My XX deal with Sister Nero

PS2: I have to go out for something in the afternoon. The zipper of my clothes is broken, so I have to go to the store. I'll also go to the bank to check. I don't know why my Pufa savings card is frozen, so I have to ask about the situation. I'll try to come back early to update. Well, if I come back early, there should be four updates today?

Chapter 148 Tony's Plan to Lure the Enemy (Additional Update 41)

"What did you say? Shoot?" Tony was stunned for a moment after hearing this verb, and then he quickly asked, "What weapon did the other party use?"

"Your Highness, it's a bow and arrow." The soldier felt the suppressed anger in his highness's tone and replied with a trembling voice.

"Your Highness..." Titus looked at Tony with feeling and opened his mouth.

"It seems that this assault team is most likely the same group that attacked General Vespasianus!" Tony gritted his teeth.

As long as you are not invisible, it means you can be seen. As long as you can be seen, you can always think of a solution!

With a gloomy face, Tony led Titus and others into the Chief Executive's residence.

The commander of the 25th Legion was attacked and his deputy commander was seriously injured. According to the relevant laws of the Roman Empire, if the commander of the legion cannot command, then his deputy commander will command. If the deputy commander also loses his command ability, then the captain of the first battalion will take command.

The current situation of the 25th Legion is that the captain of the first battalion is temporarily taking over the position of commander, and he is assisted by the legion staff and the legion flag-bearing officer.

To put it bluntly, the 25th Legion has lost a certain degree of combat capability. Correspondingly, Tony must find a way to get rid of that elusive infiltration team!

"Looks like... I have to set up a trap." Tony sat on a chair in the center of the main hall, tapping lightly on the table. If he wanted to lure this infiltration team out, the first thing he had to do was to lure them out. But if he wanted to lure them out... as a prince, he should be the best bait.

But the problem is, if he really wants to be the bait, then he will most likely be killed directly. After all, he is not Vespasian, and he does not have the intuition honed on the battlefield and in life and death situations. If the other party really shoots this arrow, then he will most likely die on the spot.

But who should I use instead of my own words? Titus?

I'm afraid not. Titus is still young, only fifteen years old now. He has been the commander of the Eastern Legion for so many days before Leonius arrived. The enemy's infiltration team would rather assassinate a legion commander than him. What does this mean? It means that the other party knows that Titus has no real power. Killing him or not is simply irrelevant.

But if I go on stage myself...what if I die here?

Just when Tony was at a loss as to what to do, there was a sudden sound of armor rubbing outside the door.

"Your Highness." As he spoke, Leus walked in from outside, nodded slightly at Tony and said, "I have settled the Second Legion, and also wrote a letter to tell Your Highness the strategic deployment and sent it back to Rome. I don't think it will be long..." When he said this, Leus suddenly recognized the voice, because he saw that his own highness didn't seem to look very well?

"What happened?"

"Ah... General Lius." Tony nodded and briefly told Lius about the attack on the commander of the 25th Legion. He also told him about his plan to lure and kill the infiltration team.

"I see." Lius nodded and said, "Your Highness's idea is very good. Since this infiltration team was able to assassinate General Vespasianus on the battlefield and assassinate a legion commander in the military camp, it means that this team was formed at great expense by Armenia or Parthia. The target of this team must be of extremely high value. This also explains why they chose to assassinate a legion commander instead of General Titus. After all, General Titus is still young and lacks a little bit of maturity in the overall strategic situation."

"Yes." In response to Lius's evaluation, Titus just nodded and didn't dare to say anything more.

After all, he was a general with more seniority than his father. Not to mention commenting on Titus like this, even if he commented on Vespasian like this, Vespasian would not be able to say much.

"So... I still have to play?" Tony said with a frown.

"No, Your Highness, even if you go as bait yourself, I don't think this team will attack you." Lius smiled and shook his head.

"Ah?" Tony was stunned.

what's the situation?

"The reason is actually very simple. Although Parthia is strong, they know that they cannot annex the entire Roman Empire in one fell swoop in this war, so their goal should be to gain a certain degree of benefits, such as occupying Jerusalem and the Anatolian Peninsula. With this goal, although Parthia is fighting with us, they will definitely try their best to avoid a war with the Roman Empire to the death."

At this point, Liuus paused and continued, "Parthia was originally a nomadic country, and the lords of all sizes in the country were constantly fighting each other. This war was essentially a foreign war launched to divert domestic attention. Your Highness, if you personally went to the battlefield and were accidentally killed by the Parthians, think about it, what would Your Majesty do?"

