My XX deal with Sister Nero

Psychics like Rosa use the natural elements between heaven and earth to fight, so he won't have any problem of insufficient magic power, but Rosa is still a human being. Although his psychic power has not reached the limit, his physical strength has long reached the limit. After killing in the closed city of Taixi for so long, he is now exhausted.

Seeing Rosa's tired face, Ola nodded obediently and stood quietly beside Rosa waiting for his strength to recover.

On the other side, Taixi was sealed off from the city.

Tiridates was now very angry.

Angola Mainu was not wrong in his guess. Tony really valued Ola, otherwise he would not have sent such a strong man to rescue Ola, but... this strong man was too strong, so strong that it was beyond everyone's expectations.

But... such a strong man, why didn't Tony come out at the beginning? If he used such a person to perform a decapitation operation, not to mention going to Isfahan, let's say during the previous Battle of the Plains, if such a person suddenly appeared in front of him and killed him, taking advantage of the Parthian army being leaderless, His Royal Highness could have completely defeated the Parthian army in one fell swoop, but... why didn't he do it?

Maybe... this person was not with Tony before, but just arrived recently? Or maybe this guy is the type who only follows orders but not instructions?

"Go and check it out. I want to know the origins of this man named Rosa as soon as possible!" After walking back and forth in the central military tent, Tiridati said loudly to several senior generals who were kneeling in front of him with an irritated look on his face.

"General..." Upon hearing Tiridates' words, a senior general raised his head tremblingly and whispered, "This Rosa... according to previous intelligence, he seems to be related to the Roman emperor. I remember that when the intelligence personnel delivered the intelligence to Isfahan, I happened to be nearby. I have a general understanding of the intelligence about this person..."

Chapter 480: Malice from Adults

"You say." Hearing that someone already had information about Rosa, Tiridates' expression improved a little. He nodded to the general, indicating that he should tell him the information he had.

"Rosa's appearance was very abrupt, but also very eye-catching. According to the report from our spies lurking in Rome, Rosa first appeared with a young general of the Imperial Guard. At that time, the two of them came to the gate of the Roman Palace. Because they had some conflicts with the guards at that time, it was difficult not to attract people's attention."

"So since that time, the empire's spies have been observing this person?" Tiridati frowned and asked subconsciously.

"Yes, General." The general nodded and said, "According to our spies' speculation, this Rosa should not belong to the Roman Empire. From his appearance, he has a face that is more like an Oriental. And according to investigations, although this Rosa sometimes wears Roman general armor, he actually does not serve in the Roman military. He even lives in a hotel in Rome. And this person seems to have his own purpose. He often moves around and rarely stays in a fixed city."

"Isn't he from the Roman military..." Tiridates nodded. This was within his expectations.

"General, according to the spies' report, this man did not seem to be affected in any way when he was active in the Roman Empire. Logically speaking, an Oriental, an Oriental who is rarely seen in the Parthian Empire, was active in the Roman Empire without any suspicion. General, isn't this strange?" The general suddenly glanced around, leaned in front of Tiridates and whispered, "Moreover, an Oriental who traveled through various countries to the West, I really can't think of any other identity he has except a slave, so General, a slave, how could he walk freely on the land of the Roman Empire?"

"Because... Nero?" Tiridates was stunned for a moment, and then realized the most critical issue!

Generally speaking, if an Oriental appeared in the Roman Empire, there was only one possibility: this person was a slave, and a slave could not move freely. This was common sense of that era.

But now, this guy named Rosa can not only move freely within the Roman Empire, but he can even wear armor that only high-ranking generals of the Roman Empire are qualified to wear. Why is this because of his great strength?

No! A slave is a slave. No matter how strong he is, he is still a slave!

This is a matter of identity, and has nothing to do with one’s own strength.

Therefore, the fact that he was able to operate within the Roman Empire shows that his master tacitly approved of this.

And who is his master?

There is only one master who can give a slave such high-grade armor.

The current emperor of the Roman Empire, His Majesty Nero!

Therefore, based on the previous intelligence, it was not difficult for Tiridates to infer the so-called "facts".

