As a queen who has lost her kingdom, I can see the comments section.

Because the carriage couldn't go up the mountain, the three of them went to the carriage, put all the bottles and jars that Ruth had prepared into a bag, and then carried it up the mountain together.

==========

Fog Crystal Mine Area.

Besides the mine shafts, many houses have been built here. The clean and tidy houses are where the people of Akti Kingdom live, while the dusty and gray houses are where the miners used to live.

The area where the miners lived is now deserted; not a single miner has chosen to stay. Everyone who could leave has left.

The soldiers of the Akti Kingdom gathered in the open space in front of the row of houses, sitting or standing and talking to each other, looking worried about the current situation.

Rita was naturally among the crowd.

As a high-ranking apostle, Rita held a very superior position. Even when people looked worried, they would still unconsciously show a hint of respect when their eyes swept over Rita.

"General, what should we do next?" someone asked.

Not long ago, the kingdom sent an order for them to release the miners, but there were no follow-up orders, and they didn't know what to do next.

The burly Rita sat in the chair, almost crushing it, and said in a deep voice, "What are you worried about? Our duty is to protect the mine. As long as there are no problems with the mine, there is nothing else to worry about. You should trust that the kingdom can handle all these matters."

Hearing Rita say this, everyone could only nod in agreement.

After Rita finished speaking, she lowered her head and began to think.

Compared to the other issues, she was more concerned about the man who had killed the kingdom's commanders and soldiers in many towns.

In Rita's mind, Eileen's image appeared.

Finding this person and eliminating him was what Rita really wanted to do. The only reason she came to the Mist Crystal Mine was because she thought Eileen would come here.

But she had been at the mist crystal mine for quite some time, and the other party had not yet appeared. Could it be that she had guessed wrong?

"No, that person's target was indeed the mine, but she didn't choose to attack directly; instead, she chose other methods. The recent deluge of rumors circulating about our country is mostly her doing."

Thinking of this, Rita clenched her fists.

If Eileen appeared in front of her, she would definitely take care of the other party decisively and not let them escape again!

==========

The summit of Wushan Mountain.

As Ruth poured large amounts of the corpse-melting potion into the lake, the ice on the entire lake melted, and the water flowed back and forth, creating ripples.

Seeing this, Amelia asked, "Ruth, will your potion cause any changes to the water? For example, will the corrosive properties of the potion remain in the lake?"

Ruth shook her head and said, "No, Your Majesty. Once the corpse-dissolving potion is in the water, its main corrosive effect will be washed away by the water and it will no longer be effective. So it's okay to swim in the water."

“I see.” Amelia nodded in understanding.

"Does Your Majesty require the water to produce a special effect? ​​If so, I can prepare additional poisons to inject into the lake, making the water here dangerous."

"There's no need to do that; it might expose you."

Amelia shook her head and refused.

If the plan to flood the mist crystal mine succeeds, the Kingdom of Akti will definitely investigate the area afterwards. If the people of the Kingdom of Akti find that there are toxins in the water, they will inevitably suspect Ruth, who is skilled in using poison, which is not what Amelia wants to see.

It's also worth mentioning that the fact that the corpse-melting potion prevents the water from freezing is only temporary. Under normal circumstances, it lasts for about half a month, provided that the water flow doesn't fluctuate too much during this process. If the water flow experiences strong fluctuations and erosion, this duration will be greatly reduced.

According to Ruth's assessment, if the lake at the top of Fog Mountain were to cascade down and flood the mine, the resulting changes in water flow would be so drastic that the water would not freeze for more than a few hours.

In other words, the surface of the lake that flooded the mine will freeze again in a few hours, leaving no loopholes for the Akti Kingdom to investigate.

"Eileen, let's begin." Amelia then looked at Eileen again.

Eileen nodded.

She had already chosen a suitable spot, and now she stood there, gripping her longsword "Crescent Moon" with both hands, her inner power beginning to surge.

Immediately afterwards, a hazy white light began to emanate from the longsword, gradually becoming denser over time.

Amelia and Ruth retreated behind Eileen to avoid being caught in the ensuing attack.

'A high-ranking apostle? She was a high-ranking apostle?'

Ruth's face showed surprise upon noticing the aura emanating from the sword in Eileen's hand.

Although she already knew that the person who could protect Amelia so closely must be extraordinary, the fact that the other party was an upper apostle still genuinely surprised her.

This is a high-ranking apostle!

