My XX deal with Sister Nero

This era is not the era of "civilized people" where Tony lived before. The legal constraints are not that strong. Once the war breaks out, there are no so-called laws prohibiting harming civilians. In this era, being defeated in the war and being massacred is as common as eating.

After taking off the cloak of a "civilized man", Tony's suppressed temper finally became active again, and his unruly blood began to awaken. What? Can't beat him? Tsk, can't beat him, it's just a death!

Not long after the gate was closed, shouts and screams were heard from the town gate.

The defenders of this small town consisted of only a hundred-man team, with only sixty people. Sixty militiamen faced three hundred elite light cavalry. After just one encounter, the defenders of Ximu Town were defeated, and the number of casualties reached thirty in almost an instant!

I have to say, the garrison commander of this small town is a complete idiot.

As a large town, Ximu Town has city walls and gates. Although the city defense facilities are not perfect, once the city gates are closed and the militia is deployed on the city walls, although it cannot repel the enemy, it is more than enough to defend the town. Although the city wall is not too high, at least your warhorse cannot jump up. If you can't jump up, without the cooperation of infantry, what can your cavalry do? Can you force your way in by banging your head against the wall?

There are still ten more chapters... I will try to write two more chapters today. Goodbye.

Chapter 14: The One-Punch Saint

But the garrison commander only had one move, which was to send out his troops to form a traditional Roman infantry phalanx, and then... they were ruthlessly pierced through by the enemy's light cavalry.

However, a hundred infantrymen of sixty men were no match for three hundred cavalrymen. After leaving twenty cavalrymen to clean up the mess, the cavalry commander led the rest of the large force into the town.

How much defense does this town have now?

Young people with fighting ability have been recruited to form the National Army and sent to the front line to fight. Now that the enemy cavalry can break through, there is no doubt that the front line must have been defeated, and the town’s defense force, that is, the militia organization is now estimated to be a pile of corpses.

So, is there any defense left? The answer is no.

Tony is not stupid, he knows what is going to happen next!

The three barbarian armies broke into the heart of the Macedonian province. It was impossible for them to occupy these places. Even if they could occupy them at that time, the Roman legions coming from other areas would definitely not let them go.

So the most likely possibility is plunder.

Take away the necessary food, property and slaves, and then retreat quickly.

"Sister Tita, Aunt Sevilla, you must hide well. If you get caught..." Tony gritted his teeth and said to the door behind him.

He is gambling!

He traveled through time inexplicably, there must be a reason. At the very least, he should have the halo of a protagonist. The law of the protagonist's immortality is fooling him!

Oops, there was a typo above, please try again.

The protagonist's law of immortality protects him!

However, Tony did not have time to sacrifice himself.

After the town lost its defense, the cavalrymen dismounted and began to rob and massacre house by house. However, what they didn't expect was that the robbery and massacre didn't last long before the cavalrymen encountered a ruthless guy.

After one of the cavalrymen kicked open the door of a house with a dagger in hand, what came into his sight was a purple-haired girl, the dragon-slaying Saint Martha.

She can even kill a dragon, so it is no pressure for Martha to deal with an ordinary human being.

So Martha used the cross as a baseball bat and hit a huge home run.

An ancient poem says: Why don't you ride on the wind and soar up to 90,000 miles?

So the lovely barbarian soldier flew up into the sky, shoulder to shoulder with the sun.

"Oh shit!" Seeing the girl perform a beautiful home run, several nearby soldiers put away their swords without thinking, then pulled out a pistol from their backs, aimed at the girl and threw it hard!

Faced with several pistols thrown at her, Martha did not panic. She just turned slightly and hid directly in the house.

The javelins either got stuck in the door frame or flew through the door and stabbed into the opposite wall.

This cavalry unit moved lightly with the purpose of harassing inland areas. They did not carry many javelins. Even if they did, they had almost used them all in the several towns they had encountered before.

"Kill!" Led by a cavalryman, the dismounted cavalrymen drew their daggers again and rushed into the room.

Then there is no more...

In fact, Tony knew that if Martha was holding the cross cane, it would be fine, as her fighting power was still sealed. Once she put down the cane... Martha, the Iron Fist Saint, would probably surpass a certain person known as the Invincible Iron Fist in terms of boxing...

Tony knew it but others didn't. At this time, Martha happened to put down her cane again, so Tony, who was holding a pitchfork and on full alert, heard the roar of an angry dragon in a trance. Then, the shadow of a dragon that looked like a turtle suddenly appeared in the direction of the city gate!

