My XX deal with Sister Nero

"Hmph!" With a cold snort, Attila exerted all his strength and shook off all the arms that were trapped in him. Then he swung the Sword of the God of War in his hand and cut several arms around him into two pieces.

"Attila, the Demonic Bodhisattva, Tiamat, two human evils and a wandering star vanguard, if they fight at their full strength... I'm afraid they can blow up the entire Jewish province." Standing on the city wall, Rosa looked at the battlefield in the distance and muttered to himself.

"Then... isn't my brother in danger?" Hearing these three names, Nero subconsciously clenched his fists and asked.

"Of course it's dangerous." Rosa nodded, pointed to a small black dot in the distance and said, "Look, that's why he came back because of the danger."

PS: No update tomorrow...

Chapter 673 The Roman Empire’s counterattack!

"Phew, that's good." Nero finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that his younger brother knew there was danger and was running back.

She was worried that her brother would suddenly rush up to the enemy and fight to the death.

……

Tiamat's side was still confronting the other two.

In comparison, the strongest one at present should be Tiamat, who possesses the characteristic of "immortality", followed by the devil Bodhisattva, and as for the weakest, of course, it is the heroic spirit Attila.

After all, the heroic spirit Attila is just a clone of Cefalu, just a clone, how powerful do you think he can be?

"Hmph." Attila glanced at the demonic Bodhisattva standing in front of him, then looked at Tiamat standing not far away, and subconsciously tightened the sword of the god of war in his hand.

She could feel that the two guys in front of her were very powerful, especially the one with horns on his head not far away, who seemed... to be a god.

god!

Attila is a wandering vanguard, responsible for destroying civilization, and the gods... except for some gods formed through anecdotes and legends, many other gods are mostly the embodiment of certain concepts.

For example, Mars and Ares are the embodiment of the concept of "god of war".

Similarly, as the creator god in Semitic legend, Tiamat is also the embodiment of the concept of "creating the world", and Attila almost has an instinctive hostility towards the "god" formed by this concrete concept.

Tiamat also sensed a deep hostility from Attila.

"Interesting." With his vision far superior to that of ordinary people, Rosa naturally saw the silent confrontation between the three people. He also understood that these three guys, for various reasons, would not start an all-out war, at least... for the time being.

Although there won't be a complete all-out war, this doesn't mean that these three... won't fight.

"Hmph." After glancing at Tiamat and the Demonic Bodhisattva, Attila shook his wrist, exerted force on his feet, and while rushing towards Tiamat, the Sword of the God of War in his hand stabbed Tiamat's body without any fancy moves.

"Ah~~~!" Looking at the sword stabbing at her, Tiamat opened her mouth expressionlessly and began to sing in her bel canto style.

Along with this beautiful voice, Attila, who was about to stab Tiamat, was suddenly hit directly by a wave of air.

"Ugh." After suffering this sudden attack, Attila paused and subconsciously covered his abdomen and groaned.

"Hmph." Rubbing his abdomen vigorously, Attila looked at Tiamat meaningfully, then turned his head to look at the evil Bodhisattva who was standing aside and had not taken any action.

She knew that the power of her own heroic spirit was not enough to fight against these two beings that transcended the norm. If she wanted to deal with them, she had to use her own body.

Since we are no match for him, then... let's retreat temporarily.

Attila was not a pedantic person. As the future king of the Hun Empire and a wandering pioneer who destroyed civilization, she had some judgment. Since she could not win, she would definitely not choose to fight hard, but would choose to retreat temporarily.

Tiamat did not stop her.

Because of the transformation of the institute, Tiamat has only one goal, which is to protect Tony, Rosa and others, so she will not stop Attila's retreat.

"Oh?" Watching Attila retreat calmly, the Demonic Bodhisattva looked at Tiamat thoughtfully, then left with the other two servants.

