My XX deal with Sister Nero

This is why the Heaven's Chain's control over Nero is very limited.

At the same moment when Jingu turned around, the palace had already taken shape. With the last words, Nero swept the sword across, sweeping towards Jingu's waist at a speed almost invisible to the naked eye!

With a "puff" sound, Jin Gu, who was unable to dodge, was hit in the left abdomen by the sword, and blood spilled all over the ground.

"Ah...you guys are really good. You actually managed to hurt me." Jin Gu touched the wound on his waist, then fell to the ground and looked up at Nero with a gloomy expression.

Looking at Jin Gu's expression, it was not difficult for Tony to guess that he was a little angry now. In order to protect his sister, Tony subconsciously held the sword in front of his sister.

"Brother..." Nero was moved and worried when he saw Tony standing in front of him, intending to protect him with his thin body. After all, his brother didn't have a treasure, and if they really fought, he wouldn't be able to beat King Kong, let alone himself.

Just when Jingu was about to attack Nero and his sister, several mountain giants four or five meters tall suddenly appeared behind him, holding wooden sticks made of trees. They raised the sticks in their hands and smashed them directly on the back of Jingu's head.

"Hmph! Is all you can do about sneak attacks?" With a cold snort, Jin Gu turned around quickly and controlled the Sky Chain to quickly fix these mountain giants here.

"It's now!"

While King Kong was dealing with the mountain giant, Tony pulled his sister back and turned to speak loudly to the Greek gods who were fighting the monsters.

"The arrow of complaint!"

"The Moon Goddess's love arrow, Love Arrow!"

"Twelve Glories, Sixth Trial o Strange Bird Arrow!"

As the voice was spoken, a rain of arrows suddenly fell from the sky. At the same time, several bronze arrows and an arrow formed purely of magic power flew towards Jingu at a very tricky angle, blocking all his escape routes!

"Haha, hahahaha!" Jin Gu looked at the arrows attacking him, and calmly waved the Heavenly Chain in his hand, knocking all the arrows away.

"It's not over yet!"

Under the control of several princes, the mountain giants they summoned threw the wooden sticks in their hands and smashed them at Jingu.

These arrows are divine, so Jingu can quickly use the Heavenly Chain to shoot them away, but these mountain giants are summoned by the princes, and the wooden sticks in their hands... do not have any divinity.

Faced with these huge wooden sticks, Jin Gu had no choice but to retreat.

"Keep going!" On the city wall, Elector Lily leaped up, and after using a sneak attack to blow up Ushmugal's head with a punch, he took the opportunity to support his companions with two princes and surrounded and killed Lahm!

"Very good!" After taking a quick look at the scene, Tony clenched his fists excitedly and muttered.

The Dragon Tooth Soldiers were completely wiped out, most of the mixed forces composed of monsters and wild beasts had been killed by the Greek gods, and Ushmugar, one of the children of Tiamat, had also been killed. So far, the situation of the war was turning in their favor.

Tony could see the changes on the battlefield, and Jin Gu could see them too. He dodged the thrown sticks and rolled on the ground, shouting to Lahmu, "Go!"

The plan to surround and kill Tony has failed. The fighting power of those guards exceeded Jin Gu's expectations. If they don't retreat at this moment, it will be Jin Gu and his men who will be left on this land forever.

"Ah!" Lachem roared, waving his weapon wildly to force back the Lily Elector who was surrounding him. When he was about to withdraw, Longinus, who had already come down from the city wall and was lurking in the dark, unfolded his treasure again!

"Spear of Longinus!" Along with a low voice, Longinus stabbed Lachem in the back of the heart with a spear!

"Ah!!!" After suffering a fatal blow, Lachem subconsciously tightened the giant axe in his hand and swept Longinus with a backhand axe.

Faced with this powerful blow, Longinus had no choice but to drop the weapon in his hand and retreat. Seeing that Longinus was forced back, Lachem did not dare to stay and continued to run forward desperately.

"Just stay!" At this moment, Elector Lily gave a delicate shout, and the two princes quickly stepped forward and bowed, slashing at Rahm's knee!

With a "thump", Lahem, whose legs were attacked, fell to the ground instantly, and was beheaded by the sword of the Lily Elector who caught up with him.