"Shit, could this be the Tarasque?!" Tony was completely shocked. The shadow of the Tarasque popped out. This Iron Fist Saint might have gone crazy!

Then, Tony heard a muffled sound, followed by a shaking of the ground, and a crack appeared on the wall of the yard.

...I won’t say any more. This must be the effect of “Iron Fist Judgment”.

As a futanari with the largest treasure that can capture 300 people, and the barbarian cavalry here had just rushed into the town and had not yet completely dispersed, the invincible Iron Fist Saint Martha knocked down more than a hundred people in a very short time.

"Is this... still a human?" Looking at his colleague lying on the ground covered in blood, a barbarian cavalryman was so scared that he couldn't hold the sword steadily.

Killing hundreds of people by one person in a very short period of time is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, especially the phantom just now. It is a bit of a stretch to say that the monster is a dragon, but it is definitely a monster!

"Kick these bastards off our land!" At this moment, the gate of the courtyard of the long house in the center of the town was opened, and an old man wearing light leather armor rushed out, waving a dagger in his hand, and rushed towards the cavalry.

Behind the old man, several heavily armored infantrymen also chased out. After seeing the enemy, these heavily armored infantrymen held shields in their left hands and nine-foot-long spears in their right hands and rushed towards the cavalry!

"Spartan heavy infantry!" After seeing the outfits of those infantrymen, the barbarian cavalrymen were terrified. If they were riding on horses, they would not be afraid of their opponents, but now they were standing on the ground, wearing light leather armor, holding short swords, with poor defense and weapon length, and there was a man with an invincible iron fist next to them. How could they fight? ! Run away!

"Retreat!" The cavalry commander saw that the morale of his men was unsettled and without time to think, he quickly issued the order to retreat.

"Aunt!" Tony heard the noise coming from outside the yard and knew it was time to punish the fallen dog. He let out a strange cry, suddenly opened the gate of the yard, and chased out with a pitchfork.

Upon hearing the enemy commander's order to retreat, many men, women, and children in the town chased out and drove the cavalry unit a mile away before stopping.

No one expected that this cavalry unit would capsize in a ditch. After this war, Ximu Town reaped rich rewards, seizing more than 200 war horses, two military flags, more than 120 sets of armor, and more than 150 weapons.

There is not much time left for Ximu Town!

The old man who rushed out was none other than Oulus, the mayor of Ximu Town.

Aulus first glanced at Marda, then at Tony, and finally at the crowd slowly gathering towards the central square of the town, and said, "Everyone! Just now, a Thracian cavalry attacked our home. Although under our heroic counterattack, this Thracian cavalry was so flustered that they fled without even riding their horses, but barbarians are barbarians, and they are not as magnanimous as us Romans. So I think that when they come back next time, they will definitely bring more troops and use more brutal means to destroy our homes and capture our wives and daughters. So, I decided that tomorrow morning, everyone will go to the big city of Thessalonica in the south for refuge."

At this point, Olus paused for a moment before continuing, "Before that, I want to praise two people. One is Martha. The reason why we were able to survive this time was largely because of Martha's punch. The other is Tony. He set an example for us. When facing the enemy, we should pick up the weapons in our hands and fight back against the opponent. Even if we die, we must bite off a piece of the opponent's flesh! For Rome!"

...Another update, I understand, I still owe 11 updates

Chapter 15: Run away!

Oh, I was praised!

Tony nodded contentedly at first, then spat lightly on the ground when no one was paying attention.

What’s the use of a verbal reward?

But then again, Martha killed over a hundred enemies on her own, so the Roman Empire would definitely reward her and maybe even inform the whole country to boost morale.

A woman can kill over a hundred enemies. Are you men not even as good as women?

In contrast, Tony just rushed out and took the lead. What else could he get except verbal rewards? Oh, if he was lucky, maybe the mayor would give him three or five gold coins if he was happy.

"If I had known this earlier, I would have shouted "I will lead the charge" when I jumped out." After the meeting, Tony returned home, feeling a little depressed.

Anyone would be unhappy if they didn't get any benefit.

"Brother," at this moment, Tita suddenly came to Tony and said seriously, "Promise your sister that you will never do such dangerous things again, okay?"

Seeing Tita's worried look, Tony sighed inwardly and said, "Okay, sister, I understand."