A young Roman general discovered this guy named Rosa. He used some means to make Rosa a slave and then presented him to the Emperor of the Roman Empire.

And this Rosa might be good at speaking, or maybe his own abilities were indeed enough to attract Nero. In short, for some unknown reason, Nero was very indulgent towards this Rosa, and this indulgence... could completely make him a target of attack by the Parthian Empire!

As for the nobles, as we all know, they sometimes have a lot of fun, but the problem is that this fun is tacit and cannot be exposed. For example, in the history of the world where Tony lived in his previous life, Nero fell in love with Otto's wife, and Otto was very tactful and divorced his wife to let her follow Nero. This kind of thing was very common among Roman nobles.

But although it is common, generally speaking everyone knows it and won’t say it out loud. After all, you can’t say in front of everyone that I like your wife, right?

So now, here comes the point.

It was no secret that Nero and Tony were engaged. Not to mention the nobles in the Parthian Empire, many common people in big cities knew about it. And the protagonist of this story, our Prince... seemed to be going out often.

The fiancé is away from home for a long time, and the fiancée is very close to a slave. If this matter were to be exposed, what would our young and frivolous prince think?

Or we can be more malicious.

What would the little prince think if the rumors contained malicious remarks such as the child was too young to satisfy Your Majesty?

What does the little prince think of that guy named Rosa?

Will he still trust this Rosa?

Or let's go a step further.

Rosa was very strong, being able to kill thousands of Parthian soldiers was enough to show how strong Rosa was. And the fact that His Royal Highness sent such a strong man to rescue Ola also showed that Ola occupied a considerable position in His Royal Highness's heart.

What if Tiridati added some spice to this rumor? For example, on the way back, Rosa and Aura...

Anyway, this Rosa is given the image of a minotaur. Do you think Tony can tolerate it?

"Perhaps... I know what to do. I think we should let this genius little prince of the Roman Empire know what the malice of adults is." Tiridati sneered and muttered to himself.

If this method is used properly, not only can Rosa be eliminated, but it can also cause the brother and sister to become alienated. If the brother and sister become alienated at this time, the Parthian Empire will have a chance to seize the initiative in this war!

Just do it.

After sending away these generals, Tiridates hurriedly wrote a letter, revealing his plan to Vologases I, hoping to get his help.

At this moment, Vologases I was also in trouble.

Although the major nobles in the country have not yet resorted to force and have no intention of forcing Vologases I through force, Vologases I knows at this moment that he must have a certain number of troops in his hands. Only in this way can he protect himself.

So if Tiridates wanted soldiers, Vologases I might still hesitate, but if he wanted something else, such as letting spies from the Parthian Empire create some public opinion in Rome, Vologases I would not think twice and would agree directly.

Therefore, under the instruction of Vologases I, almost all the Parthian spies in Rome came out and began to spread public opinion in Rome.

Chapter 481: A Tauren’s Story…

Both Tiridates and Tony knew that the key to victory in the Parthian War did not lie in Armenia, where the Roman Empire had sent the largest number of troops, but in the 100,000-strong army in the Mesopotamian region led by Tony himself.

If Tony defeated Tiridates' army, it would mean that the main force of the Parthian Empire's only border defense army in the west would be completely wiped out, and Vologases I would be in a very passive position both in domestic and foreign affairs, and there was even a high possibility that he would be overthrown by his own ministers.

Similarly, if the Parthian Empire defeated Tony's 100,000 troops and captured Tony alive, the Roman Empire would be in a very passive position. After all, everyone knows that our Majesty loves his younger brother very much. If Tony is captured, Nero would probably be willing to pay any price to rescue his brother.

Even if it means ceding territory in exchange for peace, we will do so.

However, the battles in this area are not the kind that require several battles to determine the winner. The battles in this area can almost be said to be able to resolve everything in one battle. If the two sides fight a decisive battle in a certain battle, and if one side wins the battle, then it means that they have won an absolute victory in the war.

Or let’s change to a more understandable one.

