The sword energy was launched from a great distance from Rita, but Rita still wore a relaxed smile. With a flick of her wrists, her arms stretched out to a length of over ten meters, quickly extending in front of the others. She then swung her twin hammers to completely disintegrate the sword energy that Eileen had slashed at her.

"Limb elongation?"

Amelia recognized the ability and frowned slightly.

This Rita is a bit troublesome.

Chapter 122 Snow Chase, Entering the Star River Territory

After blocking Eileen's attack, Rita's arms and limbs quickly retracted, returning to their original length, and then she charged towards Eileen with a sinister grin.

With her around, Eileen can forget about interfering with anyone else.

Eileen kept her eyes on the rest of the group, who were chasing Amelia on horseback. If they caught up with her, Amelia would be in trouble.

Therefore, I need to be quick!

Thinking of this, Eileen crouched down, then leaped high into the air with the help of her enhanced jumping ability, quickly soaring over Rita's head and rushing towards Rita's subordinates.

Rita reacted quickly, stopping in her tracks and swinging her arms in the air, stretching them out once more as she grabbed the double hammers and brought them down in front of Eileen.

Eileen was not surprised by Rita's attack. As Rita's twin hammers came at her, she swung her sword in front of her, blocking all of Rita's attacks. She even used the force from the collision to quickly move closer to Rita's men.

Rita was about to continue attacking Eileen with her outstretched hands when a roar came from behind her. The familiar voice made her turn her head to look.

In the pristine white snow, a group of brown-haired horses lay dead, their blood flowing rapidly from their bodies, staining the snow red.

This is Rita's horse.

When she saw her horse being killed, even Rita's expression changed, because she hadn't even noticed when her horse had been attacked. Was it Eileen who had just made the move?

In her mind, all of Eileen's actions just now flashed through her mind, and she quickly analyzed them.

Rita quickly realized when Eileen had made her move.

"I see. She crouched down before jumping, not only to gather strength for the leap, but also to use the crouching position to slash a sword aura along the snow towards my horse."

Rita understood the situation.

Because Eileen leaped high into the air the next instant, her attention was drawn to Eileen, so she didn't notice the sword energy skimming the snow.

How could a horse possibly withstand a sword strike from a high-ranking apostle?

And so his horse died.

'not good! '

Suddenly Rita's expression changed because she had been lost in thought.

She was distracted by the horse's dying cries. Could it be that using this method to distract herself was also part of the other party's plan?

Rita quickly looked at her subordinates, and at the same time stretched out her hands, grabbed her double hammers, and slammed them down at Eileen.

As she attacked, Rita shouted, "You guys defend yourselves!"

Upon hearing Rita's words, Rita's subordinates turned around and saw Eileen arriving amidst the wind and snow. The swirling snow around Eileen gave her a dreamlike appearance.

However, Rita's subordinates paid no attention to aesthetics when they saw this scene; they only felt their scalps tingle. After all, a high-ranking apostle was charging towards them, and if they didn't handle it well, they would say goodbye to this world.

Ice picks!

Fireball!

Shockwave!

Rita's men immediately used various methods to attack Eileen, trying to stop her from getting closer.

Eileen's eyes remained unwavering as she swung her sword, unleashing a barrage of sword energy that swept forward. No matter what attacks her opponent unleashed, they were all shattered before Eileen's sword energy, posing absolutely no obstacle.

In this situation, Rita's many subordinates could only desperately dodge to the side, falling into the snow in an extremely disheveled manner.

The sword energy swept across, and blood splattered everywhere.

Some of Rita's men managed to dodge the attack at the crucial moment, but not everyone could escape it. Several were killed on the spot, their blood splattering everywhere.

In addition, all the horses of everyone were also killed without exception.

At that moment, Rita's attack came from behind.

The massive hammer was aimed at Eileen's head. Eileen had no choice but to turn around, swing her sword, and collide heavily with the hammer, producing a sound like a resounding bronze bell.

“I was deceived by you before, which gave you the opportunity to attack the others, but such an opportunity will not come again,” Rita said, looking fiercely at Eileen.

Eileen didn't speak, but quickly assessed the surrounding situation.

First, there's Rita, a high-ranking apostle. Rita's strength shouldn't be underestimated. As long as Rita gets serious, whether she can defeat her or not is another matter, but at least she can hold her off for a while.

Under these circumstances, Rita's remaining subordinates can then deal with Amelia.

Those who survived Eileen's previous attacks were undoubtedly mid-level apostles. Several mid-level apostles working together posed a considerable threat.

However, everyone's horses have been taken care of!

After these thoughts flashed through her mind, Eileen already knew what she had to do.

There's no need to linger in the fight.

This is not a good time to fight.

Eileen immediately twisted her wrist, deflecting Rita's hammer to the side by dissipating its force, and with the boost from her jump enhancement, she jumped back to avoid it.

Seeing this, Rita immediately followed.

