My XX deal with Sister Nero

"Where did these monsters come from?"

At this moment, on a hillside dozens of kilometers away from this small fishing village, Gilgamesh was controlling the king's treasure and ravaging the group of monsters that were rushing towards him. Although there were a large number of monsters, their combat effectiveness did not seem to be very strong.

"Could it be... because of Tiamat?" Gilgamesh muttered to himself with a gloomy face, glancing at the sea not far away.

The large-scale appearance of Warcraft is a very abnormal phenomenon. If we really want to explain it, this... may be related to Tiamat?

As the king of Uruk, Gilgamesh was certainly familiar with Mesopotamian mythology, so he also knew the story of Tiamat.

In the ocean, on the coastline not far away, there are probably... tens of thousands of magical beasts, right?

Just as Gilgamesh was distracted thinking about these things, a magical beast that looked a bit like a lion actually passed through the King's Treasure, came in front of Gilgamesh, and raised its paw high towards him.

"Hmph, a miscellaneous cultivator!" After taking a half step back, several halos appeared out of thin air in the void behind Gilgamesh. A weapon emerged from each of the halos, pointing at the magical beast from a distance.

Then... this monster was naturally targeted.

"Hmph!" With a cold snort, Gilgamesh looked up at the group of monsters in the distance and fell into deep thought.

As the fifth king of the Kingdom of Uruk, Gilgamesh was very arrogant, or in other words, he seldom looked up to anyone except himself, which could be seen from the fact that he kept referring to himself as "miscellaneous cultivators".

But because of Enkidu, Gilgamesh, who was originally called a tyrant, gradually changed his character and became the wise king he is today, who is arrogant but will also give certain benefits to the people. Well, to put it simply, he is the kind of person who is slightly arrogant...

But one thing is for sure.

The Kingdom of Uruk is located in the lower reaches of the Mesopotamian River Basin, a bit close to where Gilgamesh is now. So to some extent, the land that Gilgamesh is standing on at this moment is within the radiation range of the former Kingdom of Uruk. Even now, a considerable number of humans on this land should be descendants of the Uruk people.

They are the descendants of the people led by Gilgamesh!

When he thought of this, Gilgamesh's expression became even colder.

"What did you say? The monster appeared?" About half a day later, in a small hotel in the closed city of Taixi, Tony looked at the intelligence officer kneeling in front of him, and his expression subconsciously became panicked.

Tiamat began to give birth, which basically meant that the war between humans and "beasts" had begun!

"...Send a message to Bruce, order the troops to stay on the spot and be prepared for the monster attack. Order the other two groups of troops to stay on the spot and be prepared. Now our opponent is no longer the Parthian Empire, but the disaster beasts that are rejected by others. Under such circumstances, we humans... don't need to fight among ourselves. Well, when the time comes, let the imperial officials raise such a banner, that there is no need for internal fighting, and then... you, come with me to the Persian Gulf." After a two-second silence to steady his mind, Tony spoke slowly with a serious face.

PS: Because I have to go out to try out COS costumes and props tomorrow, the update may be late.

Chapter 534: Big sister is finally here!

Tony didn't make his words clear because he knew that the smart people in the Roman Senate would understand what he meant.

When the monster army attacked, the Parthian Empire had to divide its troops to deal with these monsters. However, unlike the Roman Empire, the strategic goal of the Roman Empire was to make the Parthian Empire cede territory and pay compensation. This war was just a means for the Roman Empire to achieve its own goals. In other words, war is just a continuation of politics.

But Tiamat is different.

Tiamat's goal is to destroy the world. Its goal is to destroy all living things in the entire Parthian Empire. Therefore, some Parthian nobles can reach a PY deal with the Roman Empire in exchange for what they want, but with Tiamat... Sorry, Tiamat refuses to communicate with you.

So Tony's idea was simple.

On the one hand, he let the Roman Senate announce that they would temporarily give up attacking the Parthian Empire because of the invasion of Tiamat, so that the Parthian Empire could devote itself to this war of humanity and thus gain a good reputation of not adding insult to injury. On the other hand, the Roman Empire could also take this opportunity to recuperate and let Tiamat's army of monsters consume the Parthian Empire's army as much as possible. After Tiamat was eliminated, the Roman Empire could reap the benefits.

If we say that when the Roman Empire invaded the Parthian Empire there were still many Parthian nobles who colluded with foreign enemies and reached a series of deals with the Roman Empire, then the invasion of Tiamat was a typical case of common hatred of the enemy!

"Hmph, these guys." On the throne, after all the noble kings left, the King of Kings Vologases I sighed tiredly. Everything... was in his plan.