……

"I didn't expect that Jin Gu would get away." Tony wiped the sweat from his forehead, glanced at the corpses of monsters on the ground and sighed.

The combat power of three god-level warriors and eight demigod-level warriors, when put together, is enough to reach Isfahan and destroy the Parthian Empire. Unexpectedly, so many people were unable to leave behind the Jingu.

"It's pretty good. At least we killed Ushmugal and Lahm." Nero touched Tony's head and comforted him.

"That's right." Tony nodded. Tiamat had eleven sons, and the strongest among them was Kingo. If he didn't have some skills, would he be called the strongest?

"First... let's deal with the monster corpses here, then we'll go into the city to rest for a while, and then set off tomorrow to the Persian Gulf." Tony clapped his hands, forced himself to cheer up, and spoke to the already tired crowd.

……

"This guy actually repelled Jingu?" On the Siberian steppe, Rosa casually kicked the body of the Killing Hunter lying at his feet, looking at the text message in his hand with a strange tone.

When Tony led his men to the Persian Gulf with great fanfare, Rosa guessed that Jingu would definitely take action, so he specially entrusted a guy to find help for Tony. As a result, before the help arrived, Tony managed to repel Jingu and kill Lahmugar. It was quite good and beyond his expectations.

PS: I was watching my mom’s live broadcast and writing this article on the light rail... I’m dead, it’s all my mom’s fault!

Chapter 563 Tony's Secret Weapon

"After repelling the army of demons led by Kingu, Tony's next step should be to enter the Persian Gulf and fight Tiamat."

Taking advantage of the rare rest time after the battle, Rosa found a branch and drew a simple map of the Persian Gulf on the ground, muttering: "According to their speed, when they reach the shore of the Persian Gulf, Tiamat will be ready to go ashore... Fortunately, I don't need to prepare any ships. On land, Tony and the others should be able to exert their greatest combat power."

At this point, Rosa suddenly whistled, looked at the young woman who had been standing next to him, and said, "Xiao Lulu, do you think Tony and the others can defeat Tiamat?"

"Your Majesty... Master, I don't know much about this world, but according to your description, Tiamat is the mother goddess in Mesopotamian mythology, and is the being who gave birth to many gods. I think... that little guy named Tony, even with the help of His Highness the Elector Lily, it should be very difficult for him to defeat Tiamat, right?" The woman called Xiao Lulu knelt beside Rosa and said softly.

"Yeah, it's very difficult, so I asked that guy to get reinforcements to help... Unfortunately, these reinforcements can only be Servants, not Heroic Spirits." Rosa shook his head. It is an indisputable fact that Heroic Spirits are stronger than Servants, but even if they are Heroic Spirits, all Tony has are three gods. Can three gods defeat Tiamat?

And in this world, besides Tiamat, there are many enemies!

Can he... handle it? Or should he go back and ask the institute to prepare some cheats for him? Or should he transfer those more capable companions to serve as thugs to protect Tony?

...Forget it, let's see if he can defeat Tiamat first. Even if he can't defeat Tiamat, at least under the protection of the Elector Lily, he and Nero can escape unscathed...it should be no problem.

……

"Are you sure you can catch up?" Nero asked Tony with some concern in the small town.

"What I'm worried about is not whether we can catch up, but the power. Can this battleship cause damage to Tiamat?" Tony frowned, tapped the table lightly with his left index finger, and muttered.

As mentioned earlier, when Tony discovered saltpeter in Britain, he decided to make gunpowder. However, there were not many natural saltpeter mines in Europe. Currently, saltpeter mines in the world are generally concentrated in Chile in South America and China and India in Asia.

So at this time, Tony planned to organize an ocean-going fleet of sufficient size to go to India, either for trade or... to establish an Indian colony.

That was why, more than a year ago, Tony asked Nero to mobilize the shipyards along the Red Sea coast of Egypt to build various large ships. He planned to form a large-scale naval fleet to ensure the safety of his maritime trade.

Then...the Roman Empire went to war with the Parthian Empire.

At this time, the Roman Empire's Red Sea Navy had not yet been fully established, so the Roman Empire had to join forces with the Kingdom of Sheba and use their warships to transport its soldiers.

