My XX deal with Sister Nero
Page 227
As a monarch, Ramses II naturally had considerable foresight. He understood that the Roman Empire was too powerful, so powerful that even if he could live forever in this world, so powerful that even if he was given another hundred years to develop the Kingdom of Egypt, he might not be able to take back Lower Egypt from the Roman Empire.
Therefore, even when the Roman Empire attacked Parthia and there were almost no troops in Lower Egypt, Ramses II did not choose to attack the Roman Empire's Egyptian province.
The reason was simple, he knew that Parthia was no match for the Roman Empire.
If the Parthian Empire had no internal troubles, it would have been able to compete with the Roman Empire. But the problem was that when the Roman Empire attacked Parthia for the second time, the Parthian Empire was in a stage of internal and external troubles. In addition to the Roman Empire, there were several countries around the Parthian Empire that were eyeing it covetously, and there was even rebellion within the Empire. Under such circumstances, it was impossible for it to defeat the Roman Empire. If it took the opportunity to attack, even if it seized the Lower Egypt region, when the Roman Empire was freed from the front battlefield, the Kingdom of Egypt would still suffer.
So Ramses II was waiting, waiting for the right opportunity, an opportunity to seize the Lower Egypt region.
When Salome invited him to attack the Roman Empire, to be honest, Ramses II didn't really want to do it. After all, the Parthians might not be able to defeat the Romans, so what can you do with just these Jewish rebels? But Ramses II didn't completely refuse. He just vaguely expressed that he would "wait for the opportunity to act."
The so-called waiting for an opportunity, to put it bluntly, means that I may help you fight, but I may also not help you.
Although he had already made up his mind, Ramses II decided to go to the battlefield to observe in person and see if he could gain any benefits from it.
As a result, as soon as he arrived in the province of Judea, he received a piece of information that concerned him very much.
Nero and Tony are both in the city of Caesarea, and the army they have is only one Roman legion!
If the rebels captured Caesarea and captured these two, they could easily hold them hostage and force the Roman Empire to recognize the Kingdom of Judea.
And if Ramses II really took the opportunity to do something, he could definitely take advantage of it to gain some benefits.
For example, gaining the Lower Egypt region.
After all, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Thinking of this, Ramses II couldn't help but be moved, and then prepared to cooperate with Salome to attack Caesarea.
……
"Are you talking about Ramses II?" Rosa, who was standing next to Tony, suddenly changed his expression. As a moon man, he certainly understood how powerful Ramses II was. If Ramses II chose to attack Caesarea, then Gvorst would definitely be restrained by Ramses II. By then, the south wall...it would be hard to say who would win!
"There's nothing we can do." Tony took a deep breath and suddenly turned his head to look at the guards behind him and said, "Send the order immediately, order the cavalry to take the initiative and weaken the rebels' attack on the southern wall as much as possible."
Yes, that's right, the cavalry of the 25th Legion was not completely lost in the previous battle.
In yesterday's battle, Salome's goal was very clear, which was to capture the dock and cut off the retreat of the Caesarea defenders. At that time, Tony also had a premonition that the dock would become his last retreat, so he specially deployed 300 cavalrymen under the 25th Legion and his own Earth Gate monks here. Unexpectedly, the other side actually dispatched a servant. The most direct result was that more than 600 Earth Gate monks were killed by more than five-sixths, and as for the 300 cavalrymen... nearly half of them were lost.
Fortunately, although half of the cavalry was lost, Tony still had the other half, which was about 150 cavalrymen. Although these 150 cavalrymen were not enough to attack the rebel army head-on, they were barely enough if they were just used for harassment.
"I'm afraid it's not enough to just harass the rebels," Rosa said with a frown.
"How about you do it?" Tony snorted and teased, "With your strength, you can definitely defeat that sausage, right?"
"No matter how powerful Ramses II is, he cannot defeat the Demon Pillar. I can definitely defeat him in my prime, but the problem is that I'm not in my prime now." Rosa shrugged with a wry smile, looking helpless.
"I knew you were useless." Tony shook his head and said to Mary who was standing behind him, "Sister Mary, go and invite Alexi and Anastasia over and tell them that I have something important to discuss with you."
Chapter 650: Archimedes' Tactics
Jokes aside, Tony is not unaware of Rosa's current situation.
According to Gvorst, Rosa's secret technique is purely about losing one's life. Although Rosa has improved this secret technique through his own means and will not lose his life because of it, after using this secret technique, he will still have a period of weakness. During this period, Rosa, who was able to fight against the Demon Pillar, will be reduced to the point where he can only compete with dragon slayers like Zero.
Not to mention facing a top Heroic Spirit like Ramses II, Rosa at this moment would have little chance of winning even if he faced an ordinary Servant.
