My XX deal with Sister Nero

The most crucial thing is that Caligula has always been at odds with the Senate, and Caesar finally died at the hands of the Senate. Now with these two in charge, at least the Senate will not be able to make any waves for the time being.

Chapter 249: Your Majesty, did your head get caught in the door? (Additional update 53)

"But, Your Majesty Gaius, His Majesty Nero's order..." Upon hearing Caligula's order, Vanore, who was sitting next to him, was shocked. This guy... is his madness not cured or what?

Since Caligula temporarily took over the power of the empire, the Senate had no choice but to cooperate. Firstly, because legally speaking, Caligula, the former emperor, was indeed qualified to do so. Secondly, because... no one wanted to die suddenly and inexplicably here.

So Vanore was relatively obedient and handed Nero's letter to Caligula.

Unexpectedly, after reading the letter, Caligula nodded and said, "It seems that my niece is a relatively qualified emperor. Well, let's do as she says."

It's over. Caligula's madness is getting worse and worse, and it's developing in a weird direction.

When Caligula was still the emperor, he had a bit of intermittent mental illness, that is, he was sometimes good and sometimes bad. When he was good, he was still doting on Nero. After all, Nero in this world was a girl, not a man. But when he was bad, he was basically a man who didn't recognize his relatives. It was because of this that he was stabbed to death in the end. But no matter what, when he was crazy, at least you could tell that he was crazy, unlike now? You look quite normal and speak quite logically. Why did you keep nodding your head to show that Nero was right after reading Nero's letter?

Please! Give up the territory! Or give up the territory when you are sure of victory! Did you accidentally get your head caught by the door when you entered the hall just now?

"In addition..." Caligula suddenly put down the letter in his hand and said to Caesar not far away: "Mr. Dictator, I'm afraid the empire needs you to go to Egypt. After all, one of the leaders of the rebels is Cleopatra VII. Moreover, I think they should have received similar news and should choose to negotiate with us."

"News? What news?" At this time Vanore finally came to his senses. It seemed that Emperor Caligula, like Emperor Nero, knew something that he didn't know.

"Huh? Didn't my niece tell you? The god of war Mars is dead." Caligula glanced at the elders casually and casually blurted out this almost earth-shattering news.

“Your Majesty Gaius! Are you kidding me?” A young senator subconsciously slapped the table and stood up and said, “Even if you were once the emperor of the Roman Empire, you must not say such disrespectful words. How could the God of War Mars, a great god, die?!”

"However, what he said is true." Caesar, who was sitting next to him, glanced at the young elder and said, "Let alone the God of War. In this world, several gods have fallen. It's just that the God of War Mars is the strongest among these killed gods."

"This..." After looking at Caesar, the young senator opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he found that he could not utter a word.

The reason why he dared to refute Caligula was because there was already a precedent of disrespect for God when Caligula was alive, but Caesar... There seemed to be no need for Caesar to help Caligula lie, right?

"There is a being called the Wandering Star Soldier who is about to destroy this land. In order to protect us, almost all gods fought against the Wandering Star Soldier, Cefalu, ten thousand years ago. The two sides ended up in a draw, and Cefalu had no ability to continue fighting and could only choose to sleep. Two thousand years ago, she woke up briefly and was repelled by the gods of the Sumerian pantheon. This time... she seems to have fully awakened and possessed a strength that surpasses ten thousand years ago. At least... ten thousand years ago, she did not kill Mars."

Caesar stood up and spoke in a deep voice to the elders present.

Killed...Mars?

The elders present couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment. The legendary God of Judgement... was he really killed?

"Nero asked you to gather the troops from the southern provinces in order to prevent Cefalu from coming. After all, Cefalu should still be in the desert. It was because of Cefalu that Nero ordered the army to be assembled to defend the Roman Empire. But I'm a little curious, how did she... know all this?" Caligula waved his hand casually and said.

Indeed, logically speaking, only heroic spirits and gods should know about Cefalu's affairs, but how did Nero know about it?