In Europa Universalis, if a country wants to defeat another country, it needs to gain victory points by defeating the opponent's army and occupying the opponent's land. A victory in a battle may only give a few victory points, but if the opponent's capital is captured, more than ten or twenty victory points may be obtained.

But in this war between the Roman Empire and the Parthian Empire, if Tony defeated Tiridates, it would mean that he had gained at least seventy victory points. If Tiridates defeated the Roman Empire and captured Tony, that... basically meant that Tiridates had gained one hundred victory points.

So the two sides confronted each other like snakes, waiting to launch a fatal attack at any time.

Unlike Tony, Tiridati knew that he couldn't just wait passively like this.

If the two sides remain in a stalemate, the other two armies of the Roman Empire will be able to break through the Parthian Empire's defenses and attack Isfahan at any time. The Parthian Empire will still lose then, so Tiridates must find a way to break the deadlock as soon as possible.

The simplest way to break the impasse was to force the 100,000-strong Roman army to have another major battle with him in a certain plain area, and then lead the cavalry to defeat the Roman army in this battle, capture His Royal Highness the Prince, and thus win the war.

Well, this kind of thing is just something to think about. Not to mention the prince with his unconventional thinking, the very least point is that Bruce will never allow such a thing to happen.

So if you want to break the deadlock and force the opponent to a decisive battle, forget it. But apart from this, Tiridates can completely break the deadlock through other means.

For example, this "adult" plan.

Thanks to the Parthians' strenuous propaganda, soon almost everyone in Rome had heard the story of Rosa and Nero.

In fact, the nobles of the Roman Empire had all heard of the name Rosa. After all, he had entered and left the palace freely many times. The nobles would pay some attention to such a person, but there were too few people who knew Rosa, and Rosa did not belong to this world, so everyone knew almost nothing about Rosa's identity.

As for the civilians...they had never even heard of the name Rosa.

So when the Parthians revealed this matter, the entire city of Rome was stunned.

The story is actually very simple.

A young noble general accidentally discovered a very powerful slave named Rosa, and then in order to please His Majesty, the general presented the slave to His Majesty.

As for Her Majesty, as a young girl, she was naturally fascinated by this masculine young man. Even after she was engaged to her younger brother, Her Majesty still flirted with Rosa, and Rosa also went in and out of the palace from time to time.

At this moment, our Prince is fighting like a fool at the border of the Parthian Empire for the empire and for his sister, and he has no idea that His Majesty is having an affair with another man.

Of course, His Majesty does like Your Highness.

Considering that His Highness was in danger on the front line, His Majesty specially sent Rosa to help protect His Highness. At this time, His Highness's personal maid Aura was captured by the Parthian army and taken to Ctesiphon.

As we all know, a personal maid not only has to take care of her master's daily life but also has to devote herself to her master. So when Ola was captured, Tony, in a rage, ordered Rosa to rescue Ola. Rosa lived up to expectations and successfully rescued Ola. However... it is not clear what happened to these two along the way that is unknown to outsiders.

In short, after some "artistic processing", a situational ethics Minotaur drama was completed.

People will not really investigate whether this story is true or not, they just want to know if this story is appetizing enough. Well, this story is more than just appetizing, this story... is simply explosive!

Tony enjoys a high reputation among the people.

In terms of military affairs, he can quell rebellions and conquer enemy countries. In terms of literature, he can also formulate some national policies that benefit the country and the people. In addition, he has a cute appearance and is usually polite to the citizens when playing in Rome. Therefore, almost everyone in the entire city of Rome, all the civilians and nobles who have no conflict of interest with Tony like this prince very much.

After hearing this story, the Roman citizens expressed great sympathy for His Royal Highness the Prince, but also expressed contempt for His Majesty's behavior.

If the three parties were all in Rome, they could have explained and salvaged the situation, but unfortunately, none of the three parties were in Rome, and the Senate and Nero's advisory group, who were in charge of the overall situation, did not know the true situation of the matter, so they could only ban the topic.

However, at this critical juncture, the attitude of the Senate seems to be a bit of an attempt to cover up something, and the Senate happens to be the representative of the aristocratic class.

