My XX deal with Sister Nero

"Granddaughter of King Herod the Great? Are you referring to Salome?" Martha thought for a moment and said, "If Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Kingdom of Herod refers to Salome... this is possible."

Salome? This name sounds familiar!

Tony thought for a long time, then suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "I remember! Salome! Rosa told me about this name. She is also a heroic spirit!"

"Heroic spirit?" Martha raised her eyebrows. Now... it is still not certain whether Salome is a heroic spirit or a living person. If she is a human, then it is easy to say, but if she is a heroic spirit, then this matter may be a little troublesome.

"Okay, I'll keep an eye on Salome for you." Martha shrugged. She was a Christian saint and held a special position in Christianity. In this rebellion, she was also a core member, so if she really wanted to find out some information about the rebels, it would be easy and pleasant.

"Well...thank you, sister!" Tony smiled broadly at Martha and said happily.

The reason why Martha is recognized as a saint seems to be that she is indeed extraordinary. At least her vision is no longer limited to Christianity. Her horizon has jumped out of the scope of religion. She... may be able to become the new savior!

Chapter 595: How about giving yourself to your sister as a gift?

After saying goodbye to Martha and returning to the city, Tony originally wanted to head straight for Jerusalem, but after thinking carefully, he realized that the rebellion had already broken out, and removing Governor Florus from his position at this time would not help the rebellion. The rebels would not give up the rebellion because of this, and removing Florus at this time would only leave the Jewish province leaderless and without a unified command system.

And now, Tony’s top priority is to issue a new policy on behalf of the imperial government to exempt all residents in Caesarea from taxes for one year. At the same time, Tony also began to dispatch troops to villages and towns outside Caesarea.

Although the food in the city is sufficient for the daily needs of the 25th Legion, it is foreseeable that Tony will definitely withdraw frontline troops to the Jewish province to quell the rebellion in the future. By then... the food in Caesarea may not be enough.

Without affecting the lives of ordinary people, after Tony collected grain from various small towns, he quickly sent out spies to find out the situation in the entire Jewish province.

……

The rebellion in Caesarea shocked the entire province of Judea.

When Florus learned that His Royal Highness the Prince had set out from Rome for the Jewish province, he had already guessed that His Royal Highness the Prince was coming for him and his purpose was to depose him.

So he began to transfer his property frantically before Tony arrived. This way, no matter whether he was promoted or demoted and transferred back to Rome to work in some low-paying government office, or was directly demoted to a commoner and no longer held any public office, the property in his hands would be enough to support him for the rest of his life.

Then, Caesarea rebelled.

On the second day after His Royal Highness arrived in Caesarea, a rebellion broke out in the city. The rebels once gathered 50,000 to 60,000 people. Although they were eventually defeated by the 25th Legion, this rebellion made Florus understand one thing.

He was safe for now.

Even if His Royal Highness wanted to dismiss Florus at this time, the people around His Royal Highness would dissuade him, and at least he would have to wait until the rebellion was quelled before dismissing Florus.

Florus only needs to make achievements during this period of time and bribe the little prince. Even if he cannot stay in the Jewish province in the end, in consideration of the gift, the prince should arrange a slightly better new position for him in Rome, right?

So at this time, Florus began to recruit and train troops, ready to quell the rebellion at any time.

"Your Highness, news has come from Rome that His Majesty seems to have withdrawn 50,000 troops from the front line to station in the Jewish province, led by General Vespasianus, to assist Your Highness in quelling the rebellion." In the study, Mary stood beside Tony and bent over.

"Huh? My sister's order?" Tony was stunned at first, then subconsciously touched his butt.

My sister sent Vespasian here, which means that she already knew about the rebellion in the Jewish province. And I am in the Jewish province now. According to my sister's personality... I am afraid that I will be beaten again when I go back.

"Sister Mary..." Tony couldn't help but look at Mary pitifully when he thought that his elder sister might beat him when he returned. "Sister Mary... Tell me, will my elder sister spank me when I return?"

"Uh... Your Highness." She glanced at Tony awkwardly. How could Mary know this? But considering His Majesty's love for Your Highness, it should be... possible... perhaps... probably... right?

His Majesty likes Your Highness, and can even be said to dote on Your Highness. If Your Highness said today that he wanted to walk sideways on the streets of Rome like a crab, His Majesty would probably just send people to clear a path for Your Highness to do so, and then let the citizens stand by and applaud Your Highness.

