"My lord Baal!

O Lord of thunder, storm, and harvest!

Please understand my will to revenge.

Climb over the top of the mountain and rain down on my enemies the thunder of surprise attacks!Thunder over the mountain! "

A few seconds ago, it was Hannibal's real name that liberated his Noble Phantasm, allowing the bone-chilling cold of the Alps above 3000 meters above sea level to descend on the city where the Roman army was stationed.

The war elephants uttered the battle roar that pulled the power of thunder, representing the belief of the country of Carthage and Hannibal's own will of thunder.

At the same time, as the deeds of Hannibal win over Roman enemies of all ethnic groups, countless weapons representing the former Carthaginian allies are interspersed in the wind and snow.

The scimitar used by the Carthaginians, the epee of the Gauls, the javelins of the Numidian cavalry, and the flying stones of the Balearic slingers.

It looked like a small king's treasure, storming the United Kingdom's barracks.

In the original plot, Caesar of the second singularity once said: "Idiot! How can human beings be opponents of followers?"

Although this principle may not apply to some comparisons, right now, a whole legion of soldiers is likely to be buried under Hannibal's treasure.

At this moment, a sigh came from the barracks, and a huge and brilliant circular building was unfolded with magic power, blocking the impact of thunder and weapons.

"The amphitheatre, it turned out to be the emperor."

Shirou in the distance, looking at this shining building that is enough to represent the history of Rome, said silently.

071. Double Emperor

The amphitheatre, though with its huge size and magic power, could be used for defense in itself.

But its significance as a Noble Phantasm is not just a building.

Countless flashing lights, shining light from the hollows on the walls of the arena, are the favorite of the Romans-the spotlights for the highly anticipated decisive battles between gladiators.

Many gladiators and even ferocious beasts gathered by magic power filed out of the arena with shouts, and launched a brave and fearless charge towards Rome's nemesis.

Inspired by this Noble Phantasm, the soldiers stationed in the city cheered proudly.

All eyes focused on the emperor who stood on a high place and had just released the treasure, and regarded him as the only person he could trust.

"Don't panic, because Yu is here!"

The emperor was not tall, but his physique was extremely muscular, his eyes radiated a kind light, coupled with the iconic Noble Phantasm, Shirou had already guessed his identity: Titus, the tenth emperor of the Roman Empire.

The United Kingdom is known as the Roman emperor with multiple existences. In the original plot, only the ancestors, Caesar and Caligula appeared. In addition, Jing Ke also mentioned when she appeared on the scene that she had killed three emperor servants.

After all, the first emperor in the history of the moon was so strong that he flew into the sky, and Jing Ke's setting strength also increased accordingly. The three Roman emperors with local additions were naturally no problem.

But Shirou didn't expect that he would meet a well-known sage king not long after he entered the enemy's rear.

Titus, as the tenth emperor, sounds far away from the era of Nero, but in fact, in 69 AD, Rome changed four emperors in just one year.

Therefore, Titus and Nero are actually people of the same era. In the city of Rome, you can still find a 21-year-old real-life youth version of Titus.

Before Titus became emperor, he was also dubbed the "Second Nero". Not only did he lead a dissolute life, but also used cruel and tyrannical means to fight against political opponents during his tenure as consul, even using banquets as an excuse. Lure the rebels to your residence and kill them.

Although he showed evidence of the person's treason after being killed on the spot, this move violated the Roman banquet culture and caused unprecedented fear and criticism.

The Roman historian once recorded: "There has never been an emperor who failed the expectations and violated the public opinion like him when he ascended the throne."

After all, even tyrants like Caligula and Nero hid their true nature well before they came to power.

But Titus is doing the opposite: before taking the position, let yourself go, but after taking the position, you will fully show the demeanor of a generation of wise kings.

He implemented a benevolent government to the country, focusing on generosity and harmony, and respected the property of the people.He even forgave the nobles who planned to assassinate him.

Mingming learned that his younger brother Domitian had participated in the rebellion, but Titus never attacked him. Instead, he declared that Domitian was his colleague and heir, and privately begged the latter to love him with tears.

To be honest, the images before and after are completely opposite, and the contrast is so huge that many historians can't help but suspect that this is an acting skill that is too much.

After all, at the place where he was enthroned, in order to quell the public opinion that was unfavorable to him, Titus also sent his beloved Jewish princess Berenice out of Rome, and the purpose was not obvious.