"My sister...will probably pick up a knife and chop off the Parthian emperor's head herself." Tony blurted out without even thinking.

I'm just kidding. Judging from the current situation, Nero already had a tendency to be obsessed with his brother. If he unfortunately died at this critical juncture, not only would the head of the Parthian Emperor Vologases I be in danger, I'm afraid that the heads of all the people in Parthia and Armenia would be in danger too, right?

"So, Your Highness, since the other side has a certain degree of understanding of the battle situation, they will definitely not touch you. They may capture you, but they will never kill you. Therefore, Your Highness, you are not the best bait."

"If even I'm not the best bait, then who is?" Tony scratched his head in confusion.

"Perhaps, the best bait should be the old minister." Lius smiled bitterly and said helplessly.

Huh? Tony was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized!

Although nominally, the commander of the entire Eastern Legion is Prince Odney, but anyone who knows a little about the situation knows what this twelve-year-old prince can do?

Therefore, the real commander of this Eastern Legion should be Vespasian and Lius, who served as deputy commanders.

Now that Vespasian has fallen and lost his ability to command, the commander of this Eastern Legion is undoubtedly Levi.

"Your Highness, let me be the bait." Lius said to Tony with a kind smile like an elder on his face.

"This..." Tony was a little hesitant. Although after analysis, Leius was indeed the most suitable person to be bait, but this old general...what if he died like this?

PS1: Thank you "墨白_毒" for the New Year's Goods, and thank you "忆樱星" for the Year of Fish. Your rewards... make me feel that I have set my reward too low again...

PS2: Okay, now it's time for the happy statistics. Currently there are 2210 total collections, 2339 recommendation votes, 190 monthly votes, 26240 rewards, 112 blades, and 34 readers. Including the extra chapter for this chapter, I owed 87 chapters before, and now... I owe 94 chapters in total. I rewarded book coins in one day. You guys are really... awesome.

Chapter 149: Two Dragon Slayers and a Demigod

If Tony goes up as bait, then apart from a rookie like himself, the weakest people around him are officers of the Royal Guard like Mary, not to mention Zero and Martha, whose fighting power is comparable to that of mythical heroes, and a serious demigod Atalanta. With this lineup, if someone wants to kill Tony by force, it is hard to say who will win.

But what about Levius?

Levius is old, and his fighting power is not even as good as Vespasian. At best, he is only slightly stronger than Mary. The combined fighting power of the guards around him may not be as strong as Tony's Prince's Guard. So if the other party really wants to go after Levius, then Levius... I don't think it will be possible.

"How about this? Let's spread the news this afternoon, saying that you and I will go to the 25th Legion together to learn more about the situation there. You will bring a team of elite soldiers, and I will bring mine. In this way, with the troops in our hands, we should be able to stop the infiltration team!"

Your Highness, you can’t do that! "As soon as Tony finished speaking, he heard Lius subconsciously say, "Your Highness, this is too dangerous for you!"

???

what the hell!

Tony was stunned for a moment, and looked at Lius meaningfully.

"General Lius, if the enemy won't attack me, then why am I in danger?"

"Your Highness! Swords and knives have no judgment on the battlefield. Although the enemy's target is not you, I am worried that if a stray arrow hits Your Highness, I will not be able to explain to His Majesty and the elders when I go back!" Lius spread his hands.

"Don't say that." Tony smiled. "Do you think I don't know that you are considering my safety? After all, the analysis just now is just an analysis. What if the enemy really wants to kill me? Right? I can understand General Lius's concerns, but this time... General, I have a temporary guard by my side who will protect my safety."

"Temporary guards? Your Highness, forgive me for being frank, but your temporary guards must be mercenaries. On the battlefield, the truly unreliable ones are often these mercenaries. Your Highness must not entrust your life to them!" Lius frowned and said earnestly.

Come on, in this era, mercenaries are probably more moral than the Royal Guards, right?

Besides, what's wrong with mercenaries? During the Sack of Rome 1,500 years later, it was the Swiss Guards, who were mercenaries, who protected the Pope and helped him escape from the Vatican. It was also because of this that for the next 500 years, the Christian Pope believed in no one except the Swiss Guards.

"No, no, no, they are not mercenaries." Tony shook his head and looked around cautiously. After confirming that there were only Mary, Zero and Titus in the hall besides Lius and Tony, he whispered, "General, you should have heard of my guard. Her name is Atalanta. Yes, the demigod Atalanta in Greek mythology."