"...It's over." Seeing the three big guys go back to their homes and look for their mothers, Rosa, who was originally a little nervous, finally put his mind at ease.

……

For the Roman Empire, the Battle of Caesarea was finally over, but for the Jewish rebels, the counterattack from the Roman Empire had just begun.

Less than an hour after these hundreds of thousands of troops left Caesarea, they encountered a Roman legion that looked a little tired but still full of energy.

"Vespasianus!" Looking at the middle-aged man surrounded by many guards in the center of the legion, Archimedes' expression suddenly changed and he exclaimed subconsciously.

"Alterego! BB! Stop the enemy quickly!" Looking at the elite Roman army in front of him, Archimedes shouted subconsciously.

If they charge over, then the rebels under my command...are no match for them at all!

However, just as the two servants were about to jump out of the crowd and attack the Roman Empire army, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them.

"You... let me be your opponent." Martha stood in front of the two servants and said calmly.

"Saint..." Seeing Martha's actions, the faces of the Christians in the army suddenly turned ugly.

Although Christianity and Judaism have enmity, they essentially share the same origin, so when facing the Roman Empire, the two religions chose to join forces.

But as a Christian saint, Martha...what is this all about?

Archimedes didn't know what Martha wanted to do, but he could see what Vespasianus on the opposite side wanted to do.

Because of the spies, Vespasian was able to detect the movements of the rebels first, so when the two armies met, the Roman army led by Vespasian was already on full alert, ready to take action.

"Archers! After three rounds of arrows, infantry will move forward! Target, the rebel center!"

Vespasianus sat upright on horseback, waving the whip in his hand, pointing at the rebel center not far away and spoke loudly.

"Yes!" Following the orders from their respective captains, the archers began to draw their bows and arrows, shooting round after round of arrows at the rebels.

"The army disperse!" Seeing the archers on the opposite side starting to draw their bows and arrows, Salome became anxious and ordered the troops to disperse, attempting to minimize the losses of her soldiers as much as possible through such means.

However, all this... was exactly what Vespasian was planning.

"Order, Numidian Light Cavalry, attack!"

As we all know, the Roman Empire's heavy infantry is unparalleled in the world. From its founding to the present, the Roman Empire has attached great importance to its heavy infantry. Correspondingly, the Roman Empire did not pay much attention to auxiliary arms such as cavalry and archers, especially cavalry. In the entire Roman Empire, there was a legion of 5,000 people, of which the cavalry... was only 300 people.

The legionary cavalry was not large enough, and there was no independently organized cavalry corps. In the past, the Roman Empire was troubled by its inability to pursue the enemy and completely annihilate the enemy, until... they defeated the Kingdom of Numidia and completely incorporated the cavalry of this country. Then the Roman Empire finally had barbarian cavalry that was its vassal.

Chapter 674: Salome's Defeat

Salome, who came in a hurry, had no idea that Vespasian had set up an ambush here in advance and deployed a cavalry unit of more than a thousand people in the woods nearby.

When more than a thousand Numidian light cavalry rushed out from her right wing, even Salome, who didn't know much about military affairs, knew that she would be in big trouble this time!

Under the division of more than 1,000 light cavalry, nearly 100,000 infantry on the rebel right wing were out of formation, and many soldiers even threw away their weapons and armor in order to save their lives and chose to leave the rebel camp.

These Jews participated in the rebellion not because they had lofty ideals to revive the great Jewish Kingdom of Israel. To put it bluntly, the fundamental reason they participated in the rebellion was that they could not stand the oppression and exploitation of Governor Florus.

Their purpose in participating in the Jewish rebellion was simply to make a living.

Seeing that her right wing was collapsing, Salome acted decisively and ordered her troops to abandon the collapsed right-wing soldiers and the Christians who were no longer worthy of full trust, and planned to lead the army to forcibly break through Vespasian's blockade.

"Hmm?" Looking at the rebels who were rushing towards him desperately, Vespasianus frowned subconsciously.

