"It's probably the same... but it looks a little different."
"what do you mean?"
"That's it..." Locusta frowned slightly and honestly reported his inner feelings, "It feels like there's something more than when I came here?"
"..."
Ian was just about to ask a few more questions about this, but things took a turn that no one had expected.
In the darkness in the distance, a man raised a sharp sword, followed by a cruel word:
"Kill them for me!"
The next moment, countless phantom soldiers appeared on this devastated land.
They were equipped with almost the same equipment as the Roman army and began to shout loudly.
“Aaaaaaa——! For Rome!!!”
For a moment, there was a roaring storm, and these soldiers rushed towards Ian and his group like a tide, as if they were going to wipe them out on the spot.
"..."
Boudica's rich combat experience allowed her to react instinctively, allowing her to detect the approaching enemy earlier than Ian.
She raised her sword and shouted:
"Warriors of Britannia, follow me and meet the enemy bravely!"
“Aaaaaa——!”
Another shout from Britannia echoed across the battlefield.
This was a sudden encounter!
"..."
"..."
"..."
Jing Ke, Tamamonomae, and Mashu looked at each other, and then started their own actions.
As an excellent assassin, Jing Ke constantly shuttled back and forth on the battlefield to kill the enemies. As she had already become a heroic spirit, she had no pressure in doing such things.
"It's more comfortable this way!"
Jing Ke, holding a dagger, said this, and then took a big gulp of wine.
Mashu, holding a heavy shield, did not have the speed of Jing Ke, so she adopted the most clumsy way - that is, charging with the shield.
She hoped that she could protect as many warriors as possible who were willing to follow Boudica into battle.
"Everyone! Please follow me and charge forward!"
However, Tamamonomae, whose combat capability was poor, adopted another method to assist on the front battlefield.
She threw her mirror into the sky and shouted, "Ring, water, sky, sunlight, Tensho, Yama, Zhenshi!"
In an instant, this mirror containing the power of Amaterasu began to shine in the sky of the singularity, animating the souls of the Britannian soldiers, giving them a more courageous will than usual.
At the same time, this clever fox demon was secretly investigating the Roman soldiers who suddenly appeared.
Her intuition told her that there was no way so many enemies could be hiding nearby - it was very likely that these opponents had somehow appeared out of nowhere.
And this is indeed the case.
With the help of Suiten Nikko Amaterasu Yanoshiki, Tamamonomae got a surprising answer.
"This is an army made of magic power——How could this be?"
Tamamonomae's conclusion was not conveyed to Ian in time.
but--
Looking at the large and increasing number of enemies in front of him, Ian also realized that something was wrong.
He realized the reason was surprisingly simple: the attack method used by these soldiers was not like the troops he and Nero had trained during that period.
They were more like earlier Roman soldiers, using the same backward charging tactics.
Thinking of the black shadow before, Ian became a little worried - could this be a similar situation to that time?
"Boudica, I want to go down and take a look!"
"I feel like something is not right!"
There was no time to ask for reasons, and there was no need to ask for reasons. Boudica simply cooperated with the man.
Because she knew that she had to believe from the bottom of her heart, just like Tamamonomae and Mashu, that he could solve the problem.
"I see."
Boudica made the chariot do a tailspin, and Ian took advantage of this to jump out. In the process, he also projected his weapon - the meteorite bellows "Primal Fire (Aestus estus)".
This is a weapon made by Nero himself, and is temporarily "borrowed" by Ian.
"Don't try to stop me from going to Nero!"
The man roared like this, and then started fighting. He looked extremely brave.
The flame burned on the projected scabbard, and even the air became a little hotter.
Ian rushed towards the direction where the soldiers were pouring out. At this moment, he knew that he had to get to the bottom of things!
only--
When he really charged into the depths of the enemy alone, the figure standing there made him feel suffocated like never before.
That was Claudius, Agrippina's third husband, and next to him was Leif in a tall hat.
