Outrageous! I started as the Elf King!

Chapter 52 Chieftain, I seem to have made an amazing discovery!

Elder Teresa was instantly overwhelmed with shock.

The expression on her delicate face also froze.

The answer of less than 40,000 was so casual that it really startled her.

It's important to know that their tribe has been developing for hundreds of years, and their current population is only around ten thousand. Although the birth of flower fairies is more difficult than that of nature fairies, the difference isn't that significant.

Here, there is not only an army of thousands of elves, but also tens of thousands of little elves.

When these little elves reach adulthood, they will form an army of tens of thousands of elves.

Teresa found it hard to imagine how many years these nature spirits had developed in the inner city ruins to reach such a large scale.

There are two possibilities.

"Either the nature spirits have truly been hiding in this inner city for many years."

"Either you possess more than one Tree of Life!"

Of the two guesses, Elder Theresa leans more towards the second one.

She was new to the city and didn't know much about it, but to her naked eye, all she could see was a cluster of newly built wooden houses and ruins everywhere.

Many areas were even piled with bones.

If the nature elves had truly lived in the inner city for many years, there's no reason they wouldn't have cleaned these things up, since the elven race has very high standards for their home environment.

Therefore, Elder Theresa speculated that the inner city possessed more than one Tree of Life.

Only in this way can a large number of natural spirits be conceived in a short period of time.

At this moment, the elven huntress who had led the way said, "Elder Theresa, this is where our army is encamped. Please wait a moment, Elder; we have already sent someone to report to His Majesty the Elven King."

"In addition, we have other missions to attend to and cannot accompany you."

"Elder, please refrain from wandering around unless absolutely necessary. There are always hippogriff riders patrolling the inner city area, which is to prevent them from mistaking you for an enemy."

"I understand, thanks for reminding me!"

Elder Teresa nodded solemnly.

Immediately afterwards, several elven huntresses rode their Swift Leopards to the outer city.

Watching their retreating figures, Elder Teresa couldn't help but think to herself, "Although the nature elves here acknowledge my identity as one of their own kind, they aren't exactly enthusiastic; there seems to be a barrier between us."

"However, since it's our first time meeting, it's normal to be a little wary."

Teresa comforted herself inwardly.

The result was clearly different from what she had envisioned.

But overall, things are moving in a positive direction.

When they first met, the nature spirits attacked her without saying a word. If she hadn't dodged quickly, she'd probably be a cold corpse by now.

Just then, her expression suddenly froze.

"That elven huntress just now seemed to have mentioned His Majesty, who holds power, again."

"I heard her clearly, she addressed him as His Majesty the Elf King!"

This time, Elder Teresa finally didn't doubt whether there was something wrong with her ears.

"How could it be His Majesty the Elf King?"

"Shouldn't it be Her Majesty the Elf Queen?"

"Just like that queen of the Chaotic Plains..."

Elder Teresa frowned deeply.

A moment later, her eyes widened suddenly, as bright as stars and the moon: "No way, it can't be what I'm thinking, can it? But how could this be!"

As she muttered to herself, her body suddenly trembled violently, and her breathing became rapid.

Because she seemed to have figured out the key point.

"This matter must be reported to the Queen immediately... no, to the Chieftain..."

Elder Teresa quickly retrieved the amethyst-like petal from her personal spatial equipment, infused it with her spiritual power, and summoned Queen Ifra.

Meanwhile, Queen Ifra was rushing toward the ruins of the ancient elven city at breakneck speed.

She was also a little puzzled when she received Teresa's communication request.

"Elder, has something happened? I should be able to reach the Imperial Capital Ruins in half an hour at most."

"Chieftain, I think I've made an amazing discovery!"

"Oh? What did you find?"

Queen Ifra was even more puzzled.

As for Elder Theresa's change in addressing her, she didn't pay much attention, because she was originally the chieftain of the Flower Spirit Tribe, and sometimes the flower fairies would also call her by the title of chieftain.

Teresa then recounted what she had seen and heard along the way.

After listening.

