Outrageous! I started as the Elf King!

Chapter 20 New Mission

"Put aside intensive training for now and focus on practice!"

Lin Yi arrived at the Tree of Life and nurtured a thousand little elves for the new day. Then she went to the Ancient Tree of War and began training the elf soldiers.

First, nearly 15,000 energy crystals were consumed to increase the number of elven mages to 200.

Next up are the elven huntresses, increasing their number to one hundred, consuming nearly twenty thousand energy crystals.

The remaining energy crystals were used entirely to train elven archers and elven swordsmen, maintaining a ratio of three to two.

In total, he trained more than 1,300 different types of soldiers this time.

At this point, the total size of his elven army exceeded two thousand.

To be more precise, it is more than two thousand three hundred.

As for the number of sprites, there are still more than nine hundred left.

……

In a short while.

A dense mass of figures appeared on the square, accompanied by golden light.

There were elven huntresses riding magical beasts like the Gale Leopard, elegant elven mages, and a large number of fully armed elven swordsmen and archers.

Each one of them was as beautiful as a flower and as dashing as a hero.

Among them are some resurrected elves.

Their previous deaths did not affect them; on the contrary, their gazes toward Lin Yi were filled with even stronger fervor and reverence.

He was resurrected after his death.

Isn't this a different kind of immortality?

Indeed, His Majesty the Great Elf King is omnipotent.

"Bravour, Your Majesty!"

All the elves knelt before Lin Yi.

The voice was excited and high-pitched, as if it had shattered the darkness.

Get up!

Lin Yi slightly raised her hand.

Looking at those exquisite and beautiful faces before him, his smile grew even brighter.

If all goes well, another hunt during the day will allow all nine hundred-plus sprites to be trained into sprite soldiers.

At that time, his elven army will exceed three thousand.

By this calculation, it doesn't seem too far from having 10,000 combat-type units.

"The task of patrolling the territory is now entrusted to you."

"We've just been through a major battle, so there shouldn't be many undead creatures around, but we should still be careful. If we encounter any, we should kill them immediately."

"You can also form groups to hunt in the ruins."

"Remember to always use an owl to monitor your surroundings for any unusual activity."

"Yes, Your Majesty the Elf King!"

The elves responded in unison.

Soon, the more than one thousand elves formed their own groups and headed to the ruins outside the plaza.

They have just been trained and are in their prime; simple patrol tasks are simply not enough for them.

They wanted to kill more enemies and level up.

Only in this way can we better serve His Majesty the Elf King.

……

on the square.

Some of the elves who had survived the great battle were meditating to recover and heal their injuries, while others began building wooden houses after drinking a cup of elven spring water.

The little elves all left the plaza to gather nearby wood resources.

The entire territory was thriving and bustling.

Lin Yi didn't go hunting, after all, it was already three in the morning, and it would be dawn in a few hours.

At this moment, he sat cross-legged under the Tree of Life.

Bathed in the natural and life-giving light emanating from the Tree of Life.

Physical and mental fatigue quickly dissipated.

At some point, a system notification sound appeared in his mind.

[New task released]

[Mission Objective: Clear the ruins of the ancient elven city and defeat 10,000 high-level monsters.]

[Mission Reward: Unlocks the territory troop building - Ancient Tree.]

……

[Ancient Tree: A troop building capable of training Treants and Forest Giants]

……

Listen to the prompts in your mind.

Lin Yi was instantly full of energy and became completely awake.

"The Treants, the incredibly powerful fighting race of the Elven faction, are they finally about to make their appearance?"

Lin Yi had high expectations for the Tree People. The old tree had told him many stories about the Tree People's glorious achievements.

In the sky, one can fight against giant dragons.

On the ground, it can rival Behemoth.

The treants' strengths are immense power and incredible regenerative abilities, while their weakness is slow movement speed. However, considering their enormous size, their actual movement speed shouldn't be that slow.

Furthermore, the treants' defenses are extremely strong.

On battlefields with Treants, Elves can unleash even greater combat power.

Like unicorns, treants are also good companions of the elves.

A natural, staunch ally.

"Besides treants, the ancient tree can also train forest giants."

"The old tree once said that the forest giants are also an intelligent race within the elven faction, and their combat strength is no less than that of the treants. Their weakness is that their numbers are extremely rare."

"Elf druids can also transform ancient trees of a certain age into tree people."

"However, the forest giants are a race born of nature, and the conditions for their birth are extremely harsh."

"However, this drawback doesn't exist for me."

"Once I unlock the Ancient Tree, I can train forest giants in an endless stream. Building an army of forest giants in the future will be no problem at all!"

Lin Yi was thrilled.

But the thought of the mission requirements quickly dissipated the urgency he felt.

"The mission is to kill ten thousand high-level monsters..."

"There probably aren't this many high-level monsters in the entire inner city ruins, even if you include the undead that appear at night."

"However, once I have cleared the entire inner city, I will march on the outer city."

"This task is quite simple."

"The outer city is teeming with high-level monsters!"

Lin Yi turned off the task information.

We still need to proceed steadily and clear out the ruins in the inner city first.

He then took out an item from his personal spatial belt, which turned out to be a magic book emitting a faint red light.

He had previously discovered it in the ruins of the site.

The inner pages of the magic book are relatively intact.

It records various fire magic spells ranging from ordinary magicians to extraordinary magicians, and also includes a forbidden spell.

The four types of fire magic he mastered were also learned from this magic book.

"Now, I have been promoted to the King rank."

"You can learn King-level magic."

"But now, without the old tree to guide me, I can only rely on myself."

"I hope to understand and master it soon..."

Lin Yi is still very concerned about her own abilities.

He opened the heavy magic book, found the pages containing king-level magic, and merged his own consciousness into them.

In an instant, his consciousness entered a space shrouded in flames.

……

I don't know how much time passed.

Lin Yi's consciousness withdrew from the flame space.

Suddenly, I realized that it was already broad daylight.

Apart from a group of elven huntresses guarding him, all the other elves had gone out hunting.

Time flies!

"It seems like only a blink of an eye..."

Lin Yi slowly closed the magic book in her hand.

Several hours of contemplation were not enough for him to master King-level magic; he only grasped some superficial aspects.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances...

It would take him at least two weeks to master King-level magic, and that's only because he's a Sun Elf with exceptional fire magic talent.

For an ordinary magician, it would take at least several months, or even a year or two.

"Two weeks is a bit slow."

"At that time, I would most likely have already advanced to the extraordinary level."

"I've started to learn about extraordinary magic."

Lin Yi rubbed her forehead. Sometimes, leveling up too quickly can be a source of trouble.

At that moment, a voice from the system suddenly rang out.

—[The host can consume energy crystals to quickly learn various skills. Mastering a King-level magic only requires 5,000 energy crystals.]

Lin Yi was stunned.

The system has this capability?
