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

She was a woman, but she had a rather burly figure and no feminine beauty whatsoever. Her face was covered in pockmarks, and her brown hair was messy. No matter how you looked at her, she was a rather frightening person.

But her presence here brought a sense of security to many soldiers of the nearby Akti Kingdom.

Because she was a general in the Kingdom of Akti!

In the Kingdom of Akti, to become a general, one undoubtedly needs the rank of a High Apostle, and Rita is indeed a High Apostle!

In the past few days, many towns under the jurisdiction of the Akti Kingdom have experienced problems, and many apostles have died. This has attracted the attention of the Akti Kingdom, and Rita was sent out specifically to investigate this matter.

Rita was also very cautious about this matter, because among the dead were quite a few mid-level apostles, so she had reason to suspect that the one who secretly attacked the Kingdom of Akti was a high-level apostle, but who exactly was that person?

The rank of High Apostle is not something anyone can achieve. Generally speaking, someone who can hold the rank of High Apostle should be able to live comfortably anywhere, and is by no means an unknown person.

"General, what should we do next?"

At this moment, someone asked Rita a question.

The people of the Akti Kingdom in this city have been dealt with, but judging from the condition of the corpses, they haven't been dead for long. This means that the killer shouldn't have gone too far. If we chase after them now, we might be able to catch up.

But which direction should we pursue?

Rita made a decision quickly, a somewhat ferocious smile appearing on her pockmarked face as she said, "We're going to Fay Town next."

In Rita's view, the killer's route was traceable. Starting from Rhine City, he had been moving in a southeast direction, so he would most likely continue in that direction. The next town in that direction that belongs to the Akti Kingdom is Fai Town.

Go there, and you might find the murderer.

'After committing the murders, the killer also released those captured by the kingdom to work in the mines. This suggests the killer might have some knowledge of the mist crystal veins. The veins are extremely important to the kingdom and must not be leaked by the killer. The killer must be found as soon as possible.'

After a thought flashed through Rita's mind, she quickly left the city with her many subordinates, heading southeast.

==========

The snow is getting heavier.

The mountains and forests, lakes and rivers were all stained with a deep white.

The carriage had to slow down under these conditions, and it took Amelia and Eileen longer than expected to arrive in Fay Town.

“This is the last target.” Amelia said, looking at the town in front of her. “Once we’ve dealt with the situation here, we can head to Star River Territory. I wonder if Harold and the others have arrived in Star River Territory yet.”

“They set off a day earlier than us, but they probably haven’t arrived yet,” Eileen judged based on her experience.

After all, Harold's group was quite large and carried a lot of things, so they couldn't travel quickly.

“So, it seems we might even catch up later, if we don’t encounter any unexpected events along the way,” Amelia said, glancing at the distant town.

“Your Majesty, we must still be careful. Unexpected events could happen at any time.” Eileen’s expression was very serious: “We have already caused the Akti Kingdom a lot of trouble. They cannot remain indifferent to this and will definitely take some measures to deal with it.”

Amelia nodded: "You're right."

As they talked, the two drove their carriage into the town of Fay.

The town was covered in white snow, and the cold air swept through the wide but deserted streets.

Perhaps because of the cold weather, most people were unwilling to go out and preferred to stay at home to keep warm by making a fire. As a result, the streets of Fay Town were very quiet. Occasionally, you could see shops that were open, but there were no customers.

The carriage moved through the streets of Fay Town and soon arrived at the Fay Town garrison camp.

This place is now occupied by the Kingdom of Akti, and soldiers from the Kingdom of Akti are stationed here. Normally, the soldiers are scattered throughout the town of Fei to maintain order.

Today was no exception; most of the soldiers had dispersed, with only a few remaining here.

After Amelia and Irene approached, they parked the carriage in an inconspicuous corner and then walked towards the garrison camp through the heavy snow.

==========

Rita has arrived in Fay Town.

She wasn't alone; many others followed her, including four mid-level apostles and ten lower-level apostles. Each of them possessed different abilities and could provide her with considerable assistance. This gave her confidence in winning even against the other upper-level apostles.

Upon arriving in Fay Town, Rita and the others rode their horses straight to the garrison camp.

They were moving very fast, but when they arrived at the garrison camp, they found they were still a step too late.

"The smell of blood."

Upon arriving outside the garrison camp, Rita sniffed the air, and her face immediately darkened.

I'm late.

but……

Rita looked southeast, where a carriage was disappearing on the horizon.

A carriage appearing at this time and place is bound to arouse suspicion.

"Chase after them!"

Rita shouted in a loud voice and rode off on her horse.

==========

After dealing with yet another person who needed to be dealt with, Amelia sat in the carriage, preparing to head to the next destination.

Next, they could head directly to Star River Territory, but before that, they planned to visit the location of the Mist Crystal Mine to see if there was any opportunity to do something there.

Having dealt with so many people from the Kingdom of Akti, Amelia naturally already knew what kind of mineral vein the Kingdom of Akti had discovered, and also knew its location.

However, such a place would undoubtedly be of great importance to the Kingdom of Akti, and it is unknown how much power the Kingdom of Akti has deployed there. If we were to rashly attack that place, even with Eileen's help, we might not be able to gain the upper hand.