???

"Your Highness, there are a lot of scammers recently. You may have been cheated." Lius laughed out loud. Are you kidding? Demigod? Guard?

How could a demigod suddenly appear in the human world and condescend to serve as a guard for His Highness?

Seeing the unbelieving expression on Leus' face, Tony smiled mysteriously and said, "You know Katniss, right? He's the one who caused a big disturbance on Crete some time ago."

"I've heard a little about it." Lius nodded and said.

"Kennis, do you know who it is?" Tony thought for a moment and asked uncertainly.

"Huh? Isn't he the one who caused such a commotion on Crete?" Lius was a little confused.

"Well... it seems that the general doesn't know." Tony shrugged. "Kayneth is a hero in Greek mythology. He was pinned to the grass by Poseidon... Forget it, you don't know this. Anyway, Katniss was pinned to the beach by Poseidon and forced to have sex with him. Then he made a wish to become a man. Then, because he was disrespectful to the gods, he was forced to have sex with the centaurs ordered by Zeus and buried alive. Now he has been resurrected. In order to take revenge, he is madly killing the priests of the Greek gods. Well, that's about it."

"A character from mythology?" After listening to Tony's simple introduction, Leus was stunned. If Katniss is really the Katniss from mythology, then according to this logic, that Atalanta might really be the real thing!

"And..." Tony smiled, glanced at Titus, and lowered his voice and said, "Although the Senate and His Majesty are both claiming that I am a dragon slayer, the one who actually accomplished the feat of slaying the dragon is the guard named Zero who was squatting quietly in the corner. In addition, the woman holding the huge cross cane is Martha, who used physical means to influence the evil dragon Tarasque in the southern Gaul province. In other words, in addition to the protection of a demigod, I also have the protection of two dragon slayers."

Two dragon slayers?!

Of course he had heard about Tony slaying a dragon. At first he thought it was just fake news spread by the Senate. After all, where in the world could you find so many dragons to slay?

Later, as more and more news came out, Lius realized that this little prince might have really slain the dragon!

The only question is, how did he do it? How could a little kid slay a dragon?

Now Lius understood that the dragon slayer was Tony's guard Zero, but since she was Tony's guard, the Senate naturally attributed the credit to her master, Tony.

And Martha... although she was a pagan, her feat of slaying dragons had long been recognized by the world. Plus, Tony was surrounded by the most elite guards arranged by the Emperor himself. With this lineup, the infiltration team might not be able to do anything to His Highness.

After all, not everyone can fight against a demigod and two dragon slayers.

"If Your Highness really insists on going, then... I will go and prepare now." Lius thought about it and finally nodded.

After sending someone to spread the news, they rested in the city for half a day. Early the next morning, Tony and Lius set out with their respective guards and rushed towards the headquarters of the 25th Legion.

"Lius?" In an unknown valley, a black-haired young man with a typical Asian face leaned lazily against a big tree, with a slight arc at the corner of his mouth, muttering.

Beside him, there were more than a dozen young men wearing light leather armor, sitting or standing. When these young men inadvertently glanced at the black-haired young man, they would subconsciously show respect on their faces.

Not to mention the legends that this young man carried, just his record of shooting Vespasian and killing a Roman legion commander, both the Armenian soldiers and the Parthian warriors had to bow their proud heads in front of this young man.

PS1: Thank you to "Holy War! Holy War!" for the reward of "Nian Nian You Yu" and "Ba Er Fu". Thank you~ Thank you for letting me owe you half an extra chapter~

PS2: The current total collection is 2212, recommendation votes are 2348, monthly votes are 190, rewards are 27628, blades are 112, the number of readers is 34, and currently 93 updates are owed.

PS3: You see, you guys give me so much motivation to update. I was planning to go to a comic convention with my friends tomorrow, but I decided to stand them down and stay at home writing. I have a college reunion the day after tomorrow, and I really can't stand it up. Well, I'll do three updates tomorrow, and use the extra time to write the manuscript for the day after tomorrow. At least I have to make sure I keep updating the day after tomorrow.

Chapter 150 Mr. Kamango

"According to previous intelligence, this Leius should be the highest commander of the Roman Legion now, right?" The black-haired young man said with a warm smile on his face while leaning against a big tree to adjust his bowstring.

"Yes, Mr. Kamango." A Parthian soldier replied with a look of respect on his face.

