My XX deal with Sister Nero

"So? What is Kiara Sesshōin's weakness?" Tony sighed and asked.

"...There is no obvious weakness. The only way is to fight the opponent head-on." Rosa said, covering his face.

……

On the other side, inside the rebel camp.

"Four servants..." Looking at the four figures in front of him, Elector Hyacinth sighed.

Judging from the combined fighting power of these four servants, it is definitely not possible to say that they can definitely win against Elector Hyacinthus and Prince Cangdu, but it is unlikely that they can defeat Archimedes from under these four people...

"withdraw!"

Realizing that he had failed, Elector Hyacinth waved his hand at Prince Cangdu and gave the order to retreat.

"Things are getting complicated." After receiving the report from his subordinates, Rosa turned his head and looked at Tony, saying with a serious face, "Let's forget about the frontal attack. According to the report from Elector Hyacinthus, Archimedes has at least five servants under his command. Except for Little Dragon Lady, the remaining four are basically from SE.RA.PH. As for Gvorst, he forced Ramses II to retreat this time, so he will not attack Caesarea in the short term, so there is no need to worry about him."

"I've never been too worried about Rasul II." Tony nodded and said, "From the beginning, I never took the Kingdom of Egypt seriously. If the four pharaohs were all there, Egypt with four heroes would indeed be a bit tricky for me. But Nitocris is gone, Cleopatra VII has already joined the Roman Empire, and Iskandar is dealing with the Parthian Empire. There is only Rasul II left, but he can't do anything alone."

"So the focus is still on Archimedes." Rosa said: "La Er is now retreating, and Archimedes has four more servants. I think... I'm afraid we can only passively defend."

At this point, Rosa paused and suddenly said, "Speaking of which, Tony, how wide is the range of your treasure?"

"My Noble Phantasm... basically only covers Caesarea."

"That's still quite wide." Rosa rubbed his forehead and said, "At least we can survive today."

While Tony and Rosa were discussing, on the other side, inside the rebel camp.

Salome did not trust her allies.

Compared to the trustworthy Ramses II, Salome had maintained an attitude of distrust towards Christianity from the very beginning. So in the past two days, almost every time a battle broke out, Salome chose to let the Christians stay in the camp.

Christianity naturally understood that although it and the Jewish rebels were allies, in fact neither side fully trusted the other.

So from the very beginning of the rebellion, Christianity had a hard time.

You say you want to break away from the Jewish rebels and go it alone, but you don't have the ability to do so. You say you want to cooperate, but they don't trust you. What should you do?

Just when everyone was at a loss, the Christians met Archimedes.

"I think you all know the concept of servants, right? As it happens, I know a saint recognized by the Holy Church from the future. Perhaps you can get her help."

"Oh, by the way, you'd better keep this secret from Martha. After all, although she is a saint, she does not want to expand the influence of Christianity through war. Well, I won't say who is right or wrong, but at least you should know that your philosophies conflict with each other. If she finds out about this...it might be a bit troublesome."

"If... you can really bring back a saint from the future, then we will naturally thank you." These Christian leaders did not directly answer Archimedes' proposal.

"All right." Archimedes shrugged, then opened the door curtain and said to the outside: "Then... please come in."

Thanks to "ACL丶小苦" for the three razor blades and three packs of spicy strips. Thank you~

Chapter 653: Archimedes' New Tactics

There are two kinds of saints in Christianity. One kind is the saint determined in the early days of Christianity before it split. This kind of saint is recognized by all Christian factions, such as Martha.

The other type is a saint designated by a certain faction. This type of saint is only recognized by the faction itself. Other religious factions do not recognize this saint. For example, Anastasia, who was canonized as a saint by the Russian Orthodox Church in 2000, is not recognized as a saint by both Catholics and Protestants.

As we all know, in the Type-Moon worldview, in addition to the three known sects of Catholicism, Orthodoxy and Protestantism, there is also a Templar Church hidden in the dark and responsible for some dark things. The saint from the future brought by Archimedes this time is the saint determined by the Templar Church.

At this moment, Martha, who was in her tent, did not know that, besides her, there were two other Christian saints on the battlefield!

"So what you mean, sir, is to fight the Roman Empire?" A Christian leader asked in a low voice, looking at the saint from the future in front of him.

"Of course." The saint nodded and said, "In the future, the Roman Empire will inevitably be destroyed. We are just following the trend of the times."

"I understand." The Christian leader nodded. If the Roman Empire was bound to be destroyed in the future, then... their attack on the Roman Empire was just the trend of the times.

For Salome and others, this day was still a day of failure.

