It was time to eliminate them and advance northward.

as this was the only direction for Bayou s development in Marshall State.

As for Xiaoi and Shua, once the dwarves had sufficiently recovered, Bayou had no intention of sparing the small races surrounding the dwarf kingdom.

Understood, Chinfong and Chua swiftly departed the palace.

During this period, the experience required for Bayu's advancement would undoubtedly be considerable.

So, the best course of action was to remain within the palace, enjoying a 1 5x experience boost and expedite his ascent to the emperor level.

Ding-dong, you have new private messages.

Oh, Bayou opened the system and discovered it was from Leings.

Leeling, the progress of the forest elf kingdom has reached a critical moment.

I need your assistance.

Bayou, all right.

He had initially intended to remain quietly within the castle, but it seemed he would have to venture out once more.

By you side, however, there was no alternative.

The individual had aided her in the past, and she owed a debt of gratitude, which she could not simply disregard.

Furthermore, while the strength of the undead was undoubtedly sufficient, sending only the undead would be rather dismissive.

Therefore, Bayou casually took two liches along and set off, eager to resolve matters swiftly and return home.

Upon her arrival in Hapini Province, the city of fallen angels, Bayou immediately sensed something unusual as she stepped through the portal.

To her astonishment, in just a few days, Leelings had already ascended to the status of a city.

In the heart of the city square stood a black statue of a fallen angel.

And throughout the city, numerous flying fallen angels could be seen, significantly more than during her last visit.

Ba made her way up the steps towards the palace.

The moment Liy received the notification, she appeared outside the palace to greet Bayou.

And soon the two entered the grand hall together.

What do you require of me? Bayou inquired.

Noticing that the area surrounding the city appeared exceedingly secure.

Thus, it was evident that her purpose was not to assist in its defense.

The plan was to infiltrate the realm of the forest elves and eliminate the forest elf king.

Given that the forced elf king was of a much higher level than Leelingi, it was beyond her current capacity to control.

Therefore, the only viable option was to slay him and elevate a puppet elf to power, secretly establishing it as Lee Lings's subordinate race.

Lee Lingsy had already chosen the puppet elf, a level three royal female elf, which was the maximum she could currently manage.

At this moment, Bou could not help but make a remark.

Are all elves so strikingly beautiful? What level is the elf king? She curiously inquired, level seven royal, accompanied by several highle royal guards.

Consider these corpses as payment.

Leings explained, observing Bayou's expression.

When she noted that Bayou remained unfazed, she felt relieved, indicating that the forest elf king was no match for her.

Meanwhile, Leelings was also intrigued to discern Bayu's current strength.

Upon hearing that the adversary was merely a level seven minor Kurami Bayus that he was even weaker than the liches accompanying her, both liches were at level seven royal.

After all, as for the corpses, Leelings was obliged to provide them to Bayou since she was incapable of controlling the deceased and the living elves exceeded her strength.

Bayou then sought to understand the specifics of the forest elf kingdom, forming a rough assessment.

Wley Lingsy commanded the aquatic forces to assault the forest elves.

The elf king could not afford to underestimate them and promptly dispatched a large contingent for the attack.

However, he soon discovered that these aquatic forces were merely bluster comprising mostly minor soldiers posing no real threat.

Consequently, the aquatic forces under Lee's control suffered near total annihilation.

Yet, the objective was achieved, successfully drawing out the bulk of the forest elves forces.

Now, within the royal city, only the puppets controlled by Lee Linky remained, leaving the defenses severely lacking.

Ultimately, by revealing a few puppets to enact a scene of assassinating the elf king, she could elevate her chosen puppet to power, for this puppet was of royal lineage.

With the authority of the elf king, she would swiftly convert these highranking individuals into puppets, making them her subordinate troops is no easy task.

It requires cunning strategies.

Were it to be me, I would not have waited for the Knights Templar to consolidate the elven kingdom before annihilating the Forest Elves.

