Chapter 1109: 441
Strength was the foundation; though Zhou Tian had successfully dodged their attacks, having observed Zhou Tian’s performance, the NPC demigods still revealed a hint of excitement at that moment.
Given the situation at the time, although Zhou Tian momentarily outlasted them, the NPC demigods were also aware that, even if Zhou Tian could withstand their attacks, his energy consumption would definitely exceed theirs. Thus, even if Zhou Tian didn’t show signs of defeat in the short term, if they kept up their actions, Zhou Tian wouldn’t be able to last much longer.
Once the NPC demigods considered this, they already had substantial confidence in their impending victory. After all, the circumstances at that time were clearly to their advantage, and as long as they maintained that superiority, they would eventually defeat Zhou Tian.
However, just when the NPC demigods thought they had taken the initiative and would not need much time to win, something accidental happened at that moment.
The NPC demigods might have predicted most of the circumstances, and with Zhou Tian’s current strength, he indeed wasn’t a match for them. If not for the accident, Zhou Tian’s defeat was almost certain. But just as the NPC demigods thought they would easily defeat Zhou Tian, an accident occurred again.
Just when Zhou Tian seemed to be falling into disadvantage and was estimating when the NPC demigod-led NPC large army would defeat him, unexpectedly, at that moment, the NPC large army with the assistance of NPC demigods seemed to have encountered danger, and as the attacks from Zhou Tian’s held castle continued, they were in danger of defeat.
Everything happened too quickly, leaving the NPC demigods feeling caught off guard. Certainly, unless it had already happened, the NPC demigods would have found it hard to believe! That their large army, seeming no less formidable than the opponent’s despite having demigod assistance, could be defeated so swiftly.
However, once they understood the situation, the NPC demigods easily accepted the reality of their large army’s defeat.
It wasn’t that the defending NPC demigods weren’t strong, although their strength was indeed commendable, but who could predict the astonishing disturbance Zhou Tian caused, and facing Zhou Tian’s series of preparations at that time, those few NPC demigods, despite their persistent resistance, inevitably faced defeat eventually.
At that time, while Zhou Tian was alone facing several NPC demigods, even though he was at a disadvantage, he never employed any other power. Unlike him, almost all the power from the main city he held was now being directed toward attacking that NPC large army. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
And, as one could imagine, when Zhou Tian utilized the few forces he had at hand, even the group of NPC demigods suffered some minor setbacks. Now, with that kind of power that could threaten NPC demigods being used to attack their soldiers, it’s imaginable how difficult it would be for that NPC large army to resist.
Even though there were several NPC demigods for protection, when faced with Zhou Tian’s attack, the NPC demigods occasionally failed to protect effectively. And often, just a single attack from Zhou Tian’s side not blocked by the NPC demigods would immediately lead to a large area of their troops being wiped out by that attack. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
No doubt, given the circumstances, while Zhou Tian was having a tough time under the siege of several NPC demigods, the NPC large army was also struggling because of Zhou Tian’s attacks. Even more so, while Zhou Tian’s consumption was high, and the few NPC demigods couldn’t defeat him quickly, compared to Zhou Tian, the situation of that NPC large army was even worse. Because under the continuous attacks of the Beastmen under Zhou Tian, nearly one-tenth of the NPC large army members had been destroyed by those series of attacks.
And the few NPC demigods remaining with the army, though they hated the Beastmen in the castle to their bones, were impotent against them. Because if they decided to counterattack, it was feared that while the Beastmen in the city might be unharmed, the soldiers they were protecting would be wiped out. For this reason, hampered as they were, the NPC demigods at that time couldn’t utilize their full strength, and besides expressing fury over how their troops had been decimated by Zhou Tian’s Beastmen, they couldn’t do much to change anything at that moment.
As a result, after the battle commenced, Zhou Tian still managed to hold on, but the group of NPC demigods could no longer endure the attacks from the Beastmen within the city. Facing the situation at that time, the NPC demigods, while surprised, also struggled to accept the reality.
The NPC demigods never expected that the NPC large army, seen as reinforcements meant to combat Zhou Tian’s Beastmen, would not only fail to remove Zhou Tian’s aid as they thought, but also lose so quickly against Zhou Tian’s Beastman army. Facing this situation, the NPC demigods were utterly caught off guard.
