Chapter 1074: Chapter 429: Discovery in the City_2

Under such circumstances, Zhou Tian certainly had no other response.

Although the arrival of the NPC large army had prompted Zhou Tian to gather the majority of his monster army, in fact, the forces he utilized were the monsters he had recently subjugated. As for the Beastman army he had transferred from the rear, he had not yet deployed them until now.

Zhou Tian’s plan was to keep those Beastmen hidden in the shadows, whether to use them for a surprise attack against the NPC army or to assist in his own infiltration into the player’s main city. They would definitely play a significant role.

Under those circumstances, since Zhou Tian had decided to launch an attack on that player’s main city, the Beastman army, originally kept hidden and undeployed, was naturally mobilized at his command.

With a single order from Zhou Tian, a force no weaker than the previously assembled monster army was quickly dispatched directly to the outskirts of that player’s main city.

Everything went as Zhou Tian had expected. Regardless of what the players and NPCs thought privately, under such a situation where the monster force had already come knocking, there was no way they could ignore the threat. Given the strength of Zhou Tian’s subordinate Beastman army, they were capable of tormenting those NPCs and players to the brink of despair.

Advancing towards the rear, Zhou Tian’s Beastman army could join forces with the monster army to engulf the NPC army caught between them. If advancing forward, with their strength, there was at least a seventy to eighty percent certainty they could take down the player’s main city, which had already depleted much of its strength, thereby genuinely terrifying the NPCs in that player’s main city.

This was a display of intending to capture them all in one net! ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Based on the battle situation at that time, no matter which direction Zhou Tian advanced, he was sure to pose a threat to those NPCs and players. If Zhou Tian was determined, he might even conquer one after another, and, if not careful, this regional power might be crushed by Zhou Tian.

Under such circumstances, of course, those NPCs were naturally quite displeased.

After all, both the NPCs and players had spent a great amount of time to acquire such a power basis. Players were somewhat detached, as long as their levels were unaffected, they did not mind other matters. However, the NPCs did not think this way; the sacrifice they had made to establish their current power was heart-wrenching even for themselves to consider. Only under unnecessary circumstances would those NPCs consider giving up their foundation.

Because of the determination in their hearts, the more Zhou Tian pressured them now, the larger the NPCs’ counterattack was likely to become.

In fact, as soon as Zhou Tian had ordered his Beastman army to surround that player’s main city, the NPCs had already been unable to restrain themselves and had begun to act.

After all, Zhou Tian only had a small advantage in territory while the greater region was truly ruled by those NPCs and players. Despite their concerns about the situational ambiance near their city, those NPCs did not believe that Zhou Tian could truly conquer them.

Consequently, upon noticing Zhou Tian’s actions, the NPCs also promptly made the necessary arrangements. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Firstly, given their situation at the time, the NPCs in the main city naturally could not provide assistance to the external army. Thus, although it was uncertain if it would help, the NPCs in the main city still sent out a distress signal, and upon receiving that signal, the NPC city closest to their city had already dispatched reinforcement troops.

Assuming no accidents, it was expected that soon an NPC reinforcement troop should arrive at the battlefield. With the arrival of that troop, Zhou Tian’s situation might not be as favorable as it was now.

Meanwhile, to prevent the Beastman army from besieging the city, while preparing their defense with limited strength, the NPCs also began to use their not-so-large spatial teleportation array to call in defending soldiers from other cities. If not for the fear that reallocating their elite forces could destabilize those cities, then based just on the current momentum of those NPCs, Zhou Tian’s Beastman army might face an unpredictable level of resistance during the siege.

Of course, Zhou Tian was not particularly concerned about all this.

The NPCs were worried that Zhou Tian would conquer their city, hence their intense reaction. And according to the NPCs’ arrangements, indeed Zhou Tian’s intention to take their city would be somewhat affected. However, the NPCs certainly did not realize that from the beginning, Zhou Tian had no interest in their city at all.

Zhou Tian had brought his Beastman army not actually to conquer the city, but merely to divert the NPCs’ attention. And at least from the current situation, it was clear that Zhou Tian had achieved his objective; the NPCs, because of his actions, had already focused all their attention on the Beastman army outside the city.

And under such circumstances, Zhou Tian had already created the environment for himself. What he needed to do next was naturally to directly infiltrate that player’s main city.
