Lin Qi, who was somewhat familiar with Caligula’s treasure, saw this and his pupils shrank, feeling something was wrong.

Without saying a word, he pulled Nero and ran away at full speed.

“what–!”

Caligula stood there, roaring unconsciously, the light on his chest growing brighter and brighter.

After accumulating to a critical point, it suddenly explodes.

[Devour my heart, Moonlight (C)]!

A strange full moon suddenly appeared in the center of the battlefield.

Lin Qi roughly knew the effect of Caligula’s treasure, so after running to Nero’s battle group, he hurriedly stopped.

There was no time to explain. Lin Qi unfolded the flag with a golden iris pattern and activated his treasure right after that.

A faint golden light spread behind them, covering Nero and her soldiers, and inevitably protecting some enemy soldiers as well.

The soldiers on both sides were all blood-thirsty at this moment, but after seeing this fantastic scene, they couldn’t help but be stunned.

Then they saw a rather horrifying scene.

The soldiers outside the golden light were like crazy, their eyes were bloodshot, and they attacked the people around them without distinguishing between friend and foe.

He chopped off a man’s head, but had no intention of stopping, swinging his weapon wildly at the motionless body.

The soldier suddenly stopped moving, but instead of regaining consciousness, he was stabbed through the heart by another crazy soldier.

No one cared about their own injuries, as if they had no sense of pain. They just hacked at anyone they saw, and every blow was fatal. There was not a single intact body on the ground.

Later on, even teeth and claws became weapons, and all the soldiers were fighting each other like mindless beasts.

Bloody and horrible.

The soldiers who were not affected within the range of Lin Qi’s treasure, even though they had experienced many battles, were filled with fear and trembling all over when they encountered this scene that seemed like hell on earth.

Many soldiers had already vomited, and even their weapons had fallen out of their hands unconsciously.

Lin Qi was not feeling much better at the moment. He greatly underestimated the effect of Caligula’s treasure on the battlefield. This scene was impacting his spirit all the time, making him feel so sick that he wanted to vomit.

Lin Qi’s mind was wavering.

But it just so happened that his Noble Phantasm was dependent on his status. Even though it had the effect of resisting mental abnormalities, he had to face the dual influence of Caligula’s Noble Phantasm and his own inner fluctuations.

It began to shake at this moment, and the area it covered was gradually shrinking.

Upon realizing that the state of the golden light protecting them was not right, all the soldiers panicked. Even though they were from different camps, they all huddled together for warmth and moved towards the center of the light.

Lin Qi’s face turned pale, and the light from the flag became dimmer. Some moonlight even penetrated Lin Qi’s defense line and shone on some of the soldiers.

As a result, the mental state of some soldiers in the golden light began to show abnormalities.

Lin Qi could only grit his teeth and persevere, suppressing the urge to vomit.

At this moment, a white and tender little hand suddenly climbed onto the treasure that originally belonged to Joan of Arc.

“My uncle is such a worry. He has given me another big problem…”

The petite red figure muttered to herself and held the holy flag together with Lin Qi.

From the look on Nero’s face that I caught out of the corner of my eye, he wasn’t looking much better.

“Fortunately, I have capable people under my command – um, I have decided! From now on, you will be my personal bodyguard with a sword! With your agility, you will be able to ensure my safety in the next battle!”

“…Speaking of which, Your Majesty, is there really such an official position here?”

“You’re so long-winded! If I say so, it’s mine!”

“Let’s get through this difficult time first, and then we can talk about other things. You’ve done well enough, and now it’s up to me to take over!”

Nero, who had already noticed that Lin Qi’s condition was declining, said this.

Under Nero’s extreme self-awareness, a red light spread upward along the flagpole, and in the blink of an eye it covered the entire flag.

【Emperor’s privilege】!

Although she is not a Heroic Spirit, Nero still uses this inherent skill that can only be used after she becomes a Heroic Spirit.

As if it had received a shot of adrenaline, the light emanating from the flag turned into golden red, and the shaky situation finally stopped, becoming extremely stable.

Chapter 17: Return to the Capital

The strange full moon finally set, and Lin Qi and Nero also stopped their treasures when they saw it.

As the golden-red protective shield disappeared, the scene outside finally appeared completely before everyone’s eyes.

The ground was littered with corpses, some of which were even twitching unconsciously. The flowing blood dyed the land red, as if a thin layer of blood mist had been spread on the battlefield.

Just looking at this scene is enough to know what kind of horrific turmoil has taken place.

“What on earth is this……”

The soldiers who were conscious stared blankly at the blood-red scene in front of them, and their weapons fell unconsciously.

It seems that he has lost the will to fight.

Letting go of the hand holding the flag, Nero didn’t care at all about the fact that he and Lin Qi were actually very close just now.

Then he put his hands on his hips and looked towards the distance where Caligula was.

From afar, golden dots of light were dancing freely where the full moon had disappeared, and there was no trace of Caligula.

Nero couldn’t help but frown and sighed.