To be honest, it was indeed extremely dangerous for Tony to rush out this time. After all, the enemy still had more than 20 cavalrymen who had not dismounted. If they had not been scared, a direct charge from these 20 people alone would have been enough to turn the town into a river of blood, and Tony, who rushed in first, would definitely have died!

Well, anyway, the first danger Tony encountered in this world has passed, but the second danger is about to come.

Thessalonica, a large city in the Roman Empire, was located on the coast of the Aegean Sea, south of the Kingdom of Thrace. If it advanced, it could attack the Kingdom of Thrace; if it retreated, it could board a ship, enter the Aegean Sea, and retreat to Achaia or Crete.

For the Kingdom of Thracian, occupying this place is basically equivalent to controlling an outlet to the Aegean Sea. The four provinces of the Roman Empire around the Aegean Sea may face attacks at any time.

Therefore, Thessaloniki cannot be lost!

But now, there is a problem for the residents of Ximu Town.

The journey from Creekwood to Thessaloniki is about fifty miles. Although this distance is not too far, considering that the town’s residents are both young and old, it is estimated that it will not be very fast. What if you encounter robbers along the way?

Now there are only a dozen militiamen left in the town. Apart from that, the only fighting force is the dozen or so Greek mercenaries, mainly Spartans, around the mayor. Although their fighting force is good, it is still a bit difficult for them to protect more than two hundred ordinary people.

However, this problem was quickly resolved.

Martha promised to send them to Thessalonica. With this one-punch saint Martha, there would probably be no villains on the road who would be so blind as to provoke her.

After repelling the enemy, I finally have time to consider many things that I had not had time to think about before, such as the battle situation on the front line.

The enemy cavalry was able to rush to Ximu Town. Does this mean that the Roman army on the front line has been defeated? Does this mean that all the national soldiers sent by the town have died in the battle? Is Uncle Antonio still alive?

Looking at Tita and Sevilla's depressed mood, Tony knew that they might have made some bad guesses, and this guess was very likely to be true and reliable.

A large number of enemy cavalry were able to enter the inland areas of the Macedonian province. It was obvious that this was the result of a major defeat on the front line, and the front line was probably defeated to the point where it could no longer hold its position!

Unable to hold the position, both the National Army and the Field Army would probably suffer heavy losses. At this time Tony could only hope that Uncle Antonio was lucky enough to survive.

Although they were sad, the two were also sensible, or perhaps considering that there was still someone at home, they convinced themselves that "my father (husband) may not have died on the front line since there has been no official news to inform us" and quickly packed their bags to prepare to retreat with the town residents early the next morning.

The property in that era was somewhat different from the property in this era. In Tony's previous life, the most valuable thing besides real estate was money. Of course, necklaces and rings were definitely valuable too, but these small items could be easily packed up and taken away, and cars and the like could also be driven away directly.

But in that era, valuable things included not only currency but also various fine clothes and poultry. So when a war broke out and residents had to leave their homes, it was often not just people who left, but also various pigs, cattle, sheep, horses, chickens, ducks, fish, dogs and cats.

People knew that a war had broken out and that they had to run away to a safe place to survive, but animals did not know that, so the animals greatly slowed down the people's forward speed. Such a slow marching speed made everyone present very anxious, not to mention Tony, but what else could they do? Should they abandon their poultry? This was impossible, because poultry could give birth to chicks and make money. No one would abandon their property unless it was absolutely necessary.

Of course, that was also why this was Tony’s first time riding a bull in his life. Yes, it was Antonio’s old yellow bull.

At dawn early in the morning, the whole town started to get on the road quietly, and Tony got to experience the feeling of being a cavalryman. He was seen riding on an old ox majestically, with a sharpened wooden stick on his waist, his left hand grasping the hair on the ox's neck, his right hand holding a hayfork, and a hay ring on his head. Although it didn't look very good, that's what he meant.

It might be better if Sevilla wasn't leading the old ox in front...

"I think it won't be long before the enemy catches up with us, right? Well, if I were the commander, and all three hundred cavalrymen were crippled, I would definitely send more troops to attack the town." Tony, holding a dogtail grass in his mouth on the back of the ox, spoke vaguely to the mercenary next to him.

"That's true, but we've already run away." said a young man wearing a brass helmet and holding a short spear.

"So it's the cavalry's world at this time! Ximu Town is surrounded by roads in all directions and is generally a plain area with high visibility and a wide visual range. When the commander leads a large number of cavalry and infantry mixed troops to find that there is no one in the town, the commander is most likely to let the infantry rest on the spot and the cavalry search in all directions. Once they find us, they will leave a few cavalry to monitor us from a distance, and the rest of the cavalry will return to the town to report. Then the commander can lead the army to rush out and kill us."

