Romulus looked at the information about the Noble Phantasm in front of him. Although he didn't understand what the Noble Phantasm was, he knew that he had found a treasure.
Third month: You continue to practice shooting a hundred heads. You discover that with each punch you throw, a dazzling light gun can fly out from your hand. After nine punches, even the most solid rock will be pierced and shattered by you.
You excitedly approached Lin Ye and asked him to name your move. Lin Ye thought for a moment, then said to you...
"Let's call this move 'Shoot a Hundred Heads - Roman Style'."
"Rome? What is Rome?" you asked Lin Ye, puzzled.
Lin Ye thought for a moment, then pointed at him, then at Remus on the side, then at the sky and then at the ground, before smiling without saying a word.
"What do you mean?" Romulus was puzzled. Why was Lin Ye acting so mysteriously, just like those gods, spouting divine pronouncements?
He pondered Lin Ye's actions, and suddenly, as if struck by a sudden realization, Romulus's eyes lit up.
"I understand! Lin Ye means that everyone is Rome, the world is Rome, and everything in this world is Rome! As long as I believe it is Rome, then everything can be Rome!"
In an instant, Romulus, who had suddenly realized the truth, happily left the place, while Lin Ye, watching Romulus's back, scratched his head in confusion.
"What I mean is, Rome was created by you and Remus. You're asking me, so all I can tell you is, only God knows."
However, it seems pretty good now.
April: While Romulus and Remus were honing their martial arts skills, Lin Ye suddenly summoned them to his presence.
"Your strength is sufficient. Now, you can do what you want to do."
Hearing Lin Ye's words, Romulus and Remus exchanged a glance, then nodded and prepared to go down the mountain.
Romulus's strength is already equivalent to a top-tier Servant. Adding another Romulus, equivalent to an A-rank Servant, would be enough to overthrow a small country.
The official strength ratings for Servants in the Type-Moon universe have ranged from E to EX, but Lin Ye still prefers to use the terms from his previous life when evaluating them.
A-rank is equivalent to a top-tier Servant, B-rank is equivalent to a first-rate Servant, and EX-rank is called the exceptional rank or the highest rank of the exceptional rank, which is called the target rank.
Normally, a top-tier Servant in ancient times would be able to single-handedly destroy a city, while the Gilgamesh-level... in terms of expressiveness, the most classic example should be Iskandar's army of 100,000 Servants versus Gilgamesh, and the most expressive example should be Enkidu vs. Flat/Tia in Fate/strange.fake.
In that battle, Flattia flew directly into space and used his Noble Phantasm and abilities to condense cosmic debris into a giant catastrophic star, simultaneously attacking Enkidu. Enkidu, in turn, directly used his Noble Phantasm, Divine Child, to clash with it.
Enkidu shattered the planet into several pieces with a single shot. The smallest piece landed in a river, splashing water that caused a heavy rain in Washington. The second largest piece landed in the Arctic Ocean, directly destroying 12% of the glaciers. The largest piece was supposed to wipe Los Angeles off the planet, but it was fortunately eaten by a greedy bull passing by.
Therefore, for A's Servants, destroying a country is a piece of cake.
As for why Gilgamesh wielding Ea and King Saber wearing Avalon didn't break the floor tiles of Ryudou Temple when they clashed... Is it because Gilgamesh-class Servants have strong control abilities?
(P.S.: Fate/strange.fake has aired, you can check it out, but don't expect to see the ending. I've been following it for eight years, and it's only halfway through at most.)
Chapter 531 Rome Wasn't Built in a Day
Romulus watched this scene unfold before him and continued the simulation.
July: You and Remus went down the mountain. Your first decision was to find your grandfather Numitoré. However, you couldn't find any trace of Numitoré. Just then, you looked up at the sky and saw countless butterflies coming together to form an arrow. You followed the arrow and soon found Numitoré.
Lin Ye used the Insect Magic to create the butterfly. Although using the Mark Insect would have been more suitable, the butterfly clearly suited his temperament better.
August 3: You and Remus, under the banner of Numitore, begin to gather like-minded people.
August 28: You have gathered more than 8 warriors, with you as head coach and Remus as assistant coach, and you have officially launched an attack on Amulio.
September 4: Amulio learned of your attack and assembled an army of two thousand at Albalange.
Two thousand against five hundred should have been a one-sided battle. However, when you unleashed your Noble Phantasm, the Spear That Knows All Things, the two thousand soldiers were bound and entangled by countless vines before they could even get close. You returned victorious, and Amulio fled in disarray.
September 5: After Numitore appeared and persuaded you to surrender, you successfully incorporated two thousand prisoners into your army. At the same time, more and more soldiers joined you, and your army expanded to three thousand men.
"Three thousand...that's a large army."
To this day, Lin Ye still hasn't gotten used to the county-level "great war" in the West. Compared to the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period in China, Lin Ye is speechless.
I knew all along that Alba Lange was already the strongest of the thirty-nation alliance. I estimate that the combined military strength of all thirty nations doesn't even exceed 50,000.
September 15: Romulus led three thousand soldiers into the capital of Albalange. However, no matter how Romulus searched the palace, he could not find Amulio. Finally, he learned from the captured soldiers that Amulio had hidden in the Temple of Vesta!
"Despicable!" Romulus exclaimed angrily as he watched the scene unfold.