After all, these elven kingdoms are not all in close proximity.

Some are quite distant from one another.

Take the Forest Elves for instance.

Their kingdom lies on the fringes of the vast continent.

Eliminating them would go unnoticed for at least 10 days to half a month.

Nonetheless, Bayou merely contemplated this notion and did not voice it aloud.

Time is of the essence.

We shall set forth immediately.

Bayou had no desire to doawle.

This venture not only repays a favor but also promises the acquisition of several corpses which is quite advantageous.

After a brief pause, I must make some preparations.

Leings rose from her seat and departed the grand hall while Bayu reclined in his chair, lost in thought with his legs crossed.

Chapter 332.

The wise spirit king deep within the vast emerald forest lies the gathering place of the forest sprites.

These beings hold a profound love for the forest and nature.

They possess their own order and societal civilization.

Yet they refrain from felling trees or erecting grand cities.

Instead, their abodess are crafted from various treehouses.

Nestled among the trees is a palace woven from wooden vines, exuding beauty and tranquility, a testament to the extraordinary nature of its inhabitants.

Indeed, this is the residence of the forest sprite king beside which stand a robust tree.

Its leaves emanating a gentle green energy with numerous vines cascading down adorned with verdant fruits.

This tree appears remarkably peculiar, distinct from its surrounding companions, and is currently surrounded by vigilant guards.

This tree is known as the tree of agard or the tree of life.

Revered as the sacred tree of the sprite clan and essential for their propagation, noticing by you as curiosity towards the tree, Leeling patiently began to enlighten her.

At that moment, the two had stealthily approached a short distance from the palace, successfully infiltrating the depths of the forest kingdom, where the interior was devoid of any attention to these two intruders.

Do sprites reproduce through trees? Bayou inquired, her expression one of intrigue, for this was her first encounter with such knowledge.

Indeed, when I first learned of it, I bore the same expression as you do now.

Do you see those fruits? They represent unborn forest sprites.

Lee Lingsy replied with a smile, her gaze drifting towards the palace, a place she had visited before.

Wouldn't he removing this tree equate to acquiring an auxiliary barracks? Why you suddenly realized a blind spot in her reasoning? That is a clever thought.

However, it is said that the tree of life is difficult to nurture.

Moreover, if it were to be uprooted, it might drive all sprites into a madness.

Furthermore, what I have not mentioned is that the true tree of life is not this one before us.

Leelings added by you, driven by pure curiosity, held little interest in the tree itself, though she found the entire sprite kingdom rather compelling.

Is the king of the forest sprites residing within.

Bayu turned to Lee Lings, who nodded an affirmation.

Then I shall go in and slay him.

Without hesitation, Bayou, accompanied by two lich, ceized to conceal their presence and soared towards the palace, drawing the attention of numerous forest sprites along their path.

Leeling, taken aback by Bayou's recklessness, had no choice but to follow.

While the royal puppet had already retreated into the kingdom, as Bayu beheld the exquisite palace from the air, she felt a twinge of reluctance to mar its beauty.

Suddenly, a colossal fireball struck the ground, igniting a fierce blaze.

The two lich immediately charged towards the surrounding sprites, moving through them as if they were in an uninhabited realm.

The remaining sprite kings spread their wings and surged forward, commanding the wooden elements to attack the lich.

In a mere moment, one of the lich wielded necroantic magic to slay one of the sprite kings.

Lee Lings was utterly bewildered.

How could these two undead creatures be so formidable? They had dispatched opponents of the same level with ease, suggesting that they were at least five levels above, indicating that these liches were at a minimum of level six.

The forest elf king was only at level seven.

When Leings turned her gaze towards Bayou, she discovered that Bayou had already vanished without a trace.

The two liches wre havoc outside while Bayou had swiftly made her way into the palace.

She had previously instructed the liches not to summon any undead, as it would create an impression that she was taking undue advantage of the situation.

Her purpose was simply to assist, and the few corpses already at her disposal sufficed.