Now, more than a year later, the Red Sea Fleet has begun to take shape.

In addition to the traditional Corvus-type battleship, Tony also produced an improved version of the Corvus-type battleship. The traditional Corvus-type battleship basically fights boarding battles. The Romans would install a drawbridge on the bow of the ship, and lower the drawbridge when the Roman warship approached the enemy ship, making it convenient for the infantry on board to step onto the enemy ship and fight the enemy in close combat.

Tony comes from the modern era, so his thinking is also completely modern. Not to mention installing various ballistic missiles and anti-ship missiles on warships, you have to at least prepare some long-range weapons, right?

What about the ballista? What about the trebuchet?

After asking a captain, Tony finally understood the problem.

It's not that the Roman Navy had not thought about installing ballistas and trebuchets on their ships, but the accuracy of trebuchets in that era was too random, and was only slightly better than the human-powered catapult invented by Tony. This kind of catapult is okay for siege, but using it to smash ships... it's a waste of stones.

Moreover, the bigger the catapult is, the more powerful it is. If you want to sink a warship, you need a lot of stones.

Therefore, for a warship, equipping it with a catapult is really useless.

As for the crossbow... Although the Roman Empire's crossbow was accurate enough, its power was too small. It was okay to use it to hit people, but to hit ships... forget it.

The weapons were useless and coupled with the limitations of the times, the main means of warfare in this era was still traditional boarding warfare.

Now that we know where the problems lie, can't we just solve them?

Tony's solution was simple. Since the Roman Empire's scorpion crossbow was not powerful enough, why not replace it with a powerful enough crossbow? Tony happened to have developed a new weapon, the city-breaking crossbow. If I put this thing on a ship, I don't believe it can't destroy a wooden ship!

Anyway, the tonnage of ships in this era is not large, only a few hundred tons. The new Raven-type battleship should be able to destroy an enemy battleship, right?

However, what he did not expect was that his enemies were not just the Parthian Empire.

After Cefalu retreated, Tony realized that the current manpower and weapons and equipment of the Roman Empire were not enough to deal with such an out-of-specification enemy. In order to protect the Roman Empire, Tony and Rosa reached an agreement. Rosa's research institute would provide the technology, Tony's firearms manufacturing bureau would provide the weapons and equipment, and the Roman Empire would gather the shipyards of the entire Egyptian province to build a new warship that would transcend time and space for the Roman Empire.

A 5,000-ton sailing battleship!

This was the limit of what the Romans could control.

About half a month ago, this sailing battleship that Tony had high hopes for was finally completed and enough sailors were recruited. He thought that without Cefalu, this battleship could be fully deployed in the war against Parthia. Unexpectedly, there was an extra Tiamat in the Persian Gulf, which was very annoying.

But Tiamat... you can't ignore it.

Tony was quite straightforward. After confirming the appearance of Tiamat, he wrote a letter to the Kingdom of Sassanid and the Kingdom of Sheba in the name of the Prince of the Roman Empire, asking these two countries to send navies to cooperate with the Red Sea Navy of the Roman Empire to encircle and suppress Tiamat!

So what Tony was worried about was not whether the joint fleet of the three countries could reach the Persian Gulf on time, but whether his sailing battleship could cause a certain degree of damage to Tiamat!

Chapter 564: Rub My Sister's Back

"The residents of this small town...are pretty miserable, right?" Just as Tony was sitting at the table thinking, Nero, who was standing beside him, suddenly spoke with a somewhat inexplicable tone.

"Ah? Ah... yes." Tony, whose thoughts were interrupted by his sister, first raised his head in confusion, then nodded.

This city of the Parthian Empire... is really miserable.

Tony and his friends searched everywhere when they first entered the city and found that there was no one in the city except for a large amount of blood, not even a dead person. This meant that the people in the city either ran away before the monsters arrived, or... they were eaten by the monsters, and they didn't even spit out bones.

Come to think of it...it should be the latter?

When Warcraft comes, the young and middle-aged people in the city may run away, but there must be many old, weak, sick and disabled people in the city, and there must be many people who are unwilling to leave. Some people must think that there are relatively tall walls here that can resist the attacks of Warcraft, but they don’t know that they are facing the children of Tiamat, the top existence among Warcraft.

