My XX deal with Sister Nero

Maeve is not deaf. Although Tony pretended to speak in a low voice, your voice... is not low at all?! I heard everything, okay?!

"Yes, Your Highness." As a soldier, Mary is naturally a person of her word. No matter whether her master is joking or serious, the order has been given. What else is there to say?

"Wait a minute!" Maeve looked at Tony angrily and brought up the subject directly: "Your Highness Prince Oddney! Why are you unwilling to marry me?"

Tony shrugged and didn't answer.

Nonsense, I can't tell Maeve that I'm not interested in the bus, right? It's the truth, but...if she gets angry, it will still hurt if she gets whipped.

Seeing that Tony was not going to answer, Maeve snorted coldly, turned around and left.

At this point, Maeve had completely given up on Tony. Well, at least the Romans had made it clear that they would not interfere in Connacht's war against the Picts and Silurians.

But Tony... has already prepared a set of "since ancient times" lines. When his army has finished training, he doesn't care where Connacht attacks. If you provoke me, I will beat up your Kingdom of Connacht as well!

Just as Queen Maeve was preparing to pack up and leave the city of Sanoni, in the distant Irish land, on a plain in the Kingdom of Connaught, there stood a small stone tomb.

"Kara".

Along with the sound of stones rubbing against each other, the stone at the top of the tomb suddenly cracked, and a strong arm full of masculine strength stretched out from the tomb.

"This is... How long have I been dead?" The tomb cracked open, and a young man wearing typical Irish white armor looked blankly at the foggy land in front of him and muttered to himself.

Although he didn't know why he was resurrected, after looking at the grave behind him and being convinced that he was really resurrected, the young man took out a red spear from the grave.

Gaiberga is a magic spear that can reverse cause and effect. It is rumored that the prototype of this gun is Gungnir, the magic spear of Odin, the main Norse god. It is a magic spear that can pierce the enemy's heart before the gun is fired!

"Well, I don't know why, but since I've been resurrected... I'd better go back to Ulster first, and then ask my master if she knows why I was able to be resurrected from the dead." The young man glanced at the surrounding scenery nonchalantly, and after roughly determining the direction, he walked towards the direction of the Kingdom of Ulster.

PS: Go to sleep, say goodbye, good night

Chapter 196 The Future of Britain

Maeve finally left.

When Tony learned the news the next day, he was relieved. At least, he didn't have to trouble his sister to change the law just for him.

A week later, Decianus delivered the second batch, a total of 200 sets of plate armor and horse armor, as well as a large number of arrows.

That's right, in addition to armor, the blacksmith shops in the British province were also responsible for the production of arrowheads, while the blacksmith shops in the city of Sanoni were mainly responsible for the production of stirrups.

Compared with arrowheads, stirrups are easy to make. Within a week, Tony had produced enough stirrups for a thousand war horses.

"The assembly line operation promoted by Your Highness... is indeed much better than the operation method we used before." In the study, Varro stood beside Tony and said with his head against his chest.

"That's right, how could the ideas I came up with be any different?" Tony said without raising his head while practicing Latin hard at his desk.

Assembly line operation will be a very common working method in the future two thousand years from now, but in this era... even iron forging is done by one person independently completing a set of processes, so where does assembly line operation come from?

Therefore, the assembly line operation method proposed by Tony did speed up the production of stirrups to a certain extent.

"Hand cannons are not yet fully operational, so we won't use them for now. We also don't have enough crossbows, and we haven't even produced a sample of the city-breaking crossbows yet. So the remaining ones... should only have 300 armored cavalry and some archers that can be used."

While muttering to himself, Tony stood up and said to Varro, "How is the map department I asked you to build now?"

"Your Highness, the mapping department has been established and the first batch of maps has been drawn. According to inspection, these maps are currently the most accurate maps in the country." Hearing Tony's question, Varro answered with his head down.

As early as when he was at the front line, Tony had realized that the accuracy of the existing maps of the Roman Empire was too low, so low that it was not as accurate as the maps he drew from memory. So on the same day, Tony sent a letter to Varro, asking him to find someone to draw a more accurate map of the town of Odney.

Because Tony's territory at that time only included this one small town, so the map was actually quite easy to draw. But unexpectedly, within just a few days, Tony's territory had expanded to a city called Sanoni. This was beyond the capability of a cartographer to handle, so Tony simply set up a surveying and mapping department that specialized in map surveying and mapping work.

The Mapping Department is affiliated with the City Hall and has branches in every town. Similarly, these branches are also affiliated with the town hall of the town. These mapping departments have only one job, which is to draw local maps with high accuracy.

As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in a hundred battles. What Tony needs to do now is to make a high-precision map. At least when the enemy really comes to his doorstep, Tony will know where to set up an ambush to ambush the enemy.