"That makes sense, kid. Can you tell grandpa where you know all this?" At this moment, the mayor, old man Oulus, suddenly appeared beside Tony and asked.

Tony was stunned for a moment when he heard this question, and then he guessed that he might have said something wrong.

The above speculation does make sense, but the point is that these truths should not be known by a twelve-year-old country boy!

"These... these are all my guesses." Tony rolled his eyes and said casually.

"Oh? Guessed? Then can you tell grandpa how you guessed it?" Aulus asked with a smile.

I got up early in the morning, finished writing, and uploaded the chapters. I found that I already owed 15 chapters... I decided that from this chapter on, I will count how many chapters I owe after each chapter. Otherwise, the first thing I do when I wake up every day is to do arithmetic problems. I'm afraid I'll die if I do it for two more days...

At this moment, my total collection is 87, the recommendation votes are 50, the monthly votes are 5, and the rewards are 0. The next update requirement is that the total collection reaches 94, the recommendation votes reach 51, the monthly votes reach 6, and the rewards reach 500. Any one of the conditions will be met.

Goodbye, have breakfast and continue writing

Chapter 16 So, there is another sister?

Tony thought for a moment and replied, "If I were the commander, when I sent a cavalry unit to harass the inland area and found that they were defeated and retreated, I would definitely ask them what happened. After confirming that Ximu Town has a wall, I would definitely organize a larger force than the previous one to attack Ximu Town, and it would be a mixed cavalry and infantry. The infantry would be responsible for attacking the city, and the cavalry would be responsible for hunting outside the city to see if there were any enemy soldiers who escaped in the chaos. However, when they arrived at the town and found that there was no one in the town, then there was no doubt that the people must have run away, so I would send cavalry to search everywhere, and the infantry would stay on standby to recover their strength and prepare for the battle."

"Well said!" Aulus nodded to Tony while riding on his horse, "I didn't expect you to have such high military accomplishments at such a young age. Now let me ask you, what should we do if we are discovered?"

Tony knew he couldn't keep up the disguise, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "Our only advantage now is that we have more than 20 cavalrymen. Although strictly speaking they are mounted infantry and not cavalry in the true sense, the enemy search team should not have too many people, which is enough to deter them. So all we can do now is to force them back or find a place to ambush them."

"Ambush with cavalry? That's a good idea, but there is no place to ambush nearby." said Aulus.

...Then Tony would be helpless. After all, he was not a general. He had only watched some ancient TV dramas and read some novels describing ancient wars. He was not proficient in how to command a battle.

"It's okay. If their reconnaissance cavalry comes, I will help you deal with them." At this moment, Martha, who was not far away, spoke up.

That's a good idea!

Communications were very underdeveloped in that era. Tony estimated that their commander should have given them a certain range for searching. If they found the enemy within this range, they would send someone back to notify them. Then the commander would send liaison soldiers to find other search teams along the previously designated search routes, and then chase after them after gathering the troops.

If no enemy is found, they will return to the assembly at a fixed time and give up tracking.

However, Tony overlooked one thing.

How could there be no traces left on the road when so many people were moving? So the enemy only needed to follow these traces and chase them.

In other words, the time it takes for the enemy to catch up is not as far away as Tony guessed. It won’t be long before the Thracian troops catch up with them!

Originally, these Spartan mercenaries were experienced in the battlefield and could have thought of this, but now Tony had led everyone astray and they all thought that the enemy would not be able to catch up with them in a short time.

Speaking of which, everyone brought a lot of items this time. Since they were carried by war horses, they didn't have to carry them themselves, so everyone tried their best to bring things. If possible, I guess they would dismantle the entire house and pack them up to take away.

During the journey, no one dared to rest. If they were hungry, they ate some dry food; if they were thirsty, they drank some water; if they were sleepy, that was fine. There were still a few ox carts in the crowd. If you discussed it carefully, you could still go for a ride. So Tony, who was riding the ox, soon felt embarrassed to ride like this, after all, Tita was still walking on the road on her own two legs.

The enemy did not catch up for the whole day. In the evening, under the command of Aulus, everyone came to a small woods on the side of the road, preparing to spend the night there.

After dividing the troops in his hands into two groups to be responsible for night patrols and sentries, Aulus called on everyone to rest quickly.
