My XX deal with Sister Nero

As a nomadic people, the Parthians did not have many ships, let alone naval battles. Otherwise, they would not have been raided by Tony into the Babylonia region. After this battle, the Parthians realized this, so after the war, Vologases I began to order the construction of warships and ordered each tribe to draw personnel to form a proper navy.

But what was unexpected was that when the navy raised by these tribes just got on the ship, they started vomiting like crazy. Not to mention fighting, these guys vomited so much that it was even difficult for them to stand up.

After much inquiry, Vologases I learned from some merchants that this was called seasickness, and that it would occur to people who did not often travel on the sea.

As for how to solve it...it's very simple, just practice more and adapt to the environment on the ship.

This is easier said than done. They have already adapted to the situation for quite some time, but... these soldiers still started vomiting not long after getting on board.

What should I do? I can't postpone my battle plan because of this matter, right?

"...Let him in." After thinking for a while, Vologases I nodded to the servant.

Soon, under the guidance of the attendant, a young man dressed in typical Parthian attire came before Vologases I, knelt on one knee and said, "I greet your Majesty, the great King of Kings."

"Get up." Vologases I looked expressionlessly at the young man kneeling in front of him, and said after a few seconds of silence.

"I heard that you have a way to help my soldiers overcome seasickness in a very short time?" Vologases I asked the young man who lowered his head and looked timid.

"Yes, Your Majesty..." The young man opened his mouth, and suddenly turned his head subconsciously to look at the people around him, and whispered: "But... Your Majesty, I can only tell you about this matter."

"Just say it." After glancing at the palace guards around him, Vologases I waved his hand at the young man, signaling him to continue.

"Well... okay." Glancing at the guards around him with some concern, the young man whispered, "I think the reason why everyone vomits is because they are not used to the turbulence on the sea. There are two ways to solve this problem. The first is to build a warship that is large and wide enough so that everyone will feel that they are not on a ship, but on a continent. In this way, everyone will not get seasick."

"Big enough? That's impossible." As soon as the young man finished speaking, Vologases I waved his hand.

Build a warship big enough? Don't be ridiculous. The Parthian Empire... doesn't have the ability to do that.

"If this is not possible, then... we can only take the second approach, which is to connect all the warships with chains. This way, we can reduce the shaking of the warships as much as possible, giving people a feeling of walking on land. This way, we can reduce everyone's seasickness symptoms as much as possible."

"...makes sense." Vologases I touched his chin. He had heard from merchants on the sea before that seasickness was indeed caused by the excessive shaking of the ship and people's lack of adaptation to it. So according to this guy's suggestion...it seemed feasible in theory?

Yes, in theory, the linked warships can effectively curb the problem of soldiers' poor water skills, but...

Anyone who has read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms knows that Boss Cao’s linked warships were burned to ashes by Huang Gai.

And Tony just bullied them because they had not read Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

"I understand. You can leave first." After thinking for two seconds, Vologases I waved to the young man.

"This... Your Majesty, I..." Seeing that Vologases I did not show any expression, the young man looked up at Vologases I sitting on the throne anxiously and opened his mouth.

"What's the hurry?" Vologases I raised his eyebrows. "Of course I have to see if this kind of thing is useful first. If it is useful, I will definitely benefit from it!"

"This... I understand." The young man nodded and then stepped back.

After walking out of the palace and taking a deep breath, the young man turned his back to the palace gate with an elusive smile on his lips.

If everything goes well, with your Highness's strategy, you should be able to wipe out these 30,000 troops, right?

But by that time, I should have returned to the Roman Empire.

Vologases I was a cautious man, so when he learned the news from the young man, his first reaction was to send a message to the front line. First, a group of warships were connected with iron chains according to the young man's instructions, and then he asked his naval soldiers to go up and experience it. After confirming that it did have a certain effect, he summoned the young man to the palace again, gave him a sum of money, and a leisurely official position.

"It seems that the plan is going well."

On the other side, in the emperor's study, Nero muttered to himself as he read the report from his spies.

His brother's plan went smoothly. In order to solve the problem that the Parthian soldiers were not good at swimming, Vologases I ordered the warships to be connected with iron chains, intending to go out to sea in this way to attack the Sassanid Empire.

At this moment, not to mention Tony, even Nero could see that Vologases I was really stupid... He actually did this!