In addition, the staff of the Surveying and Mapping Department have another job, which is to try their best to draw a map of Caledonia, that is, Scotland. After all, Tony may go to conquer the Picts at any time in the future. Regardless of how accurate the map is, at least a map must be prepared so that they will not be in the dark and unable to tell what is what.

"Well, show me the maps they have drawn later to see if they are drawn according to the rules I set. After checking, distribute them and have people copy them. Remember, these high-precision maps are the secrets of my Prince Odney. No one can take them away without my permission, understand?"

"Yes, Your Highness." Varro bowed his head.

As the highest official in the city hall, he naturally understood the importance of these maps.

"Okay, we've practiced calligraphy enough. Come with me to the Sarmatian camp. They've rested for so long, it's time for them to move around." Tony stretched his body, pulled out a stool, and walked towards the north gate with Varo and several guards.

The Sarmatian camp is located on a plain about two miles north of the city of Sanoni. Tony originally planned to build a military fortress in the border area, but because he did not have so many laborers, he had to give up. Tony can only temporarily arrange for these Sarmatians to build their own camps and provide them with a certain amount of food. At least, for the sake of the ecological balance of this area, the Sarmatians are temporarily deprived of the right to graze.

Asking the nomadic people to give up grazing is in itself a situation of officials forcing the people to rebel, but fortunately Tony promised that this was only temporary, and he also provided the Sarmatians with enough food. Under such circumstances, the Sarmatians finally did not raise the banner of rebellion, otherwise, with the two hundred troops in Tony's hands, the Sarmatians could have just used their heads to knock open the gates of Sanoni City, and then hung up the prince and beat him severely.

And Tony also knew that such a policy could not be implemented for a long time. After all, the other party was a nomadic people, not an agricultural people. Unless they actively assimilated, otherwise...

So now Tony can only think of a way to find a place suitable for grazing in a short time, such as... Wales.

It’s just that the British province does not border the Welsh region at the moment, and there is a Clovis Kingdom between the British province and Wales, but... this doesn’t matter.

The Clovis Kingdom was one of the vassal states of the Roman Empire, so Tony could not take action against it. After Connacht occupied Wales, it was severely damaged. They had to accumulate a certain amount of strength before they dared to attack the Picts. But during this period of time... Tony could take the opportunity to send people pretending to be Clovis to attack the Welsh region. At the same time, Tony would inform Decianus and ask him to send people north to pretend to attack the Picts and protect his several vassal states in the north.

With no troops to send to the British province, Connacht would most likely attack the Clovis Kingdom. If the Roman Empire adopted a nonchalant attitude at this moment... Based on the known situation, the Clovis Kingdom would most likely not be able to defeat the Connacht Kingdom with its Irish raiders.

Of course, in order to prevent other vassal states from developing a mentality of "the lips and the teeth are in danger", Tony led his men to beat the Picts first. In this way, Tony showed his attitude.

You see, because I am protecting you, I cannot take care of the Clovis Kingdom at the same time. This is not my fault.

Then all that remains is... to lead the army back and incorporate the Clovis Kingdom and the Welsh region into the territory of the Roman Empire in one fell swoop!

At that time, not only will we be bordering the Welsh region, but we can also give the Sarmatians a large piece of land, making them grateful to us. At least in the short term, the Sarmatians will not have any rebellious thoughts.

Chapter 197 Preparations before the Attack

"Long time no see, Chief Zandigu." Tony came into the largest tent as if he had entered his own home. He casually dragged a chair from the side and sat in front of Chief Zandigu of the Yachis tribe, and said with a smile.

"Your Highness." Zandig was quite grateful to this prince. Although exchanging military service for residency rights seemed to be mutually beneficial, at least the entire Roman government was unwilling to provide them with a place to live when it was unwilling to provide even this mutual benefit.

In the end, His Royal Highness the Prince agreed to his request.

So from this point of view alone, Zandigu is quite grateful to Tony.

It was for this reason that when Tony proposed that the Sarmatians could not graze for the time being, Chief Zandig stood by Tony and suppressed his ancestors for him.

"You know, I'm not a talkative person, so I'll make it short. Tomorrow, I'll prepare a batch of armor for you, the kind that includes both men and horses. The number won't be large, probably only 300. I'll give you one day to get used to the armor. After one day, you 300 heavy cavalrymen and 1,000 light cavalrymen will follow me on the expedition against the Picts."

"Picts?" Zandig nodded and said, "As you wish, my Lord."

The Picts, like other continental barbarians, adopted a system of military aristocracy. However, because the Picts did not have many war horses, the cavalry in each Pictish kingdom was basically composed of nobles. It was precisely because of this that the Picts currently had no organized cavalry.