"Don't call me that." Hearing the soldier call himself "Mr. Kamango", the black-haired young man shook his head slightly.

"This is a sign of respect for you, Mr. Kamango. You are one of the people we admire most." The Parthian soldier still looked at the black-haired young man in front of him with respect and said.

The black-haired young man...or rather, Kamango shook his head helplessly and said, "Well, then according to the intelligence, General Lius should be heading to the base of the 25th Legion of the Roman Empire now, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Kamango. According to intelligence, in addition to General Lius, Prince Odeni of the Roman Empire also followed him to the 25th Legion's base."

Prince Odney? Kamango frowned and thought for a moment. This title... Kamango remembered that the intelligence seemed to mention this person, who was just a child under thirteen years old.

According to the above statement, because Parthia does not currently have the strength to annex the Roman Empire, it must try to avoid a life-and-death situation with the Roman Empire. In order to avoid this situation, if anyone on the front line encounters His Royal Highness Prince Odeni, try to capture him alive. Only in this way can the interests of the Parthian Empire be maximized.

"So, do you know how many soldiers and horses Lius and Prince Odeni brought together?" Kamango asked after thinking for a while.

"According to intelligence, these two have set out with their respective guards, and the total number of people should not exceed a hundred."

No more than a hundred people?

Kamango was stunned. What did this mean?

Is there a conspiracy? Or is he simply not taking his infiltration team seriously?

"Let's go and see how capable General Lius is." Stretching, Kamango said lazily to his companions.

Just as Kamango was about to assassinate Lius, on the other side.

"Your Highness, you seem to like reading some historical works?" Next to a moving carriage, an old man wearing high-ranking general's armor rode up to the carriage and said to it.

"Ah? It's okay. After all, apart from history books, I am not interested in many books here. What's the point of me reading drama scripts? Of course, I heard that Nerva is also writing a book? Otherwise, General Lius, can you help me get one?"

???

"Ahem." Lius coughed twice with some excitement. Nerva was indeed writing a book. Everyone in Rome knew it. Because Nerva and the emperor were good friends, the emperor often invited Nerva to some special places before he ascended the throne. Well, that's right, although the emperor had never gone in personally, he spent a lot of time at the entrance of these places.

Her Majesty is very reserved! How could she go to such an unhealthy place!

Nerva is a very interesting person. Not only did he have fun, but after returning home he felt unsatisfied and wrote an autobiography about his wonderful experience. He then compiled it and published it in a book. Yes, the best-selling Italian writer in Rome is Nerva, the founder of our great Antonine dynasty and the first of the Five Good Emperors.

"Well, Your Highness, I... don't have any books by Nerva, and Your Highness, you are still young and it is not suitable for you to read such books." Lius said somewhat embarrassedly.

"So you see, I can only read history books now?" Tony shrugged and continued to lower his head, looking at the history book about Greek history in his hand.

The 25th Legion's base is located east of Dacusa. If they set out from Kyria, it would take the group about four days to get there.

Well, according to Tony's calculations, these four days should be the four days when Lius is most suitable for assassination!

The guards, who already knew what kind of enemy they would face, were vigilantly monitoring the movements around them almost all the time. In order to provide the infiltration team with a good assassination environment, Tony and his group almost never stayed in the city. They basically chose to cross the city and camp in the wild. In this way, at night, they could give the enemy's infiltration team a chance to assassinate them.

In this way, Tony and his party walked in the wilderness for three days. During these three days, it could be said that everything was calm. Not to mention the enemy's infiltration team, Tony had never even seen a large wild beast.

"It seems that these killers are very good at hunting." Inside the carriage, Tony's mouth curled up into a strange arc. It was obvious that the other party also noticed his plan.

By passing through the city without stopping and choosing to camp in the wild, Tony was clearly sending a signal to the infiltration team: "I know you will come to assassinate us. Now I am standing here. Come if you have the guts."

Faced with such provocation, this infiltration team appeared to be very patient. They must be observing in secret now, like a snake, ready to stick their heads out at any time and deal a fatal blow to the enemy!

"It's been three days, Mr. Kamango, why haven't you taken action yet?" Late at night on the third day, in a small woods beside the official road, when Kamango was sitting on the ground leaning against a big tree and eating, a Parthian soldier quietly approached Kamango and said in a low voice.

"It's not that I don't want to take action, but there are experts around this Lius." Kamango sighed.

He should have thought of it earlier!
