"The Ghost Festival is indeed a very interesting festival, but given the current situation, I wonder if it will still be held... Hmm?"
"What's wrong, Your Majesty?"
"nothing."
Amelia glanced at the comments in front of her.
The barrage of comments had disappeared for a long time during the journey so far, which means that the scenes the audience saw would jump to the future, and now that future time has arrived?
Amelia looked at the comments and realized that the scene the viewers were seeing was not here.
As she watched, Amelia's expression suddenly turned serious.
Judging from the comments, the scene they were watching was of Harold and his group, who were currently facing considerable trouble, having been attacked by a powerful band of thieves, and their situation was quite dire.
'This is troublesome. How did Harold and his group run into such formidable thieves? With Nicole, a mid-level apostle, around, what thief could possibly pose a threat to them?'
Amelia felt like she couldn't get what she needed right away, until a comment appeared on the screen.
The valley is so narrow that it looks like only two carriages can pass each other side-by-side; there's not even enough room to maneuver.
Amelia was taken aback when she saw this comment.
She quickly looked up ahead. At that moment, she and Eileen had just entered a valley, which was very narrow and about the same size as described in the comments.
Could Harold and his group be right in front of the canyon?
Amelia was somewhat surprised because Harold and the others had gone to the lord's manor before her, and she and Eileen had done many other things along the way, yet they had still managed to catch up with Harold and the others.
Did Harold and his companions encounter something along the way that caused them to be delayed?
Although she didn't understand the exact situation, Amelia knew she couldn't waste any more time, so she quickly said, "Eileen, something seems wrong up ahead. Let's hurry over there."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Eileen didn't notice anything amiss, but since it was Amelia who said it, she immediately made the carriage speed up.
After traveling for a short time under these circumstances, Eileen finally noticed a commotion ahead. Looking into the distance, she could see a caravan fighting with thieves.
Most importantly, wasn't that convoy led by Harold?
Eileen was a little surprised. Even she had only just noticed the commotion ahead. How had Her Majesty managed to notice it beforehand?
Could it be... a clue brought by the wind?
The Bard's Bow can control the power of the bow and the wind; perhaps His Majesty is more sensitive to the wind?
"Eileen, go help them. It's up to you." Amelia's voice came from the side.
"Leave it to me."
Eileen snapped out of her daze, picked up her longsword "Crescent Moon," leaped off the carriage, and charged forward at an even faster speed.
As for the carriage, Amelia drove it.
Eileen was incredibly fast, and she arrived at the battle site in no time. At that moment, the thieves were transporting a large boulder down the mountainside, and several people were pushing it to fall. Below, there were several injured people who could no longer avoid the boulder.
Seeing this, Eileen sped up and leaped over.
The boulder fell.
Eileen also drew her sword.
A blinding white sword light burst forth in mid-air, striking the rolling stone and instantly shattering it into countless fragments that fell to the ground. Even if these fragments hit someone, the damage would be limited.
After dealing with the rolling stones, Eileen moved with light, graceful movements, landing on the mountainside. With a gentle push, she reached the top of the cliff and wielded her sword with lightning speed. Streams of sword energy flew out, and large numbers of thieves fell to the ground screaming in agony, their limbs and blood flying everywhere.
Chapter 124 The Lord's Mansion, the Beautiful Lord
This scene took both sides of the battle by surprise.
The difference is that one side is filled with shock and anger.
The other side was overjoyed.
"It's Eileen! Eileen is here!"
Everyone is familiar with Irene, after all, she has always been by Amelia's side, holding the rank of High Apostle, and is currently the strongest person on the Silent Throne.
Eileen is here!
When the news spread, everyone was immediately relieved, as if as long as Eileen arrived, all the problems would cease to be problems.
Nicole, who was fighting the bandit leader, noticed Eileen's arrival and her face immediately lit up with joy.
"Hmph, your end is near." Nicole then looked at the bandit leader, a smug look on her pretty face.
The bandit leader looked at Eileen from afar, who seemed like a goddess descending to earth. Even with his face covered, it was clear that his expression had turned extremely ugly at that moment.
After all, that was a high-ranking apostle!
The bandit leader didn't dare linger. He took a step back and prepared to leave. He didn't even dare to order the other bandits to retreat, because if he did, he would become conspicuous, and he didn't want to be conspicuous at this moment.
But Nicole had been keeping an eye on the thief leader the whole time, so how could she let him leave?
Seeing the bandit leader retreating, Nicole quickly swung her flaming whip, the whip flashing with dazzling fire as she lashed out.
At the same time, Nicole shouted in a sweet voice, "Sister Eileen, the leader of the thieves is here."
