My XX deal with Sister Nero

"Then you will keep watch?" Rosa asked the heroic spirit Tony while crawling into the tent behind him.

"What else?" Tony the Hero raised his eyebrows and said, "How about I let you come? Are you willing?"

"I don't want to." Rosa shook her head and said, "You should come. After all, you are a heroic spirit and don't need to sleep."

"Tsk tsk." The heroic spirit Tony curled his lips and was about to say something naughty when he suddenly discovered that the camels that were originally lying in a circle around him and sleeping with their eyes closed suddenly raised their heads and turned their heads in the same direction.

"Huh?" Faced with this obviously abnormal situation, the heroic spirit Tony stood up subconsciously and looked in the direction the camel was looking with a serious face.

"Boom, boom."

Not long after, the heroic spirit Tony clearly felt the ground shaking. In the darkness in the distance, he seemed to be able to faintly see a huge figure slowly walking towards the location of the heroic spirit Tony and Rosa.

"Here they come!" As the heroic spirit Tony spoke, the camels, sensing that the atmosphere was wrong, stood up one after another, digging the ground with their four hooves anxiously, as if they were planning to escape.

"Huh? Who's here? Sefalu?" Rosa was stunned for a moment, and looked in the direction of the heroic spirit Tony, but... he saw nothing.

"Don't waste your energy. I'm an Archer Servant with the inherent skill of Clairvoyance, which allows me to see things far away. And you, with the eyesight of a normal person, can't see a thing." Looking at Rosa squinting his eyes, as if he wanted to see what was going on, the Heroic Spirit Tony almost laughed out loud.

"...So, what are you looking at?" Rosa coughed lightly, glanced at the heroic spirit Tony standing next to him, and asked.

"Sefalu, we met Saifalu."

"Hmm?" Rosa was stunned for a moment, then his expression darkened: "What are you going to do? Just retreat? Or should we join forces to fight?"

"Join hands?" Tony, the heroic spirit, smiled and asked, "Tell me, with your strength, can you beat Sefalu?"

"My strength?" The ring on Rosa's right middle finger suddenly flashed a white light, and after the white light, a cross sword used by a knight appeared out of thin air in his hand.

"That depends on my strength at that time, and whether my power is included. If it is me at the time before your death, plus my power, with this power, I can destroy this solar system, right? But if it is me at this moment, it will be difficult for me to deal with Sefalu."

"So, you just need to be a witness later." The heroic spirit Tony shrugged, took the cross sword from Rosa, and said, "I will be able to fight in the next battle."

"You?" Rosa was stunned for a moment, and asked uncertainly: "Wait a minute, to be honest, let alone a Servant, even in the Heroic Spirit state, you are not my opponent, right? What, you want to fight Sefalu alone by yourself?"

"A one-on-one fight with Sefalu?" Tony, the heroic spirit, curled his lips and said, "When I take action, you watch from the side and estimate how strong Sefalu is. Then... tell this information to me in this era!"

After saying that, the heroic spirit Tony took a deep breath, then suddenly exerted force on his feet and rushed towards the direction where Sefalu was.

As a general and a noble, Tony the Hero has received certain systematic training. Although his martial arts skills are not as good as those of the real Roman generals, among the nobles, Tony the Hero's martial arts skills... are still relatively outstanding.

Looking at the heroic spirit Tony rushing towards him, Sefalu had a cold expression on his face. He then raised the colored pen in his hand and smashed it down on the heroic spirit Tony.

"It's indeed a colored pen." Looking at the sword of the god of war that was hitting him, the heroic spirit Tony rolled to the side, then turned over and jumped up, rushing towards the direction of Sefalu.

"Next... let's test the power of this sword!" Looking at the cross sword tightly held in his right hand, the heroic spirit Tony raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, and a long-lost feeling of boiling blood filled his whole body.

The sword used by Rosa is a weapon specially tailored for psychics. It is made of a special alloy. Although it is not as good as the divine weapon like the big colored pen, it is much better than the weapons used by the current Roman Empire soldiers...

"Woc, why the hell are you, an archer, doing close combat!" Rosa almost choked to death on his saliva when he saw the heroic spirit Tony moving around with the cross sword.

"However, I can also take this opportunity to do a small test." Looking at the huge Sefalu, Rosa took a deep breath and planned to test another weapon on him.

PS: This stupid sensitive word library should be kept as a scapegoat for Nanxi's meal.

Chapter 253: Tony the Hero's Final Battle (Part 2)

Colt Anaconda was one of Rosa's standard weapons when he was not yet a mutant. It is equipped with .44 Magnum pistol bullets and is one of the largest caliber pistols on the market.

Rosa wanted to try out how much impact modern firearms could have on Sefalu.

"Bang!" Accompanied by a dull gunshot, a spark flashed across Sefalu's shoulder, and then... nothing happened.

