My XX deal with Sister Nero

Especially...his life was pretty smooth in the past two years.

With his knowledge of technology, he invented the stirrup and the rattlesnake, made hand cannons and matchlock guns, and he almost never lost in commanding wars.

Famous generals of the Roman Empire, such as Vespasian, were at his command. Everyone in the empire, from the common people to the Senate, boasted about his achievements. Even though he knew that he actually had no talent for command and that these were actually the credit of Vespasian and others, Tony was inevitably inflated in this environment where everyone was praising him.

And now, he has become inflated, and during this period when there are no famous generals to command and give him advice, he has been reduced to his original form.

He was too arrogant and thought that the rebels were just a group of rabble. He did not take into account the ever-changing situation on the battlefield, so now he was trapped and died in the city of Caesarea.

The loyal Roman soldiers guarded him and fell before him one by one, so unwilling and bloody. At this moment, death was no longer a string of cold numbers, but living lives that disappeared out of thin air under his blind command.

Tony's mentality collapsed. If Mary hadn't held him back, he would probably have rushed forward and confronted the enemy head-on.

"Your Highness!" Although it was unclear what was happening to His Highness, as a woman, Mary was very sensitive and of course she vaguely realized that something was wrong with Tony at the moment.

"Sister Mary... I..." Tony opened his mouth and looked at the guards standing in front of him and protecting him tightly.

These guards were selected by Nero himself. They followed him when he left Rome for Britain. In the past two years, Tony almost lived and ate with them. In addition, because he was an ordinary person in his previous life, Tony, who was not arrogant, had a good relationship with them.

They... are almost the same size as Nero, and the oldest one is only twenty-three years old this year!

In the Mood for Love, are they going to ruin their lives here because of their own stupidity? !

"Your Highness... We will fight to the death to protect you and get you out." Standing in front of Tony, a guard turned his head and smiled sweetly at Tony, saying, "Your Highness, I know that you must be a little reluctant at the moment, but... As your guards, our duty is to die for you, so your Highness, please don't be sad."

"I..." Tony opened his mouth.

He regretted it, he really did.

He is just an ordinary person. He is not some great monk who does not emphasize compassion. He just hopes that the people around him can live well.

"Kill!" A personal guard shouted, waving the dagger in his hand, and led more than ten personal guards to rush towards the rebel camp without hesitation.

As long as we can get through... as long as we can get through... as long as we can get through, we can protect His Highness!

"No..." Tony subconsciously stretched out his right hand, wanting to grab the young lady who was smiling at him.

Yes, I know her. That bodyguard was born into a lower-class noble family. Like Mary, she treated me as her own brother. I remember that the last time I was beaten by my sister, it was she and Mary who quietly came to my room, wiped the tears from my eyes gently while I was asleep, and covered me with a blanket.

"Don't..." Tony felt as if his throat was blocked by something and his nose seemed to have been punched. Seeing several bodyguards being chopped to the ground by the rebels, Tony felt his heart aching. These young ladies, most of them were only eighteen or nineteen years old. In the world of their previous life, they were only high school students. Now, for him, for his stupidity, to protect him, to keep him alive, they rushed towards the enemy without hesitation. They wanted to use their bodies to open a bloody road for Tony.

"No..." Watching the guards falling to the ground one after another, Mary and Tony rushed into the crowd under the protection of the remaining twenty or so guards. She also wanted to save those comrades who were still alive, but... she couldn't save them, because she had to protect His Highness and rush out!

"Don't die..." Tony was crying. He was regretting that he wished he had enough strength. The power of the heroic spirit was not enough to fight against tens of thousands of troops. In other words, the power of the heroic spirit in his body was not enough to fight against the rebels. If... if there was an invincible Roman legion, maybe... maybe they could protect everyone?

"It's over!" A rebel soldier had a ferocious smile on his face. He held a spear in one hand and looked at a guard lying on the ground spitting blood. The cold tip of the spear was pointed at the guard's chest.

What a pity, such a lovely little girl, if only she could let me...

However, as soon as this thought flashed through the rebel soldier's mind, a somewhat transparent spear pierced through his head almost instantly.

"...What, what is this?! A ghost?!" Almost at the same time, countless transparent Roman soldiers suddenly appeared out of thin air around the twenty-odd guards. Some of them appeared in front of the guards to defend them from the rebels' attacks, while others appeared in the rebel camp and ruthlessly harvested the lives of the rebels. They... were like the most elite guards of the Roman Empire, capable of both offense and defense, and responded to the battle calmly.