The bandit leader, who had just blocked Nicole's attack, nearly spat out blood in anger upon hearing her words. Immediately afterward, he felt his body turn ice-cold.
He looked up and saw a pair of cold eyes pierce through the narrow canyon and land on him.
That was the coldest moment he had felt since the beginning of winter. Even when it was snowing heavily a few days ago, he had never felt such intense cold.
The next moment, that chill approached.
The opponent was incredibly fast. Only a few seconds after the thief leader realized he was being watched, the opponent had already rushed up to him.
"Ugh!"
The bandit leader gritted his teeth, wielding his flaming whip and lashing out heavily in a final act of resistance.
Eileen's eyes were indifferent. She simply swung her sword casually, and the fiery whip in front of her was instantly shattered into flying sparks.
The next instant, Eileen's sword was placed next to the bandit leader's neck.
The bandit leader dared not move again.
With Eileen's arrival, everything was destined to settle down.
When Amelia arrived in her carriage, the battle was already over. Most of the thieves were dead, and only a few had been captured and would be interrogated.
Anyone who saw so many apostles among the thieves would feel something was amiss and would find it hard to believe that this was a purely thieving gang. Interrogation would naturally be unavoidable.
"His Majesty."
Upon Amelia's arrival, Harold immediately came to greet her.
Amelia sat calmly in the carriage and asked, "Harold, you went ahead of Eileen and me, so why are you only arriving here now?"
"It's like this..."
Harold immediately recounted their ordeal, and the answer was closely related to the thieves.
Along their journey, they encountered numerous thieves. Although none of the thieves they met earlier were mid-level apostles, their numbers were vast, and they came in waves, maintaining a high degree of order and discipline, causing them considerable trouble.
Amelia frowned as she listened to Harold's explanation.
It's winter now, and it's been snowing on and off lately. Under these circumstances, how can there be so many thieves out and about? Does that make sense?
And these thieves were very organized?
Amelia already had some suspicions in her mind, and ordered, "Bring all the thieves we just captured here. I want to interrogate them."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Harold immediately ordered his men to bring over all the thieves they had just captured.
Among the thieves, the thief leader, who was a mid-level apostle, was personally escorted and guarded by Eileen. In addition, the other thieves were also brought over bound.
As the group of thieves appeared before her, Amelia's gaze swept over them one by one. She could see that their expressions were all very resolute, unlike the casual demeanor of ordinary thieves.
As Amelia sized up the crowd, many of the thieves also looked at her.
“Tell me your identities and background,” Amelia commanded.
No one answered.
Amelia wasn't surprised by this. If these people were indeed as she suspected, they obviously wouldn't easily reveal their origins.
But even if she didn't say it, information about them still couldn't be hidden from Amelia.
Because the audience's view was focused on the thieves, even though the thieves didn't speak, their inner thoughts were seen by the audience, and related comments appeared in front of Amelia's eyes.
[So they really were soldiers from the three kingdoms in disguise? I had a feeling about it for a while.]
[The Kingdom of Bagus? While the Kingdom of Akti was doing something in secret, the Kingdom of Bagus wasn't exactly keeping quiet either.]
[They had their soldiers disguised as thieves causing trouble in Star River Territory; they were probably targeting Ruth, right?]
[Speaking of which, Star River Territory is still under Ruth's control, which is probably what displeases the Kingdom of Bagus, so they want to seize this territory.]
The main problem is that the three kingdoms betrayed each other too quickly. They went from being partners to distrusting each other in very short time, and their military forces are now focused on defending themselves against one another.
So, is Rose going to appear next? I want to see Miss Rose, she's amazing!
After scanning the numerous comments on the screen, Amelia already knew everything she needed to know.
“They won’t say anything. Should we resort to torture?” Harold asked Amelia from the side.
Hearing Harold say this, the many thieves who had been brought over secretly sneered.
They're not stupid. If they told everyone, wouldn't they become worthless? And if they're worthless, how can their lives be guaranteed?
Only by saying nothing and keeping secrets can one demonstrate their value and continue to survive in order to find a way out.
However, saying nothing at all wouldn't work either. The thieves had already decided that under the questioning of these people, they could squeeze out a little bit of information to tell them, but they would not explain everything at once and would continue to delay.
The thieves' ideas were all quite good, but Amelia shook her head after hearing Harold's words: "There's no need for such trouble, just take them all and kill them."
The thieves: "???"
Harold was taken aback: "Aren't we going to interrogate them and find out what's going on?"
Amelia curled her lip: "Absolutely not. Their behavior is enough to show that they are just soldiers from some kingdom disguised as thieves. And since these thieves are concentrated in Star River Territory, they are obviously targeting Ruth Morington. Ruth must know something about it. We can ask Ruth later to find out which country's soldiers they are disguised as."
