My XX deal with Sister Nero

Hearing this last name, Tony subconsciously took another look at the boy named Alexi.

A Romanov? Then...what's the connection with Anastasia?

"Don't look at me with such curiosity." The boy named Alexi smiled and said, "I am Anastasia's younger brother, the biological son of Nicholas II, the last Tsar of the Russian Empire, and also... your descendant."

"Afterlife? What the hell?" Tony blurted out subconsciously.

Although he has seen many demigods and gods in this world, he cannot say that he is an atheist, but... it is okay for gods to appear in front of him, but you said that the afterlife... this concept is not a real existence, which is too illusory for Tony. To be honest, he really cannot accept such remarks for a while.

And then again, my future life? Which self? This body? Or the future life of the consciousness called "Xiao Yun"?

But... he is the reinforcement invited by Rosa, so... just let him say whatever he wants for now.

"Afterlife? My afterlife? What does that mean?" Tony suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and coughed twice.

"Afterlife... That is to say, I am your next life. Well, the specific reasons should be clearly stated in the letter." Alexei Hen obviously did not want to dwell on this topic any further. After all, if he continued to talk about it, it might touch upon his blind spots in knowledge.

"Oh, oh, oh." Tony nodded. "Although the letter states it very clearly, I cannot completely believe your words. However... I can temporarily list the two of you as my guest generals to assist me in quelling this rebellion."

"No problem. Although I don't have much fighting power, but...sister should help you for my sake, right, sister~" Alexei said while looking at Anastasia with an innocent smile.

"Yeah." Anastasia nodded lightly.

After experiencing the initial joy of reunion, Anastasia basically maintained a cold image in front of outsiders, even if... the other person was her brother's previous life.

"Emmmm..." She looked at the brother and sister thoughtfully. For some reason, the flashing light in Alexi's eyes... gave her a very familiar and disgusting feeling.

Chapter 604: Rosa...is there something wrong with his brain?

Although Tony was curious about Alexi's true identity, since he didn't say anything now, it was not convenient for him to ask him about it. So he could only arrange accommodation for the siblings according to the usual practice.

After tidying up his room, Alexei, who also realized that Tony had a lot of questions, temporarily said goodbye to his sister and returned to the study again.

……

"There were quite a few people in this room just now. I know you have a lot to say. Now your sister is not here, and I have arranged for the captain of the guard beside me to do other things. There are only two of us in this room. I think... now we should have a frank talk?" Looking at Alexei standing in front of him, Tony smiled and spoke slowly.

"Of course." Alexei casually spread his hands and took off a button-like device from his throat. Then he cleared his throat and said in fluent Chinese: "Now... we can have a good chat."

"I guess you must have known just now that I, Alexei, am the youngest son of the last Tsar of the Russian Empire, the last crown prince of the Russian Empire, and also Anastasia's younger brother... Of course, these identities are definitely not what you want to know. What you want to know is my other identity. That's right, I am the 48th executor of the Executor Organization, codenamed 48."

"The Execution Organization? Rosa's organization?" Although he didn't know what Rosa's organization was called, since this person was related to Rosa and also said that he came from a certain organization, then this Execution Organization was most likely the organization that Rosa mentioned that wanted to recruit him.

"Huh? You actually guessed it?" Alexei showed a hint of surprise on his face: "I remember this time... it should be around the time when the organization just changed its name, right? You actually guessed that the executor organization I mentioned is Rosa's organization, you are worthy of it!"

"What else?" Tony looked at Alexei with a half-smile on his face. You know, the Romanov family can't speak Chinese. Who would believe you when you speak fluent Chinese and you say you are the last crown prince of Tsarist Russia?

"What else?" Alexi sighed at the look on Tony's face, and said with an expression of being defeated by you: "Okay, okay, actually to some extent, I am both Alexi and not Alexi. My situation is similar to yours, and I am also a time traveler. The only difference between us is that you were a time traveler passively, while I was a time traveler actively for some reason. If it wasn't really necessary this time, I wouldn't have come to you in this identity."

