Chapter 1123: Chapter 445 Player Invasion_3
Under normal circumstances, although new Monsters may not be particularly supportive of their own BOSS, they wouldn’t rebel without any reason. Thus, as long as the BOSS does not go too far, there is no need for concern about the inability to control the lesser Monsters.
However, the situation with Zhou Tian had become different due to the actions of the players. The lesser Monsters that Zhou Tian sent out were, without exception, all killed by the players. Such a situation, once or twice, may be manageable, but if Zhou Tian kept sending lesser Monsters into the New Territory, only for them to be killed by the players, it would inevitably create some adverse effects for him.
Even if the new Monsters came out with a blank mind and no self-consciousness, obediently executing Zhou Tian’s commands, the external environment could still produce influences unfavorable to Zhou Tian. After such Monster deployments, they could become tainted with these adverse influences against Zhou Tian.
Even Monsters would not desire death.
Certainly, by virtue of his Authority as the BOSS, on many occasions, Zhou Tian could order his lesser Monsters towards danger, knowing full well what lay ahead. However, this does not mean that the lesser Monsters wouldn’t harbor resentment towards Zhou Tian during the execution of their tasks. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
Ordinarily, even if they felt resentment, the lesser Monsters could do nothing to Zhou Tian. But in the current situation, where there was a struggle against players and NPCs, if his own lesser Monsters were no longer standing by his side, then Zhou Tian would be disadvantaged in the upcoming conflict, albeit invisibly.
Continuously sending lesser Monsters was tantamount to sending them to their death, and if done frequently enough, they might even start to hold a grudge against him. Yet he could not refrain from dispatching Monsters, for without them occupying those Territories, they would no longer belong to him. Without these territories, Zhou Tian’s ambition to Upgrade would naturally become unattainable.
Thus, when the players surged into his New Territory in large numbers, Zhou Tian found himself caught in a dilemma. And to those NPCs’ tactics, he had to admit his admiration.
Although simple, the NPCs had undoubtedly hit Zhou Tian’s Achilles heel. If Zhou Tian failed to resolve this crisis, and could not even maintain control over his territories, the desire to upgrade would naturally remain but a lofty dream.
Therefore, Zhou Tian had to admit that those NPCs had indeed driven him into a dangerous situation. With their arrangement, they had expended only some Resources, while Zhou Tian had reached the point where he had no choice but to engage them in battle. Such, an inevitable fight, unless Zhou Tian was truly willing to allow the NPCs to affect his Upgrade with their current methods.
Thus, upon seeing the situation turn thus, Zhou Tian did not hesitate much. Knowing that if he did not fight he would certainly impact his opportunity to upgrade, despite realizing the extraordinary strength of the players, Zhou Tian still resolved to confront them.
Zhou Tian had considerable confidence in his own strength. After all, his ability could weaken the players’ advantages, and as long as it was direct combat, Zhou Tian feared not the players’ Special Abilities.
Indeed, the players’ performance was formidable, but Zhou Tian knew that their strength lay mostly in numbers. The sheer volume of players invading at once, combined with the advantages they could leverage against Monsters, had caused the defense line to crumble easily, allowing the players to wreak havoc effortlessly.
However, Zhou Tian was aware that, while the players were not weak, it was impossible for them to completely overpower his Monsters without any resistance.
In the end, the gap in strength between Monsters and players was not as wide as it appeared. Apart from factors such as abilities and Equipment, the players’ strength might even fall short of that of the Monsters. Without the influence of External Forces, Zhou Tian would not even need to take the players seriously, as they were simply no match for his Monsters.
So, even with the current unfavourable situation, Zhou Tian never imagined that he would actually be defeated by these players. In his view, the players simply did not possess the capability to beat him.
Zhou Tian acknowledged that the players were a significant threat. With the help of Equipment and the Corpses of Gods and Demons, the players could pose a threat to any Monster. But, unlike ordinary Monsters, Zhou Tian did not need to worry about the players’ ability to shield. Once that ability was discounted, the biggest advantage of the players no longer existed.
At present, no matter how much of an Advantage the players held, after all, they only held a numerical advantage. But as a BOSS, was Zhou Tian afraid of numbers?
Given the current situation, Zhou Tian knew it was impossible to defeat the enemy with strategy alone. Instead of striving in that direction, the simplest Method to defeat the current Enemies was to engage them in a tough fight.
The large-scale Invasion of players at the moment was devastating, but due to their overwhelming numbers and lack of a unified Command Center, they had already lost their agility once their action unfolded. If Zhou Tian truly decided to fight a tough battle with the players, no matter what plans they had, they would likely end up clashing with him.
Given the current situation, what could the players do when Zhou Tian launched a major assault on them?
Escape was impossible with so many of them gathered; they simply couldn’t outpace the Monsters. Based on previous Battle results, the players might not necessarily be frightened. Thus, after laying out their Military Power, player groups unable to reach a consensus would have no choice but to stand firm against Zhou Tian as the majority saw no reason to retreat.
