Chapter 249 Shuoyue: Listen to My Explanation

The singing outside gradually stopped, and Nero must have been wondering why the people listening to her singing were so happy that they fainted. Taking this opportunity, Shuo Yue's confidants also sneaked into their respective camps, lest this beautiful emperor Make them your audience too.

But Rosario did not leave, he stayed, looking sad.

"Governor..."

"I understand what you want to say." The white-haired young man waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to say anything. "If it were me, I would definitely follow the traces of the fleeers and chase them all the way."

"At that time, it will be our turn to fight the man in red robe."

"That's right." Rosario nodded in agreement, "And with an enemy like that, we can really..."

"Have confidence in me, Lieutenant General." Shuo Yue turned her eyes, her blood-colored pupils showing no panic at all about the approaching enemy, "I just need a hard whetstone to train my troops, and by the way... clean up some of the things the emperor has committed. tiny error."

tiny error?

Rosario intuitively felt some kind of undercurrent. He closed his mouth tightly and left silently.

Behind him, Shuo Yue sat back on the chair, crossed his hands and rested them on his chin.

As he expected, the worst happened.

Even though Gorin Varus was hostile to him, being able to become a commander-in-chief proved his ability. After all, a commander-in-chief must be personally recognized by Nero in order to become a commander-in-chief.

It's no wonder he was killed so soon after the war started.

Who told him that the enemy he encountered was a dead thing, a carrier of heroic souls that could easily defeat any existence in this era - a servant?

The bright red cloak and ferocious fighting stance were enough for Shuo Yue to deduce the identity of this rider.

"Caligula... It seems that the Chaldeans are indeed coming soon..."

The third emperor of the ancient Roman Empire with a legend of cruelty, a figure in the first century AD, and the uncle of Emperor Nero.

Not many people remember that as the son of a hero, Caligula was a wise monarch in the first two years of his reign. He burned the high-secret documents of Tiberius's time, showed great respect for the Senate, and even planned to restore the Citizens' Assembly. , is a wise king loved by people,

However, suddenly favored by the moon, or after a serious illness - Caligula fell into the abyss of madness.

In the years before his assassination, he ruled the Empire with fear.

In the official history, he once said to his grandmother little Antonia, "I can treat anyone the way I want to be treated." Therefore, he committed countless cruel crimes, killed Tiberius's son, and ordered to be beheaded. The heads of all the statues in the temple were replaced with his own. In order to attack the Germanic areas on a whim, he collected taxes from various places... and was eventually assassinated by the captain of the Guards, Caria.

Of course, in the history of the moon, he is just a poor man whose mind was taken away by the goddess of moonlight.

Now, Shuo Yue's reason for not attacking Stronghold No. 1 is extremely obvious.

Why not attack the enemy's most important coastline hub?

Why are there only more than 500 people guarding this obviously important military area?

That's because of Caligula!

There are servants who can ride as many as a thousand and have unparalleled combat power. It is simply impossible for soldiers of this era to break through that pass.

Only followers can defeat followers.

In other words, among the legions on the expedition to Pisa, only Shuo Yue could kill Caligula.

But Shuo Yue had lost all his power, and was replaced by the powerful spiritual base of that famous general.

The "power" of this spiritual base is based on the army and slaughter.

If an army that has not experienced the tempering of blood and fire rashly confronts Caligula, even if it can win, it will be a miserable victory.

But now, if Caligula breaks in rashly, he will be easily killed by Shuo Yue.

Unfortunately, Caligula, a Servant, happened to be here with the job of "Berserker".

"As for the Berserker, he's never very good at using his brain..."

After a noisy afternoon, the camp that had experienced the war was finally repaired. Under Shuo Yue's order, the soldiers simply stayed here and waited to return to the camp tomorrow morning.

The aroma of food once again filled the camp, and the soldiers gathered together in twos and threes, accepting the food given by the quartermaster and enjoying a rare rest after a tiring day.

But a careful person can see that although the soldiers are sitting in a disorderly manner, they are still unconsciously divided into three distinct camps - one is the soldiers under Shuo Yue's command, the other is the prisoners of war who actively requested to surrender, and the other is The third are prisoners of war who accepted Emperor Nero's forgiveness and were called "loyal and brave men".

Obviously, although they are both "rationally" commanded by Shuo Yue, they are still unable to accept each other "emotionally".

Did Shuo Yue, who was in the position of commander-in-chief, realize this potential contradiction?

No one knows what happened to the white-haired young man after Nero gave his speech. They only know that the commander-in-chief has been staying in the camp since the afternoon and has never stepped out except to summon the officers.

As for Emperor Nero Claudius, who has not left yet...

At this time, a girl with blond hair and blue eyes, but wearing a dress as bright as flames, was pacing back and forth in front of Shuo Yue's closed tent.

Although he knew Nero was lying, Shuo Yue didn't want to, nor was he interested in asking her why she came.

Besides, His Majesty the Emperor is a person who can't hide things. Even if Shuoyue does nothing, she will not be able to help but reveal her thoughts, right?

And just as Shuoyue thought, at this moment, Nero couldn't help but think of the dream she had this morning.

The past of a young man from a distant foreign country.

Is that the identity of the white-haired young man? It turns out that the governor came here from the mysterious East, thousands of miles away?

Did he... come here to save me?

But how did the governor know me?

What's the matter with the red mark on the back of my hand?

Nero raised the back of her hand. Although there was only one left of the three command seals, the other two that were consumed at some point still had some traces.

Although she didn't know what this thing was, she could still intuitively feel the importance of this thing.

Including that dream that was too heavy and too profound...

There were too many things she wanted to ask. Nero hesitated for a moment, and finally made up her mind, stepped forward, and lifted the curtain.

"Governor, I have something to ask you..."

The voice stopped abruptly, because in front of her, the white-haired young man was looking shocked, with grease on his mouth that he had not wiped off in time.

Looking down, he was holding a chicken leg in his left hand, eating with grease dripping from his mouth, and using his right hand to fan the stove he built. The wood in the stove was burning quietly, making a 'crackling' sound.

In the iron pot, the tender young chicken lay in the complete seasoning, exuding a mouth-watering fragrance.

Shuoyue: "...Listen to my explanation."

Nero: "???"
