My XX deal with Sister Nero

Eastern Legion? Hearing this name, the mercenaries were even more shocked. Wasn't this the legion formed a year ago to fight against the Parthian Empire? Even if there were some casualties during the war with the Parthian Empire, there should still be more than 100,000 troops left, right?

More than 100,000 people, defending one or several small tribes? I'm afraid that all these tribes can only muster a thousand soldiers? Is it that serious?

"I guess the invaders they are talking about are not those small tribes." One of the older mercenaries said after taking a sip of the wine in the sheepskin bag.

"Nonsense, I know that too." Another young mercenary counterattacked bluntly, "Even these small tribes in the desert are no match for the Roman border militia. Now the Roman Empire has sent out elite troops who have just retreated from the front line. It is obvious that their opponents are very strong, strong enough to deserve the attention of the Roman Empire. So, brother, what else do you know? Tell us the bottom line so that we can be mentally prepared."

"I really don't know what it is." The officer glanced at one of his subordinates standing guard on a sand dune not far away and said, "This time I only brought two of my subordinates with you. What the higher-ups mean is that we can recognize this invader at a glance."

An invader that can be seen at a glance?

What the hell? Everyone present looked at each other in bewilderment.

However, at this moment, an old mercenary suddenly frowned and raised his right hand: "Wait a moment, everyone, be quiet for a moment."

"What's wrong?" Looking at the soldier's serious expression, the officer asked while motioning everyone to be quiet and looking at him seriously.

The old mercenary did not speak. He just lay on the ground on his side with his ear pressed against the ground, as if he was listening to something.

"It seems like something is coming. The footsteps are very slow. There should be only one person, and... it sounds like a big one." The old mercenary whispered while listening quietly.

Almost at this moment, the Roman soldier standing on the sand dune not far away suddenly pointed ahead and shouted: "Captain, ahead... a huge white giant appeared ahead!"

White giant? Hearing this word, the captain subconsciously stood up and drew the dagger at his waist. He quickly climbed up the sand dune where the soldier was and looked in the direction he pointed. In the distance, he saw a huge white figure walking slowly towards him.

A white giant? Could this be the so-called invader?

Damn it, the people above didn’t say that this is our enemy!

"This... Is this the opponent we are going to face?" The mercenaries swallowed subconsciously and couldn't help but tremble all over.

This kind of giant...is it something that humans can match?

"Archers! Where are the archers?" The team leader turned his head and looked at the mercenaries behind him and shouted.

"Ah? Sir, are you sure?" A mercenary holding a bow stepped forward, looked at the white giant about ten meters tall in the distance, then looked at the bow and arrow in his hand, shook his head and said, "Sir, I think the bow and arrow should have no effect on her."

"Just try it and you'll know," said the team leader, frowning.

"Well... I'll try." The mercenary swallowed, waited until the white giant came into his shooting range, quickly drew his bow and arrow, and then drew the bow like a full moon!

With a "swoosh" sound, the arrow broke through the air, and then... bounced off the skin of the white giant on its back.

"... Let's retreat." After a half-second of silence, the team leader said somewhat frustratedly.

"Yes!" The mercenaries present nodded, mounted their camels and began to retreat.

PS1: Thanks to "夏丶枫" for the tip of a blade ~ Thank you ~

PS2: My birthday is coming, so...will I update more chapters on my birthday to celebrate? _(:з」∠)_

Chapter 286: It would be great if I could recover as the giant god Attila

Leaving the oasis in the middle of the night and moving in the desert is a very dangerous thing for people. Firstly, there are many creatures in the desert that are extremely hostile to humans. Secondly, the temperature in the desert at night is... very low.

After riding camels for several kilometers, these twenty or so mercenaries could no longer bear the cold wind. The Romans were still okay, as their helmets could simply shield their faces from the wind or something, but most of these mercenaries did not have helmets, and even if they did... they could not shield their little faces from the wind.

"Hey! I say, is this the monster that you Romans are facing?" The mercenary captain caught up with the Roman captain on a camel and asked after taking two breaths.

