My XX deal with Sister Nero
Page 232
"That's not what I meant." Josephus waved his hand to interrupt Sicari's words, and lowered his voice to say to Sicari: "I am not asking you as a superior, I am asking you as a friend, what do you think of this army?"
Sikari was stunned for a moment.
Like Josephus, Sicarius also came from the priest class. Because he was of similar age to Josephus, the two had been close friends since childhood. They played together and grew up together, and had already formed a very deep friendship. Josephus was of course very confident in this good friend.
"You... want to surrender to the Roman Empire?" Sicari frowned and also lowered his voice.
"...Yes." Josephus nodded. "Do you think we can really defeat the Roman Empire? Although we have 600,000 troops, and the Roman Empire can only mobilize 500,000 troops at its maximum. It seems that we have 100,000 more troops than them, but... can we really defeat the Roman Empire just because of these 100,000 more troops?"
"No." After confirming his friend's thoughts, Hikari shook his head and followed Josephus's meaning, "In the final analysis, our combat effectiveness is too weak. The so-called 600,000 troops are just a mob. According to intelligence, our army has assembled 200,000 troops in Caesarea, but what about Caesarea? The garrison is less than 10,000, and they have been fighting for several days but still haven't taken it down. What do you think of this?"
"And besides this, don't forget one more thing. Salome and the others chose to join forces with Christianity. Now they may be fighting for a common goal, but what about after the war? The Jews gained the Jewish province, which is a real benefit that the Roman Empire cannot take back in a short period of time. And what can Christianity have? The right to preach? But even if the Roman Empire does not officially take back the right to preach, they can still find ways to do bad things secretly, so by then, the conflict between the two sides is bound to intensify." Josephus analyzed calmly.
"So..." Sikari knew that his good friend had never been very interested in Christianity since he was a child. In fact, he seemed to care more about his future than his sense of belonging to the Jewish nation.
"So... my dear friend, do you have any ideas?" Josephus asked Sikari with burning eyes.
"If you really want to surrender to the empire, it would be best if you use this fortress as a token of your allegiance. However, the Roman Empire has only two thousand cavalrymen and lacks siege weapons. The only way to let them capture this fortress in the shortest time is to open the city gates and let them in." Sicari said after a pause.
"Let them into the city? It's easy to say, but... it may be difficult to do. We can't just open the city gate and let them in, right? Not to mention how many soldiers in this city are willing to do this, the most basic thing... even if we open the city gate, will they come in?" Josephus shook his head.
If I just opened the city gate out of thin air, the other party should be more or less alert and would not easily enter the city.
"Unless..." Josephus touched his chin and suddenly said, "Unless the other party knows that we intend to surrender. If they know our intention, then... they should be able to accept my surrender!"
Chapter 665: Secret Passage
Josephus put it simply, and it is indeed true.
If he used this fortress as a token of his loyalty and told Titus that there were a large amount of supplies that the rebels had stored for a long time, then he would definitely be able to obtain citizenship based on this merit. The only problem was how could he get this news to the Roman camp?
"...How about I launch a surprise attack on the Roman Empire's camp tonight?" Sicari thought for a moment, "Perhaps we can use this method to get out of the city and pass the message to the other side."
"But what about the gate? Even if you pass the message on, if the fortress gate is not opened, the Romans cannot be allowed in. What's the use of the message you passed on?" Josephus frowned.
"It doesn't matter. I have a slave at home who is a team leader in this fortress. According to the original plan, the team he leads will be responsible for guarding the gate in the second half of tonight. At that time, I can make an agreement with him to open the city gate and let the army into the city." Sikali suddenly spoke after a brief silence.
"This method is feasible." After thinking for a while, Josephus nodded, agreeing with Sicari's proposal.
……
On the other side, inside Titus’ camp.
Titus had not thought that he could capture the fortress. After all, according to estimates, the enemy had at least 5,000 people, and he only had 2,000 cavalry. If it was a field battle, he was absolutely sure that he could completely wipe out the 5,000 rebels, but for a battle to defend the city... it was better to forget about it.
So he decided to disgust the rebels and make them sleep poorly tonight.
A temporary camp was not that complicated. After setting up simple walls and tents, Titus and his generals gathered in the central military tent to plan the next move.