Vologases I was the ruler of the Parthian Empire and also the patriarch of the Arsaces family. If necessary, he would definitely choose to preserve his family rather than the empire.

Of course he knew about the coming of Tiamat, and he even knew that Tiamat would summon monsters to destroy the Parthian Empire. However, he still acquiesced to Archimedes' actions. The reason was simple. He needed the entire Parthian Empire to devote itself to the war rather than engage in internal consumption.

As for the Warcraft... I'm sorry, if someone takes a map and marks it, he will find that the areas invaded by the Warcraft "happen" to be the control areas of the most aggressive families in the Parthian Empire.

That's right, Vologases I not only intended to force these families to be on the same side with him, he was even trying to weaken the strength of these families.

……

"Tiamat has awakened." After killing a lone monster, Archimedes waved his hands, a strange arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, he looked towards the direction of the Persian Gulf and muttered to himself.

The Predator Planet wants to destroy all life on Earth, Goetia wants to exterminate humanity, and the Alien God wants to destroy this Lostbelt and make it his own source of nutrition... In the FATE worldview, all the big and small bosses are eyeing this Lostbelt, and he, Archimedes, can get what he wants from it.

Just as Archimedes was thinking about his next move, on the other side.

Today, the Roman legion camp located in the Mesopotamian region welcomed a person Bruce never wanted to see.

"Your Majesty." After learning that Nero descended from the sky riding a griffin, the commander of the Royal Guards Bruce hurriedly brought a group of senior generals to the gate of the military camp, bowed deeply to Nero, and spoke with his head lowered.

"Hmph." Nero snorted lightly, as if he didn't see Bruce. He just walked straight past him without saying a word.

Finished!

Seeing Nero's reaction, Bruce could tell with his big toe that His Majesty was angry, and... he was quite angry!

After thinking about it for a while, Bruce could understand that Nero sent Tony to the front line to gain experience instead of risking his life. But now, Tony has rushed to the forefront, which means that his life will definitely be threatened to a certain extent.

So now, it is a foregone conclusion that Tony will be beaten, and correspondingly, Bruce, as Tony's deputy general, did not take good care of Tony, so...can Nero give him a good face?

If Tony should be held primarily responsible for his injury this time because of his recklessness, then Bruce should be held secondarily responsible!

To be honest, if Bruce wasn't Nero's teacher, Nero would have sent someone to kill Bruce by now, right?

Looking at Nero's receding back, Bruce shook his head helplessly, waved to the group of senior generals, lowered his head and followed Nero towards the central military tent.

Sitting in the first seat, Nero first glanced casually at the documents on the table in front of him, then looked up at Bruce who was standing in front of him in an orderly manner, and said in a cold voice: "Dear Mr. Bruce Yu, do you know where my brother is now?"

"Your Majesty, His Highness is now... in Ctesiphon." Seeing a flash of cold light in Nero's eyes, Bruce lowered his head and answered with gritted teeth.

"Ctesiphon, in the Parthian Empire, what kind of city is Ctesiphon?" Nero stared at Bruce, his face still very cold.

"Your Majesty, Ctesiphon... was the capital of the Parthian Empire for decades, a rare military fortress, and also the base camp of the western border garrison this time... It is a very dangerous place." Bruce quietly raised his eyes to glance at Nero and quickly replied.

"You knew it was dangerous there, so why did you dare to let your brother go to Ctesiphon?!" With a "bang", Nero slammed the table, stood up with an angry face, pointed at Bruce, and said angrily: "How old is your brother?! As a teacher, a senior general of the Roman Empire, and an elder, he doesn't know the danger, don't you know it too?! How dare you let him take the risk alone?!"

...How can I stop him if he wants to die?

Bruce cried out in his heart that he felt wronged. If Tony was in the military camp at that time, Bruce would have forced Tony to be placed under house arrest in the camp even at the risk of committing treason. After all, although the camp was dangerous and a target of concentrated fire from the enemy, there were still 20,000 soldiers here, including 10,000 of the most elite guards of the Roman Empire. Not to mention whether they could counterattack and kill the enemy, at least this guard had enough strength to protect Tony and allow him to retreat to a safe place.

However, after our Royal Highness the Prince came back from Rome, he never went towards the camp at all. He even made a detour and bypassed the camp, and went straight to Ctesiphon with two heroes and two demigods. Even if Bruce wanted to commit rebellion, he didn't have the chance. Don't you think this is unfair?

Chapter 535: The War of Gods Begins!

Nero has always been a headache for Tony.

Nero once asked Rosa about Tony. Rosa explained that Tony had the rebellious mentality of a naughty child. He was full of curiosity about the world, admired heroes, and hoped to make a name for himself.

