Chapter 31

“Stomp! Stomp! Stomp! Stomp!”

In the forest, a large group of dozens of people was rushing forward.

Since it was already three in the afternoon, Rene led everyone through the forest as fast as possible to complete the mission and return to the territory before the sun set.

He would temporarily let go of the wild beasts he encountered on the way. On his return trip back to his territory, he would return to sweep the area.

After traversing several kilometers with great difficulty, the team finally arrived at their destination.

To be safe, covert observation is essential.

Rene told everyone to rest.

Then, he sent scouts to explore the surroundings.

A few minutes later, the scouts brought back the information.

“There are little elves too?”

Hearing the report, Rene frowned slightly.

It seemed like the situation in the lair this time was different from what he remembered.

The elves here were of different ages.

The older ones were about the same height as the 14-year-old girl, while the younger ones were only about 20 centimeters tall.

A 20cm creature shouldn’t have any combat power, right?

Whatever, they were already here anyway.

‘I don’t care who they are, just take them all down!’

Rene adjusted his state of mind and gripped his machete tightly.

Rene gave the order, “Surround them!”

He was unprecedentedly calm.

This was a battle of life and death. No matter what kind of opponent it was, he had to treat it with the utmost caution.

As for the soldiers who had received the order, they split up into small groups and dispersed.

They surrounded the lair from every direction.

In the Overlord’s world, there was only one rule that one had to pay attention to when attacking the lair, and that was to eliminate all the guards and not let them escape.

Otherwise, once a large number of enemies were left behind, the lair would remain on guard, unable to be occupied, and this would continue until the monsters were respawned.

This would be troublesome.

Therefore, Rene had to completely surround this lair and kill all the guards!

Soon, everyone was in position.

The Blazing Archers stood at the back of the army, their longbows already aimed at the battlefield in front of them. There were a large number of long-range troops among the elves, and when they fought later, they would need to suppress them with firepower.

Meanwhile, the Blazing Spear Soldiers led the team and charged at the front. All the Blade Warriors were howling and ready to unleash their strongest attacks.

Rene stood at a distance and looked at the tree.

On a tree branch about ten meters away from the ground, there was a small wooden hut built from trees.

It was called a tree house. It was a building used to build soldiers on ancient trees.

As long as they occupied this building, the players would be able to recruit Forest Elves from this lair.

They were a group of handsome men and beautiful women.

Unfortunately, in this war-torn world, good looks had no meaning.

On the contrary, it would bring them unnecessary trouble.

Rene did not give up this crusade just because they were beautiful. He waved his machete and gave the order to attack.

Instantly, everyone who was hiding rushed out.

“Invasion!”

“Intruder detected!”

The forest elves were well guarded, and there were scouts in the trees.

When they saw a large number of intruders near the lair, they immediately prepared for battle.

The elf archer on the tree raised his bow.

However, before it could attack, an arrow shot out from the hands of the Blazing Archer.

Immediately, the raging fire elements jumped onto the arrow and cut through the air with a violent force, accurately hitting the elf.

The elf who was shot had a charred wound on his body, and his flesh was burnt to ashes.

The Blazing Archers were elite soldiers. At Level 3, their attack limit had already reached 28 points. With the frail bodies of the Elves, they could not withstand such terrifying damage.

As for the elves’ counterattack…

The arrows that were shot out landed on the Blade Warriors. Although they caused damage, they were not fatal.

After all, there were only about twenty Elves who could fight.

On the other hand, Rene had brought a total of 40-50 people with him.

The strength of both parties was not on the same level.

“Blazing Archers, don’t let any elf go!” Rene issued another command.

The elves with bows and arrows were too agile in the trees. If they wanted to escape, it would be difficult to catch them.

As for those little elves, they all hid in the tree house.

They did not belong to the garrison, so there was no need to be concerned.

The eight Blazing Archers had already guarded the four directions. Their arrows were also aimed at the surrounding Elven archers the moment the battle started.

It only took a few seconds.

The 20-odd garrison elves around the lair were annihilated.

Rene walked forward and began collecting the materials that fell from the elves’ bodies.

This time, Rene only took away the parts that had dropped due to the editor.

As for the flesh and blood produced by the system, Rene gave up decisively.

Elves were beautiful creatures.

They were humanoid creatures that resembled humans the most.

If he ate their flesh and blood, Rene felt he would be very disgusted.

Unless there was no other choice, he was unwilling to make such an attempt.

After collecting all the surrounding elf corpses, Rene came to the bottom of the tree house.

Then, he triggered the looting option.

This effect did not require him to enter the lair to loot it. He only needed to stand in front of the lair and wait for the progress bar to be filled up. During this period of time, his consciousness would enter a lair dungeon. Everything he found inside would be his spoils of war.

Rene searched inside a large tree house.

Inside, he saw many good things.

[System prompt: Iron+50]

[System prompt: Water Rune+2]

[System prompt: Wood Rune+2]

[System prompt: Bronze+20]

[System prompt: Fluorescent Grass Seed+100]

[System prompt: Tree Fruit+150]

It took Rene more than ten seconds to loot everything in the tree house.

Then, he exited the looting mode.

Standing on the ground, he was in a trance for a moment, but he realized that there was indeed a pile of materials in the territory’s warehouse.

“Fluorescent grass? Will it shine?”

Rene looked at the pile of seeds he’d collected.

It looked very ordinary.