However, once it comes to certain issues of principle, His Majesty will not show any mercy. For example, when certain actions of Your Highness threaten His Highness's own safety, His Majesty... will really spank Your Highness!

But this... seems like I can't say it?

Seeing the aggrieved expression on the prince's face, Mary thought for a moment, and finally just coughed lightly, trying to comfort him in a very gentle tone: "Your Highness, His Majesty likes you very much, and he is worried about your safety, so as long as you don't take the initiative to go to dangerous places, His Majesty should not blame you too much... Your Highness, tell me, did you take the initiative to take risks this time?"

"No." Tony shook his head decisively.

Although he learned from Martha that the Jews were about to rebel and came to the Jewish province to stop the rebellion first, it was obvious that he failed.

So is he taking the risk? Of course not!!!

"Since you didn't take the initiative to put yourself in danger, His Majesty will be concerned about your safety, but His Majesty shouldn't scold you, right? After all, this is not your fault, it's Governor Florus' fault, and when the time comes, Your Majesty only needs to prepare some gifts for His Majesty, and His Majesty should be so happy that he will forget to scold you."

"Gift?" Tony touched his chin thoughtfully after hearing Mary's suggestion. As for gifts...my sister seemed to have spent her birthday at the front line last year, right? How about...giving her a birthday present?

But the question is, what is the better gift?

The one my sister likes... should be me? Then I can't give myself away as a gift, right?

Ouch! This is kind of hentai!

"Ahem... Let's talk about the gift later. Let's talk about business first. According to intelligence, after the uprising in Caesarea, people in various parts of the Jewish province were unstable, and there were signals of war everywhere... Where is Florus? What is he doing now?" Tony glanced at the map in front of him and tapped the table with his fingers.

"Your Highness, according to intelligence, because the Empire needs to digest the newly occupied Babylonia region, the National Army of the Jewish Province did not withdraw to the Jewish Province. They are now temporarily stationed in Babylonia. Therefore, there are not many troops in the Jewish Province at present. Florus also took this into consideration and is now actively recruiting troops for war."

"Prepare for war?" Tony shook his head seriously after hearing Mary's answer.

In order to conquer the Parthian Empire, the Roman Empire withdrew most of its field armies and national troops. The Jewish province even withdrew all of its national troops to support the front line. The most direct result of this was that there was almost no soldier in the Jewish province.

So if Florus wanted to fight the rebels, he had to recruit new troops, and these so-called "troops" were nothing more than some hastily trained citizens.

"Forget it. Now is not the time to talk about this. I just hope that Florus won't hold me back when the time comes."

Chapter 596: Be good, pat your head

Just as Florus guessed, Tony would not take action against Florus as long as the rebellion was not over, so when he received Tony's letter asking him to hurry up and reorganize the army, Florus finally breathed a sigh of relief.

His life was saved temporarily.

"How many people did the Earth Gate send out this time?" Tony stretched and asked Mary in the residence of the chief executive of Caesarea.

"Your Highness, the Earth Gate has dispatched three Heavenly Guardians, all eight guards, and more than a hundred monk soldiers. This is most of the troops that the Hall of Light can mobilize. After all... the Earth Gate does not have many troops at the moment." Mary replied.

"That's right." Tony nodded. Although there was secret help from the imperial officials, the foundation of the Earth Gate was still too weak and there were not many believers. They simply could not gather too many monks to help them. The more than one hundred people they could gather was probably the limit.

After taking a closer look at Mary, Tony suddenly asked, "Sister Mary, are you... tired?"

Tony always thought that Mary must be very tired, right?

In name, she is the captain of his own guard, responsible for commanding the guards to protect his safety, but in reality, she not only has to perform the duties of the captain of the guard to protect her own safety, but she also has to serve as Tony's personal secretary, collecting and compiling relevant documents for him, and sometimes even has to act as the little prince's maid, taking care of his daily life... Anyway, Tony looks very tired.

"Eh? Your Highness...what do you mean?" Mary was stunned. What Your Highness meant by this...is he not wanting her anymore?

This is not the modern era two thousand years later. If it were the modern era, if your boss said that he felt you were working very hard and tired, he would either sincerely want to give you a vacation or... you might be transferred to some low-paying job or your boss might take away your power.

But this was the Roman Empire two thousand years ago, not the modern era.

In a sense, everything about Mary, her body, her strength, her wisdom, all belonged to the Claudius family, and everything of her had been bought by Nero.

After Tony appeared, Nero gave everything that belonged to Mary to his brother, so now, Mary belongs to His Royal Highness the Prince.

