Everyone else can rest, but he can't, because he has the most comprehensive intelligence and can quickly analyze and handle any unexpected situations that may occur.
However, before Marne could finish speaking, Aozaki Touko interrupted him.
"Alright, alright, let them handle the surveillance. We 'mortals' need to conserve our energy so we can better face the challenges ahead. Let's go."
As she said this, Aozaki Touko dragged herself toward the nearby city gate.
As she passed Nero, Aozaki Touko gave him a meaningful look, and Nero nodded subtly in response.
"No, wait a minute, sigh, I'll go, okay? Let me go, I can walk by myself."
Ma En struggled as Aozaki Touko dragged him away, and everyone else looked away.
Nero secretly placed some restrictions on the city walls without anyone noticing.
Because Mother Gilgamesh went to rest in spirit form, while Lion King and Mordred looked at their respective Masters who were bound into cocoons.
"Can we release them now? We need them to supply us with magic. We'll explain the situation to them ourselves..." the Prince asked Nero.
"Of course." Lu looked at the corrupted army stationed outside the city wall and waved his hand without turning his head.
The Lion King nodded and, together with Mordred, rescued the three and awakened them.
After the three woke up, they were all quite agitated because their memories were stuck before they fainted.
Especially after seeing Nero, he immediately struggled to get up and prepare for battle.
However, after being comforted by the two, they quickly calmed down and then began to understand the situation from the two.
……
the other side.
Maren was dragged into the castle tower by Aozaki Touko, and he gave up and silently began to prepare his bed.
"Marne, there's something I think you need to know."
Aozaki Touko, standing behind Ma En, watched him busily making the bed and hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"what's up?"
Ma En quickly set up several beds and separated them with curtains, and prepared some daily necessities so that everyone would have a place to rest. Upon hearing this, Ma En turned around and looked at Aozaki Touko with a puzzled expression, wondering what this older sister was up to.
“Actually…” Saki Touko took a deep breath before slowly saying, “The prophecy I told you before wasn’t entirely true; I’ve changed some of it.”
"..."
Ma En blinked and looked quietly at Aozaki Touko, waiting for her to continue.
Then, under Marne's watchful gaze, Aozaki 0.9 Orange slowly uttered the true prophecy. (See Chapter 71 for details)
"???"
Marx and Eng were filled with questions. Why did this prophecy sound so strange? It seemed a bit unorthodox.
Before Ma En could think further, Aozaki Touko attacked him directly.
"No? Not again?!" En muttered speechlessly.
Aozaki Touko ignored what he was saying, looked directly into his eyes, and continued speaking to herself:
“I hope you understand that no matter which version of the prophecy it is, something could happen to you, so please don’t put yourself in danger anymore, okay? I’m very worried about you.”
Hearing Aozaki Touko's words, which were almost a confession, Ma En slowly nodded: "Okay, I definitely won't do it again next time."
Aozaki Touko smiled upon receiving a response, and then she did something Nero had done.

Chapter 91 Orange and Nero's Plan, Marne Being 'Played'
The next morning, Marx and Engels walked out of the city gate alone.
As for why Aozaki Touko didn't come out with them?
There are many unspeakable things here, so I won't go into too much detail.
As soon as Marne came out, he saw Nero, who had been waiting for a long time, winking at him, which made him both amused and exasperated.
He had already found out last night what Nero had talked about with Aozaki Touko.
Based on the prediction that something might happen to him, both sides reached a consensus on cooperation and mutual benefit.
Then they exchanged some information. For example, Nero knew that Marne actually had a wife, but they had to be separated for the time being, and that Marne was also working hard to bring her back, and so on.
Finally, Nero accepted Aozaki Touko, citing his inability to remain in the mortal realm for long and his inability to continue staying by Marne's side, and entrusted her with the task of taking good care of Marne.
After understanding the situation, Aozaki Touko readily agreed, since that was exactly what she wanted to do here.
As for Marne's scumbag behavior of having a wife and then getting together with Nero, well...
Aozaki Touko selectively ignored it.
In her opinion, Marne was actually quite devoted to his partner, especially after Nero learned more about him.
Not to mention the efforts they made to bring their loved ones back, and their attitude of not daring to slack off for even a moment.
The fact that Marne was able to defend against Nero's aggressive style for so long is enough to prove that Marne is actually quite devoted in love.
If it were someone else, being pursued so relentlessly by such a beautiful woman, they would probably be eager to disarm themselves on the spot and do whatever they wanted.
And at the very least, Ma En never actively flirted with other women.
Although after we got to know each other, I would sometimes make some dirty jokes, but that was just a motherly attitude, reminding me to cherish my body and pay attention to my lifestyle.
