Big Terra: "Think You Can Fool Me? No Way!" / Lamanlen Rants at Teacher Big Terra.
The Blood Demon was much older than him, so it was only right to ask the elder's opinion.
My advice is to let things take their course.
What do you mean? Can we still let things take their natural course in a situation like this?
Before Teresis could react, several scarlet tentacles had already crept onto his armor, ready to attack at any moment.
"Mr. Dukare, what does this mean?"
With lightning speed, Teresis drew her sword and severed all the tentacles wrapped around her body in just a few breaths.
They quickly retreated to a very safe place, their eyes fixed intently on the Blood Demon in front of them.
"Sometimes being too smart isn't a good thing, Teresis. Do you really think we have a chance to defeat Utopia?"
"So, after experiencing countless wars, you've now chosen to betray us?"
"No, not now, but a long time ago I stopped acknowledging you two siblings. Only by becoming part of Utopia can Kazdel have a new future."
"What magic does Utopia possess that could frighten someone like you, a former hero, to such an extent?"
"This is not out of fear, but out of the future I have chosen."
Dukare lowered his head and said no more, emanating an exceptionally powerful aura that was in no way inferior to that of the Demon King without the ring.
But Teresis is also Six Heroes, so he will not back down in the slightest.
"Clearly, having lost the initiative, you don't have the ability to keep me here."
"What if I'm not the only one who comes?"
As soon as Dukare finished speaking, two figures that Teresis recognized very well suddenly appeared in the shadows behind him.
"Nizere... Lamian... what are you doing here?"
Chapter 272 Big Special: Trying to fool me? No way!
If Dukare was having some trouble dealing with Teresis alone...
Now, with Lamian, Nizere, and the whole bunch of Abundance Warrior that appear later, the rest is pretty self-explanatory.
Is the Tower of Babel scenario playing out on me?
Teresis was tied up before long and was also ambushed by Shapeshifter Collective hiding in the shadows.
"I told you not to pay me my wages!"
Then, Teacher T was sent to Utopia overnight, and he did not appear for the next few days until the city fell.
Teacher T, who was knocked unconscious from beginning to end, never understood what was going on.
Utopia Prison a few days later...
Having been stripped naked except for a nightgown, Teresis woke up in her warm little bed, surrounded by a bunch of muscular men.
"Why do I feel like I have no energy at all..."
"Your Highness, we are the same."
Suddenly, many familiar voices came into her ears. When Teresis woke up, she turned her head and found that the person next to her was none other than her former subordinate.
And it seems like they were... playing cards?
"What are you doing here? Where is Theresia?"
"General Teresis, without a doubt, we were captured just like you, but we have been here for many days."
Seeing that their leader still hadn't reacted, several members of the Demon King's personal guard explained, "The Banshee and the Scavenger Royal Court have betrayed us. They colluded with Utopia decades ago, or even longer, and not only deceived you but also Princess Theresia."
"Moreover, the lord of Utopia is the Grass-eating Demon who once participated in the Royal Court meeting, the one called Huang Cao. He is also the Speaker of Victoria and the current President of Gaul."
My God! How have we Kazdel been fooled?
Seeing the helpless look on his subordinates' faces, Teresis knew that he really couldn't help them this time, but he could still deliver the final blow.
"No, in fact, it wasn't just the Banshee and Corpse Eaters who betrayed us, but also the Blood Demon who had been in charge of finances, and the Shapeshifter who were part of the nation's infrastructure."
"Your Highness Teresis, when I heard the word 'no,' I thought there was still hope for our situation, but you brought me two pieces of bad news."
The Demon King's personal guard members present were instantly on the verge of tears.
They thought His Highness had a way to lead them out of the encirclement, but then he dropped two bombshells.
They also hoped that the Shapeshifter or the Blood Demon could use their ability to freely shape their bodies to infiltrate Utopia's prison and rescue them all, but both Royal Court betrayed them as well.
So here's the question: which Royal Court in Kazdel hasn't betrayed us?
Teresis was now helpless, and even had a feeling that this loss was not unjust.
It turns out that the lord of Utopia was actually the former Grass-eating Demon, and he hadn't discovered this great calamity for over a hundred years.
I originally thought it was a cute and adorable food reserve, but it turns out it's actually a man-eating flower.
They even managed to defeat all the other powerful nations on this land in just one hundred years.
"I never expected it to be Huang Cao. I was so careless!"
This child is a monster!
What was thought to be a small, soft, Huang Cao fragrant Grass-eating Demon turned out to be a man-eating flower that quickly developed into a force to be reckoned with, and brought all the Royal Court under its control.
How did he manage to do that? Could it be that he also possesses a mind control technique similar to the Black Crown?
It's not entirely incomprehensible that Lamian and the Shapeshifter Collective betrayed them, but why did their teacher and Dukare also betray them?
Those two are not people who can be easily persuaded.
It can't be because of a cat, right?
The Demon King's guards and Teresis, who were imprisoned, squatted in their cells, pondering what to do in the future.
There were several Banshee guarding the door, putting on makeup.
"We arrived a few days earlier than Your Highness, but I advise you not to attempt a prison break, because our strength is so weak that we can't even defeat a weak Banshee."
Hearing this, Teresis clenched her fist but didn't notice anything unusual.
"That's what we thought at first, but we realized we were too naive after we got the toothbrush."
