Chapter 424 - The Race War
Just when no one knew where Darren was, Cameron stood up. Not only did his actions attract everyone, but they also shocked many of them, including Melissa.
This was because those who knew Cameron knew that he was a devout believer of Gajero. What he hated the most was elves like Dave, and outsiders who did not belong to the Elf World!
However, Cameron had taken the initiative to offer help to Vincent. This was enough to make many Dark Elves feel incredulous!
Melissa said with some grat.i.tude, "Lord Cameron, I didn"t expect you to stand up at this time!"
Cameron shook his head slightly. He walked directly in front of Melissa and Vincent.
Cameron looked Vincent up and down and said in a deep voice, "I know Darren"s whereabouts, but you have to tell me, what are you planning to do?"
Vincent smiled indifferently and said, "Of course, I"m going to find Darren and stop him from stealing the Origin Divine Earth!"
"Then how are you going to stop him?" asked Cameron again.
.
Vincent replied without hesitation, "Kill him!"
Cameron was stunned at first. He then said, "You want to use the information I provided you to kill the Dark Elves. Do you think that"s reasonable?"
Vincent frowned slightly and asked, "Then what do you think is reasonable?"
Cameron smiled slightly and said meaningfully, "You can"t use the information provided by Dark Elves to kill Dark Elves. Such an act is an invasion, and it"s very shameful! The Dark Elves should solve the problem of the Dark Elves themselves. You must understand this, or else you"ll be unable to move an inch in Elf World!"
Vincent twisted his neck and frowned at Cameron. He replied, "Oh, so you are not trying to provide information about Darren, you are trying to teach me a lesson!"
Dave and Melissa could not help but hold their foreheads in pain when they heard this. They did not expect Cameron to be so stubborn, even with Vincent!
Cameron said with a smile, "Even if I"m lecturing you, you have to understand that the current situation is like this: If you want to know Darren"s whereabouts, you have to go through me. And you have to promise me that you won"t hurt any Dark Elves. Otherwise, I will never tell you!"
Vincent nodded with a smile and said indifferently, "If that"s the case, then I won"t trouble you. We will find Darren"s whereabouts ourselves. As for what will happen to Serene Spring City, it"s up to you to decide!"
After saying that, Vincent was about to turn around and leave.
After seeing that, Dave and Melissa stepped forward in a hurry to stop Vincent and said anxiously, "Vincent! Now is not the time to be angry. Without you, we won"t be able to stop Darren, let alone save Serene Spring City!"
Vincent looked at Dave and Melissa, and the corners of his mouth suddenly curled up into a smile. He said in a deep voice, "If you want me to save Serene Spring City and stop Darren, the Dark Elves of Serene Spring City should at least cooperate with me! In the end, I"m just a foreigner. What does the life and death of the Elf Race have to do with me?"
Dave was not disappointed after hearing Vincent"s ruthless words because he was paying attention to the smile on his face.
After spending so much time with Vincent, Dave knew that Vincent was not someone who smiled often. Whenever he smiled, it must be because his plan had succeeded, or when he thought that someone was stupid!
At that moment, Dave did not think that his and Melissa"s actions were stupid. On the contrary, the reason why he had the heart to save the elves was all because of Vincent"s guidance. Therefore, Vincent"s smile was not meant to mock Dave and Melissa.
Instead, he must have devised some kind of plan that had already succeeded in its preliminary stage.
After thinking about it, Dave could not help but look at Cameron behind Vincent subconsciously. Soon, he understood Vincent"s intention. He retreated to the side silently, leaving Melissa alone to face Vincent.
Melissa naturally did not have as many thoughts as Dave. She only knew that Vincent was her last hope to save Serene Spring City. Otherwise, when Darren"s army arrived, everyone in Serene Spring City would die without a doubt!
Melissa said to Vincent sincerely, "Vincent, although I don"t know why you came to the Elf world, I can see that you only hate Gajero and the Demon Race. I believe that your world must have encountered the same predicament as the Elf Race so we have a common enemy. Please stay and fight with us against Gajero and his minions!"
Vincent frowned slightly and said, "What a joke!"
He sneered, "Why should I help you? Our human world hasn"t been invaded by demons yet, and we"ve already formed a defense force. Besides, if I want to fight Gajero, I can find a more powerful helper. Why should I join hands with the elves?"
At that moment, more and more elves were gathering around the streets. The residents of Serene Spring City who had just escaped death were listening to the conversation between Vincent and Melissa. They were surprised to see that the two of them were not scared to call Gajero by his name. They were also surprised to hear Vincent offending the G.o.ds with his words. They were frustrated by Vincent"s ruthlessness.