If there is any intimate contact, Ma En has always avoided it unless the woman takes the initiative to reveal her feelings, express her love, and force him to be exclusive, then he will passively accept it.
Although this is quite despicable, and he doesn't even plan to take responsibility for the woman's affairs afterward, it's hard to say who is the worst since the woman knew he had a wife and still went for it.
However, although Marx and Eng did not make any promises verbally, their actions were not as heartless as they appeared. On the contrary, they were quite remorseful and seemed to be taking all the blame upon themselves.
For example, last night, when Nero was in a critical moment, he risked everything to shield him from that attack.
It was precisely for this reason that Aozaki Touko made up her mind to seize the opportunity and quickly make things official with Ma Ensheng, lest she miss the chance and have no other opportunity.
At the same time, it was also to make Ma En behave himself. After all, Ma En was really capable of causing trouble. In the false prophecy, knowing that something might happen to him, he still dared to rush into danger. She was really afraid that Ma En would suddenly cause trouble and get himself killed.
After learning all this and understanding everything, Marx and Engels also reflected on their own behavior.
But apart from being a bit reckless, I couldn't find anything wrong with it.
If I had to say something, it would probably be that his survival methods aren't quite perfect enough, or that he's not cunning enough. At least compared to someone like Aozaki Touko, he doesn't have a good resurrection ability; he only has one life.
After reaching this conclusion, Marx and Engels also considered solutions, such as creating their own 'Twelve Trials'.
But it didn't work. He had finished studying the basic data of the Rune Runes during his rest last night, but the completion rate of his Fantasy Construction did not break through [%], but was stuck at an awkward value of [.%].
He couldn't construct a Rank B Noble Phantasm until he broke through 20%, and the 'Twelve Trials' happened to be Rank B.
As for Aozaki Touko's 'Phoenix Project', Maren immediately rejected it.
He wasn't fond of this body-swapping behavior. He could understand it when others did it, but he was somewhat resistant to the idea of using such a method himself.
After all, the traditional Chinese concept includes the teaching that "our bodies, hair, and skin are given to us by our parents," and Marx and Engels deeply remembered these things that could prove their existence in their previous lives.
Moreover, what's rare is that he has retained his original body, which is already rare among the transmigrators. Unless he has no other choice, Ma En would not want to give up this body unless absolutely necessary.
However, while Ma En was unwilling, Aozaki Touko disagreed.
Just last night, Aozaki Touko forcibly set up a spell on Ma En and said that she would immediately give him a life and create a puppet body for future use.
Maren thought at the time that there was no need for that, because he only needed to study some other knowledge to increase the completion rate of his fantasy construction to over 20%, and he wouldn't die so easily.
But then I thought, isn't this just a flag?!
Just in case, Ma En didn't say it aloud and silently accepted Aozaki Touko's arrangement.
This is why Marne found Nero's winking and gesturing somewhat amusing.
He was outmaneuvered by these two women.
Why did Nero cover for Aozaki Touko?
It's all to make it easier for Aozaki Touko to operate!
To make it easier for Aozaki Touko to prepare the 'Phoenix Project' for Marne.
"You're so smug, aren't you? You're really generous, getting her this morning and giving her away tonight, ugh! A woman!"
After laughing and crying, Ma En pretended to look disgusted and 'rebuked' Nero for 'playing with' him, this 'pure boy', as a scumbag.
"It's not that Yu is generous, but that someone is too charming and has someone else in his heart. If Yu doesn't pretend to be generous, he simply can't compete."
Upon hearing this, Nero immediately put on a wronged expression, as if to say, "Do you know how hard this is for me?" and began to complain about his own difficulties.
"..." En was speechless for a moment.
Although Nero's behavior was feigned, what he said was true.
Even he himself didn't expect how he had inexplicably managed to flirt with Aozaki Touko.
Sigh~ It's all because of my irresistible charm. (Just like all of you readers.)
Seeing that Marne remained silent, Nero didn't mind and skipped the topic. His eyes darted around, and he asked with a mischievous grin, "How was it? Did you 'sleep' well last night?"
He even emphasized the word 'sleep', as if afraid that Marx and Engels wouldn't understand the implication.
The sudden presentation of such a potentially disastrous question brought Marx and Engels back to their senses from their slumber.
Seeing Nero's increasingly dangerous smile, Maren's lips twitched involuntarily.
no? !
This is your own doing, how can you be jealous?!
Are you some kind of East Asian jealous king?!
No, wait! They were Romans, so, the Roman Jealous King?
No matter what it was, Ma En was sweating profusely with anxiety. His mind, which had been somewhat groggy early in the morning, was awakened by his strong will to survive.

While Marx and Eng were brainstorming, searching for a way to survive...
Seeing Marne's panicked expression, Nero immediately smiled, revealing a triumphant grin.
