
Using the power of the spiritual base to suppress the soldiers' sleepiness, Shuoyue skillfully summoned the Blood Evil and sent the First Legion, which was most skilled in fighting servants, to engage Caligula head-on.
Then, there was an unexpected blow.
"Boom!"
The Rose Spear, the Demon's Scales, and tentacles with indescribable shapes broke through the flesh and blood and struck hard at the spreading blood evil.
"This, this is...!"
“Ugh!”
The soldiers' exclamations and the berserker's painful roars rang out together, and Shuoyue frowned, feeling that the bloody defense line was difficult to recover for a while, the spirit appeared in his hand, he drew the bow and arrow, and fixed the frenzied tentacles with one arrow.
"Collect the formation, retreat, concentrate the shield soldiers, and the second legion throw the short spears!"
Giving out a series of hasty orders, the white-haired commander concentrated his attention and seriously dealt with the strange and dangerous enemy.
The real "singularity" from this singularity finally showed its fangs to them.
Chapter 271 Target, Kong Ming and Iskandar
Just like becoming the commander of the raid in World of Warcraft's Dragon's Lair, Shuoyue calculated every step precisely, locked in every opportunity, and gave the most effective commands in the simplest sentences.
"Shield soldiers move forward three feet, adult soldiers follow, and spears are ready."
At the moment the tentacles whipped and hit, part of the blood evil dissipated and part of the blood evil was transferred.
"Throw the spear out, the medic has ten seconds to act."
The blood-stained spear was extremely sharp, piercing through the demonic scales of the tentacles, taking away countless flesh and blood as it went in and out. The tentacles made a hissing sound that was almost like a scream.
When there was an opportunity, the light infantrymen who temporarily acted as medics rushed forward, pulled their comrades or corpses out of the battle circle quickly from the broken shields.
"Those who don't have time to retreat, get down, gather the formation, and form a yoke formation, quickly!"
Sensing the crisis, the soldiers sprang into action, taking up positions and setting up defenses before the lasers arrived.
Amid a violent roar, the beam of light from the destruction collided with the vast blood evil, and both were annihilated. As the light faded, blood-colored rain fell, pouring down on the tentacles and burning with magnificent flames.
"The spearmen retreated, turning into a fish-scale formation, and moved back three feet.
The moonlight was gone, and the empty night was filled with interlaced blood and red. The white-haired general stood with his sword in his hand, and the bloody murderous aura condensed with his mind, turning into a giant terracotta warrior several meters tall. The longbow in his hand slowly opened, and heavy arrows thicker than his torso were placed on it, slowly tightening it.
The soldiers retreated in an orderly manner. The tentacles on Caligula's body seemed to have miscalculated and slammed into the ground with all their might, raising a barrier of dust.
"Want to run?"
Shuoyue saw through the tentacle's intention and sneered.
Can someone's army be yours and you can come and go as you please?
The giant statue behind him loosened his hand, and a huge arrow with cold light like crystal rolled up a whirlwind and broke through the thick fog. It was more like Thor's hammer than Longinus's spear, smashing down Caligula's body and spiritual base.
"Guooooohhh——!" A sound not sure whether it was pain or relief was heard, indicating that the spirit of 'Caligula' was annihilated by the blood evil and completely dissipated into the air. The overwhelming demon tentacles also disappeared.
After the brief contact battle, Shuoyue was thinking about releasing the control of the spiritual base. All the soldiers suddenly felt the floodgates in their hearts loosen, and the gratitude for surviving the calamity, the fear of encountering the monster, and the exhaustion that made their whole bodies weak came like a tide. Suddenly, "plop plop" sounds were heard one after another, just like dumplings being pounded into a pot.
The commander standing at the back, who was racking his brains more than anyone else and exhausting his energy, did not relax. The giant statue behind him disintegrated into blood evil and was absorbed by him, but the blood in the man's eyes became more and more intense.
"Devil's scales, rose spear, there is only one opponent with these characteristics... Hmph, are you finally showing your cards?"
At this moment, Shuoyue completely understood the reason why he was summoned and the significance of the famous general possessing him.
"But... why you? In what part of your life did the shadow of the beast exist that made you descend from the Throne of Heroes to eliminate her?"
Such whispers were destined to go unanswered. Shuoyue didn't know that Nero had dreamed of the famous general's past. All he could do was put aside his doubts and try to deal with the "reality" before him.
"Rosario." The white-haired commander called his confidant, gave a few instructions, and then used his spiritual power to command the soldiers who still had physical strength to start working. With the help of Xuesha, they quickly set up a camp on the spot. The quartermaster provided meals, transported supplies from the ship, and arranged the logistics in an orderly manner, so that the soldiers who were exhausted from the journey quickly lay down in the tents, snoring.
After settling the tired soldiers, Shuoyue walked alone on the beach, silently thinking about his next move.
Even now, he still felt a little surprised in his heart - because the tentacles that possessed Caligula were not the whole picture, but at best only a small part of a huge monster.
But even so, more than a dozen people in the legion were killed on the spot, and the number of injured reached over a hundred.
Ordinary spears and swords cannot hurt this kind of monster at all. Even if it is possessed by blood evil, the soldiers themselves are still mortal. Shuoyue is unable to provide protection to everyone now. Once the enemy breaks through the shield soldiers' line, the army will be slaughtered like a ravage.
And if it reaches that level, Shuoyue can go into battle and spar with the servants, after all...
"Only a Servant can defeat a Servant." Shuoyue whispered this truth and finally understood what he should do next.
It's time to welcome a few servants in his legion.
Speaking of the masterless servants in this singularity—
"Tangible island?" Shaking his head, Shuoyue couldn't help laughing. "It's true. If a murderer like me breaks in, Stheno and the others will definitely fight back desperately, right?"
The Tangible Island is the territory of Stheno, one of Medusa's two sisters. Living with her are the dragon lady Elizabeth and Tamamonomae's cat, which is the incarnation of Tamamonomae's tail.
The combat power of the three servants sounds very good at first glance, but it’s a pity that Shuoyue does not need servants who are not pretty, nor does he need servants who have no battlefield experience to appear in his legion.
Without proper restraint, they will only cause trouble.
"It's ok for Tamamono Cat to take care of logistics, but unfortunately, if I don't twist their wills, they will never join me, that's all."
Flipping through his memories, the man quickly thought of his second target. Although they were servants with a master, they were two extremely powerful Heroic Spirits—
"The later Wu Hou and the Macedonian conqueror king?"
Of course, it is also possible to say that it was El-Melloi II and his boy.
In the original plot, they were controlled by Leif, so they kidnapped Boudica, lured Nero over, confirmed her will, and then let her go and was killed.
But once they get serious, the combination of the peerless military strategist and the invincible overlord will probably completely defeat Nero at that time.
"According to the possessed person's memory, his base is near Massilia... Well, it's time to get ready."
The enemy has already played his cards, and it is only right that Shuoyue retaliate.
The white-haired commander raised his arm, and the Qin Black Bird flag, symbolizing the virtue of water, fluttered in the wind.
He no longer belonged to this era, a lonely shadow left behind by someone from the past. He no longer had any comrades behind him, and even the battle flag was not real, but a spiritual creation.
But even so, a bright smile that no one saw appeared on the man's face, and he whispered in a strange and calm voice.
"Da Qin..."
No one responded.
Respond in your heart.
"Wan Sheng."
From beginning to end, he never thought of taking Rome into consideration.
Or rather, both he and him are like this.
