Although the thoughts of those NPCs cannot be said to be wrong, when they were making those plans, it was quite obvious that they had forgotten to consider the environment within their sphere of influence at the time.
Perhaps, in the eyes of those NPCs, the reason Zhou Tian could cause trouble within their territory relied on his strength. And they believed that if they could simply kill Zhou Tian, the turbulent waves he stirred up would naturally subside. However, in thinking this way, they seemed to have completely overlooked why Zhou Tian could attack and break through so many monster territories so quickly after his appearance, and whether there were any other reasons for this.
Indeed, Zhou Tian’s ability to cause such upheaval certainly depended on his strength, which was the foundation for his actions. If Zhou Tian hadn’t possessed sufficient strength, it is estimated that he wouldn’t have been able to break through those NPCs’ barriers, and consequently, everything that followed would not have occurred.
However, if those monsters had wanted to resist Zhou Tian’s annexation of their territories, though Zhou Tian still could have forcibly annexed them using his strength, it is believed that if those monsters had put up resistance, even if Zhou Tian ultimately managed to annex the territories, it definitely would not have taken so little time. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
In plain terms, although Zhou Tian’s strength was indeed the fundamental reason he could annex such a large area of monster territory at once, if those monsters had not cooperated, it is believed that Zhou Tian could not have achieved such significant battle results in such a short time. Therefore, even though everything at present was achieved because Zhou Tian had the strength, without the influence of those NPCs and players, Zhou Tian’s plans would not have progressed so smoothly.
As a result of miscalculating the situation, when those NPCs approached Zhou Tian based on their original thinking, it is estimated that they would likely encounter some trouble.
Contrary to what those NPCs thought, Zhou Tian did not have much power in his hands, lacking any foundation beyond his own strength.
Because the players had pressed the monsters within their forces so hard, once Zhou Tian annexed the territories of those monsters, he had effectively taken over their strength completely. At that time, whether it was their territories or their own strength, it all had fallen entirely into Zhou Tian’s hands.
Thus, when those NPCs came to deal with Zhou Tian, what they had to face was not just Zhou Tian, the emperor-level boss, but almost the combined forces of the entire monster force within the player’s influence. And if you add Zhou Tian’s special ability, the predicament of those NPCs became even worse.
It was impossible for the NPC side to know the specific circumstances on Zhou Tian’s end. Thus, they had not prepared for Zhou Tian to have such strength. Accordingly, the large NPC army, leading a multitude of players, went directly to Zhou Tian following their pre-arranged plan.
And just as the NPCs approached Zhou Tian, Zhou Tian had just annexed who knows how many monster territories. Upon learning of those NPCs’ actions, Zhou Tian let out a cold laugh without wasting words, and at his command, immediately gathered the monster army in his hands.
As a result of Zhou Tian’s boss command, the monsters he had reclaimed within the player’s influence immediately assembled at his order. After everything concluded, Zhou Tian quite naturally had formed an army of monsters that was not inferior to the NPC side.
After all, monsters were still the mainstream living beings in the current world. The reason players could easily overwhelm monsters was because of their special abilities, and NPCs could contend with them due to the monsters’ disunity. But in terms of strength alone, even if you tied the NPCs and players together and multiplied their strength by ten, they might not be able to surpass the monster side.
And now, after Zhou Tian had gathered the forces of the monsters he had annexed within the player’s influence, he naturally pulled together a monster army that was more than a hundred times larger than the opponent. Although the monsters Zhou Tian had newly subdued did not have many elites due to frequently being looked after by players, the sheer numbers of the monster army were there, and Zhou Tian could use them to oppose the NPC side.
It was not until the NPC side arrived and saw the appearance of the opposing monster army that they were startled at that moment.
Based on their original plan, the NPC side had not expected to face such a formidable force of enemies. So much so that when they confronted the large army of monsters under Zhou Tian, those NPCs immediately appeared somewhat at a loss and even questioned whether they could defeat Zhou Tian.
Unlike the NPC side, the player side felt great joy at that time.
In the players’ line of sight, NPCs were usually invincible, and even when facing monsters, NPCs could kill the monsters with a single blow, seldom witnessing NPCs being defeated by monsters. However, those players did not realize that when NPCs in their line of sight were killing monsters with a single blow, perhaps in the real environment of the current world, the casualties they suffered were not fewer than those of the monsters.
Because players had always regarded NPCs as invincible, they did not believe Zhou Tian could be their opponent. As a result, even before the battle commenced, those players had already assumed that Zhou Tian would certainly face defeat.
