My XX deal with Sister Nero

Chapter 516: Do you want to enjoy the knee pillow?

"What is...four-channel?" After two seconds of silence, Ta Miao finally asked in confusion.

Ah...it seems that there is no concept of sound channel in this era?

Tony scratched his head. "To put it simply, we usually say that our left ear is the left channel, so one ear is one channel. Sister Ata, you have four ears... Don't you find it strange to hear the sound?"

"Eh? That's what you're talking about." Ta Miao subconsciously pinched the pair of ears on top of his head and said, "Actually, I don't know why, but since I got these ears, I feel like the pair of human ears below me... don't seem to be of much use."

"Ah?" Tony was stunned at first when he heard Ta Miao's answer, but then he understood.

Compared to human ears, cats' ears are more sensitive, the sounds they hear are more delicate, and the range of their perception is farther. To put it simply, the ears on the top of a cat's head work better than its original human ears, so when it comes to hearing sounds, cats have basically ignored the signals received by their human ears.

After all, cat ears can hear what human ears can hear, and cat ears can also hear what human ears cannot hear. Of course, humans will subconsciously ignore what human ears can hear.

After figuring this out, Tony could understand why she had been able to sense the attack from a distance before.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore~" Tony waved his hand casually, "Sister Ata came here, she should have noticed it, right? We captured Tiridates and revitalized the entire war situation. In addition to the containment of several countries in the east, the rebels in the south, our two legions, and the thousands of allied troops we recovered, the Parthian Empire should be in a state of exhaustion now. Several nobles below want to take the opportunity to drive the Ashasis family off the throne, making it impossible for the Parthian Empire to fight the enemy with all its strength... In short, we won."

Tony paused for a moment before continuing, "Sister Ata, you want to ask me if I can assign someone to investigate Katniss's whereabouts earlier, right?"

"Eh?" Ta Miao was stunned for a moment, and said in a strange way: "No, why would little Tony think so?"

ah? no?

This is a bit embarrassing.

Tony scratched his head. If he didn't come to him for this matter, then what could it be?

Perhaps it was because he was still on the battlefield, or perhaps it was because he had been scheming against others for too long, Tony... seemed to have forgotten what was going on in people's hearts.

Tamiao likes children, so this time he just came to see how Tony was doing. After all, in Tamiao's opinion, he had just commanded a war and was involved in intrigues with others, so he should be very tired now.

So Ta Miao came here for only one purpose, which was to comfort the tired little Tony.

"Well... well, if not, cough cough... emmmm, the moon is quite round tonight!" Tony coughed and slowly moved towards the door. When he reached the door, he suddenly lifted the door curtain, pointed to the sky and said, "The moon is quite round tonight."

"But... there is no moon today." After taking a strange look at the sky outside, Ta Meow said to Tony with a strange expression.

"Emmmm..." Looking up at the dark sky, Tony's heart became even more complicated.

Looking at the sky, the clouds are quite thick tonight and it should rain... So the question is, where are the moon and stars?

This is even more embarrassing!

"So... what exactly does Sister Ata want to talk to me about?" Tony lowered the door curtain somewhat awkwardly, slowly moved to the table, and finally decided to give up resisting.

"Ah... I just want to ask, are you okay? It must be tiring to command the battle? And you were just scheming with a member of the Parthian family." While speaking, Ta Miao came to Tony and gently stroked Tony's head.

"Huh?" Tony was stunned. The purpose of Ta-Meow coming here was just to care about him... right?

Well, it seems that I am a little nervous.

Tony shook his head gently, put on a relatively innocent face, looked up at Ta Meow, and said in a very light tone: "Of course I'm... fine~"

"Really?" He squatted down and took a closer look at Tony's little face. Seeing that his face was full of fatigue, Ta Miao, who was very concerned about the child, couldn't help but feel distressed: "It's quite late now, little Tony...it's time to go to bed."

Emmmm, okay.

After a rough estimate of the time, it should be about ten o'clock in the evening. For a child, this is almost time to go to bed. In addition, I am indeed a little tired in the past two days, so resting early... seems to be a good idea.

"Okay, Sister Ata...you're right, it's time for me to go to bed and rest now." Tony shrugged and said to Ta Miao.

"Yeah." Ta Miao responded and walked to Tony's bed. He sat beside the bed and gently patted the edge of the bed and said to Tony, "I heard... that knee pillow can help with sleep. Well, I don't mind helping little Tony..."