Judging from Nero's deployment of troops, it is obvious that Nero was targeting the south. In the south, except for a few small tribes that the Roman Empire found it difficult to send troops to, the only one left was Cephalus.

It's quite interesting. It seems that my niece knows something that I don't know.

"The Sword of the God of War..." Janus, with his upper body naked, said with difficulty while coughing up blood, at the feet of a huge white figure on the Tasili Plateau.

The huge white figure looked at Janus with indifference, and then... slashed with a sword.

At this point, Janus, the patron saint of the Romans, was removed from the list.

Looking coldly at the north, Sefalu, holding the Sword of the God of War, walked towards the Mediterranean step by step.

After a week of sailing, Nero and Tony finally landed at the port of Rome. However, what she didn't expect was that as soon as her feet set foot on the land, what she saw was a familiar yet unfamiliar face.

"Uncle... Uncle?" Looking at Caligula standing on the dock, Nero subconsciously took a step back, a little surprised.

Although Nero was still very young when Caligula IV came to power, she still had a very deep impression of this uncle. After all... this uncle was really good to her when he was in a good mood, but when he went crazy, no one could control him.

"Oh, is this the current emperor of the empire? He's quite cute!" At this moment, a middle-aged fat man in a red dress who was originally standing behind Caligula quickly squeezed Caligula aside, came to Nero and looked at Nero carefully, then... stretched out his somewhat fat palm and gently patted Nero's head.

This guy...isn't Fat Nero...Pah! Isn't he Caesar?

Looking at the middle-aged fat man wearing a laurel crown, Tony subconsciously raised his eyebrows. So... where is the legendary ancestor of gods Romulus?

"Eh? Are you... His Majesty the Phantom Emperor Caesar?" Nero frowned and said uncertainly after taking a closer look at the middle-aged fat man standing in front of him.

"Yes! It's me! The Roman dictator, Gaius Julius Caesar!"

PS: Mobile Ultraman is so good looking!

Chapter 250 It's time to stop paddling

"Caesar? His Excellency the Phantom Emperor Caesar?!" Upon hearing this self-introduction, Nero was stunned at first, and then looked at Caesar with surprise.

"The Phantom Emperor... Never mind, call me whatever you want." Hearing the somewhat strange title of the Phantom Emperor, Caesar scratched his head awkwardly, and then looked at Nero as if he were his own granddaughter.

"This... should be your brother that Vanore mentioned, and also my nephew, Tony Claudius Germanicus?"

"Actually...his current name is Tony Claudius Augustus Germanicus." Nero patted his brother's shoulder gently and introduced him to Caesar and Caligula.

"Yeah, it's a pity that Yulia is dead, otherwise this little guy... should have had another sister."

Yulia?

Although he had never heard of this name, but looking at Caligula's expression, Tony could easily infer that this Julia should be Caligula's daughter. In the assassination, Caligula's family died completely, and none of his wife and daughter escaped.

Well, except for Claudius who was hiding behind the curtains.

"Oh! Is this little Tony?" Caesar turned his head to look at Tony and reached out to touch his head. "I have heard about you. You invented stirrups, rattle arrows and hand cannons, improved farming techniques and iron smelting techniques, and even fought against the Pontic rebels, Picts and Parthians. You are another dragon-slaying hero. Not bad, you are worthy of being the descendant of the god of war Mars, and you are worthy of being a Roman!"

"Thank you... for the compliment, Lord Caesar." Tony coughed lightly and thought for a while before deciding to call him Lord Caesar. He really couldn't say such a childish name as the Phantom Emperor.

"Then let's not stand here, let's go back first." Caesar clapped his hands and said to everyone.

After returning to the palace and clearing out the guards in the hall, Caesar stood in the center of the hall and looked at Nero and said, "Fifth Emperor, I have a question."

"Ah... Please speak, Lord Caesar." Nero said stiffly as he stood in front of Caesar.

