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

After confirming her location, Eileen looked at Amelia beside her, only to meet Amelia's eyes, which she had secretly opened.

"Just keep pretending to be unconscious," Amelia whispered.

Eileen nodded.

At that moment, as Kunna was walking outside with a heavy heart, she suddenly seemed to sense something and looked up at the sky.

"Is it snowing again?"

Kunna murmured.

It had been many days since the last snowfall, and Kunna did not expect it to snow again at this time. Under the gray sky, the snowflakes fluttered down like goose feathers and fell into the valley.

Kunna looked away and didn't say anything more.

She led her people back to the camp deep in the valley. The camp looked rather simple, having been temporarily built against the mountainside. Although simple, it still provided some warmth.

Upon entering the camp, Amelia noticed that the carriage had stopped at a certain location, and then she heard Kunna's voice outside.

"Let me know if these two maids wake up."

"Yes, Commander."

Hearing the footsteps fading away outside, Amelia peeked around through a crack in her eyes.

She and Eileen remained inside the carriage. It seemed the people of the Kingdom of Bagus did not intend to confine them in any of the other rooms, which was not surprising, given the limited number of rooms available. However, this situation still made Amelia sigh inwardly.

She had been thinking that all the hostages could be kept together, so that she could rescue them all at once. But now she obviously couldn't act rashly and had to find out the location of the other hostages first.

'Someone's here?'

Sensing approaching footsteps, Amelia immediately closed her eyes.

Then she heard the sound of the carriage curtain being lifted. It seemed that someone had looked at her and Eileen from outside, but did nothing. After confirming that they were still unconscious, the person lowered the curtain and left.

'This is probably just them checking intermittently to see if Eileen and I are awake.'

After the other person left, Amelia instinctively tried to get up, but the ropes binding her restricted her movements.

As a mid-level apostle, Amelia could easily break free of these ropes if she wanted to, but now was not the time to expose herself, so she could only continue to lie in the carriage bound by the ropes.

Eileen was lying right next to her.

She looked at Amelia, waiting for Amelia to give her orders.

Amelia understood Eileen's meaning and whispered, "Don't make a sound, and don't untie the ropes. Try to see what's outside the car window and see where we are."

Eileen nodded.

Although she was bound, she was still very flexible. She twisted her body and sat up, then leaned to the car window to peek at the situation outside before reporting it to Amelia, so that Amelia could also know what was happening outside.

There are many rooms outside, but it is unknown which one is where the hostages are being held.

Furthermore, it is certain that their location was in a corner of the camp, a relatively secluded spot.

"What should I do?" Amelia muttered to herself, glancing at the comments section.

She tried to get inspiration from the bullet comments.

At this moment, the audience did send out their various thoughts through the bullet comments. Some were serious, while others were unreliable. After watching for a while, Amelia had a better understanding of the situation.

Inside a room.

Kunna and Hogan were discussing what to do next when a voice came from inside the room: "You two seem a little anxious."

Upon hearing the sudden sound from inside the house, Kunna and Hogan's expressions changed, and they instinctively looked in the direction from which the sound came.

In the center of the room, a figure was standing, and it was unclear when he had entered the room.

This was a tall, slender man who looked to be around thirty or forty years old. He was wearing leather armor, had a sword at his waist, and had medium-length blond hair tied into a small braid that hung down from behind his helmet.

When she saw who it was, Kunna breathed a sigh of relief: "General Buck."

This man was none other than the Bago Kingdom general they had been waiting for, Buck Huggins!

Hogan recognized Buck, but he wasn't as relaxed as Kunna, and remained tense as he looked at the high-ranking apostle.

“General Buck, aren’t you supposed to arrive tomorrow?” Kunna asked again, puzzled.

"That was originally the plan, but I was worried that something might happen here, so I decided to leave the rest of us behind and come over early. The rest of us will arrive tomorrow," Bakla said slowly as he pulled up a chair and sat down.

Kunna immediately understood that Buck had come alone.

“It seems something has happened here? Tell me about it,” Buck said, glancing at Kunna and Hogan.

"It's like this..."

Kunna didn't hide anything and told Buck everything that had happened.

When Buck realized what had happened, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and his change in expression made Kunna and Hogan's hearts jump.

“It seems I’m still a step too late. I’m very disappointed, truly disappointed.” Buck’s gaze swept over the two men. “Under these circumstances, our original trap is undoubtedly useless. So tell me, what method should I use to deal with Lord Ruth next?”

Kunna lowered her head, not daring to speak.

Hogan, seeing the gaze sweep over him, had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "With General Buck's strength, perhaps he could assassinate him."

Buck gave Hogan a cold look: "You're really 'clever' to come up with such a simple and crude method. Do you think that as the kingdom's general, I'm actually quite idle and can waste enough time in Star River Territory?"

