Outrageous! I started as the Elf King!

Chapter 10 Building a Wooden House

Thousands of years ago.

The Forgotten Swamp is not yet a swamp.

The dark forest in the distance is not called the Dark Forest.

These regions were once part of the Elven Empire's territory.

The Forgotten Swamp, in particular, is the core territory of the Elf Empire.

You should get up from where you fall.

In addition, many areas of the Dark Continent have been occupied by evil and dark creatures. For example, the Dark Forest has now become the territory of evil races such as night elves and cyclopes.

Furthermore, the demonic forces are deeply entrenched in those regions.

Even in the Western Sea and the far north ice region, the figure of the demon can be seen.

In comparison, the Forgotten Swamp is actually safer.

Although there are still many evil and dark creatures living here, at least demons rarely appear... This is what the old tree told Lin Yi.

Therefore, this place is very suitable for establishing his base.

The demon race is extremely powerful.

The holy angels have all been defeated.

Lin Yi didn't want to be targeted by the demons before she had enough power.

……

"It's appropriate to go out of the square tonight."

As her strength increased, Lin Yi also became bolder.

He said to his elves, "Each of you form several teams and hunt down the undead creatures that appear near the plaza. Remember to take turns resting to replenish your mana."

Nighttime is the domain of evil and creatures of darkness.

At night, large numbers of undead appear in the ruins, which is rarely seen during the day, at least in the inner city ruins.

During the day, you hunt monsters and beasts, and you have to search for them all over the place.

At night, making a little noise is enough to attract a large number of undead creatures.

With a little care, you're sure to reap great rewards.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The elves bowed respectfully.

After dinner, they gathered into small groups and walked into the darkness outside the square.

About forty elves remained.

This was Lin Yi's instruction.

Under his command, the elves began to build wooden houses on the square.

The little elves are also helping.

They use their meager magic to assist the working fairies.

During the day, the elves gathered a large amount of wood from the ruins, enough to build dozens of wooden houses in one go.

Tomorrow, even more sprites will join the resource gathering work.

The timber will be available in an endless supply.

Lin Yi had also asked the system if she could use its power to build a wooden house.

Similar to building the Tree of Life or the Ancient Tree of War.

With the expenditure of some energy crystals, it is completed instantly.

This is very convenient.

However, the system gave a negative answer, stating that it only provides the construction and upgrading of [special territory buildings], and ordinary buildings such as wooden houses need to be built by the lord himself.

With no other option, Lin Yi had to do it herself.

Fortunately, the elves under his command are all professionals with magical abilities.

Using magic to cut, stack, and reinforce wood is all very convenient.

Before long, one wooden house-like building after another appeared on the square.

The elves even embellished the exteriors of the wooden houses, carving out numerous elven-style patterns that made the neatly arranged houses appear even more exquisite. Furthermore, the elves removed the bricks and stones paving the plaza, revealing the soil beneath.

Some elves asked Lin Yi for permission to plant some flowers and green grass around the wooden house to beautify the living environment... Naturally, Lin Yi granted their request, as he also wanted his territory to be beautiful.

……

It was late at night.

The elves built more than fifty wooden houses in total.

Each wooden house has two floors, with three rooms on each floor, so it's no problem for a dozen or so elves to squeeze in.

"For now, let's build a wooden house like this."

"We will consider planning and rebuilding after we have occupied the inner city and even the entire ruins."

His territory will certainly not be like it is now in the future.

All buildings must be exquisite and perfect.

He not only wanted to build a powerful territory, but also to make it the most beautiful place on the entire Dark Continent. Even the roadside weeds had to grow beautifully.

……

Another new day has begun.

The elves' nighttime harvest has been tallied.

In total, more than 9,000 energy crystals were harvested, and it is roughly estimated that more than 20,000 undead creatures were killed.

The undead that appeared near the square were mostly cleared away by the elves.

However, this was only last night.

Tonight, new undead will appear in this area. As long as the evil and dark forces beneath the ruins are not cleared, the undead will continue to be born.

Even the old tree doesn't know how many bones are buried beneath the ruins.

It includes not only elves, but also other intelligent creatures of other races.

Humans, dwarves, orcs, goblins, and so on.

This place is not only the capital of the Elf Empire, but also a very important battlefield where the allied forces of various races resisted the invasion of demons and evil creatures.

Over the years, if the old tree hadn't been expending its power to suppress the evil and dark forces beneath the earth, the number of undead creatures born would have been many more, more than a hundred times greater.

The more than nine thousand energy crystals harvested were, as usual, used by Lin Yi to train the elven swordsmen and elven archers.

They obtained nearly two hundred elven units.

By this time, the number of elven units under his command had reached more than five hundred.

Task 1 is halfway complete.

Lin Yi plans to upgrade the War Tree and unlock new unit types after completing Mission One. After all, upgrading the War Tree consumes a large amount of energy crystals, which will delay his mission completion time.

The reward for Mission 1 is to unlock the [Fountain of Magic], a building he desperately needs.

the reason is simple.

The elven spring water, condensed from the magic spring, can quickly restore the magic power of elven units.

This indirectly improves their hunting efficiency.

If there are any injured elves, their injuries can be quickly healed through the elf spring water.

"Barring any unforeseen circumstances."

"Today's hunting spoils are enough for me to gather a thousand elven troops!"

Compared to just over a hundred elven troops hunting yesterday, the number of elven troops has quadrupled today, so the harvest will naturally be much greater.

……

In the morning, after the elves left the territory in groups, Lin Yi also prepared to begin his new day of hunting.

Before that, he had conceived the little sprites of the new day.

By this time, the number of sprites in his territory had reached more than 1,600.

Looking at the countless tiny fairies that shimmered like starlight, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a surge of pride.

Once he trains all these sprites, he will have an elf army of over two thousand, and he will soon be able to reclaim the ruins of the ancient city.