"So... is that so..." Tony smiled bitterly as he looked at this completely transparent Roman army. Are they... his reinforcements? It would have been great if they could have come earlier.

If they could have come earlier, the female guards who had been with them day and night would not have died, and those Roman soldiers who resolutely stayed behind to protect them would not have died... They... they all would not have died because of their own stupidity.

This legion arrived a little late. They failed to save the lives of these soldiers, and they failed to save the lives of these young ladies of the royal guards. They... could only redeem their own stupidity and avenge these dead soldiers with a heart full of rage and murderous intent.

Gently shaking off Mary's left hand, Tony, with tears on his face, looked at the rebel soldiers around him with an indifferent expression. He raised his right hand slightly, pointed in front of him, and said softly: "Unfold the treasure, the invincible Roman legion!"

Chapter 633: Your Highness...seems to have grown up

Whether they are Heroic Spirits or Servants, their Noble Phantasms are all sublimated based on their own anecdotes and legends. For example, the Twelve Trials and Twelve Glories of Hercules were sublimated from the anecdote that he went through twelve trials in mythology and legends.

So does Tony.

In another timeline, Tony was assassinated. In order to reverse the situation, Rose... or Rosa in the future, together with Nero, created a false "Tony". They mobilized their forces everywhere to desperately create anecdotes and legends for Tony, so that he could eventually become a heroic spirit and cut this world line into a lossbelt.

However, due to a time paradox, at this point in time, although Tony has inherited the powerful fighting power of the Heroic Spirit Tony, he has not inherited the corresponding Noble Phantasm. It's like you are playing FGO and you find a big guy to guide you, but this big guy doesn't add you as a friend. You can use his servants, but you can't use his servants' Noble Phantasms.

The Noble Phantasm does exist, but Tony cannot use it because of the time paradox caused by the conflict of world lines.

But now, Tony, through his own efforts and his own wishes, has finally once again...unleashed his own treasure.

The Noble Phantasm from the Cavalier Servant Tony, the invincible Roman Legion!

"What...what is this?!" Looking at the transparent Roman soldiers who suddenly appeared, the rebel general subconsciously took two steps back with a panicked look on his face.

He is just an ordinary person, not a magician. He doesn't know what a heroic spirit is or what a noble phantasm is. He only knows that everything that is happening before his eyes has exceeded his understanding of the world.

……

When a heroic spirit unleashes his Noble Phantasm, no ordinary person can contend with him. A typical example is Iskandar, who now dominates the northern part of the Parthian Empire. When he first started his army, he had almost no soldiers at all, and he relied entirely on his Noble Phantasm to conquer a territory with several cities.

In front of Iskandar's treasure, the Parthian Empire's most elite armored cavalry was no match for Iskandar.

The same is true for Tony.

The prototype of "the invincible Roman Legion" is the British Legion commanded by Tony decades later. In another timeline, as the Governor of Britain, he relied on his own modern training methods and with the secret help of Rosa, the British Legion was the most powerful in the world in terms of combat effectiveness and weapons and equipment.

And this invincible legion, which followed Tony in his battles, completely defeated the Parthian Empire and the tribes of all sizes in southern East Africa in that timeline, and completely controlled the East African region and the entire Arab region. Even before he was assassinated, Tony had completely conquered the Germanic region. In front of this legion, in front of this legion made up of all heroes, how could a mob of rabble be the opponent of this elite legion?

Soon, under the attack of Tony's treasure, the rebel army was quickly torn apart and fled screaming in all directions.

Tony sighed as he watched the rebels leave, and whispered to the dozen or so guards who survived: "You... take a closer look first to see if there are any survivors. If there are any... take them back to the East City Wall and let the doctors there see if they can be treated."

As he spoke, Tony looked up at the sky and said to Elizabeth, who had been floating there without making a move, "What? Aren't you going to make a move yet?"

From the very beginning, Elizabeth was suspended in the air, with no intention of making another move. Tony couldn't figure out what she wanted to do for a while, so he didn't act rashly, but chose to stay here and wait and see.

"The power of heroic spirits..." Elizabeth looked at Tony thoughtfully and suddenly smiled.

"Do you have anything to say?" Tony looked up at Elizabeth, secretly tightening the hilt of the sword in his hand, and asked.