At this moment, Amelia was also watching the battle behind her, and she was ready for battle.

However, upon seeing Eileen slaughter all the horses, Amelia knew that she didn't need to participate in the battle. Eileen had arranged everything perfectly, and she didn't need to lift a finger.

“Eileen…”

Amelia murmured the name softly.

With the boost from her enhanced jumping ability, Eileen covered a long distance in just a few leaps and quickly approached the carriage.

Meanwhile, Rita and her men were frantically chasing after Eileen.

It didn't take long for Eileen to finally leap onto the carriage.

“Your Majesty, dealing with them is not easy, and there may be unexpected events, so I have no choice but to kill their horses to prevent them from catching up with us,” Eileen explained.

“I know, Eileen.” Amelia nodded and said, “You’ve done very well. You could have done even better without me.”

Amelia could see that if it weren't for protecting herself, Eileen could have stayed and fought a major battle. Even if Rita and her group surrounded Eileen, they might not have been able to win.

Hearing Amelia say this, Eileen subconsciously said, "That's not how it is, Your Majesty..."

"Don't worry, I'm not wallowing in self-pity, because I know I've actually done very well. I've worked hard to become a mid-level apostle, but my strength is still not enough to handle all situations. I will become stronger, and in the future, I will be able to truly fight alongside Eileen, instead of becoming someone who can only be protected."

"Protecting His Majesty is what I should do."

“Eileen…” Amelia smiled. “Let’s not talk about that. Eileen, through this brief exchange, you should have a pretty good understanding of that ugly woman’s strength, right? If you were to fight one-on-one, what would the outcome be?”

“I will win,” Eileen said without hesitation.

“That’s enough. Now, I’ll trouble you, Eileen, to hold them off from a distance again,” Amelia said, glancing behind her.

Rita and the others continued their pursuit. Although they had lost their horses, their running speed as apostles was still quite fast, and they could still hoist the carriage along.

Eileen understood Amelia's meaning, and immediately flipped herself onto the carriage, gripping her sword tightly in her right hand.

She coldly watched the people chasing after her, raised her sword, and then a series of sword energies shot out.

The silvery-white sword energy tore through the cold air and the swirling snow, crisscrossing as it slashed towards Rita and the others.

Even Rita couldn't ignore the attack from Eileen, a high-ranking apostle, and had to take action to defend herself. However, defending herself inevitably affected her, slowing down her pursuit.

The speed of Rita and her companions in pursuit will be affected, but the speed of the carriage will not be affected much.

Although there was snow on the ground, it wasn't deep, and the horses had rested enough. Now they galloped away, their hooves flying, quickly carrying the carriage away.

After a while, watching the carriage disappear on the horizon, Rita had to stop her pursuit.

She looked ahead, breathing heavily through her mouth, the white steam clearly visible as she exhaled.

Several mid-level apostles who were still alive behind Rita rushed over. One of them, panting, asked, "General, what should we do next?"

Rita stared intently ahead.

They couldn't catch up, because Eileen wouldn't let them continue chasing; she kept unleashing sword energy to attack them, so naturally they couldn't pursue any further.

"Hmph, you ran away quickly. You must have known that if you stayed, you wouldn't stand a chance against me, right?"

Rita was very confident in her abilities and felt that Eileen would be no match for her in a one-on-one situation; otherwise, why would she have run away earlier?

Then she thought for a moment and said to the people around her, "Next, we'll go to the Fog Crystal Mine."

The Mist Crystal Mine is the mine discovered by the Kingdom of Akti. Rita thinks that Amelia and Irene might go there. After all, Amelia and Irene have let go of many people they originally captured and intended to send to mine, which makes people wonder if it was intentional.

Besides, Rita had no other clues besides the Mist Crystal Mine, so she had no choice but to head in that direction.

==========

After shaking off Rita and the others, Amelia and Eileen traveled eastward in a carriage and finally entered the Star River Territory.

Galaxy Territory is a territory with abundant vegetation. In spring and summer, even ordinary wilderness areas here are beautiful enough to make people linger.

In the snowy winter, this beauty is somewhat obscured.

Everywhere were bare trees covered in snow, and the whole world seemed to have turned white.

Amelia sat beside Eileen, gazing into the distance.

"Eileen, is that Fog Mountain?" Amelia pointed in a direction.

At the end of that direction, the outline of a mountain could be vaguely seen in the wind and snow. It was so blurry that one couldn't help but wonder if they were seeing things.

Eileen glanced over there and nodded, "That's right, that's Mist Mountain."

"Then let's go over there."

"I see."

Eileen slightly changed direction and headed towards Mist Mountain.

The reason for going to Fog Mountain is that the Fog Crystal Stone vein discovered by the Akti Kingdom is located below Fog Mountain.

Normally, Wushan is shrouded in mist and clouds, and few people dare to approach it. Otherwise, if one were to lose their way in the fog, they might get trapped and die there.
