Outrageous! I started as the Elf King!

Chapter 41 The Queen and the Tree Spirit!

"Aina!"

Queen Ifra cast her beautiful eyes at the elven princess and said softly, "The ruins of the imperial capital are home to a great many evil forces, and countless evil and dark creatures."

"Now, the Blood Moon calamity has just passed."

"The ruins of the imperial capital must be in a state of great chaos."

"You should stay in your territory and cultivate properly."

Princess Aina is extremely talented, but she is also impulsive and loves adventure.

Queen Ifra planned to take advantage of this trip out of seclusion to keep her daughter by her side and teach her properly.

After all, one day, the princess will also ascend to the throne of queen.

Princess Aina, however, said, "Mother, please rest assured, I will be careful. Compared to the ruins of the capital, the Demonized Forest is far more dangerous, and I have already been there three times."

"..."

Queen Ifra rubbed her forehead.

Just as she was about to speak, the elf princess Aina ran to her side, hugged her arm, and said coquettishly, "Mother, please let me go. I've never actually entered the Imperial Ruins before."

"That place holds the most glorious history of our elven race and witnessed the glory of His Majesty the Sun Elf King..."

"I really want to go there and see it."

"this……"

Queen Ifra hesitated.

Finally, their gaze fell upon the Elf Elder standing in the hall.

The Elf Elder immediately said, "Your Majesty, it's not impossible to send the Princess to the Imperial Ruins. As the Princess said, this can be considered a training experience."

"All right."

Queen Ifra finally agreed.

He then turned to Princess Aina beside him and admonished her, "You are a princess, and also the future queen of my flower fairy clan. You must think twice before doing anything, and remember not to take risks."

"Once you go there, you must listen to the Elder's instructions."

"I know, Mother."

Princess Aina nodded happily.

Soon, a group of dozens of people set off from the Sea of ​​Flower Spirits and headed straight for the ancient elven city ruins where Lin Yi was located.

……

"Your Majesty, is there really a Tree of Life at the ruins?"

After the other elven elders left the council hall, a figure wearing a blue dress suddenly appeared. The magical energy emanating from her was even stronger than that of some of the elders.

Queen Ifra shook her head and said, "When the elders sensed that life and nature energy, I was in deep seclusion and could not confirm it."

"But you, your perception of this aura should be more acute than that of us flower fairies."

"The aura did appear, but it vanished in an instant."

The figure in the green dress answered.

She was tall and slender with a delicate and beautiful face.

But she is not a flower fairy, nor does she possess any fairy characteristics.

The most special thing is...

Her eyes were dark red, and she had sharp teeth on either side of her mouth.

If Lin Yi were here, her first reaction would be to assume that this woman is a vampire.

The figure in the green dress said, "But Your Majesty, as you know, I am a tree spirit, I do not possess the blood of an elf, and I have never seen a true Tree of Life, so I cannot make a judgment."

"Theoretically speaking, the Tree of Life shouldn't exist on the other side of the ruins."

"After all, that place has been abandoned for thousands of years."

"Even if a seed of the Tree of Life was planted back then, it wouldn't have taken until now to show its traces."

"What you said makes sense."

Queen Ifra said, "However, the final result still depends on the Grand Elder's news." "If the Tree of Life truly exists in the ruins, then no matter how perilous the road ahead, our race must migrate there. Protecting the Tree of Life and maintaining the lineage of the Nature Elves is the duty and mission of all elves!"

Upon hearing this...

The figure in the green dress suddenly twitched her delicate eyebrows slightly.

She is a tree spirit, classified as a magical plant, but not belonging to the elf faction.

Just then, she sensed Queen Ifra's gaze falling upon her, and she said without hesitation, "Wherever Your Majesty goes, I will follow closely."

Thank you, we'll be friends forever!

Queen Ifra smiled, her beautiful face beaming with genuine joy.

……

The ruins of the ancient city of elves.

A vast army of elves poured out from the north gate.

An elven huntress riding a magical swift leopard led the way, followed by a large legion of elven swordsmen and an army of elven archers.

Elf priests and elf mages were protected in the center of the army.

High in the sky, large and small shadows hovered.

The big one is a hippogriff rider.

The smaller ones are the owls summoned by the elven huntresses.

After leaving the city, the elven army did not set off immediately, but instead assembled in an open area outside the city. About six hundred meters ahead of the army lay a dense forest shaded by ancient trees.

"About three kilometers to the northeast, there is a lizardman tribe with a population of about four thousand."

"About five kilometers to the north, a lizardman tribe with a population of three thousand was discovered."

"Two kilometers to the northwest, there is a sizable horde of magical monsters..."

One message after another was relayed back by the owls that had been released, with a few coming from hippogriff riders. Even in times of peace, hippogriff riders were adept at gathering intelligence.

In the central army, a group of elven priests were discussing matters.

"The owls are still exploring outwards."

"Four lizardman tribes have been discovered so far, and they are not far from each other."

"Should we advance one by one, or launch a multi-pronged attack?"

"The natural course of action is to divide our forces and launch an attack!"

The elven priestess Anna said, "These lizardman tribes are too weak in warfare; there's no need to launch a full-scale attack on them—that would be a waste of time."

"I suggest that the army be divided into four routes."

"Each legion is assigned 1,500 elves."

"Our summoned treant warriors and elven huntresses will lead the way, while hippogriff riders will provide support from the air. Elven mages and elven archers will then spearhead the attack."

"Those lizardmen are absolutely unstoppable!"

"Priestess Anna is right."

"I second that!"

The elven priests unanimously agreed.

At this moment, an elf asked, "Each legion has 1,500 men, so four legions would be 6,000. My army totals 8,000. What will the rest do?"

Anna said, "Clear the monsters and monstrosities in the forest."

"The number of monsters in the outer city ruins is much greater than in our inner city."

"This time we're sure to reap great rewards!"

"Furthermore, news has just arrived that His Majesty the Elf King's newly expanded elven army is on its way. This time, His Majesty has trained a full 140 elven priests, which will greatly enhance our army's strength!"

"Bravour, Your Majesty!"

The elven priests present were all extremely excited.

Is their priestly faction finally about to rise to prominence?
