"I see."
"Your Majesty, I will be your opponent."
"No problem."
There were only the two of them in this place, and Amelia knew that she could only spar with Eileen.
She immediately walked towards an open space not far away, and snowflakes fell, landing on her hair and her dress.
Amelia didn't care. If the environment was a little harsher than usual, it wouldn't be a bad thing for training. A harsh environment would make the training more effective.
Eileen also came over.
She picked up a tree branch, tested its sturdiness, and then used it as her weapon.
"Come, Your Majesty."
Eileen looked at Amelia and said.
Amelia glanced at the branch in Eileen's hand, but she didn't think Eileen was underestimating her. After all, it was Eileen, and even with the branch, she wouldn't be a match for her.
However, just before Amelia was about to make her move, Eileen seemed to have thought of something and said, "By the way, Your Majesty, should we consider some punishments for failure this time?"
Penalties for failure?
Upon hearing Eileen's words, Amelia immediately recalled the time Eileen had spanked her, and her face flushed red.
"Eileen, why are you suddenly bringing this up? Do you want to establish a penalty for failure?"
"That's not what I meant. It's just that His Majesty said last time that you need a goal to motivate yourself when you're training. Otherwise, it's hard to train wholeheartedly. That's why I asked."
"It's true that having a goal can motivate you to do something, but this time there's no need for the punishment of failure, because I already have the motivation."
Amelia glanced at the overcast sky in the distance and said softly, "You should understand what motivates me. To achieve that, I need greater strength, which is far from sufficient for a mid-level apostle."
“I understand.” Eileen had already understood what Amelia meant.
"Now that you understand, I'm going to get started."
"Your Majesty, please come down."
Eileen was ready.
Wind God Dance Steps!
Amelia, as if riding the wind, rushed directly towards Eileen with her petite body, her long, slightly wavy, light golden hair fluttering with her movements.
Eileen remained rooted to the spot, not moving.
Amelia stood before Eileen and swung her bow at her.
Although it seems like a simple and straightforward move, it actually contains many variations and can be adjusted according to the opponent's move.
Upon seeing the incoming attack, Eileen immediately swung the branch in her hand upwards, attempting to deflect Amelia's bow.
Seeing this, Amelia instinctively used a transformation, flipping the silver bow in her hand, intending to cut the tree branch directly with the bowstring. When performing archery, the bowstring becomes as sharp as a blade.
Just as Amelia was making her move, Eileen almost simultaneously changed her attack as well. Her attack, which was coming from below, was slightly tilted upwards, with the tip of the branch reaching up first, bypassing the bowstring attack and directly hitting the bowstring. She knocked the bow out of Amelia's hand on the spot.
Amelia was taken aback.
She looked to the side and saw that the silver bow, after being knocked away, spun in the air and fell to the ground with a thud.
"Eileen, didn't you give way to me?" Amelia pouted.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, but I... but I've suppressed my strength to the level of a mid-level Apostle," Eileen said innocently.
Amelia: "..."
Eileen possesses extremely sophisticated combat experience, far surpassing that of Amelia.
Moreover, as a high-ranking apostle, Eileen possesses astonishing physical qualities in all aspects, including her keen observation skills. When Amelia made her move, she easily predicted how Amelia's subsequent attacks would change.
“Your Majesty, actually, my attack from below was designed to lure you into using your bowstring to cut the tree branch as a countermeasure. Once I successfully induced your response, I was prepared and could easily change my subsequent attack, which is why I was able to knock your bow away,” Eileen explained to Amelia.
"I understand, then let's continue."
Amelia retrieved her bow.
She wasn't really blaming Eileen for not giving in to her; she was just saying it casually. Now, after hearing what Eileen said, she understood where the problem lay.
His attacks were too simple and easy to understand; the moment he made a move, everyone knew what kind of changes he would make, thus giving his opponents a pre-emptive countermeasure.
So what I need to do is make the changes in my attacks less obvious. To do that, I need to make my attacks more varied at any time. Only by having more variations can I calmly deal with different situations.
After figuring things out in her mind, Amelia clashed with Eileen again.
This time, Eileen didn't knock Amelia's bow away again; she simply blocked all of Amelia's attacks with ease, appearing completely at ease.
After a while, Amelia discovered another problem.
That means your brain can keep up, but your hands can't.
The brain can quickly provide a scenario that gives her a sense of "I understand," but once she tries to do it, her hands will tell her "No, you don't understand."
Under these circumstances, Amelia and Irene became a little flustered as they practiced.
Eileen could also see Amelia's problem. Seeing this, she said while parrying the attack, "Your Majesty, there is no need to be in such a hurry. Training is something that requires long-term persistence. If you are too anxious, you will only achieve half the result with twice the effort. So Your Majesty, please relax."
"I see."
Amelia took two steps back, took a deep breath to steady herself, and then charged forward again to confront Eileen.
The two continued their attack amidst the swirling snowflakes, the occasional clanging sounds echoing far and wide across the open space.
