Outrageous! I started as the Elf King!

Chapter 40 The Flower Fairy Queen!

Under the ancient war tree.

A dense array of figures appeared accompanied by a burst of golden light; these were the elven soldiers trained by Lin Yi.

Among them, the most numerous were the Elf Archers, totaling a full thousand.

Next were the elven priests, numbering one hundred and forty.

These 140 elven priests consumed a full 280,000 energy crystals from Lin Yi.

This is the biggest "business deal" Lin Yi has ever made.

The main reason Lin Yi went to such great lengths to train these elven priestesses was because of their ability to summon treant warriors.

He now has two hundred elven priests.

It can summon a full six hundred treant warriors.

If all the summons are made from ancient trees that are three hundred years old, that would be a total of six hundred king-level troops. These are all freebies, it's incredibly tempting.

One more thing.

Treant warriors are very suitable for positional warfare.

The outer city ruins contain many strongholds of various forces.

The treant warriors are enormous and have incredible defenses; they are fully capable of standing at the forefront of the army, helping it to capture those strongholds as quickly as possible.

Take those lizardman tribes, for example...

Their tribal walls are mostly only a dozen meters high.

The highest might only be a little over twenty meters.

His tree warriors were all over twenty meters tall.

He swung the stick at her.

What lizardmen would dare to defend the city walls now?

With the immense strength of the Treant Warriors, let alone the Lizardmen, they probably couldn't even withstand their city walls.

In Lin Yi's eyes, the Tree Warriors were like heavy bulldozers on the battlefield, capable of bulldozing any stronghold with brute force.

That's why he trained a large number of elven priests.

……

"Praise be to you, Your Majesty the Great Elf King!"

Thousands of elves knelt before Lin Yi in unison, their voices clear and resonant.

Their expressions were filled with reverence and fervor for Lin Yi.

Especially those "elf swordsmen" who were resurrected by Lin Yi as a brand new unit, their admiration almost overflowed from their eyes.

Soldiers also have souls and self-awareness.

They were branded by the system with absolute loyalty to Lin Yi.

However, they also have their own pursuits and life goals.

For example, immortality.

They died on the battlefield, their lives ended, but the great Elf King turned around and resurrected them, even bestowing upon them more powerful professions. How could they not worship him?

"Get up, everyone."

Lin Yi raised her hand.

After this round of training, the overall combat strength of the elven army increased dramatically.

He said, "The army has already marched towards the outer city ruins; you should go there to provide support immediately. Also, leave some elven archers behind to build wooden huts near the north gate; I will have the elves deliver the harvested timber to you."

"And the elven priests, summon the treant warriors as soon as possible."

"You all bear a heavy responsibility in clearing the ruins of the outer city!"

"We will certainly not let His Majesty down!"

The elven priests present all wore solemn expressions, their eyes revealing a strong fighting spirit.

Lin Yi nodded and said, "Then let's go!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The army immediately set off, surging out of the territory like a flood.

The fastest were the hippogriff riders, who rode their hippogriffs and flew into the distance in the blink of an eye, making Lin Yi a little envious.

Even His Majesty the Elf King doesn't have a mount yet.

……

"Currently, I have 6,500 elven archers under my command."

"There are over fourteen hundred elven swordsmen."

"Five hundred elven mages."

"Two hundred and sixty elven huntresses."

"Two hundred elven priests, and fifty hippogriff riders."

"In total, it amounts to approximately nine thousand troops."

"We only need to train another thousand units, and the mission issued by the system will be completed."

In fact, this was Lin Yi's deliberate act. He intentionally held back from launching a large-scale troop buildup to complete the mission.

Because of his experience in the Blood Moon War, his level has also increased to the advanced King rank, but this is not his goal. His goal is to reach the peak of the King rank.

After reaching the peak of the King rank, completing the mission will allow you to directly reach the peak of the Extraordinary rank.

If the task were completed now, it would only be considered a high-level extraordinary achievement.

Although there is only one minor realm difference between the advanced and peak levels of the extraordinary realm, the difference in "experience" required for advancement and the difference in combat power are significant.

Conversely, advancing from the advanced King rank to the peak King rank is quite simple.

Lin Yi naturally wanted to maximize her own interests.

"Once you advance to the peak of the King rank, you won't need to suppress it anymore."

"After all, the system task has already set limits, and the highest level that can be achieved is the peak of the extraordinary."

"In other words, even if I reach the extraordinary level myself, I still won't be able to break through the extraordinary limit and reach the Saint level after completing the mission..."

"Soon."

"The outer city ruins are home to numerous factions and countless monsters."

"As long as the war goes smoothly, I will soon be able to achieve my small goal."

While pondering, Lin Yi entered the Temple of Divine Gift.

The hall is very spacious and has more than a dozen thick pillars, each of which is carved with different patterns, making the whole hall look very exquisite.

at the same time.

Two illusory panels appeared in front of Lin Yi.

One is the type of troops under his command, and the other is the enhanced category.

Currently, he commands six types of troops: elven archers, elven swordsmen, elven mages, elven huntresses, elven priests, and gryphon riders.

All six unit types can be upgraded.

The enhancement directions include physical attack, physical defense, magic attack, and magic defense.

The energy crystals consumed are all the same.

Without hesitation, Lin Yi selected the Elf Archer unit and enhanced their physical attack. If it were an Elf Mage, then the enhancement would definitely be their magical attack.

[Congratulations, host! Your elven archer units have gained a low-level physical attack enhancement aura.]

[Increased Strength: Doubles physical attack.]

"nailed it!"

This enhancement consumed 50,000 energy crystals.

In return, all 6,500 of his elven archers received a 100% increase in physical attack, making it an absolute steal.

Most importantly, the enhancement is not limited to his existing elven archer units; the elven archers he trains in the future will also have their physical attack doubled.

One boost, a lifetime of benefit.

"System, does the enhanced aura also apply to native races?"

—[After joining a territory, the aura will be active as long as the characters share the same class and race.]

"Got it!"

Lin Yi smiled brightly and stepped out of the Divine Gift Hall: "Now, we can go and see what the outer city looks like!"

……

At the same time.

More than 200 kilometers away from the ruins of the ancient city of elves lies the territory of the flower fairies—the Sea of ​​Flower Spirits.

The traces of war have not yet been completely erased.

You can see that a large area of ​​flowers in the territory has been destroyed, and many ancient trees have been cut in half. This means that monsters have broken through the tree spirits' defenses and entered.

Fortunately, the damage was not significant.

"Your Majesty!"

In the council chamber, an elven elder asked with a slightly anxious expression, "The Blood Moon Calamity has passed. Should we immediately send someone to the Imperial Ruins?"

"Nature, the Tree of Life is of paramount importance..."

The stunningly beautiful figure seated on the throne responded softly.

The figure was none other than Ifra, the queen of this flower fairy clan.

As a flower fairy, Queen Ifra is also petite, almost like a little girl. However, her demeanor is incredibly mature and composed, possessing a superior air far surpassing that of a fairy princess.

"Elder, you will personally lead an elite team to the Imperial Capital Ruins. Remember to be careful."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Mother, I also want to visit the Imperial Ruins. Even if I don't find the Tree of Life, I can still gain experience within the ruins!"

At that moment, a beautiful figure strode into the council hall; it was the Elf Princess.
