Chapter XIII: The United Empire
As Perseus said, the current situation of war is indeed unfavorable for Nero's side, and it is overwhelmingly unfavorable.
All of them were beaten by the enemy to the capital city of Rome, and the blockade of the surrounding area was completed, and no one would believe that they were superior or evenly matched.
Hesitating that this time there was no dragon attacking the city and slaughtering wantonly, so on the surface, Rome in the first century AD was not as miserable as France in 1431.
But this is only the surface after all, although the evil dragon army of Joan of Arc looks terrifying, it is actually taking advantage of the decapitation tactics and plunging France into chaos, and in fact it does not control much area.
This was not the case with Rome, a vast Roman Empire of which even France was a part of it, and was now torn apart by rebel armies. Even if Nero had mobilized all the forces he could, the satraps and generals who had been stationed in the possession would not have been able to stop the situation.
In the end, Nero could only control the surrounding area centered on the capital city of Rome, and almost all the others fell, and even if they did not fall, it was difficult to make an effective counterattack without receiving orders from the emperor.
The reason for such a bad situation does not need Nero to say, and Perseus can guess that the Servant, only the Servant with overwhelming power can cripple such a huge empire that is on the rise in a short period of time.
According to Nero's information, the enemy was a force that suddenly appeared and claimed to be the "United Roman Empire". The reason why it is "united" is because there are many monarchs in the empire, and each of them is a famous king in the history of mankind. Caligula, the third emperor of the Roman Empire that Rika and his entourage met, was one of the kings of the "United Roman Empire".
While Perseus was burning his body, his army was superior in strength to cut off the connection between Nero and the city of Rome, and he attacked Nero himself.
Nero's court magician, who is also Nero's greatest reliance, is known as Magus, who is beyond life and death, and was killed by Caligula without even holding on to a knife.
If it weren't for the fact that he happened to meet Lika and others, Nero might have died here, and in this way, Rome would have fallen, and this era would have come to an end.
Therefore, Nero did not hesitate to believe in the sudden appearance of Tachika and his party, and brought them back to the palace, almost as much as they wanted. Of course, there are reasons for Nero's own bold style, and it is also indispensable to hope that with the help of the power of Rika and others, he will confront the "United Roman Empire".
The battle outside Rome was an eye-opener for Nero. For some reason, the "resurrected" Caligula was already as powerful as a monster, but such a monster was beaten by a cane, and Marda, who looked very kind, fled in the wilderness.
In addition, Joan of Arc's ability to command the army, Matthew's strong guardianship ability, and Rikka's extraordinary courage also impressed her.
Their words might help them get out of the crisis and revive the Roman Empire, so they immediately made a move.
This is exactly what happened to the Chaldeans, Nero was the Roman Emperor at the time, and with her help, he was able to greatly improve the process of exploring and repairing the peculiarities.
"I understand the specifics. Although I already knew that the situation was not good, I didn't expect it to be so bad. ”
After listening to Nero's account, Perseus sighed and then smiled strangely.
"Hehe, the 'United Empire', thanks to their ability to unite, so many arrogant emperors gather together, aren't they afraid that they will fight first?"
"Hmm, Yu was also curious. There is only one sun in the sky, and there will be no two emperors in a country, Yu has always thought so. However, the United Empire did have multiple emperors, and there was no sign of infighting at all. ”
Perhaps a little long, Nero shifted to a slightly more casual sitting position, unconcerned that the slit in the tulle skirt would reveal a seductive landscape. Perhaps, she chose such a dress because she was happy to show her beauty.
"Therefore, Yu hopes that you who go deep into the enemy will be able to find out the truth, find the base camp of the rebels, and prepare for the future counterattack."
"It's such a difficult task from the beginning." Perseus smacked.
Yu also knows the difficulty of the task. Before the arrival of the princes, Yu sent people to investigate more than once, but they didn't come back, and Yu had nothing to do, so please. ”
At this point, Nero's face showed a depth, grief, and sadness that did not match his age, but he was not depressed. I'm afraid that this young emperor, even if she dies in battle, will not give up resistance, which is her pride as an emperor.
"Of course, Yu is not the kind of emperor who makes people work for nothing. Although you are not by Yu's side, Yu cannot reward him in person, but Yu swears in the name of Rome that Yu will crown you as governor once the war improves. Fiefdoms are up to you, Britain, Gaul, even if you want Greece, Yu will not refuse. ”
"It is rumored that Your Majesty has a bold style, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation." Perseus complimented.
"If you don't give, you won't get anything in return, it's a simple truth. If you have any other requirements, just ask for them, and the rest that can be met will be satisfied. ”
"Maps and other tasks are needed, you don't need me to mention them, Roman will communicate with you. As for the reward, it's not too late for me to find out, and I can't do anything about asking for a reward without merit. What about the other conditions...... There are two more. ”
"Which two?"
"First, please march as soon as possible to attract the attention of the rebels. The more troops they send to the front, the less pressure there will be on my side. ”
"There's no need to worry about that, I've already arranged for a counteroffensive tomorrow. With the support of the princes, Yu will definitely win. ”
"Second, I need support. The combination of the conquering king Iskandar and the great army master Zhuge Kongming made me suffer a lot, and to be honest, I am really not very sure about it alone. ”
"This ......," Nero hesitated, "Yu ...... I have to say sorry, Yu ...... There are no more people around to send out. ”
"I'll go, let me go."
Joan of Arc, who has changed her clothes, appears in the projection. Incidentally, all Chaldean servants, including her, wore Chaldean uniforms when they were not fighting, and Perseus had already said that it was the same style as Roman, and Joan of Arc and Marda were the same style as Matthew.
"Marda and Matthew need to act together with the Master, so they are not suitable as reinforcements, and I am the only one left."
Joan of Arc, like Perseus, is fused with the Holy Grail, has complete autonomy, and is equipped with a black technology communication bracelet. In the city of Rome now, there is no one more suitable for fighting alone than her.