Sure enough, this guy is also a time traveler!

"Let's go together." Tony smiled and confirmed the other party's identity. Then, it was time to get to the point: "So, why did Rosa ask you to come? I don't know if you are familiar with the history of the First Jewish War, but I think I still need to tell you first. There is a large-scale rebellion in the Jewish province. It is estimated that there are more than 500,000 rebels, and I only have 5,000 troops. In addition to these 5,000 troops, the nearest reinforcement I have is the Earth Gate Monks who should arrive in Caesarea tomorrow."

"Gate of the Earth?" Alexei was stunned for a moment when he heard this word, and blurted out subconsciously: "Follow great wisdom, save the world with great compassion?"

"??? You watch puppet shows too?" Tony, who was also shocked by this, laughed. "Yes, it's the Buddhist Land Gate. I imitated the Land Gate in this world for the purpose of fighting against Christianity. You should also know that Christianity and the Roman Empire don't get along, but Christianity is a universal religion. The Roman Empire couldn't completely eradicate it even if it wanted to. The only way is to support a new universal religion to deal with this universal religion. Buddhism, which is not very greedy for secular power, naturally became my first choice."

"But Buddhism already exists in this world, so you created a ground gate that is very similar to Buddhism but not exactly the same, right?" Alexei clapped his hands softly, "As expected of a senior, this trick, if it were me, I really wouldn't have thought of it for a while."

"Senior? What do you mean?" Tony frowned. The word "senior" made him feel uneasy.

"I heard from Rosa that you haven't joined the organization yet, but believe me, you will choose to join us in the near future, at least in my era. You, Prince Tony Claudius Augustus Germanicus of Odeni, are the ninth executor of the organization and also one of the few think tanks in the organization. You, like the eldest brother and the second brother, are people who make a living by brains, but the eldest brother only made a living by brains in the early stage. Later... he became the kind of person who would rather take action than talk nonsense."

"I'm not interested in what your boss becomes. What did you say just now? I joined your organization? What does that mean?" Tony's expression sank slightly and his tone was somewhat serious.

Tony didn't think he would join such an organization.

Rosa once said that he would die in the future, so he made special arrangements and moved the research institute to prevent his enemies from deciphering the data of the institute to create the same person who could travel through time and space and lock the coordinates of this world. Therefore, he arrived in this world half a year later than originally planned.

That is to say, in the timeline of his death, Tony would have to go back half a year to see Rosa at this point in time.

So here comes the question.

In my other timeline, why did I join Rosa's organization?

Although the timeline has changed, I am still myself after all. Judging from my personality, the me in the other timeline should not join this so-called executor organization.

"I know you are confused. To be honest, senior, from what I know, there were actually several executors in the organization who did not want to join the organization at the beginning. But when the time came and the boss thought it was necessary for them to join the organization, he let them join. As for how to make the executors join the organization willingly, that is to tell the executors the organization's top secrets." Alexei shrugged and said casually.

"Tell them the top secrets of the organization? What do you mean? The boss you are talking about should be Rosa, right? Is there something wrong with his brain? Telling others the top secrets of the organization casually, isn't he afraid that others will still not join the organization after knowing this secret?" Tony frowned. Although he didn't want to join this organization, wasn't Rosa's behavior a little too outrageous? "Not true." Alexei smiled and waved his hand and said, "I was the same as you. When Rosa recruited me, I chose to refuse. Then, the boss told me the biggest secret of the organization. When I knew this secret, I understood that I would definitely join this organization."

Chapter 605: Rosa's Conspiracy

Is there really something wrong with Rosa's brain?

A little thought will show that this is impossible.

According to Rosa himself, he is the emperor in the world he lives in. He single-handedly created the only empire of superpowers in that world. He is an existence that can become a founding monarch. Even if he does not have first-class wisdom, at the very least, his IQ and EQ should not be lower than that of normal people, right?

