My XX deal with Sister Nero

Although he really wanted to express his emotion a few more times, Cefalu was almost in front of him. If he didn't react, he would probably follow in the footsteps of Caesar and Caligula.

"Get out of the way!" Tony roared with all his strength, then turned quickly and ran towards the direction of Kyria City.

"This kid...what does he want to do?" Looking at Tony who was rushing towards the city of Kyria, Rosa hurriedly put on the mask that the heroic spirit Tony had worn before, then adjusted the route and continued to run in the direction where Tony was.

"Huh? Why is a stupid guy running towards me?" Tony, who was being chased by Sefalu like a rabbit, suddenly saw a young man wearing a tunic with a weapon in each hand running towards him on the hillside not far away.

"Hey! It's dangerous here! Get out of here!" Tony said while running and waving his hands at the people rushing towards him.

It was obvious that he regarded the guy rushing towards him as a mercenary who wanted to make a name for himself. Although the Age of Gods had ended, there were still some relics of the Age of Gods in this era, such as the wyvern killed by Zero and the Tarasque that was influenced by Martha.

I guess this guy mistook Cefalu for something like that so he wanted to learn how to be a hero who defeats giants?

The last hero who defeated the giant was running for his life just like Tony, but they were running in different directions.

However, the guy who looked like a mercenary not only did not reply, but ran even faster.

No, this is not right!

Tony suddenly realized that if the other party really wanted to kill the giant to become famous, then he should go for the giant, but this guy was obviously coming for him. What did he mean? Kill me in the chaos?

When Tony thought of this possibility, he subconsciously reached for the dagger at his waist.

But then again, I didn't pay attention to it on the battlefield before, but now that I think about it... it seems that Jinpika was just slacking off the whole time?

Tony looked up at the Vimana floating in the sky and frowned. What does this golden pickup mean?

"How can this idiot be distracted while running?!" Seeing Tony's obviously slowed down pace, Rosa looked disappointed. He quickened his pace, roughly estimated the distance, shook the long sword in his left hand, and threw it in the direction of Tony's advance, shouting, "Go!"

"What the hell?!" Tony subconsciously slowed down his pace, fearing that if he ran too fast the sword would hit his head.

For some reason, when he saw the ancient-looking long sword in front of Tony, Sefalu suddenly stopped.

"You're quite a fast runner!" Rosa rushed to Tony, thrust the long knife in his hand into the ground, supported himself on his knees and took a few breaths before speaking to Rosa.

"You are..." Tony frowned subconsciously as he looked at the guy standing in front of him with a strange mask. For some reason, this guy gave him a very familiar feeling.

"Me? Rosa, Rosa Stysis." Rosa quickly glanced at Cefalu not far away and said, "I know you want to ask me a lot of questions, but now is not the time to ask questions. Take the sword in front of you. We have to deal with Cefalu first."

"What kind of sword is this?" Although Tony already had some guesses in his mind, he still asked subconsciously.

"The holy sword created by the force of restraint is specially used to deal with Sefalu." Rosa took out the sword he had just inserted into the ground and said.

Sure enough...the Star Sea Holy Sword!

Looking at this somewhat quaint western-style broadsword, Tony pulled it out and turned to look at Sefalu, asking, "What next? How do you use this curry stick? Let me make it clear first, I've never played with a curry stick!"

???

Hearing Tony's question, Rosa, who was waving his sword and preparing to rush forward with Tony to chop Sefalu twice, was stunned!

He doesn't know how to use this curry stick!

No, to be honest, there are only a few people who have played Curry Stick. In addition to the blue poster girls of various professions, there is also the old sword. But besides these two, who else is there? The holy sword user from twelve thousand years ago?

No, it’s obvious that in this world line, Tony is the Holy Sword User. As for twelve thousand years ago... who knows if there was a Holy Sword User at all!

"Forget it. I don't know the answer to this question. Just try to hold it in as if it were a big thing. Then maybe you will be able to get it out." Rosa thought for a moment and said.

"Don't disgust me by looking at this." Looking at Sefalu who was staring at the Star Sea Holy Sword in his hand with a wary look on his face, Tony tried his best to imitate the poster girl and raised the holy sword high above his head. At the same time, he imagined that all the strength in his body was gathered in his hands, and then entered the holy sword through his hands.

