Outrageous! I started as the Elf King!

Chapter 164 The Dark Forest! A massive army of hundreds of billions of elves! Goodbye Wendy! (Please subscribe)

Listening to Ifra's report.

Lin Yi was overjoyed.

Once he successfully brings back the two Dark Tree of Life seeds from Wendy, along with the mature tree he just acquired, he will be able to build three units capable of summoning Dark Elves.

There were three Dark Trees of Life, one more than the natural Tree of Life in his territory.

This is truly a joyous occasion.

Lin Yi asked, "Did Wendy say how she did it?"

He was both pleased and curious that Wendy had brought him such a surprise so quickly, wanting to know how she had obtained the seed of the Dark Tree of Life.

The seeds of the Dark Tree of Life must be rare.

Even the Dark Elf Kingdom would not easily bestow seeds upon a tribe of elves.

There must be something hidden behind this.

Ifra quickly said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was in a hurry to report to Your Majesty, so I didn't have time to ask Wendy in detail."

Lin Yi said, "It's alright, I'll go to the Dark Forest myself and find out after I meet Wendy."

Upon hearing this...

Ifra exclaimed in surprise, "Your Majesty is going to the Dark Forest?"

Lin Yi nodded and said, "Wendy is probably tied up right now, and with her strength, it will likely take her several more days to get back to the Imperial Ruins."

"If any unexpected events occur along the way, it will take even longer!"

"I might as well go to the Dark Forest and bring back the seed of the Dark Tree of Life directly."

"Your Majesty, please reconsider!"

Ifra quickly said, "The Dark Forest is the stronghold of evil and dark forces, where countless powerful evil figures reside. As the ruler of the elven faction, Your Majesty should prioritize your own safety!"

"Daphne has just been promoted to the advanced level of demigod."

"With our strength greatly increased, we can definitely bring the seeds back safely."

Lin Yi exclaimed in surprise, "Daphne has broken through?"

Ifra nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, Daphne just killed several peak Saint-level enemies on the battlefield and personally wiped out an evil force's legion, successfully breaking through to the advanced level of Demigod."

"good!"

Lin Yi nodded approvingly.

With Daphne in charge on the battlefield, he felt much more at ease.

Lin Yi said, "You don't need to worry about my safety. I have mastered the power of time and space, and I also have a divine artifact in hand. Even if a god descends, he cannot harm me."

Ordinary lower-level true gods really can't do anything about him.

It would be very easy for him to walk away unscathed.

"But……"

Eve opened her mouth.

She knew that her emperor was powerful, easily suppressing the demonized war treant at the peak of the demigod level, making him an invincible being among demigods.

But that's the Dark Forest.

It is a forbidden place for all living beings except for evil and dark races.

She instinctively felt worried.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "I can travel through space using the laws of space. I can reach the Dark Forest in at most twice, take the seed of the Dark Life Tree, and then come back. There will be no danger."

"On the contrary, sending Daphne there would not only waste time, but could also cause unforeseen complications."

Lin Yi's words were reasonable and well-founded, leaving Ifra unsure how to persuade her.

All I could say was, "Your Majesty's strength is extraordinary, but you must still be careful."

"Don't worry, I understand."

Lin Yi nodded and said, "There's no time to lose. I'll head to the Dark Forest now. The battle in the Demonized Forest is in your hands. Make sure you wipe out all those demonic beasts and evil creatures."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Ifra respectfully complied.

Lin Yi then waved her right hand, tearing the space in front of her apart.

Then he went straight inside.

When he reappeared, he was already above the vast and boundless swamp area.

Looking around, all that could be seen was an endless swamp.

The Forgotten Swamp was originally called Emerald Plains, a vast plain with extremely fertile soil. It turned into a swamp simply because a large sea creature army participated in the battle there.

When the sea creatures make their move, the waves will surely be towering and the rivers will flood the land.

If the Elven Empire wins, that's fine; after the war, they can easily clear the rivers and marshes from the plains with a flick of their fingers.

But the victors are the demons and the forces of evil and darkness, and they won't do the cleanup work.

Therefore, over the years...

The once rich Emerald Plain has been turned into a swamp.

The swampy, deep water areas that can be seen everywhere are deep pits created during the great battle years ago.

"In a single teleport, I traversed over ten thousand kilometers in an instant."

"That's because I didn't use my full strength."

"With full force, a single teleportation to the Dark Forest would be effortless."

This is also the source of Lin Yi's confidence.

Even if he were to encounter real danger, he could simply use spatial teleportation to return to the Demonized Forest, or rather, his territory, so there was nothing to worry about.

His insistence on going to the Dark Forest stemmed from his desire to see firsthand the situation in the Dark Elf Kingdom and the Dark Forest itself.

This was in preparation for a future attack on the Dark Forest.

The saying "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated" illustrates this principle.

……

Immediately afterwards, Lin Yi disappeared using another spatial teleportation.

When he reappeared, the once boundless swamp area below had transformed into a lush forest.

The forest is home not only to countless creatures, but also to endless mountains.