???

Knee pillow helps you sleep?!

Pause for a moment... Who taught me this? !

Logically speaking, I should be the only one in this world who knows about the lap pillow! At most, Nero, Tita, and Aura who have used it as a lap pillow on me are also included, so...how did Ta Miao know about it?

Could it be that... that bastard Rosa said that? !

Rosa, like himself, comes from modern society. Rosa also said at the beginning that except for the super powers and more advanced technology in his world, other aspects of his world are not much different from Tony's world, including some two-dimensional culture, so the knee pillow...it is very likely that this bastard said it!

"Hiss~Ha~" Tony took a deep breath and slowly made a strange breathing sound. He looked at Tamiao seriously and said, "Sister Ata, I just have one question... Sister Ata... How did you know about the knee pillow?"

"Eh? This?" Ta Miao touched his chin, thought for two seconds and said, "Mary told me about this when we were on the road some time ago. She heard from Ola that you seemed to have told her that a knee pillow could relieve your fatigue..."

Emmmm......

Looking at Ta-Meow's slender legs, Tony fell into deep thought.

Ta Miao is a warrior, so she has almost no extra fat on her body, and she is a demigod...

Tony swallowed reluctantly.

It seems, it seems... pretty good?

"Ahem, well, Sister Ata, I'm going to take a shower first. I fought a battle today and I'm a little sweaty. I'll feel uncomfortable if I don't take a shower." After coughing twice in embarrassment, Tony quickly lifted the door curtain and slipped out.

PS: I have something to tell you. I don't know what's going on with this sensitive word library. Anyway, there are no sensitive word prompts when I send it out, but some words will be blocked on the front end. If anyone sees it, please tell me and I will modify it.

The Romans loved to take baths, and this was known to the whole world. Even two thousand years later, people who knew a little about Roman history understood this. However, in the military camp, it was impossible for the logistics troops to prepare a large bathhouse for Tony.

But Tony is a nobleman. It is impossible for him to live like other soldiers who don't need to wash and sleep in their clothes. Tony can't do that. Tony needs to take a bath.

So in order to meet Tony's need, the logistics soldiers cut down a few trees and made a temporary wooden bathtub for Tony to enjoy a little.

Lying in the small bathtub, Tony took a deep breath and tried to force himself to cool down.

First of all, as the princess of Arcadia, Tamiao is naturally quite outstanding in both appearance and figure. And because she offended the gods, Tamiao was given lion ears and a tail... Well, she is a girl with animal ears, right? She has a natural special attack against some people.

Of course, the properties of steel plates...well...ahem.

Well, that knee pillow, right? It has nothing to do with whether it is a steel plate or not.

Well, as we all know, Ta Miao is a hunter, and she has participated in hunting Calydonian boars. It can be said that she is one of the top hunters, and hunters, right? Ah, in terms of figure, especially the legs, right? It's pretty good.

Just when Tony was lying in his little bathtub cooling off, the curtain of the small tent bathhouse suddenly opened, and Ta Miao walked in with a slightly red face, holding a small white towel and said to Tony: "Um...Little Tony, let me rub your back~"

hiss!

He quickly glanced at Ta Miao who had just walked in, and found that she was looking at the tent cloth beside her with her head tilted in a somewhat embarrassed manner, so he almost didn't think about it, and quickly stood up, turned his back to Ta Miao, and shouted: "Get out of here!!!"

Oh my god! ! !

Others don’t know, but Tony... has a lot of controls, such as leg control, sister control, animal ear control and so on, and Ta Meow happens to have all of them.

This is why Tony wanted to cool down when Tamiao said he would give Tony a lap pillow.

And now, before Tony even cooled down, Tamiao came in and said he wanted to rub Tony's back.

Hiss... Tony was really afraid that his brother would vomit while Ta-Meow was wiping him.

"Eh?" Hearing Tony's voice, Ta Miao was stunned at first, then he subconsciously took two steps forward and said: "Little Tony... I..."