Then...he swung the holy sword in his hand violently!

It is undeniable that Tony accidentally hit the mark and actually created a special effect similar to that of the poster girl EX Curry Stick, but it is a pity that the power of the Star Sea Holy Sword that Tony wielded... was just enough to push Sefalu back a few steps.

"Gu..." After a sound of rolling in the throat, a trace of blood slowly flowed out from the corner of Sefalu's mouth.

"Internal injuries?" Seeing the blood on the corner of Cefalu's mouth, Rosa was immediately delighted: "Not bad, Holy Sword Master!"

Staring at Tony with a cold face, Sefalu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth in a very humane way, then slowly took two steps back.

Huh? She wants to escape?

However...if Sefalu really wanted to escape, everyone present would be helpless.

Several Heroic Spirits consumed a lot of magic power after opening their Noble Phantasms, so it would take some time for them to recover. Although the Golden Pika in the sky did not consume much magic power, for some reason, he has been watching the show. It is probably not realistic to ask him to take action at this moment.

In addition, Tamamonomae's power cannot be used easily. According to her own account, once she transforms into Amaterasu's Aragami, although she can effectively restrain Cefalu, it seems that it will also cost her life. And with only one little sun Karna left... it seems that she cannot kill Cefalu directly.

In addition, Tony has not yet fully learned how to use the Star Sea Holy Sword. The current situation is that it is possible to injure or even seriously injure Sefalu, but if he wants to completely kill this wandering star vanguard once and for all, it is really impossible.

Chapter 295: Cut? Not cut?

Rosa left, taking her toys with her.

In Rosa's own words, he had other things to deal with, so he left first.

After returning to Kyria City, Lius and others had roughly calculated the losses.

"Our side suffered more than four thousand casualties, and nearly half of the southern city wall was destroyed..." Tony sighed as he looked at the report that Leius handed to him.

Fortunately, Sefalu obviously did not use her full strength this time. If she really attacked the city of Kyria with all her strength today, then the more than 100,000 troops stationed in the city would have suffered at least tens of thousands of casualties, right?

But now... there are more troubles to come.

Cefalu is not dead, Gilgamesh has a great chance to form an alliance with Cefalu, Solomon has built the Temple of Time, and Rosa revealed to him a little before she left that the legendary ancient Greek scholar Archimedes seems to be trying to stir up trouble... There are also large and small barbarians on the border of the empire. Tony suddenly realized that he has a lot of things to deal with.

"Now, let's talk about the affairs of Egypt." In the governor's residence of Kyria City, Ramses II sat at the conference table and looked at Tony and said.

damn it!

Tony scratched his head. Why did trouble arise right at the start?

In order to win over the Egyptian rebels, Caesar had previously proposed that Egypt could be divided into different regions, that is, the rebels would rule Upper Egypt, the Roman Empire would rule Lower Egypt, and the Roman Empire would also recognize the emerging country's right to rule Upper Egypt.

But this was just a means of winning over. Neither Caesar nor Tony thought about taking this secret agreement seriously.

After all, according to Tony's plan, after using the righteousness of mankind and promises to win over the Egyptian rebels, these rebel soldiers will have to go to the front line as cannon fodder. As for the four pharaohs... Nitocris is not very willing to revive Egypt, Cleopatra VII just wants to avenge Caesar and herself, and what about Iskandar? Although he also has the title of Egyptian Pharaoh, this title of Pharaoh is just a title given to him by the Egyptian people, not really indicating that he is the Egyptian Pharaoh.

It's like Nero had the title of Egyptian Pharaoh on his head for his own amusement.

And Ramses II... might be the only one among the four pharaohs who truly wanted to revive Egypt, so Tony's idea at the beginning was to consume the Lindenwans in Egypt first, and then find a way to consume Ramses II in the final battle with Sefalu.

Ran goose ...

Cefalu did not attack with all his strength. It could even be said that Cefalu held back and merely destroyed the southern wall of the city of Caerea, killed no more than 4,000 soldiers, crushed Caligula and Caesar, and temporarily destroyed Cleopatra VII's treasure.

How many of these more than 4,000 soldiers are Egyptian rebels?

Not much really!