Tired? Hard work?

In Mary's opinion, when His Royal Highness said this, it meant that he wanted her to rest, but she had no so-called "rest" and no holidays at all. If she really wanted to "rest", there were only two ways: first, die on the spot; second, be sent back to His Majesty by His Royal Highness.

According to His Highness's personality, He would not order me to commit suicide on the spot, so His Highness meant... to drive me away?!

Did I... do something wrong?

"Your Highness!" When Mary thought of the little prince's intention to drive her away, she immediately knelt on the ground and shouted to Tony: "Your Highness! I am not tired! I can still dedicate everything for Your Highness!"

"If you're not tired, then don't be tired...why are you crying?" Looking at the tears in the corners of Mary's eyes, Tony scratched his head and asked curiously.

"Your Highness!" Mary gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, closed her eyes and put on a desperate expression, and said to Tony: "Your Highness, I have been your personal bodyguard since Thessa Nonica. Counting the time, it has been almost a year and a half. Your Highness, in the past year and a half, I have worked hard even if I have no merits, right? Are you really so cruel as to drive me away?"

"Huh?" Tony was even more confused after hearing what Mary said. When... should I kick her out?

"Wait a minute, Sister Mary, don't cry. Let me ask you something first... How did you know... that I was going to kick you out?"

"...Huh?" Mary looked at Tony in confusion. Could it be that... when His Highness asked her if she was tired just now... he didn't mean to drive her away?

"Your Highness...you just asked me if I was tired...don't you want to drive me away?" Realizing that she might have misunderstood His Highness, Mary's face turned slightly red. She quickly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and asked Tony cautiously.

"What the hell is going on!" Tony slapped his thigh and stood up. He squatted down beside Mary and said, "I just think Sister Mary is having a hard time. Look, Sister Mary, you are the captain of my personal guard. Logically, your main responsibility should be to protect my safety. But what about now? Not only do you have to protect my safety, you also have to act as my secretary, organize documents for me, send and receive intelligence, and even take care of my daily life occasionally. I think... Sister Mary must be very tired, right? So I'm thinking about whether I should just find a secretary to share some of the work with you."

"Ah... Is this what Your Highness means?" Mary lowered her head a little embarrassedly. His Highness meant well, but she... seemed to have misunderstood him?

"What else?" Tony put on a gentle look, gently rubbed Mary's head and said, "How could I drive Sister Mary away? Don't you think so?"

Although Tony looks only thirteen or fourteen years old, he actually has the soul of an adult deep inside. So when he was about to comfort Mary, he subconsciously adopted the strategy he used to comfort his girlfriend in his previous life, which was to pat her on the head.

Although this strategy comes from an anime, it is undeniable that his girlfriend in his previous life... really fell for it!

But now Tony's behavior seems completely different to Mary.

He is a child, and now he is standing in front of her, touching his head like a little adult... emmmm, anyway, Mary has a weird expression on her face, and there is always a strange feeling in her heart.

……

Although the situation in various cities within the Jewish province was somewhat turbulent, perhaps due to some special reasons, not to mention the outbreak of new rebellions, even the long-active bandits in the Jewish province seemed to have restrained themselves a lot.

In short, the Jewish province is in a very strange silence at this moment.

At almost the same time, on the other side.

After several days of trekking, Rosa retreated to his camp with hundreds of remaining soldiers.

"Boss, what do you want to do?" After making sure that there were no outsiders in the tent, Gvorst walked up to Rosa and asked in a low voice.

"The simplest way is to organize a large-scale modern expeditionary force to deal with the Killing Hunters, just like we did when we formed the Five Continents Fleet. No matter how strong they are, they can't withstand the steel torrent composed of armored clusters, right? But in this way, the unknown variables we have to face will increase a lot, so it's better to forget it." Rosa smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"But the Killing Hunters must be dealt with eventually." Gworst frowned and said, "According to the analysis of the institute, they may set up camp in St. Petersburg, establish a base there, and then expand. Boss, you... don't want Tony to deal with the Killing Hunters, do you?"

"Not really..." Rosa smiled mysteriously and whispered, "You know the Star Gate has a very buggy ability. It just so happens that I got some good stuff through the Star Gate."

Chapter 597: The Princess' Treasure [Comedy]

"Good stuff? What good stuff?" Looking at Rosa's face with a look of success, Gvorst shuddered subconsciously. This person...something seems wrong no matter how he looks at him. Why is he like a hentai?