But regardless of the sage's deeds, Titus' benevolent government has contributed to the development of the country, wiped a lot of buttocks for Nero, and also knows the hobbies of the Romans, and built the famous amphitheater at his own expense.

A leader who does nothing is more terrifying than a corrupt official or a tyrant. Although Titus may be an actor, his performance has won the love of the people.

And in this singularity, it is still the pillar of the heart of the Roman soldiers.

"Romans! Keep praising Yu!"

Facing the brilliance of the prototype arena, Titus looked solemn like a saint, and shouted to the soldiers with open hands.

The soldiers cheered even louder, and Titus seemed to be inspired by it, and the magical response continued to rise.

"O enemy of my ancestors! Are you sure you want to advance with barbaric destruction, against the public opinion represented by Yu?"

Titus, bathed in the radiance of the saint, asked Hannibal.

But he got the latter's snort: "I destroy you, what does it have to do with you?"

The war elephants continued to neigh and trample, and led to even more astonishing thunder strikes. Whether it was bombarding the heroic gladiators or the glorious Colosseum, they all burst into thunder with the special attack bonus on Rome. General destructive power.

Wild servants are inherently weaker than those who fight side by side with the master. Although Titus seems to have some ability to draw strength from the love of his subjects, his Noble Phantasm still dissipates under the effect of Hannibal's special attack In the sky of Senabam City.

"What a barbaric act!"

Titus changed his face, gritted his teeth, and said, "As expected of a son of an evil nation who loves sacrifices!"

What he mentioned was the evil ritual of burning children alive in the Carthage sacrifice to the god Baal, which also aroused the anger and criticism of the Greeks and later Christianity.

Ironically, when Carthage finally fell, the Romans burned the entire city, including the temple.

Titus' words could be called cruel, but with Hannibal's steel-like will, he just showed a shallow sneer: "You who enjoy fighting with living people and beasts, how can you be better? At least My current position is that I would rather put aside hatred and maintain the last fire of human civilization, but you are on the side of the accomplices who burned all human history!"

Not to mention the second brother, the Greeks are indeed qualified to criticize the Carthaginians, but Rome, especially the royal family, is not known for its benevolence.

They are all limited products of history.

Titus had no words to respond to this, and could only say viciously: "I am only on the side of the ancestor of the god! He will not make mistakes! We must get rid of you, the enemy of Rome..."

There was a crimson light emitting from his body, and his expression became more and more ferocious.

Shirou has always felt that Titus's state is a little strange: his previous brilliance as a saint does not seem to be fake, but the fierce appearance at this time also seems to come from his true feelings.

"His magical reaction seems to be changing! It's almost like a different person!"

Doctor Roman reminded through the communication device.

Shirou frowned, thinking of a possibility: dual personality or split personality.

It's not that Shirou foresaw things like a god, but there are examples of Henry Jekyll and Hyde first.

"I must get rid of you... Vesuvius, which I hate, spread my bad luck with magma!"

Titus released his second Noble Phantasm with scorching heat spreading all over his body.

072. This is a Trial

"I can smell the smell of volcanic ash on you."

Titus looked at Hannibal Road in the snowstorm from afar.

"I came from Mount Etna."

Hannibal replied with a flat face, but there was a slight difference in his heart: Isn't this guy's perception too much?

"So, what's the matter?"

He increased the supply of magic power, and the thunderstorms triggered by the war elephants bombarded Titus intensively.

"It's nothing, just thinking of the immature self in the past."

Facing the attack of restraining himself, Titus seemed to be absent-minded and thoughtful: "I used to think that this is a trial, as long as I overcome the immature past, I can get rid of the shadow of yesterday, but now that I think about it, I was still too naive at the time.”

The arena, which was brilliant and symbolized the achievements of Titus, was finally destroyed by the thunder, but another wave of scorching magic power manifested a product capable of resisting Hannibal's Noble Phantasm.

It is not the achievement of being a Roman emperor, but a product of some kind of overhead resentment. The special attack effect of Hannibal's treasure seems to be unable to enjoy the full bonus when confronting it.

Through the scorching magma generated by the magic power and the sinister expression, Shirou could clearly feel that Titus was no longer the wise emperor, but more like the brutal consul before he ascended the throne.

It is not uncommon for a king with such a huge contrast between before and after. Gilgamesh had two periods, the wise king Shan and the middle second Shan, who could appear in different forms of servants.

But unlike Gilgamesh's epiphany, Titus's reformation was given the evaluation of calming public opinion by later generations.

