Outrageous! I started as the Elf King!

Chapter 126 A Bountiful Harvest! The Guardians of the Eternal Treants! The Rapidly Expanding Elf Army! (Two-in-One)

Lin Yi's figure flickered.

They instantly appeared under the ancient tree in the Territory Wars.

A moment later, the bone dragon Sera, who had transformed into human form, appeared before him.

It was obvious that Bone Dragon Sera was momentarily stunned when she saw Lin Yi.

However, it quickly realized what was happening and respectfully bowed to Lin Yi: "Congratulations, Your Majesty the Elf King, on your advancement to the peak of the Saint rank!"

It couldn't help but marvel at how terrifyingly fast His Majesty the Elf King's advancement was.

It is still only at the low-level Saint rank.

During this period, its level and strength have not improved in the slightest.

His Majesty the Elf King, however, has made continuous breakthroughs and is now at the peak of the Saint rank, three realms higher than me.

"That's also because I haven't gone hunting these past few days."

"I've been focusing on building teleportation arrays and magical defensive shields, so my strength hasn't increased. But once I reincarnate as a lich, I'm sure I'll experience a huge boost!"

Bone Dragon Sera thought to herself.

Lin Yi turned her gaze towards her and asked, "I sensed magical energy surging from all directions within the inner city just now. Has the magical defensive shield been successfully created?"

Bone Dragon Sera quickly replied, "Your Majesty, it's almost finished. We were just doing a test, and the results were quite good. I'll make some more adjustments later, and there shouldn't be any problems."

"Thanks a lot."

Lin Yi nodded approvingly.

The Bone Dragon Sera made significant contributions to the territory.

Without it, the teleportation array in the territory could not have been set up.

Another point is the magical defensive shield. Although there are relevant blueprints from the Lizardman Kingdom, the experience and guidance of Bone Dragon Sera are also crucial.

Bone Dragon Sera quickly replied, "It is Sera's honor to serve His Majesty!"

Lin Yi smiled.

He then inquired about the current state of the territory from Bone Dragon Sera.

Bone Dragon Sera said, "Everything is normal in the territory and the Lake Island stronghold. Chieftain Ifra and others came over when His Majesty was in seclusion..."

"Also, Sophia is here."

"I had something to report to you, but seeing that you were meditating, she returned to the lake island base."

Lin Yi asked, "Did they say what it was about?"

Bone Dragon Sera said, "According to Sophia, her Storm Legion accidentally captured a vampire while hunting. It wasn't a high-level one, but it was sent by the vampire clan of the Demon Forest to gather information about us."

Lin Yi asked, "Did you get anything out of them?"

Bone Dragon Sera shook her head and said, "That vampire is very tight-lipped. Apart from knowing that he comes from the Demonized Forest, there is no other valuable information."

Lin Yi said, "Even the tightest mouth can be pried open."

"Tell Sofia not to hold back."

"If you can't figure it out, go find Bazelt. Even if you kill him and turn him into an undead creature, you can still get the same information from him."

"clear!"

Bone Dragon Sera immediately obeyed.

He thought to himself that His Majesty was quite straightforward and blunt.

Previously, the octopus monster Bazelt was also stubborn, preferring to kill itself rather than reveal information about its master. In the end, it was personally resurrected by His Majesty the Elf King as an undead servant, and it regurgitated everything.

At this moment, the bone dragon Sera suddenly said with anticipation, "Your Majesty, I have now mastered the secret technique of lich rebirth, and the success rate is definitely not low."

"good!"

Lin Yi nodded slightly and said, "After I've taken care of things in the territory, we'll go to the Lake Island outpost to reincarnate you there. You should also go and adjust your magic defense shield now, and come find me later."

"Yes, Your Majesty the Elf King!"

Bone Dragon Sera retreated, filled with excitement.

……

After the bone dragon Sera left.

Lin Yi arrived at the territory warehouse.

Upon opening the warehouse door, he immediately saw mountains of energy crystals.

These energy crystals are the harvest of the territory and the lake island stronghold over the past two days.

And everything has been counted.