"Ahem." Tony pressed his legs awkwardly, then slowly turned his head, trying to turn it as far back as possible without moving his body. Then he turned his eyes to his back as much as possible and said to Ta Miao who was standing behind him, "Sister Ata, um... let's go out for a while~"

"Eh? But I heard from Mary that little Tony likes someone to rub his back when he takes a bath~" Tamiao was a little surprised. She heard that when Tony was taking a bath in Rome, Ola would go in and rub his back... Ola is not here now. Although she was a princess back then and had no experience in serving others, but... she should be able to do something like rubbing his back, right?

Why did Tony let Ola rub his back?

In fact, the reason is very simple.

In my previous life, I went to Northeast China on a business trip. In the bathhouses in Northeast China, there would be a bath scrubber to rub your back after you take a bath. Yes, they are professionals who would scrub the mud off you, not the kind of... right?

Of course, there were similar situations in the bathhouses of the Roman Empire, such as people would give you a scrub or something...

Tony didn't mind Ola giving him a bath, after all, Ola was still a child. Although Tony once had the idea of ​​having a lolita complex, that was a thing of the past. As Tony got older, his mentality became more childish. In other words, his tendency to have a sister complex became gradually more obvious.

And then...no more.

He really had no interest in Aura's flat body, but Ta Miao... Even though she was made of steel, she was still a sister! Could a steel body not be a sister?

If I accidentally stand up, I will be so embarrassed!

According to the timeline, although Ta Miao now maintains the body shape and figure of a girl, she is already a mother, and her son... Forget it, Zeus is still alive. There are some things that you should better say less if you don't want to be struck by lightning.

Anyway, if Tony's friend stood up, Tamiao might not think it was a big deal, but Tony... forget it, it's too embarrassing, it's better to let the person leave.

Having finally given up the idea of ​​Tamiao scrubbing his back, Tony didn't dare to continue washing like this. After rubbing it twice hastily and carelessly, Tony jumped out of the bathtub, changed his clothes and quickly returned to his tent.

After what Ta-Meow did, Tony didn’t dare ask Ta-Meow to prepare any lap pillow for him anymore, just in case...right.

After resting here for a few days, Tony first sent someone to contact the Royal Guards, asking them to stay on the spot and wait for his arrival. At the same time, he ordered Bruce to send spies to lurk in Ctesiphon first. Then, Tony's next plan was... to bring the heroic spirits and sneak into Ctesiphon himself, to assist the Royal Guards and open the gate of Ctesiphon.

Although Eubor said he would help the Roman army open the gates of Ctesiphon, Eubor was a Parthian after all, and he could not be completely trusted. In this kind of situation, it is better to prepare a way out. What if? What if they are lying to you? What if the 20,000 troops in the south are attracted and the enemy takes the opportunity to encircle and suppress you under the city of Ctesiphon?

This is also possible, isn't it?

So Tony didn't dare to gamble, at least, he didn't dare to risk the lives of 20,000 soldiers.

Therefore, the best way is to arrange people to enter the city of Ctesiphon first. If Eubor really deceived himself, he could open the city gates and let the army enter the city. Once in the city, then... in the street fighting, the Parthian cavalry, who were restricted in their hands, were no match for the Roman Guards.

However, this matter must be handled with caution.

Be it Tamiao or Uncle B, the combat effectiveness of Heroic Spirits in their complete state is far beyond the reach of castrated Servant, let alone ordinary people. Moreover, even if Tony does not have a Noble Phantasm at the moment, even if he just uses normal attacks, his combat effectiveness is not something that ordinary soldiers can contend with.

So Tony was not worried about losing his life in Ctesiphon.

He was worried about what decision Bruce would make.

After all, His Royal Highness the Prince is putting himself in danger, and according to normal logic, the people below will definitely not agree, and Bruce... is also a normal person, so he will definitely not agree to such a situation. Even if Tony can use his identity to suppress opposition and sneak into Ctesiphon this time, what if Bruce tells Nero about this, then... he will probably be hung up and beaten by his sister again!

PS: Thanks to "永永永動機" for the two blades, thank you~

Chapter 518: The Past-Seeing Magic Eye and the Future-Seeing Magic Eye

How can I avoid getting beaten?

Tony was in a dilemma.

My sister cares about me the most. If I were to put myself in danger, no matter what my original motive was, no matter what the final outcome was, even if I could get a complete victory, my sister would drop everything in her hands and rush over to beat me up as quickly as possible.

and……

It would have been fine before. More than a year ago, the Roman Empire might have only used some simple magic for communication. But now, under Tony's planning, the Roman Empire began to reach a tacit understanding with the Magic Association in certain areas. The Magic Association reciprocated. In order to survive better in the Roman Empire, they also gave some fantasy beasts to the high-level officials of the Roman Empire for their convenience.