Although the rebels are weak, they are numerous. They are weak because they lack corresponding combat effectiveness and do not have a target that can stimulate their desire to fight. For example, the reason why they have not been able to capture Caesarea is not only because Caesarea itself is quite strong, but also because the rebel soldiers do not have much enthusiasm for capturing Caesarea.

If they could vent some anger by attacking Jerusalem and capturing Florus alive, then what could they gain by attacking Caesarea?

But it is different now.

It can be seen from the ferocious expressions of the rebel soldiers who were charging forward that this time the rebels were charging with a risk-taking attitude.

"It seems that Salome should have said that the only way to survive is to rush forward?" Vespasianus touched his chin and muttered.

A group of rabbis is not scary, but a group of rabbis rushing forward for their lives. In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, Vespasian ordered the army to split in the middle and allow the large enemy force to pass through.

"General..." Seeing Vespasian's actions, a recorder accompanying the army frowned and looked at Vespasian with a puzzled look.

"In order to survive, who knows how much potential they can unleash? Instead of fighting the enemy to the death here and increasing the casualties of our own soldiers, it is better to let them go and follow behind them to bite them from time to time." Vespasianus waved his hand with a smile and said to the recorder.

……

After leaving several lieutenants to lead the army to hunt down the rebels, Vespasianus came to the city of Caesarea with a group of personal guards.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, I am late in coming to your rescue. Please forgive me, Your Majesty and Your Highness!" As soon as he stepped into the lobby of the Governor's residence, Vespasianus looked at Nero and Tony who were sitting in the first seats. He knelt on one knee without hesitation, stroked his chest with his right hand, and said to the two of them.

"Long time no see, General Vespasian." Tony stood up and walked to Vespasian, who was kneeling in front of him. He stretched out his hand to help him up from the ground and said happily, "Actually, you are not too late. At least... Caesarea has not fallen yet, right?"

"Uh..." Vespasianus opened his mouth, but the complaint was stuck in his throat and he couldn't cough it out or swallow it. People who knew him would think he wanted to complain but didn't dare to, while those who didn't would think he had chronic pharyngitis.

How can you talk like that?! What do you mean Caesarea hasn't fallen yet?! My little ancestor! If Caesarea falls, I'll just cut my throat with a sword!

"Ahem, Your Highness, I don't know... I don't know if Your Highness has seen my son? I looked carefully when I entered the city just now, but I didn't seem to see my son." Vespasianus coughed lightly and said with some surprise.

"Your son? Titus?" Tony was stunned for a moment: "As far as I know, isn't General Titus with you?"

???

Vespasianus' heart sank when he heard Tony's answer.

Titus didn't come into town? Didn't even show up in Tony's sight? If that was the case, then... where was Titus?

……

Inside Harappa Fort.

At this moment, our second emperor of the Flavian dynasty, Titus, the eldest son of Vespasian, was indulging in delicious food.

Titus, who has been in the army for several years, is not incapable of enduring hardships, but... now that there is something delicious, why not take the opportunity to enjoy it?

Under the leadership of Titus, the two thousand cavalrymen did not neglect their daily training, and they basically lived a life of delicacies from land and sea every day.

A lot of fun!

After spending a few days in the Harappa Castle, early one morning, Titus, who was still asleep, suddenly received a report from his personal guards.

"General, according to the spies' report, His Highness mobilized a divine army to leave the city and defeated the rebels. The Jewish rebels were ambushed by General Vespasianus on the way and have suffered heavy losses. The spies estimate that they should only have 40,000 to 50,000 people left. And based on their retreat route, the rebels... seem to be moving towards the Haraba Castle."

"Come towards us?" Titus was stunned for a moment, then he subconsciously turned over and sat up from the bed and said, "Quick, pass the order, the army is ready, order the spies to confirm first to see if there are our troops behind the enemy!"