Plus, they were all barbarians who liked to harass and plunder. To be honest, the Sarmatians, who had the advantage of mobility... were someone the Picts could not defeat.

"Speaking of which, are there any myths and legends in the Caledonia region? For example, what religious beliefs did the Picts have?"

Tony suddenly turned his head and looked at Varro who was standing next to him and asked.

Unlike Varo and others, although Varo and others also believed in gods, in the final analysis, they were worshiping nature. Although they believed in and worshipped gods, they had never seen real gods.

But Tony is different. He did not believe in any gods in his previous life, but in this life he not only saw heroes in myths and legends, but also saw demigods. How could he not believe it?

But he simply believed in the existence of gods, not having any kind of faith, but simply believed in the existence of gods.

Tony naturally has to figure out the details of something like invading someone's base. It would be really troublesome if the god behind them suddenly jumped out and wanted to kill him.

"Your Highness, according to the intelligence we have, the Picts believe in Celtic mythology. However, according to the intelligence, there is an island of Skye in the northernmost part of Caledonia, where there seems to be a legendary hero. Your Highness, we... it is best not to provoke that person." Varro said with his head down.

"Huh? Who is it? So cool?" Tony raised his eyebrows. He knew that there were legendary strongmen in Ireland, but what was there in the territory of the Picts? According to what Tony knew in his previous life, the Picts did not leave any information. In other words, the Picts did not have any "stories" to show off.

"It is rumored that the Isle of Skye is a special place. It is the final destination of all Celts and the land of the dead. There is only one living person living on that island. Or rather, there is only one living demigod, the queen of the 'Land of Shadows', Scathach."

Scathach? The Master? That purple old… woman?

Ahem, I definitely don't have any intention of saying the word "old woman"! Stop talking nonsense!

【%

Tony coughed lightly and said with a strange look on his face: "Scathach, I remember you were Cu Chulainn's master, right? Cu Chulainn was the hero of the Knights of the Red Branch of Ulster. Logically speaking...Scathach should also be in Ireland, right?"

"Your Highness, according to legend, Scathach is on the Isle of Skye." Varo said softly.

"Okay." Tony shrugged. It was okay. As the gatekeeper of the Shadow Kingdom, Scathach couldn't leave the Shadow Kingdom at will. As long as he didn't take the initiative to provoke her, there would be no problem.

"Come to think of it, this area... seems to be our first target of attack." After taking a map from Varo, Tony pointed to the area on the map close to the Kingdom of Clovis and said with a smile.

"Oh? This is..." Zandigu looked at the place where Tony pointed with interest and asked.

"In the Manchuni area, there are the Pennines on the right and the Irish Sea on the left. If we attack here, we can go north and further into the Chester area, go west and march into Wales, and go east and enter the Pennines and bypass the Iceni Kingdom. This place is a battleground. I think... the Picts should have a lot of troops stationed in the Manchuni area, right?"

"This... Your Highness, there must be a lot of troops stationed here. However, if we really want to investigate the details of the military deployment, I'm afraid... I'm afraid we have to go to the Kingdom of Clovis to find out the specific situation." Varo said in a low voice.

"It doesn't matter." Tony shrugged and said with a smile: "The Picts have been plundering our vassal states for a long time. I think they didn't expect that we would turn around and plunder them, right? Besides, we are cavalry, the kind that will take a wave and leave. We don't plan to stay in their territory for a long time, so... we will not attack their big cities at all. Just like the Parthian strategy I formulated before, our only goal is to destroy as many crops as possible, implement local supplies, and use the tactics of fortifying the city and clearing the countryside!"

"But if we retreat, the Picts will definitely cause trouble for the Clovis Kingdom." Varro said with a frown.

"Looking for trouble?" Tony snorted coldly. "Then let them use stupid methods and defend themselves tightly. When they find the enemy, notify us and we will attack again. While the Picts are attacking the Kingdom of Clovis, we will continue the raid and attack Chester. Then we will make a circle and go south along the Lacombe area and return to the Kingdom of Iceni. Then, I will see what they can do. Besides, if the Kingdom of Connacht is not stupid, they may attack Chester and Manchuni first."

At this point, Tony paused and continued, "Unlike the Picts, the current Kingdom of Connacht is basically an agricultural country. They are not a nomadic people, so they have fixed settlements and fields. If we want to turn against them later... Tsk tsk, don't you think that attacking their cities is much easier than attacking those tribal gathering places in the mountainous areas?"

PS1: Damn, the recommendation for No. 8?! Also, where is the recommendation for VIP hanging banners?

PS2: I searched the map so hard that I couldn’t find the ancient place names of many places, so... in the future, if I can’t find them, I can only use modern place names.

PS3: I suddenly want to post an additional bounty [Funny], what do you think?

Chapter 198 Come, choose a plug-in!

