Elders' Orders
Michael's expression was sour when they returned to the clearing.
Several hours had passed and the sun was about to disappear behind the horizon.
At last, Michael and the others decided not to enter the lizard cave.
Despite not entering the lizard cave, they conquered it indirectly by telling Liopham to keep using his Soultrait, Rage of the Primal. He used his Soultrait to pull smaller groups of Monsters out of the cavern system where they would be ambushed with a great numerical advantage.
Michael was glad that one of the Forest Elves was in possession of Rage of the Primal, but overall, he was dissatisfied with the stubbornness of the Forest Elves. It felt like they were born to waste money– and to make his life much harder.
His dissatisfaction turned to mild annoyance as he had expected them to wholeheartedly cooperate with him and his team.
