Alpha's Rejected Mate Returns as Queen

336 The Opposition

Selma Payne’s POV:

Her unusually respectful attitude gave me goosebumps, and the news she brought me was even more unbelievable.

“You want me to help you purify the contamination?” I hesitated to confirm. “You guys should know that I can’t move alone. If you invite me, my team members will have to follow. Would your King be happy with so many warriors around your territory?”

Kaya was tensing up, so even though she was a little dissatisfied with what I said, she still replied obediently, “We admire your selflessness and strength. His Majesty believes that you are a friend worthy of trust.”

“Alright.” I said, “Since we’re already here, it doesn’t matter if we walk a few more steps.”

After reporting the situation to my father and getting his approval, I led the warriors and continued to follow the elves.

Although Autumn City was not the largest city on the border, it was the city with the most population in the area. The closest city to it was a small city called summer city, and further away were Spring City and Winterfell.

It was not difficult to tell from the names that these city-states came from the same clan. However, after the pollution, the elves in the four cities of spring, summer, autumn, and winter were no different from extinction. Even if the population at the border was small, there were still nearly 30000 lives.

Kaya and the other elves became more and more silent as they traveled. At first, they had hoped to find survivors from other cities, but the children in the school’s storage room in Autumn City were clearly lucky. After turning Summer City upside down and not finding a single living thing, the hope in their eyes was extinguished.

Seeing their tightly clenched hands and teary eyes, I couldn’t say anything in the end. All I could do was pat their shoulders in comfort.

The elven soldiers had carefully tidied up summer City. I had successfully absorbed the remaining evil energy in the area and then set off for Spring City without stopping.

The surviving children had been handed over to the elven soldiers of Summer City, who would be responsible for sending these unfortunate and fortunate children to the capital.

And in Spring City, as expected, I was in trouble.

Some of the elven soldiers glared at us and said some nasty things. They even refused to let me help with the purification of Spring City.

I had already expected this situation. After all, the wanderers were still werewolves. Although they were no longer the same kind of werewolves, would the elves who were harmed care about such things? It was normal for them to push the blame on us for the actions of the wanderers.

“You’re not welcome here, mottled dogs!” The leading elf cursed angrily, “If it weren’t for you, would so many innocent people be sacrificed? Murderers, don’t come here and pretend to be nice. We don’t need it! Get lost!”

The people surrounding us were mighty. Although some of the soldiers had a wait-and-see attitude, it was obvious who they were siding with from their expressions.

Kaya tried to reason with the leader. “They are the guests invited by His Majesty to help us solve the disaster. If you have any dissatisfaction, you should tell the palace! The longer we delay, the more the contamination will spread. Do you want more people to die from this disgusting power?”

The leader didn’t listen to anything and continued to lead the soldiers to block the gate, not letting us in.

He didn’t seem to be a high-ranking officer, and I waited for a long time, but no one came to deal with this chaotic farce.

After a moment of stalemate, facing the elves who wanted to pounce on me and tear me apart, I indifferently said, “Alright, since you’re not willing, I won’t force you.”

I greeted Kaya, turned around, and waved at the warriors. “Let’s go. The mission is over. Let’s go home.”

“Wait!” Kaya stopped me anxiously. “Please wait. I swear these soldiers are not doing it on purpose. They are just too agitated. They will realize their mistakes when they calm down. Please give them a chance. Please don’t hold it against them.”

“Me?” I glanced at the elven soldiers, who were all agitated and laughed. “I admit that I’m not a very open-minded person, but I can still distinguish between what’s important and what’s not when it comes to life and death. But your people don’t seem to be nervous at all. Since you have the time to rebel against me, you must have finished your work in Spring City. In that case, what reason do I have to stay? I’ll take my leave.”

“Spring City needs you! I’ll immediately get someone to disperse them!”

“Who are you looking for? An officer? But these soldiers have been here for almost half an hour, and I haven’t even seen a single officer. I believe that the tradition of your land is that subordinates can be the masters of their superiors. This is the people’s will, so it’s better not to trouble insignificant people.”

Kaya choked on my words. She didn’t know how to stop me or let me go. Her face was red.

Finally, in the middle of a stalemate, a male elf who seemed to have a high military rank arrived.

“The children are insensible. They’ve caused you trouble.” As soon as he arrived, he politely apologized to me, “It’s even more serious here. Let’s talk after we enter the city. ”

He seemed just to be putting on airs.

I impolitely commented in my heart before arrogantly nodding. “Then let’s go.”