"So why did you bring me here? And you deliberately didn't bring any guards with you." In the southwest of Rome, outside the Latina city gate, a young man with dazzling blond hair and a strange mask covering the upper half of his face said to a young man with a typical Asian face.

"Pick up the airdrops, my prince. The airdrops will arrive soon." Standing on Latin Avenue, the Asian young man looked over the people coming and going, as if he was desperately searching for something.

These two are naturally our heroes Tony and Rosa.

"Airdrop?" Tony was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked up at Tiandao: "What, you are eating chicken at my place?"

"Almost." Rosa continued to search and said to Tony, "Although the anchor point has not been fixed and we can't go back, I have the coordinates. It shouldn't be a problem to have someone airdrop something over... Speaking of which, do you know why you died?"

"Ah?" Tony glanced at Rosa standing next to him, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you asking me? Wasn't I killed by your enemy? How dare you ask me that?"

"...It's okay to give Tony a slap on the face." Rosa, who was a little confused by Tony's sudden foul mouth, scratched his head subconsciously and said, "I think what Rose meant was that you don't have the ability to protect yourself, right?"

"Hmm... now that you mention it, it seems to be true." Tony touched his chin, thought for a while, and his tone was a little inexplicable.

Not to mention what happened after he became a Heroic Spirit. His own legend was materialized into a Noble Phantasm, some of which gave him the ability to protect himself. But what could Tony do before he became a Heroic Spirit?

Military boxing and enemy-catching boxing, these were things Tony learned during his military training in college and when he worked in customs in his previous life. Self-protection? It was more than enough to deal with ordinary people, but in this era, with Tony's skills, it would be difficult for him to fight a small soldier alone.

Later, when I grew up and became an adult, my physical strength improved, and I could fight an untrained militia on equal terms. But now, at this moment... what can a child do?

Being pressed to the ground and rubbed?

So...it is indeed necessary to arm myself a little bit at this moment.

"Here it comes!" At this moment, Rosa's somewhat surprised voice suddenly came from beside Tony.

"Huh?" Following the sound, I saw a person-high airdrop box suddenly appear out of nowhere in a grove of trees on the left side of Latina Avenue?

"Fuck, you can do a vacuum drop, you bastard?!" Although he knew that it was teleported, Tony couldn't help but complain when he saw such a familiar thing.

Just kidding, in his previous life Tony also played games with his colleagues, worked as a war correspondent, and ate chicken, okay?

"Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense." Rosa looked around and made sure that no one was paying attention to this place. Then he boldly walked into the grove, lifted the canvas on the airdrop box, and started taking things out from inside.

"Pick a few that are convenient for you, and then you can take them to Britain yourself in a few days." As Rosa spoke, he kept taking out things from inside and placing them on the ground outside.

"Fuck...you...you must have emptied out all of Fifteen's family assets, right? No, this is the toll you collected using the return home plan?" Looking at the familiar things scattered on the ground in front of him, the heroic spirit Tony felt his scalp tingling.

"Five Magical Skills? What the hell, this thing... Will I turn into a panda if I practice it? And what else? Misty Sword Technique? I'm not a wheelchair spirit, why should I practice this thing?" Looking at the two antique books that Rosa casually threw on the ground, Tony took a look at the cover and then cried out in surprise.

"Don't want to practice? It doesn't matter, there are other things."

With a chuckle, Rosa continued to throw things outside.

“??? This pink... magenta thing, what? Wang Xiaoming’s Decade Driver? Or the "Full House of Descendants" version? And what is this? It’s so flashy and looks like a nightclub DJ’s thing, a time-space driver? I didn’t realize you collected these, brother?” Tony said, looking at the two belts with a strange expression.

"Don't worry, it's not authentic. If it is authentic, what will happen to Wang Xiaoming and the big gold watch? You know what my research institute has copied. This kind of thing is a piece of cake! What do you think? Do you want it?" Rosa looked at Tony with interest and said, "If you want it, take it out and put it aside. I have a lot of other things here."

"Anything else?" Tony bent down, picked up the Decade Driver from the ground and put it aside. Then he stretched out his hand to Rosa and made a "please" gesture: "Please continue your performance."

……

When Tony had almost finished picking out the items, Rosa threw the other items that Tony didn't like back into the airdrop box. After covering the box with the canvas, he took out a black ring with a gold rim from his jacket pocket and handed it to Tony, saying, "You can take this too, but you have to remember one thing, I won't give it to you if I can."

"What is this?" Tony took the ring with some curiosity and examined it over and over again. This ring... seemed something he had never seen before.

What Rosa took out from the airdrop box were probably some familiar things, such as belts, transformation devices, various martial arts secrets, magic and super powers, etc., but this... Tony has never seen it before.

"I named this thing the Power Fusion Device."