Queen Ifra was stunned for a long time. Besides the thousands of nature spirits, the Imperial Ruins also contained "less than 40,000" small spirits, a terrifying number that truly shocked her.

"Wait a minute, you just said there's an Elf King in that inner city?"

"Yes, Chieftain!"

Elder Theresa quickly said, "I'm quite certain I didn't mishear; it's the Elf King, not the Elf Queen! Tell me, among my elven race, who can wield the authority of His Majesty the Elf King?"

Queen Ifra took a deep breath, her voice trembling slightly, and said, "Does the Grand Elder mean that His Majesty the Elf King is the legendary Sun Elf?"

"Chieftain, besides the Sun Elf, who else is qualified to call himself His Majesty the Elf King?"

"in addition……"

Elder Teresa continued, "That elven priest specifically reminded me that the leader of an elven branch, without the special permission of His Majesty the Sun Elf King, can only call himself the clan leader; otherwise, it would be usurpation."

"I thought about it a lot."

"If His Majesty the Sun Elf King weren't alive, why would she have specifically reminded me?"

"After all, thousands of years have passed, and few tribes would care about this anymore."

"..."

Queen Ifra remained silent for a long time, until Elder Theresa called her repeatedly, at which point she briefly replied, "Wait for me!"

After ending the communication, Queen Ifra's speed increased several times over.

It was like a streak of aurora light flashing across the sky.

In less than ten minutes, she arrived at the ruins. Instead of going to the camp where the elven princess Aina was, she flew straight towards the inner city.

Soon, she also encountered an elven army hunting in the dense forest.

After some relatively friendly contact and negotiations, Queen Ifra was finally welcomed into the elven army's encampment.

"Chieftain!"

Elder Teresa appeared immediately.

Queen Ifra nodded slightly. She now understood why Elder Theresa hadn't called her Her Majesty.

If the "Your Majesty" in the inner city is truly the Sun Elf King, then such a title is tantamount to rebellion. Not to mention the flower elves, no elf would dare to do such a thing.

"Elder, has His Majesty sent anyone to summon you?"

Not yet.

"Then let's wait and see."

Queen Ifra didn't say much.

Before meeting that "His Majesty," saying anything is meaningless.

At this moment, her expression appeared calm, but in reality, she was extremely uneasy.

……

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.

Elder Theresa said with a wry smile, "Chief, it's almost midnight. His Majesty will probably have to wait until tomorrow to summon us."

Queen Ifra was also disappointed.

If she doesn't see that "His Majesty" tonight, she's afraid she won't be able to sleep well.

But at this very moment...

Suddenly, a series of sharp cries came from the distant horizon.

The two were jolted awake, and when they looked up, they saw a large group of dark shadows flying rapidly toward them.

Elder Theresa exclaimed excitedly, "Chieftain, it's the legendary Gryphon Rider!" She couldn't help but be excited, as this was the first time she had ever seen such a class of elven soldiers; she had only heard about it by word of mouth before.

Queen Ifra's eyes also shone brightly.

Soon, dozens of fully armed gryphon riders descended upon the two amidst a whirlwind. One of the riders spoke, "You two are Queen Ifra and Elder Theresa of the Flower Spirit Tribe?"

Queen Ifra quickly replied, "I dare not call myself a queen. I am Ifra, the chieftain of the Flower Spirit Tribe."

The knight nodded slightly and said, "We are here on the orders of the great Sun Elf King, Lin Yi, to escort you to our territory. Before that, you must swear allegiance to His Majesty the Elf King. If you are unwilling, you may leave now!"

Upon hearing this...

Ifra and Teresa were stunned for a moment, unable to recover for a long time.

A moment later, Queen Ifra knelt down with a thud, and said in an excited and trembling voice, "I, Ifra Eunices, on behalf of all the people of the Flower Spirit Tribe, pay my respects to the great Sun Elf King, His Majesty Lin Yi! Our tribe is willing to follow His Majesty for eternity, until the end of time!"

Elder Teresa, who was standing to the side, was also trembling.

Tears streamed down her face, quickly soaking her clothes.

Greetings to His Majesty the Great Sun Elf King!

"May Your Majesty live forever!!"
