Free Web NovelChapter 1046: Chapter 420: The Final Battle
The Dwarven Boss could ascertain his own situation the moment he saw Zhou Tian, so as an Elf with slightly higher intelligence than a dwarf, naturally, she could not be unaware of the change in her own circumstances.
It could even be said that probably when their territory was attacked from behind, that Dark Elf Boss had already become aware of part of Zhou Tian’s plan. However, because she was engaged in combat with Bella at the time, she couldn’t disengage and had no choice but to fight tooth and nail on the spot until she had annexed Bella’s group of Elves.
Now, although the Dark Elf Boss had achieved her initial desire to successfully annex Bella’s group on the Mainland, by this point, she was well aware that she was basically on a dead-end path, with virtually no chance of recovery if nothing unexpected happened.
Her territory had already been recaptured by Zhou Tian, and if things went as expected, soon even the territory that originally belonged to her would be annexed by Zhou Tian. As for her allies, although the Dark Elf Boss wasn’t present to see the battle, she could imagine that those who had been tricked into dividing their forces were now likely encountering Zhou Tian’s attacks. Since nothing had befallen her location, it meant that the Dwarven Boss had surely been defeated by Zhou Tian.
Thus, with the loss of territory imminent and her allies already defeated by Zhou Tian, how could the Dark Elf Boss not realize how dangerous her position was at this moment?
Regret, the Dark Elf Boss certainly felt regret now. But she also knew that no matter how much she regretted at this juncture, she could no longer alter anything. Therefore, basing on the situation at the time, the Dark Elf Boss eventually made the same decision as the Dwarven Boss had. freёwebnovel.com
Previously, an Emperor-level Boss who disdained contacting those Demigods due to reasons of status, now found that even if the Dark Elf Boss wanted to defect to powers within the Ancient Ruins Space, she could not find a suitable target. Before waiting to establish good contacts, her power would decline, possibly dropping to King Level or even Pope Level. With such pride, she would rather fight a deadly battle against Zhou Tian like the Dwarven Boss did, ultimately leaving behind a ’mark’ for Zhou Tian.
As a result, by the time Zhou Tian arrived at the territory formerly belonging to Bella’s Elves, he saw the Dark Elf Boss ready to confront his arrival.
He didn’t hesitate, or rather, there was no need to hesitate, as he already possessed an absolute advantage in strength. Zhou Tian wasn’t concerned at all that the Dark Elf Boss could pose any threat to him. Thus, upon seeing the Dark Elf Boss, he smiled and walked over to her without worry of any traps being set up.
"I didn’t expect that after all our persistence, we would still fall into your trap, sir, you truly employ fine tactics!" the Dark Elf Boss said, and her admiration was genuine.
"Just some old strategies, if you weren’t greedy, I wouldn’t have anything to do against you either. Even if you had only attacked a small portion of territory and then backed off, my plan wouldn’t have succeeded, and it might have even resulted in my losing more than I bargained for," Zhou Tian said, somewhat relieved that he had to resort to such measures against them because he wasn’t confident he could defeat the allied army of those two opponents. Had the opponents truly stopped after capturing a small slice of territory, Zhou Tian would have most likely been helpless against them.
The Dark Elf Boss knew this truth, but after a bitter smile, she simply said, "That may be true, but when such an opportunity is presented, I suppose not everyone can resist the temptation!"
"Indeed, I would have been fooled as well. But it’s precisely because I knew you would be fooled that I came up with this plan. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have needed to risk setting up a plot against you."
"You managed to plot against those pretentious guys too, didn’t you!"
"Indeed," Zhou Tian admitted, perhaps too excited, he didn’t shy away from explaining his plans to the Dark Elf Boss. After hearing her words, he immediately admitted, "Bella has helped me quite a bit in the past, and I can say she is one of my more trustworthy friends. Because of our relationship, even though I urgently needed to expand my territory, I couldn’t move against her. Therefore, when I made this plan and thought of separating you and the dwarves, I made such arrangements. Now that Bella’s group of Elves has been annexed by you, after I annex you as well, this Mainland will be completely in my hands."
"Phew!" After hearing Zhou Tian’s explanation, the Dark Elf Boss took a deep breath and then looked at Zhou Tian and responded, "Losing to you is not unjust. I’m not interested in being a thug in another plane. Let’s just have one last battle! I hope you give it your full strength so that I at least know the true power of my opponent in the end."