To put it simply, if you don't fight for three days, the roof will fall off.

In this case, you can't just lock him up and not let him out. After all, you can't just tie him up, right? And Nero wouldn't do that!

So Nero was very troubled.

The previous few times were not so bad. Although dangerous, they were just dangerous overall. But this time, Tony's alone entry into the enemy camp was already a headache for Nero. However, what was unexpected and even more troublesome was that Tiamat was resurrected!

Nero, who learned of Tiamat's resurrection and its consequences on the way, immediately asked the Magic Association in Rome, which had not yet moved to Londinium, to provide a fantasy species.

The Magic Association, which had to rely on Rome for its survival at this moment, was not vague. After determining Nero's location, they actually released a griffin.

As long as it is not too difficult, the Magic Association will do its best to satisfy the Roman Empire and the Claudius family. On the one hand, they have to rely on the Roman Empire to survive, and on the other hand, it can be regarded as returning a favor. After all, the secret of Londinium has helped them a lot.

It was for this reason that Nero was able to arrive at the front-line camp in a very short time.

"Do you know how dangerous Ctesiphon is now?" Nero took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and asked Bruce.

"I...know." Bruce gritted his teeth and continued to answer bravely.

He knew better than Nero how dangerous Ctesiphon was at the moment.

Ctesiphon, the former capital of the Parthian Empire, is the largest military fortress in the western part of the Parthian Empire and the base camp of the western garrison of the Parthian Empire. It concentrates more than 100,000 troops. These 100,000 troops are already a very deadly threat to His Royal Highness. What's more, there is also Tiamat, the former Mesopotamian creator god who can produce countless magical beasts. Its magical beast army is even more powerful!

It can be said that His Royal Highness is in double danger at this moment. Even if he has a demigod with extremely powerful combat power by his side, he may not be able to protect His Royal Highness's life!

Seeing Bruce lowering his head and not daring to say anything, Nero would have kicked him away if he hadn't considered him as his teacher.

Think about it, who is Bruce?

In public, he was the highest commander of the Roman Empire's Praetorian Guard and the deputy general of the Roman Empire's Mesopotamian Front, and the true commander of these 20,000 troops; in private, he was Nero's teacher and Tony's teacher. Although there is no such saying in the West that a master and apprentice are like a father and son, after Claudius and Agrippina the Younger died, Bruce and Seneca, to some extent, could be regarded as half-elders of Nero and Tony.

In other words, whether for public or private reasons, Bruce should bring Tony to the camp!

And now Tony is in Ctesiphon, and Bruce can't do anything about it.

As for why Tony was in Ctesiphon, Nero certainly understood.

After getting engaged to his younger brother, Nero got a general idea of ​​Tony's plan from his younger brother and Rosa.

What he wanted was a peaceful world. Only in such a world could he and Nero live peacefully.

So internally, he put down the rebellion in the eastern part of the Roman Empire, put down the Boudica Rebellion, and allowed the Claudians to establish absolute rule over the British province. At the same time, he forced Vendice to rebel and divided the Senate, intending to train the Senate into a political machine that only listened to the Claudians and shared the work with Nero.

Externally, he launched two expeditions to the Parthian Empire in order to completely destroy the Parthian Empire in exchange for decades of peace on the eastern border. At the same time, he occupied the Mesopotamian region to increase grain production in the Roman Empire to stabilize the people's hearts.

The world belongs to him who wins the hearts of the people.

If the empire is peaceful and prosperous, no noble or commander of the imperial guards would dare to risk the world's condemnation and rebel. Even if such a noble succeeds in his rebellion, the people will not buy into it.

Even Nero in the previous life's world still had Vespasian, after his death, to quell the civil strife among the four emperors under his banner, let alone this world.

So Tony’s idea is not too simple. He wants to build a strong Roman Empire and form an obedient Senate. The rest is for him and his sister to live... that kind of life.

It was for this reason that he would do it himself, and even bring two heroes and two demigods into Ctesiphon to serve as internal support for the 20,000 Roman legions.

Nero sighed somewhat dejectedly. She knew that it was useless to vent her anger on her teacher at this time. Helplessly, she could only sit back on the chair. After a long silence, she slowly gave an order: "Pass the order down, order the intelligence personnel in Taixifeng to tell my brother to come back now. If he comes back on his own initiative, I won't beat him. But if he doesn't come back, then..."

Although Nero didn't finish his words, Bruce, who was standing in front of Nero, couldn't help but swallow subconsciously and mourned for the little prince.

His sister, I'm afraid she won't spank him with her hands this time. Maybe this time she'll have to use something more handy!

