Outrageous! I started as the Elf King!

Chapter 34 The Blood Moon Appears!

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The elf Anna naturally wouldn't refuse Lin Yi's request.

She waved her magic wand, and three green beams flew toward the distant open space of the plaza.

Three beams of green light landed on the ground, and immediately branches and green leaves sprouted, growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A moment later.

Three tall and imposing tree warriors appeared before Lin Yi.

They are all over twenty meters tall, no less than the legendary giants.

Tree people also have hands and feet, which are formed from tree branches and roots, respectively.

On the upper part of their main body, there is a wrinkled human face. The eyes, nose, and mouth are all clearly visible.

In addition, scattered branches and tender leaves grew on the heads of the three tree warriors.

Like their hair.

Perhaps because the ancient trees that were transformed were of different species, one of the tree warriors even had several bright red fruits growing on its head.

That's a Flame Fruit.

It looks like an apple, but tastes completely different.

This fresh fruit frequently appears in Lin Yi's recipes.

"I wonder if the fruit produced by the tree people is edible..."

……

"good!"

Lin Yi gave a thumbs-up.

With its terrifying size of over twenty meters, it would be an absolute bulldozer on the battlefield.

If these tree warriors are placed on the defensive line, they will form a solid city wall.

The elven priestess Anna, standing to the side, said, "Your Majesty, in addition to their extremely strong strength and defense, the treant warriors also possess wood-attribute magic."

"They can both heal and trap the enemy."

Lin Yi asked, "What do you mean by 'trapped enemy'?"

Anna said, "Tree warriors can scatter a large number of seeds on the battlefield. Driven by their magic, these seeds will grow at an extremely fast speed and eventually turn into vines similar to tree spirits to entangle the enemy."

"If the battlefield is in a forest, then this can be done even without the help of seeds."

"The trees and vegetation in the forest are all helpers to the Tree Warriors."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi's eyes immediately lit up.

The old tree hadn't lied to him after all; the tree people were indeed a very powerful fighting race.

No wonder they are called the guardians of the elves.

"I wonder if the treant units I trained using the ancient tree also possess these abilities. After all, they are products of the system, so they must be quite good."

Lin Yi looked at the beautiful elven priestess beside her and asked, "Can these treant warriors also increase their level by killing enemies?"

Since it's a summoned creature, it's understandable that it can't level up.

Anna reported, "Your Majesty, we have tested it. The Treant Warriors can also harvest special energy when they kill enemies. However, their level can only be equal to ours at most."

"They cannot be promoted until we are promoted."

"The fact that you can grow is good news!"

Lin Yi doesn't ask for much.

He thought to himself, "It seems I can train more elven priests in the future. Training one is equivalent to gaining four unit types, which is much more cost-effective than training hippogriff riders!"

"Of course, hippogriff riders are not without their merits."

"Their greatest advantage lies in their ability to fight in the air!"

Lin Yi then tested the movement speed of these treant warriors.

It was indeed very slow!

It felt like my legs were filled with lead.

Every step seemed extremely difficult.

However, they are enormous, and a single step can cover nearly ten meters.

So, their movement speed isn't too slow.

In general, Treant Warriors are not suitable for charging into battle, but they are very suitable for protecting the elven army as it advances.

"Alright, put it away."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Anna waved her wand, and the three treant warriors vanished in a flash of green light. Lin Yi said, "There's nothing else. You should join the legion on their hunt. I look forward to seeing you all advance to the transcendent realm."

"We will certainly not let Your Majesty down!"

Anna said solemnly, then bowed and withdrew.

After the beautiful elven priestess left, Lin Yi began to take stock of the elven army's spoils from the previous night.

More than 154,000 energy crystals were produced.

More than three hundred magic cores.

There are also some valuable monster materials that can be used to craft equipment later.

All the elf soldiers trained by Lin Yi were fully equipped. Moreover, as the elves leveled up, their equipment would evolve accordingly, unleashing even greater power.

Don't be surprised, this is the power of the system.

Therefore, Lin Yi didn't need to worry about their equipment at all.

However, the native elves are different; they don't receive any systemic "gifts," so they need to be equipped with powerful gear. As a sun elf, Lin Yi will inevitably have countless native elves coming to join him in the future, so he needs to prepare in advance.

After taking stock of the spoils, Lin Yi went to the ancient war tree and started training.

Training thirty elf priests consumes 60,000 energy crystals.

Training ten hippogriff riders consumes 30,000 energy crystals.

Training one hundred elf mages consumes thirty thousand energy crystals.

The remaining 34,000 energy crystals were all used to train the elf archers, resulting in nearly 700 elf archers.

Soon, a dense mass of figures appeared in front of Lin Yi.

"Let's do a rough calculation."

"I now have 3,800 elven archers under my command."

"Once the Blood Moon War ends and the archer army expands further, we'll give them a buff in the Temple of the Gods, at least a physical attack buff."

Lin Yi longed to see his army of elven archers sweep across the evil forces of the outer city.

The overwhelming rain of arrows caused enemies to fall in droves...

It must be quite spectacular.

……

The next day or two.

The hunting operation proceeded smoothly as always.

The territory also developed rapidly.

The total size of Lin Yi's army reached eight thousand.

Among them, there are 5,500 elven archers, 1,800 elven swordsmen, 500 elven mages, 200 elven huntresses, 60 elven priests, and 40 gryphon riders.

There are also 180 treant warriors, all of whom possess the rank of King.

With such military strength, even if they couldn't completely raze the outer city in one fell swoop, at least within the ruins of the outer city, no force should be able to withstand Lin Yi's attack.

Besides.

The number of sprites in the territory has also surged to more than 26,000.

Furthermore, Lin Yi's own level has also broken through, reaching the intermediate level of the King rank, and he has already made a long way on the road to the advanced level of the King rank.

……

"It's finally here!"

As evening fell, Lin Yi stood on the wall of the territory.

Following his gaze, the distant horizon was shrouded in darkness.

Thick, dark clouds surged in like a raging tsunami.

The light is being rapidly consumed.

Faintly visible behind the dark clouds, a huge moon slowly rises into the sky.

That moon was as red as blood!

It was at this moment that a feeling of unease appeared in the air, making Lin Yi feel very uncomfortable, and even his calm heart began to stir slightly.

"Pass on my order: all elven forces currently stationed outside the territory must retreat!"

"Yes, Your Majesty the Elf King!"