"Ricochets are okay." Rosa threw the pistol aside awkwardly and sighed.

"Huh?" The heroic spirit Tony, who was rushing forward, seemed to see a small spark flash across Sefalu's left shoulder in a trance. Although he didn't understand what exactly happened, but... the heroic spirit Tony took a deep breath, leaped up, and swung his sword at Sefalu's knee.

There was no other way. The heroic spirit Tony had tried his best. After all, Cefalu was a little tall, at a height of sixteen meters, and the heroic spirit Tony could only jump up and hit her knees.

"Hmm?" With a sound like nails scratching glass, the heroic spirit Tony clearly saw that a shallow white mark was left on Sefalu's knee by the heroic spirit Tony's cross sword.

"WDNMD, how can the defense be so high?" The moment he landed, the heroic spirit Tony subconsciously jumped back quickly, dodged Sefalu's big feet, and then admired her knees.

Although this is a foot control, but with such a big foot falling down... I'm afraid I won't have the chance to control it in the future.

Fortunately, Sefalu doesn't have athlete's foot.

"It seems... I still have to use the Noble Phantasm directly." The Heroic Spirit Tony took a deep breath. Although he was a Bow-class Servant and could only use Bow-class Noble Phantasms, fortunately this was not FGO where he could only use one Noble Phantasm... He had two Bow-class Noble Phantasms!

"So what's next..." After taking a look at the Sword of the God of War on the left side of his body, the heroic spirit Tony took a deep breath again, and after a run-up, he suddenly leaped forward, while the cross sword in his hand stabbed fiercely towards Sefalu's calf!

"You must stab it in!"

It was as if God heard the call from the depths of the heroic spirit Tony's heart. With a "puff" sound, half of the sword almost sank into Sefalu's calf.

"Ah!" Sefalu screamed, and swept the Sword of the God of War in his right hand vertically towards the heroic spirit Tony.

"Tsk." With a sudden effort, the heroic spirit Tony stepped on the sword with one foot, and then jumped up again. Suddenly, a black thing like a matchlock gun appeared in his hand.

"Take my shot!" With wild laughter, the heroic spirit Tony raised the muzzle of the gun in his hand, aimed at Sefalu's chin and pulled the trigger hard!

Anti-human Noble Phantasm: Summoning Pluto!

Pluto, the lord of the underworld in ancient Rome. As a modern man, Tony naturally knows how to use the guns in his hands to fight properly. In addition to creating the traditional three-stage attack, Tony has also used guns to form an assassination team. In simple terms, he used the guns in his hands as sniper rifles.

Although after more than ten years of development, the firearms invented by Tony are still quite different from modern sniper rifles, but after his death, according to that man's wishes, Nero led the entire Roman people to blow up the matchlock gun in Tony's hand, which originally had neither high accuracy nor long range, into an anti-personnel weapon that could kill Japanese machine gunners with one shot from eight hundred miles away and had armor-piercing and explosive properties!

Legend has it that the person who was hit by this shot...can be said to have accepted Pluto's call and went to the underworld.

If it was any other Heroic Spirit, he would probably explode on the spot after being hit by this shot. However, the Heroic Spirit Tony was facing Cefalu, the one who was able to confront the Gods of Earth head-on, killed Mars and stole his Sword of the God of War.

The shot only pierced Sefalu's chin.

"Ah!" Accompanied by a shrill scream, the sword of the god of war in Sefalu's hand swept towards the waist of the heroic spirit Tony.

"Damn it..." Tony, the heroic spirit with nowhere to gain support in the air, could only watch as the sword of the god of war in Sefalu's hand slashed across his waist and cut him in half.

"Oh no." He fell heavily to the ground and looked at the lower half of his body lying not far away. The heroic spirit Tony sighed. He didn't expect... that he was such a loser.

"Hey, Tony!" Rosa stood outside of Cefalu's attack range and watched the heroic spirit Tony being cut in half. He almost subconsciously rushed up to have a fight with Cefalu.

"Don't get excited." Heroic Spirit Tony smiled weakly at Rosa. Seeing the golden light appearing around him, Tony knew he was about to return to the Heroic Seat. He quickly used his last bit of strength to say to Rosa, "Then, from now on, I will leave this moment to you!"

Although he failed to bring out the full combat power of Sefalu, the heroic spirit Tony was not given in vain. At least Rosa also gained something.

Cefalu has a certain fighting ability, or she does not rely entirely on instinct in battle. In addition, her defensive ability is also quite high. Tony's Noble Phantasm, which can completely smash a Servant, only pierced Cefalu's chin here, and...

Rosa narrowed his eyes and looked carefully. It seemed that this Sefalu...had a similar ability of super-speed regeneration.

After taking a deep look at Tony, the heroic spirit that was gradually becoming brighter, Rosa suddenly bowed slightly to him, then took a big step and flew towards the north.

