My XX deal with Sister Nero

Of course Tony understood what Mary meant by this.

This group of slaves were basically Thracian soldiers captured by the Empire from the Thracian front in the autumn. Although these slaves did not necessarily belong to the same army, after staying together for several months, the slaves were almost familiar with each other's identities, and everyone knew who was an officer and who was a soldier.

Tony let them elect their own officers, which led to the most direct result that they elected the original officers to rule them according to what they had learned before. In other words, within a short period of time, they relied on Tony's orders to form a small group, a group that no outsiders could integrate into.

Mary was worried that this slave army would most likely obey the company commander instead of the Prince's orders.

"Don't worry." Tony chuckled. "I know they will stick together, but I also have ways to make them listen to me. Besides, even if they want to rebel, don't we still have a master?"

As he spoke, Tony pointed at the white-haired girl standing not far behind him.

"That's right." Mary nodded after looking at the white-haired girl with narrowed eyes.

Jie Luo is very strong, strong enough to defeat dozens of inner guards without any injury, and strong enough to easily slay a dragon in Britain. If these guys in front of her really go crazy and want to rebel, then I'm afraid Jie Luo alone will be enough to suppress the rebellion.

Therefore, he is not afraid.

At lunch, Tony received a complete roster.

"Are you the company commander they chose?" Tony asked, while eating mashed potatoes in a bowl at a makeshift dining table. He put the wormwood paper in his hand on the table, then carefully looked at the middle-aged man in his forties and asked.

"Yes, Your Highness." The middle-aged man bowed his head and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

interesting.

"Okay, you go down and have dinner first, then take a rest after dinner, and then organize the soldiers to set up the tents. From now on, this is your camp." Tony waved his hand, signaling the company commander that he could go down.

"Yes." The company commander nodded and immediately stepped back.

By the time Tony finished his lunch leisurely, there were more than a dozen tents of various sizes set up on the open space.

"It's quite fast." Tony nodded as he looked at the dozen or so tents in front of him.

Tsk, it seems that this group of slaves of mine were not a ragtag army in the past.

After clapping his hands and gathering all the soldiers, Tony said with a smile: "I said this morning that I would provide you with good logistical support, but in return, you need to train according to my requirements. Your tents have been set up, you have eaten, and you have even rested for a while, so now, it's time for you to train."

As he spoke, Tony took a half step to the side, and asked a female guard behind him to stand in front of everyone. He said with a smile, "Let me introduce you. This is my guard, Vibia. From today on, she will be your instructor. Come on, everyone, welcome her with applause."

As sparse applause broke out, the group of slaves looked at the young woman in front of them, who was wearing the armor of the Roman Guard, with a confused look on their faces.

What’s going on? A woman is here to be our instructor?

"It seems that these soldiers are not very convinced of you, dear Vibia." Tony grinned and said to Vibia with some ill intention.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will make them feel convinced of me." Vibia glanced at the slaves present with a cold gaze and said loudly, "From today on, I will be your instructor. I know that because I am a woman, many of you are not convinced of my soldiers, but it doesn't matter. Now I will give you a chance. If anyone is not convinced, you can stand up and we will practice alone. If anyone can beat me, then I can promise on behalf of Your Highness that I will give this person freedom!"

PS1: Let me tell you first, once I have found a part-time job, I will restore the amount of words per chapter. Otherwise, words per chapter means words for two chapters, and I won't have much time to update by then. Instead of showing you one chapter with words, I might as well show you two chapters with words.

PS2: I can understand that "插入" is a sensitive word, but where did Lu Si violate the rules? ? ? How many sexy words did Xueba invent that we couldn't imagine?

Chapter 99: Mom, there’s a pervert!

free?

Upon hearing these two words, the slaves present suddenly brightened up!

In the Roman Empire, slaves were worthless. If you were a pretty female slave, or a good gladiator, you would definitely be valuable. But for slaves like them who were only slightly better than ordinary people and were still men, the slave owners started to do wholesale business with them. How much do you think these people were worth?

Slaves can only marry slaves, and the children born can only be slaves. No one wants to be a slave without any human rights. They also want to be human beings, to be real human beings.

Having freedom is basically equivalent to getting rid of the status of slavery.

