Chapter 374: Alliance
[By the way, can what Master Karoso said really be achieved?]
[It is impossible for Master Karoso to create the world we want unless there is a miraculous change that eliminates the differences in lifespan and power.]
[It is always correct to first weaken the power of the church and the nobles.]
[This worldview can become capitalism, which is quite impressive, at least stronger than feudalism.]
"’It’s just a weakening…’ Aileen’s interest clearly dropped a lot."
"’In any case, our goals are quite similar. We all cannot bear to see the suffering of ordinary people and wish for them to live better.’ Karoso looked at the two: ‘How about we form an alliance?’"
"’What kind of alliance?’ Aileen asked with confusion."
"Teresa raised an eyebrow, seemingly a bit interested: ‘In terms of power, Presea may not be the best in the world, but it’s close enough. Because of military developments and Second Brother’s policies, the people are suffering greatly.’"
"’If we want to eliminate the noble class, or the so-called tyranny, we have to start with ourselves.’"
"’Let me tell you, I am just a princess. I do not plan to fight for the throne. And my father is still very healthy, so it’s unlikely anything will happen that I could decide. There are many things I want to do and have been doing, but my abilities are limited. I cannot take power from my father.’"
"’Yes, I understand, so it’s just an alliance among us.’ Karoso sighed to himself."
The death of Emperor Augustus was completely unavoidable, as it was destined.
Emperor Augustus had old injuries and was not in good health. On that day, his old wounds would certainly flare up together, leading to his death.
It was also at that time that Teresa felt very sad, which is why she left Winterfell City to clear her mind and see how many people mourned for her father.
Unfortunately, what she saw was not the people sincerely grieving for her father.
Now, in Presea, under a harsh and cruel government, the people at the bottom of society had to submit to the feet of the noble officials, living humble lives. They felt small, accepted their fate, were satisfied with their situation, had no hopes, felt numb and weak, were mocked, and were easily taken advantage of, living in poverty and finding it hard to survive.
The lives of the people at the bottom of society were not guaranteed, not to mention any property.
Especially with the high military expenses, the people had no entertainment or leisure.
With complete control, tight surveillance, and a culture of informing on others, the people had no privacy at all, exposing everything to the rulers. The whole society felt like an open prison, where every action and word of the people was strictly monitored. Everyone lived in fear, afraid of making mistakes.
The severity of this situation was comparable to a literary prison.
Teresa no longer felt anything because Emperor Augustus also told her that a world war was coming. They endured hardship, but at least they could still live.
Without the protection of big ships and mighty cannons, they could not even survive.
Only after Emperor Augustus died did the Second Prince take the throne and become more ruthless. Teresa entered the common world and saw the real suffering, understanding what it meant to lose freedom. It was then that she truly awakened, began to resist, and ultimately became Emperor Presea.
"Okay." Teresa nodded and picked up her cup. "I admire your dreams, so I am willing to ally with you and provide as much help as I can. The condition is that no bullets can hit me."
"Hmm… Alright!" Aileen also raised her cup. "Once I deal with the Shield Wind Fortress, I will thoroughly investigate the Knights’ Tournament and bring down those vampires!"
"Then it’s settled." Karoso raised his cup as well, clinking it with the others, and the three of them drank it all.
"By the way, do you want to eliminate some of them to send a warning, or what?" Teresa looked at Aileen.
"I want to remove the tumor of the Pande Empire." Aileen declared firmly.
"I feel like you might die before Karoso does…" Teresa looked at Aileen. "Do you know who your opponents are?"
"Karoso said it could be all the nobles of this country, or even the nobles of the whole world." Aileen replied firmly, "But just because it’s difficult and might lead to death, should we not try?"
Aileen is very innocent, and you could even say very foolish.
But the changes in the world and the happiness of the people need people like this ‘fool,’ not the ‘smart people’ who just sigh from the sidelines, nor the ‘slaves’ who only complain.
She might make sacrifices, but she is not afraid of sacrifice.
She believes that her completely unrealistic dream will inspire countless people to follow in her footsteps, because that is also the meaning of the Knight King’s existence long ago.
"Okay, I admire you!" A glint of brilliance flashed in Teresa’s eyes, "If you need help, just ask!"
"We have already provided help," Karoso said, "I provided one million Magic Crystal Coins, and our Canglang Province provided an elite camp."
"I also provided an elite team," Teresa said with a smile.
"Huh?" Aileen was taken aback for a moment.
You provided me with troops? How did I not know this?
"Don’t rush to refuse; we are not trying to force you to do anything." Karoso said, "This journey will be very difficult. Relying only on your reputation and the Sword in the Stone is not enough. You need people, you need support."
"I don’t think you want to go there and use violence to suppress everyone, right?"
"In the story of the Knight King, many Knights of the Round Table submitted to the noble character of the Knight King."
"Don’t worry; I will win them over with my kindness." Aileen hesitated a bit, "But your people…"
"Our goals are the same; we all want the people to live better. Offering you help is only right." Karoso said, "What I think about is not just Canglang Province, but all the people…"
"Karoso…" Aileen opened her mouth, feeling very touched, and for a moment, she didn’t even know how to express her thanks.
An elite group, an elite camp; this army’s strength is much greater than a division, simply because their equipment is excellent.
"But… The Kingdom of Knights uses this…"
"At that time, the Knight King did not have such advanced technology," Karoso said. "The introduction of technology will only make life more convenient for the people. Do you want the people to continue living in a primitive society just to keep the old traditions?"
Aileen paused for a moment, then quickly realized, "I understand now."
"When you start investigating the knights’ assembly, the world will likely tremble," Karoso smiled. "You must always remember that you are not fighting alone. You have comrades who share your dreams and knights who believe in you."
"Let us do something grand together and leave our mark in history."