In the Age of Gods, no one dared to offend the majesty of the gods. If he dared to storm the Temple of Vesta today, tomorrow Vesta could wipe Alba Lange from the face of the earth!
Even if Vesta (Hestia) has a good personality, the majesty of the gods is inviolable.
"There must be a way!" Romulus continued reading.
Amulio stood there in the Temple of Vesta before Romulus.
“Romulus! You have won! But I have hidden all the wealth of this country in this temple! My daughter is a priestess of the temple, so I can enter, but you cannot! Now! I want you to swear to Mars that I will leave safely! Otherwise! You will never get these treasures! And you will never be able to kill me!”
Hearing Amulio's words, the hot-tempered Remus was about to rush in recklessly, but the quick-thinking Romulus immediately pulled him back.
"You are my brother! Even if it's divine punishment, I should bear it!"
Just as Romulus was about to move forward, suddenly, everyone saw two figures appear in the sky above the Temple of Vesta—it was the goddess Vesta and… Lin Ye!
Vesta looked at the scene below and frowned, saying, "Amulio, your actions have disturbed the peace of my temple. Now, you will no longer be under my protection."
"What!" Amulio's legs went weak, and he knelt down on the ground. Romulus, who had been waiting impatiently, naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity!
Amulio! Captured!
"Lin Ye... how did he do that?"
Romulus stared blankly at the scene. The clever man could guess that Vesta's personal arrival was at Lin Ye's invitation, but why? Why was this goddess so respectful to Lin Ye?
"I'll keep watching; there will definitely be an answer eventually."
September 16: Amulio is beheaded in front of everyone, and at the same time, his grandfather Numitore is restored to the throne.
Everyone cheered for Numitoré and for your name!
September 18th: Remus, now a prince, travels to the Temple of Vesta to propose to his beloved, the priestess Ilya.
The high priest said "No".
Lin Ye appeared and said, "I think it's okay."
The high priest nodded and said, "Then I think it's acceptable too."
Remus then successfully married his bride.
October 3rd: On your inspection tour, you overhear people discussing the succession to Alba Lange. Numitore only has two grandsons, you and your brother. Some believe you should inherit the throne alone, while others think the country should be divided equally between you and your brother. That same day, Numitore summons you before him. Faced with your grandfather's questions, you choose:
Option 1: I am the king's eldest grandson, and my contributions are greater. I should inherit the country.
Option 2: My brother and I are as close as gold; it's acceptable for the country to be divided in two.
Option 3: An older brother should act like an older brother. The country has already been given to the younger brother, I don't want it.
"This……"
Looking at the three options, Romulus was torn, but only for a moment before he made his decision.
"It's just a country. With my abilities, I can build a better country anywhere. This country will go to my younger brother. I choose number three!"
Hearing your choice, Amulio was stunned, but he still decided to respect your request, so he decided to announce that Remus would become the next king of Albalange.
That evening, as people cheered for the birth of the new king, you silently shouldered your baggage, preparing to leave. But just then, you saw Remus also emerge, carrying a baggage.
“Brother, we swore to Mother that we would be together forever. As for the throne, since Grandfather is still alive, let him continue to be king.”
“Remus…” Romulus watched this scene with excitement. Remus, you truly are my younger brother!
That's right! Since we have already sworn an oath to Father before Mother, then we shall not only be born on the same day, month, and year, but also die on the same day, month, and year!
Chapter 532 Zhu Bite from the Heart
October 24: Romulus and Remus arrived at the banks of the Tiber River, where they had been found by wolves years ago, and decided to build their own country there.
They brought with them the slaves captured from Amulio, which solved the most basic population problem. The next most important problem was site selection.
Romulus thought Palatine Hill, with its historical significance and convenient transportation, was more suitable. However, Remus thought Aventine Hill, which was easy to defend and strategically important, was more suitable. So the two brothers decided that it would be more appropriate to build the city according to God's will.
The two stood on the mountain they had chosen, agreeing that whoever had an eagle flying overhead would be the one Zhu Bite had chosen.
Half a day later, the two brothers met again.
Romulus: "You lost, Remus. An eagle flew over my head."
Remus: "No, Romus, you're the one who lost! Eagles flew over my head too. And there were six of them!"
Romulus: "That's unfortunate, I have even more here, a full twelve."
Neither brother could convince the other, so they decided to decide the location of the new town by the outcome of a duel.
"Ugh……"
Lin Ye sighed. This is how the tragedy happened; in this very struggle, Romulus killed his own brother, Remus.
Lin Ye initially couldn't understand why the two, who were originally close brothers, would fight to the death over a location; it was simply too foolish.
But after so many simulations, Lin Ye gradually came to understand the persistence of the heroic spirits from all over the world.
Just like the relationship between the emperor and his ministers in China, if the emperor orders a minister to die, the minister is considered disloyal for not doing so. If the emperor orders a minister to kill his best brother, the minister must do it even if he is unwilling. Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, and righteousness are paramount.
Similarly, in this era, God is greater than everything. Romulus and Remus both believe that they have received a divine oracle and that they are God's choice. Therefore, for the sake of the God they believe in and for a better future, the two brothers must stick to their choice.
October 25th: On the banks of the Tiber River, Romulus and Remus had already taken their stances, ready for battle. Just as the two decided to fight to the death, Lin Ye's voice suddenly rang out.