“General, judging by our speed, it will probably take us four days to reach the vicinity of Caesarea. Even if we do reach Caesarea, given our condition by then, we may not only fail to lift the siege of Caesarea, but may even drag down Caesarea.” A deputy general stretched out his hand and tapped lightly twice on the Caesarea marked on the map, and said.
"Then we have to go rescue Caesarea as well." Titus scratched his head in distress.
His original tactic was to harass the rebels' rear so that they would be forced to send troops to rescue them, thereby relieving the pressure on Caesarea, just as His Highness had done to the Parthian Empire.
But now it seems that his plan... seems to have failed. At least so far, he has not received any intelligence about any unusual movements on the front line.
According to the current intelligence from the front line, the defenders of Caesarea are no more than a thousand people, and the city may be breached at any time. If I don't rush to rescue them, then... by then, even my father may not be able to save my life!
"But..." The deputy general opened his mouth and was about to say something, but when he saw that Titus's face was not so good, the deputy general finally chose to shut his mouth.
Titus was of course aware of the current situation, and he certainly understood that if he rushed to Caesarea, he might be a burden to them, but at the moment, he had no choice. If he rushed over, he "might" be punished, but if he didn't go, he would surely die.
"Okay, stop talking. After arranging tonight's sentry duty, everyone should have a good rest." Titus said to everyone, waving his hand in annoyance.
"...Yes, General." Everyone present looked at each other, and finally had to bow slightly to Titus, as if they had accepted his order.
……
Late at night.
"Do you understand what I mean?" In a small corner inside Haraba Fort, Sikari whispered to a junior officer.
"I understand, General." The low-ranking officer who looked like a captain nodded.
After watching the team leader retreat, Sikali breathed a sigh of relief. What he had to do next was to wait for a while and then go out of the city to launch a "sneak attack".
Although the sneak attack was fake, in order not to expose his purpose, Josephus spent a lot of money on this so-called sneak attack.
Five hundred war horses and five hundred elite cavalrymen should be enough if the purpose is just to launch a surprise attack and harass the enemy.
"Everyone." After adjusting his helmet, Sicari came to the square in the center of the city, pretending to be relaxed: "I believe you all already know, right? Your mission this time is to follow me to sneak attack the Roman army station, but don't worry, this is not a very difficult task. After all, what we have to do is just to harass the enemy and make them unable to sleep at night, not to attack the enemy camp."
Having said that, Sicari paused, then glanced at the 500 soldiers present.
Sure enough, after these words were spoken, the expressions of the five hundred soldiers became much better.
Soldiers are also human beings. Although these 500 soldiers are elite, they are only elite compared to the other so-called "soldiers" among the rebels. They are elite, they are the elite of the National Army. They... at most have undergone a lot of training, and almost none of them have been on the battlefield.
So this was their first time going to the battlefield, and since it was the first time, it was inevitable that they were afraid.
After calming down the soldiers, Sicari jumped on his horse, drew out the dagger hanging from his waist, and raised it high: "Brothers, we must let the bastards of the Roman Empire know that we Jews are not so easy to bully. Everyone, follow me and attack!"
"Yes!" Following Sicari's voice, the cavalrymen jumped on their horses and followed Sicari to rush towards the east gate of the fortress.
……
After leaving the city with 500 cavalrymen, Sicari did not rush directly to the camp. Even if this action was a disguised attack, he had to make it look like a real attack on the camp.
"Everyone, split into two groups. Pay attention, the enemy may not have food this time, so we don't need to attack with fire. When the time comes, everyone just needs to shoot arrows into the enemy camp desperately. Do you understand?" Just as they were about to approach the Roman Empire army camp, Sicari suddenly lowered his voice and said to the two lieutenants behind him.
"I understand, General." The two deputy generals nodded, then looked at each other and commanded the cavalry to split into two groups.
However... it is obvious that these "generals" are all half-baked. Not to mention that they are not as good as Titus in command, even Tony, who is only good at talking big, is probably not as good as them.
At least Tony knew how to wrap the horse's hooves if he wanted to launch a sneak attack.
PS: I would like to recommend a post-apocalyptic novel to everyone, "I Traveled to the End of the World and Was Raised by a Zombie Girl". The reason I recommend this book is not because of how well it is written, but because of the protagonist's name [Funny], which sounds pretty good.