Since the top secrets within an organization are top secrets, they are definitely not known to ordinary people. So even if Alexi told himself that not everyone in the organization knew the top secrets, Tony would definitely think that this is normal. But if you use top secrets as a gimmick to attract people, aren't you afraid that those so-called executors will betray you?

As if seeing the doubt in Tony's eyes, Alexi smiled at him and said, "Senior, please don't misunderstand me. The Executioner Organization...is an organization that is larger than any country you know of."

With Alexi's explanation, Tony quickly understood how powerful this Executioner Organization, the organization created by Rosa, was.

The Executioner Organization, which Alexei said was the organization that Rosa would definitely join in the future, had only more than 50 core members. Some of them had extremely strong individual combat capabilities, such as Rosa and the future Tony; others might not have strong combat capabilities, but had extraordinary strategies, such as Shen Xiaofan; of course, there were also some who were very good at business and provided a lot of wealth to the organization, and some had very wide connections, such as the guy who brought Nezha and Sanzang to Tony.

Of course, within the organization, most executors are useless people who have accomplished nothing. If these executors were thrown into society, they would probably only be ordinary working-class people who could feed the whole family. According to normal logic, these self-reliant guys are not considered useless, but compared with those other top executors, they... are really useless.

Perhaps, the only thing worthy of praise for them is their loyalty to the organization.

And below them in the executor organization are the agents.

According to the rules of the executor organization, when Rosa determines the new executor, he will generally send qualified executors without any tasks to carry out the exhibition. However, sometimes for various reasons, the executor cannot come in person, or for some reasons Rosa cannot temporarily absorb new executors. In order to provide them with certain conveniences in life, Rosa will generally send subordinates without alarming these newcomers to specifically assist the new executors. These absolutely loyal subordinates are the agents within the organization.

Further down, there are team organizations established or controlled by various capable executors, including the Alpha United Empire.

The vassal organizations controlled by each executor, the various agents, and the executors themselves united around Rosa to form this executor organization spanning more than fifty parallel worlds!

"More than fifty executors? Spanning more than fifty parallel worlds? This Rosa is really generous!" After listening to Alexi's narration, Tony was shocked and sighed subconsciously.

He seemed to understand why Rosa found him.

There are more than fifty executors in the organization, and the scale of this organization spans more than fifty parallel worlds. In other words, if Tony guessed correctly, then every executor in this organization should manage a corresponding parallel world.

The reason why Rosa recruited me was probably because... he was attracted by my identity as the Lord of the Lostbelt, right?

Rosa...so ambitious!

Although he had long guessed that Rosa must have other intentions in recruiting him, when he really guessed what Rosa was planning, he felt a little disappointed.

Rosa had told Tony before that he might have many enemies. In order to save Tony who would be assassinated in the future, Rosa forcibly turned the world into a lossbelt to ensure that Tony would not be assassinated again. However, correspondingly, Tony also had a lot more enemies.

Tiamat, the mother of all beasts, Solomon (Goetia), the master of the Temple of Time, the mysterious predator, and an alien god whose abilities are unknown and who has never appeared.

In addition, there are the monsters under Tiamat, the demon pillars under Solomon (Goetia), the wandering soldiers who serve as outposts for hunting wandering stars, and various loss belts, etc.

Although he was still wary of Rosa, Tony didn't know when, deep down in his heart, he had already regarded Rosa as someone he could trust.

After all, he did provide me with a lot of help.

In addition, Rosa had said before that he had changed the world for him, so deep in his subconscious, Tony trusted Rosa very much and thought that he and himself should all be friends.

But now, Tony has enough reasons to suspect that Rosa is essentially the same as Predator Planet and Alien God. His goal is also to control this Lostbelt. The only difference between him and Predator Planet is that Rosa wants to control this Lostbelt by winning him over.