"How the hell should I know?!" The team leader was also confused. After all, when he was filmed bringing his mercenaries to this oasis, it didn't say what the enemy they would face was. It just simply and generally said that he could spot the invader at a glance.

In a sense, the person above was right, and I could tell it at a glance... But the question is, is this thing something that human power can resist? The arrow would just bounce off when it was shot, right?!

Tell me how to hit this thing? Hit it with the head?

I will lead the charge???

No wonder the superiors didn’t make it clear when assigning the task. If they had made it clear, who would dare to do this?

Seeing that the captain of the Roman legion also had a look of wanting to cry but having no tears, the mercenary captain probably thought that he had been cheated by his superiors. If he knew that he would have to deal with such a giant, he would either choose not to come, or would try his best to prepare for defense, right?

"Damn it, this guy's steps are too big, he will catch up with us soon!" The captain turned his head to look at Sefalu who was getting closer and closer to him, gritted his teeth and said, "No, we have to run separately!"

Originally, the captain wanted to leave a few people behind to cover the retreat, but then he changed his mind and realized that in order to deal with this giant, the empire dispatched more than 100,000 elite troops, which meant that this giant was definitely not something that could be dealt with by just twenty people. If these twenty people could kill the opponent... then why did His Royal Highness organize so many troops?

So when the words were on the tip of his tongue, the team leader suddenly changed his mind and decided to run separately.

"Then where do we meet?" the mercenary captain asked, looking at the captain of the Roman legion.

"There is a city called Caria in the south of Africa. When you get there, go to the south of the city. There is a military camp. When you get to the gate of the military camp, tell them that you need to see His Royal Highness the Prince for the battle report from the front line."

Your Highness?

Hearing this title, the mercenaries around the team leader were shocked.

Who would have thought that this battle was commanded personally by the legendary Prince of the Roman Empire?

"I understand." The mercenary captain nodded, and after giving a few instructions to his subordinates, the group split into three groups and dispersed.

The irrational white giant was unable to react to the small army divided into three groups, but soon she chose one of the teams and started to chase after them.

About a day later, the team led by the squad leader finally returned to the military camp south of the city of Keria.

"You said you saw the white giant?" Tony asked, staring at the captain kneeling in front of him.

"Yes, Your Highness." The captain nodded with a look of fear on his face. The white giant was led away by the mercenary captain. He didn't know if he could survive if he was lucky enough.

"Go mark the place where you and the white giant finally parted ways on the map." Tony pulled a map from the table next to him and said to the captain.

"Yes, Your Highness." The captain picked up a pen and looked at the map, and finally marked the place where he last saw Sefalu.

"Are you sure this is it?" Tony asked after looking at the mark on the map.

"I'm sure." The team leader nodded.

Looking at the marked points on the map, Tony tapped the table lightly. If this guy's marking was correct, then Safalu should have fallen into his trap at this moment.

Unfortunately, these traps... do not pose any threat to Sefalu.

"Is Sefalu... here?" In a tent next to the central military tent, Gilgamesh gently swirled the wine in his glass, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Just like a signal, from that day on, Tony would receive reports from scouts and outposts ahead almost every day.

"At the most, it is expected that by tomorrow afternoon, Saifalu will appear within the field of vision of our army camp." In the central military tent, Weipaxuan said, pointing to the mark on the map.

"So, your highness, your majesty, and the two of you...how do we fight? Is it a field battle? Or a battle to defend the city?"

"...How is the evacuation of residents in Kyria City going?" Tony looked at Lius and asked in a deep voice.

"Your Highness, the evacuation has been almost completed." Lius replied.

"Then let's defend the city!" Tony said, pounding the table with his right fist.

The giant is not an army, so dealing with it is very simple. In one word: grinding.

She has no rationality and can only rely on instinct to destroy, so correspondingly, she has no so-called tactics.

Since you don't have any tactics, then of course you have to put on the hardest armor and take the sharpest knife to kill her!

