"What do you think that could be?"

"Magic." Ian quickly gave his answer, "A kind of magic whose principle we still don't understand."

"It created a barrier there, causing the bone monsters that should have fallen to revive in the current way and become the driving force for advancing the battle line."

"This is why our army cannot win - because the enemy is infinite and cannot be completely eliminated in the usual way."

"..."

As a pioneer in the systematization of Roman magic learning, Ian's words are naturally trustworthy.

Combining the results of the previous discussion between the two, the young emperor soon came to a new conclusion.

"teacher."

"If so, didn't Yu's mother arrange this?"

"It's very likely." Ian nodded, "Or... this should be the truth."

After all, in the whole of Rome, apart from the army of magicians she trained for Nero, the only one who mastered magic was that cruel and vicious woman.

"But is there something wrong with this?" Nero quickly thought of a new question.

"Since Yu's mother has such powerful magic, why didn't she release it during the previous conflict?"

"That's the crux of the matter, Nero," the man replied, having sorted out his thoughts.

"What happened to her after she met Brittany Cuss is something we still don't understand."

"..."

Nero frowned slightly.

Obviously, as the emperor of Rome, she did not like the feeling of being restricted by others - after all, the whole of Rome was her property, and a traitor like this should not survive even for a second.

Ian saw what Nero was thinking, reached out and touched her head, gently comforting her.

"Nero, don't worry."

"With me here, I'll definitely be able to figure out what it is."

"..."

The girl hugged the man, buried her head in his chest, and nodded gently.

"Yes, I understand."

【You didn't just appease Nero verbally.】

[You must never allow her path to becoming emperor to be blocked by others.]

[As long as Nero is still alive, she can only be the emperor of Rome. ]

[Of course, you haven't forgotten the tyrant future Leif mentioned - you always remind Nero not to get angry with his soldiers because of a temporary obstacle.]

[You asked for a war horse from the soldier.]

【You took the bow and arrows and warned the soldiers not to tell Nero about these things.】

[You headed alone to the vicinity of the darkness that was eroding the surrounding land.]

[You observed as safely as possible.]

[You have discovered some information that was previously missed in the hasty withdrawal.]

In the military camp, Ian, who had just returned from an expedition, was analyzing the intelligence he had obtained.

The first thing that can be confirmed is that this mass of darkness is indeed expanding outward with the city of Ubiorum as its center, and the lands affected will become areas where the dead are resurrected.

Obviously, it is impossible to defeat them by conventional means (including but not limited to fighting).

After all, the enemy's numbers are endless, while the Roman soldiers will only become fewer and fewer.

And because of the existence of this transformation mechanism, they will even become a vital force that promotes the expansion of darkness.

but--

This transformation did not happen overnight.

Using the bow and arrow in his hand, Ian has successfully shot and killed several skeletons, and then witnessed the entire process of their resurrection to prove this.

There seems to be a time difference between the resurrected individuals, but it is not that long.

Will this... be the key to defeating it?

But how to take advantage of this?

Ian thought hard but couldn't figure it out - he realized that there was no way he could take advantage of this.

At this moment, the curtain was suddenly pulled open.

Then, Nero appeared there.

However, unlike her usual cute and well-behaved appearance when she came in front of Ian, her expression at this moment seemed very unhappy and her actions became much more aggressive.

tap--

tap--

The young emperor, who had led the army in person, came to her teacher and pushed him onto the makeshift bed.

At this moment, those green eyes were burning red like flames.

"Teacher, you're going too far!"

"Why did you go to such a dangerous place secretly without telling me?"

"..."

【You realize that the soldiers did not keep their promise to you.】

[But you don't blame them - after all, Nero is the emperor, and if she wants to know something, these soldiers would not dare to hide it from her.]

You decide to apologize properly.

"I'm sorry, Nero."

Ian, who was pinned down by the girl, apologized very sincerely.

"It was the teacher's fault - he shouldn't have let you go out secretly."

"..."

Hearing the apology from his beloved, Nero's grip loosened a little.

Then she collapsed onto his chest and began to cry softly.

"Teacher, are you stupid?"

"If something happens to you, how can I save you?! Have you ever thought about this question?"

"..."

It was fortunate that Nero did not show weakness, but when Ian heard her voice that became sad because she cared about him, he was immediately at a loss.

"I was wrong, Nero."

"The teacher will not do this again next time."

"Really?" The girl asked tentatively.

"real."

"So what should we do this time? Should we compensate Yu?"

"..."

Ian suddenly felt that something was wrong.

He lowered his head and saw Nero licking his lips with a malicious look on his face. He no longer looked sad because of worrying about his lover.

"Teacher, stop talking."

"That means you agree that Yu should be compensated, right?"

"Nero." Ian's throat moved slightly, "This is a military camp... Are you sure you want to do this?"

"So what in the military camp?" The girl's hand touched the man's waist.

"The whole of Rome is a place where Yu and Teacher have fun, isn't it?"

"The military camp is no exception."

"..."

[Having said this, you can no longer refuse Nero. ]

[You two once again tasted each other in the military camp.]

[But it must be said that this is indeed a very effective way to relieve stress - for both parties. ]

"call--"

Ian let out a long sigh of relief.

Although Nero didn't utter a word due to the environment, the man still felt the pleasure from her gradually changing expression.

She...has become more and more aware of how to drain herself.

"Hmm~" Nero, with his hair tied up and becoming messy due to the fun, looked happy.

"It seems that the teacher is not that serious. He just said that we can't do this in the military camp, but he is still as lively as usual."

“It’s just like a lion.”

"I can't help it." Ian shrugged. "It's because I really like Nero's body - once I touch it, I can't resist it at all."

"..."

"Hmm?!" Nero's face turned slightly red, "Teacher, are you telling the truth?"

"Has Yu... become the reason for you to be so brave?"

"Always, Nero," Ian replied. "Have I ever not worked hard?"

"Hmm, that seems to be the case~"

Looking at the girl's happy face because she had successfully squeezed her sweetheart, Ian's expression gradually became heavy.

"Nero, I thought you were really angry just now."

"Of course I'm angry!" Nero tied up his hair. "When I learned this information, I wanted to draw my sword and kill the person who let you go."

"but--"

"but?"

"But I remembered that my teacher had told me not to vent my anger on the soldiers."

Nero said this, then lay on Ian's chest and listened to his heartbeat.

"I just held back - and I believed that the teacher must have taken action after careful consideration, so I stopped worrying."

"Nero..."

This was a unique trust, and Ian knew that only he could get this kind of recognition from Nero.

"Well, the teacher is indeed not reckless - this time, the teacher has obtained a lot of information."

"Tell Yu quickly!"

[You told Nero the information you obtained from the Dark Frontier at the risk of your life.]

[You expect her to be smart and maybe come up with some ideas. ]

【But all this seems not to have been realized. 】

"This……"

Nero was a little confused when he learned this information from Ian.

"Doesn't that mean Yu's army has absolutely no chance of winning?"

"Yes." Ian did not want to give Nero false encouragement. "For now, we should even avoid contact between the army and these things as much as possible. After all, if they betray you because of the magic barrier, it will not be worth it."

"Yeah, that makes sense." Nero nodded, "I will give further orders later."