Titus had been a brutal consul for ten years, executed numerous potential threats to the imperial power with strict standards, and was known for collecting money and accepting bribes.

But after becoming the emperor, it seems too much to forgive the rebellion that assassinated him, and to build the world-wide magnificent Colosseum out of his own pocket.

But still the same sentence: A sage doesn't care about his heart when he talks about his deeds, and there is no saint when he talks about his heart.

Lu Xun once said: "If a mask is worn on the face for a long time, it will become a part of the face."

Regardless of whether he sincerely repented or showed it to others, in short, Titus did use his two-year career as emperor to completely reverse the bad impression of the consul period, and left the name of a virtuous king for future generations.

If he had been in power for a longer period of time, the world could have selectively forgotten all its previous stains.

But I have to say that his luck is not very good.

In just two years, first encountered the violent eruption of Mount Vesuvius, the volcanic ash will bury two whole cities, one of which is the famous Pompeii.

Subsequently, another fire comparable to Nero's period broke out in Rome, burning for three consecutive days and nights.

After that, an unprecedented plague broke out in the city.

The media of later generations generally like to describe natural disasters as once in a thousand years, but Titus caught up with three in just two years. As a follower, his lucky E may be because the lowest is only E.

During these catastrophes, Titus fulfilled all his responsibilities as an emperor. He actively participated in disaster relief, resettled the displaced victims, and raised private money from the emperor's treasury for relief and reconstruction work.

They also used divination, medical treatment and other means to deal with the plague, searched all the sacrificial methods and various good medicines to fight the disease.

Some people say that these bad lucks are the retribution of the brutal rule during the consul period, but this retribution is too heavy, why is it so difficult to be a good person?

He seeks to leave a name in history, but when the world mentions his name, besides the Colosseum, Vesuvius is the only thing that comes to mind.

If these natural disasters have nothing to do with Titus' subjective behavior, then the man-made disasters that led to his untimely death must be said to be a cause and effect.

Titus died of a febrile illness in AD 81, but historians generally speculate that he was assassinated by his brother Domitian.

Combined with Titus' previous behavior of trying to impress his younger brother for the sake of public opinion, it has to be said that it is a bit ironic.

The pain and remorse of being betrayed before he died, as well as the unbroken karma with Mount Vesuvius, sublimated into his second Noble Phantasm.

Just like the Grand Duke's Second Noble Phantasm, even if he doesn't like it, it is still part of the legend of his heroic spirit.

Those summoned by Leif at this singularity are all Roman emperors, that is to say, the appearance of Titus as a servant is the period when he was called the wise king.

But this repressed nature and resentment for making fun of fate have always haunted his career as emperor.

When this treasure is released, his anger and negative personality will be fully activated.

"Yu originally thought that by overcoming the immature past, he would be able to get rid of the shadow of yesterday, but since he has been lingering, let Yu blend into the shadow!"

The scorching magical power opposed Hannibal's Noble Phantasm representing cold, and the soldiers of the United Kingdom were also involved.

"Why, Your Majesty..."

The Roman soldiers had no idea that the holy Titus would become like this, unbelievably a victim of magma.

And Titus's face became more and more ferocious, his eyes jumped over Hannibal, and looked at the direction of Rome in the distance.

"I want to reach the city of Rome, kill Domitian, kill his supporters, and even kill my weak past self! How can I fall down here?"

The other personality declared thus, transforming all resentment into a volcano of rage billowing with magma.

"Another guy who wants to kill himself in the past?"

Shirou couldn't help shaking his head.

In fact, the two personalities of Titus are more like Piccolo and Celestial in "Dragon Ball". He is determined to become a great emperor, and he suppresses the cruelty of the past in the deepest part of his heart.

If the country's fortunes were good, this cruelty could have been suppressed to death, but due to successive bad luck, conflicts and divisions arose in Titus' heart.

In particular, Domitian's betrayal sublimated this resentment and created another servant with a dual personality.

The awakening of negative personalities can be especially activated by being close to Domitian, your younger self, and the breath of the volcano.

"Interesting opponent..."

Hannibal didn't hesitate to move forward because of the opponent's mutation. He never flinched from Rome in his life, but instead showed an expression of excitement and longing.

But the second Noble Phantasm of Titus seems to be too large - the heat alone is enough to dehydrate and suffocate ordinary people.

In the process of marching to Gaul, relying on Hannibal's ability to fool, Shirou has gathered an army with everything except the Romans, and these people are all mortals.
