Oh no, I really became Cao Mengde!

As they were talking, a figure suddenly fell from the sky among them. It was discovered to be a white horse with wings on both sides of its body.

Sitting on it was the tall Medusa with hair that reached her calves.

"How is it?" Cao Mengde asked Medusa.

Medusa fell from the sky because Cao Mengde sent Medusa to investigate first to see what the village called Appian Village by Nero was like.

In war, the most important thing is not manpower and logistics, but reconnaissance.

If your reconnaissance capabilities are poor, then you will not be able to learn about the enemy's movements and personnel deployment arrangements, and you will not be able to respond in advance. You can only wait for the enemy to attack you before you can react and passively defend.

Such a battle is a lost one.

On the contrary, if you catch up with the reconnaissance, you can react in advance according to the enemy's actions. At that time, it will not be the enemy attacking, but your own attack.

Medusa dismounted from her pegasus, a mythical creature that was born from the blood of Medusa after the hero Perseus killed her and she turned into a monster.

After Medusa became a Heroic Spirit, the sublimation of the legend allowed her to use Pegasus as a treasure. As long as she used her own blood as a medium, she could summon Pegasus and drive it skillfully.

To put it in a more humorous way, Pegasus can be regarded as the child of Medusa. So is she considered a wife? Cao Mengde didn't want to understand.

With Pegasus, Medusa can be seen as an aerial reconnaissance unit, which is very difficult for the enemy to detect and is particularly secretive.

After landing, Medusa replied: "It's a little different from what I imagined. It doesn't look like a village, but more like a town."

"Town?" Nero was stunned for a moment, then he couldn't help but say happily: "I remember that Appian Village was just a simple little village. It must be the credit of that mysterious Servant that it was able to develop into a town!"

"I can't wait any longer! I especially want to meet this mysterious Servant and exchange ideas with him. If possible, I must recruit such a talent!"

Olga Marie heard what Medusa said and guessed, "So, this mysterious servant might be a military strategist or a monarch?"

"It's very likely." Cao Mengde agreed very much with Olga Marie's words.

"Indeed." Tomoe Gozen also agreed, "If there is no one with certain management and leadership abilities, it will be difficult to develop a village into a town."

For example, if Jeanne d'Arc was in charge, her leadership would allow her to manage Appia Village in an orderly manner. But if Jeanne d'Arc was in charge, it would not work, as she did not have much leadership and could not manage it.

Moreover, the person who can develop Appi Village to the point where it is about to become Appi Town must have leadership ability above level A.

So Cao Mengde asked: "Have you seen anyone who looks like a leader?"

"Yes." Medusa nodded. She could see clearly in the air. "The leader is a woman with red hair."

"Another female?" Hearing this, Gudako couldn't help but say, "Could it be the true appearance of another male monarch in history?"

Don't blame her for thinking this way, as she had seen two unique examples: King Arthur and Nero.

"I'm not sure about that, Master." Medusa shook her head. She didn't know the other person.

A female Servant? Red hair?

Cao Mengde suddenly thought of a person who had a high possibility. However, he was not sure that the servant was the one he thought of, because logically speaking, the other party should have been conquered by Nero.

Tsk, except for the first to sixth singularities, the plots of the singularities in between are simply unrememberable.

At this time, Medusa continued, "By the way, I saw that the Servant has summoned his men to action, and it looks like he is preparing for battle."

"It seems that the other party already knows about our visit." Emiya said calmly, "Although I don't know how they know, and we didn't find anything unusual along the way. However, we should also take corresponding actions."

Then, everyone looked at Cao Mengde, waiting for his instructions.

"Hmm..." Cao Mengde thought for a moment and asked Nero: "Nero, I want to ask, has Rome recruited any servants to help?"

Hearing this, Nero said helplessly: "I have recruited a few, but most of them died on the front line. That's why I left Rome and went to Appian Village to recruit servants."

"Then, Your Majesty, among the servants you recruited, is there a Rider?"

"Rider? No. It's either Berserker or Saber. There's no Rider."