“It suddenly appeared inexplicably and then disappeared? I feel like the Roman Empire is getting weirder and weirder…”

Since she is not a Heroic Spirit, she finds the current situation increasingly difficult to understand.

“That means he has retired. If no one summons your uncle, he probably won’t appear again.”

Hearing Nero’s muttering, Lin Qi looked at the flag in his hand and took the opportunity to interject.

“Oh, it seems you know a lot, my guard!”

Nero looked at Lin Qi with shining eyes.

What she needs most now is a character who can answer her current situation!

Lin Qi seemed not to have heard Nero’s words, and was still looking at the flag with a puzzled look on his face.

Seeing this, Nero followed Lin Qi’s gaze and saw that the flag in his hand had changed.

There was a hint of understanding and complacency in his eyes.

“Hehe, no need to look any further, this is exactly the result of my sudden inspiration!”

“Since you have become my guard and are holding the flag, how can you not put my logo on the flag?”

“If you wave a flag on the battlefield in the future, but you hold a flag that has nothing to do with me, wouldn’t it make my army seem divided?”

Nero said reasonably.

That’s right, in just a short period of time, Nero actually used the [Emperor’s Privilege] to change the pattern on the flag that Lin Qi inherited from Joan of Arc.

But not much has changed.

It adds bright red rose patterns to the original golden iris.

Now the two different patterns are intertwined, which not only does not destroy the original beauty, but makes the flag more colorful.

“How is it? Isn’t it much better looking than the previous style? You know, my artistic beauty is so beautiful that even gods would tremble!”

Nero put his hands on his hips proudly.

“That’s not wrong, is it?”

Lin Qi reluctantly rolled up the flag again.

Lin Qi, who had played games and watched anime, certainly knew what kind of willful emperor this was, but he didn’t expect him to be so eccentric.

Anyway, the flag was not damaged and even looked better, so Lin Qi was too lazy to worry about it.

“By the way, where are you from? As far as I know, there shouldn’t be anyone as talented as you in Rome.”

Nero asked doubtfully.

“You also know that my identity is unclear? Yet you still gave me two official titles as if nothing had happened.”

Lin Qi looked at Nero speechlessly.

“What does that matter? I can tell at a glance that you are a loyal subject who can be used by me!”

Nero patted Lin Qi’s shoulder nonchalantly.

“Besides, I have already appointed you to an official position. So you are now under my command, right?”

“…I really hope I can have the same mental state as His Majesty the Emperor…”

Lin Qi spoke weakly, but did not refute Nero’s words.

Because he really came to support Nero, and he was the type of person who would protect her at the risk of his life.

“Stop! Don’t talk about those unimportant things. Tell me what you know that I don’t know first, which is the important thing!”

Nero stretched out his hand to signal that the current topic should be dropped, then looked at Lin Qi expectantly.

Lin Qi was also honest. After all, he knew that Nero was a character that he must win over. He just organized his words a little and then revealed his background and some information.

——The Crimson King——

“I see, I see. You actually came back from the future to support me. This is so incredible…”

Nero nodded repeatedly, and a lot of confusing things in his mind were finally sorted out with the help of Lin Qi’s information.

Looking at Nero who seemed to understand everything, Lin Qi couldn’t help but blink.

“Your Majesty doesn’t seem very surprised?”

Lin Qi asked.

“How can I not be surprised? It’s just that my Rome has become so chaotic that I’m not surprised at all.”

“On my current Roman territory, to the west is the Roman army led by Caesar’s ancestors. I just met my uncle. To the north is Boudica, who has also gained incredible powers. Recently, I heard rumors that gods appeared in the Mediterranean…”

Nero counted on his fingers and told the news he knew in detail.

“To be honest, even if all the ancestors of Rome crawled out of the earth now, I wouldn’t be surprised even if the God Ancestor appeared in front of me – that God Ancestor shouldn’t really show up, right?”

Nero suddenly became unconfident at the end.

It’s easy to deal with other people, but if this founding god really appeared, Nero wouldn’t know what to do.

Lin Qi, who knew the plot, listened to Nero’s news silently without saying anything.

He can’t just say, “Oh, you guessed it right”, right?

“Hmm! It’s better not to think about such an impossible thing!”

Nero shook his head, forcing himself not to think about this possibility.

A breeze blew by, and the sticky smell of blood was inhaled into everyone’s nose along with the breeze.

People who smell fishy smells want to vomit.

“This is not a good place to talk. Let’s go back to the Roman capital with Yu first.”

Nero frowned and said immediately.

“Everyone! Whether you are soldiers who originally belonged to my army, or were enemies with me just a few minutes ago, you are now allowed to listen to my words!”

The soldiers came to their senses and involuntarily turned their eyes to Nero.

Nero nodded in satisfaction.

“Hmm! Very good. You have clearly witnessed the tragic scene just now. The battles to come may be even more tragic than this. So I will give you a chance. No matter who you are, any soldier who wants to withdraw from this war can leave now!”

The soldiers looked at each other, as if it was hard to believe that Nero, a superior, would say such a thing.

Are you really going to let him go?