In other words, if Bruce really reported it to Nero, based on the speed at which familiars transmit information and the flying speed of mythical beasts, Tony would be beaten up by his sister who would rush over in five days at most.

Well... forget it, let's not think about it for now. Anyway, even if I want to go to Ctesiphon, I have to join up with the Imperial Guards first. What I have to do now, of course, is to collect intelligence.

As winter approached, the wars between the Roman Empire and the Parthian Empire were no longer as frequent as they had been a few months ago. As if as agreed, the two sides temporarily entered a strategic stalemate, waiting for the arrival of spring, and then...defeating their opponents in one fell swoop.

The Parthian cavalry that was originally galloping on the Asia Minor Peninsula seemed to have received some order. After a brief commotion, these cavalry began to retreat gradually and orderly towards Ctesiphon.

"It seems that Yubol did not lie, at least, not now." In a small town, after receiving new information from his subordinates, Tony nodded. Whether Yubol did it to paralyze himself or really wanted to establish a good relationship with the Roman Empire, at least he did fulfill his previous promise to withdraw the cavalry on the Asia Minor Peninsula as much as possible. He wanted to make this matter a new bargaining chip in his negotiations with the Roman Senate.

No matter what, it is a fact that the cavalry on the Anatolian Peninsula retreated. From this moment on, even if Tony and his men failed to capture Ctesiphon, at least the other two armies, without any worries, could march straight to Isfahan at any time.

This incident even exposed another problem, that is, Vologases I had basically lost control of part of the troops on the front line.

However, Tony overlooked one thing.

On the front line of the war between the Parthian Empire and the Roman Empire, in addition to the 70,000 highly-anticipated cavalry, Tiridates also had a heroic spirit and five court magicians under his command.

"General." In a field beside a Roman road, a middle-aged man in a robe untied the ropes on Tiridates' body, bowed slightly to him and said, "It seems that tens of thousands of our troops have now withdrawn to Ctesiphon. General, you see..."

After moving his wrists a little, Tiridati let out a long sigh and looked at the middle-aged man in the robe with a serious face and said, "As expected, I represent His Majesty. Now that I have lost, the nobles in the country who hate Your Majesty will naturally try to seize the command of the front-line troops. Only in this way can they preserve their own strength as much as possible and at the same time overthrow Your Majesty's rule by pretending to be someone else."

At this point, Tiridates paused before continuing: "Okay, now let's talk about this. How many loyal warriors do I have at my disposal at this moment?"

"General, besides the five of us, there is also the guy who calls himself Angola Mainyu, and... the general's personal guards."

"That is to say, I only have a few hundred soldiers at my disposal..." Tiridates shook his head. What could he do with such a small force? Apart from executing a decapitation operation to kill Tony, the only thing he could do was to withdraw to Ctesiphon, find a way to control the army in Ctesiphon, and then defend against the invasion of the Roman Empire in Ctesiphon.

As for these two methods... forget about the first one. Tony, who is protected by a demigod, is not someone he can kill. So the only option now is to retreat first.

At least... we must withdraw to Taixifeng first and take back the military power!

"General, I think that although we have to withdraw to Ctesiphon now, we can definitely create some trouble for His Royal Highness Prince Oddni along the way to make his journey difficult. After all, their current strategic goal should be to join forces with the 20,000 troops on the front line and then march south to attack Ctesiphon."

"What you mean is that part of our routes will overlap, so why not just set up an ambush halfway?" Tiridati was stunned at first, then frowned.

If they set an ambush halfway, the other side has a demigod. Even if they have cavalry that can move in like the wind, facing a demigod, are cavalry... really useful?

"Yes, General. We can set up an ambush along the way." At this point, the middle-aged magician paused before saying, "General, perhaps you don't know much about us magicians. Some of us have a peculiar ability called the Magic Eye. To put it simply, it allows one's eyes to be transformed into magic circuits, so that one's eyes have certain magical qualities. For example, my partner's Magic Eye has Future Vision, which allows him to see the future, and mine has Past Vision, which allows him to see the past. If we work together, then to some extent, even a demigod cannot be our opponent."