The horses nearby were still sleeping peacefully, undisturbed by their collision.
Amelia and Eileen practiced for quite a long time, only stopping at noon to eat something to fill their stomachs, and then spending some time meditating after that. After meditating for half an hour, they resumed their practice in the afternoon.
A day's training won't result in much growth for an apostle, or even be noticeable, but that's assuming the other apostles do as well.
Amelia was different. Perhaps it was the divine blood within her that was having an effect, but after several hours of training, Amelia became increasingly composed in battle.
The brain thinks, "This is what I should do now, and that is what I should do later..." and the hands and feet finally follow suit.
This sparring session lasted until evening.
Amelia and Eileen stopped when the sky began to turn dusky.
Amelia looked up at the sky, where snowflakes continued to fall all day without stopping. In the shimmering twilight, the snowflakes looked as if they were falling from a lake.
There was already a noticeable layer of snow on the ground, stretching to the horizon.
Amelia sighed, "This snow is much heavier than I expected. It's only early winter, and I thought it wouldn't last long."
Eileen came to Amelia's side: "Your Majesty, there is a lot of snow on your head."
“It’s alright, Eileen, aren’t you the same?” Amelia glanced at Eileen and couldn’t help but laugh as she said, “But Eileen, your hair is naturally silver-white, so the snow falling on your head isn’t as noticeable.”
Eileen shook her head, letting the snow fall off.
“Let’s go, our horse is awake and looking at us. Let’s feed it some food first, and then we’ll continue on our way,” Amelia said, looking at the horses not far away.
Eileen nodded.
They fed the horses some of the prepared hay, and then urged them to continue on their way.
Under these circumstances, they finally arrived at the outskirts of a small town before nightfall.
Sitting in the carriage, Amelia looked up at the outline of the town that appeared ahead, and information about the town surfaced in her mind: "This is Bell Town. It should be under the control of the Akti Kingdom, just like Rhine City. After all, it's not far from Rhine City, so it's easier for the Akti Kingdom to control this place than the other two kingdoms."
“The Kingdom of Akti? So, perhaps the same things that happened in Rhine City are happening here as well.” Eileen immediately understood.
“That’s right.” Amelia nodded. “Eileen, let’s go directly to the people of the Akti Kingdom in this town and deal with them all.”
"No problem."
After learning that this place was controlled by the Kingdom of Akti, Eileen already understood what Amelia would do.
In order to capture the miners, the Akti Kingdom will not let any of the towns under its control go unpunished; wherever the Akti Kingdom controls, there is bound to be a problem.
After making her decision, Amelia went back into the carriage and lowered the curtain.
Eileen drove the carriage in this way, quietly entering the town of Bell.
The two then inquired a little about the situation in Bell Town. Soon they learned that the town was under the control of an army from the Kingdom of Akti, and the leader was a captain in the army, who was at most a lower-ranking apostle.
However, a lower-ranking apostle is more than capable of leading an army to control a small town, but when faced with Amelia and Irene, the strength of a lower-ranking apostle will appear particularly pale and powerless.
After capturing the lower-ranking apostle, Amelia interrogated him briefly and learned the rest of the situation in Bell Town from him, such as where the people who had been captured and were to be transported to mine were being held, and the location of the Iris Flower members in the city.
After understanding the situation, what followed was a bloody massacre.
Everyone involved in the capture and mining operation was silently eliminated by Amelia and Eileen under the cover of night; no one could escape their fate.
After eliminating those who deserved to die, the people who had been captured were naturally released.
After completing these tasks, Amelia and Eileen did not linger in Bell Town. That night, they boarded a carriage and left again, continuing their journey southeast.
Once they leave, Bell Town will undoubtedly be thrown into chaos just like Rhine City.
==========
Many days have passed by in the blink of an eye.
12 month 15 day.
The heavy snow in the north had been falling intermittently for many days, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of snow. The cold wind blew across the northern land, like the roar of a giant beast, echoing endlessly between heaven and earth.
Several days have passed, and Amelia and Eileen are about to arrive in Star River Territory.
During their journey, they often sparred along the way. After many days of practice, Amelia gained a better understanding of her archery skills and her melee combat prowess improved significantly.
In addition, they passed through many towns controlled by the Akti Kingdom, killing those who deserved to die and releasing those who had been captured in each place, causing quite a stir in many towns.
In the chaotic realm, news of the Akti Kingdom's abductions has spread widely. Although the general public is unaware of the Akti Kingdom's purpose, various suspicions and criticisms of the Akti Kingdom have also emerged.
The Akti Kingdom naturally wouldn't ignore this, and has already taken measures to deal with the matter.
Chapter 121 General
The snow fell heavily, carried by the wind, covering the entire city in a silvery white blanket.
In the city mansion, blood stained the white snow, creating a poignant and tragic scene.
Rita Ricardo led her group through the mansion, examining the numerous corpses lying on the ground and determining the cause of death.
