In the world of Type-Moon, start by becoming Morgan's husband!

"In exchange, I will not have any contact with anyone other than my teacher!"

"Nero, are you going to tie our fates together?"

"Hmm! What do you mean by tied together? I am one with the teacher. Isn't this just proving how well our shapes match?"

"Nero, don't say such things. The teacher won't tolerate it."

"Then don't endure it - Yu's inner self can accommodate the whole of Rome!"

In the new moon, their bodies were once again entangled together.

Ian knew that Nero would have his way with him for the rest of his life.

but--

There's nothing wrong with the feeling of being unable to extricate yourself, right?

[The relationship between you and Nero has reached a very deep stage. ]

[Although you are not married, you have actually reached the other side which can be called happiness. ]

[And Nero also regards dating you as the most enjoyable form of entertainment. ]

[This encourages her to constantly strive for excellence in government affairs, so that she can gain more praise from you.]

You think there is nothing wrong with this kind of life.

【But things often don’t go as smoothly as imagined. 】

[More than a month after the Roman army set out to provide support, news of the defeat came back.]

[The combat capability of Brittanicus in leading the troops is beyond your and Nero's imagination.]

[“I must lead the army immediately!”]

【Nero made this decision very decisively.】

[Of course, she didn't leave you alone, but took you with her to the front line. ]

[Just as I thought at the beginning - as long as you are here, Nero feels that he can do anything. ]

[But you are still very worried about how Brittanicus could raise enough combat power to destroy the Roman army under such circumstances. ]

[You should know that his appeal had disappeared the day he left the Roman capital.]

【At the same time, the troops Nero sent out were not just filler troops. 】

【You feel that the situation is far more serious than you thought. 】

[This premonition soon became a reality. ]

Ubiolum, the city where Nero was born, was also the hometown of Agrippina.

This was the site of the revolt of Brittanicus and also the scene of the great defeat of the Roman army.

however--

When Nero's army and chariots arrived here, they were shocked by what they saw.

The entire Ubiolum was completely plunged into an indescribable darkness, and it was difficult to discern the outlines of anything wherever he looked.

In such a horrible environment, skeletons with disfigured faces kept crawling up from the ground, and then pushed the front line forward little by little.

Looking at this terrifying scene, the soldiers dared not move forward even a step.

Even Nero himself gasped.

"What's this……"

But Ian, who was initiated into Roman magic, noticed something completely different.

It smells like magic, and it's very strong.

Someone... has set up some kind of barrier here that can drive the dead to rise again!

407. The military camp can't change anything/The unbeatable enemy/The meteorite falls from the sky (4k)

【This is a sight you have never seen before.】

[Deep darkness surrounded the city of Ubiolum, transforming it into a city like hell.]

[Countless skeletons slowly rose from it, forming the most powerful weapon to advance the front line.]

"..."

Ian gasped.

It was the first time he had seen a scene like this.

The dark mass of bones was spreading outward at an extremely slow speed, destroying everything that was blocking it.

If no one hadn't seen it with their own eyes, I'm afraid no one would believe that this was real.

No wonder...the Roman troops sent out earlier were defeated so easily.

This is an enemy that is impossible to defeat with weapons!

The moment he realized this, Ian immediately conveyed this information to Nero.

"Your Majesty, the situation looks quite bad."

"Let's... retreat first."

Nero was already quite obedient to Ian's words, and the current situation was indeed far beyond the Roman emperor's imagination.

"I understand."

The young emperor raised the sword, which symbolized the army's appeal, and waved it in the air.

"Withdraw troops!"

[At Nero's suggestion, you temporarily evacuated to a city far away from the darkness.]

[Of course, this will not affect its continued expansion - this is not something that can be determined by you or Nero's will.]

[You continue to observe the situation. If darkness approaches again, retreat immediately.]

In the Roman military camp, Nero and Ian were discussing what had just happened.

There are only two of them here, so there is no need to be too careful about the way they address each other.

Thinking back on everything he had seen, Nero's expression became more serious.

"teacher."

"What do you think that could be?"

"Magic." Ian quickly gave his answer, "A kind of magic whose principle we still don't understand."

"It created a barrier there, causing the bone monsters that should have fallen to revive in the current way and become the driving force for advancing the battle line."

"This is why our army cannot win - because the enemy is infinite and cannot be completely eliminated in the usual way."

"..."

As a pioneer in the systematization of Roman magic learning, Ian's words are naturally trustworthy.

Combining the results of the previous discussion between the two, the young emperor soon came to a new conclusion.

"teacher."

"If so, didn't Yu's mother arrange this?"

"It's very likely." Ian nodded, "Or... this should be the truth."

After all, in the whole of Rome, apart from the army of magicians she trained for Nero, the only one who mastered magic was that cruel and vicious woman.

"But is there something wrong with this?" Nero quickly thought of a new question.

"Since Yu's mother has such powerful magic, why didn't she release it during the previous conflict?"

"That's the crux of the matter, Nero," the man replied, having sorted out his thoughts.

"What happened to her after she met Brittany Cuss is something we still don't understand."

"..."

Nero frowned slightly.

Obviously, as the emperor of Rome, she did not like the feeling of being restricted by others - after all, the whole of Rome was her property, and a traitor like this should not survive even for a second.

Ian saw what Nero was thinking, reached out and touched her head, gently comforting her.

"Nero, don't worry."

"With me here, I'll definitely be able to figure out what it is."

"..."

The girl hugged the man, buried her head in his chest, and nodded gently.

"Yes, I understand."

【You didn't just appease Nero verbally.】

[You must never allow her path to becoming emperor to be blocked by others.]

[As long as Nero is still alive, she can only be the emperor of Rome. ]

[Of course, you haven't forgotten the tyrant future Leif mentioned - you always remind Nero not to get angry with his soldiers because of a temporary obstacle.]

[You asked for a war horse from the soldier.]

【You took the bow and arrows and warned the soldiers not to tell Nero about these things.】

[You headed alone to the vicinity of the darkness that was eroding the surrounding land.]

[You observed as safely as possible.]

[You have discovered some information that was previously missed in the hasty withdrawal.]

In the military camp, Ian, who had just returned from an expedition, was analyzing the intelligence he had obtained.

The first thing that can be confirmed is that this mass of darkness is indeed expanding outward with the city of Ubiorum as its center, and the lands affected will become areas where the dead are resurrected.

Obviously, it is impossible to defeat them by conventional means (including but not limited to fighting).

After all, the enemy's numbers are endless, while the Roman soldiers will only become fewer and fewer.

And because of the existence of this transformation mechanism, they will even become a vital force that promotes the expansion of darkness.

but--

This transformation did not happen overnight.

Using the bow and arrow in his hand, Ian has successfully shot and killed several skeletons, and then witnessed the entire process of their resurrection to prove this.

There seems to be a time difference between the resurrected individuals, but it is not that long.

Will this... be the key to defeating it?

But how to take advantage of this?

Ian thought hard but couldn't figure it out - he realized that there was no way he could take advantage of this.

At this moment, the curtain was suddenly pulled open.

Then, Nero appeared there.

However, unlike her usual cute and well-behaved appearance when she came in front of Ian, her expression at this moment seemed very unhappy and her actions became much more aggressive.

tap--

tap--

The young emperor, who had led the army in person, came to her teacher and pushed him onto the makeshift bed.

At this moment, those green eyes were burning red like flames.

"Teacher, you're going too far!"

"Why did you go to such a dangerous place secretly without telling me?"

"..."