Of course, this is not actually the fault of Vologases I. On the one hand, as a nomadic people, the Parthian Empire had no experience in naval warfare and knew nothing about shipbuilding and naval warfare. On the other hand, due to the rebellion in the east secretly planned by the Kushan Empire and the constant trouble-making of the Sassanid Persia in the south, the Parthian Empire had to actively show its fists while suppressing the rebels and show its fangs to other restless forces in the country to make them give up the idea of ​​rebellion. It was precisely because of this that the Parthian Empire had almost no time to wait for the navy to take shape. What Vologases I wanted was to make this naval force as combat-capable as possible to go to sea, no matter what means were used.

Chapter 412: Invitation from Rosa

"Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?" In the study of a villa outside Rome, Tony waved away several maids standing nearby, and asked after personally filling a glass of grape juice for Rosa and the young man next to him.

"Of course I have something to do." Rosa laughed, glanced at Xiao Changtian who was sitting next to him with a nonchalant look, and said, "Let me introduce you first, Tom. He is my partner and also your partner."

"Tom? I'm still Jerry!" Xiao Changtian raised his eyebrows and looked at Rosa with some dissatisfaction, saying, "Here, I don't use a pseudonym like you. We are all family. Is there any point in using a pseudonym?"

As he spoke, Xiao Changtian smiled at Tony and introduced himself: "My name is Xiao Changtian. Well, I don't have a job at the moment. If I must say... I'm a serial killer? At least, that was my identity before I met this bastard."

Serial killer? Tony subconsciously glanced at the young man. He looked gentle and refined, but with a beastly look on his face. He didn't look like a serial killer at all.

"Don't look at me like that. The word 'killer' is not written on my face." Xiao Changtian waved his hand casually and said, "It's not me who came to see you this time. It's the person next to me, so just pretend I don't exist."

"Oh..." Tony nodded thoughtfully, then turned his attention to Rosa beside him and said, "What do you want from me?"

"It's nothing serious, I just want to exchange some information with you." Rosa smiled and said, "There are Attila Jinpika and the Master in the city, you should know about this, right?"

"Yeah." Tony nodded. He knew this, and he knew more than Rosa, for example... Scathach and Katniss are no longer in Rome.

The remaining two heroes, Gympika and Attila, have not shown any abnormal behavior so far, and there are even signs that they are leaving Rome, so overall, Rome is still relatively safe.

"Safe?" Rosa sneered and asked, "How do you know it's safe here?"

"Huh? Do you know something?" Tony was stunned for a moment after hearing the hidden meaning in Rosa's words, and asked with some confusion.

"You should know about Jerusalem, right? I'm talking about the two tombs." Rosa asked, gently shaking the glass of grape juice.

"Yeah, I know. What happened to King David and King Solomon?" Tony was a little puzzled. He knew about Solomon's affairs. The former king of the Kingdom of Israel disappeared mysteriously after his resurrection. Now that he thought about it, he should have built the Temple of Time and planned to incinerate humanity again, right?

"That's good to know, so I don't have to give you any unnecessary explanations. Well, there is Barbatos in your city of Rome." Rosa smiled, leaned back slowly, and said while leaning on the back of the chair.

"What? Barbatos? The Demon Pillar Barbatos?" Tony was stunned at first, then he stood up subconsciously, his face full of shock.

In his previous life, Tony had participated in the crusade against the Demon Pillars. He certainly knew how powerful these Demon Pillars were. How could such a thing actually appear in Rome? !

"Solomon must have developed an interest in this world, so he sent more than one Demon Pillar." Rosa shrugged and said, "There is one more thing. According to the monitoring of the institute, there is another group of travelers who came to this world besides us. Judging from the coordinates, they are most likely a group of killer hunters, that is... visitors from the Russian Lostbelt."

"Humanity Burning plus the Strange Bringers, and the Wandering Soldiers... Rosa, you just said you are a visitor from another world, right? You have mastered the ability to travel through the world, right? Take me and Nero with you, okay?" Tony cried, how can this be done? In addition to these countries that were enemies of the Roman Empire in history, now there are also the Wandering Soldiers, Solomon and the Strange Bringers that are unique to the FATE worldview... What the hell is this? !

The only resident Heroic Spirits in the Roman Empire are Romulus and Nero who has been blessed by the Heroic Spirit! Add myself, but there are only three Heroic Spirits. How to play?

If we use the estimation in FGO, three Heroic Spirits would have a hard time dealing with one Demon Pillar, not to mention that there are seventy-two Demon Pillars in total!

"Why are you running? Are the Demon Pillars very strong?" Rosa smiled and scratched his head, saying, "Orias, one of the Demon Pillars, has been killed by me. Although this guy almost forced me to use my full strength, but... the Demon Pillar is nothing special."

"??? Wait a minute!" Tony touched his forehead with a headache. After two seconds of silence, he asked uncertainly, "What did you just say? A demon pillar? It almost forced you to use your full strength? In other words, you didn't even use your full strength, and then you defeated a pillar?"