Under Ruth's admiring gaze, the light emanating from the sword in Eileen's hand grew increasingly intense, transforming into a vast expanse of white that enveloped the surrounding environment in a white haze.

The sword that surges through the Milky Way!

When her power had accumulated enough, Eileen decisively swung her sword, causing the white sword light to surge out like a silver river, crashing into the ground beside the lake.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, the earth shattered on the spot, and fragments of rock flew out in all directions, scattering across the sky.

In the cracked earth, a silver river swept across the edge of the cliff, tearing the earth apart and crashing directly into the lake, splashing up towering waves. The sound of rushing water spread out densely, followed by raindrops falling down.

As the water droplets fell, the water in the lake also flowed through the torn gap, flowing directly to the edge of the cliff and falling downwards.

not enough!

Seeing this, Eileen knew that the gap between the lake and the cliff was not big enough to allow the lake to pour down. She had to create a larger area in this location.

She took a deep breath, stood on high ground, and the longsword in her hand once again emitted a white light.

==========

Fog Crystal Mine.

Rita took a roasted lamb leg from her subordinate and began to eat it with great relish.

After taking a big bite of the fragrant meat, Rita thought of Eileen again, and the idea of ​​her beating her up resurfaced.

Just then, a drop of water fell from the sky and landed on Rita's lamb leg, making Rita look up.

A hazy gray haze hung overhead, and everywhere was shrouded in the mist of the foggy mountains, making it impossible to see anything clearly.

"It's raining?"

Rita noticed some more water droplets falling, but didn't pay much attention to it.

Whether it's raining or snowing, it's just a natural phenomenon, nothing to worry about.

She continued eating the roasted lamb leg, finding it incredibly fragrant, and her mood immediately improved.

"Ouch, who threw a rock at me?"

Just then, an angry voice came from afar.

Rita looked up and saw a soldier some distance away clutching his head, which appeared to be bleeding, angrily questioning those around him about who had hit him.

He glanced at Rita and then looked away, not paying any attention to the matter.

But then another exclamation came.

"Bruno! Bruno!"

Rita looked up again when she heard several people calling out one person's name.

This time it was from another direction; it seemed someone had fallen to the ground, and several people were surrounding that person.

"What's going on?" Rita called out as she walked over.

As Rita approached, the people around her quickly moved aside.

"General, someone suddenly threw a stone and killed Bruno instantly," a soldier said uneasily.

"Someone was killed by a stone thrown at them?"

With a look of suspicion, Rita approached the soldier named Bruno and examined him. Upon seeing the dent in his head and the stone on it, her eyes narrowed slightly.

This was definitely not something that was thrown over there; the other soldiers did not have the strength to kill someone by simply smashing them with a stone.

This rock seems to have fallen from a great height, which is why it crushed the person to death.

Did a rock slide down from Fog Mountain?

Rita then looked at another soldier in a different spot, whose head had also been smashed by a rock and was bleeding profusely, but who was still able to jump around.

The other person was hit by a rock but was unharmed. Is it because the rock that hit the other person fell from a lower position?

As Rita was having one thought after another, a series of crackling sounds came from all around, accompanied by exclamations from many soldiers.

"What's going on? Why are so many rocks falling down?"

"Quick, quick, find a place to hide."

"Ah... my head, my head!"

Chaos quickly erupted around them.

Rita put down her roasted lamb leg and looked up at the sky. She saw a rock approaching her and slightly turned to avoid it. The rock hit the spot where she had been standing, creating a small crater.

Besides stones, there was also a lot of water falling from the sky, just like a heavy rain. But why were there stones mixed in with the rain?

Rita had no idea what was going on, but a bad feeling crept into her heart. She quickly went to the weapon rack she had placed to the side and picked up her pair of pumpkin hammers.

"Boom!"

Then a rumbling sound came from another direction.

Rita quickly looked up and saw that a large amount of water was pouring down from the sky, like a waterfall attack, and it instantly washed away a house.

What exactly happened here?

Rita felt a sense of dread. She looked up at the sky and saw large amounts of water and rocks falling, turning the mining area into a mess in a short time.

Suddenly Rita's gaze sharpened.

"This...this is..."

Above, the dense fog was abruptly dispersed, and then even more water poured down from the sky, as if an ocean had been inverted and was falling wildly with the pull of gravity.

This is an attack that cannot be avoided at all!

"boom!"

Water poured down, instantly submerging the entire mining area.