Since Rosa is of no use, Tony can only ask Alexei for help temporarily.
"What? To deal with Laer?" After hearing Tony's description, Alexei shook his head and said, "You must be joking. Who can beat him?"
"I'm not asking you to fight Ramses II alone." Tony sighed and frowned, "Ramses II's main opponent is Gvorst. When the time comes, you and your sister will be responsible for stopping the rebels from attacking the city."
"Stop the rebels?" Alexei touched his nose.
If it was just a matter of stopping the rebels, then there wouldn't be much of a problem.
While Tony and Alexi were negotiating, on the other side, in the south of Caesarea.
"Almost." Turning his head to look at the Sphinx behind him, Ramses II pointed the scepter in his hand at the wall of Caesarea not far away. Accompanied by a dazzling light, a beam of light suddenly emitted from the face of the Sphinx and hit the southern wall of Caesarea.
"What the hell?!" Through the vision shared by the soldiers summoned by his treasure, Tony witnessed from a first-person perspective a beam of light cannon hitting the city wall. Amidst the earth-shaking movement, a large gap was blasted out of the south city wall by the beam of light cannon!
"What happened?" The noise from the south city wall naturally reached the Chief Executive's residence. Rosa, who was standing next to Tony, suddenly changed his expression when he heard the huge roar. He pulled Tony and asked subconsciously.
"I don't know. I only know that La Er, the ham sausage, made a huge sphinx from the ground behind him, and then the sphinx fired a cannon at the south wall."
"Sphinx? Light cannon?" Rosa's heart sank: "Hot Sand Sphinx!"
"What the hell?" Tony was obviously confused when he heard the name.
"Hot Sand Sphinx." Rosa rolled his eyes at Tony and explained, "I doubt whether you are a qualified Moon Man. This is one of Ramses II's treasures. It is the sphinx he summoned when he was EX in FGO."
"I didn't ship the goods, how would I remember?" Tony also rolled his eyes at Rosa and muttered.
"...When I have the chance in the future, I will charge you with stones so that you can collect all the heroes and fill them with treasures, okay?" Rosa covered his forehead and said, "But the current situation is, Ramses II...how should we solve it?"
"How do we solve it? Can't your Gvorst solve it?" Tony shrugged, "Don't worry about Little Dragon Lady going to reinforce. The Elector Hyacinth and Prince Cangdu under your command have already held them back."
"Hold the opponent?" Rosa smiled bitterly. "I have fought with Archimedes before, and I also know this guy from the game. Do you think Archimedes... has any backup plan?"
"What do you mean?" Tony became alert instantly after hearing this.
"You should have observed it through your Noble Phantasm, right? Prince Cangdu and Elector Hyacinth were planning to launch a decapitation operation, and in order to protect themselves, Archimedes and Salome retreated back to the camp... Can you still see the next plot?"
"I can't see a ghost!" Although he was still complaining about Rosa, Tony's heart sank instantly.
The five senses of the soldiers summoned by his treasure are connected to his five senses, that is to say, Tony can perceive everything through the soldiers' senses, and what the soldiers can see, he can also see.
It was through these soldiers that he heard Prince Cangdu's advice and saw Prince Cangdu and Elector Hyacinth armed with weapons launching a decapitation operation to force Salome and Archimedes into the camp, but... he could not see what was happening inside the camp at all.
"I don't know if you have noticed, but I actually have a small earphone in my left ear, which is connected to the translator on my throat. This earphone is mainly used to provide me with real-time translation, but later I asked the research institute to add a function to this earphone, a function similar to a walkie-talkie, so I received a report from Prince Cangdu that they encountered a very tough opponent in the camp." Rosa pointed to his left ear and said slowly.
A tough opponent? Tony's first reaction was Little Dragon Lady, but then he thought, maybe Little Dragon Lady is a tough opponent for the relatively weak Prince Cangdu, but Prince Cangdu also has Elector Hyacinthus whose combat power is close to that of Gvorst. Gvorst dared to rush up and fight Ramses II directly. Could it be that Little Dragon Lady's combat power is comparable to that of Ramses II?
Are you kidding me?
"Are there new enemies in the camp?" Tony asked with a frown.
"Of course." Rosa nodded and looked at the eastern city wall in the distance.
At this moment, outside the east city wall.
Archimedes and others naturally saw that Gervorst and others came forward to rescue Rosa, especially Elector Hyacinth and Prince Cangdu. Since these two were able to restrain Rosa and did not suffer any harm at his hands, it means that their fighting power is probably enough to compete with the Heroic Spirit.
Therefore, if you want to deal with them, relying on just one little dragon girl probably won't be enough.