In order to surround and kill Tony, Jin Gu obviously regarded this place as a temporary camp. As for the humans and livestock in the city... they naturally became food for the monsters.

Although there were no living people or animals, fortunately the city was large enough. It seemed that this small city should have had several thousand residents, and each of these residents had more or less food rations at home. Putting all these rations together... it was enough for Tony and his group to eat for a few days.

As for meat, that is easier to solve.

On the battlefield outside the city, in addition to the corpses of monsters, there are also the corpses of wild beasts. Among these wild beasts, there are many herbivorous beasts, such as cows, sheep, etc., and these wild beasts... aren’t they the best meat food?

After collecting all the food, Tony generously divided out several houses for everyone to live in, allowing everyone to rest in the city for two days. After all, after a great battle, everyone was injured and tired, and needed to recover their strength and spirit.

Then... according to the arrangement, Nero's residence should be next door to the house where Tony lives.

"Speaking of which, sister, don't you want to take a rest?" Tony suddenly said, glancing at the sky outside the window.

After fighting for most of the day and collecting intelligence and food in the city after entering, it was almost dark when they finished and had dinner. In addition, Tony sat here thinking about his mother's matter for a long time... At this moment, it was already pitch black outside, and it was almost time to go to bed.

"Ah..." Hearing her brother's order to leave, Nero immediately put on an aggrieved expression, looked out the window, and said to her brother: "Brother, you know, I'm afraid of the dark..."

???

I'm afraid of the dark, you big-headed ghost!

When they were in Rome before, Nero once used the excuse that he was afraid of the dark to hold Tony in his arms and sleep with him. Now you are saying that you are afraid of the dark too. Are you kidding me?!

"Sister is really afraid of the dark. And while you were thinking just now, sister checked for you. This family's bed is big enough for two people to sleep in the same bed at the same time." Nero looked at Tony with a face full of grievance, lowered his head, and muttered like a little wife.

Hey, hey, hey! You're exposed, sister! You're not afraid of the dark, you just want to sleep in the same bed with me!

"Hiss~ Huh~" Tony took a deep breath, scratched his head, and said to Nero: "Sister, I'm actually quite tired after fighting such a battle today, so..."

Although he didn't finish his words, Tony thought he had made his point clear. Just as he said, he was indeed very tired after the battle and wanted to have a good rest, so...if Nero came to sleep in the same bed with him at this time, would he be able to fall asleep?

What the hell! How could he sleep when he was suppressing the gun the whole time?

"So, brother wants to rest early?" Nero, who had obviously misunderstood what he meant, looked at his brother excitedly with a light tone.

"...I really want to rest early." Looking at his sister's excited expression, Tony took a deep breath. God knows whether his sister misunderstood on purpose!

"Hmm." Nero nodded. "Although this is not Rome and there are no bathhouses for you to take a bath and relax, but if you are willing, I can go to the well in the yard to get some water for you to take a bath."

?

What the hell?

"...I think it's better for my sister to wash first." Although I don't know what my sister is up to, but...to be safe, I'd better let my sister wash first.

"Okay." Nero had no objection to Tony asking her to wash first. She walked into the yard, lifted the lid on the well, drew two buckets of water and poured them into an unused pot, then lit the firewood in the pot and started to boil water.

Although the Parthian Empire was a Hellenized country, it maintained Persian and Eastern traditions in some living habits. For example, some of the large courtyards had their own wells. For example, for bathing, the Parthians were not as keen on going to the bathhouse to scrub their bodies as the Romans were.

After adjusting the water temperature, he dragged out a large wooden basin from the corner, poured some water into it for rinsing, and then poured the boiled hot water in. Then Nero closed the door and the window, and began to take off his clothes in front of Tony.

Eh? !

Seeing his sister unbuttoning her clothes, Tony subconsciously took a step back: "Well, sister, take your time washing, I'm going to go out first."

"Wait!"

Just as Tony was about to turn around and leave, Nero took a towel that looked clean from the shelf next to him, rubbed it vigorously with the remaining hot water in the pot, and handed it to Tony: "Be good, help me rub my back, I can't reach it."

!!!

I damn suspect that you are making things difficult for me, Fat Tiger!

Rub your sister's back?
