Chapter 17: Capture

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gradually, the speed of the Ghoul tribe’s replenishment was no longer as fast as before.

The battle line slowly moved from the outside of the valley to the entrance.

Zelda’s red lips unconsciously opened wide as he looked at the terrifying aura of the three dryads at the front of the battlefield.

“These…these three Tree Spirit Warriors are so powerful.”

“Great prophet, you are so powerful!”

Zelda’s tone was filled with unconcealed admiration and shock.

She turned around and cast a glance at Su Ming. There was even a faint hint of admiration in her eyes.

Su Ming only chuckled softly in response to Zelda’s praise.

One had to know that the strength of the Keeper of the Grove was the weakest among all the combat-type guardians he knew.

In the future, as long as he had enough resources, he would be able to make more powerful guardians appear in front of the world.

In fact, Su Ming even remembered that there was a super guardian who could do all three things in the air, sea, and land, and could attack and defend at the same time. Its abilities could be said to be a bug.

Even in the last moments of his previous life, no one had succeeded in researching it.

Su Ming felt that if humans had enough resources and abilities at that time to mass produce these guardians…

In the end, when faced with the attacks of the extraterrestrials, humans might not necessarily be defeated so easily.

After all, the guardian’s ability was too broken.

In his previous life, no one had successfully created this guardian.

However, in this life, he had so many resources and memories from his previous life.

Su Ming really felt that he might be able to mass produce those guardians!

At that time, with those guardians, humans would be more confident in facing the attacks of the extraterrestrials!

When he thought of this, Su Ming’s heart stirred.

He looked up and saw that the Elven Warriors had already rushed into the valley under the leadership of the Tree Spirits.

Under the destructive attacks of the Tree Spirits, the Ghoul tribe at the forefront had almost been wiped out.

The rest of the Ghouls naturally could not escape the pursuit of the Elven Warriors in an environment surrounded by mountains on three sides and only one exit.

Very quickly, the Ghouls were all wiped out.

As the leader of the squad, Teda, who had recently become familiar with Su Ming, soon came to him.

He cupped his hands and spoke in a sorrowful tone.

“Great prophet, we lost 27 Elven Hunters, three Elven Archers, and 47 Goblin Warriors in this battle.”

The scale of this battle was not small, and the loss was within Su Ming’s expectations.

Su Ming took a deep breath and spoke slowly as he met the similarly sorrowful gazes of the Elves around him.

“Elven Warriors, do not be sad for the fallen warriors. They have returned to the embrace of the goddess, and they will continue to protect us in the Divine Kingdom!”

Teda was stunned, and his eyes reddened. The Elves around him were also moved.

Zelda took a step forward when she saw this.

“The great prophet is right! Our will and beliefs will forever be with the Elves, and their souls will also obtain eternal life in the Divine Kingdom!”

Su Ming cast a glance at Zelda and nodded slightly.

About half an hour later, the battlefield was cleared by the Goblin Warriors.

Su Ming also entered the valley of the Ghouls during this process.

No…from today onwards, this place would no longer be called the Ghoul Valley, but the Elf Valley.

The Elf Clan was Su Ming’s foundation in the early stages of his career, and most of the efforts he put in were for the development of the Elf Clan.

Once Su Ming entered the valley of the Ghouls, he quickly arrived before the gold mine under the lead of Teda.

Under Zelda’s command, most of the wood had been found and placed in a suitable place in the valley.

Zelda could handle these things.

Gold mines were different.

If he wanted to continue building a building like the Hunter Hall, gold ore was indispensable.

To Su Ming’s delight, the two gold mines in the Ghoul tribe were not any smaller than the ones in the Elf Clan.

These two gold mines would be enough to support his development for a period of time.

Just as Su Ming was feeling happy, Zelda came to his side.

There was some worry between her brows, and she unconsciously said, “Great prophet, the resources and wood storage here are very good.”

“The terrain here is also very suitable for us to continue to establish our roots and develop here. But there’s one thing…”

Su Ming quirked an eyebrow and cast Zelda a glance. “What’s wrong?”

Zelda looked around with worry in her eyes.

“The environment here is too barren. Even the Goblins can’t set up camp here, let alone us Elves.”

When Su Ming heard that, he followed Zelda’s line of sight and looked around.

On the barren ground, not even a few withered grass strands could be seen, let alone trees and green plants.

The surrounding mountains were also in ruins and lifeless. There were not many green plants or living creatures.

Zelda said, looking a little angry.

“I remember that before the Ghoul tribe occupied this place, this place was full of life.

“There will be a lot of small animals here. It used to be a clear lake.”

Su Ming looked in the direction she was pointing at and saw a huge pit…

Fine. Su Ming could not imagine that this desolate valley filled with the aura of death used to be like what Zelda had described.

However, Zelda’s words reminded him.

Just now, Su Ming had been immersed in the joy of obtaining two rather large gold mines.

After he came back to his senses, he realized that the situation here did not seem to be optimistic.

If he wanted this place to become the Elven territory, he would have to make some changes.

But the good thing was that to Su Ming, this was not a difficult task.

As long as he planted a Tree of Life in this valley…

It would be easy for this desolate valley to recover its former vitality.

When he thought of this, a faint smile appeared on Su Ming’s face.

Then, he waved his hand and beckoned Teda over. He asked Teda to bring a team of Elven Warriors back to the Elven race and cut down a branch from the Tree of Life.

Su Ming then sent out another team of Goblin Warriors to the Goblin tribe to retrieve the Spring of Life.

Once he was done, Su Ming went to the gold mine.
