338 Breaking It Up

Selma Payne’s POV:

The elven soldier’s face turned red as he glared at me. He gritted his teeth and said, “You’re the ones who bite back!”

“We?” I laughed unceremoniously. “Tell me now, how have we let you down? Is it wrong to rush here overnight to help you, or is it wrong to break the evil sacrificial array or to purify the evil power?”

“The wanderers that attacked the city are from your werewolf pack! You can’t shirk your responsibility!”

“This is the funniest joke I’ve heard this week. The crime of the stray werewolves can be pushed onto the entire werewolf race? According to your logic, there are also many rangers among the elves who assassinate and steal from other races. Why don’t your entire elf race atone for the crimes of those elves who betrayed us?”

“Don’t try to change the subject. We’re talking about you werewolves! Don’t pour dirt on my clan!”

The elven soldier was still arrogantly threatening me when I suddenly grabbed him by the collar and easily crossed the human wall formed by the troublemakers. Then, I threw him at the ruined city gate.

“The werewolves? Open your eyes and take a good look, kid! Your territory was attacked, and the ones who died were your comrades. This had nothing to do with us werewolves from the beginning to the end. If you have the time to talk nonsense with me, why don’t you see how your fellow countrymen die?

“You don’t need our help? Sure, I’m not willing to work for you for free anyway. No matter how the evil power spreads, even if the entire border is polluted, even if the elven capital city falls, that’s all your business, and you can deal with it however you want. It’s up to you whether you want to die or not. What does that have to do with the werewolves?”

I turned around and said to the silent elf soldiers, “Please understand the current situation. I’m here not because the werewolf clan owes you anything, nor because you elves are in high demand. It’s because your King came to ask me for help, and I only agreed on account of the diplomatic ties between the two countries. Stop pestering me, you idiots! Do you think I’m willing to come to your poor village to suffer?

“Also, we’re here to help, not to clean up the stray werewolves’ mess. Do you still have the most basic concept of integrity? I don’t expect you to treat me like a benefactor, but I’ve just purified Autumn City, and you’re already burning the bridge after crossing it. That’s not very polite!

“It’s been twenty minutes since I entered Spring City. I could’ve done many things in these twenty minutes, but the situation has only worsened because of your unreasonable tantrums. How many of your soldiers have been contaminated by the remaining evil forces? Can you handle it? Or do you want to watch them die?

“Or are you certain I’m a soft-hearted person who won’t leave you all to die? That’s why you’re stepping on my mercy and unscrupulously showing off your ridiculous foolishness? If that’s the case, I’m sorry, but you’ve misjudged me. I’m not a good person. There’s no reason for me to be so nice to others when they’re pointing at me and scolding me.

I unilaterally announce that the werewolf pack’s assistance to the elf clan is over. Since you don’t want us to stay, and we want to leave, why don’t we go our separate ways and not get involved with each other in the future?”

I rolled my eyes. I didn’t want to see the elves’ strange expressions at all. I ordered the warriors over and prepared to leave.

Klein came to stop me, and Kaya also came to beg me not to leave, but I’d made up my mind. Did they think we were going to stand there and be their punching bags?

I led the warriors and left, leaving the elves with their mouths agape.

After walking for a long time, when even the shadow of Spring City could no longer be seen, Dorothy asked me quietly, “Are we really going to leave like this? Or are you just trying to scare them?”

“Of course we’re leaving. Who do they think they are? Is there a need for me to hold on to them?” I replied indifferently, “Since they don’t welcome us, we don’t have to be their guests.

“But what about the evil power?”

“Let them settle it themselves. Aren’t they all quite capable?”

“I’m being serious. Are we really just going to leave it be?”

“Yes, I don’t care anymore. Don’t look at me like that, okay? I’ve already sent New Flow out to test the waters. The situation in Spring City is very different from Autumn City. Maybe it’s because Leviathan had constructed an illusion in Autumn City, but the remaining evil power there is not on the same level as that in Spring City. It’s impossible to dissipate it by itself.

“However, there is very little evil energy left in Spring City. Not only is it dissipating naturally, but it is also flowing back through the evil sacrifice array. This is amazing, right? I’ll ask Master Kevin about the principle behind it. In short, it will gradually recover even if I don’t purify Spring City. It’s just a matter of time.”