"Caligula and I have read the letter you sent to the Senate. You did not tell the Senate about Mars' death in battle. I guess you considered this news too shocking so you deliberately concealed it, right?"

"Yes." Nero nodded. At first, she did want to tell the Senate about Mars' death in battle, because in this way the Senate should understand why she had put the southern provinces on a state of war readiness. But then Tony reminded her that the emperor was not in Rome and the news was too shocking. She didn't know what the Senate would do after learning the news, so she simply chose not to say it.

"So... we are curious about one thing. We learned about this through the power of inhibition. How... did you know it?" Caesar asked with a frown.

"It was me. I told my sister." Tony raised his hand: "But...did the restraint tell you about Mars?"

"Hmm? From your tone, it seems that you, Tony, also know about restraint? Then can you tell me how you know about Mars?" Caesar asked curiously.

"Heroic Spirit, my future self was transformed into a Heroic Spirit, and then some time ago someone summoned me into this world as a Servant. This Servant told me this."

"Has someone summoned you?" Caesar and Caligula looked at each other. After being transformed into Heroic Spirits, the two were thrown into the Throne of Heroes by the Suppression Force and were on the other side of the timeline. So they knew what Heroic Spirits were, what Servants were, what Servant summoning was, and they even knew what the Holy Grail War was. But based on what they knew, in this era, it seemed that no one could summon a Servant yet?

Although there are magicians in this era who can summon familiars, as the highest level of familiars "Servants", you really can't make them without something like the Chaldea System or the Fuyuki Holy Grail System.

So... in this era, someone has learned this kind of magic and summoned the heroic spirit Tony?

That's right! Looking at Caesar and the others' thoughtful expressions, Tony suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind!

To summon a servant, there must be a magician holding a holy relic. It is almost impossible for a servant to summon himself. Although it is theoretically possible, but... the possibility is too small.

In other words, a magician summoned the heroic spirit Tony!

In Nero's dream, someone told her that by cutting the world into a lossbelt, she could save the future Tony, which means that this person should also be a magician.

So... could he be the magician who summoned the heroic spirit Tony?

If that's the case, I'm afraid that magician should be next to the heroic spirit Tony at this moment!

"What's wrong, brother?" Seeing that Tony seemed to be thinking about something, Nero gently pinched Tony's face and asked.

"It's okay, I was just thinking about something else." Tony turned his head and glanced at Nero, saying, "Although we have the help of my uncle and Caesar now, but... I hope my sister can still handle some things on her own as much as possible.

"Emmmm..." Nero looked at Caesar and Caligula awkwardly and nodded, indicating that there was no problem.

Tony estimated that it would take at least a month to travel from the Tasili Plateau all the way north to the Roman province. In addition, he estimated that there would be some gods who would come to help like the Calabash Brothers who came to save their grandfather. This should be enough to delay Sefalu for a while and buy time to transfer back the Eastern Legion.

After staying in Rome for two days, Caesar left. As agreed before, Caesar would go to Egypt to persuade Cleopatra VII to stop the rebellion, while Tony also packed up and prepared to go to the Eastern front. After all, in name, Tony was the commander of this army, and it was almost time to slack off. The war should be over now. Generally speaking, the Roman legion would return to Rome as a victor, so... Tony needed to hurry over and join the army to return to Rome, well, return to Rome as a victor.

Generally speaking, the situation on the eastern front was relatively calm. Perhaps it was guided by their gods, or perhaps the Parthian Empire really couldn't stand the Romans' disruption in the Babylonia region. In short, the emperor of the Parthian Empire finally agreed to the peace treaty proposed by the Romans. The Kingdom of Armenia would cede part of its land to Rome and become the Roman province of Armenia Minor. As for the Parthian Empire... it would pay money and food, withdraw all its forces stationed in the Kingdom of Armenia, and cede the city of Juliopolis.