You have to know that within the empire, the Roman Legion is not a place where just any Tom, Dick or Harry can sneak in.

To become a member of the Roman Legion, you must at least be a citizen of the Roman Empire, and your height and other conditions must meet the requirements. Once everything is met, you can become a recruit of the Roman Legion and start your twenty-year service career.

During your service, the imperial government will pay you a fixed salary every month so that you can buy the items you need. At the same time, after your service is over, the imperial government will give you an enviable bonus or prepare a piece of land for you that is enough to support yourself for the rest of your life.

If you defeat the man in front of you, you will gain your freedom, get rid of your slavery and become a free citizen of the Roman Empire. In this way, your descendants will be eligible to obtain citizenship and become a true Roman citizen!

"Okay! Let me fight you!" A young man in tattered clothes stepped out from the crowd, his eyes fixed on Vibia.

"Interesting." Tony smiled after looking at the young man's muscular arms.

Vibia was from the inner guard. What was the inner guard? They were the elite among the imperial guards, and were responsible for protecting the emperor. If it came to a one-on-one fight, apart from humanoid monsters like Zero, it seemed that not many people could beat her.

"Not bad, you have guts." Vibia nodded: "Do you want weapons? Or bare hands?"

"Weapons." The young man said bluntly.

"No problem." At Vibia's signal, a guard not far away took out a wooden sword and a Thracian round shield and handed them to the young man.

After waving the wooden sword in his hand to remember the weight of the sword with his body, the young man held the shield in front of his chest, held the sword in his right hand, and pointed the tip of the sword at Vibia.

"bring it on!"

"Oh?" Hearing the young man's words, Vibia took the wooden dagger from her companion, and an interesting smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"This guy... maybe he underestimated Vibia just because she is a woman? Really, he is going to suffer a great loss." Looking at the young man in a defensive posture, Tony shook his head slightly.

Vibia shook the wooden sword in her hand casually, and a gleam of light suddenly flashed in her eyes. Then she swung the wooden dagger in her hand fiercely!

Seeing the wooden sword spinning towards his head, the young man subconsciously raised the shield in his hand to block his head. With a crisp sound, the wooden sword hit the shield hard.

Almost at the same time, Vibia took two steps at a time and came to the front of the young man. Taking advantage of the fact that his vision was blocked by his shield, Vibia squatted down and swept his leg directly, knocking the young man to the ground.

"You lose." Vibia clapped her hands casually, stood up, looked down at the young man lying on the ground, and said in a cold voice.

"Alright." On the platform, Tony motioned for Vibia to leave and said, "Now, I think you all have no objection to her being your instructor, right? Two months. You only have two months now. Within two months, I don't need you to master too many skills, but at least, I want to see that you can behave like a soldier!"

After finishing his dinner in the barracks, Tony left the barracks and returned to the palace. Just as he arrived at the palace and hadn't even sat down yet, he saw his door being roughly pushed open. Then Nero rushed in and shouted, "Brother, can you lend me your bodyguard named Jie Luo?"

"Ah? What?" Looking at Nero's anxious expression, Tony was a little confused.

"I just received a report that something happened on Crete." Ignoring Tony's somewhat conflicted expression, Nero picked up the water cup in front of Tony, took a big sip from it, and then let out a long sigh.

"I...I just used this cup." Looking at Nero's comfortable expression, Tony scratched his head and said.

Although I don't care, but in the Roman Empire...did they have the concept of physical contact between men and women?

"Ah? It's okay. This cup is placed on your table and you must use it to drink water. What's wrong with me drinking a sip of your water?" Nero said as a matter of course.

"It's okay... Sister, please continue. What happened in Crete?" Tony sighed. It seemed that there was no such thing as no physical contact between men and women here.

"Oh, OK." Nero nodded and continued, "This morning I received news from Crete. The governor there said that a young girl appeared in Crete. She was wearing silver armor and attacked several priests in Greek temples, saying that Greek gods were not worthy of people's worship. The governor of Crete also sent troops to capture this girl, but she killed dozens of people instead."

"So you want Zero to go and deal with this girl?"

Tony is not stupid, he has already guessed what Nero wants to do.

This girl is very strong, so strong that she can kill dozens of soldiers. Among the people known so far, perhaps only Zero can fight her. In order to prevent unnecessary casualties among the soldiers of Crete Province, Nero plans to borrow someone from Tony to defeat the mysterious girl.