"Huh?" At this moment, in the city of Rome, Tony, who was taking a comfortable bath in a large bath, seemed to have sensed something. He subconsciously sat up straight and widened his eyes.

"This feeling... is somewhat similar to when Mars died, but... it's not Mars who died."

Tony glanced out the window subconsciously, frowning. This feeling... was the feeling that someone who was extremely related to him had died!

Could it be...

"Impossible." Tony shook his head and muttered to himself, "It's impossible that I died after becoming a Heroic Spirit. With the armor of the general of the Guards on him, no one in the entire Roman Empire should dare to mess with him, and those Heroic Spirits...even if he can't beat them, they should run away. As for Cefalu...No, logically speaking, the Suppression Force should know that Cefalu is very strong, so strong that he can compete with gods, so they shouldn't send Heroic Spirits to die."

"So it shouldn't be me who died after becoming a heroic spirit." Scratching his head in annoyance, Tony stood up, picked up the towel beside him, wiped his body roughly, and put on his shorts. For some reason, he always had an inexplicable feeling of irritation in his heart, a feeling of powerlessness, which made Tony feel very annoyed.

PS: I will check the previous statistics and open a new bounty later.

Chapter 254 It’s time to prepare for the Nero Festival

"How have you been lately, brother?" About two days later, one morning, Tony was eating his breakfast when he suddenly saw his sister outside the door.

"I think it's OK." Tony shrugged and said meaningfully, "Except for not being able to go out, everything else is fine."

"There is no other way." Nero was also a little helpless. In order to gild Tony's reputation, he arranged a position for him as the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Legion. In name, Tony could basically control the military and political power of the entire East in wartime.

Of course, this is only in name.

In fact, everyone knows that Tony is just a child. It’s okay for him to bully the Picts with their crude tactics, but if he really wants to fight the Parthian Empire...with Tony’s strategic and tactical abilities, it’s better to forget it.

It was for this reason that the Senate successively appointed Vespasianus and Lius as Tony's lieutenants to "help" Tony command the battle.

Unexpectedly, Tony was a man who acted on his impulse. He first fought the Battle of Apamea, and won with superior forces. There was nothing to say about it. After all, the Pontic rebels could basically be regarded as a mob. The reason why they had not been wiped out for a long time was, first, because they had a mass base, and second, because at that time the army in the Anatolian Peninsula was basically concentrated on the Armenia-Parthia front, and there were no extra troops to deal with them.

So in the end Tony took advantage of the situation and recaptured Apamea.

Nero was already somewhat dissatisfied with this matter. After all, it was too dangerous to command the battle on the front line. After Drusus' death, Tony was the only boy left in the direct bloodline of the Julia Claudian dynasty. If something happened to Tony... what would happen? !

Then Tony took his guards and secretly attacked the village of Ur, just to save Simon Kefar.

Needless to say, Nero brought his men to capture Tony from the front line with great fanfare and gave him a good beating. However, considering that Tony still had to continue to command the war, Nero did not remove Tony from his position as commander-in-chief of the Eastern Legion. He simply ordered Leius to serve as deputy commander and banned Tony from going to the front line to prevent him from going too far and losing his life.

But now, here comes the problem.

Even if Tony went there to gild himself, even if he personally conquered Apamea and proposed a new strategic proposition to lay the foundation for this victory, the question is... What does it mean that you, the coach, are not on the front line? The people of Rome are not blind. Isn't it a bit too much for you, the coach, to go to the shopping street or the snack street for no reason?

Taking into account that the war was over and Levi and others were on their way back, and also considering that the Claudius family could not afford to lose this man, Nero simply threw Tony out of Rome and temporarily placed him under house arrest in this villa. One reason was to cover up his mistake and not want the residents of Rome to continue gossiping, and the second reason was to make it convenient for him to meet up with Levi and others and participate in the triumphal ceremony.

After all, this triumphal ceremony has to start outside the city.

The Battle of Parthia was the first foreign war since Nero ascended the throne. Although it did not achieve the strategic effect Tony wanted, overall it was a great victory and a battle that would go down in history. So... our Majesty Nero naturally planned to build a triumphal arch to commemorate this victory.

"Okay, sister. I know that it's a bit too much for me to wander around Rome as the commander-in-chief of the front line, so I don't intend to blame you for anything. But... do you remember my advice in Thessalonika before?"

"Ah? What?" Nero was stunned. Back in Thessalonica, Tony seemed to have given a lot of suggestions...

"Ahem, that's the suggestion, the suggestion to hold a sports game belonging to the Roman Empire modeled after the ancient Greek games." Tony coughed twice. I'm sorry to all of you in later generations, I'm sorry to all of you lunar players, I, Prince Tony Claudius Germanicus of Odeni, am now under house arrest and I'm very unhappy, so, I'm going to get my revenge on you!