But, none of them are good things.

"What's wrong, senior?" Alexei asked curiously as he saw Tony sitting there without saying a word.

"Nothing." He glanced at Alexei thoughtfully. Although he was now more wary of the executor organization headed by Losa, but now... since he still wanted to help him, why not accept his help?

"So Rosa sent you here, what kind of help can you provide me?" Tony sighed slightly, frowned, and asked seriously.

"We can't be used as an army of 100,000. I think... Senior probably never thought of transferring my sister and me to the front line, right? Or let me put it another way, Senior probably never thought of confronting the Jewish rebels head-on, right? From what I know about Senior's personality, Senior is better at small-scale elite assaults than commanding large-scale legion operations. So, Senior wants to lead a small-scale elite force to implement a decapitation tactic, right?"

"And then?" Tony nodded. Yes, compared to group warfare which he had no idea about, he was indeed better at concentrating elite forces to launch decapitation attacks, so he sent out spies to collect reliable intelligence on the rebels.

"Although I cannot use my abilities for some reason, my hand-to-hand combat ability is still better than my peers. And the most important thing is that we have a servant like Anastasia on our side. If we really fight, she may be stronger than you." Alexei shrugged: "So, we will cooperate with you and kill the leader of the opposite side!"

Chapter 606 Brotherhood?

Although Tony had been assassinated long ago when Alexei lived, and he had never met Tony, but as one of the few people in the Executioner Organization who could take on important responsibilities, Alexei still had some understanding of Tony.

Because Tony has a certain degree of love for history itself, and he is in the Roman Empire, he is a rare command talent in the organization. Like Rosa and the second executor, he is very good at commanding wars. However, because the three have different experiences, their command styles are also somewhat different.

Rosa is good at tricks, the second executor is good at large-scale legion frontal combat, and Tony... is good at leading elite troops to launch surprise attacks and carry out decapitation operations.

The reason is simply because Tony has an elite assassination team under his command.

"Wait a minute, you said the elite assassination team?" Tony was stunned for a moment, a little confused when he heard Alexi mumbling to himself.

Currently, Tony has only two troops that are absolutely loyal to him. One is the Odney First Legion, which is the only pure firearms legion in his hands. However, it almost consumed all its gunpowder in the war with Parthia and was temporarily written off. It is currently resting in the British province. The other troop is the Earth Gate Light Hall, which is mainly composed of the Four Heavenly Guardians.

But these two forces, by nature, are not so-called assassination forces.

In other words, he would have a new assassination team?

"Actually... it might be a timeline issue." Hearing Tony's question, Alexi waved his hand and said, "You should have heard from the boss that this Lostbelt was artificially modified by him in order to reverse the ending of your assassination. In other words, your original experience should be different from your current experience. Senior, you can simply understand that you are not acting according to the script now."

"Well, I understand this. Then what?" Tony nodded. According to Rosa, although there were magicians in the timeline where he originally lived, there was definitely no Tiamat, no alien gods, and no wandering planet soldiers. To a certain extent, the life Tony was supposed to live should be the life of the Roman Empire in history.

"According to the information I have learned, although you are full of evil tastes, you did not create the Earth Gate in another world line, and you may not even have thought of using universal religion to fight universal religion. But no matter which time line it is, extreme Christians will burn Rome, and no matter which world line it is, you do not want the reputation of His Majesty Nero to be damaged in the future. Therefore, no matter which world line it is, you will eventually raise your butcher knife against Christians. It's just a matter of time."

"So, in another world line, I formed such an assassination team?" Tony asked with an idea in his mind.

"No, no, no, the assassination team was prepared by you a long time ago. According to the intelligence within the organization, you knew a long time ago that Windykes would launch a rebellion in the future because you were familiar with history, so you prepared this team early and planned to suppress Windykes' rebellion at the speed of light. However, because of the Fire of Rome, this team appeared ahead of time." Alexei replied with a smile.

