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

The so-called Redeemer Alliance is a force established by various apostles in the chaotic realm after the fall of the Kingdom of Steel. They come from all over the world and have had all sorts of identities: officials of the kingdom, adventurers of adventure groups, members of merchant guilds, gladiators in the arena, bards...

"This group has banded together for self-preservation and is currently in the Star River Territory. If we can win them over, we can gain a lot of Apostle power. Their leader is even a mid-level Apostle."

"sounds good."

When Amelia listened to Ruth's introduction of the Redeemers Alliance, she also looked at the comments and found that the viewers didn't seem to have heard of the organization.

Did the Redeemers League get wiped out quickly in the original storyline?

Next, Ruth introduced the Harvest Adventure Team.

This is an adventure team, but a rather powerful one. Moreover, the members of the team have a rather unique background, as they are all composed of goblins.

"Goblin?" Amelia was somewhat surprised.

“Yes, goblins.” Ruth nodded and continued, “These goblins are apostles who worship the Throne of Earth, and their strength is quite good. They came to the relatively peaceful Star River Territory to escape the chaos in various parts of the Chaotic Realm.”

"Do they also have mid-level apostles?" Amelia asked.

"No, their leader is only a lower-level apostle, but the abilities they possess are quite unique."

"They worship the Throne of the Earth, right? I remember the Throne of the Earth grants people the ability to nurture the earth and life?"

Amelia pondered for a moment.

She had never encountered any beings who believed in the throne of the earth before, so she wasn't very familiar with them.

Ruth nodded and said, "That's right, the Throne of Faith controls these powers. And the goblins of the Harvest Adventurers control more of the ability to nurture life, which is also very important to us."

"Is it because of food issues?" Amelia understood somewhat.

“Yes, it is indeed a problem with food.” Ruth said with some helplessness, “With the increasing chaos in the Chaotic Realm, it is difficult for us to buy food from outside. All our food needs to be produced within our territory, but our territory is not a dedicated food-producing area. The food we have accumulated may not last long.”

Amelia nodded in understanding.

She has already sent someone to notify Verna of the Principality of Luban to send her supplies. She believes the supplies will arrive in a short time, which will alleviate the dire situation in the Star River Territory.

Ruth, unaware of this, continued, "Goblins who master life cultivation are highly efficient at growing crops. They can cultivate crops and harvest them even in heavy snow. If they are willing to help our territory grow crops, it will undoubtedly reduce many of the problems we face."

Life cultivation plays a good role in food production, but this ability path involves more than just food production.

Amelia nodded and said, "I understand the situation. The Redeemer Alliance and the Harvest Adventurers are the forces we need to win over, right? Besides them, are there any other obvious forces?"

“There are quite a few forces that don’t belong to the Star River Territory, but none of the other forces are as important as the Redeemer Alliance and the Harvest Adventurers,” Ruth replied.

“Then let’s win over the Redeemer Alliance and the Harvest Adventurers first. After we finish negotiating with these two forces, we can then turn our attention to the other forces.” Amelia finalized her next plan.

Next, Ruth summoned the butler, Sampson, and relayed her orders.

She dispersed most of her forces to various towns to find people who might cause trouble for the Phantom Festival, while the rest of her people scouted out the locations of the Redeemers and the Harvest Adventurers, intending to make contact with them.

The location of the Redeemers Alliance was quickly found out; it was in Morington City.

After understanding the situation, Ruth returned to Amelia and explained the matter.

“Then let’s go and make contact with this Redeemer Alliance. Let’s go together.” Amelia also wanted to see what was going on.

The three of them left the hotel shortly afterward.

Outside the inn, Knight Commander Wilbur, who had been ordered by Ruth to come to Morington to handle matters related to the Phantom Festival, had been summoned back.

Ruth will personally take charge of the situation in Morington City from now on, so Wilbur naturally doesn't need to do anything anymore. As a lower-ranking apostle, he returns to Ruth's side to protect her safety.

Although Ruth is a mid-level apostle, her abilities are all in poison making, and she does not have combat power herself, so she naturally needs protection.

Besides Wilbur, there were many other non-Apostle guards who followed them.

The group then proceeded in the carriage.

The carriages were normal horse-drawn carriages, not sleds. After all, this was Morington City, and sleds were too fast on snow. They were more suitable for traveling in flat fields. If sleds were used in the complex terrain of the city, it would be easy to accidentally crash into something.

After getting into the carriage, Amelia and the others slowly traveled through Morington.

Ruth looked somewhat uneasy. Although she was a lord with a very high status, and even the Redeemer Alliance members usually had to bow their heads when they saw her, these were extraordinary times, and Star River Territory needed help from others. She was worried that she would be rejected.

“Miss Lily, can we successfully win them over? If they know they are going to fight against the Kingdom of Bagus, will they choose to help us?” Ruth couldn’t help but ask.

"Ruth, don't overthink it before you've even met them. Let's wait until we've met them before making any decisions," Amelia said, shaking her head calmly.

It wasn't that she wasn't worried about the future of Star River Territory, but with Eileen by her side, she always felt at ease.

No matter what difficulties we face, we can overcome them!

The message from the comments in Chapter 135

Seeing Amelia's composure, Ruth secretly admired her, thinking that she was indeed Her Majesty the Queen, able to face such a situation with equanimity. Compared to her, her own composure was far from sufficient.