Hogan didn't dare to speak.

Recently, the conflict between the three kingdoms in the Chaotic Realm has intensified. The reason for this is that Rita, the general of the Akti Kingdom, was murdered, and the murderer is unknown.

That was a high-ranking apostle. How could the Kingdom of Akti turn a blind eye to the death of such a being? The Kingdom of Akti is now frantically investigating the truth and also has great suspicions about the Kingdom of Bagus and the Kingdom of Beren.

Therefore, Buck usually needs to be stationed in some important places occupied by the Kingdom of Bagus to prevent anyone from sneaking in and causing trouble. In fact, while he was stationed in these important places, he also caught some troublemakers who tried to sneak in.

He is very busy.

According to the plan, he would have someone impersonate him and oversee the important location, while he would quickly come over to resolve the matter and return to the important location as soon as possible. The total time he spent in Xinghe Territory should not have exceeded one day.

But now the situation has changed.

If he wanted to get rid of Ruth before spring, it seemed that his only option was to assassinate her, but this would definitely take longer than he expected, so he was somewhat annoyed.

So why not assassinate Rose, and instead save her for spring so that a large army can come and solve the problem?

This is actually not suitable either.

The Kingdom of Akti has been in a state of chaos lately. In addition, various criminal organizations, bandit groups, and adventure groups are causing trouble. No one knows what the chaotic realm will be like in two months. Therefore, it is best to complete some things as soon as possible. This is why the kingdom still sent him to Star River Territory despite his busy schedule.

'Now that I'm here, my only option is to assassinate the Lord of the Star River Territory.'

Buck thought to himself.

==========

Night had fallen, and snowflakes were drifting down, landing in the valley.

The houses and carriages were all tinged with a snowy white hue.

Inside the carriage, Amelia's expression turned serious.

She was looking at the comments section, hoping to see if the viewers could offer any useful ideas, but as she watched, the comments changed because the viewer's screen shifted to another location.

They moved to Hogan and Kunna's side.

At the same time, a new character also appeared.

Buck Hudgens!

[A high-ranking apostle has arrived? This is getting a bit troublesome.]

If there were no hostages, none of the problems would be problems, and they would still be easy to handle. But...emmm, there are hostages, after all.

[Rescuing people under these circumstances is inconvenient. Should we abandon the Harvest Adventurer Team?]

Whether those people will ultimately become one of us is uncertain, but to simply abandon them... I don't think Amelia would do that.

[At this point, Buck and his group are all together. How about we take them all out at once? Eileen should be able to do that, right? It'll prevent them from threatening us with hostages.]

Don't forget the ordinary soldiers; they can also take hostages.

Looking at the comments, Amelia pondered what to do.

The current situation is undoubtedly somewhat troublesome; the arrival of the higher apostles has directly disrupted her plans.

She couldn't directly confront the high-ranking apostle with Eileen because the other soldiers could take hostages. Nor could she rescue the hostages first, as there were too many for her and Eileen alone to protect.

After racking her brains for a while, Amelia gradually calmed down.

'Not everything in this world can be perfect. Once it's determined that things can't be done perfectly, then we must choose the most suitable method.'

Amelia had already made her decision.

She looked at Eileen, who had been staring at her, and said softly, "Eileen, let's split up from now on."

"Splitting up?" Eileen asked, a little worried.

“Listen to me,” Amelia said softly. “The people of the Kingdom of Bagus want to interrogate us after we wake up, right? I’ll continue to pretend to be unconscious, and you’ll pretend to be awake. Then they should take you for interrogation. You should see some of their highest-ranking people.”

Eileen realized: "Should I take this opportunity to kill them all?"

Amelia pursed her lips and said, "Don't rush to make a move. First, determine who has the highest status among them, and then launch a sneak attack on that person. If the sneak attack succeeds, great. If it fails, then try to lure them away. Once you unleash your full power, everyone's attention will at least be on you for the time being."

Eileen was puzzled: "Does Your Majesty believe they have a superior apostle?"

Amelia didn't tell the truth: "I'm not sure about that, but we need to prepare for the worst. If not, Eileen, you can just go around killing people."

Eileen nodded upon hearing this.

"Then let's begin."

Amelia took a deep breath and lay down on the ground, pretending to be unconscious.

Eileen, on the other hand, made a commotion.

When there was movement inside the carriage, soldiers immediately opened the carriage compartments to take a look inside.

"One of you've woken up? Well then, you'd better come over here obediently."

Outside the carriage, the rough soldiers grabbed Eileen by the ropes binding her and pulled her out of the carriage.

After Eileen was pulled out, Amelia heard voices outside: "One of them has woken up. I'll take her to the Commander. You two keep a close eye on the other one."

"I see."
