One man’s Chaldea

And we need to make a more perfect plan to kill him right there.
Not for anything else, just to complete the task and vent my anger.
“Anyway, in my era, everyone who was an adult should know you. If we talk about the popularity of assassins in Shenzhou, you should be the most famous one.”
Lin Qi gave Jing Ke a thumbs up.
“It’s just that the popularity seems to be a little too high, so there are many inexplicable derivative plots…”
Lin Qi scratched his head awkwardly.
“What plot?”
Jing Ke asked curiously.
Lin Qi told Jing Ke about some of the stories that were widely circulated on the Internet, such as a dagger being longer than a map, a mace wrapped inside the map, and so on.
“Hahaha! Why are people from your era so weird?”
Instead of getting angry, Jing Ke burst into laughter.
“There’s a mace wrapped inside the map—hahahaha…”
Jing Ke imagined that possibility and laughed so hard that his whole body shook. He kept slapping his thighs and almost couldn’t breathe.
“If I hold the mace, I might not even get to see that guy, but the thought of being able to get there with the mace makes me feel so happy. Hahahahaha—”
The scene was so beautiful that Jing Ke found it hard to tell what expression would appear on the First Emperor’s face.
After the pre-war mobilization and giving some instructions to his subordinates, Nero finally got around to it.
While I was still wondering where to find someone, I heard Jing Ke’s loud and clear laughter.
Following the direction of the sound, I saw that our guest generals were gathered in a corner.
“My fellow soldiers, what are you talking about? Why are you laughing so happily?”
“Haha… It’s nothing, just some uninteresting things that probably only I and this fellow villager know.”
Hearing Nero’s question, Jing Ke wiped the tears from laughing at the corners of his eyes and answered casually.
“Huh? Real or fake?”
Nero looked at the two men suspiciously.
“That’s true. If there’s no one from the same country as me, no one would understand what I just said.”
Lin Qi explained helplessly.
Nero didn’t quite understand what Lin Qi meant, but it didn’t matter for such a small matter.
“Forget it. It just so happens that you are all here. I don’t have to send people to look for you. There is a combat meeting to be held next. You can’t be absent!”
“Should I go too?”
Lin Qi pointed at himself.
“Of course! You are my personal bodyguard, so you should have a general understanding of the current battlefield!”
“And General Jing Ke, you are also a rare talent, you also need to go and listen!”
Nero looked at Jing Ke who was secretly drinking beside him.
“Huh? I, an assassin, became a general?”
Jing Ke raised his eyebrows.
But in fact, she just led an assassination.
“As for the remaining two sturdy generals, well… just stay here and recuperate!”
Nero looked up at the two berserkers, hesitated for a moment, and spoke decisively.
It’s not that I don’t want to bring them along, but even if they get involved, with their level of frenzy, can they really listen to a single word I say?
Hearing Nero’s words, Lu Bu exhaled a breath of white air and then remained silent.
Spartacus still maintained the smile he had just had, quietly looking at everyone in front of him.
–split line–

“…The above is all the information we know about our army and the pseudo-empire’s army.”
After the intelligence officer finished speaking, he tactfully stepped back.
This intelligence officer was the one whom Nero casually appointed during his war with Caligula.
One has to admit that Nero’s vision might be tinged with metaphysics. It was obvious that this guy had never dealt with related things before, but he managed them in perfect order once he started.
It makes those who were originally in charge of these things feel ashamed of themselves.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
Nero nodded, then frowned.
Because the allied forces appeared suddenly and occupied half of Rome’s territory in a short time, Nero’s side had no idea what the other side was like.
Send a spy, but there will be no news once he goes there.
In the end, Nero realized that the other side was also using the Roman flag and had the support of Rome’s previous emperor.
Everything about the other side seemed to be covered with a layer of fog.
And the most critical thing is that they don’t have an advantage in terms of military strength. How many times more powerful are the opposing forces than Nero’s?
“The current situation is that Caesar’s base is in Gaul, but the leader of the coalition is not him. There is a higher-level existence… Where is the real base of the coalition forces?”
Everything else is easy to deal with, but if you don’t even know where the opponent’s base camp is, how can you win?
“How about I go check it out? With my breath blocking skill, if I want to hide, basically no one can find me.”
Jing Ke volunteered.
Nero was considering Jing Ke’s proposal.
“Actually, I know a little bit about the location of the other side’s capital.”
Lin Qi suddenly spoke unconfidently.
“Oh? My guards also have good ideas!”
“It’s just an approximate location, for reference only.”
Lin Qi walked to the front of the map and carefully recalled the inventory in his head.
Although he really didn’t know how to read a map, he had no idea where he was on the map.
But Lin Qi also did his homework in Chaldea and looked carefully at the map of Chaldea and compared it with his own game memory.
At least Lin Qi had some impression of the location of the final boss battle.
Lin Qi pointed to a certain location on the map.
“Here… Hmm, it’s a suitable location for the capital. I didn’t expect you to be involved in this!”
Nero meant the location of the capital.
“No, I don’t have that ability at all. I can’t even read a map.”
Lin Qi refused to be praised.