Secretary Anna also placed a photo stone for Lin Yi, informing her of the exact number of energy crystals and other related spoils of war.

Besides the energy crystals, the two elven armies also discovered many other valuable items in the swamp area.

There are magic gems with various attributes.

There are also a large number of high-level magic potions and magic metals.

This is only because the swamp area hasn't been fully developed yet. Once the octopus monster Bazelt makes his move and fully develops the swamp area, the treasures obtained will definitely be even greater.

Just like a pearl in a swamp, it is hidden in the deep waters of the swamp.

Developing such "hidden resources" requires the expertise of professionals.

"Twelve million three hundred thousand energy crystals!"

After reading the message Anna left behind, Lin Yi couldn't help but take a breath.

Unexpectedly, in just over a day without using energy crystals, the number of energy crystals accumulated to such a terrifying level. This is the first time in all the time that he has accumulated more than ten million energy crystals in his territory.

"This time I can really let loose."

Lin Yi then went to the Tree of Life and the original body of the old tree and nurtured the little elves of the new day.

In an instant, another 30,000 little sprites were added.

Including what he had before, the number of Pokémon he now owns has exceeded 100,000, reaching over 110,000.

If all these sprites were trained into elven soldiers, his elven army would reach an astonishing 250,000 in total.

An army of 250,000!

This is a major breakthrough for his territory.

"Let's upgrade the Ancient Tree and Moon Lake first."

"The Ancient Tree is now a mid-level building."

"Upgrading to the advanced level requires 500,000 energy crystals."

"Moon Lake is a high-level building, and it requires one million energy crystals to upgrade to the top level."

Lin Yi thought for a moment.

They decided to upgrade both the Ancient Tree and Moon Lake to top-tier buildings at once.

This not only increases the daily training amount for Ancient Treant Warriors, Forest Giants, and Unicorns, but also increases their chances of evolving.

Soon, the upgrades to the two territory-specific troop buildings were completed.

Once you reach the top level, the Ancient Tree can summon one hundred Ancient Treant Warriors and one hundred Forest Giants each day, and Moon Lake can also summon one hundred Unicorns.

Another factor is their evolutionary probability.

All of them increased to 10%.

Previously, when Moon Lake was an advanced building, the evolution probability was five percent.

Now that you've reached the top level, the probability of evolution has doubled.

"Now it's up to my luck!"

Lin Yi arrived at the foot of the Ancient Tree and opened the summoning information panel.

Without the slightest hesitation, at the cost of consuming two million energy crystals, he summoned one hundred ancient treant warriors and one hundred forest giants respectively.

To be honest, he hasn't summoned these two unit types much lately.

Especially the ancient tree warriors.

Because a large number of elven priests have advanced to the transcendent level, each of them can transform five ancient treant warriors, which is equivalent to saving 50,000 energy crystals.

Seeing this, Lin Yi did not attempt to summon anything from the Ancient Tree.

But this time the situation is different.

The probability of unit evolution has been greatly increased.

He wanted to see if he could evolve an even more powerful Eternal Tree Guardian.

For an elven priest to transform a treant of this level, not only must their level reach the Saint rank, but they must also use an ancient tree that is at least three thousand years old for the transformation.

Throughout the entire inner city, there are only a handful of ancient trees that are three thousand years old.

As for the outer city, there wasn't a single one.

They were already ravaged by those evil creatures.

Therefore, relying on elven priests to mass-produce Eternal Treant Guardians is not very realistic, unless one can find an ancient ruin that has not been explored.

"I imagine there should be some in the Demonized Forest..."

Just as she was thinking, one enormous figure after another appeared in Lin Yi's field of vision.

Ancient tree warrior, standing fifty meters tall.

The forest giant is relatively small, but it is still thirty meters tall.

Regardless of which one it is, it is undoubtedly a colossal behemoth for Lin Yi.

Then, golden light appeared out of thin air again.

It may envelop ancient treant warriors, or it may envelop forest giants.

Lin Yi knew that it was the light of evolution!

Sure enough, a system notification appeared immediately.