"We have to deal with the invading enemies from the Russian Lostbelt. The fundamental thing is to deal with the Killing Hunters, but how do we deal with them? Do we really have to use armored clusters or Poplar East Wind to eliminate them?" Rosa smiled and said, "Shoot the horse first when shooting a man, and capture the leader first when capturing a thief. This is the wisdom of the ancients. So, who is their leader?"

"Anastasia and her Master, one of the seven members of Chaldea's Group A, Kadoc." Gvorst blurted out without any hesitation.

"Yes, after dealing with these two, the others will be easy to handle." Rosa raised the corner of his mouth slightly, his tone a little inexplicable.

"You want a duel?" Gvorst frowned. With Rosa's strength, he was now strong enough to destroy this group of killing hunters single-handedly, but he had not taken any action. In other words, apart from leading the Eastern Han Empire army to hunt down the killing hunters or leading the private soldiers in his villa to hunt down the killing hunters, he himself had never taken action.

Rosa...seems to have other plans!

"One on one, no, no, no." Rosa waved his hand and said, "If I wanted to fight the Slaughter Hunters one on one, they wouldn't have been kept until now. I just always felt it was a pity. But fortunately, I used the bug of the star gate to obtain something good. I call this thing, the treasure against Anastasia."

"What the hell!" Gervorst shook his head. It seemed that the boss's second-year syndrome had struck again.

"Your address... makes me feel embarrassed." At this moment, the curtain of the tent was suddenly lifted up, and a young man wearing a Prussian military uniform who looked about fourteen years old lifted the curtain and said with a gentle smile on his face.

"Judging from your attire and age, you should be the reinforcements sent by Qiangwei, right?" After taking a close look at the young man in front of him, Rosa laughed, "Nice to meet you, I'm glad you can help me, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"...I just don't want to see that person being killed by you." The young man called the Crown Prince shrugged and said, "Okay, I'm new here. Next, big director, tell me about the scene you are going to prepare."

"I see." Gwost stood aside, looking at the boy thoughtfully for several times, and suddenly realized: "If I'm not mistaken, you... can indeed be called a treasure for Anastasia."

……

Russia is a highly expansionist country. Starting from the Grand Duchy of Moscow, Russia gradually expanded its territory and eventually formed a behemoth that dominated the northern part of the Eurasian continent, the Russian Empire.

Although the Russian Lostbelt does not belong to pan-human history, there are some things that cannot be corrected after all. Or to put it another way, even the Lostbelt has something in common with pan-human history in some aspects.

That is why when Ivan the Terrible, the Lord of the Russian Lostbelt, discovered this new Lostbelt, his first thought was to see if it was suitable for colonization.

It is for this reason that Kadok came to this world with the Killing Hunters... to kill the Lord of this world's Lostbelt.

"That man... is very strong." In front of the fire, Anastasia gathered her skirt and suddenly spoke.

"Yeah, I know." Kadoc certainly understood who the man Anastasia was talking about.

The young man in modern clothes, the young man who led the cavalry to chase them for a long time!

Although they saw the fighting power of the Killing Hunters defeated the enemy cavalry this time, their intuition told them that this man who had never taken action personally seemed to be planning something. That man... was like a dragon, a dragon with slightly narrowed eyes, teasing its prey.

"But he never took the initiative to attack us, and even when his cavalry was defeated, he never took any action to turn the tide. Why is that?" Anastasia asked curiously.

"He should have some kind of plan, some...plan that we don't know about. Maybe the next time he attacks us, that will be the time for victory." Kadoc replied calmly.

……

The new attack came quickly.

Three days later, Kadoc received a report from the Killing Hunters at the end of the team, saying that a large number of cavalry suddenly appeared in the rear, and the initial estimate of the number was between two hundred and three hundred.

"cavalry?"

Hearing this word, Kadoc quickly thought about it and knew that this was the guy who had chased them before, coming after them for the third time!

"This guy..." Looking at the cavalry behind him, Kadoc gritted his teeth, took Anastasia and separated the crowd, came to the end of the team, and said to Rosa who was at the front of the cavalry: "Tell me, what do you want to do this time? I'm just curious, we didn't provoke you, why do you keep chasing us?"

"Why?" Rosa grabbed the reins with one hand and scratched his head with the other hand. "Maybe... it's because you set foot in this world? You invaded this world... maybe you want to occupy the world? And if you want to occupy this world... you will kill the owner of this anomalous belt, right?"