Archimedes' tactics were also simple.
In order to capture Caesarea and capture Tony and Nero alive, I have to deal with these two... myself, and dealing with them will probably take some brainpower.
After thinking about it, Archimedes quickly came up with an idea of how to deal with these two people.
Although it is not clear how many defenders are in Caesarea now, according to the tactics Tony used to deal with the Pontic rebels and the Parthian Empire, he likes to use the small to win the big, and likes to launch surprise attacks and decapitation strategies to attack the enemy's military commanders, attempting to use such means to quickly end the war with minimal losses. If this is the case, then he is very likely to send these two people to attack himself and Salome.
So Archimedes simply used himself as bait and ambushed several newly summoned servants in the camp, intending to keep these two here forever and clear the obstacles for his capture of Caesarea!
Chapter 651: Killing Institution Qihuang?
Just as Rosa and Tony were sharing information, on the other side, inside the rebel camp.
In order to launch a decapitation tactic to quickly resolve the battle, Prince Cangdu and Elector Hyacinth, who were confident of their strength, chased Archimedes and Salome into the rebel camp. However, what they did not expect was that when they just entered the rebel camp, Salome and Archimedes, who had been panicked before, suddenly stopped their escape, turned around and looked at them with a mocking smile on their faces.
"Hmm?" Looking at the expressions on their faces, Prince Cangdu, who had fought on the battlefield for many years, was the first to notice something was wrong. He took two steps forward and came to the side of Elector Hyacinth, and said in a deep voice with a gloomy face: "Your Highness, Elector Hyacinth, I think we may have fallen into a trap."
"Fell into a trap? Did they send out their servants?" Elector Hyacinth said nonchalantly.
Unlike Prince Cangdu, Elector Hyacinthus' real name is Fujido Yuriko. Just by listening to the name, you can tell that he is a genuine Japanese. Compared to Prince Cangdu who only knows how to fight, Elector Hyacinthus knows a lot about this world.
She learned from Tony that Archimedes possessed the ability to summon Servants. Of course, for a magician of the Age of Gods, summoning Servants without relying on the power of the Holy Grail was somewhat difficult but not impossible, so Elector Hyacinth did not find it strange.
But Elizabeth Bathory, Elector Hyacinth, did not think that this servant would be a match for herself and Prince Cangdu.
After all, in the world where he lives, apart from those few people, there are really few people who can defeat the Elector Hyacinth.
This is out of confidence in one's own strength!
But Prince Cangdu didn't think so.
Based on his intuition on the battlefield, Prince Cangdu only knew one thing, that the other party had fought with his boss before, so they should have a rough estimate of the strength of himself and Elector Hyacinth. In this case, they dared to ambush them using him as bait, which means... the number of people they ambushed can at least cause trouble to himself!
"You two... are very strong." Looking at the alert Prince Cangdu, Archimedes clapped his hands and said, "If I want to capture Caesarea, I must get rid of you two first."
"Then?" Prince Cangdu secretly tightened the Tang sword in his hand and looked at Archimedes not far away with a cold face.
He was estimating whether he had the ability to kill with one blow!
If the other party was just an ordinary person, Prince Cangdu would not care about anything. After all, in front of a superpower like him, as long as you are an ordinary person, no matter what you have practiced, you are not his opponent.
However, Salome and Archimedes are not ordinary people, they are heroes, and Prince Cangdu is not confident enough to kill them with one blow!
"Nothing happened then." Archimedes shrugged and then snapped his fingers.
Along with the sound of snapping fingers, Prince Cangdu, who was originally holding the Tang sword, suddenly changed his expression. He subconsciously leaped forward and swept the Tang sword in his hand behind him.
"Good reaction." Accompanied by the sound of metal clashing.
A young girl who was wearing shoes with two sharp blades on her feet, as if she was walking on stilts, stood behind Prince Cangdu and spoke with a haughty expression.
"Is this... Meltlilith?" Elector Hyacinth, who also kept a distance from her, looked at the girl carefully and suddenly spoke.
Meltlilith, also known as Dissolving Lilith, is a servant in FGO. Unlike other servants who are sublimated through anecdotes and legends, Meltlilith is not a heroic spirit on Earth. She... comes from the moon.
In the Type-Moon world, in addition to the omnipotent anal-exploding Holy Grail, there is actually a very important prop, which is the Mooncell Automaton located on the moon. Although the Holy Grail is called the omnipotent wishing machine, it is actually not omnipotent. You can make your wishes come true through the Holy Grail, but there are rules and restrictions on the realization of wishes. For example, the wishes that can be fulfilled by the Holy Grail on Earth can only be based on the existing physical laws. If it exceeds this scope, even if it is the Holy Grail, it cannot fulfill your wish.
