Free Web NovelChapter 1115: Chapter 443 NPC’s Countermeasure
Zhou Tian only needed to attack and break the barriers within those Monster Territories, and then at that time, most of those monsters would choose to submit. This situation was not isolated to one or two places; it was a common occurrence across all Monster Territories within the player’s Sphere of Influence.
Consequently, Zhou Tian took advantage of this strength and rapidly annexed those Monster Territories. Not long after the NPCs retreated, Zhou Tian directly expanded his own Territory by twofold.
While Zhou Tian was acting in such a manner, even though the NPCs definitely disapproved, as long as Zhou Tian did not continue attacking their cities, they were uncertain whether or not to deploy troops against him again.
To deploy troops, if they could crush Zhou Tian, that would naturally be good. However, looking at the previous scenarios, the NPCs found Zhou Tian to be exceptionally troublesome. Without a proper opportunity and method, even if Zhou Tian relied on old tactics, he had already gained the ability to repel them.
Therefore, in the view of some NPC High Levels, since they clearly knew that even if they deployed troops they would still not be able to handle Zhou Tian, why bother sending soldiers at all? It would be better to simply give up attacking Zhou Tian. After all, from the current situation, attacking Zhou Tian did indeed seem unworthy.
However, if the NPCs chose not to deploy troops, that would also pose a significant problem.
Although Zhou Tian was currently not attacking their cities, given the speed of his expansion, the NPCs were aware this was not good for them.
Being old Opponents of the monsters, the NPCs certainly understood that if the monsters occupied enough Territory, they could continuously upgrade their abilities. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Although the NPCs, not being monsters, were unclear about the extent of power monsters could possess by holding various territories, they could imagine that Zhou Tian, who was already capable of causing them so much trouble, would reach an unfathomable level of power one day if his expansion continued. And even if Zhou Tian seemed affable now, the NPCs were well aware that peaceful coexistence could not last forever between them. After all, Players and NPCs are inherently mortal Enemies; it was nearly impossible to expect Zhou Tian not to confront them once he became more powerful.
Currently, the player’s power was growing rapidly, changing almost daily. It wasn’t expected to take long for the players to become significantly stronger.
Because of their identity and predicament, the players’ Advancement essentially represented the advancement of NPC power. From this perspective, the continual progression of player strength could be seen as the reason why the NPCs had the Confidence to battle the Monster Force.
However, while the players were advancing, if Zhou Tian’s power was also progressing, the NPCs could not help feeling somewhat worried. It was due to this worry that the NPCs could not ignore the presence of Zhou Tian as an Opponent.
The subsequent situation was naturally simple.
The NPCs were indecisive because no matter how they chose to deal with Zhou Tian, there were certain advantages and disadvantages. And it was under these complex relationships that the NPCs remained undecided, leading to long debates that failed to conclude with a decision. freewёbnoνel.com
With such debatable issues, reaching a conclusion would certainly be good, but if no conclusion could be reached, dealing with such matters became quite easy in practice.
When right or wrong is unclear, typically if no result emerges from debate, those in charge tend to take a neutral stance, not pleasing either side but also not offending either. Many might say that moderation isn’t good, but depending on the circumstances at the time, there are few who would likely choose otherwise!
In fact, considering Zhou Tian’s situation, whatever decision the NPCs made would be wrong. Therefore, unable to defeat Zhou Tian but also unable to leave him unchecked, restraining Zhou Tian without engaging him in all-out War naturally became the only choice for the NPCs at that time.
Based on the circumstances, the best choice for the NPCs would actually be to inform the Monster Force of the condition of their Sphere of Influence. Once they did so, apart from Zhou Tian, there would surely be a large number of monsters interested in the territories within their Sphere of Influence. With the arrival of these monsters, Zhou Tian would face competition and naturally would find it difficult to continue expanding as he is now.
However, just like the reason why Zhou Tian could expand under such favorable conditions, even though such action by the NPCs could severely limit Zhou Tian’s expansion speed, they could foresee that their results would definitely not be significant if they really did so.
The reason is very simple, besides Zhou Tian, who had personal experience as a monster, would there be a second Monster Force daring to expand into the player’s Sphere of Influence?
No Monster Force would have such audacity.
Is Zhou Tian audacious? Not to mention his innate Ability to restrain the player’s screen effect, just take into account that in the pursuit of expanding his Territory, Zhou Tian was willing to do almost anything. However, even Zhou Tian, before he actually reached this Player Sphere of Influence, had never considered expanding in this direction. It wasn’t because he truly forgot this area was also a Territory but instinctively, Zhou Tian did not want to engage in any Conflicts with those players.