After all, no matter from which angle you look at it, it is impossible for Tony to concentrate all the rebels on the south city wall. If this were the case, even a fool could see what Tony was planning.

So this time, the Egyptian rebels only lost a few hundred people, and the four pharaohs, especially Ramses II, were still alive and well, so Tony is now facing a very serious problem.

What should the province of Egypt do?

If it were any other province, people would just bear with it and give it up, but the province of Egypt was different. It had always been the back garden of the Roman emperor and a major grain-producing province of the Roman Empire. This land could not be given up no matter what!

But if they don't cut off... a few thousand rebel soldiers are nothing. Anyway, these Linden people are few in number, poorly equipped and have low combat effectiveness. Two legions can deal with them. But La Er is different. No matter what, La Er is a heroic spirit who can defeat a thousand enemies alone. If the Dark Night Sun Ship is fully fired, it is enough to burn down a small city, not to mention the grave collision which is much more powerful than the Dark Night Sun Ship.

If you really piss off Rasmussen and let him run to Rome to have a grave-crashing match, it might not destroy the entire city of Rome, but it would probably destroy most of it.

"According to the negotiations between His Excellency Caesar and the Egyptians, the entire Upper Egypt region will be ceded to your ministry and the existence of the Kingdom of Egypt will be recognized, right?"

After organizing his words a little, Tony glanced at the three pharaohs sitting in front of him and said.

Logically, Nero should have been the one to conduct negotiations like this, but his Majesty Nero was not interested in this, so he naturally threw the matter to Tony, with the euphemism that "this is a matter for the front line, and you are the commander of the front line and have the power to conclude any peace treaty."

As for why there are three pharaohs instead of four in front of Tony, it is very simple. The absent Cleopatra VII is crying in a tent. After all, her husband has died again.

"Yes, this is pretty much what Caesar discussed with us." Ramses II nodded and said.

Tsk! What a hassle!

Tony stretched out his fingers and tapped the table lightly, his mind starting to work at high speed.

What would be the consequences of ceding half of the province of Egypt?

Caesar used half of the Egyptian province to win over the rebels in Upper Egypt, but both he and Tony had the idea from the beginning to get something for nothing. They just wanted to consume these Lindenwans and be done with it. If they were all dead, who would come to them for land?

However, the Upper Egyptian rebels did not suffer much loss in this war, which meant Tony now had to face a problem: to cede or not?

The province of Egypt was the private territory of the Roman emperor, so let's not talk about justice for now. At least from a personal standpoint, the senators in the Senate would like to see the Upper Egyptian rebels grow stronger. After all, the stronger they are, the weaker the Roman emperor's power will be. On the other hand, they can also use the name of justice to criticize Nero, because in name, this is a compromise between the emperor and the rebels.

You know, although the Senate knew about the existence of Cefalus, the people did not know it at the moment. Even if the people later knew about the existence of Cefalus, what they knew was a "Cefalus who was defeated by the Roman army", not a "Cefalus who could destroy the world".

Is it worth it for the empire to spend half a province to win over a rebel army of only a few thousand people when Cephalus could be repelled by the Roman army?

not worth it.

The people did not understand what heroic spirits were. In their view, those pharaohs who should have died were now only undead spirits, so they did not understand how powerful heroic spirits were or how powerful their treasures were.

At this moment, in the entire world, the only people who know how powerful the Heroic Spirits are, apart from the Heroic Spirits themselves, are probably Tony and the other guys who have been blessed by the Heroic Spirits, and Rosa, right?

Chapter 296: Doesn’t a sister exist to protect her brother from the wind and rain?

The people did not know that Tony's fundamental purpose in winning over the Upper Egyptian rebels was to win over the four Egyptian pharaohs. Even the Senate did not know this. After all, winning over the Upper Egyptian rebels on the condition of ceding half of the Egyptian province... For the Senate, this was undoubtedly a great humiliation for the Roman Empire.

You can be nailed to the pillar of shame!

So Tony's plan from the beginning was not to tell these things to the elders. When the war was over and most of the Lindenwans were dead, this matter could be put aside.

however……

Tony looked at Ramses II with a guilty conscience, frowned, and after a long while he managed to utter these words: "This matter is of great importance. I cannot decide it alone. I need to inform the Senate of this matter. After all... at least we have to confirm where the new border is, right?"

