“As expected of a Supreme race, this talent… tsk tsk!”
Lin Yi looked at the two Eternal Night Elves kneeling obediently before him, his heart practically blooming with joy.
Both elves were female.
Their black form-fitting leather armor accentuated their breathtakingly alluring figures.
Though referred to as "Night" Elves, their skin was fair with a rosy blush, as tender and soft as a baby's.
The two women might have been a bit nervous in front of Lin Yi; their slender ears trembled slightly, and they kept their heads bowed, not daring to utter a sound.
(Just to clarify, other elves will reproduce on their own later. These two elves are twins, and they are also the most beautiful! Ah, it just happens to be this way, I'm also very troubled!)
What appeared in Lin Yi's vision, besides the faintly visible, proud bosoms of the two women, was the attribute panel that would drive all Blue Star Lords mad.

...
None of the five talents were weak.
Three of them were closely related to actual combat, all possessing heaven-defying effects that could change the tide of battle.
Even without changing professions, she already possessed three skills related to archers.
But....
What surprised Lin Yi the most was the auxiliary talent, Moonstring Hunter.
Currently, the territory's army, apart from the Light Dragon, severely lacked long-range attack methods.
The addition of the Eternal Night Elves filled an important gap in the army's system.
More crucially.
Melee professions, aside from aerial combat, could not form a synergy with the Light Dragon.
But the Eternal Night Elves were different; as archers, once they collaborated with the Light Dragon, they would produce a chemical effect of 1+1 > 2.
Lü Xiaoyou, besides being skilled in cavalry buffs, also had a strong enhancement for archers.
Once the Eternal Night Elf archer army took shape.
It would undoubtedly become the absolute backbone of Lin Yi's forces!
Of course...
The disadvantage was obvious.
"They're too damn expensive!" Lin Yi's mouth twitched slightly.
Reputation points were fine, but purple crystal coins were truly not enough!
He had eighty million purple crystal coins in his pocket, and after recruiting four thousand Eternal Night Elves, he would go completely bankrupt.
"Still, I have to recruit them...."
Lin Yi gritted his teeth, spending twenty million purple crystal coins and one thousand reputation to recruit one thousand Eternal Night Elves.
For no other reason.
Just for the archers' ability to provide anti-air defense, this money was well spent!
Although the Light Dragon could also engage in aerial combat, its average level was too low, and as a spellcaster, it hadn't even learned Holy Beam, so what kind of melee combat was it playing at?
This battle, though seemingly crushing and effortless.
Lin Yi knew perfectly well.
If Xiang Yi hadn't relied on her own strength to instantly kill the enemy hero amidst a myriad of troops.
The battle would have been prolonged by at least several more hours.
And the casualties would have sharply increased.
Although there was the heaven-defying characteristic of the Pure Land, the after-effects of multiple resurrections in a short period were no joke.
Take Zhang Fan as an example.
He was already flipping his own corpse around in the middle of the night!
It was quite scary, alright....
After instructing Wang Fugui to settle the new elves, Lin Yi pondered the issue of the archer barracks.
Military camp blueprints on the exchange were priceless, even for rare-grade ones.
He certainly couldn't let Supreme-grade elves change professions in ordinary human barracks.
"I hope Romani's territory has a surprise."
Lin Yi collected his thoughts and opened the territory interface.
【Returning Souls: Zhang Fan, Niu Ma… and 260 others.】
【Click to confirm to reshape their bodies.】
【Note: Multiple deaths of the same unit may cause irreversible damage to the soul. After the soul dissipates, it can only be reformed into a Light Guard.】
"Damn it..."
Upon seeing the first name, Lin Yi's eyelid twitched violently.
That kid, Zhang Fan, had died again!
Confirm resurrection.
Swish—
Beams of white light shot into the sky.
The warriors familiar with the process had already left the light pillar and were putting on the clothes they had prepared.
The other warriors, experiencing death for the first time, after a brief moment of daze, came before Lin Yi along with the former, kneeling in unison and shouting excitedly.
"Thank you, Lord, for granting us new life!"
Lin Yi waved his hand, "Rise, all of you return to your posts, Zhang Fan stay behind."
Everyone dispersed in response.
Only a young man remained, his eyes gleaming with golden light, his face filled with fervent devotion as he looked at Lin Yi.
"How do you feel?" Lin Yi asked with a frown.
"My Lord!" Zhang Fan pounded his right fist heavily on his chest, saying with extreme fanaticism, "I've never felt this good!"
Seeing his "condition" worsen, Lin Yi gave him a deep look and reminded him, "You, you probably only have this one life left."
"To die for my Lord is my greatest honor!"
The white rings that had formed in Zhang Fan's eyes due to the blessing had now turned golden, imbued with a hint of sacredness.
"Hmm, I understand."
Lin Yi waved his hand, somewhat helpless, "Go on, don't go touching your corpse at night, you're scaring everyone else."
"Hehe."
The golden rings in Zhang Fan's eyes dissipated, and he scratched the back of his head, asking, "My Lord, has anyone learned the Corpse Manipulation Art yet? I should have five corpses now, it's a bit wasteful to leave them in the morgue."
"No." Lin Yi rolled his eyes at him, "Even if the corpses could be used, the contribution from killing enemies wouldn't count towards the deceased himself."
"Oh..."
Zhang Fan showed a hint of regret, bowed respectfully, and left.
"That's strange..."
When the Lunar Corpse Manipulation Art was mentioned, Lin Yi also felt a bit puzzled.
He had personally experienced the comprehension bonus from the Pure Land; he had learned the Qingyuan Sword Art in one night.
After so many days, no one had managed to comprehend this spell, which was a bit unreasonable.
"What went wrong in which step?"
Lin Yi frowned.
Suddenly—
A rapid patter of footsteps came from afar.
"Boss, Mr. Zhuge from the tavern asked me to deliver a message!"
Niu Ma from the tavern panted, "He said there's an important matter concerning the safety of the territory to tell you."
"Territory safety?"
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow, thinking of the twin elves, "Alright, I'll go after dinner."
"And... and also."
Niu Ma caught his breath and continued, "He also said a new hero has arrived, and she's a great beauty! He told you to come quickly!"
Hearing this.
Lin Yi straightened his clothes and said solemnly, "I'll dine at the tavern tonight, lead the way!"