The two of them just stood there, looking like they had been friends for years.
Seeing Ian coming, Claudius raised the sword in his hand and pointed it at the man.
"Seneca... No, should I call you Ian Pendragon now?"
"Welcome back to the Roman Empire without Nero!"
436. The truth of the singularity, the fate of the girl bound by the Holy Grail (4k)
"..."
Claudius' words made Ian alert for a moment.
"what do you mean?"
Ian pointed the projected weapon in his hand, the meteorite bellows "Original Fire (Aestus estus)", at Claudius.
"That's your daughter!"
"Daughter?" Claudius was stunned at first, and then burst into laughter. His arrogant attitude made him look like a madman.
"I never admitted from the beginning to the end that Nero is my daughter, right?"
"I have my own children, why should I acknowledge a daughter whose blood relationship with me is so thin?"
"..."
Although he had long known that Claudius did not take Nero seriously, when he really heard him say such words, Ian still felt a chill in his heart.
We have to figure it out.
"so--"
"What exactly did you do to her?"
"What did you do?" Claudius's face showed a hint of cruelty.
"It's simple-"
"Since she loves Rome so much, it is only natural for her to sacrifice herself for Rome, right?"
"Sacrifice yourself for Rome?"
"That's right." Claudius pointed the sword in his hand towards the sky, looking very proud.
"Rome is the greatest empire in the world."
"If it is so great then——"
"Should it continue until the end of time? Everything in the world should be watched by Rome until it disappears from this land."
"Compared to this, sacrificing an emperor is nothing!"
“Hahaha!” Claudius laughed again. “If Nero knew that he could play such a role, he would definitely be very happy!”
"..."
Claudius' words at this moment were enough to reveal part of the truth.
Nero seemed to have become the "price" of some kind of ritual, in exchange for the current appearance of Rome.
The land was burned with fire until nothing was left of its former self;
The ancient soldiers awakened again, but they stabbed the Britannians who had become their companions;
All of this was gained by sacrificing Nero. It is so absurd and yet true.
"No! Nero will not be happy about this!" Ian roared in a rare anger, "Claudius, give her back to me immediately!"
"Back to you?"
Claudius sneered and drew his sword directly at Ian.
"Before you say something like that, I hope you'd better consider whether you have the ability to get others to agree to it!"
Having said this, Claudius charged directly towards Ian, intending to kill him right here.
Leif witnessed all this but did not take any additional action.
There was only observation of Ian in his eyes.
With a ding sound!
Claudius' sword collided with the Aestus estus in Ian's hand, producing a large area of sparks that could be seen clearly even at noon.
This confrontation also made Ian realize that something was wrong.
This was definitely not the power that Claudius should have. At this moment, he was at least ten times stronger.
The man quickly guessed the reason behind this, which was Rafe.
Just like Agrippina the Faceless before him, only he could do such a thing.
"What do you think, Seneca?" Claudius still looked extremely arrogant.
"This is the power I possess as the Roman Emperor!"
"..."
"Waste." Ian replied coldly.
"What did you say?!" Claudius was obviously touched by this sentence, "How dare you say I'm a waste?"
"Of course I dare."
Ian looked at Claudius, who was in a stalemate with himself holding the Aestus estus, with his eyes full of disdain for him.
"You are only able to tie with me now by relying on the power of others."
"If it's just you, you're probably vulnerable."
"You dare say that again!" Claudius held the sword and began to chop fiercely at the Aestus estus.
Loud bang after loud bang echoed deep in the battlefield, sounding extremely harsh.
"I am the Emperor of Rome! The Emperor of Rome!!!"
"I have never seen an emperor who neglected state affairs so much during his reign."
Ian recalled every detail of the past, and while perfectly defending against Claudius' attack, he criticized his actions.
"Do you...know what a big mess you left for Nero?"
"You don't know how much preparation she has to make before her speech every day in order to deal with the Senate that you have set free."