Chapter 251: Tony the Hero's Final Battle (Part 1)

According to Tony's original strategic deployment, the two legions responsible for disrupting the rear implemented an on-the-spot supply strategy, which greatly damaged the Parthian rear while attracting the enemy's front-line troops to return for defense. Then the Eastern Legion of the Roman Empire bit the enemy's tail tightly, looking for an opportunity to completely cripple this army.

Once successful, the Eastern Legion could take advantage of the situation to attack Ctesiphon and then move eastward. Since the east of Parthia was not peaceful, it would not be long before the Parthian Empire would try every means to negotiate with the Romans, and then... the Roman Empire could take advantage of the situation to regain control of Armenia and force the Parthians to cede Mesopotamia and Babylonia, thus opening up the Roman Empire's entrance to the Persian Gulf.

However, because Cephalus awakened and Mars died in battle, the empire's provinces in Africa were seriously threatened. In order to protect the empire's borders, the Roman Empire had to give up this great opportunity and ordered peace talks with the enemy. While regaining control of Armenia, it forced the Parthian Empire to cede Juliopolis.

Juliopolis, located at the border of Armenia, Parthia and Rome, is the largest trade center of the Parthian Empire in the West. It is also a powerful fortress built by the Parthian Empire at a huge expense. They can rely on this city to attack Armenia or Rome, and they can also defend this city to deal with the attacks of the Romans.

Similarly, if this city fell into the hands of the Romans, they could use it to threaten the northern region of Mesopotamia.

Under normal circumstances, the Parthian Empire would never cede such an important city, but since their own god had spoken... the Parthians had no choice but to agree.

Although this war did not achieve Tony's original strategic goal, the recapture of Armenia and the occupation of Juliopolis laid a relatively good foundation for the next war.

In a villa on the outskirts of Rome, Tony was lying on a recliner and enjoying a traditional Roman meal comfortably, being served by several little girls.

"Although I want to say this is really depraved, but... I never thought that my sister actually has such a beautiful villa outside of Rome."

This is a typical Roman courtyard, covering a total area of ​​nearly one hectare. The most central building is naturally the atrium-style hall where Tony is now. Directly in front of the hall is a large garden. In addition to the general pavilion in the garden, there is also a stone statue. Yes, it is the statue of our Emperor Nero!

In addition, the corridors on both sides of the courtyard also adopt typical Corinthian columns, connecting the rest areas on both sides of the atrium-style hall. Behind the hall is naturally a luxurious large bathing area.

In addition to the luxurious architecture, Tony enjoyed treatment that he had hardly ever enjoyed in the palace.

For example, when it comes to eating, Tony is used to eating by himself on weekdays, but it is different here. Here, Tony only needs to lie down, and then... the servants will come to feed you personally.

Even if Tony wasn't shy and unwilling to do so, when he came out of the toilet there would probably be a maid waiting with a sponge to wipe our Prince's butt.

"Is this the new dress my sister prepared for me? Isn't it a bit too sexy?" Looking at the almost pure gay purple toga in front of him, Tony was stunned for a moment, then frowned deeply.

What the hell? Why did you give me clothes of this color? But the fabric... seems to be silk?

"Your Highness..." Seeing Tony's disgusted expression, a woman dressed as a housekeeper in her thirties wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Your Highness, this color represents nobility. Generally speaking, only generals or royal family members can wear clothes of this color when they return victoriously."

No wonder there were so many gays in the Roman Empire!

Tony curled his lips. He put on this gay purple toga and looked as flashy as he could be. Do you think he wouldn't be gay?

Seeing His Highness's reluctant look, the butler was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Because her job was mainly to maintain the villa, she had not had much contact with Tony when she was not in the palace. That was why he was unsure of the prince's temper. If he really didn't want to wear this dress... he was afraid that it would be difficult to explain to the priests and the Senate...

They definitely wouldn't dare to do anything to His Highness, but she was just a small housekeeper...I was afraid they would have to take their anger out on her in the end.

"Your Highness... this dress is very valuable, and very suitable for your status..." The butler was speechless, not knowing how to persuade the prince.

