Outrageous! I started as the Elf King!

Chapter 35 War Has Arrived!

"Your Majesty, all the elves have returned to their territory!"

The elven priestess Anna came to the wall to report to Lin Yi.

At the same time, the elven army within the territory also quickly completed its assembly.

Lin Yi nodded and said, "Distribute the elven spring water. There may be a long battle tonight, so make sure every elf has enough elven spring water."

His territory lacks everything except elven spring water.

More than half of the high-grade elven spring water stored last time is still left.

As for the hundreds of barrels of low-grade and mid-grade elven spring water, they remained untouched. Furthermore, over the past few days, about half of the high-grade elven spring water within the Magic Spring had condensed again.

We can't possibly use it all.

If not for your own spirit, who will drink it for?

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The elven priestess Anna immediately relayed Lin Yi's orders.

……

Night came earlier than usual tonight.

Even though it was only dusk, the entire sky had darkened.

The blood moon high in the sky looked down on the entire earth like the eye of a demon.

The eerie atmosphere in the air grew stronger and stronger.

Finally, after who knows how much time had passed...

A roar suddenly echoed from the darkness in the distance.

That roar was like a fuse that ignited the entire ruins, with all sorts of roars and howls rising and falling, as if countless monsters were lurking in the darkness.

"Your Majesty, all two hundred owls in the territory have been released."

"Now, the entire inner city ruins are under our surveillance," an elven huntress reported.

"very good!"

Lin Yi said, "Keep a close watch!"

"Yes, sir!"

The elven huntress bowed and withdrew.

……

About half an hour later.

The howls in the darkness grew louder and louder, sounding like agonizing roars.

Immediately afterwards, the ground began to tremble.

The sounds of collapsing buildings echoed from all directions.

Lin Yi looked up and saw pairs of blood-red eyes appearing one after another in the darkness in the distance, reflecting the light of the blood moon, making them look particularly sinister and terrifying.

"Your Majesty, it's a monster!"

"Countless monsters, roughly estimated to number over 300,000!"

"The vast majority of them are swamp giant rats."

"That's what the elven priestess Anna said."

Lin Yi said calmly, "As expected."

The surface-dwelling monsters and beasts in the inner city ruins have been mostly wiped out, with only a few escaping. The swamp giant rats that have appeared recently all come from the underground world.

Lin Yiben also planned to raid the lair of those big black rats.

The problem is that he doesn't have a suitable branch of the military for this kind of work.

Therefore, they can only act passively.

He killed as many swamp rats as came out.

In fact, through these days of continuous hunting, his elven army had already dealt a heavy blow to the rat horde. Otherwise, there would have been far more swamp rats appearing today, more than double the number.

Lin Yi said, "Pass down the order to prepare for battle."

"Have all the elves stand on the walls, especially the elven archers and elven mages. Attack as soon as the rats cross the trap line!"

"And summon all of your elven priests' treant warriors as well."

"Place them directly outside the territory and let them block the rat swarm's attack."

"As for the rest, feel free to do as you please."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Anna bowed solemnly.

Soon, an army of eight thousand elves filled the entire wall, forming a huge circular defensive line to protect the territory behind. During this process, the elven priests also waved their magic staffs.

They summoned their treant warriors.

There were a full 180 treant warriors who had reached the King rank, and they stood scattered outside the wall, about 40 or 50 meters apart in pairs.

Such a gap is nothing at all.

After all, the treant warriors are over twenty meters tall.

If they were any closer together, they could probably hold hands.

In addition, every treant warrior carries weapons and equipment.

However, their equipment did not come from the system's gifts, but was "innate".

Most of them were barbed wooden sticks, and a few were heavy hammers.

Without exception, these weapons are all made of wood, evolved from the bodies of the tree-man warriors. In other words, they are themselves part of the tree-man warriors' bodies.

Despite being made of wood, it is not fragile at all.

Because it contains a large amount of elemental magic from the Treant Warriors.

It's not unreasonable to consider it as a magical equipment.

Most importantly, even if a weapon is damaged, the Treant Warrior can repair it in a short time.

……

Lin Yi stood on the wall, looking up at the tree warriors.

A height of over twenty meters...

Even if each floor is three meters high, it would still be at least eight floors.

The sight of a group of these tree warriors standing there gave Lin Yi the feeling of an impregnable wall, making her feel incredibly safe.

The elven priestess Anna said, "Your Majesty, they are just ordinary treant warriors. Ancient treant warriors and eternal treant guardians would be even more terrifying in size."

"As far as I know, the Eternal Tree Guardians are at least over a hundred meters tall!"

"100 meters..."

Lin Yi took a deep breath.

It's not that he's ignorant.

He had never actually seen a living creature that was over 100 meters tall.

Keep in mind that the walls of the inner city ruins are only a little over a hundred meters high, and those were built by the Elven Empire back in the day. The fact that the Eternal Treant Guardians are comparable in size to the walls of an empire is simply terrifying.

Anna said, "Your Majesty is the great Sun Elf King, and I believe that in the future, your territory will surely be filled with numerous Eternal Tree Guardians!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi immediately grinned.

He also believes this.

Because not only can he summon treant warriors through elven priests, but he can also train treant units through the system's territory building, the Ancient Tree.

If the Ancient Tree could directly train Eternal Tree Guardians...

Let alone in large quantities.

As long as you have money, you can have a huge amount!

Thinking of this, Lin Yi also opened the task issued by the system and took a look.

His second mission reward is to unlock the troop building [Ancient Tree]. The mission objective is to kill 10000 high-level monsters. His current mission progress is 369/10000.

"The task is arduous and the road ahead is long!"

Lin Yi whispered.

The more than three hundred high-level monsters that were killed were mostly resurrected undead.

The moment those high-level undead revived, they were wiped out by his elven army.

It took so many days to gather this much.

To complete this mission as quickly as possible, we need to fight our way through the outer city ruins. If we stay in the inner city, it will take at least a few months to accomplish this.

Just at this time.

The earth suddenly shook violently.

Soon, countless giant swamp rats appeared in Lin Yi's field of vision, surging in from all directions like a black torrent.

Their eyes were bloodshot, and they roared incessantly.

They were not afraid of the formation Lin Yi had set up at all.

Those enormous tree-man warriors were completely disregarded by them.

Under the influence of the abyss's power, they have gone mad.