"Ah! That one!" Nero remembered this proposal. Tony had originally proposed to organize a national sports event modeled after the Olympic Games. However, due to the war, only a football match was held in Thessalonica, and nothing happened afterwards.

Why did Tony suddenly think of this today?

"Sister, I've thought about it. Although Cefalu killed the god of war Mars and is now on the way to attack Rome, it is undeniable that there are many other gods in this world. They will not allow Cefalu to destroy the civilization on earth." Tony rolled his eyes slightly and thought for a while before speaking to Nero.

It is undeniable that the Wandering Soldiers are very powerful, even powerful enough to kill gods, but there is a question, why didn't Cefalu...get rid of the gods ten thousand years ago?

There was only one answer Tony could think of, which was that Cefalu might have tied with the gods last time, or might have been able to gain an advantage in the battle with the gods, but for various reasons, Cefalu could not completely kill the gods as he knew in the Type-Moon history.

Besides, this restraining force probably hasn't yet produced the holy sword, so the Roman Empire may not necessarily perish by becoming an enemy of Cefalu.

After all, there are still many gods who will take the blame for the empire.

Anyway, I have nothing to do these days, so I might as well figure out the Nero Festival first.

"So... we can still hold the sports meeting, right?" Nero asked, looking at Tony with almost shining eyes.

"That's about it." Tony nodded.

As we all know, Nero liked art and sports, and, um, exposing his panties. Ahem, the latter is not the point. Anyway, let’s not talk about art. Nero was good at pigeons and parrots... Oh no, she was good at singing and dancing. It is said that if the Senate hadn’t pulled her away, she would have gone on stage to perform a play.

As for sports...to be honest, in this era, there is no noble who doesn't like sports.

Unlike farmers and small businessmen, the days of nobles are mostly empty, lonely and cold. They always need to find something to kill time, such as hunting, racing and so on.

That's right, one of the entertainment activities for the nobles of this era is to catch shrimps in a horse-drawn carriage. Anyway, if you can pass this bend well, you will be applauded and encouraged. If you can't pass it... It's okay, if His Highness is in a good mood, he will attend your funeral and cry.

So, Tony quickly came up with the general content of the Nero Festival.

Since common people have to work, not many people will participate. The main participants in the games are no more than nobles and their slaves. Therefore, the sports events are mainly divided into two categories. One category is some events in modern sports games, and the other category is some competitive events unique to this era.

PS: Oh my god, I really didn’t expect to be so tired today. I went to the comic convention with my classmates, and walked from morning to five in the afternoon. My phone was almost out of battery from taking so many photos. I fell asleep right after I got back. Plus, something happened to me yesterday so I didn’t save any drafts, and even yesterday’s update was posted very late, so... I’ll only write one chapter today. I’ll go to bed first, and I’ll make up the rest the day after tomorrow.

Well, I have to go out tomorrow, and someone is treating me to dinner in the evening so I'll probably have some drinks. I'll try to update as early as possible.

Chapter 255: Preparations for the Nero Festival

During the time when Tony was locked up by his sister, it wasn't as if he did nothing.

As mentioned before, after being captured by Nero from the front line of the Asia Minor Peninsula, Tony did three things. The first thing was to prepare to establish a Roman customs, the second thing was to prepare a map surveying department, and as for the third thing... that was naturally to form a fleet.

As the saying goes, it takes ten years to build an air force and a hundred years to build a navy, which means that it takes ten years to build an air force, but it takes a hundred years to build a perfect navy.

Tony wants to have a fleet of his own.

The efficiency of using feces to extract saltpeter is too low. Tony plans to build a trade fleet first and go to India to buy some saltpeter. However, since he is poor and has no money now, the idea of ​​building large ships and forming a trade fleet... is just something he can think about for now.

The Roman customs could not be established overnight, and there was no money to build ships, so the only thing that could be done now was to set up a mapping department.

As a man from the future, Tony certainly knows the importance of placing wards to open up vision. Not to mention anything else, as far as the accuracy of current maps is concerned, apart from the maps Tony drew based on his memories of his previous life, the most accurate map is actually the map drawn by the Ptolemaic dynasty back then.

Tony had seen this map in Alexandria. On the map, Tony could vaguely identify the whole of Europe, northern Africa, the Arabian region, the Indian Peninsula and part of Indochina. In other words, the Egyptians should have had trade relations with Indochina at that time.

It’s a pity, if we had gone a little further, perhaps the Maritime Silk Road would have been opened.

After Tony came back from the Anatolian Peninsula last time, he began to recruit people to set up a map surveying and mapping department. There were many masters in this era, and some of them even drew the whole picture of a city, but Tony did not want them to draw the whole picture. He just wanted to use simple lines to draw a bird's-eye view of the city.
