Outrageous! I started as the Elf King!

Chapter 42 Praise to the Great Elf Goddess!

"Priestess Anna, should we wait until the rear legions rejoin the main army before setting off?"

All the elven priests present turned their gazes toward Anna.

Priestess Anna had always served His Majesty the Elf King, which made them very willing to listen to her advice.

Anna shook her head and said, "The priests are searching for suitable ancient trees in the inner city to summon treant warriors. It will take at least an hour before they can rejoin the main army."

"His Majesty has ordered that the army must launch an attack on the outer city forces as soon as possible."

"We don't need to wait here."

"They will come and join us when the time comes."

"In that case, we shall obey His Majesty the Elf King's will!"

The elven priests present all shared the same attitude.

Soon, the army set off again.

The elven army of eight thousand was divided into five legions.

The four armies went to attack the already marked lizardman tribes.

The remaining legion split into smaller groups, each forming their own teams to clear out the monsters and monsters in the dense forest.

……

Half an hour later.

One legion, led by Anna and other elven priestesses, was the first to arrive at the marked location.

About 500 meters ahead was the legion's target: a lizardman tribe with a population of about 3,000.

This tribe has city walls that are about ten meters high, as well as a large number of arrow towers.

However, most of those arrow towers have now been destroyed.

The city wall was also full of potholes.

Around the tribe, the corpses of many monsters lay on the dark red blood-soaked ground, and the air was thick with the stench of blood.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

Just then, a terrified scream rang out.

From a group of lizardmen who haul away the corpses of monsters on bloody ground.

Upon seeing the approaching elven army, the lizardmen were terrified and hastily abandoned the monster carcasses they were carrying. Screaming and warning themselves, they fled in panic back to their tribe.

At the same time, unrest broke out within the tribe.

After last night's battle against the Blood Moon, almost all the lizardmen were exhausted and mentally fragile.

Now, suddenly, I hear that an enemy is attacking...

The lizardmen in the tribe were immediately terrified, like birds startled by a bow.

Some people's first reaction is to run away.

Although they successfully survived the Blood Moon disaster, the tribe's strength was severely damaged as a result. Many people were still resting and recuperating, so how could they deal with the second wave of attacks so quickly?

Chaos reigned within the tribe.

Everywhere you look, there are people running away.

Panic quickly spread throughout the tribe.

Of course, not all lizardmen were cowards; some quickly rallied and followed the tribe's chief and elders to the city wall.

Soon, a large number of figures appeared behind the parapet.

One by one, wooden bows and arrows were drawn.

Stone arrows were aimed at the enemies outside the city.

"It's neither a monster nor an undead."

"And they're certainly not those green rats that like to hide in the underground world..."

"They are..."

The tribe's old chieftain rubbed his eyes vigorously with his scaly hands.

A look of shock immediately appeared on his face.

"How is that possible?"

"How come so many nature spirits suddenly appeared in the ruins!"

"They even have the legendary tree-man warriors!"

On the city wall, the elders and the lizardman warriors from the tribe all wore expressions of disbelief, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

They had never seen an elf.

However, they were aware of the rumors and descriptions of the elves' appearance.

Bright green eyes, pointed ears, an aura of life and nature, and a delicate, beautiful face… these are all hallmarks of nature's spirits. Most importantly…

The legendary tree people have also appeared.

The Tree People have always been dependent on the Nature Spirits.

Wherever there are nature spirits, there will normally be tree people.

Only nature spirits can command tree people.

These key factors combined are sufficient to confirm the identity of the legion outside the city.

A lizardman elder said in a trembling voice, "Although this is the ancient capital of the Elven race, it has been in ruins for thousands of years."

For so many years, almost no elves have ever set foot here!

"Where did this elven army come from?"

"Judging from the direction they came from, they are clearly from the inner city."

"The inner city? That place that eats people alive?"

"..."

All the lizardmen trembled.

For the creatures living in the outer city, the inner city is a forbidden zone.

Because no matter who it is, once they enter the inner city, they will either disappear without a trace, neither alive nor dead.

Even the dead wouldn't want to go near that horrible place.

"There's no point in saying this now."

A lizard elder said with a grave expression, "The most important thing is to find a way to make this elven army retreat!"

"good!"

The old lizardman chieftain nodded and asked, "What's your plan?"

The lizardman elder said, "This elven army has come with ill intentions and is incredibly powerful; our tribe is powerless to resist them. For them to retreat, we will have to pay a heavy price!"

"Find someone to negotiate with them."

"As long as we don't start a war, we'll give them whatever they want, even if it means giving up all the resources of the tribe."

"good!"

The old lizardman chieftain readily agreed.

Supplies are nothing compared to life.

He looked at the lizardman elder and said, "You are the smartest person in our tribe, so you will represent our tribe to negotiate with those elves. Just as you said, we'll give them whatever they want!"

Lizardman Elder: "???"

Although he was the one who suggested negotiating with the elven legion outside the city, it doesn't mean he wanted to go.

In this kind of situation, one wrong move and you could lose your life.

"What, you're unwilling to contribute to the tribe?" The old lizardman chieftain brought his狰狞 (zhengning, meaning ferocious or hideous) face closer.

The lizardman elder trembled violently: "Chieftain, chieftain, I'm willing!"

"Very good, go ahead!"

Under the sympathetic gazes of the lizardmen, the lizardman elder reluctantly left the tribe to 'meet' the rapidly approaching elven army.

When they were still at least two hundred meters away~

The lizardman elder shouted at the top of his lungs, "Beautiful and peace-loving nature spirits, I am the elder of this tribe, and on behalf of our tribe, I welcome you!"

"I wonder what brings you to our tribe?"

"If there is anything our tribe can do to help, we will certainly do our duty!"

"Her Majesty the Great Goddess of Elves once said that only love and peace can create a perfect world!"

"Oh! What a merciful deity..."

"Praise be to the great elven goddess!"

Chi! ! !

Suddenly, a piercing sound of something cutting through the air rang out.

A wooden spear several meters long struck like a green lightning bolt, instantly pinning the lizardman elder to the ground. Even in death, he didn't understand how it could have happened so suddenly.

"What elf goddess?!"

"We only have faith in the great Sun Elf King, His Majesty Lin Yi!"

"attack!!"