"So why would this woman specifically target Greek temples?" Tony scratched his head and asked his question.

The Roman Empire was a country with extremely strong religious tolerance. Due to its vast territory, in addition to the belief in Roman mythology, there were many other religious mythologies in the empire. For example, the southern part of the Egyptian province still believed in Egyptian mythology, and many people in the Greek region still believed in Greek mythology.

Therefore, these places still retain some temples that worship local gods. For example, the province of Crete retains many temples dedicated to Greek gods.

But the problem is, from Nero's tone, this girl seems to only attack temples of Greek gods! Does she have a grudge against the Greek gods?

"I don't know about that. Hey, do you think it's possible that this girl originally admired these Greek gods, but then turned her love into hatred for some reason?" Nero blinked and suddenly spoke with great interest.

"...A dog who licks the door doesn't get a house?" Tony was stunned for a moment and replied subconsciously.

???

"Although I didn't fully understand what you said, I don't know why my heart tells me that what you said is very true." Nero touched his majestic breasts and looked at Tony with an innocent expression.

"Ahem, maybe the author was hurt by what I said." Tony coughed lightly and said, "Okay, I'll talk to Zero about this later."

As he spoke, Tony stood up and stretched: "It's getting late, I'm going to take a shower and go to bed."

"Okay, brother, let's take a bath together." Nero nodded, suddenly excited.

???

"Stop, stop, stop! Your Majesty! Your Majesty, hold on! I am your brother! What do you want to do!" Looking at Nero's excited expression, Tony subconsciously took two steps back, his face full of horror.

"I'm not doing anything. I'm just helping my brother take a bath." Nero had a smile on his face that Tony was very familiar with, and he looked at Tony expectantly.

That smile! That was Tony's perverted smile when he was secretly playing with butter at home in his previous life!

Mom, there's a pervert here!

"No need, sister. I'm old enough to take a bath by myself..." Tony swallowed. Although he was looking forward to taking a bath with Nero, he was afraid that he would not be able to hold down his gun and it would be very embarrassing.

"...Okay then." Nero curled her lips. She had originally hoped to promote the relationship between the siblings by taking a bath together, but since her brother refused, then forget it.

Sitting quietly in the marble bathtub, Tony breathed a sigh of relief.

After glancing around and making sure that there was no one else near the bathtub, Tony gently adjusted his balls and began to think about a problem.

Why did the girl on Crete attack the Greek temple?

Although the Roman Empire was very tolerant of religion, it was not so tolerant that it would not build temples of Roman gods in your city just because your city believed in Greek gods. In other words, the girl only attacked the temples of Greek gods, but the Roman temples in the same city had never been attacked. Why was that?

It's impossible that this girl was really a bootlicker at the beginning, and then found out that she had nothing in the end, so she started to take revenge crazily?

This is too damn real, isn't it?

But the question is, even if there is a religious bonus, why would this girl become a dog? Martha really saw the Lord, so she has always insisted on her faith, but what about this girl? It can't be because she really saw Zeus, right? And Tony can understand insisting on faith, after all, the big environment is here, but why did this girl who originally insisted on her faith become angry?

Or does she simply have a problem with the Greek gods?

Well, how about going to Crete yourself and asking them in person?

At this moment, Tony had no idea what kind of news this girl, who should have died hundreds of years ago, would bring him.

PS1: Thank you "Kiana, the Herrscher of the End" for the reward and the blade~ Thank you "Mo Ximo Xi" for the blade~

PS2: Please give me more recommendation votes and monthly tickets~

PS3: Oh my god, this is amazing! A few days ago I said I would find a part-time job to support myself, after all, I have no income in the next one or two months. Then I searched for two days and finally got a reply. Then I went to the interview yesterday, but no one was there. I called to ask, and they said they had something to do and asked me to go today. Then I went today, but still no one was there. No one answered the phone either. Tsk.

PS4: I needed to print an electronic receipt for a public account, so I found two printing shops near my home. One of them printed garbled characters when I downloaded the online banking assistant, and the other one couldn’t even log into the bank’s official website, saying that the website had a virus or something.

??? The official website of the Agricultural Bank of China, one of the four major banks, has a virus? Are you kidding me?