Vincent had stopped the ma.s.sacre in Serene Spring City and had also caught High Priest Sophia. The only danger that hung in the air was Vice City Lord Darren and the missing City Lord Jessica.
If the residents of Serene Spring City did not have Vincent"s help, how could they bear Darren"s fury?
After hearing what Vincent said, Melissa spoke as if she had made up her mind, "If you stay here and help Serene Spring City and all the elves to resist Gajero, you can attract the Demon Race"s energy to Elf World! If we win, it will be a good thing for us. If we lose, we will just destroy Elf World. We will not hurt the world that you want to protect. Isn"t such a condition enough for you to help us?"
The surrounding residents could not help but widen their eyes when they heard Melissa"s words. No one had expected Melissa to make such a crazy decision.
Dave, who had already retreated into the crowd, sighed and said, "There seems to be no better solution at the moment! If we don"t support Vincent, what awaits the elves will only be destruction. If we support Vincent, the result will be just as what Melissa had said. It will be either a humiliating death or a desperate fight! I believe that any brave elf would know what to do. I support Melissa!"
The residents who were hesitating or were confused earlier soon figured out the stakes after hearing what Dave said.
If they stood with Vincent to fight Darren and the demons behind him, Elf World would be scorched by the war. However, if they did not have Vincent"s help, the elves would still be destroyed in the end. There would be no change in the result!
Although the residents of Serene Spring City were still Dark Elves and believers of Gajero, they had seen the end of the world after they were almost killed earlier. Neither Darren nor Jessica cared about their lives. If they were allowed to continue ruling Serene Spring City, it would be like a h.e.l.l of despair for everyone.
"You"re right! Melissa"s choice isn"t wrong. I support her!"
"Miss Melissa is indeed worthy of being the successor of the Carter family. She has courage and determination. I also support her!"
Some of the Dark Elves who were still hot-blooded in the crowd expressed their support for Melissa. At the same time, they were determined to follow Melissa"s words and invite Vincent to fight against the demons together. This way, they would stand a chance to save Elf World.
Vincent turned to look at the excited crowd and could not help but nod, "Good! It seems that the Dark Elves of Serene Spring City are still brave. They understand the reason and know the difference between good and evil! Moreover, there"s such an excellent decision-maker like Melissa. I"m willing to stay and help everyone fight against Darren and the demon forces behind him!"
"Great, long live Melissa!"
Cheers broke out in the crowd. They were not familiar with Vincent, and some of them did not even know his name. However, they remembered Melissa"s name being mentioned in Vincent"s words. Therefore, in their hearts, the meritorious deeds of joining hands with Vincent to resist the demons were all superimposed by Melissa.
After saying two sentences, Melissa had become the hero in everyone"s hearts!
"This..."
Melissa looked at Vincent in a daze as if she did not know why the Dark Elves were cheering her name.
Vincent raised his hand to signal for everyone to be quiet. He then turned around and said to Cameron, "I believe that most of the Dark Elves in Serene Spring City hope to break away from the rule of Jessica and Darren. However, there are still some who believe in Gajero and are still willing to be loyal to Jessica and Darren. They even threatened me to help save Darren"s life. This behavior is absolutely unacceptable!"
Cameron could not help but be startled. He did not expect Vincent to suddenly point the finger at him. He also did not expect Vincent"s words to be so impactful. The residents of Serene Spring City had turned to look at him instead.
"You, you have misunderstood me! I just want to say that the Elf Race still needs to handle their own matters. As a foreigner, you only need to provide help, but you don"t need to do anything to harm the Elf Race. Darren and Jessica may have lost themselves because of their power, but they are still loyal believers of the Great G.o.d, Gajero. I believe that I can definitely persuade them to give up killing and govern Serene Spring City properly!"
Vincent looked at Cameron and shook his head in disdain. He walked forward and said, "I just saved the entire Serene Spring City, but you stopped me and want me to show mercy to the culprit who ma.s.sacred so many civilians. Gajero has been provoking the internal war among the elves all these years, and even enticing the twelve apostles to collect the Origin Divine Earth for him. Isn"t he an outsider? Why don"t you try to persuade Gajero to stop?"
Cameron kept stepping back under Vincent"s interrogation. His face became even more and more awkward. In the end, he could only sigh and say, "Don"t talk nonsense. What Jessica and Darren did have nothing to do with Gajero, there is no concrete evidence!"
