Chapter 156: I Also Have an Army

"I know a lot about the history of Canglang Province, especially my father’s rags-to-riches story. I have studied it carefully." Karoso said solemnly, "There are indeed signs of that."

"If it’s true, that would be terrifying." 『』’s hands were trembling slightly. "Back then, not a single soul in the province survived."

"They are crazier than we imagined…" Teresa murmured. "This…"

"Teresa, I initially came for a fourth-tier dungeon, but the situation has changed now." Karoso said, "If we take precautions, we might avoid trouble and even gain some benefits. This is a disaster but also an opportunity. Don’t forget, after my father cleaned up the mess, he built the current Canglang Province."

Many people will definitely die in this disaster.

Karoso originally wanted to warn others in advance. However, he realized that by speaking up, the disaster might not happen, or it could be postponed, leading to an even bigger catastrophe.

Moreover…

In the words of netizens, if you speak out about the disaster in advance, you might not receive appreciation but instead face criticism, accusing you of spreading rumors. It’s only when everyone knows it’s a disaster and you are dead that they will remember you.

This incident happened in a society with a sound legal system. If it occurred in another world, it would be even more bizarre, considering the involvement of the church, deities, and many other factors.

Besides, Karoso had once contacted with the gods. If there was someone manipulating things behind the scenes, and Karoso interfered, a disaster might strike Canglang Province.

Karoso is responsible for everything he does in Canglang Province, he is not a saint.

"Oh, this is a sudden event. If something really happens, it won’t be safe on the sea or in the sky. It will be tricky for us to retreat smoothly." Teresa was not scared at all, but instead felt excited.

"Could this be related to Whyte’s unusual behavior tonight?" Eugene, who had always been concerned about his older brother’s safety, instinctively made this connection.

"How could that benefit them?" Karoso was puzzled for a moment.

[Master Karoso, please begin your performance.]

[Finally, I’ve figured it out.]

[This is the first major event of the year, and it has triggered many reactions.]

[Jenny, things are not easy to settle…]

"You also said, this is a disaster, but also an opportunity!" Teresa said in a serious tone. "If that’s the case, then everything really makes sense."

"Are they part of a strange group? Or… Marquis Einsri is part of a strange group?" 『』 scratched her chin, frowned and said, "Otherwise, why would they be acting so crazy? The population in this city is the largest in the whole kingdom."

"For their own gain, how could they possibly care about others’ lives?" Teresa scoffed. "Regardless of their reasons, we won’t have peace tonight. If this matter is related to them, they are enemies of all humanity."

"No, we must go and find out for ourselves!" Null stood up and said, "With 『』 and Mr. Will here, can one of their groups really stop us?"

"If this is true, I will do everything in my power." Eugene said solemnly.

"I will inform the Card Association and we must be prepared." The branch president also stood up.

The agent was completely frightened, not knowing what to do next.

The only thing he was sure of was that this was more than just losing a singer.

"Please don’t…" Kirmin was almost in tears. "I haven’t lived enough yet."

"Big brother is here, Teresa is here, everything will be okay…" Neymar comforted Kirmin.

Kirmin was good at small things, but she was still a little girl who had not experienced big events before, so it was already good that she was not scared silly at the moment.

On the other hand, Neymar, who had even encountered gods, seemed to have a better mindset.

Also, she blindly trusted Karoso.

"I only feel like it, it doesn’t mean that kind of thing will definitely happen," said Karoso.

"Even if there’s a hint of it, it’s already frightening," Teresa casually peeled an apple, took a bite, and said, "If you think about it carefully, what they did was unreasonable, the cost they paid to obtain a teacher’s equipment was too high. If not handled properly, this City of Freedom could truly become a city of sin. The kingdom might even launch an attack out of anger."

"In any case, let’s take action, we must see how the other areas are doing."

"If they don’t restore our communication, we’ll force our way in!"

Teresa was as decisive as ever.

Before, nobody thought about this, because it was too inhumane.

But when Karoso said that, the more people thought about it, the more frightened they felt.

It’s like a puzzle, without the answer, it’s hard to understand. But when the answer is revealed, everyone will suddenly realize, it wasn’t that difficult, they just didn’t think of using that solution.

"Her Royal Highness Princess Teresa, don’t act impulsively," Eugene quickly advised, "If you act rashly, your safety… I know Mr. Will is a powerful seventh-tier expert, but if there are too many soldiers, even experts won’t be useful. President Null and President 『』 are not invincible either."

If things are resolved, and Teresa dies, that would be a great relief!

"They have an army, don’t I have one too?" Teresa looked up at Eugene, "The City of Freedom is like a sieve, the easiest place to penetrate in the entire Kingdom of Persia. And the Presea Empire has a temporary base here, I have two regiments stationed here. Even if I can only mobilize one regiment, it’s enough."

Will remained silent, tacitly approving of Teresa’s plan of action.

"Alright, then let’s see how they can stop us," Karoso stood up.

"Young master…" Kirmin’s face turned pale, "You’re only fourth-tier, stay calm! Even if you don’t care for yourself, think about Miss Neymar! Our strength won’t be of much help."

"How did you know I couldn’t help?" Karoso looked at Kirmin and said, "I came here to have a chat with Mr. Eugene and buy some equipment. For convenience, I brought my guard battalion with me."

"Your guard battalion?" Teresa was surprised.

She mobilized the local garrison, which needed some quick adjustments. She herself didn’t have any military authority.

"Yes," Karoso smiled slightly, "my guard battalion."

The guard battalion was the most elite unit of Karoso’s army.

"Interesting, let’s see how strong Marquis Einsri is," Teresa smiled back, "Our top priority now is to restore communication. If things go further in that direction, I’ll have my father send over two battalions."

"Agreed."

The two bumped fists in the air.