But Mooncell Automaton is different.
As the oldest mysterious object in the solar system, and as an automatic recording device that can realize a "quantum computer" with a magical concept, the Mooncell Automaton has been observing and recording all the creatures, ecology, history, and even souls on Earth since the birth of the Earth. As part of its observation, this thing also records many "what ifs".
If anyone gains control of this thing, then that person can manipulate it to realize all kinds of "what ifs", so Mooncell Automaton is, in a sense, actually an oversized Holy Grail.
However, this Holy Grail is closer to a computer program, with certain AI inside it, such as BB and Archimedes who was summoned to maintain the system.
Although in theory both BB and Archimedes serve the Mooncell Automaton, there is no direct evidence that the two know each other. How come Archimedes summoned Meltlilith, the advanced AI created by BB?!
Although he couldn't figure out the reasons, Elector Hyacinth didn't have much time to think about it on the battlefield. The most important thing now was to unite with Prince Cangdu and kill the enemy!
Just as the Elector Hyacinth was preparing to wield his katana to fight Meltlilith, Prince Cangdu, who had just turned around and was also preparing to compete with Meltlilith, suddenly changed his expression. He flipped his wrist, and while the katana in his hand made a defensive posture in front of him, his body suddenly disappeared from the spot and instantly flashed behind the Elector Hyacinth.
After a "clang" sound, Elector Hyacinth subconsciously turned his head to look behind him, and saw a huge golden claw resting on Prince Cangdu's Tang sword.
"Parsonlip?" After seeing the owner behind the huge golden claw, Elector Hyacinth's face darkened.
Things are...troublesome!
……
"You mean Meltlilith and Parsonlip?" Tony's expression changed slightly when he heard these two names.
These two servants happened to be delivered by Tony in his previous life, so Tony probably knows a little about them.
"The servant of SE.RA.PH appears here, you... should know what this means, right?" Rosa turned his head to look at Tony beside him and said slowly.
"Ah." Tony nodded: "This means... the biggest trump card in the opponent's hand is very likely to be Sesshōin Kiara!"
Chapter 652: The Saint from the Future
Killing Inner Kiara!
Anyone who is slightly familiar with the FATE worldview should know that in the FATE worldview, there is an existence called Beast, and this Beast refers to a great disaster rejected by human history, and is the beast of original sin known as human evil!
At present, apart from Beast II Tiamat who was taken away by Gvorst through some means, the only one who may exist is the fake King Solomon that Tony has always suspected is located in the Temple of Time, Beast I Goetia!
And Kiara Seshoin, or the Bodhisattva of the Happy Demonic Nature of Sumeru Spirit Palm, is Beast III/Rapture, the beast half that possesses the principle of "lust".
If Archimedes really invented this thing, then... things would be really troublesome!
"Speaking of which... Rosa, it was your idea that Gvorst took Tiamat away, right?" About three seconds later, Tony suddenly looked at Rosa and asked thoughtfully.
"I know what you want to ask." Rosa shrugged. "Yes, I ordered Gvost to take Tiamat away because I didn't think it was necessary to confront Tiamat head-on, especially since we knew Tiamat's weakness."
"Weakness?" Tony was stunned for a moment. He knew that his knowledge about Type-Moon was not as solid as Rosa's, so he... really didn't know what Tiamat's weakness was.
"Yes, although Tiamat is powerful, she has very obvious weaknesses." At this point, Rosa sighed and said, "As the God of Creation, as the soil that was once used to produce life, after the Earth's ecosystem was established, Tiamat was banished to the imaginary world as an unnecessary thing. As the mother of all things, although she was angry about her children being exiled on the grounds of 'I don't need you anymore', she also subconsciously thought that 'this is helpless'. The root of this thought comes from her fundamental desire as a mother to protect her children, and this fundamental desire eventually materialized and formed her unique skill, Self-Seal."
"...You mean, Tima thinks that everyone is her cub, so deep down in her heart, she doesn't want to hurt either the Mesopotamian gods or Chaldea who rebelled against her?" Tony touched his chin and asked with a frown.
"Mo Qilong!" Rosa nodded and said, "The essence of this skill is the embodiment of her desire to protect humans and her own children. I plan to transform Tima through this inherent skill of hers."
"...I always feel like what you're doing is not human." Tony rolled his eyes at Rosa.
The so-called war is either you or I die. It is very foolish not to exploit weaknesses and choose to confront the enemy head-on. Tony certainly understands this. He knows that there is nothing wrong with Rosa taking advantage of Tim's weaknesses to transform her, but... using the love from his mother to transform him... it doesn't seem like a human thing to do.