"If you understand it this way... it's correct." Rosa shrugged. "But you have to know that I have my own things to do. I can't spend every day here. There are 72 Demon Pillars, three wandering scouts, and various visitors from the Strange Stories. I can't help you deal with them all, so... you can only rely on yourself."

"...Okay." Honestly speaking, Tony didn't have high hopes that Rosa could help him. After all, Rosa... couldn't be counted as one of his own combat forces, and he hadn't figured out Rosa's background. He couldn't trust Rosa very much.

As analyzed above, Rosa ten years later had a very good relationship with himself, so good that Rosa ten years later even turned this world into a lossbelt ten years after his death in order to resurrect himself.

But... why did he and he have such a relationship ten years later? Tony couldn't figure this out no matter how hard he tried. From the conversation with Rosa, he could be sure that he and Tony were not in the same world in their previous lives, so... logically speaking, two people from different worlds should not know each other, and Rosa was obviously very targeted. Even if there was no him ten years later, Rosa of this era was targeting him, Tony.

Maybe the logical relationship is a bit confusing, but anyway, who is Rosa?

Unable to figure out his identity, Tony thought that he could cooperate with this person, but he could never regard him as his savior!

"Okay, I have almost finished sharing all the information I need to share with you. In fact, I came to this world this time not just to share information with you. Tony, Tony Claudius Augustus Germanicus, I, Rosa Stysis, would like to invite you to join my organization."

PS: Thanks to "Yanhua Yiyu" for the three blades ~ Thank you~~~

Chapter 413: Are you there? Let's practice

"Organization? What organization?" Tony was stunned at first, then asked with interest.

"Uh... We're still thinking of a new name for this organization. They said the name I chose before was too childish..." Rosa scratched his head awkwardly and replied, "Our organization is temporarily divided into two categories. One category is direct subordinates like me and Xiao Changtian. This category is the core, and the other category is the various forces under our core personnel, including the countries under my command and some other forces. So in terms of scale... it's still quite large. What do you think?"

"Not interested." Tony shook his head. He had no interest in the organization that Rosa mentioned.

"Really? All right then." After drinking the grape juice in the glass, Rosa stood up and stretched, then gently patted Xiao Changtian on the shoulder and said, "Let's go."

"Huh? Just leaving like that?" Xiao Changtian stood up in surprise, his eyes constantly wandering between Rosa and Tony: "Rosa, didn't you say you had to recruit this Tony? Just like me back then, why did you give up when he rejected you? This is not your style."

"My style? What is my style?" He glanced at the confused Tony and said, "Old Xiao, since Tony is unwilling to join, I will not force him. Anyway, he will join sooner or later, at least after knowing the secret."

"Secret? What secret?" Hearing the word secret, Tony looked at Rosa curiously and asked.

"As for this secret... Actually, you have guessed it a little bit, but I can't tell you right now." Rosa smiled and shook his head, saying, "Okay, I have given you the information I should give you. You... take care of yourself for now. I am leaving!"

Can you guess at least a little?

Tony didn't think of anything at first, but Rosa's words gave him some inspiration.

Because Tony was assassinated in the future, Rosa artificially modified this world into a lossbelt. Combined with Rosa's recruitment today, it is not difficult for Tony to judge that in the future, he should have accepted Rosa's recruitment and became a member of that mysterious organization. It is precisely because of this that after his death, Rosa will work hard to resurrect him.

But why would my future self join Rosa's organization?

Tony developed a more cautious character when he was at customs. After all, there were too many people watching him there, and it was easy to make mistakes if he was not careful. There was no harm in being cautious.

So according to my personality, unless there is a real need or something that can attract me, it is impossible for me to join Rosa's organization.

So... that secret should be the key, the key to convincing myself to join the Rosa organization.

But what is this secret?

Forget it, I won’t think about it anymore. I can’t figure it out anyway. Just like Rosa said, I’ll understand it when the time comes.

However...Barbatos in the city must be dealt with first!

Compared with Attila and others, Barbatos is obviously a greater threat. After all, Barbatos is different from Attila. Attila is controllable, not Cefalu, and Barbatos is this pillar... God knows if he is controllable.

Then the problem is coming.

Now, what does Barbatos look like?

As we all know, the Demon Pillar can also look like a human, such as Professor Leif in FGO. Tony has forgotten why this happened. Anyway, the Demon Pillar has this ability, so Barbatos should have changed into a human. But there are so many people in Rome, who is Barbatos? ! I should have asked that bastard Rosa what Barbatos looks like.

Oh... forget it, let’s go back first.