"Hmm?" Ramses II frowned at Tony and said, "You mean... you didn't intend to fulfill your promise at the beginning, right?"

???

How did you pronounce this sentence?!

Tony looked at Ramses II in surprise. How... did he know this?

Seeing Tony's shocked expression, Ramses II said with a mocking look, "According to my understanding of your Roman Empire, your Senate is not only a political advisory body for the Emperor, but also an institution with certain real power, right? Many senators hold important positions. In other words, if the Senate was not aware of Caesar's previous proposal, it means that you had no intention of letting your imperial government implement this proposal. You negotiate with us with a proposal that you don't intend to implement. Doesn't this mean that you didn't intend to fulfill your promise from the beginning? Ah, or in other words, your original idea was to take the opportunity to destroy us in this battle?"

It is undeniable that although Ramses II was terrible at commanding battles, when it comes to political struggles... can we only say that he really deserves to be the former Pharaoh of Egypt?

How to do?

Tony stared at his fingers tapping on the table, his brain continuing to work at high speed.

However, at this moment, Nero, who was sitting next to Tony, suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty Ramses II, perhaps you understand the Senate, but there is one thing you may not understand. The province of Egypt is the emperor's province and is the emperor's private property."

"elder sister……"

Turning his head to look at his sister, Tony was suddenly shocked. What... was Nero going to do? !

"So?" Ramses II raised his eyebrows and looked at the Roman emperor.

"If the emperor wants to handle his finances, he only needs to inform the Senate without their consent. Since His Excellency Caesar, the Phantom Emperor, has promised to allocate half of the Egyptian province to you, I will naturally abide by His Excellency Caesar's promise."

"Royal sister!" Hearing this, Tony subconsciously stood up and looked at Nero who was sitting next to him with a calm expression.

This... this is clearly an attempt to take the blame for myself!

Although the province of Egypt was indeed the emperor's province and belonged to His Majesty the Emperor's personal property, and the Senate had no right to interfere, the problem was that since Caesar became dictator, no emperor from the Claudius or Augustus family had ever ceded half of the province!

If Nero really ceded half of the Egyptian province, it would be a stain that she would never be able to erase in her life!

"Okay, I will write a letter to the governor of Egypt later. I will send someone to Egypt to discuss the details with you later."

"Well, thank you, His Majesty the Emperor of Rome!" Ramses II said to Nero with a very cultured smile.

After the Egyptian pharaohs and their followers left, Vespasian stood up, looked at Nero with a complicated expression, and said, "Your Majesty, actually... Actually, Your Majesty does not need to cede land at all. We still have more than 100,000 troops. At worst, we can get a reputation of being unjust and kill these pharaohs! Although they are very strong, I think our Roman legions are not weak either!"

"But Cefalu is not dead. We still need them to join forces with us to fight against Cefalu." Nero shook his head. "And if we really want to fight to the death, as long as we don't leave their lives here, the consequences... may be very serious."

"But sister!" Tony looked at Nero anxiously and said, "But if this happens, you will be nailed to the pillar of shame! Since Augustus established the Julio-Claudian dynasty, no emperor has ceded land, let alone rebels or even foreign wars!"

"So?" Nero looked at Tony calmly, stretched out his hand and gently pulled his wrist to sit down: "We need to establish a good relationship with these pharaohs so that we can have enough heroes to resist Cefalu, right?"

"But sister, this shouldn't be done by you! It was my idea to use the territory to win over Ramses II, so I should be the one nailed to the pillar of shame in history, not you, sister!" Tony slapped the table in annoyance. How could this happen? He clearly wanted to change history and wanted his sister to leave behind a name of a wise king...

"But, in the eyes of the Senate, my sister is already a tyrant. Even if she doesn't do this, she will still not have a good reputation in the future, right?" Nero sighed, gently rubbed Tony's head, and said to Tony seriously: "Brother, do you know what your reputation is in Rome now?"

Tony shook his head in confusion. Although he often went out to hang out when he was in Rome, his purpose of going out was basically to find some new gadgets to play with, or to eat some new snacks that he had never eaten before.

"Several of the latest plays released in Rome are about you." Nero smiled and said, "Dragon slayer, protector of Britain, conqueror of Parthia and Armenia, do you know what this means?"
