Chapter 505: Karoso’s Strategy

"We have our ancestors as witnesses, Acheron as a witness, and countless heroic spirits as witnesses!" Karoso smiled slightly, "It counts."

Elizabeth stamped her foot and decisively ran toward the Black Pearl.

"Wait…"

Before Karoso could finish calling out, Elizabeth had already jumped onto the ship and shouted, "Set sail!"

Then the Black Pearl sailed away, just like that!

[Oh no, Master Karoso, can’t you be a bit gentler and comfort her?]

[Seeing Elizabeth being abandoned like this is so heartbreaking.]

[Well, Master Karoso is such a good man; he was very clear and showed no hesitation.]

[Isn’t it too unfair to Elizabeth?]

[If this continues, neither of them will be happy.]

[We’re in ancient times; what’s wrong with having a harem…?]

[What she truly wants is to be the only one, right?]

"Karoso, you can’t just do this…" Teresa couldn’t help but feel a bit helpless.

"She will find out sooner or later; it’s better to end it quickly than to suffer longer," Karoso sighed. "I promised 『』 that I would take good care of her."

"Well…" 『』 didn’t know what to say.

Karoso stood firmly by her side and revealed everything; she felt very happy.

But watching Elizabeth run far away, she felt a little hurt.

To be honest, although 『』 and Karoso knew each other longer than Elizabeth, in terms of feelings, Elizabeth came first; she was the later one.

"Let’s give her some time to calm down," Karoso said, looking at Teresa. "Now is not the time to talk about this; we need to quickly discuss our strategy. They won’t give us much time to prepare."

……

Soon, Karoso, Teresa, 『』, and Ryleyev, the representative of the students, arrived at the conference room of a fortress.

Several generals from the Pande Empire had already been captured.

"First, I want to talk about the problems we will face," Karoso said, looking around at everyone. "In the upcoming battle, we may have to deal with the ninth level."

"Huh?" Teresa was taken aback. "What do you mean? Aren’t the ninth level not allowed to participate in battles?"

Ryleyev was also surprised.

He had wanted to die there before, but now that he was alive, he naturally wouldn’t seek death again. Instead, he would think about what he could do with his useful life.

Being level nine in a war, no matter how the revolution went, would be pointless!

"I am level nine, I have already taken action, and I will bring all level nines to fight," Karoso said firmly.

The version of him in another world made this choice, and he understood why.

The gap between both sides was just too big; Karoso could only rely on himself to make up for it.

The difference was that the Karoso from that world was always causing trouble, but he had no intention of revolution, so the targeting he faced wasn’t particularly strong.

But this world’s Karoso was likely to face a strong attack.

"Wait, you did it on purpose?" Teresa twitched her mouth, "If you want to seek death, don’t drag us along! Do you know how serious it is for level nines to participate in a war? You are the only one, and they… we don’t know how many there are."

"I know, but I will still choose to fight. First of all, the gap between us is too big. Any hint of revolution will be firmly crushed because we would be enemies of all the nobles." Karoso replied, "Although other countries want to see Presea fail, when it comes to the core issues, they will not hold back."

"But if I fight, it will be different. My presence will put some pressure on them."

"My ultimate goal is to ensure that those above the sixth tier do not participate in the war; otherwise, we will have too little high-level combat power and won’t be able to fight at all."

"I disagree!" Teresa stood up and said firmly, "You have no idea how terrifying their methods are. Don’t even mention tier nine; even if you are a demi-god, if you are locked by Light Momentum, you are finished!"

"What if I have a way to counter Light Momentum?" Karoso looked silently at Teresa.

"Are you sure?" Teresa paused for a moment.

"Of course, I’m not looking for death." Karoso explained, "As long as they can’t catch me, I will be like a tier nine thief, putting immense pressure on them. If they use strong people to bully us and attack us, I will go to their place and cause destruction."

"If they kill our soldiers, I will kill their soldiers."

"How small is our number? They can’t afford to lose."

It’s like both sides have nuclear weapons; the big country will never confront North Korea head-on because those with nothing to lose are not afraid of those with something to lose. A direct confrontation is not worth it.

In a normal world, a ninth-tier power is a nuclear deterrent.

Now, Karoso wants to change the level of this deterrent, adding eighth-tier and seventh-tier powers to it and then eliminating the old system.

This is a difficult path, and many people might die.

But if we don’t fight this way, we definitely won’t have a chance.

Revolutions are very hard.

Overthrowing a class is not something that can be done in a day.

"Aren’t you afraid of angering them and causing all their countries to unite against us? We wouldn’t be able to withstand a simple military crush. You just said we are their common enemy," Teresa frowned and said.

"It’s different," Karoso shook his head. "If I don’t do this, or if I don’t take action, those big countries will directly send a large group of eighth-tier experts to crush us. With our small force, how many eighth-tiers can we withstand?"

"The eighth-tier easily dealt with us, and they could continue the previous war, which is the war between Pande and Persia."

"Their conventional war will definitely continue. But if I can force all the seventh-tier and eighth-tier to not take action, then Pande and Persia won’t be able to send troops against us. Other countries sending ordinary soldiers to fight us… Don’t forget, this is Pande’s territory. Pande is one of the five permanent members, so how could they act without control?"

"As long as the situation becomes complex, it will be in our favor."

"Huh, I have my doubts. I hope you succeed. If you die… we will have lost half of our chances. Damn, I wish you were not eighth-tier but ninth-tier…" Teresa scratched her head.

"That would be too naive. I, eighth-tier, can fight, but we cannot win. If they get serious, we are done for," Karoso said helplessly. "Never underestimate the strength of all the countries."

"But how long can this threat last? Even if you can intimidate for a hundred years, what does it matter?" Teresa looked at Karoso. "As long as you are gone, even if we win, they can easily destroy our regime, just like the fall of the Knight King."

"At that time, we might cultivate a new deterrent, at least better than now." Karoso thought everything needed to give Neymar time.

Only ordinary people possessing the Magical Circle of Deicide can gain a certain level of security.

Moreover, there is a gap in information; only Karoso knows that future firearms can defeat these Professionals.