"Oh, then I understand."

So Cao Mengde said: "Then everyone, get ready for battle. There may be a fierce battle next."

"Why?" Olga Marie asked curiously.

"Ah, that's because the next Servant to appear might be furious and want to kill Nero."

Hmm?

Nero looked confused as he listened to Cao Mengde's words.

Chapter 153 Let’s rebel together!

Although Appian Village was about to develop into a town under Boudica's leadership, it was still a village after all.

Because the village of Apia did not have a city wall made of stones, as a town should have, it only had a wall made of wooden boards reinforced with wooden pillars.

Such a wall can only keep out wild beasts, but is generally useless against human armies. With a little effort, you can destroy it and break into the Appi village.

Therefore, Boudica had no intention of fighting a battle to defend the city, but instead took the initiative to attack Nero's incoming Roman army and fight outside the city.

However, even if Appian Village had stone walls, Boudica did not want to hide in the city and fight Nero, as this was not in line with her combat style.

Moreover, from the information received from the investigation, we learned that the army led by Nero was not large in number, and it seemed that there were only a hundred people.

With such small numbers, why wouldn't they leave the city to fight?

However, Boudica did not dare to be too careless, because from the information reported by her subordinates, those people in strange costumes who followed Nero were very likely servants like her.

then--

"Spartacus, are you ready to resist with me?" Boudica said to a man beside her with a smile.

The man was only wearing steel shorts and a steel mask on his face, revealing his muscles as strong as stone.

Moreover, his complexion looked terrible and his skin color was an unhealthy gray, making him look like a zombie.

Spartacus was a Roman swordsman who led a slave war known as the Spartacus Rebellion.

Although he was suppressed in the end, his name resounded throughout Rome and even the world, and was recorded in history. The oppressed people regarded his name as a symbol of hope.

He is the servant found by Boudica, and like her, he is also a masterless servant.

After learning about Spartacus's identity, Boudica told him her plan directly, and the other party joined her team without hesitation, which greatly enhanced her power.

Hearing Boudica's words, Spartacus showed an ugly smile and said: "The rebellion is about to begin! Destroy the oppressors with my love!"

Then, a majestic aura emanated from him, enough to make ordinary people tremble. It seemed that he was ready for battle.

As a Berserker, Spartacus has reached the EX level of frenzy. Although he can still have a conversation, his mind has been fixed, and he is full of how to resist the oppressors, and he will choose the most difficult one.

In fact, normal communication is still impossible.

But Boudica didn't care much, as long as Spartacus could deal a huge blow to Nero.

As he was speaking, the adjutant standing next to Boudica suddenly pointed forward and said, "Lady Boudica! They have appeared!"

......

“I saw them!”

Mashu also reminded everyone loudly.

Then everyone saw a group of murderous troops standing on the plain ahead, and every soldier's eyes were full of determination.

In front of these soldiers, standing prominently were a red-haired woman and a blond man.

"After Sheba's observation, the man and woman leading the group were undoubtedly followers, not living people."

Olga Marie soon brought in intelligence after they showed up.

Then Cao Mengde raised his hand: "Stop for now."

So everyone stopped and looked at the army in the distance from a few dozen meters away.

Then, Cao Mengde asked Jeanne: "Joan, use your ability to see if the red-haired woman is Boudica."

"Boudica?"

When hearing this name, people who know a little about history are stunned.

Nero also frowned and fell into deep thought - this name...she seemed to have heard of it somewhere?

"Hey, Mengde, are you sure? That woman is Boudica?" Olga Marie said in a high-pitched voice, and it can be heard that she was shocked.

At this time, Jeanne used her energy [Real Name Seer] to take a quick look and said in surprise: "Master, you are right. The Servant's real name is indeed Boudica. And the Servant next to her is called Spartacus."

Hearing these two names, Emiya couldn't help but say, "How amazing! The resistance forces are actually these two? To be frank, our goal of recruiting them now may be difficult to achieve."

Tomoe Gozen was a little confused: "What's wrong? Do those two servants have any special identities?"