So Amelia's goal was clear: she planned to go there and see what was going on. As for what to do next, she would have to wait until she saw the situation before she could decide.

Just as Amelia was thinking about what to do next, the barrage of comments in front of her suddenly became denser.

Her attention immediately shifted to the bullet comments. She quickly scanned several comments and immediately knew that the audience's view had shifted to another location.

[Isn't that Rita? She's still so recognizable.]

A new young lady has appeared! Whose wife is she? Everyone can express their feelings without worry.

You should keep this girl for yourself.

My heart belongs only to Amelia and Irene; don't talk to me about anyone else.

[Is Rita chasing after Amelia and Irene? This girl is a High Apostle, and a rather powerful one at that; she's not someone to be trifled with.]

Seeing the numerous comments on the screen, Amelia's expression immediately turned serious.

Is someone chasing us?

She turned around and slightly opened the rear window of the carriage to look outside. She saw that a dozen people were riding tall horses and chasing after her. The leader was a woman with an exceptionally robust figure, almost unrecognizable as a woman, but her figure also made her look particularly intimidating.

Is this Rita?

Are they from the Kingdom of Akti?

Amelia understood immediately and said to Eileen, who was driving the carriage, "Eileen, someone is chasing us from behind. They're coming in a fierce manner, and they're probably from the Kingdom of Akti."

"Your Majesty, should we turn around and deal with them?" Eileen asked.

“Be careful, Eileen,” Amelia said cautiously. “We’ve already dealt with several mid-level apostles along the way. The Kingdom of Akti won’t ignore this kind of information. Since they still dare to send people to chase us, their strength must be considerable. We need to be careful.”

“But Your Majesty, if we ignore them, we’ll be caught up sooner or later. The carriage isn’t as fast as a horse,” Eileen said, glancing behind her.

“In that case… well, let’s deal with it for a bit. If things get too difficult, we’ll kill their horses and get away.” Amelia thought for a moment and quickly made a decision.

After making her decision, Amelia rummaged through her bag, took out hair dye, and quickly dyed her hair a light blue color, just in case.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves from behind became more distinct and was rapidly approaching.

“The carriage ahead, stop! We are from the Kingdom of Akti. Stop immediately and be interrogated.”

A loud, gruff voice came from behind.

The carriage, of course, would not stop.

Amelia took over the driver's seat and started driving the carriage from Eileen, who picked up her silver-white longsword "Crescent Moon" and jumped off the carriage.

Her long, silver-white hair fluttered gently in the wind and snow. She wore a black and white maid outfit, her pretty face radiating a hint of coldness, and her red eyes fixed on the person chasing after her.

Rita charged forward first, and seeing Eileen poised to block them, she showed no mercy, gripping her weapons with both hands.

Her weapon was a pair of hammers, shaped like pumpkins, with a cold luster that sent chills down one's spine just by looking at them.

"Hoohoo!"

Amidst the cold wind and snow, Rita rode her horse swiftly to Eileen's side and swung a hammer down at her.

Eileen neither dodged nor evaded, but instead swung her sword at Rita's hammer. However, just as the sword was about to make contact with the hammer, Eileen cleverly changed her attack, letting the sword graz the hammer and slash at Rita's wrist.

As a fellow high-ranking apostle and a general, Rita's reaction was naturally extremely fast. Just as Eileen changed the angle of her attack, she deftly flipped her wrist to avoid Eileen's attack, while the hammer in her other hand was already approaching Eileen's head.

Eileen dodged the attack by sidestepping.

In their first encounter, neither of them touched the other; they simply passed each other.

"You killed all the people of our kingdom, didn't you?" Rita stopped her horse, turned around, and looked at Eileen. "Who are you, and why are you targeting our Akti Kingdom?"

Eileen did not answer.

She was never one to say unnecessary words; she only used actions to speak, and she directly swung her sword at Rita.

Upon seeing this, Rita revealed a ferocious smile on her ugly face.

She wasn't actually a talkative person, so Eileen's straightforward behavior pleased her. She immediately jumped off her horse, waving her double hammers as she charged towards Eileen through the snow.

"Bang bang bang bang bang..."

The two men clashed rapidly, their weapons colliding many times in a short period of time.

Rita also worships the Sword of War, believing that worshipping the Sword of War allows one to control the power of the sword and the body. The abilities Rita possesses are all physical, which is evident from the weapons she uses.

While Rita and Eileen were clashing, the rest of the people who had come with Rita quickly approached.

"Don't worry about me, go and stop their carriage and take the people inside," Rita ordered directly.

Upon hearing Rita's words, the others immediately bypassed the two and headed towards Amelia without hesitation.

Seeing this, Eileen narrowed her eyes.

She dodged Rita and planned to attack the others first, but as Eileen moved, Rita also moved nimbly and blocked Eileen's way.

Rita's body is clearly very large, and she inevitably gives people a clumsy feeling, but in fact, she can be very agile when she moves.

Eileen tried to dodge Rita again, but Rita was like a persistent leech, steadily catching up with Eileen and preventing her from dealing with the others.

This situation did not deter Eileen. She suddenly retreated, creating distance between herself and Rita, and then swung her sword into the air. The cold blade sliced ​​through the snow and wind, and one after another, sword energies shot out, whistling through the snow and wind, tearing apart the swirling snow and slashing at the others.
