One man’s Chaldea
Page 17
Seeing Nero’s serious expression that didn’t seem fake, the soldiers who were originally on the enemy side were moved and signaled to each other with their eyes.
“It’s just a bloody scene. How can there be a battlefield without blood? If you can’t stand this, just go back and hug your mother and cry!”
The soldier who Nero said he would be promoted was the first to speak, speaking in a loud voice and with a disdainful tone.
He actually cursed every soldier who was scared.
The enemy soldiers were stunned. Is this a bit bloody? Have you ever seen such a scene in your life?
But Nero’s soldiers were angry. How could they tolerate this?
“That’s right! Don’t forget how His Majesty the Emperor protected us just now. He failed to protect our Lord, and now he wants to run away after the battle. Do you have the nerve to tell others about this?”
“Has no one noticed that the young man next to the Emperor looks much younger than us? Now he looks fine. Are we not even as good as the young people who are younger than us?”
“I’m going to make this clear today. If anyone dares to run away, I’ll chop him into eighteen pieces right there!”
“In short, give your heart to your majesty!”
“Give me your heart!”
The soldiers were talking at once. Even though Nero didn’t say a word, they were all getting excited and raising their fists high.
All we can say is that the soldiers led by Nero himself might have had some involvement.
The enemy soldiers looked at each other, and their eyes revealed the same meaning.
How about we shout along?
“Hmm! In that case, let’s return to the capital!”
Nero looked at his soldiers with satisfaction and waved his hand to signal everyone to go back.
“Um, do we want that too?”
The unwilling enemy soldier pointed at himself and asked unwillingly.
“Of course! You are now under His Majesty’s command, and from now on we are a family!”
Nero’s soldiers hugged the rebel and shook their sandbag-sized fists in front of his face with a forced smile.
“Don’t you think so…”
This dissenting soldier wisely chose to follow his heart.
Lin Qi looked at everything in front of him in silence, always feeling that his painting style was somewhat out of tune with theirs.
“Hey, Yu Zhi’s guard, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and catch up!”
Nero turned around and saw Lin Qi standing there in a daze, so he waved and shouted.
Looking at Nero’s actions, Lin Qi smiled helplessly.
But this is also quite good….
He breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Qi drew a few runes that summoned fire, turning the mess here into a sea of fire.
Then hurriedly catch up with the main force.
“You set the fire well! I was just worrying about what to do with these corpses. There are not enough troops to deal with them, but it is not appropriate to leave them alone…”
“Could it be that your and Yu’s thoughts are surprisingly synchronized?”
“In fact, I’m just afraid that some magician will come out and use these corpses to cause trouble for us…”
……
If it really doesn’t work, I’ll just keep the original boss in the game plot unchanged, at least it won’t require much from my writing skills…
But I will also try my best to write a feeling that is different from the original plot.
(Well, don’t expect too much.)
Anyway, I think I am the type who has a lot of ideas, but my writing skills are not very good. I can’t control the rhythm of the plot very well. The first singularity in the previous part is that the rhythm is too fast.
(But the first singularity itself is a race against time, there is no time for people to chat more, I can only hope that everyone will not take it too seriously.)
The second singularity will be relatively easy in the early and middle stages, and then it will start to become more powerful.
Chapter 4500: Long Defensive Battle ()
The place where the battle with Caligula took place was actually very close to the capital of Rome, and it would not take much time to get there even if you walked.
As for why he didn’t ride a horse, Nero could only say that his uncle’s treasure truly treated all beings equally, and the horses of both sides were not much better than humans after being illuminated by the moonlight.
Anyway, each one of them is extremely abstract and doesn’t look like it’s meant for people to ride on.
Only a few horses that were not affected were brought back by Nero’s men.
When the city approached the Roman capital, Lin Qi realized that it was not peaceful here either. There were scattered pieces of armor and bloodstains everywhere under the city wall, as well as many unprocessed limbs and arms.
It looks like a fierce battle took place not long ago.
“Seeing this, you should have guessed that my army is undoubtedly at a disadvantage now. They have been beaten to the capital.”
Looking at the mess under the city wall, a trace of fatigue flashed in Nero’s eyes.
“If you regret it now, I can also let you find a master who is more suitable than me. Well, the official position is also reserved for you at any time.”
Nero quickly adjusted his expression, turned around to look at Lin Qi, and said jokingly.
But now that things have come to this, how could Lin Qi have any room to back down?
“If I really run away now, won’t I be scolded by your soldiers?”
Lin Qi looked helpless.
“Besides, I originally came here to help His Majesty Nero, so until this war is completely over, as long as I am not dead, I will always protect His Majesty.”
Lin Qi’s voice was calm but powerful.
Anyone can feel the unchangeable will of the person speaking.
The reason why Lin Qi was so sure was not only because Nero was the one who had to be protected on this trip, but more because of his love for the character when he played games in the past.