Chapter 21 Magic Fragmentation Grenade
“Whoosh…”
The sound of the wind echoed in Lin Qi’s ears, and the surroundings were blue.
Just look down a little and you can easily see everything tiny below.
The buildings and the soldiers in red uniforms were all about the size of ants.
At this moment, Lin Qi was riding on a two-legged flying dragon, observing the enemy’s troop deployment in the sky.
Fortunately, Lin Qi is not afraid of heights, otherwise this height alone would be enough to kill him.
After the strategic meeting, Nero decided on the future battle strategy, which was:
Defeat all enemies that block your way head-on!
According to Nero, “Only in this way can I demonstrate my heroic spirit and prove that I am the legitimate emperor of Rome.”
With multiple servants helping out, this could be considered a good strategy.
Anyway, if any problems arise later, you can just improvise.
If the servants can’t solve it… then I guess no matter what strategy is used, it won’t be able to be solved.
The allied soldiers spotted Lin Qi flying in the sky and without thinking, they took out their bows and arrows and shot at him.
The arrow shot straight up into the sky—then drew an arc in the air and fell down.
It wasn’t even half the height of Lin Qi.
“Idiot! How can a common soldier like you reach such a high place?”
Caesar, the leader of the coalition forces and also a former outstanding emperor of Rome, punched the stupid soldier on the head, looking very disappointed in him.
And didn’t you see that the falling arrows hurt friendly forces?
“Yes…I was so excited that I didn’t notice…”
The soldier looked ashamed.
“You…oh, forget it.”
Caesar rubbed his temple and was too lazy to say anything to these idiots under his command.
Maybe it’s because of that adult’s existence?
It was as if these soldiers had left their brains at home.
As one of the Roman emperors, Caesar’s attire was also a mix of gold and red.
Unlike official history, the Caesar who appeared in the coalition camp was a fat man with a big belly.
“Really… that adult’s delusions should be stopped, right?”
“A perfect commander and perfect rule will only create a group without self-awareness.”
Caesar muttered to himself helplessly.
Just like the soldier in front of him, he basically gave up thinking.
Completely immersed in the majesty of Romulus, the ancestor of gods.
In comparison, the soldiers on the opposite side are much better!
Caesar recalled the performance of the enemy soldiers in the previous battle and nodded repeatedly.
“Next, let me take a good look at what a beautiful being this generation’s emperor is!”
Caesar looked into the distance, waiting for Nero to rush over to him.
In fact, thanks to the terrifying charm of the God-Ancestor on Rome, the Roman coalition army has now embarked on a twisted path.
Every citizen is a soldier, and all the people join the war without any prior agreement. Almost everyone is doing their part…
This does sound good, but what if the God can no longer protect them?
Caesar was eager to see Nero perform differently and brilliantly.
But he didn’t want Nero to come so easily, so he sent several teams of soldiers to bypass the Mediterranean.
By the way, they also let Caligula take it with them.
Caesar just wanted to see whether the exhausted Nero could still shine when he appeared in front of him after such a high-intensity battle.
If possible, how dazzling the light would be.
–the other side–
After taking a round of inspection, Lin Qi, who had memorized the alliance’s combat deployment in his mind, was flying back on a pterosaur.