As mentioned before, in terms of numbers, after Tony unfolded his treasure, the number of British legions from the future he summoned was at least ten times that of the 25th Legion. In terms of combat effectiveness, this legion that had followed Tony in battles for more than a decade could almost compete with the Empire's most elite Guards. So under the protection of Tony's treasure, let alone breaking through a city wall, even the number of times the rebels had managed to scale the city wall was very limited.

Faced with such a situation, the morale of this rebel force, which was mainly composed of civilians, hit rock bottom in a very short period of time.

This kind of army composed of civilians is only suitable for fighting favorable battles. They are truly motivated. On the battlefield, such an army can burst out with combat effectiveness comparable to that of a regular army in a short period of time, but as time goes on, or if the casualties are slightly greater, the morale of this army will collapse instantly.

Yesterday, this rebel army faced the 25th Legion. The reason they dared to fight bravely was that they outnumbered the enemy by dozens of times. Although the individual combat capability of the soldiers of the 25th Legion was far stronger than that of the rebels, if one of them died, one less would be lost. The death of ten often meant that a considerable section of the city wall would be left unguarded.

The rebels' victory was obvious, so they were able to attack the city wall in one go and fight with the soldiers of the 25th Legion.

But today is different.

The 25th Legion hardly took any action today. After confirming that the rebels had begun to attack the city, the soldiers of the 25th Legion withdrew and were replaced by the British Legion summoned by Tony through the treasure to resist.

Then the rebel force encountered a fierce counterattack.

Due to cultural issues, in ancient times, almost every country and tribe had its own army with very strong characteristics of its own.

for example.

Because the Parthian Empire was a nomadic people, their tactics were more inclined to the methods of nomadic peoples. It was for this reason that their Parthian archery skills were famous all over the world. In contrast, the Roman Empire was better at teamwork. Compared with the individual bravery of soldiers, they were better at making sophisticated weapons and armor and developing better engineering technology to help the imperial soldiers win every battle.

Similarly, the British Legion also has its own unique characteristics.

The British Legion is a legion directly under Tony's command. Since this legion belongs to the Roman Empire, they naturally have sophisticated weapons and armor made by the Roman Empire, as well as excellent engineering technology. And because they are located in Britain, there are quite a lot of Celts in this legion.

The Celts were different from the Romans. The reason why the Celts were called barbarians at this moment was because their tactics were still based on personal bravery. Although in the future, the Celts in the British Legion had learned to fight in coordination under Tony's training, but considering the factors of the times, Tony still acquiesced in the Celts maintaining a certain degree of personal bravery in the barracks.

In addition to the Celts, the British Legion also has the Sarmatians who are very good at cavalry combat. So on the whole, the British Legion under the future leadership of Tony is almost as powerful as the Guards. But in fact, if the two really fight, the prestigious Guards may not be the opponent of the British Legion.

And now, because this British Legion is a treasure, its soldiers have obtained the attribute of "immortality". Therefore, if you want to defeat this British Legion, let alone the rebels, even the Roman Guards will be helpless in the face of this legion.

Of course, Salome also discovered the morale problem. That afternoon, realizing that morale had hit rock bottom, Salome decisively ordered a withdrawal, not wanting her troops to continue making unnecessary sacrifices.

"With five servants and a saint from the future Holy Church, plus the army we have now, Mr. Archimedes, what do you think is the probability that we can take this city?" In the central military tent, Salome sat on the first seat, looking down at Archimedes, and said calmly.

"It will be difficult to capture Caesarea based on the army we have now. Although we have more soldiers and generals, the quality of our soldiers and their combat effectiveness are no match for the enemy. In addition, the main force guarding the enemy's city are soldiers transformed by treasures. In comparison, it is almost impossible for us to capture Caesarea." Archimedes analyzed with a serious face.

"That makes sense." Salome nodded.

Although she was not a formal general, she had followed her father since she was a child and had learned a few things from him. She could see that with the troops she had now, it was impossible to capture Caesarea.

"So now, what we should do is not to attack Caesarea, but to cut off their retreat. While besieging Caesarea, we should attack the Roman Empire army that comes to rescue Caesarea." Archimedes suddenly spoke, touching his chin.

Chapter 654: Titus's Goal

To put it bluntly, Archimedes' tactics are actually to surround the point and attack the reinforcements. Judging from the current situation, in terms of high-level combat power, Caesarea has at least one servant, and more than four servants whose combat power is at least equal to that of a Heroic Spirit. In addition, this servant's treasure is to summon an extremely powerful army. It is very difficult for the rebels to break through Caesarea.

However, Archimedes discovered a problem from today's battle. That was the mysterious servant who deployed the treasure. Although the soldiers summoned by him through the treasure had repelled the attacks of the rebels several times, they had never fought back from the city. You know, not to mention some generals who had led troops, even Archimedes could see that on the battlefield, Caesarea had at least three chances to fight back. If they seized these three chances and rushed out of the city to fight back against the rebels, the Jewish rebels would face a complete defeat.