——If I have to say, Lin Qi actually likes Nero more than before she met Joan of Arc.
(Hey! Here we have to mention Jeanne’s bad whistle performance in a certain anime plot)
Lin Qi’s words hit Nero right in the center, directly hitting his weak spot.
“Hmm! You are worthy of being my bodyguard! I just said two words, but even I felt excited as if I could face thousands of troops!”
Nero’s face flushed, and he was very excited.
“In that case, could it be that my guards have the ability to lead an army?”
Nero stroked his chin seriously.
“I don’t think I have that talent at all…”
Joan of Arc also has leadership qualities, but Lin Qi shows no signs of inheriting them, which shows that even if he has talent in this area, it is not that great.
“How can you know if you don’t try this kind of thing? Everything needs practice. I will assign a small army to you when we get back!”
“Ugh……”
Lin Qi sighed tiredly.
Nero was very recognizable. The soldiers on the city wall only needed to see him from afar to show their joy on their faces. Regardless of the fatigue from being on guard for a long time, they hurriedly opened the city gates.
People entered the city one after another.
Nero brought Lin Qi and naturally walked onto a wooden platform under the gaze of a group of soldiers.
“Hmm! Soldiers did a great job! I only saw the results of the battle below the city wall and knew your perseverance and hard work. The enemy is indeed fierce. I think you must be very tired after holding out for so long under such an attack, right?”
“Defending Rome and serving His Majesty is what we wish!” ×N
The soldiers defending the city seemed to have swept away their previous fatigue. They looked at Nero with shining eyes and roared in unison.
“Good! You are very energetic! No matter whether you have the idea of not being able to hold on, you don’t need to worry too much at this moment, because I am back!”
“Oh——!”×N
“And I also brought back a very outstanding guest general. He will also join this war as my bodyguard and help us seize the dawn of victory!”
Nero said as he raised one of Lin Qi’s hands.
“Oh——!”×N
Lin Qi awkwardly greeted the soldiers with his other hand.
“Hmm! Next, let’s blow the horn of counterattack, wield our deadly weapons, and completely take back our Rome from those false emperors!”
“There is only victory ahead of us! Even if we shed our last drop of blood, we will seize the final fruits of victory for Rome, so – for Rome!!!”
Nero raised her fist and looked around at the soldiers below the stage, who responded with even more passionate roars.
“For Rome——!!!” ×N
“For His Majesty Nero——!!!” ×N
No one thinks this is fake chicken soup.
After all, although Nero was the emperor and was in charge of many affairs, in the current battle, Nero even rushed forward faster than these soldiers.
Coupled with Nero’s unique personal charm, how could one not follow such an existence with longing?
What’s more, this is a war to defend our country.
Therefore, they firmly believe that the path they are taking now is the most correct one!
In this warm red “ocean”, the silent Lin Qi seemed a little out of place.
“Is this the existence called Nero……”
Lin Qi took in everything in front of him and was a little dazed.
He had no idea what kind of person Nero was in the official history, but in this Type-Moon world, the Nero that appeared before his eyes seemed to be really shining…
After confirming the rotation of the patrol soldiers, Nero and his crew, who had been running around for several days, finally had some time to rest.
Returning to his magnificent bedroom, Nero stretched lazily in relaxation.
As Nero’s “boudoir”, the decoration inside is also quite recognizable. While maintaining luxury, red, gold, and rose styles are all present.
“Hmm, I’m finally home. I’ve been living in the tent for a while, and my sleep quality is not that good…”
Looking at his soft bed, Nero dived into it with an expression of enjoyment.
“Hmm? Do you want to try it too? This is a treasure that I have summoned the country’s top craftsmen to create. Even compared to the things used by gods, it is not inferior!”
Nero turned his head to look at Lin Qi who was standing at the door and didn’t come in, and invited him without any hesitation.
“Let’s just forget it…”
Lin Qi felt that Nero seemed to be a little too nice to him. He was a little flattered.
“Let me make it clear in advance that my gift to you is only for this one time. If you miss this opportunity, I won’t easily reward you next time!”
Nero supported his head with one hand and patted the bed beside him with a smile.
This is temptation!
“Even if you say so, this is inappropriate…”
Lin Qi said helplessly.
“It’s bad, Your Majesty! There are more enemies outside!”
Before the two had time to struggle, a panicked voice suddenly came from outside the bedroom.
“Huh? Their military strength is so abundant? After all the fighting, they still have enough strength to attack the city?”
Nero no longer had the heart to tease Lin Qi, and he jumped up from the bed with a bang.
His face was full of disbelief.
Theoretically speaking, this is the era of Nero, and she is the emperor of the empire, so she should have the advantage in military strength.
But the reality is not like this. For example, when Nero came back from the front, he encountered two or three groups of soldiers that were larger than the ones he brought back, plus the losses from the siege…
Nero even wanted to ask, don’t your soldiers have to pay?