As a result, public opinion fermented further, and the "young nobleman" who presented Rosa to His Majesty was specifically changed to "the son of a senator". In addition, the Senate was trying to cover up the truth, which made many low-level officials loyal to Tony begin to connect with each other and plan to unite together, hoping that they could help His Royal Highness so that His Royal Highness would have the capital to fight against the Senate in the future!

Chapter 482: Conspiracy against Rosa!

"What the hell is this?!" Two days later, in a city on the border of Parthia, Tony subconsciously raised his eyebrows as he looked at the information from Rome in his hand. What's going on? Have the Romans changed their tastes recently? Instead of watching pure love, they're watching Minotaur?

Which idiot wrote this minotaur story?!

"Your Highness..." After taking a quick glance at the story in Tony's hand, Bruce quickly retracted his gaze, then lowered his head to stare at his toes and stopped talking.

This story... is so...

"Have you found out who is the author of this story?" Tony crumpled the cloth in his hand into a ball and asked with a gloomy face as he looked at the soldier kneeling in front of him.

"This... Your Highness, I don't know..." The soldier answered Tony with a sad face.

He is just a soldier responsible for sending and receiving letters, what does he know!

"Yeah, it would be weird if you knew that." After taking a deep breath and forcing himself to calm down, Tony read the contents of the letter again and made his first judgment.

This story was not written by the Romans!

There may be someone in Rome who has the ability to write such a story, but no one in Rome would dare to write such a story!

Nonsense, if I write this, it would basically be equivalent to offending His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Prince at the same time. This would be totally against my own will, no one would be so stupid.

So who else but the Romans would have dared to write such a story?

That's right, only the Parthians dared to write it.

Other countries, whether it was the British barbarians or the Germanic barbarians, did not dare to write about them, because they were not capable of facing the overwhelming wrath of the Roman Empire, but Parthia dared to write about them, after all... Anyway, you have pushed me to the ground and left, so what's wrong with me mocking you a few times?

Okay, now that we have identified the author of this story, it’s time to analyze a new question: Is the content of this story true?

The letter mentioned that the descendants of the elders brought Rosa to present to His Majesty. I think it should be the time when the heroic spirit Tony mentioned that he and Rosa went to see His Majesty together.

Tony still knew Rosa's origin. According to the description of the heroic spirit Tony, Rosa came from another world, which was not the same world as the one Tony lived in in his previous life. It was a world in which people with super powers existed. So Rosa was not a slave, nor was she able to move around because of Nero's favor.

Okay, now that these issues have been clarified, the next two most critical issues remain.

What does Rosa think of Nero?

What do you think of Rosa?

There are not many people in this world who know Rosa's identity. Tony is one, Nero is one, and the rest are a few men Rosa brought with him and Xiao Changtian. Apart from these people, in the entire Roman Empire, probably only the nobles have heard of Rosa, and the information about Rosa... may be limited to just one sentence.

"I have a good relationship with His Highness and His Majesty."

As for who Rosa is specifically... Sorry, I don't know.

It is precisely because everyone's understanding of Rosa is almost a blank sheet of paper that the Parthians dared to boldly paint the colors of Rosa in front of everyone.

Okay, next is the most critical question.

Rosa, what do you think of Nero?

According to Tony and Nero's previous dreams, Nero trusts the future Rosa very much, and after the heroic spirit Tony brought the present Rosa to meet Nero, Nero seemed to show a hint of concern?

You know, this is not a good sign.

But what does Rosa think of Nero?

Although he knew Rosa's background, knew that Rosa and his future self should have a very good relationship, and knew that his future self was very confident in Rosa, but... after reading the story of the Minotaur, a thorn finally appeared in Tony's heart, a thorn related to Rosa.

In contrast, the relationship between Rosa and Ola... Tony doesn't care.

Because it took Rosa less than two days from the time he set out to the time he rescued Ola, and then to the time he brought Ola back to Samosata. It was impossible for Rosa to do something in these less than two days, and...even if Rosa really did something to Ola, Tony wouldn't mind, because Tony's feelings for Ola were just closeness, not love, and he didn't mind if Ola had someone she liked.
