Animusfia and Nero, who gathered the remaining soldiers and began to move towards the north, rode quietly to the center of the military formation.
Although they won the final victory, Animusfia and the legions under Nero also suffered a devastating blow when fighting Iscandar.
After all, Animusfia and Nero have to deal with the conquering king Iskandar who brought the iron cavalry and Greek culture to the far east, and Zhuge Kongming, who has repeatedly visited the world and planned two dynasties to help the old ministers.
Since the Servants she had encountered before were all beings somewhat related to Rome, Animusfia did not think deeply about how to deal with Servants from other civilizations.
However, the fact that his "Zhou Yu" can appear in the singularity can already explain a lot of things.
Animusfiya has also learned about the information about Kong Ming a long time ago.
In the end, it was Animusfiya's negligence that allowed him to be caught off guard like this.
I don’t know if it’s the influence of Animusfia’s appearance, but there have been too many changes in the singularity now.
The measly little information he had originally received about the human body's incineration was now hard to distinguish between true and false.
The first singularity known to Animusfia did not contain such a terrifying enemy as "Krasin", one of the incarnations of Cthulhu.
The situation has changed to a point where Fujimaru Ritsuka and her followers alone cannot calm down the situation.
If Animusfia had not taken the initiative to detonate the Spear of Ouranos and destroy the body of Krasin transformed by Fafnir, I am afraid that the human body would have ended prematurely in France during the Hundred Years War without being burned.
Even a brief incarnation of Cthulhu would be enough to end the future of humanity in a short period of time.
Even if the remaining humans can survive by then, they will inevitably be assimilated by the Deep Ones and eventually become believers of ancient alien gods with no future.
That was an ending that frightened Animusfia just thinking about it.
Therefore, Animusfia did not dare to use the few details and information he learned from the teacher and Chengzi to speculate on how the restoration of human psychology would develop after his arrival.
The "Rome" in this singularity is far more powerful than the servants summoned by the restraint force.
So much so that the servants summoned by the restraint force are basically anti-royal and anti-Roman beings.
Spartacus, Boudica, Jing Ke, Lu Bu.
The restraint force had already considered in advance that Goetia's side would use Rome, the prototype of an unconscious body that could only defend instinctively, so it sent out many heroic spirits with rebellious rumors.
Therefore, Animusfia almost concluded that even the Seventy-Two Demon Gods would not summon servants outside Rome that would cause a violent counterattack by the unconscious body to deal with Rome.
That is almost certain to fail.
The combination of Iskandar and Zhuge Kongming proves this.
Even if those two people caused great difficulties for Animusfia and Nero, they were eventually killed by Nero, whose "Emperor's Privilege Value" exploded.
To use a joke he hasn’t played in a long time, it’s——————
Nero alone represents Italian football, no, the long history and tradition of Rome. At this moment she is not fighting alone, she is not alone!
Even Alexander, who campaigned eastward to Central Asia, ultimately failed to defeat his homesick men.
Zhuge Liang, who was able to quarrel with the Confucian scholars, failed to return Ji Han to the old capital and conquer the Central Plains.
Few can stand firm under the onslaught of inhibitory forces.
In Eastern terms, it is the "Mandate of Heaven".
The destiny of Rome could now be attributed to Nero.
Although they succeeded in defeating the enemy in the end, Animusfia couldn't help but feel frustrated after missing out on a plan.
Is the other party betting that Nero will not be able to fully utilize the "emperor's privilege" added to her?
Or is he too confident in the combination of Iskandar and Kong Ming?
Animusfia is unknown.
However, although this plan failed, Animusfia was full of confidence in her other plan.
"Governor, is it really okay for Yu and you to just go north like this? Didn't you originally say that this enemy still exists on the eastern front?"
"Be at ease, Your Majesty."
Animusfia stopped her thoughts and spoke to Nero beside her.
"According to the confessions of the gathered enemy soldiers, Iskandar Alexander took the initiative to capture the provinces of Dacia and Pannonia, and the governors of the two provinces did so without resistance. So he surrendered to Alexander."