"I don't have anything to say." Elizabeth waved her hands and fluttered her wings behind her. "Since you are a Heroic Spirit, then... I can no longer deal with you in the same way as before. I need to report your situation to my Master and let him make the decision."

As she spoke, Elizabeth turned around in mid-air and quickly left.

"Huh." After watching Elizabeth leave, Tony turned to Mary who was standing next to him and said, "Sister Mary, take the guards away from here first. I can go to the west wall alone."

"But Your Highness..." Mary looked at Tony with some concern and opened her mouth.

"No buts." Tony interrupted Mary and said seriously, "You saw it just now. I...well, I gained a new ability that can summon an extremely powerful army. The combat effectiveness of this army is even stronger than the most elite guards of the empire. You following me... will only drag me down. So, Sister Mary, be obedient and lead everyone to live well!"

"Your Highness..." If it were in the past, Mary would definitely try her best to hold Tony back and not let him take risks, but now, Mary was a little hesitant.

Although she didn't know what a Noble Phantasm was, she had just witnessed with her own eyes that Tony had indeed summoned a legion to fight for him. And Mary, who was from the most elite guards of the Royal Guards, could tell at a glance that the fighting power of these soldiers was definitely superior to that of the Royal Guards!

This is a truly invincible army!

This army...maybe we can actually recapture the western city wall!

"Believe me, Sister Mary, if I really am not sure I can take the west city wall, I will retreat on my own." Tony looked at Mary and suddenly smiled.

"Your Highness..." For some reason, Mary had a feeling that the prince in front of her... seemed to have grown up a lot.

"Okay, Your Highness, if the time comes when you find that you are no match for the enemy, you must retreat, understand?" Mary took a deep breath and looked at Tony seriously, and said softly.

"Yeah." Tony nodded, waved to Mary, turned and left.

Your Highness... maybe you have really grown up?

Looking at Tony's back, Mary suddenly sighed in her heart.

……

Hurrying along the alley and after avoiding several patrol teams, Tony slipped into an empty two-story building and looked at the western city wall not far away through the window.

Chapter 634: Ai's Stealth Technique and Kang's Stealth Technique

"Well, we can confirm that there are at least three thousand rebels on the city wall. In addition, there should be hundreds of rebel soldiers in the nearby streets and city gates, and..."

Tony rubbed his chin while muttering to himself: "Although the vision is limited to a certain extent, the warship that was originally docked at the dock seems to be gone? If this is the case, then the Earth Gate should not have suffered a complete loss."

Well, no matter whether Tony suffers complete losses or not... he will find a way to retake the western city wall and ensure that he has a way to retreat!

Taking a deep breath, Tony grabbed a bow and arrow from the ground next to him.

This bow and arrow was stolen when fighting the rebels near the central square. Although it has the potential to be a bow, but... Tony has not received any systematic bow and arrow training. For someone like him who has never touched a bow and arrow, let alone hitting the enemy, he would be thankful if he could shoot the arrow in a straight line instead of a diagonal line.

But... since Tony dared to take the bow and arrow, it meant that he had already considered such a situation and had come up with a response plan.

Generally speaking, when shooting arrows, the bow is held upright, and the arrow is shot close to the bow. However, archers who have just started to learn archery cannot do this. The arrow may just fly downward or to the right. Tony...thought of a very simple solution.

I can't hold it upright, so why can't I lay the bow flat and put the arrow on it and shoot it? Wouldn't that be a bit like a hand crossbow?

So, with this thought in mind, Tony took a deep breath, quickly drew his bow and aimed the arrow with a shining cold arrowhead at the rebel outpost on the roof of a two-story building not far away.

With a "swoosh" sound, the bowstring loosened and the arrow shot out. Then, the arrow accurately pierced the rebel sentry's head.

"Very good." Tony clenched his fists gently, took a deep breath, and then aimed the arrow at the next target.

About ten seconds later, almost all the sentries on the path in front of Tony were cleared out, and the only ones left were the two rebel soldiers standing at the entrance of the street right below his building.

"Next, it's time to use the Ai-style stealth technique." Tony gently put down the bow, pulled out two daggers from his waist, and then leaned forward to confirm the direction of the two sentries downstairs. He then jumped up with his hands on the window frame, and the moment he landed, he thrust the dagger in his hand into the skulls of the two rebel soldiers.

"Perfect." Turning his head to look at the two rebel sentinels lying on the ground, Tony nodded.