Chapter 666: The perfect ultimate weapon!
The sentries deployed by Titus easily discovered the rebels' traces.
There was no way. The noise of these stupid rebels galloping on their horses could be noticed by even a pig from 800 meters away, let alone a human. At the sentry's warning, countless torches rose in the camp. Then, countless soldiers raised their spears through the gaps in the wooden stakes that served as the wall to prevent the cavalry from getting closer.
"General, we seem to have been discovered!" Looking at the movements of the Roman Empire Army camp, a deputy general beside Sicari shouted to Sicari.
"I'm not blind!" Sikali turned his head to look at the deputy general beside him and said unhappily.
Of course Sicari saw the actions of the Roman Empire army, but... but he hadn't approached yet! If he didn't approach, how could he surrender to the Romans in the form of "being captured"? He couldn't be captured from a distance, could he? !
"We can't just give up like this. We have to at least rush over and shoot a wave of arrows before leaving. Otherwise, it would seem too cowardly of us to retreat like this." Sikali gritted his teeth, holding a dagger in his hand, and shouted to the deputy general beside him.
"Yes, General!" Although the deputy general cherished his life, he also knew that it would be shameful if he returned empty-handed.
Regardless of how many enemies you kill, you should at least fire a wave of arrows to show that you've been there, right?
After realizing this, the deputy general quickly ordered his men to draw their bows and arrows, preparing to shoot a wave of arrows at the Roman Empire camp.
They were fast, but the Roman cavalry reacted even faster.
When they were about to approach the main camp, the gate of the Roman Empire camp suddenly opened, and a cavalry team consisting of hundreds of people suddenly jumped out of the camp and rushed towards the direction of Sicari.
"This is..." Looking at the cavalry rushing out, Sikali was shocked and instantly realized that he had overlooked the most critical issue!
On their side were just a group of former National Army soldiers who could ride horses, while the other side was the real elite light cavalry!
"Shoot! Shoot!" Sikari shouted loudly while waving the dagger in his hand while hurriedly turning his horse's head.
"Om".
Following Sikari's voice, the soldiers hurriedly loosened the bowstrings, shot the arrows in their hands, and then turned their horses' heads and galloped towards the direction of Haraba Fort.
However, at this moment, Sikali seemed to be careless and fell off his horse at the moment his horse turned around.
"General!" Seeing Sicari rolling off his horse, the deputy general beside him was about to bend down and pull him up, but unexpectedly Sicari rolled away and said to the deputy general: "Idiot, leave me alone! Take everyone away!!!"
……
About half an hour later, in the military tent of the Roman legion camp.
"You...looking at the style of your armor, you should have been a general of the National Army, right?" Titus sat in the first seat and asked Sicari, who was forced to kneel in front of him by two soldiers.
"Yes, General, I wonder who you are..." Sicari raised his head and looked at Titus who was sitting in the first seat, and spoke.
"Me? My name is Titus Flavius Vespasianus. To distinguish me from my father who has the same name, people usually call me Titus." Titus looked at Sicari, smiled and said.
Father with the same name? Hearing this, Xikari was stunned at first, then reacted.
This person... is the son of Vespasianus, one of the famous generals of the empire? !
"So you are General Vespasian's son." Sicari bowed to him and said, "I actually have a reason for attacking your army this time."
"Isn't this nonsense?" Titus frowned. He was interrogating the general just to find out what the situation of the fortress was, but he didn't expect the general to start with such nonsense.
"Ahem, it's like this, Major General. My general has heard of your bravery and has always admired you. When he heard that we are enemies with you this time, the general specially ordered me to take the opportunity to inform you under the pretext of harassing your army. My general is willing to cooperate inside and outside to help the major general capture the Haraba Fort." Seeing that Titus looked unhappy, Sicari hurriedly reported.
"Oh?" Titus' heart moved after hearing what Sicari said.
From the tone of it, it seems that the general that Titus serves wants to use the Harappa Castle as a token of his allegiance?
"Then... why would you rebels deploy 5,000 elite troops in such a remote place, in this fortress that has no strategic significance?" Titus suddenly asked, touching his chin.
