Outrageous! I started as the Elf King!

Chapter 47 Lingmi!

"Where's the goblin?"

Lin Yi looked at the gryphon rider in front of her, who was wearing heavy silver armor.

Despite being clad in heavy armor, her shapely and tall figure was still undeniable.

Upon hearing Lin Yi's question, the emerald green eyes beneath the hippogriff rider's helmet trembled violently, and she immediately knelt before Lin Yi: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, that goblin was accidentally killed."

Lin Yi: "..."

His gaze swept past the knight and landed on the hippogriff crouching not far away.

That big guy also had its head buried deep inside.

It even covered its eyes with its wings, as if that would prevent Lin Yi from seeing it.

Lin Yi understood.

That goblin was probably harmed by this big guy.

Whether it's torn into pieces or eaten as food, it makes no difference.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Get up, you are innocent. Go and tell the elven priests to communicate more with the tree spirits, and to report to me immediately if they discover any unusual activity in the goblin kingdom."

"Yes, Your Majesty the Elf King!"

The hippogriff rider breathed a sigh of relief and quickly dragged the hippogriff away.

……

Soon after.

The spoils have been tallied.

The five elven legions collectively harvested over 274,000 energy crystals and over 2,800 magic cores.

In addition, there were a number of weapons, equipment, food and other supplies.

To Lin Yi's surprise, among the seized food supplies, he found unhulled rice and several bags of white rice, which was a pleasant surprise for him.

I thought it would take a long time to find this thing I'd been longing for.

But I never expected to meet him so soon.

Moreover, the spoils from this seizure alone are enough to feed him for several months.

Lin Yi called over the elven priestess Anna and asked, "How come there's rice in the lizardman tribe?"

Anna replied, "Your Majesty, they should be from the Goblin Kingdom. They occasionally trade with the Lizardman tribes, bartering."

"Those goblins are quite capable."

"It's amazing that rice can be grown even in the underground world."

A hint of surprise appeared on Lin Yijun's handsome face.

At the same time, they were determined to conquer the goblin kingdom and take over the rice fields.

His elves still primarily eat fresh fruit.

With fresh fruit in short supply, they had to drink some Fairy Spring water to fill their stomachs, which made Lin Yi feel a little sorry for them.

Now that we have rice, it's a good opportunity for the elves to have a change of pace.

At that moment, Anna grabbed a handful of rice from the open bag.

After examining it for a moment, he said, "Your Majesty, this rice contains trace amounts of elemental magic, so it can barely be called spirit rice. Once we conquer the Elf Kingdom, we can send a few elven mages who are skilled in natural magic to cast natural spells every few days. This will surely elevate the rice to the quality of true spirit rice."

"Spirit rice?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, spirit rice belongs to the category of magical potions. Not only does it taste better, but regular consumption can also enhance physical fitness."

"Alright, we'll make arrangements after we conquer the goblin kingdom."

Lin Yi's smile grew even brighter.

He then said to Anna, "Have the elves pack up the spoils and have the hippogriff riders transport them back to the territory. Also, give the order that the hunt tonight should not be neglected."

"Whether you choose to clear out the undead creatures within the inner city or go out to hunt is up to you."

"But remember to be careful, especially against attacks from goblins and lizardmen."

"Yes, Your Majesty the Elf King!"

Anna respectfully accepted the order and immediately withdrew to convey Lin Yi's command.

……

After finishing up the matters at the encampment, Lin Yi prepared to return to her territory.

First, I'll go back and train the new troops. Second, I'll get a big pot and cook some rice to treat myself.

Unlike those elves, he didn't have a particular fondness for fresh fruit and could eat it at every meal without getting tired of it.

He was already fed up with it.

It seems like he could eat several large bowls of rice even if it was just plain rice.

Before leaving, Lin Yi called over the elven priestess Anna and said, "Come back to the territory with me, and we'll rejoin the army tomorrow morning."

Anna's delicate face froze slightly.

Realizing what was happening, he quickly bowed and said, "As you wish, Your Majesty!"

"Okay, let's go then!"

Lin Yi beckoned a hippogriff rider to her.

Then he flipped over and straddled the back of the hippogriff, holding the Sun Elf King's scepter in one hand and unceremoniously wrapping his other arm around the elven knight's slender waist.

Soon, dozens of enormous hippogriffs flapped their wings and soared into the sky.

In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the darkness in the distance.

Anna was also accompanied by a gryphon rider.

It's still more than ten kilometers away from the territory, so we'll hitch a ride if we can.

As she departed, many elves watched her retreating figure with envy. To be able to serve His Majesty the Sun Elf King so closely was an immense honor for every elf.

"His Majesty is so good to Anna!"

A group of elven priests were whispering among themselves.

"Nia, do you think Anna has a chance of becoming our queen someday?"

"I don't think so. His Majesty is the great Sun Elf King, and the Queen's position is destined to belong to the Moon Elves. Anna, on the other hand, is just an ordinary nature elf like us."

"Even if I can't be queen, being a princess will do."

"That makes sense! There can only be one queen, but there can be many queens."

"Only with a large number of queens can His Majesty's Sun Elf bloodline flourish."

Agreed!

……

The dim moonlight enveloped the earth.

A small team of several dozen people from the Sea of ​​Flower Spirits finally arrived at the edge of the ancient elven city ruins.

Two hundred kilometers is not too far for professionals.

But you should know that they were crossing the Forgotten Swamp.

This swamp is not only a harsh environment, but it is also teeming with monsters.

Especially in that bottomless swamp, there are countless giant crocodiles, mud pythons, bloodthirsty leeches... and even giant octopus monsters.

They fought their way here.

Each flower fairy carried a strong smell of blood.

"Elder, Your Highness, we have arrived!"

The flower fairies looked at the ancient city ruins lying on the ground like a giant beast in the distance, and all showed excited expressions.

This site bears witness to the glory of their elven race in the past.

Although thousands of years have passed, it remains a belief in the hearts of countless elves.

"Elder."

Princess Aina, the elf, asked, "It's getting late. Shall we set up camp here, or decide after we enter the Imperial Ruins?"

The Elf Elder said, "We will enter the ruins tomorrow. Let's set up camp with our backs to the city walls. Find a spot near the breach, and if we are attacked by monsters, we can climb the walls to defend ourselves."

"I'll listen to the Grand Elder."

Princess Aina nodded.

After much effort, the campsite was finally completed.

The flower fairies also carefully scattered a large number of carnivorous flower seeds around the camp and set up a magical barrier. Once the magical barrier is triggered, the seeds will quickly grow into carnivorous flowers and devour the intruders.
