Chapter 490
byChapter 490: Awakening
"Alright, I will take back those two policies, but can we solve the current issue first? If this matter is not resolved quickly, Presea will fall into crisis again." Easley said, "Teresa, you don’t understand politics. There are too many eyes on Presea now, and we can’t make any mistakes."
"As long as we give others a chance, the empire that my father worked so hard to build will collapse."
Teresa was silent for a moment, then sighed, "Okay, I will advise them to leave, and then help you defeat this monster. There are some things we need to discuss seriously."
With that, Teresa rushed out of the protective barrier, her large sword aimed at the Kappa.
Although Kappa is a BOSS template, with Presea’s defense magic circle and Winter Fortress’s Magic Cannon, it is still being pushed back repeatedly.
With Teresa’s great power and Winter Fortress’s defense, this Kappa won’t last long.
Just as Teresa was about to take action, she heard a voice beside her.
"Teresa, don’t trust him!"
"Karoso?" Teresa was shocked.
In her heart, Karoso was already dead, and she never expected to hear his voice at that moment.
"You need to take these people and escape quickly; they are the spark of revolution."
"What do you mean? Where are you?" Teresa looked around, her magic extending like tentacles, but she still did not see Karoso.
She felt a great joy and surprise in her heart.
Karoso is not just her friend, but also her comrade.
As long as he is alive, Teresa won’t have to face many things alone.
"I am in another world, so I can’t talk to you too much."
"In short, Easley is keeping you safe. Do you believe that as soon as this monster is dealt with, you will be captured by him!"
In the story experienced by the players, Teresa was locked away for two whole years, just like Karoso.
Karoso summoned this Kappa here using his Mirror World rules because he wanted to save them.
Overthrowing Presea’s regime at this time?
It is unrealistic! The hidden power of Winter Fortress is too strong.
Furthermore, Teresa’s reputation in the country is currently low.
She relied on some people to help her speak everywhere, gaining popularity and bringing together a group of like-minded individuals.
Then, she escaped from the Winter Fortress and negotiated with her uncle and Hercules, the two Guardian Deities, to let them stand aside.
With the support of many young revolutionaries, along with the help of the rebel army and Merlin, they were able to overthrow Easley’s regime.
The Teresa of now is far from that.
Teresa, in terms of reputation and control over the country, is no match for Easley.
Moreover, the anger within the country has yet to ignite.
"He is my brother; he wouldn’t do that," Teresa said. "I still want to talk to him."
"He has changed; the Crown Prince is already imprisoned! Ah, let’s not talk about that. I didn’t ask you to go against him right now; I just need you to escort these people away and then find a way to negotiate with Easley, making him do what you want and change what you dislike. Negotiation needs strength; because he is your brother, he will think you are simply being foolish. His promise to you means nothing."
"Once you leave here, you will at least have two allies. You have me, Aileen, and these ambitious young people; Easley would not dare to underestimate you. But what about now? Here, you are alone, with nothing, and he can manipulate you as he wishes! Plus, since you are from the royal family, if he captures you, it would be hard for us to rescue you. Interfering in your internal affairs or family matters would be like declaring war on Presea."
"Why do you know so much…?" Teresa frowned slightly.
Even if Karoso is not dead, isn’t he in another space?
After all, Karoso helped her temporarily escape from Easley and raised doubts about him.
He is still her brother, so she would definitely think more about it.
Once she thought of this, her mind calmed down a lot.
"Hahahahaha…"
At that moment, a crazy laughing voice suddenly appeared in the air.
Teresa looked up sharply and saw Hyros appearing above.
"What kind of strange monster dares to attack Presea?"
Hyros held the giant axe and swung it at the Kappa.
Whack!
Black blood splattered out, and the Kappa let out a loud scream.
He saw that one of its huge arms had been chopped off by Hyros.
Easley sighed in relief; as long as he came back, everything could be solved!
What Teresa, what rebels, what monsters, it all seemed unimportant.
It seemed there was no need to use the hidden power of Winter Fortress anymore.
A secret card is really a secret only if it is not seen by others; once it’s seen, its power is greatly weakened.
"Uncle! Quick, defeat this monster! These people seem to have gained some forbidden power and want to rebel against Presea!" Easley shouted. "Teresa seems to have been swayed too; catch her as well, but don’t hurt her!"
"I am not being swayed; I am serious." Teresa suddenly looked at Easley.
"Teresa! Father spoils you and lets you be willful, but that is Father! As your older brother, I must teach you well." Easley stared at Teresa, "You cannot continue being willful."
"Did you just lie to me when you said you wanted to talk and take back the policy?" Teresa tightened her grip on the sword.
She had just told Karoso that this would not happen, but she never expected it to come so quickly.
"Changing orders overnight, where do you place the dignity of the country and the royal family!" Easley said forcefully.
"Is a life more important or is dignity more important!" Teresa swung her sword towards the Winter Fortress, "Your people can’t live like this anymore! If you continue with these two taxes, our population will at least be halved!"
Dong!
The shield blocked her power.
"Royal power is greater than everything." Easley sighed, "Sister, you will understand this later."
Teresa trembled in the air.
"You all hurry back!" Teresa turned and ordered immediately, "I will hold them off for you!"
Ryleyev felt a bit dizzy.
He thought there was hope, but when Hyros appeared, he knew there was no chance.
"We will shed our blood on this square! Your Highness, you should go!" Ryleyev said strongly, "I am lucky to know you. I didn’t expect you to be willing to fight for the people just like us."
"The future of this country depends on you."
"No one gets away!" Easley commanded, "Uncle, we can handle this monster. Herman, Peter, take it down!"
"Uncle, capture all those traitors."
"Okay!" Hyros said as he rushed towards Teresa.
The overwhelming pressure, like a mountain pressing down, filled Teresa with dread.
Ding!
At that moment, a figure suddenly shot out from the crack and stood in front of Hyros!