After rushing into the alley and confirming the direction, Tony dodged left and right, relying on his physical strength and reaction ability as a heroic spirit. He sneaked all the way, and after eliminating several sentinels, Tony finally came to the building closest to the west wall.

"At this point... the Ai-style stealth technique should be useless, right?" Tony shook his head after taking a closer look at the defense in front of him, which was almost set up with a sentry every three steps and a sentry every five steps. Since the Ai-style stealth technique didn't work, he might as well try another stealth technique.

The essence of Ai's stealth technique is to kill the enemy before the enemy successfully discovers you, so that the enemy cannot see you.

And the other Tony is about to perform Kang's stealth technique, the characteristic of which is... kill all the enemies you can see. In this way, the enemies can't see you, and your stealth is considered successful.

"Next..." Taking a deep breath, Tony began to try to communicate with Dayuan.

The source of a Servant's magic power is the summoner. For example, in the Holy Grail War, Illya summoned Hercules, and the source of the magic power Hercules needed for his actions was Illya.

Of course, there are some special beings, such as the big-eyed cute... ahem, Marshal Gil summoned by Ryunosuke in the Fourth Holy Grail War, and Sarge summoned by Shirou in the Fifth Holy Grail War. They can only replenish their magic through some alternative methods.

But Heroic Spirits are different.

Heroic Spirits are not inferior copies of Servants; they are the original heroes imprinted in the history and summoned directly by the Suppressive Force. As for Tony... although he was not summoned by the Suppressive Force, he gained the power of Heroic Spirits, so in a way, there is no difference between him and the Heroic Spirits summoned by the Suppressive Force.

Therefore, the source of his magic power is the MANA in the atmosphere.

After communicating with Dayuan and adjusting his condition to the peak, Tony took a deep breath and released the treasure again.

"The invincible Roman legion!"

Along with low roars, countless translucent soldiers appeared out of thin air around the building. They were divided into groups of three or five, holding weapons and rushing towards the nearby rebel soldiers who had not yet reacted.

"Enemy attack!!!"

After paying the price of several casualties, the rebel soldier who reacted finally roared before dying, alerting the rebels on the city wall.

However... this didn't have any effect.

In the future, more than ten years later, the British Legion under Tony's command will have 40,000 soldiers. This treasure of his was modeled after the British Legion, so if it really wants to be fully deployed, Tony can summon an army of 40,000 at any time.

But Tony is not very familiar with the treasure yet, so to be on the safe side, he did not release all 40,000 people this time. He only released 5,000 people, which is the number of soldiers in a standard Roman legion.

But even these five thousand soldiers were enough to kill the rebels and make them cry out in despair.

Although not as good as Iskandar, where almost all the soldiers summoned by the treasure are heroic spirits, but in Tony's treasure, all the generals in his invincible Roman legion are almost all heroic spirits!

Are you kidding? There are three emperors in his army! The three emperors of the entire Flavian dynasty were all his subordinates!

"Damn it..." On the city wall, the rebel generals looked frustrated. The enemy was too strong. With such a strong fighting force, it was estimated that it was either the veterans who retreated from the front line or the guards who came from Rome to support. But no matter which army it was, why didn't they receive any news? ! What were those spies wandering around the suburbs of Caesarea doing? !

"Is this... a treasure?" On the city wall, Archimedes looked thoughtfully at the people fighting in the city and muttered to himself.

Chapter 635: Alexei's Toys

As a heroic spirit, Archimedes certainly knew what a Noble Phantasm was. He could also sense that the scene before him, or these translucent existences, were the Noble Phantasms of a certain heroic spirit.

But...whose treasure is this?

"According to intelligence, the Roman Empire currently officially has three Heroic Spirits: Romulus, Cleopatra VII, and Longinus. In addition to these three, there is also Nero who has the power of a Heroic Spirit, but..." Archimedes frowned and pondered, "I know Nero's Noble Phantasm, and I have heard a little about the other three's Noble Phantasms, but they don't match the one in front of me. Whose Noble Phantasm could it be?"

Could it be some other heroic spirit?

But that's not right. Archimedes still has some relevant information about the resurrected heroes, including those who have died. However, among the information he currently has, there is no such treasure. The only similar one is Iskandar's "King's Army".

But the King's Army summoned the Macedonian Legion that had followed Emperor Iskandar to conquer the world. The army in front of them was obviously dressed like a Roman Legion, which was completely different from the Macedonian Legion.
