Chapter 289: Extrapolating the Future

Crete.

Li Ji received Artoria's message and understood their experience in Northern Europe, and suddenly set his eyes on the Three Thousand Worlds Tower.

After receiving more information, the fog suddenly lifted, the world line was further stabilized, and even the mastermind who only tried to insert became clearly visible, and they were no longer ignorant of them.

"Interestingly, even as rumors arose, didn't our enemies see Nero as a threat? If from the enemy's point of view, Rome has decayed to this point, and the Eastern Roman Empire is just an empty shell, just relying on one more person and one sword, it is indeed insignificant, but how can the methods of immortals and the backhand left by the Roman ancestors be so simple. ”

"In this case, it is not too late to wait until Constantinople is down, and then let Nero's demeanor resound on the continent, and only by making a name for himself in that battle can he be worthy of the title of Rose Sword Emperor."

Li Ji thought secretly.

Even so, he immediately noticed that there were two bad spawn directions in the worldline, and they led to the same bad end as in the game, which forced him to be cautious.

"First, is the Terror Demon King an uncertain factor? Even if the Terror Demon King of this world line can't turn back into the white giant of Sefalu, her strength is on par with Nero, and she can't be left alone..."

Li Ji meditated, and soon found the possibility by flipping through the discoveries on other world lines.

The answer is that the two kings of the distant barbarian kingdom, compared to others, they are not pure destroyers, but also the inheritors of the dark Middle Ages, with a respected status, who should not be in the same league as the mastermind behind the scenes, only to be controlled, it will become like this, maybe there will be a way to become their own helpers.

Li Ji hurriedly contacted Artoria and Morgan: "Are you still there, I have an important task for you to complete, return to Vat Alheim in the Nine Worlds, the realm of the dwarfs, and snatch away the holy relics that bind the two barbarian kings." ”

Artoria, Morgan replied vaguely over there, "Master... What did you say... Inaudible... Grab any holy relics? Location in... Alfheim? ”

"No, no, Artoria, please note that it's Watt Alheim, the world of gnomes, Alfheim." Li Ji had to emphasize loudly, for fear that Artoria Yu Morgan would make a mistake.

Hear Artoria give a clear response over her head.

He re-examined the Three Thousand World Tower, and with his own order just now, the derivation of the world line was reduced, which meant that the possibility of this bad world line was sealed, and he continued to calculate, considering how to solve the second crisis.

"The second one is from within Christianity?" He was alert, a little afraid that he would ignore such an important matter, but fortunately their enemies did not notice it either, and it was still too late to make amends.

In this way, it is expected to be foolproof.

"I don't want Nero to be something weird, anyway." He muttered, thinking of what would happen if the cute girl's painting style changed drastically, and got up on the spot, intending to go out.

On the outskirts of town, Nero and Aetius, Belisarius, and Narsis were training their soldiers.

During this time, relying on the military strategy and leadership of the heroic spirits, they easily recruited soldiers from the people in the surrounding areas, plus the non-rusty legionnaires who were salvaged from the shipwrecks on the nearby seabed and armed, and after half a month of intensive training, the Roman legions had initially formed combat effectiveness.

The size was exactly a standard Roman legion, consisting of a main legion, plus an auxiliary legion, numbering 8,000 men.

It's a pity that Nero, plus the three Heroic Spirits have all experienced the most glorious times of the empire, and understand that one legion is nothing, even in non-war times, Rome has more than fifteen legions to defend various places, and then think that they are facing the army of the ten barbarians plus the Terror Demon King, which is equivalent to the size of nearly thirty legions.

Li Ji didn't see any loneliness and silence on the faces of Nero and the three heroic spirits.

Even the newly recruited recruits are full of enthusiasm and confidence.

If you put yourself in their shoes and understand what the enemy is doing – plundering and destroying their homes, killing their captives and killing their relatives and friends, you will understand that there is no point in being afraid of retreating.

Besides, if you go to help the Eastern Roman Empire, if you cooperate with the defense of Constantinople, the remaining strength of the Eastern Roman Empire is probably a way to win more with less, and it is not so hopeless.

When Nero saw Li Ji coming, he came up without any anger and asked bluntly: "Performer, do you have something to do?" Can you let Yu listen to it? ”

"The day is approaching when the armies of the Ten Barbarians and the Dreadlord will gather in Constantinople, and I have noticed that there is one thing that is very relevant to you that has not been dealt with-"

"That is Your Majesty's relationship with Christianity."

Hearing this, Aetius, Belisarius, and Narciss's faces changed slightly, and when they thought of something, they realized that today's Roman state religion is no longer the Roman polytheism at the beginning of the country, but changed to Christianity a hundred years ago, and they have not forgotten what era the Emperor Nero in front of them came from and what he did.

When the girl heard this word, her brows furrowed and she remembered the thing that made her feel depressed: "It's so serious, can't you ignore it?" ”

Li Ji replied seriously: "I'm sorry it's impossible, that person, as well as the saints of later generations, have special powers, and if they are used by our enemies or even the masterminds behind the scenes, Rome will not even have any basis for existence." ”

"Are you going to make me apologize!?" Nero looked displeased, stubborn and didn't want to bow down to her former enemies and admit her mistakes.

"Most likely, His Majesty's conversion is needed!" Aetius whispered.

"No!" Nero exclaimed, his eyes widening, "Why do you have to believe that, at most tolerate their existence." ”

"Performer, Yu would rather continue to be the high priest of the Pantheon, or Yu believes in Taoism? Didn't you say that you don't have any apprentices at all, since you are my teacher, it's okay to become an apprentice further. ”

Li Ji was reluctant to let go when he saw Nero pulling his clothes, and reluctantly explained: "Don't worry, the matter is not directly related to faith, but related to the fire of Rome related to Your Majesty four hundred years ago, and the rumors of the massacre of Christian believers, which will be used by others, and we need to find Christianity to clarify this fact." ”

"Uh... Is Yu so powerful? Nero breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that something he hated didn't need to happen, and even smuggled himself.

"If it's just this thing, I don't know what Yu needs to do?"

"I don't need to do anything Nero, I'm just telling you that I'll do it myself, but because there are a lot of people involved, I can only do half of it, and then I'll wait until Constantinople comes!"
