Chapter 1106: Chapter 440 World War II
Zhou Tian was not encountering NPC demigods for the first time, and he was thoroughly familiar with their strength and tactics. After all, if it really came down to it, Zhou Tian had engaged in numerous battles with them. Thus, based on the situation at the time and facing actions of those NPC demigods, Zhou Tian was not worried at all.
Since he dared to use such tactics against those NPC demigods, Zhou Tian should have anticipated the current situation. Not only had he made such arrangements, but he had also nearly drawn all the elite monsters into the city. Without proper preparations, how could Zhou Tian allow so many of his elites to fall into crisis?
Therefore, with Zhou Tian’s preparations in place, no matter how destructive the actions of those NPC demigods were, if they thought their methods would be effective, they were greatly underestimating Zhou Tian.
Zhou Tian indeed was unable to block that group of NPC demigods, but it was precisely because he knew he couldn’t truly stop all of those NPC demigods. Therefore, while preparing to combat those NPC demigods, Zhou Tian had already considered which methods to use to block their destruction. Otherwise, no matter how much Zhou Tian prepared, given the strength of those NPC demigods, if they attacked his city a few times when they felt like it, he guessed that no matter how much he prepared, it would eventually be destroyed by such attacks.
So, not only did Zhou Tian take hold of that main city, but he also filled it with various defensive forces. At the same time, he issued orders to the centaurs and the Beastmen controlling the magic crystal weapons. With Zhou Tian’s various arrangements, although the attacks of those NPC demigods were powerful, they were doomed not to have much effect.
As a result, when those NPC demigods confidently thought that with one long-range attack they could destroy the city below them, they didn’t expect that the centaurs and the magic crystal weapons would strike back directly. With the collective strength of the monsters having destroyed most of the NPC demigods’ attacks, a series of defense shields then rose within the main city. Once these shields were up, the attacks from the NPC demigods fell upon them and produced not even a slight ripple.
Zhou Tian’s preparations might not have been able to completely restrain those NPC demigods, but at that moment, could those NPC demigods spare the energy to continuously attack the main city below? If they did, the city would definitely be breached eventually. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Zhou Tian was not just for show, and although he was powerless to prevent their current actions due to a disparity in strength, if they truly ignored Zhou Tian and decided to attack the main city, Zhou Tian would definitely use his strength to show them the consequences of their actions without his permission.
That particular NPC demigod had sufficient ability to protect himself, so even under the joint attack of Zhou Tian and his Beastmen, he was unharmed. However, this did not mean that other Beastmen in that environment would also be unharmed. Although Zhou Tian’s reinforcements were not capable of restraining those NPC demigods, if they were careless and allowed Zhou Tian and his Beastmen to join forces, they would also be capable of defeating them.
Unable to launch a full assault, and with ordinary long-range attacks insufficient to capture the main city, at that time those NPC demigods, albeit reluctantly, had to admit that under Zhou Tian’s arrangements, they absolutely had no way to conquer the main city he held.
Upon discovering that situation, although unwilling, those NPC demigods naturally reacted accordingly at that time.
Retreat!
Although very unwilling, the NPC demigods would not waste time with Zhou Tian, knowing it was futile. Since they couldn’t capture the main city at the moment, rather than wasting time there, it was naturally better to choose to leave earlier. After all, they hadn’t come alone; those NPC demigods believed that though they couldn’t take down Zhou Tian’s main city at the moment, once their NPC troops arrived and joined forces, they would indeed find it hard to believe if they still couldn’t attack it successfully then.
With that thought, the group of NPC demigods didn’t hesitate at all. After coming to that conclusion, they immediately withdrew from the battlefield en masse.
Seeing the actions of those NPC demigods, Zhou Tian did not stop them, for he knew well that with his strength, it was impossible to prevent the NPC demigods from leaving. And since he couldn’t prevent the NPC demigods from leaving, it was better to just let them go. After all, not only the NPC side could make preparations; before those NPC demigods led their NPC troops back, Zhou Tian could also use this time to make corresponding preparations.
Influenced by that thought of Zhou Tian, once those NPC demigods returned to their troops and before leading the NPC troops back, Zhou Tian had already issued several orders to redeploy forces to defend against the NPC troops.