No matter what, my city wall is stronger than armor, right?

Of course, although it is called defending the city, necessary proactive attacks are still necessary. The tactics formulated by Tony are very simple. Ordinary soldiers and large-scale anti-military or anti-city equipment will first carry out long-range attacks and harassment, and then... naturally, several heroic spirits and several people with combat power comparable to that of heroic spirits will attack together.

Karna the Little Sun, Ramses II the Sun King, and Tamamonomae, the wild spirit of Amaterasu who symbolizes the sun, these heroic spirits will form the main force against Sefalu.

"Organize the local residents to evacuate?" Rosa, who was carrying a large-caliber sniper rifle, stood on the side of the road, glanced at the crowd walking towards the north, and said to himself.

The Cefalu on Earth is just an entity. According to the setting, the original giant god Attila should be on the moon now. However, according to the information from the restraining force, this Cefalu on Earth this time seems to be the original body, but for some unknown reason, she has become like this. If this is true, then we must not kill Cefalu. It would be best if we could restore her to the appearance of the giant god Attila, and then...Awei, do you know about the mass grave?

Chapter 287: Sefalu’s ability!

Under Tony's arrangement, the more than 100,000 troops withdrew into the city of Kyria in batches and in an orderly manner. At the same time, they also strengthened the city defense as much as possible and prepared long-range attack weapons such as stone bombs.

"Brother..." As Tony continued to inspect the city defense and troop training in the city, Nero suddenly realized that his younger brother seemed to have grown up a lot. At least, now he was only thirteen years old, and he really looked like a commander.

"How is the crossbow preparation going?" On the south city wall, Tony grabbed a young man wearing general's armor and asked him.

"Ah... Your Highness!" The general was stunned for a moment, and after a hurried salute, he said, "We have already deployed the crossbows on the arrow tower. In addition, we will move some crossbows to be deployed in this corridor later."

"Very good." Tony nodded. According to the report from the team leader, bows and arrows would not have any effect on Sefalu. To Sefalu, these things were actually equivalent to a toothpick. No, maybe even worse than a toothpick.

At least if you poke someone with a toothpick, they will feel pain, but Zasaifalu didn't react at all.

Since the bow and arrow are useless, we can only change to a bigger one.

In addition to the crossbow, Tony also specially cleared a piece of open space in the southern part of the city and placed a catapult. As long as Sefalu entered the range, Tony planned to learn from the US military and launch a round of saturation bombing first.

"My younger brother has grown up..." Nero suddenly reached out and touched Tony's head, feeling a little emotional.

???

what the hell!

In the midst of this busyness, on the afternoon of the second day, on the southern wall of Kyria City, a sharp-eyed soldier finally saw a white figure not far away.

"Enemy attack!!!"

Along with the soldier's shout, the alarm bells on the city wall suddenly rang, and countless soldiers rushed to the city wall, some drew their bows and arrows, and some operated crossbows to aim at Safalu, waiting for the latest instructions from their superiors.

"Are we finally here?" Tony walked up the stairs to the top of the city wall, took out the telescope he had prepared long ago and looked into the distance.

Sure enough, at the end of the earth, a huge white figure was walking slowly towards Keria.

"Get ready to fight!" Tony shouted as he put the belt on himself.

"Prepare to fight the enemy!" Messengers and officers of all ranks conveyed orders one after another. For a moment, a murderous atmosphere permeated the entire city wall.

"You're finally here." Beside Tony, Iskandar drew out the dagger hanging at his waist and said as he looked at Sefalu who was walking slowly not far away.

"After entering the range, the catapults will prepare for the first wave of attacks, then reload, and then the crossbows and artillery will launch the second round of attacks!" Looking at Sefalutoni who was slowly approaching, he slowly gave the order.

"Fire!" After confirming that the other party was within the shooting range, with Tony's order, the catapult in the city quickly threw the stones into the sky, throwing them towards Safalu.