"Yes!" The guard took a deep breath, bowed slightly, and left the room.

The rebels are coming!

When the news spread throughout the fortress, almost all the soldiers took action.

Although these Roman soldiers were light cavalry and did not have corresponding infantry equipment, fortunately there were a lot of equipment in the city. Under the supervision of each captain, these cavalrymen came out of the camp one after another, changed into the infantry uniforms in stock, and began to arrange rolling logs and stones to prepare for defense against the invading enemy.

On the other side, the Jewish rebels.

The news of Salome's failed attack on Caesarea quickly spread throughout the entire Jewish province. In view of her defeat, many rebel generals who had originally planned to support Salome almost unanimously chose to wait and see for the time being, wanting to know what Salome would do next, and by the way, they also wanted to judge their next move from it.

Chapter 675: Battle of Harappa Fort

There are many Jews, but not every Jew wants to restore the Jewish Kingdom of Israel.

In the final analysis, some people felt that there was nothing wrong with the Jewish province under the rule of the Roman Empire, some people had a certain degree of confidence in the arrival of His Royal Highness Prince Odenis, and some people simply disliked Florus. All these reasons led to the disunity of the Jewish rebels. It was precisely because of the disunity that the rebel forces from all over the country did not come to rescue Salome in the first time. Even when Salome was retreating to the Haraba Castle, the rebel forces of all sizes along the way almost avoided her as much as possible and tried to keep themselves out of trouble.

In this way, with 50,000 Roman troops following behind, the Jewish rebels led by Salome gradually approached the Haraba Castle.

"Your Highness, we have arrived at Harappa Fort."

That afternoon, after traveling all day, Salome finally heard some good news from her deputy general. Looking at the still blurry fortress in the distance, Salome finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hurry, send people to the fortress as fast as possible and order the fortress defenders to open the city gate and let us in!" Looking at the deputy general beside her with a tired face, Salome forced herself to give the order.

"Yes, Your Highness!" After receiving the order, the deputy general immediately ordered his subordinates to send out several cavalrymen, who galloped towards the fortress.

"Is the Roman Empire still following us?" After watching several cavalrymen break away from the main force and run towards the fortress, Salome first turned her head to look at the rear of the army, and then asked the deputy general.

"Your Highness, the Romans... have been following us about five miles behind." The deputy general nodded bitterly and said to Salome.

"Wuloli... tell the army to speed up. If you want to survive, speed up and try to reach the fortress before dark!" Salome ordered with a somewhat cold expression.

……

the other side.

Tony, who noticed something wrong from Vespasian's words, finally understood after further questioning that a few days ago, Vespasian sent a cavalry unit led by Titus to break away from the main force and come to support Caesarea. Although this cavalry unit was small in number, Vespasian's original intention was to let them operate on the periphery to attract the attention of the rebels and thus reduce the pressure on Caesarea.

But it is clear that Titus did not seem to have reached the city of Caesarea.

Then the problem is coming.

Where is Titus?

Considering that Titus might be in danger, Tony decided to ask Rosa to go out and recall 50,000 troops first, and then disperse these 50,000 troops to see if they can find the whereabouts of Titus.

So, Rosa spent several days and finally found the location of the Roman army responsible for pursuing Salome. At noon that day, Rosa landed in the marching team with Tony's order and conveyed Tony's intention to the general.

"This..." After receiving the order, the general looked at the front of the troops with a conflicted look on his face. He knew that there was a very exhausted army five miles ahead. If he defeated this army, he would undoubtedly become the general with the most outstanding military achievements in this battle... On the one hand, there was the military merit that was within his grasp, and on the other hand, there was his boss's son. The general did not want to give up the military merit that was within his grasp, and he also... did not want anything to happen to his boss's son.

Just when the general was struggling, suddenly, one of his guards pushed aside the others and came in front of him, kneeling on one knee and said, "General, there are two men who claim to be General Titus's men, and they want to see you."