However, half a day later, the news sent back from Ctesiphon made Nero almost jump up from his chair.

At this moment, our little prince is not in Taixifeng City! He left the city yesterday and went to the Persian Gulf!

"This kid actually ran to the Persian Gulf?" After taking the letter from his subordinates and taking a closer look at it, Rosa frowned subconsciously. This guy... does he take himself too seriously?

Did he really think that he could deal with Tiamat with just the demigods and heroic spirits under his command and a few guards under Shen Xiaofan?

"I hope... this kid has some talent in running away." Standing on the city wall and looking towards the southwest, Rosa shook his head and muttered to himself.

At this moment, in the city of Ctesiphon, Tiridates did not know that on this chessboard, he, who was originally the protagonist, has now become an insignificant passerby. After all, now, this so-called war between the Roman Empire and the Parthian Empire is no longer a war between mortals. When Tiamat appears, it means that this war is a war between gods!

It is a war of gods in the true sense!

PS1: Thanks to "old uncle" for the tip of one blade ~ Thanks to "Mobai_du" for the tip of two blades ~ Thanks to "unclear future" for the tip of one blade ~ Thank you ~

PS2: Let me thank you all first. Actually, I wanted to thank you all a long time ago. On the one hand, because of my own outline and plot control problems, the middle and late stages of this book seem a bit boring. There are not as many flirtatious words as before, and it is not as interesting as before. This problem... well, I will explain it in detail when it is finished. On the other hand, due to the pressure of life, my update volume in the past two months is only half of the previous one, or even less than half. But fortunately, such days are coming to an end. If nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to start writing two chapters steadily in late October. Well, by then, this book... should not have an ending. As for the new book... ahem, I'll keep writing it. When this book is finished, or is about to be finished, the new book will also be uploaded seamlessly~ That's all for now~

Thank you everyone ~

Chapter 536: God's Conference

Nero is feeling very complicated right now.

On the one hand, she is very worried about the safety of her silly brother, and on the other hand, she is also very angry. As for the reason for her anger... it is very simple. The reason why her brother may be in danger now is because he is asking for trouble!

But no matter what, it is still relatively safe within the closed city of Taixi.

Nero also learned from Bruce that Tony had been active only in the west of the city after entering Ctesiphon, and his activity range was so small that it was basically controlled within one block. There were many civilians in this block. Generally speaking, Tiridates would not come to this block, and even if he went out of the city, he would not pass by here.

In this way, Tony managed to avoid being exposed to the greatest extent possible. After all, not many people had seen him, and among these people, even fewer could remember his appearance.

And Ctesiphon is the largest military fortress in the western part of the Parthian Empire, with very complete city defense facilities. If Tiamat's army of monsters chooses to attack this city, then... it will be difficult to take it down. In other words, Tony is much safer in the city of Ctesiphon than in the camp.

Well, if you look at it from the perspective of Tiamat as the opponent.

But now, Tony has slipped away, out of town to the Persian Gulf to challenge Tiamat.

What's the difference between this and committing suicide?!

After learning the news, if Bruce and others had not tried their best to stop him, Nero would probably have ridden on the griffin to chase Tony.

"This monster... isn't as strong as expected." On the other side, on a road east of Ctesiphon, Tony found a branch and gently poked the monster's corpse that had been split in half and was still twitching on the ground, and said with a frown.

As a lunar man, Tony certainly knew that Heroic Spirits were stronger than Servants, and that Magical Beasts couldn't even beat Servants, let alone Heroic Spirits. Using Heroic Spirits to fight Magical Beasts was simply an overkill, but...wasn't the Magical Beast's combat power too weak? In the previous battle, there were dozens of Magical Beasts, and their opponent was only Hercules. Then Tony saw that in a few seconds, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, these dozens of Magical Beasts were easily dealt with by Hercules.

It's like killing a kid with one punch.

"This monster... is not very weak." Hearing Tony's muttering, Ta Miao came to Tony's side and looked at the half-dead monster carefully. "Although it seems that Hercules can kill a monster with one blow, if it is another person or beast, Hercules only needs one punch to blow up the monster. However... look at these corpses. Those killed by Hercules' fists only have a hole left on their bodies at most. So in terms of the ability to withstand blows, the monster... is very strong."

"Emmmm, okay." Tony shrugged and said undeniably.

Compared with the heroes, this group of monsters is not enough, but if compared with ordinary people, then... just these dozens of monsters are probably enough to defeat a fully-strength Roman legion.

"By the way, Sister Ata, where are the reinforcements on your side now?" Tony threw away the wooden stick in his hand, stood up and took a look at the other monster corpses next to him.