Then I went out these two days and found a few ABC branches to download the electronic receipt, but... two branches and one district business department, the three branches don't have printers... I'll just go to my sister's workplace to print it tomorrow.

Chapter 101 Heroes in Myths and Legends

After using his body to convince Nero to agree to let him go to Crete, Tony spent the next two days writing out his implementation plan for the new military system reform and the new training plan, and sent someone to hand it over to Vibia in the new military camp in the north of the city.

Although Tony had roughly told Vibia about his plan for the new army on the way from Britain to Rome, Tony had originally planned to train the army himself so he didn't go into too much detail. But now Tony had to go to the front in Asia Minor to command the war with Parthia. He couldn't train the troops himself, so he could only write down all the plans in his mind and give them to Vibia, asking her to train this small army of a hundred men on his behalf.

In addition to writing these training plans, Tony, who had already realized his intention to overthrow his sister, began to inquire about the marriage background of Claudius and Agrippina the Younger.

Since this matter was not a secret, Tony quickly learned the general situation from Nero's teacher Seneca.

At that time, Caligula suspected that the descendants of his two sisters would affect his children's succession to the throne, so he exiled his two sisters. After Caligula's death, his uncle Claudius succeeded to the throne. Claudius felt that although Agrippina the Younger was married and had children, but... but this niece was still very beautiful, so he decided to marry his niece.

I have to mention here that Tiberius, the second emperor of the Roman Empire, was not a descendant of Octavian, but a descendant of the Claudians. Octavian was a descendant of the Julius family, but his adopted son, Tiberius, came from another prominent family, the Claudians. Caligula and Nero's stepfather Claudius were both from this family.

Agrippina the Younger, Nero's biological mother, was a descendant of the Julius family. Her mother, Agrippina the Elder, was the granddaughter of Octavian. So when Claudius I married his niece, people not only did not think that the old man was a pervert, but instead thought that this was a combination of the Claudius family and the Julius family.

Therefore, if he wanted to overthrow his own sister legally and legitimately, in addition to conquering the Germanic region and building several orthopedic hospitals there, there was something more important, which was to raise the matter of overthrowing his sister to a political level. In this way, he would be able to ensure that he could naturally and legitimately let the emperor's sister take a maternity leave or something.

After finishing these two things, on January 6, Tony assembled his personal guards, took the handwritten order given to him by Nero, and headed towards Crete!

There are two routes to choose from when traveling to Crete from Rome. The first is to go north to the foot of the Alps and then turn to the Balkan Peninsula, then go south into Greece, cross the Aegean Sea, and reach Crete. The other route is to go directly along the Tiber River into the Mediterranean Sea and take the sea route directly to Crete.

Tony chose the second option.

After all, when I traveled from Macedonia to Rome, I took the land route. Now it’s okay to take the water route and see the scenery of the Mediterranean!

Then Tony realized that he was an idiot.

That's right, Tony gets seasick!

In his previous life, Tony grew up in the mountains. He didn't have time to go to school or work on weekdays and didn't have time to take a boat ride, so he... is seasick now.

"Ugh..." Tony vomited again while lying on the side of the ship. Ola came over quickly and wiped the vomit from the corner of Tony's mouth with a small piece of cloth. She said with some distress: "Your Highness, Corfu Island is ahead. Why don't we get off the ship here and walk a little by land?"

"Corfu?" Tony shook his head, which was already vomiting and confused, and stumbled into the cabin with the help of Ola. After taking the map of Greece from Zero, he searched on it for a long time and finally found the location of Corfu.

"The Epirus region..." Tony rubbed his swollen forehead and thought for a while with his eyes closed. "Send the order. The warship should dock at Corfu Island to rest and replenish the necessary resources. Also, send people to the shore to collect new information about Crete. I want to know the current situation of Crete."

Since leaving Sicily, the battleship Tony was on has not docked for more than a week. Now that he finally saw traces of land, Tony felt that if he didn't go ashore to take a rest, he might never be able to go ashore in his life.

That evening, Tony's warship finally docked on the west coast of Corfu. This was the first time Tony stood on land again after more than a week away.

After having a quick dinner in the small town on the island, Tony breathed a sigh of relief and felt that he should be in much better spirits now.
