Chapter 13: Bathing
"Water of life?!" Agatha and the three elven army captains exclaimed in unison.
Leon asked, "Do you also know something about the water of life?"
Agatha hurriedly responded, "Your Majesty, the water of life is the source of life and magic for us Nature elves. It is a legendary holy thing! According to the records of the elves, it can only be found in the holy land of our Nature elves, Goddess Lake. Only in the center will a small amount of water of life condense. Since our ancestors left the Lake of Goddess, our Nature elves have never had the water of life again."
Leon suddenly recollected something. There was indeed such a record in elven literature, but he didn't think of it right away.
Usmarie asked, "Your Majesty, how much water of life can the moonwell condense? If the amount is not large, I think it should be stored for emergencies."
"Come with me!" Leon took the four elves to the side of the moonwell and pointed to the bottom of the well. "Why don't you see for yourself!"
Upon seeing the amount of water of life, Agatha and the three elven army commanders took a breath in an instant. The moonwell was full of water of life.
Though the depth of the moonwell is unknown, its diameter is ten meters. This alone indicates that the amount of water of life in it is incredible.
Leon said, "The water of life here can supply 10,000 elves with half a year's worth of daily drinking. Moreover, the moonwell is constantly condensing the water of life at all times, so you can rest assured that our water of life is enough to drink almost endlessly. In the worst case, if it stops supplying, I'll simply build another moonwell."
Agatha and the three elven army captains were immediately dumbfounded upon hearing this.
"Your Majesty, can you build another moonwell?"
"As long as you have enough gold coins, even if you use the water of life for bathing, it will not be a problem."
"Your Majesty!"
The cheeks of the four beautiful elves flushed immediately.
When did the pure elves hear such words, especially from the mouth of the elven king?
Leon smiled and said, "Don't be shy, I also take baths."
The beautiful elves blushed in embarrassment.
Fortunately, Leon changed the subject in time.
"Usmarie, our tribe's number has increased several times and will continue to grow more and more in the future. You need to make arrangements as soon as possible and build as many houses as you can."
Usmarie blushed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will do it immediately."
Leon nodded and opened his template:
[Host: Melmiren·Leon] [Identity: The Elf King of Nature Elves] [Stage position: Early stage of the seventh stage] [Equipment: Elf Crown (Seal Artifact)] [Unlocked buildings: Tree of Life, Ancient Tree of War, Moon Well] [Subordinate Legion: 2105 Elf Archers, 1340 Elf Huntresses, 40 Elf Wizards, 19 Elf Swordsmen, 10 Mountain Giants, 10 Ballistas] [Gold Coins: 0]
"There are only more than three thousand elven warriors. If we want to destroy the goblin kingdom with tens of thousands of troops, our strength is still not enough!"
In the same rank, goblins' fighting power is far inferior to that of Nature elves. Their physical fitness is low, their fighting skills are weak, and their equipment is superficial. Most goblin warriors have rusty iron tools, even wooden sticks, and stones as weapons.
In a heads-up fight, the elves can easily defeat several times the number of goblins. However, the challenge lies in war. When tens of thousands of troops from the Goblin Kingdom swarm forward, no matter how powerful the Elf Legion is—even with ten mountain giants to assist—the Elves would inevitably suffer heavy losses, making it difficult to achieve a decisive victory.
"We can definitely win, but we must find a way to minimize the loss!"
"In that case, the third newbie task of the system should be released soon."
Leon's idea had just formed when the voice of the system followed in his mind.
[Ding! Dear host…]
[A cunning goblin escaped from the purge of the elven legion and returned to the goblin kingdom. It is informing King Zaza how the evil host led the elven army to kill the good goblins…] [King Zaza is also furious upon hearing this information and is ready to mobilize the goblin army to destroy the Nature elves.] [Ding! Post novice task…] [Task 3: The greedy and timid goblin kingdom has repeatedly provoked the noble Nature elves, and they have long forgotten what gratitude is! As the Elf King, it is your obligation to lead a powerful Elf Legion to teach the Goblin Kingdom a severe lesson!] [Reward for completing the mission: unlocking the hero altar] [Punishment for mission failure: none]
"Speak of the devil, and the devil arrives!" Leon sneered and secretly said, "This King Zaza is truly a timely arrival. He actually intends to dispatch an army to destroy my Nature elf clan!"
"Usmarie, gather these elven warriors and settle them. Distribute the water of life as well. From now on, the elves in the territory must consume the water of life as a primary source of sustenance and work on enhancing their strength."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The three of Usmanie saluted respectfully.
Leon escorted Agatha back to the Palace of the Elf King.
"System, begin the equipment draw!"