—[Congratulations, host. Of the ancient treant warriors and forest giants you summoned, thirteen ancient treant warriors and seven forest giants have achieved bloodline evolution.]

—[You have gained thirteen Eternal Treant Guardians and seven Mammoth Giant Heavy Cavalry.]

……

"The increased probability really makes a difference!" Lin Yixin exclaimed with delight.

He then turned his gaze to the thirteen ancient tree warriors that were evolving.

It didn't take long.

Soon, the golden light dissipated.

A group of figures, even more terrifying than the mammoth giant heavy cavalry, appeared in Lin Yi's field of vision, causing Lin Yi to gasp in shock.

"My secretary wasn't exaggerating!"

"This size definitely exceeds 100 meters!"

"Its height is almost comparable to that of the inner city walls..."

When Lin Yi looked at those Eternal Tree Guardians, she had to tilt her head back high.

Those thirteen eternal tree guardians, facing the ancient tree warriors and forest giants present, could certainly be called 'giants' as well.

To exaggerate a bit, in their presence, those ancient tree warriors and forest giants seemed like children.

After all, even the ancient tree warriors, which are fifty meters tall, are only half their height.

Then there are those seven mammoth giant heavy cavalrymen...

They also appear considerably smaller than the Eternal Tree Guardians.

Even the mammoth giant heavy cavalry was only seventy meters tall.

"That size is just outrageous!"

"No wonder they're said to be able to tear dragons apart with their bare hands!"

In addition to their terrifying size, each Eternal Tree Guardian is also dressed in heavy armor and wields a colossal shield.

As for weapons, they are diverse.

There were spears, hammers, and maces, among other things.

That physique, that equipment...

Just standing there, he exudes an invincible aura.

Lin Yi was also deeply shaken by what she saw.

It even feels like with the Eternal Tree Guardian, dragons and such seem unimportant.

The dragon's fame is largely due to its immense popularity.

In terms of combat power, they are no match for the Eternal Tree Guardians at the same level.

Of course, this refers to common dragons, such as the infamous Five-Colored Evil Dragons of the Dark Continent. Ancient Treant Warriors could fight those dragons for three hundred rounds in a one-on-one battle.

Some rare dragons are quite powerful.

For example, rare time dragons, space dragons, and destiny dragons, etc.

In addition, the Golden Dragon and Silver Dragon are also quite powerful.

They are the royal family and royalty among the dragons.

……

Lin Yi then opened the information about the Eternal Tree Guardian to check.

Like the evolved Mammoth Giant Heavy Cavalry and the Silverwing Unicorn, the Eternal Tree Guardian's initial level also reached the peak of the Extraordinary.

Then there are their innate abilities.

There were four, one more than the Mammoth Giant heavy cavalry.

These are [Wood Spirit], [Berserker Body], [Guardian of the Fortress], and [The Wrath of Nature].

【Wood Spirits】—Summon treant warriors on the battlefield; the higher the level, the more treant warriors can be summoned.

[Berserk Body] - The Eternal Treant Guardian enters a berserk state, increasing its attack power by three times, its defense power by one time, and its speed by a proportional increase.

【Fortified Protection】—Creates a shield with a diameter of at least one kilometer, providing shelter for nearby friendly units.

【Nature's Wrath】—The Eternal Treant Guardian can put all treant-like units on the battlefield into a berserk state, greatly increasing their combat power.

"This talent is simply made for legion warfare!"

Lin Yi was overjoyed.

If the Mammoth Giant Heavy Cavalry is a combat unit that charges into battle, then the Evergreen Guardian is a defensive unit that can guard the core of the army.

With them around, the ranged units such as archers and mages in the elven army don't have to worry about being attacked by the enemy, and they are not afraid even if powerful figures come down from the sky.

A shield with a diameter of at least one kilometer—how many elven archers and elven mages would that cover?

As expected of the 'Guardian'.

Of course, the fighting power of the Eternal Tree Guardians should not be underestimated.

A berserk body is enough to turn them into a deadly weapon on the battlefield.

All I can say is that the long-awaited [Eternal Treant Guardian] did not disappoint Lin Yi, and he was very satisfied with this evolved top-tier unit.