Some mountains are even thousands of meters high, soaring into the clouds.

Mountains of this height are not found in the Demonized Forest.

Although there are mountains in the Demon Forest, the tallest mountains are only about a thousand meters high, and most are only a few hundred meters high, which is far less majestic than the mountains in the Dark Forest.

"The Dark Forest is the largest forest in the Dark Continent."

"It spans at least 100,000 kilometers in length and width." "Even if you put the Earth inside, it wouldn't be a problem."

"Further north of the Dark Forest lies a vast Gobi Desert, and beyond that, an ice field, the polar region of the Dark Continent, said to be the territory of ice elves and frost giants."

"South of the Dark Forest lies the sea, where the former West Sea Dragon Island once stood."

"I wonder if Dragon Island still exists..."

"The Forgotten Swamp where I am is located to the west of the Dark Forest, and if you go east after crossing the Dark Forest, you will reach the Chaotic Plains."

"Such a geographical location can be described as the center of the entire Dark Continent."

"It was originally the territory of the Elven Empire, but unfortunately it has now been occupied by evil and dark races."

Lin Yi stood ten thousand meters in the air, looking down at the scattered strongholds of various forces in the dense forest below, including some that were city-level strongholds...

He suddenly had an urge to destroy all those strongholds.

With his abilities, he absolutely can do it.

However, in the end, Lin Yi held back.

A small leak will sink a great ship.

He hasn't even finished dealing with the Forgotten Swamp issue yet.

They had no time to worry about the Dark Forest.

Another point is that the number of elves under his command is still too small.

Even if he personally took action and wiped out all the forces in the Dark Forest, he wouldn't have enough manpower to 'manage' it. Therefore, he had to wait.

……

I didn't think about it any further.

Following her intuition, Lin Yi flew straight toward Wendy's location.

His intuition came from the marks on his people.

Only Lin Yi, as the lord, can remotely sense the existence of the lord's mark. Ordinary citizens can only perceive the lord's mark within the scope of their mental consciousness.

Before long, a city standing among the mountains and forests came into Lin Yi's view.

"Wendy is in this city."

"Good heavens, is this the tribe she was talking about?"

"A tribe actually used a city as its stronghold, and the number of dark elves in the city was as high as over 300,000."

"How many tribes like this are there in the entire Dark Elf Kingdom, and how many Dark Elves are there...?"

"It's probably worth tens of millions!"

Lin Yi realized that she had underestimated the Dark Elf race.

After thousands of years of stable development, they have indeed achieved some level of competence.

"If I had a few thousand years..."

Lin Yi sighed inwardly.

If his territory develops peacefully for thousands of years, relying solely on the two Trees of Life currently existing in his territory, the size of his army could expand to tens of billions.

Yes, that's tens of billions.

He can train at least 30,000 soldiers every day.

Over a year, it would amount to at least ten million.

Thousands of years would amount to tens of billions.

Unfortunately, what he lacks most right now is time.

Even if we fast forward a year, he would have enough manpower to sweep through the Forgotten Swamp and the Dark Forest simultaneously.

……

After standing there for a moment, Lin Yi went straight into the city.

This city also has a magical defensive shield, but it cannot stop him from walking through space.

Lin Yi walked through the city, where intelligent beings came and went on the wide streets.

There are beautiful and charming dark elves, towering cyclops, and spiders with human faces bigger than millstones... as well as two-headed demons, gnolls, undead, and so on.

Even humans exist.

To be honest, Lin Yi has been in this world for several months now.

This was the first time he had ever seen a living human being.

Lin Yi then wandered around other areas of the city and saw more intelligent races, but without exception, these creatures all exuded an aura of evil.

It truly lives up to its name as the Dark Forest!

Good people simply cannot get in.

Let alone setting foot on the Dark Elves' territory, they'd probably be captured and tortured by other evil races the moment they entered the forest.

……

After walking around, Lin Yi had a real eye-opening experience.

In addition, Lin Yi also sensed Wendy's presence.

It was located in a dense forest in the center of the city.

There, a dark tree of life, which had reached the level of a demigod, also stood.

He did not enter the dense forest, but instead used the methods of a lord to "announce" Wendy's arrival, and then waited quietly.

About fifteen minutes later, Lin Yi sensed Wendy emerge from the dense forest and enter a restaurant in the city. He followed her in.

He saw Wendy in a rather well-decorated private room.

Even after many days, the dark elf's figure remains stunning.

Lin Yi emerged from behind the void.

At the same time, the private room was also enveloped by a spatial barrier.

"Greetings, Your Majesty the Elf King!"

Upon seeing Lin Yi appear, Wendy immediately knelt down in excitement.

Wendy looked at the familiar figure before her and asked in utter surprise, "Why has His Majesty come in person?"

She had only just ended her remote communication with Ifra when she sensed Lin Yi's summons.

At first, she found it hard to believe.

After all, Lin Yi was in the Demonized Forest, thousands of miles away.

Unexpectedly, it arrived at her place in the blink of an eye, faster than she had imagined.