But Caesarea did not seize this opportunity.

What does this mean? It means that either the generals of Caesarea are useless, or... these soldiers summoned by the treasures cannot go out of the city to fight back, for example... they have a certain distance limit!

"If I'm not mistaken, the owner of this treasure should be Prince Odney?" After more than ten seconds of silence, Archimedes suddenly spoke.

"Prince Odney? Why do you say that?" Salome was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously.

"You should know that treasures have a certain degree of distance limitation. The coverage of a treasure may be very wide, but it is absolutely impossible to reach from the earth to the moon. Therefore, this treasure that summons the army must have some kind of distance limitation. In today's war, I found that Caesarea had at least three opportunities to go out of the city to counterattack, but they let these three opportunities slip away and did not choose to go out of the city to counterattack our army. This shows that the opponent's commander either does not understand and does not know how to seize the opportunity, or this treasure has a distance limitation, and the soldiers summoned by the treasure cannot leave the city too far." Archimedes replied.

"I think it should be the second one." Salome nodded, thinking that what Archimedes said made sense: "Even if Nero and Tony don't know anything, they have the commander of the 25th Legion. As the commander of the legion, he should know something about military command."

"So the reason why the Caesarea defenders didn't leave the city to chase us is because the activities of these soldiers summoned by the Noble Phantasm are limited to Caesarea. But there is one thing. If the Servant who deployed this Noble Phantasm is a Heroic Spirit summoned by the Suppression Force, then Nero and his men will definitely not let go of this opportunity to counterattack and let this Heroic Spirit lead the army to attack. But what if it is someone who has obtained the power of a Heroic Spirit? During the battle against Cefalu, I know that some people have obtained the power of a Heroic Spirit. If this Noble Phantasm belongs to Tony, then for the sake of his brother's safety, Nero is likely to forbid his brother to leave the city to chase us."

"Makes sense."

It is basically known to the world that Nero dotes on his younger brother. Regardless of whether it is the various rebel forces or other countries, they probably all wrote Tony's name in the column of Nero's weaknesses.

After all, for the sake of his beloved younger brother, Nero almost chose to let his younger brother inherit the throne, and she would be the woman behind his younger brother.

It's just like Egypt back then.

So according to Archimedes' analysis, the owner of this treasure is very likely to be Tony!

"But even if we have analyzed the owner of the treasure now, will it help us win this war?" Although she figured out who the owner of the treasure was, Salome was still a little confused and didn't know why Archimedes wanted to analyze this.

"Of course." Archimedes nodded meaningfully and said, "In this way, we can safely and boldly cut off the enemy's retreat and completely blockade Caesarea. Moreover, I suggest that the retreat route should be to block the road from Caesarea to the dock, and directly destroy the ships anchored in the port!"

"But...how are we supposed to destroy all the ships? We can't even fully deploy our troops at the dock, let alone destroy the ships."

"It doesn't matter. Just leave this matter to the heroic spirits." Archimedes replied.

The idea is correct to destroy Tony and his warships to prevent them from escaping to Rome through the Mediterranean Sea, but if you want to mobilize troops to destroy the enemy's warships, let alone whether the troops can be deployed, the very least, compared to the rebel camp, the dock is very close to Caesarea.

If this side really leads the army to attack the dock and burn the warship, then Tony can stand on the city wall and deploy his treasure to kill the rebels while ensuring his own safety.

Therefore, in order to destroy the warships in the dock, the army must be small in size and strong in combat effectiveness. Only in this way can the warships in the dock be destroyed as quickly as possible while being undetected.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Mr. Archimedes."

Just as Salome and Archimedes were analyzing the battle situation, on the other side, in a small town about twenty miles west of Uwini Castle.

According to Salome's estimation, the army led by Vespasianus should take a shortcut from the north and march towards Caesarea, so they deployed a large number of troops in the north. However, they did not expect that after receiving orders from his father, Titus led his army to make a big circle and go around to the east of the Jewish province.

"What's going on?" Next to the well in the center of the town, Titus looked up at the sky and asked the deputy general beside him.

"General, our army has collected enough food for three days in the past two days. In addition, our army has killed more than 200 rebels in the past two days, and more than 50 of them were seriously injured."

"Less than 300 people..." Titus rubbed his head very experiencedly. He had basically been walking along the eastern border of the Jewish province. After a round, he had only killed 200 rebels. What did this mean? It meant that they were very confident about their eastern region. It meant that they... had transferred all their troops away!

So where will the rebels transfer their troops?

"How long will it take our army to get from here to Caesarea?" Titus suddenly asked after thinking for two seconds.

"General, if we set out from here without stopping day and night, it will take about four days," the deputy general replied.