"Damn it! Can't you aim a little?" Seeing that almost every one of these stone bullets hit Sefalu, Tony turned his head in frustration and shouted at the soldiers responsible for firing the stone bullets.

In fact, this cannot be blamed on these soldiers. The catapult is a very random long-range attack weapon, and few people use it to carry out precision strikes. In addition, the soldiers responsible for launching the catapults cannot see where the enemy is through the city wall, and they have to rely on the soldiers on the city wall for command. As a result, the already low hit rate is further discounted. How can these stone bullets pose a threat to Sefalu?

"Tsk!" Tony took a deep breath and shouted as he watched Sefalu crush several barricades not far away. "Pass my order! Aim the crossbows! Numidian light cavalry, attack!"

"Squeak~" accompanied by an indescribable harsh sound, the south gate was opened, and a Numidian light cavalry of more than a thousand people rushed out of Ceria and rushed towards Cefalu.

Outflanking and detouring, the Numidian light cavalry used skilled techniques to split into two groups and surrounded Cefalu on the left and right. Then, these cavalrymen took out the javelins behind them and pointed the tips of the spears directly at Cefalu!

However, what they didn't expect was that just when they were about to throw the javelins in their hands, Cefalu's eyes suddenly flickered as if they were glowing. Then, Tony saw that the Numidians and their horses around Cefalu began to gradually swell and become ferocious, like orcs using a frenzy skill!

"Damn it!" Tony's face suddenly changed as he looked at the road ahead!

Possessing skills, familiar made, level, EX!

Familiar making is a skill that belongs to the caster, but Cefalu, the wandering vanguard... or the giant god Attila also possesses this skill. Twelve thousand years ago, the giant god Attila used this skill to create the white giant Cefalu who invaded the earth. At the same time, he also used this skill to create a large number of "soldiers" that could be commanded by Cefalu. The raw materials of these "soldiers" were the earth creatures that Cefalu had devoured or were around at that time!

"Damn, I forgot about this." Looking at the more than a thousand Numidian light cavalry controlled by Cefalu, Tony slapped his forehead and muttered with a frown.

In other words, other than Heroic Spirits, ordinary humans should not engage in close combat with Sefalu...

"Calibrate the catapult!" Tony took a deep breath, patted his cheeks lightly, and shouted orders to the catapults in the city without turning his head.

Although Sefalu is huge, her size is not that big compared to an army, so it is understandable that random weapons such as catapults cannot hit her.

But now, Sefalu has an army of a thousand people under his command. The probability of your catapult hitting them should increase a lot, right?

"Ballista! Cannon! Trebuchet! Saturation bombing!"

"Boom, boom, boom!" The stone bullets from the catapult, the iron projectiles from the artillery, and the spear-like arrows from the crossbow shot out almost at the same time, smashing down on Sefalu and the army around her!

It will work this time!

However, just when Tony thought that this saturation bombing should be able to cause a certain degree of damage to Sefalu or her army, unexpectedly Sefalu suddenly stopped, raised her head slightly, and then opened her little mouth, accompanied by a sharp "ah~" sound, an almost visible ripple emerged from the air and spread in all directions!

"Be careful!" Tony shouted subconsciously when he saw the light wave coming towards the city wall. Then, he quickly reached out and grabbed the arrow slit on the city wall, intending to withstand this wave of impact!

Chapter 288: Do your best!

The golden light wave hit the city wall hard, and there was a loud "boom" sound. Accompanied by a strong shaking, the city wall on the left side of the city gate collapsed in an instant, leaving a gap about five miles wide, and countless cracks appeared on the city wall on this side of the city gate.

"Damn it!" Tony's face changed. It was just one blow. With such power...how many times can the entire city of Kyriah withstand it?

"Quick! Send the wounded to the rear, and have the rest of the troops come up quickly. Also, order the soldiers on the north wall to leave the city immediately and ambush on the hill west of the south gate. Be ready to serve them with bows and arrows at any time!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" A messenger beside Tony responded and then stepped back to convey the order.