"General, to be honest, this is my... Oh, no, this is the last fortress of the rebels, which can also be regarded as the rebel camp. Here, Salome and others have placed a lot of supplies. Their plan is that even if they cannot defeat the imperial army, at least there is still a last fortress here to deal with, so..." Sicari said in a deep voice.
It turned out to be the case.
Titus nodded.
If a large amount of supplies were stored here, it would make sense for the rebels to deploy a heavy force in this fortress.
However, this so-called "general" wanted to use this as a token of his allegiance to the Roman Empire, which... is not so credible.
……
At this moment, in an unknown world.
"Director, it has been completely completed." In a building full of science fiction atmosphere, a young man in a white coat stood next to a middle-aged man, holding something like a document in his hand and said to the middle-aged man.
"I saw it." The middle-aged man nodded expressionlessly, looking at the perfect female figure through the huge projection screen in front of him.
"Are all the parameters set?" After a brief silence, the middle-aged man suddenly spoke.
"Yes, Chief. We have implanted simple friend-or-foe identification information into her brain. According to the intelligence provided by His Royal Highness the Elector Rose, the most troublesome opponent your majesty is facing now is the so-called evil bodhisattva. Judging from what His Royal Highness the Elector Rose said, your majesty may not be a match for the evil bodhisattva, so he hopes that we will use this ultimate weapon." The young man replied excitedly.
The Ultimate Weapon, this is the code name given by the entire research institute to this woman with a perfect figure. According to the analysis of the institute, this woman really deserves her code name.
In concept, she has achieved immortality, and even in the sealed state, she is comparable to the top servants. If this is not the ultimate weapon, what else can it be? And the most important thing is that the institute can control her to a certain extent through powerful scientific research technology, so that this powerful existence can help His Majesty to defeat the enemy to the minimum extent.
Chapter 667: Tiamat appears again!
Rosa is very strong, even to some extent, he is extremely strong.
In the world he was in, he was dubbed the "human nuclear bomb" because he really fought at full strength. With his current ability, he was enough to destroy the central area of a large city, just like a nuclear bomb, which could cause huge damage. Among the more than ten worlds he had visited, there were only two or three people whose combat power could be comparable to his.
So he never considered whether he would fail or what the consequences would be if he lost.
After all, the two or three people whose fighting power is comparable to his are basically in the same camp as him.
But the world Tony lives in is different.
In this world, Rosa is still very strong. He can kill the Demon Pillar single-handedly, but above the Demon Pillar, there are seven more powerful "human evils". These seven "human evils" are not something Rosa can contend with.
If you let Rosa fight Tiamat alone, then Rosa might only be able to last for a few dozen minutes, right?
And now, the institute has obtained information from Gvorst that his majesty's current opponent is the demonic Bodhisattva, one of the "human evils" that he cannot contend with. In order to protect his majesty, the institute must complete this project quickly and deliver this ultimate weapon to Rosa.
That’s right, this ultimate weapon is the Mesopotamian God of Creation, Tiamat, who is also one of the “evil of mankind”!
According to Rosa's plan, Gvorst used a disposable teleportation device to capture Tiamat, who was fighting Tony and others, and teleported her to the research institute. Because Tiamat has conceptually reached "immortality", there is currently no means to completely kill her, so the only way is to seal her up again.
That's right, use Tiamat's skill "Self-Seal" to seal Tiamat again.
Although she is the womb of all beasts and the "evil of mankind", Tiamat was once the goddess of creation and the being who created life. Even though she has fallen and become the womb of all beasts, she still has a wish in the deepest part of her heart, a wish as a mother to protect mankind.
It was because of this wish that Tiamat sealed herself away. Her purpose was not to harm humans or her own children.
After controlling Tiamat, the institute used some kind of brainwashing to lure out the person with this skill, forcing Tiamat to seal herself. While Tiamat was sealing herself, the institute implanted a new idea in Tiamat, that is, Rosa, Tony and others are the descendants of Tiamat, the real descendants, the children with the blood of God and her blood, and they are... the ones she must protect!
Now, everything has been completed at the institute. What remains is to put Tiamat into a cryogenic chamber, temporarily freeze all her physiological activities, and then have the two princes escort her to Tony's world.
"Is this the ultimate weapon?" In a hall of the research institute, Prince Lampado lightly kicked the coffin-like freezing chamber twice and asked indifferently.