Gudako nodded as well. She also wanted to know what was going on, which made everyone look solemn.

So Mashu's Encyclopedia came online and said helplessly: "In short, the two servants on the opposite side are both servants who may have great hostility towards Rome."

"Especially Boudica. Her country Britannia would be invaded by the future Rome, and her daughters would be brutally humiliated. Unable to bear the humiliation, she led the kings to revolt, but was ultimately defeated by Nero's army and died on the battlefield."

“Nero——?!”

After listening to Mash's explanation, Gudako and Tomoe Gozen showed surprised expressions in unison and turned to look at Nero in the team.

At this time, Nero also remembered who Boudica was and his expression was complicated.

"Nero Claudius! It's you!"

Suddenly, a voice was heard, as if Boudica was shouting at Nero.

Hearing this, Nero narrowed his eyes, stood up without any hesitation, and replied in a sonorous and powerful voice: "I am Nero Claudius, the fifth emperor of Rome! Are you... the victorious queen of Britain?"

"what?"

Boudica was a little surprised to hear Nero's reply. She didn't expect Nero to recognize her. You know, at this time, Nero hadn't fought with her yet!

But before she could reply, she heard Nero continue: "What happened to you was not what I wanted, nor was it something I could control. If Queen Victory is willing, I can make a solemn apology to you!"

"Oh, apologize..." Boudica laughed sarcastically and shouted through gritted teeth: "If you want to apologize, then apologize with your life!"

Hearing Boudica's hateful words, Cao Mengde felt something was wrong. This Boudica seemed a little different from the Boudica he knew, and there was too much hatred in her.

There is absolutely no trace of the motherly temperament that he likes.

It looked like a battle was about to begin, and Cao Mengde immediately stood up and shouted, "Ms. Boudica! We are Chaldea, who came here from the future! Instead of killing each other, why don't we sit down and talk about how to solve this singularity that may destroy humanity?"

However, Boudica responded: "You want me to sit down and talk! Then defeat us! Forward!"

Looking at Boudica's army charging over, Cao Mengde sighed helplessly, then said seriously: "Fight them! Make sure you don't kill them!"

These people may become their soldiers in the future, so they cannot be wasted here.

Chapter 154 The battle is stalemate

"Nero, you give the orders!" said Cao Mengde.

He could command Nero because he was now his servant, but he didn't want to command the Roman soldiers directly because they were Nero's soldiers and he had to let her command them.

The enemy troops had already rushed forward, and Nero did not hesitate. She showed her imperial spirit, raised her sword and swung it: "Roman soldiers! Dance magnificently, win victory and achievements for Rome, and obtain the honor of a brave man!"

"Ow!"

"charge!"

The morale of the Roman soldiers was greatly boosted. After all, they were still Roman soldiers with a high degree of faith and loyalty to Rome. Upon hearing the declaration of war by the Roman Emperor Nero, they rushed into the enemy camp with murderous intent and attacked the soldiers led by Boudica.

The two groups charged at each other, shouting and fighting.

Several servants also launched an attack, but their targets were not the human soldiers, but Boudica and Spartacus.

It is too much of a bully to let servants deal with human soldiers. Although human soldiers can kill servants in the same way as ants can kill elephants when there are enough of them, in most cases, human soldiers will be defeated one-sidedly when facing servants.

However, because of Cao Mengde's order, Tomoe Gozen and Jeanne d'Arc went directly to face the human soldiers, trying to make the enemy lose their combat capability instead of killing them directly.

With the abilities of Ba Yuhengqian and Zhende, it is not difficult to do this. Both of them have experience in facing the battlefield, so it is perfect for them to do this.

"Hey!"

Tomoe Gozen swept the enemy camp with her naginata, and several soldiers fell down immediately.

However, they were not killed by Tomoe Gozen, they were just knocked unconscious by the back of her knife and lost their ability to move.

Like some orphan fighting a clown.

It looks simple, but it actually requires a high level of strength. It is very difficult to knock someone unconscious and make him unable to move without hurting him.