According to Tony's plan, he needs to go to the Upper Germanic Province in a few days to attend the Northern Martial Arts Show. Since it is a martial arts show, there must be audiences. In addition to the various barbarian tribes in the Germanic area, the audience from the Roman Empire will naturally be His Royal Highness Prince Oddny.

Of course, the most crucial point is that Tony needs to show his face there. He wants to tell Parthia in this way, I am now in Germany... ahem, I am not out of contact. In short, I am in Germany now, you can rest assured, the Empire’s main target of attack is Germany, not you Parthia.

In order to make the Parthian Empire as unprepared as possible, Tony is now trying every means to fool Parthia, making Parthia think that the Roman Empire's main opponent at the moment should be the Germans, not Parthia. In this way, the Roman Empire will be able to attack Parthia by surprise.

"Brother, you have to be careful when you go to the German province this time." In Tony's bedroom, Nero said as he packed Tony's luggage.

It is undeniable that since the relationship was confirmed, Nero has really put herself into the role of a wife, so much so that now when Tony sees Nero sometimes he really wants to make the sound of a otaku and shout "wife".

"This Upper German Province... shouldn't be dangerous, right?" Tony scratched his head. This time he went to the Upper German Province to watch the military exercises, not to fight in the war, so it should... not be dangerous. Besides, there aren't many large wild beasts in the Upper German Province right now, not to mention the mythical beasts. There are even fewer mythical beasts on the continent now than pandas.

So...what's the danger?

"Brother, although I may be a little suspicious, but... you have to know that this Northern Martial Arts Show is, to some extent, also a provocation to the Germans. So you have to be careful, brother, and watch out for them to do something desperate." Nero stood up and stroked his brother's head.

"Hmm...that makes sense." Tony nodded. His sister's concerns did make some sense.

If we had not investigated thoroughly before and did not know that the Parthians were behind the Marcomanni, then the Germans would have had to hold back their anger even if they were beaten. There was nothing they could do. After all, the answer on the surface now is that it was you Germans who planned the assassination of Agrippina the Younger, the Queen Mother of the Roman Empire, so we Romans want revenge on you.

Okay, if that's the case then there's nothing to say.

But the problem is, it’s not like that!

The Parthians are the masterminds, and we have verified this for you. Why are you hitting us instead of beating the real masterminds? !

Military performance? What is a military performance? I don't know what a military performance is. I only know that you are gathering the troops!

In order to prepare for a possible war, several Germanic tribes near the Upper Germanic province gathered their troops, intending to wait and see who the Romans were going to fight.

Chapter 414 Public Opinion on Murder

The military exercise Tony prepared was naturally the kind of red-blue confrontation exercise often seen on TV. According to tradition, the story background of this exercise was that the Roman Empire was invaded by barbarians. As for who the barbarians were... ahem, there was no need to say more, right?

Although the wording was not made clear and only the vague term "barbarians" was used, anyone with a discerning eye could understand that the barbarians here referred to the Germanic people.

Therefore, this red-blue confrontation exercise simulates how the Germanic Legion in the Upper Germanic Province should respond to the Germanic invasion.

Except that the weapons were made of wood and wrapped in cloth to prevent the soldiers from getting injured, everything else in this exercise was basically no different from a normal battle, according to Tony's requirements. Because only in this way could Tony test the combat effectiveness of the Roman Empire's army, especially the combat effectiveness of the elite Germanic Legion.

Of course, there is actually nothing to test.

After all, the reason why the Germanic people can be called barbarians is not only that their weapons and equipment are not as good as those of the Roman Empire, but the most crucial issue is that these people are honest and they... don't have any complicated strategies or tactics.

"So boring." In the city of Santan, Tony muttered to himself as he watched the various military intelligence continuously sent back by his men.

If I had known this military exercise would be so boring, I wouldn’t have sat here!

That's right, Tony overlooked one point. In this era, if military exercises really happen, especially this kind of red-blue confrontation exercise... it's actually very boring.

Why do those military exercises seem to be so exciting 2,000 years later? The reason is simple. First, the weapons and equipment, various warships, tanks, self-propelled artillery, and even helicopters and fighter jets, look spectacular. In addition, the exercise headquarters are equipped with surveillance cameras and cameras, so these large scenes can be recorded and broadcast live.

And the most important thing is that the military exercises Tony saw were all sourced from TV dramas like "I Am a Special Forces Soldier". This kind of TV dramas...even the squad's interspersed movements were filmed for you, okay?

But what about this era? Sorry, there is no surveillance system in this era, you can't see the front line, so you want to know what happened on the front line? Oh, text intelligence?