"It seems I'll have to come to the Ancient Tree more often to summon things in the future."

"It's a bit pricey..."

"But if we can evolve the Eternal Treant Guardians and the Mammoth Giant Heavy Cavalry, then it's worth it!"

……

"Praise be to the great Elf King!"

A group of enormous creatures bowed respectfully to Lin Yi.

Although the total number was only two hundred, their imposing presence and terrifying size made them even more formidable than an army of twenty thousand.

Lin Yi was even more satisfied.

The two million summoning fee was well spent!

He then dispatched this elite force to the swampy region outside the ruins to fight alongside Anna's elven army. With their addition, they could even withstand enemies of the Saint rank.

Afterwards, Lin Yi went to Moon Lake.

One million energy crystals were used to summon one hundred unicorns.

Nine of them evolved into Silverwing Unicorns.

As usual, he dispatched these unicorns to the lake island outpost, allowing them to join the Storm Legion led by Sophia.

To date, he owns 250 unicorns, including more than a dozen Silverwing Unicorns of "Beast King" level.

"This wave of building upgrades and troop summons cost a whopping 5.5 million energy crystals!"

Looking at the number of energy crystals in my hand, which seemed to plummet like a cliff...

Lin Yi's lips twitched slightly.

This whole operation was incredibly satisfying.

However, the energy crystals are indeed consumed very quickly.

Fortunately, the Ancient Tree and Moon Lake have been upgraded to top-tier buildings, so we no longer need to spend energy crystals on them; we can just focus on summoning troops.

Lin Yi returned to her territory.

At the Ancient Tree of War, the remaining nearly seven million energy crystals were completely consumed in one go.

They trained 40,000 elven archers, 20,000 elven swordsmen, 4,000 elven mages, and 1,400 elven huntresses...

This time, he did not enhance the troops in the Temple of Gods.

Instead, they trained all the energy crystals into military units.

Because it's enough for now.

Moreover, clearing the swampy waters requires a large-scale military force.

This training session has concluded.

The size of the elven army also increased dramatically in an instant.

Specifically, there were 150,000 elven archers, 30,000 elven swordsmen, 10,000 elven mages, 5,000 elven huntresses, 1,000 elven priests, 500 hippogriff riders, 400 elven druids, 250 unicorns, and hundreds of ancient treant warriors and forest giants.

In addition, there's the Flower Fairy Legion.

And the treant warriors and ancient treant warriors summoned by the elven priests.

The total size of Lin Yi's elven army directly exceeded 200,000.

As far as Lin Yi's territory is concerned.

This is also a completely new level.

In this forgotten swamp, an army of two hundred thousand might not seem like much.

After all, even a small lizardman kingdom dispatched an army of millions to fight.

However, when this army of 200,000 is an elven force, and includes thousands of extraordinary powerhouses, tens of thousands of king-level professionals, and a large number of top-tier troops, its significance is quite different.

Even if ten lizardman kingdoms sent a million-strong army, they would be swept away.

……

Lin Yi dispatched all the newly trained elven troops.

They didn't teleport back to the lake island outpost.

Instead, all hunting was arranged around the ruins of the ancient elven city.

This is his base camp, and there are still large areas of swampy land around it that haven't been cleared. Let them hunt around here first to level up and increase their strength. It won't be too late to teleport there all at once when we attack the Demonized Forest later.

Soon after.

Bone Dragon Sera also completed the final adjustments to the magic defense shield.

A semi-transparent shield covered the entire inner city.

After about half a minute, the shield disappeared. But it didn't really disappear; it was just invisible to the naked eye.

If invaded by foreign enemies, it will reappear.

According to the bone dragon Sera, the magical defensive shield it set up is one level higher than that of the lizardman kingdom, reaching the level of a mid-grade shield, and can withstand attacks from a saint-level expert when its energy is abundant.

Lin Yi naturally offered verbal encouragement and praise in response.

After the bone dragon Sera arrived, the two of them teleported directly to the lake island stronghold via the teleportation array.
