Outrageous! I started as the Elf King!

Chapter 6: A Great Harvest!

The entire battle lasted about an hour.

This includes subsequent encirclement and cleanup operations.

The thousands of undead creatures that had invaded the square were all killed.

This was mainly because these undead creatures were of low level, correspondingly low intelligence, and extremely stubborn. Even with heavy casualties to the legion, no undead creatures fled the battlefield.

This gave Lin Yi and his men the opportunity to annihilate them all.

"Your Majesty, all the dead have been cleansed!"

The elven troops assembled and reported to Lin Yi.

Of the twenty-two elven units, none were killed and very few were injured, but their magic power was greatly depleted.

In order to completely kill the undead creatures on the battlefield and prevent them from resurrecting, they had to use magic to forcibly shatter the enemy's soul fire, thus consuming too much magic power.

However, this is a minor issue.

They only need to meditate near the Tree of Life for one night to fully restore their magical power.

The natural and life force emanating from the Tree of Life is of great benefit to the elves.

It's worth mentioning that...

Among these twenty-two elven units, eight have achieved a level breakthrough.

Five of them are elven archers and three are elven swordsmen.

They all reached the seventh rank.

Reaching the level of an advanced professional.

Although the other elven units did not break through and advance, they still gained a lot of "experience rewards" and are not far from breaking through to the seventh rank.

In addition, Lin Yi also gained a lot from this battle.

As a lord, he not only gains a lot of experience by personally killing enemies, but he can also share a portion of the experience reward when his troops kill enemies.

Overall, he gained the most.

It was a pity that the level of those undead creatures was too low, with less than a hundred mid-level undead, which prevented him from breaking through on the battlefield as he wished, since his level was relatively high.

"understood."

Lin Yi nodded slightly.

He instructed his elves, "Clean up the battlefield and collect the fallen energy crystals. As for the corpses of the undead creatures, pile them up."

He planned to burn the corpses of those undead creatures.

This can effectively prevent undead creatures from resurrecting.

At this moment, the battlefield was covered not only with the corpses of the undead but also with countless fragments of soulfire of all sizes. Once these fragments of soulfire fused together, and with the undead corpses as materials for resurrection, there was a very high probability that new undead would be born.

There's no need to deliberately clean up the Soulfire fragments.

Without the corpses, the fragments of soul fire will gradually dissipate on their own.

Soon after, a huge fire broke out in the northern part of the square, and all the corpses were burned to ashes by Lin Yi.

The energy crystals have also been collected.

The total number is over three thousand.

The drop rate is far higher than the vampire mosquitoes that Lin Yi killed before.

Having harvested so many energy crystals at once, Lin Yi was naturally in a great mood and immediately went to the ancient war tree to train nearly seventy elven soldiers.

At this point, he had a total of ninety elven units under his command.

Two-thirds of them are elven archers.

Lin Yi prefers this type of ranged unit that is highly lethal.

Of course, elven swordsmen are also indispensable. When facing a frontal assault from the enemy, elven swordsmen need to step forward to protect the elven archers behind them.

……

"The night patrols are now in your hands."

"Do not leave the plaza area for now. If any evil creatures invade the plaza area, kill them immediately!" Lin Yi said to the newly trained elven soldiers.

"Yes, Your Majesty the Great Elf King!" The elves responded respectfully.

When they looked at Lin Yi, their eyes were filled with the same admiration and awe.

For the trained elven soldiers, Lin Yi was almost like a creator.

Immediately, the elves spontaneously divided into several small teams, centered around the Tree of Life and the Ancient Tree of War, to guard the area around the plaza.

Lin Yi then opened the task issued by the system and took a look.

Both tasks are currently in their initial stages.

The first task involves 1000 combat units; current progress is 90/1000.

The second task is to kill 1000 enemies of level 5 or higher. The current progress is 36/1000.

"Neither of these tasks can be completed immediately."

"However, this does not affect my ability to expand my territory."

"Starting tomorrow, expand the cleanup area of ​​the ruins. The tentative goal is to completely clear the inner city of the ruins within seven days, leaving no monster untouched!"

This ancient city ruin, belonging to the Elf Empire, is divided into an inner city and an outer city.

Lin Yi is currently located in the very center of the inner city.

In fact, the danger level of the inner city is much lower than that of the outer city.

The presence of the old tree deterred many magical beasts and evil creatures from approaching.

The closer you get to the central square, the fewer monsters there are.

Conversely, the more you have, the more you get.

Especially in the outer city, in areas beyond the reach of the old tree, there are monsters and evil creatures everywhere.

This wasn't just Lin Yi's wild guess. He had used the old tree's consciousness to overlook the ruins of the entire ancient elven city and knew the current situation of the outer city.

"Once the old tree dies, it loses its deterrent power..."

"Once the monsters in the outer city find out, they will probably flood into the inner city."

"I need to develop my territory quickly."

A sense of urgency welled up in Lin Yi's heart.

Now that he has become a lord, his every move is related to the fate of the entire territory.

Suddenly, he turned his gaze to the old tree standing not far away and asked the communication system, "System, is there any way to revive this Tree of Life?"

If the old tree could be revived, it would be a great help to his territory.

【Can. 】

System reply: [When the Magic Fountain, a building in your territory, reaches its maximum level and generates Holy Water of Life, watering it with this Holy Water of Life will help it revive.]

However, the soul of this Tree of Life has already entered another dimension.

The resurrected Tree of Life will only have the ability to nurture sprites and will not be able to transform into a tree-person form.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi felt slightly disappointed.

But there were more surprises than anything else.

The old tree hadn't lied to him; it had indeed gone to the realm of the fairy goddess and wouldn't be returning. However, its true form had a chance to revive and give birth to a little fairy for him.

Two trees of life, double the yield.

As long as he has enough energy crystals, he can train more elven soldiers.

"The restoration of the ancient tree requires a top-tier spring of magic."

"I haven't even unlocked the buildings yet."

"We can only take it one step at a time."

Without giving it any further thought, Lin Yi picked up her magic wand and headed to the edge of the plaza.

Normally, by this time, he would already be in a meditative state under the old tree's supervision. But now he doesn't need to; a night of meditation is no match for killing dozens of monsters.