When she picked up her toothbrush, Teresis discovered that a whole set of toiletries had been placed on her bed.
I picked up these items according to the instructions, only to find that I had such difficulty even opening the plastic packaging of a toothbrush.
"My power..."
Now I know why we couldn't beat the Banshee. Right now, our group might not even be able to beat Sarkaz kid.
"Banshee, I need to see your Lord of the Royal Court."
Teresis gripped the prison bars with both hands, her voice almost clenched through gritted teeth.
The Banshee in charge of the prison had no intention of paying attention to Teresis, who was nominally her superior.
But out of good manners, she answered very politely.
"I'm very sorry, but my sister is having a private meeting with the lord of Utopia, and I'm sorry that I cannot convey your request to them at this time."
"When did you become involved with Utopia? This is an act of treason, and history will forever condemn you to the pillory of Kazdel!"
Upon hearing this, the Banshee guarding the cell immediately put down her makeup mirror, and her words gradually became unfriendly.
As the first race to join Utopia, the Banshee enjoyed almost all the benefits that Utopia brought them.
Although they could defend their country without expecting anything in return, these two brothers certainly took advantage of each other's misfortunes when life was tough in the past.
"Could you explain why the grain we borrowed hundreds of years ago was not repaid for so many years? Although the grain was eventually repaid, the hunger I experienced that winter is something I will never forget in my life."
"I Kazdel, that's why I chose Utopia, because I know that Utopia will definitely build a new Kazdel."
If her husband brought killing, Sister Lamian could never become his wife.
If she were truly extremely brutal, Lamian would rather wipe out her entire race than allow the Utopia army to set foot in Kazdel.
Aggression is a bad word, but Utopia's attack was entirely for a better future for Kazdel, and it caused almost no actual damage.
Teresis: "Hasn't Kazdel been well-developed over the years? Everyone has enough to eat and wear!"
"If it weren't for the support of my husband, would you even be able to speak now?"
During the conversation, Teresis heard another horrifying truth: their country's ability to have Mobile City and a quality of life far exceeding what it used to be was entirely due to the promotion by Utopia.
To be fair, before the war began, the living conditions of the Sarkaz were already among the best in this land, even better than those of the Yan Country at the same time.
After all, Yan Country relies entirely on itself, and True Dragon doesn't have Master Huang's full support and backing behind it.
Kazdel basically provides whatever Master Huang's utopia needs.
Even in the Utopia's fiscal expenditure, it is written that: if we take into account the extravagant spending of the Master Huang and the operating costs of the country, all these factors combined only account for 40% of the total expenditure that year.
The remaining 60% was used to support Kazdel.
While the Sarkaz were enjoying themselves, someone was surely bearing the burden in the shadows of this race, and that person was none other than Master Huang.
After all, Kazdel didn't plant any Golden Tree, so in order to avoid being exposed, they could only use the most basic methods to deal with the Originium problem, which meant brute force to achieve miracles.
They use vast amounts of resources, regardless of cost, to achieve high grain yields.
Even now, Teresis attributes Kazdel's prosperity to her younger sister's efforts.
But this is not hard to understand, after all, this guy has never been involved in national affairs and has no idea where the raw materials for domestic production come from.
Otherwise, why are Tavern so common in Kazdel? How can a country where people can't even afford to eat still have grain to brew alcohol?
Teresis also drank alcohol, but he never considered the matter.
"Do you think I would believe that? It's nothing but your rhetoric to fool people."
Teresis said that such a trick could not fool him. If Kazdel's happy life depended entirely on utopia, then why would this country attack him?
Industrial development also relies entirely on utopia. Isn't supporting Kazdel just creating trouble for our future selves?
Teresis: How ridiculous! You think you're so funny, Banshee? Little do you know, I, with my keen eye, saw right through your tricks!
There's really no way to explain the guardian Banshee; it's not something that can be explained in just a few words.
"Actually, my Sister Lamian and the lord of Utopia are husband and wife. You understand now, right?"
Chapter 273 Lamian angrily criticizes Teacher T.
Teresis was completely dumbfounded, because this relationship was truly a bit outrageous.
"If that's really the case, why would Lamian become a traitor and lead the Utopian army to attack her own homeland?"
Since we're all family, why fight and kill each other?
"Does Your Excellency take me for a fool?"
Teresis still didn't believe it, because logically he found it hard to believe.
However, the Banshee in front of her clearly did not intend to explain further. She got up and returned to the table to discuss with her fellow guards which cosmetics were more affordable and effective.
"What do you want to do next?"
"Of course, we want Princess Theresia to feel the Lord's love!"
The Banshee's casual remark undoubtedly stirred up a storm in Teresis's heart.
"Explain yourself! What does that guy want to do to my sister?!"
The Banshee stroked her chin and pondered for a moment, deciding to ask her boss through special means.
So she dialed the number directly, Lamian's gentle voice quickly came from the other end.
"Tell me the truth? Is there anyone else with His Highness Teresis?"
"His Highness has more than thirty roommates beside him, and there are thousands of personal guards imprisoned in several other camps."
Without much hesitation, the person on the other end of the phone spoke directly:
"Take Prince Teresis out alone. It's time for him to know the truth."
It's not a good idea to keep this a secret forever. We can't just wait until we're actually pregnant to tell him.
That will cause even more conflicts.
