Chapter 35
Nero's Compensation and Preference

Damn it! It's lit!

The speech just now was half-true and half-false, half to commemorate the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for my plan.

On the other hand, it was also to maximize the effect of this performance.

Ning Cuo has always been clear about his plan.

Although his subordinates almost blindly believe in him and are loyal to him.

But planning their deaths with his own hands still touched Ning Cuo deeply.

But what's done is done. To regret it now is not only disrespectful to their lives, but also an insult to himself.

But with these actions.

Even if John XII came now to deprive him of his title.

Nero would definitely immediately give him a much richer reward.

No one would doubt Ning Cuo's loyalty to Rome now.

Even if the truth came out.

These senators would only think that Ning Cuo is a great loyalist who is incredibly loyal and fanatical to the Roman Emperor!

They just might not understand.

How could a lord be willing to go to such lengths for the emperor?

With such elite and loyal soldiers under his command, who are even willing to sacrifice their lives, where can't he thrive?

St. Peter had the same doubts in his heart.

He was even a little worried.

Could it be that the prophecy was wrong?

Ning Cuo should be the one to overthrow Rome, unify the world, and then establish his own papacy.

Could it be that I made a premature prophecy and changed something?

Didn't he become a top-ranking loyalist of Rome?

The Eastern Orthodox Church has invested so much. They didn't expect their investment target to become a great saint by the emperor's side!

There was no sadness for the current situation.

The next to arrive on the battlefield was the Roman emperor, the pinnacle of martial power, Empress Nero!

To deceive others.

The two did not communicate in any way.

But they showed Ning Cuo what ultimate martial power is.

"You dare to disregard me! Have I been too long without making a move, that you have become so reckless?"

As if to echo Nero's words.

The overwhelming aura shattered everything around it.

The debris from these things, like trapped dust, rolled continuously in this area.

The thick clouds in the sky were also shattered, and the constantly flashing constellations seemed to be condensed into one by the powerful aura.

Nero slowly extended her hand.

The golden-red waves, mixed with the sound of the ground cracking, burst from the ground of her meteorite-forged sword, floating in mid-air.

Roaring everywhere, everything around trembled.

Nero drew her sword.

"Die!"

She lightly passed her judgment.

Only on the black sky, streaks of shining sword light flashed.

In an instant.

Nero's figure seemed unclear and difficult to distinguish in the dust.

Or it seemed to envelop the entire city of Rome, everything around was the projection of her martial power.

Drawing the sword.

Ning Cuo couldn't even see her movements.

Whether the meteorite-forged sword was drawn or not, no one knew.

And all the creatures in Rome who dared to resist were now all cut in half by the flash of the sword.

Then it started to extend continuously, even the city of Rome was split in half, the once spacious streets now forming a large crack.

The bodies of some senators and nobles were split in half, their bright red blood slowly flowing down the neat dividing line.

Forming a pool of flesh.

"The Judgment Knights of the Church, this is my gratitude to you this time, for your losses, I will repay you."

Nero turned her head slightly, looking at Ning Cuo, the leader, and made her promise.

Ning Cuo didn't bother with any nonsense, glanced at the current streets of Rome.

Nero didn't know if she wanted to show off her power or was really angry.

Anyway, the current streets were like a scar across the city of Rome.

They were even compressed by its powerful force into a viscous substance like magma.

But he twitched his lips.

He finally understood why Nero was able to make all the forces sit at the table.

Even the Pope, who controls the power of public opinion, only dares to call her a tyrant in secret.

And dare not call her a heretic and launch a crusade.

......

Early the next morning, the entire city of Rome was shaken.

Even the battlefield, where the fighting on the front lines had finally subsided, was unusually calm.

Even the Germans and barbarians dared not attack the border of Rome today.

But even when they counted all their subordinates.

They couldn't find that powerful subordinate who was so powerful that he almost subverted the entire senate.

They could only assume that he was a newly emerging minor noble under their command.

He wanted to gain greater rewards after the matter was completed.

However, it was a pity that he messed up.

He was beaten to smithereens by the Roman emperor on the spot.

However, in the Roman imperial palace now.

All the nobles or lords who rushed over were trembling with fear.

You look at me, I look at you.

Although they knew what happened, they never thought it would be so stimulating.

"Lord Ning Cuo."

Nero closed her eyes, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking.

Ning Cuo, who was called out by name, reacted and walked out.

"Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

"Now you take your men and confiscate all the property of those senators in the city of Rome last night."

Hiss! Are you going to play it so big?

That's all the property of the entire senate in the city of Rome.

The nobles who were originally watching the show just felt their breathing become heavy when they thought about the number.

Unfortunately, no one dared to speak up at this time.

Otherwise, Nero wouldn't mind killing another person.

Although they didn't understand why it was Ning Cuo who was sent, no one was foolish enough to stand up and ask about it.

Only Nero and Ning Cuo knew.

This is the reward she promised last night.

Giving Ning Cuo all the property of the entire senate in the city of Rome.

As a reward for completing the plan last night.

Of course, Nero originally only planned to give Ning Cuo the property of one or two noble families.

But she didn't expect Ning Cuo to act so well.

He acted so well that everyone believed him.

People's hearts are made of flesh, and Nero, seeing everything, also understood how much Ning Cuo had lost.

A thousand-man elite legion had suffered more than half casualties.

Although she deliberately raised a large amount of dust to allow John to escape and, to deceive others, chopped up a large number of corpses.

To make it impossible to verify.

She fulfilled her promise.

But Nero still wanted to compensate Ning Cuo.

"I understand, Your Majesty, I will go and do it now."

Acting means acting all the way.

Not only material benefits should be taken, but also spiritual things cannot be missed.

Just as Ning Cuo took the order and walked a few steps, he seemed to think of something.

He turned back again in the puzzled looks of everyone.

The reason is simple, at this time, of course, you need to further refresh your favorability rating.

Nero is definitely one of the most sentimental times now.

In this situation, you have to know how to show weakness, to let the emperor know how much you have sacrificed.

He scratched his head with some guilt, and then Ning Cuo said.

"That, Your Majesty, I came in a hurry, can you lend me some soldiers?"

With such a big pie falling on his head, he actually asked the emperor for soldiers.

Doesn't he know that Nero is still angry about last night's incident?

Suddenly, all the nobles were smiling mischievously, ready to watch a good show.

However, Nero, upon hearing this, felt a bit more guilty in her heart.

I'm so stupid!

Lord Ning Cuo's soldiers have experienced war and lost so many.

It's easy for others to see the flaws if you bring them out now.

Wouldn't I be doing more harm than good then?

Although her face remained expressionless.

But the words that came out of her mouth made all the nobles who were ready to watch a good show suddenly widen their eyes.

As if their worldviews had been refreshed.

"Then I will give you a thousand-man cavalry, will that be enough?"

No, my dear Majesty.

Ning Cuo is just going to confiscate some property and exterminate some families.

Could it be that those families who have lost their pillars of support and backbone will dare to resist?

It's clearly for him to go and get benefits.

Why did you equip him with a thousand-man cavalry?

This is enough to go out and fight a war.

Empress Nero, your partiality is too obvious!