"That actually counts?!"
Nero said angrily:
"If I catch them, all these cowards without honor must be fed to the lions in the Colosseum!"
"Aren't you letting all the dogs share the food?"
Animusfia said with some surprise.
"Ah! That's right, let the hounds hunt down the prisoners... Hmm, that's a good idea. You, the Governor, are quite smart."
Nero looked enlightened and patted Animusfia on the shoulder while praising her.
"No...just pretend I didn't say anything, Your Majesty."
Animusfia sighed.
Did Nero's evil deeds have anything to do with him?
That's really a sin.
"Anyway, Your Majesty, this at least proves that the enemy did not have enough power to capture the eastern provinces of Dacia and Pannonia before the war began, and even after the capture, there was no major attack on these two provinces. With the destruction, there should no longer be the enemy’s main force on the Eastern Front.”
"oh----"
Nero's eyes seemed to light up after listening to Animusfia's words.
"That's true when you hear it."
"In this way, we only need to nominally reunite the two provinces, and then absolve them of their guilt, and the eastern defense line can be reorganized————We have suffered very heavy losses for such a long time. It was tragic, but it also effectively weakened the combat power of the servants of the [United Empire]. It is unlikely that the other side will have the energy to attack the defenses on the eastern front. In that case, ordinary soldiers can also effectively defend. .”
But thinking that he was not the real Zhou Lang, Animusfia decided to be more conservative.
"Even if the opponent really still has enough energy to attack the eastern front, we, who are joining Ritsuka and the others in the north, will have enough room to come back and provide reinforcements."
"Hmm, I trust you, Governor."
Nero nodded and then asked Animusfia:
"But how do you know, Governor-General, that the enemy's fighting strength is low?"
"This is also simple. The enemy knew that they would be defended by "Rome", but they still summoned servants like Alexander who did not belong to Rome, right? This is enough to prove that the [United Empire] has fallen into a battle situation. It’s stretched thin.”
I am afraid that I will encounter more servants who do not belong to Rome in the future, and Animusfia can only always evaluate everything including the information she has obtained according to the worst-case scenario.
"Originally, my speculation was limited to Mikhail VIII who might appear here————"
"Wait, Governor."
Nero interrupted Animusfia.
"Who is that guy?"
"Ah...I haven't told you, Your Majesty."
Animusfia organized her words, and then said to Nero:
"At the beginning, we organized the senators who deposed you and assassinated me. Do you still remember? At that time, I told you that you had been caught in a huge web of conspiracy. That was not a lie, but a huge web that definitely existed. net."
"But didn't you say at that time that you didn't know the truth?"
Animusfia smiled twice, and then said to Nero:
"That's just to avoid being heard. Although the real culprit of the conspiracy is indeed well hidden, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to find out the truth if it were any other enemy - but, here is your Let’s go to Rome.”
In all of Rome, even counting the emperors of the Eastern Roman-Byzantine Empire, there were not many who could leave their names.
Not to mention the emperor who is good at conspiracy and manipulation.
After seeing the purple thread, Animusfiya had the prototype of the answer in her heart.
"Mikhail VIII, known as the [Eight-Clawed Spider] because of his long sleeves and good dancing skills, Basilius of the Eastern Roman Empire, can barely be regarded as your Majesty's descendant thousands of years later."
"Hmm, he feels a bit sinister... No, just hearing the nickname makes me feel a little disgusted. Can such a person really be regarded as Yu's descendant?"
"Well, there are only a few emperors like him, so I can recognize him instantly. Since that person is not here but the combination of Iskandar and Kong Ming, then he must be on the Rhine River where Ritsuka and the others are. . If we rush there now, we might be able to flank the enemy."
Nero looked at Animusfia's confident expression and leaned on his shoulder.
"Anyway, you have already anticipated this, right? You are such a capable minister."
"Thank you Your Majesty, but for a military advisor, something like Plan B should be available at any time, right?"