They soon arrived at their destination.

This was a quiet alley. After the carriage stopped in the alley, Amelia and the other two got off and stepped onto the thick snow.

Next to the alley was a simple house with a courtyard.

"Is this where the Redeemers stay?" Amelia looked at the room in front of her with some curiosity.

Isn't this too ordinary?

The Redeemers should have many Apostles, right? Under such circumstances, why would a group of people huddle together in such an ordinary and inconspicuous place?

"That's true according to what I understand. However, their base isn't just this house in front of us; they've bought the other houses on either side as well," Ruth explained.

"I see. So, do you know what the Redeemers do on a regular basis?"

"They don't seem to have done anything special."

"So many apostles just sitting together doing nothing? What is their source of income?"

"I don't know anything about that; I haven't studied them in depth."

"Never mind then, let's try to get in touch with them first."

Amelia didn't pry too much; she figured she could always find out by meeting people.

Ruth immediately gave Wilbur a look, and the tall knight in black armor walked to the front of the house and rang the doorbell.

Shortly after, the door to the house opened, and an ordinary-looking man appeared in the doorway, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.

When he saw Ruth, the man's expression changed, clearly recognizing Ruth as the lord of the Star River Territory.

“Good afternoon, sir.” Ruth stepped forward and said, “I am Ruth Morington, the lord of Star River Territory. You should have heard of me. I have some matters I would like to discuss with the Redeemer Alliance.”

"You've come to see the Redeemer Alliance? What do you want?" The man seemed somewhat cautious.

"Don't be nervous, we've come with good intentions and won't cause any trouble for the Redeemers," Ruth said with a smile, appearing kind and approachable.

Seeing that the man seemed to relax a bit, he said, "Then you wait here for a moment, I'll go and inform them."

After saying that, the man didn't wait for Ruth to say anything more, and simply closed the door and went back inside.

Ruth was a little embarrassed.

She was the lord of the Star River Territory, but it was clear that the man from earlier didn't take her, a lord, seriously.

'Don't worry about such things, Ruth, you're here for help, so be more open-minded.'

Ruth thought to herself.

Fortunately, they didn't have to wait too long before the door was opened again.

A man dressed in a black robe, with slicked-back hair that was shiny and oily, and a rather square face, appeared.

"Good afternoon, Lord." The man said with a smile, "What brings you here, Lord? By the way, I am the vice leader of the Redeemer Alliance. You can just call me Howard."

Howard?

Ruth thought for a moment and remembered that this was indeed someone from the Redeemer Alliance, and that he even had the rank of a Lower Apostle.

Thinking of this, Ruth smiled and said, "Mr. Howard, our Star River Territory actually wants to establish a cooperative relationship with the Redeemer Alliance. I wonder if we could discuss this in more detail?"

"That's certainly possible. Please come in, gentlemen."

Howard gestured for them to join in, while his gaze swept over Wilbur, Amelia, and Irene, treating them all as Ruth's followers.

The group then entered the courtyard.

Once inside, everyone realized that the place wasn't as quiet as it appeared from the outside.

At that moment, some simply dressed people were cleaning various parts of the house. Those who weren't cleaning were sitting together reading books.

Howard entered and said loudly, "Everyone, go back to your rooms and read. Don't disturb the guests."

Upon hearing Howard's words, the readers got up and left, and the cleaners stopped cleaning and turned to leave.

“Mr. Howard, this is…” Ruth looked at the scene with some confusion.

Howard turned around, sighed, and said, “My lord, you know the situation in the Chaotic Realm. Ordinary people are living in dire straits. People often become homeless and starving due to environmental factors. Our Redeemer Alliance is not only about redeeming ourselves, but also about extending a helping hand to those who are struggling. That’s why we have taken in many people.”

Ruth's eyes immediately lit up with admiration.

Howard continued, "If we simply give them handouts, even their self-esteem will be hurt, so I will have them do some simple tasks, like cleaning. I will also have them read books to broaden their knowledge in various fields."

Ruth couldn't help but exclaim, "I never imagined the Redeemers had done so much behind the scenes. I truly admire them."

"It's what we should do," Howard said modestly.

As they spoke, they had already sat down in front of the sofa.

Howard sat to one side, Ruth and Amelia sat on the sofa opposite, and the rest of the people stood.

Seeing that Amelia had sat down with Ruth, Howard couldn't help but take another look: "And this is...?"

“This is my friend, Miss Lily,” Ruth introduced simply.

Upon hearing this, Howard didn't ask any further questions. He felt that Amelia might be related to Ruth or something, since they both had golden hair, although there were some differences in color.

Ruth then asked, "I wonder if your leader is here?"

Howard shook his head and said, "The chief is not here right now, so I have to discuss matters with the lord myself."

"It's alright, Mr. Howard. As the vice leader of the Redeemer Alliance, I'm sure it's no problem to discuss matters with you," Ruth said with a smile.

The two then discussed the collaboration.

Amelia watched silently, her gaze constantly sweeping across the comments section, her aquamarine eyes flashing occasionally. From the moment Howard's name was mentioned, the comments increased slightly, as if many people had heard of that name before.

Howard... Howard, does this name sound familiar to everyone?