"It's really my style." Tony nodded. This method of taking preventive measures was, yes, his.

"This unit is an elite force that you, senior, use to assassinate the enemy's core personnel. It is said that this unit's headquarters is located in Alexandria, and you, senior, named this unit... Brotherhood." Alexei said.

...Brotherhood?

Well, that’s right.

If he had been a little bit unconvinced before, when Alexi said this name, Tony believed it completely.

This kind of name full of spoof flavor is totally my style!

Brotherhood comes from Assassin's Creed. I guess in another world line, I wanted to create something similar to the Underworld Gate, but then I didn't know what to do, and finally, I created the Brotherhood.

Although there is no Brotherhood in this world line now, this does not prevent Tony from bringing out the Brotherhood after quelling the rebellion.

……

After obtaining a lot of interesting information from Alexei, Tony sent Alexei back to have a good rest, and then he also relaxed a little, waiting for the arrival of the reinforcements from the Earth Gate.

The reinforcements from the Earth Gate did not disappoint Tony.

The next morning, Tony was still sorting out the battle reports from the Jewish province that Mary had compiled in the morning, when he heard a guard outside the door report that the ship responsible for transporting the Earth Gate monks had arrived at the port outside the city.

"We're finally here." After hearing the guard's report, Tony stood up excitedly, pulled Mary who was standing next to him, and walked towards the port.

Tony's pockets have become a lot richer recently.

When Tony established the Roman Customs, he unified the tariff-related taxes and tax collectors within the Roman Empire. He originally planned to use this customs to expand the Roman Empire's treasury, but for various reasons, Nero compromised with the Senate and the Roman Customs was divided into three parts. Half of the tariff revenue from the Roman Customs went into the imperial treasury, and the remaining half was cut in half, half going to the Senate and half to the Claudius family.

Although it was not as good as expected, but at least... the accounts were clear this time, and Tony knew roughly how much money the Senate had taken from it. Unlike before, when the accounts of each province were relatively independent, it was difficult for him to check the accounts.

In short, Tony's pockets are now fatter because of the Roman customs, and these so-called Earth Gate monks are actually elite mercenaries hired by Tony at a high price.

In terms of combat experience and combat effectiveness alone, these hundreds of mercenaries are probably stronger than the Roman legions responsible for border defense.

"Sure enough, this ground gate is closely related to Prince Odney." Just as Tony arrived at the port of Caesarea to personally watch the ground gate monks disembark, on a small hill not far away, a poor man in a short shirt was lying on the ground, quietly watching this scene.

When the local officials mobilized monks to set out from Rome, the rebels in the Jewish province received the relevant news. Although Tony had an insider who revealed his relationship with the local officials, the Christians had always been skeptical. After all, for them, no matter who the official Roman Empire was, they were all the same and were no good.

They were worried that this might be a scam, a trap to lure them out and ensnare them.

Therefore, the Christians had been closely watching the movements of the warship carrying the Earth Gate monks. It was not until they arrived at the port of Caesarea and successfully reunited with Tony that they were finally sure of one thing: that guy in the city of Rome had not deceived them!

Chapter 607: Enemy, Salome

Taking into account the special nature of the Dimen monks, Tony did not place them in the military camp, but chose to disperse them in several small hotels in the city.

Just as Tony was placing the monks, good news came from the intelligence department accompanying Tony.

They found several key figures of the Sadducees.

As mentioned earlier, since the Roman Empire conquered the Jewish region, Judaism in the Jewish region has been divided into several large and small factions. Among the upper nobles, there were the Herodians who advocated dependence on the Roman Empire and the Sadducees who advocated cooperation with the Roman Empire. However, during this rebellion, for various reasons, the Herodians, who were supposed to be the iron brother of the Roman Empire, became one of the core factions of the rebels, while the other Sadducees, based on the principle of neutrality, neither joined the rebellion nor chose to surrender to the Roman Empire.