"Four days? By the time we reach Caesarea in four days, the flowers will probably have withered. So, pass on my order. Everyone, rest in this town for three hours, then advance thirty miles to the northwest and set up camp. I want to reach Harappa Castle within a day and a half!"

Chapter 655 What’s wrong with not having a girlfriend!!!

"Speaking of which... Rosa, I remember that Qing didn't seem to be married, right?"

That evening, in the governor's residence in Caesarea, Nero was lying leisurely on the sofa after dinner, and suddenly spoke.

"Huh?" Tony and Rosa subconsciously became alert when they heard this question.

Rosa was alert because he had been confused by this question before, and Tony was alert simply because as soon as Nero finished speaking, he suddenly realized that Rosa was staring at him with murderous eyes.

What happened to me?

"...I didn't." Rosa took a deep breath and said this almost through gritted teeth.

"That won't work." Nero sighed, and suddenly said enthusiastically: "I also kept an eye out for you last time. Lolita... I heard that it is a little girl under fourteen years old? This is easy to find, but the white-haired lolita you want is really hard to find."

"White-haired loli? Boss, you actually like white-haired loli?" At this moment, Alexi, who had just walked into the door, exclaimed in surprise, and subconsciously said loudly: "I was wondering why you don't have a girlfriend, Boss, it turns out you like white-haired loli!"

"I'm not a white-haired lolita complex!" Rosa glared at Alexei with gritted teeth and spoke word by word.

"Wait a minute, I remember that this Alexei came from a further point in the future, right? How old was he when you came here according to Rosa's words?" Looking at Alexei who walked into the room, Nero suddenly touched his chin and asked.

"I'm not sure how old he is exactly, but I remember he's in his forties or close to fifty?" Alexei came to Tony, looked at Rosa with a puzzled look on his face, then gestured to Tony, asking him to curl up his legs and sit on the sofa, and answered seriously.

"Fifty years old and still no girlfriend? No, Rosa. At fifty, the Empire has grandchildren everywhere. You are not a slave, how can you not have a girlfriend?" Nero said as he patted his forehead and said, "How about this, although it is hard to find a white-haired lolita, I can find you one of your lolita. After the war is over, you can get married here. What do you think?"

"Thank you." Rosa covered his face with his hands. He finally understood why his future self would send Alexi to this world as reinforcement to help him!

Nero knows the biggest secret of the Executor Organization and the common points of the Executors, so she cares for them. But the problem is that Nero doesn't know how to care for people. Maybe in her opinion, being nice to others is caring for people? So she dotes on Tony because of her compensatory psychology, and on the other hand, maybe it's because she doesn't know what care is.

She is now very concerned about Rosa and why Rosa has no wife. She guessed that her future self was annoyed by Nero because of this problem and so seldom came to this world. According to her character, she would definitely cheat other executors in the spirit of sharing happiness and suffering. In the future where Alexei is, all the executors were probably cheated by her. When they heard that they were going to the Roman Empire, no one would dare to come, so her future self simply sent Alexei over.

To put it nicely, newcomers need experience, but to put it bluntly... only this silly newcomer can be cheated.

"I know!" Just when Rosa came to his senses, Alexi, who was sitting next to Tony, suddenly patted his thigh and said, "The boss's focus is not on the loli. Look at his reluctant expression, which shows that the main factor he likes is definitely not the loli. I guess it should be the white hair. I remember when I first met the boss, the boss seemed to be talking to Brother Fifteen about how every time he saw a villain, he would say that Ah Wei was dead."

Bad friends? Ah Wei is dead? What the hell? ? ?

Tony scratched his head. He knew that Ah Wei was dead, that was AWSL, but what was a fox friend? What did this have to do with white hair?

"White hair?" Hearing this word, Nero touched his head: "As for white hair, except for those old ladies... But Rosa should not like these old ladies, right?"

"What do you mean by should? I just don't like it!" Rosa looked helpless. Are these guys toxic today? !

As the emperor of the Alpha United Empire, Rosa is a high-ranking and powerful person in the world he lives in. Although he is not very handsome, at least he is not ugly. If he really says that he wants to find a wife, there will definitely be a lot of beautiful girls throwing themselves at him.

But the problem is, Rosa believes that what he wants is a woman who truly loves him, not a woman who is after his status and money, so when he is in love with someone, he usually hides his identity, and then... Rosa was still single when he was in his forties.

All in all, this is a very sad story.

"Well... this white-haired request is a bit difficult." At this point, Nero suddenly paused and said, "By the way, who are those friends?"

Huh? When Tony heard Nero mention the word "bad friends", he subconsciously sat up straight.

Tony hadn't paid attention when Rosa and Alexi mentioned fox friends and dog friends before, because they meant ordinary friends, but when Nero said this word, according to Latin, the literal translation was more like "fox friends and dog friends". What the hell?!