"Of course I know it's expensive." Tony curled his lips. There was no need to talk about silk. The history books of his previous life all clearly stated how expensive silk was. As for the color, dyeing clothes in this era was not as simple as in the previous era. Therefore, correspondingly, the cost of dyeing clothes in this era was very high. If other labor costs were taken into account, this toga would be simply astronomical in price.

And... the laurel wreath held by the maid next to him, is it made of pure gold? Add in some odds and ends, and Tony seriously doubts that this outfit is enough for him to buy a house in Rome.

How to say it, this was the first foreign war since Nero came to power, and he won. Not only did Nero, but even Vitellius and Seneca wanted to brag about it. The Romans not only prepared a grand triumphal ceremony for Tony and others, they even built a magnificent triumphal arch in the city to commemorate this victory.

It’s just a pity that it is impossible for all of these more than 100,000 troops to enter the city to enjoy this glorious triumph. Except for the carefully selected one thousand people, the rest of the troops will quickly move south into Africa to prepare for the attack of Sayfalu.

"I don't know what's wrong with me." Standing in front of the window, Tony held a silver cup, took a sip of the grape juice in the cup, and muttered to himself.

How is Tony the Hero? To be honest, Tony the Hero is in a bad state.

Although almost all the resurrected heroes have received the message from the restraining force, most of them are smart and did not rush to the Tashilhi Plateau after receiving the message. The first reason is that it is located deep in the Sahara Desert and transportation is inconvenient. The second reason is that these heroes plan to join forces to deal with Sefalu.

After all, in a one-on-one fight, even the God of War Mars was no match for her, and these heroic spirits were not so arrogant as to think that they were stronger than Mars.

However...the heroic spirit Tony has no intention of joining forces with other heroic spirits to fight the enemy.

PS: There will be only two updates today and tomorrow, because I have an appointment with friends to go to a comic convention the day after tomorrow. So I’ll go to bed early today so that I can get up early tomorrow to write and save up manuscripts, so that I won’t have no time or energy to write after coming back from playing the day after tomorrow.

Chapter 252: Tony the Hero's Final Battle (Part 2)

Just as Tony was enjoying his capitalist life, in the distant Sahara Desert.

"A-choo!" Rosa sneezed violently and then rubbed his arms vigorously. Then he stretched his hands to the fire in front of him with some difficulty: "This is really the first time I spend the night in the desert. Although I have heard that the temperature difference between day and night in the desert is large, this is too cold, right?"

"You make it sound like I've just spent a night in the desert." Tony, the hero, untied the water bag from his waist and took a big gulp. "According to our current pace, at most, we can only go three days deeper before we can't go any further. There's not much water left."

"You're still drinking when it's not much?!" Rosa snatched the water bag from the heroic spirit Tony and said angrily, "Do you think I don't know? Heroic spirits don't need to eat or drink water. Except for a certain Stupid King, I've never seen a heroic spirit that needs to eat, drink, defecate or urinate."

"I just want to find some feeling? The feeling of being alive." The heroic spirit Tony coughed lightly and scratched his head awkwardly.

Using their own set of Royal Guards armor, they obtained a batch of food and water from the border guards of the African province. After taking a few camels, the two heroes Tony and Rosa rode camels into the depths of the Sahara Desert.

The distance from the border of Africa Province to the Tahiri Plateau is almost equivalent to crossing three-quarters of Algeria. Considering their current food and water resources, with the proviso that they can replenish them after passing through several oases, the little they have can only barely allow them to reach the Tahiri Plateau.

So Rosa and his friends' plan was very simple, they would go as far forward as possible and stay in the oasis as long as possible. They would go south and Sefalu would go north, they would eventually meet each other halfway anyway.

"Alright, alright, go to bed and stop talking nonsense to me." The heroic spirit Tony waved his hand at Rosa unceremoniously, signaling him to go to bed quickly. After all, he had to get up early tomorrow to travel when it was not so hot.
