Free Web NovelChapter 1124: Chapter 446: Facing the Battle
Zhou Tian did not claim to be certain about the players’ mentality, but given the situation at the time, he was confident that his arrangements would undoubtedly have an effect. Thus, after making such a decision, Zhou Tian had no intention of regretting it. As a result, under his command, when the players were at their strongest momentum, he fearlessly called up his elite Monster Army to the frontline.
The impact of Zhou Tian’s order at that time was significant.
Given Zhou Tian’s sphere of influence at the time, the forces he could mobilize with a single command were naturally considerable! Thus, when Zhou Tian’s order was issued, quickly, at least tens of millions of Beastmen were mobilized at that moment. To defeat the players and successfully upgrade, Zhou Tian had mobilized almost all of his forces for this war.
The elites of the main force, the trump cards of the Vassal Tribes, as long as they were under Zhou Tian’s influence and had some strength, Zhou Tian summoned them all to the frontline. He believed that if any force were to invade his rear at that moment, the resistance they would encounter would probably not be as strong as usual.
Of course, given the current situation, it was estimated that no Monster would have the courage to attack Zhou Tian’s territory. After all, regardless of Zhou Tian’s popularity and regardless of the enmity between Monsters and NPCs and players, once Zhou Tian started the war, it passively represented all Monsters. Thus, other Monsters would not send troops to assist him, but those qualified to pose a threat to Zhou Tian were now focusing their energy on the outcome of that battle. At such a time, dragging Zhou Tian’s leg, not to mention their own loss of face, even if they did so, the retaliation from Zhou Tian and the criticism from other Monster Forces would be enough to make them back off.
Therefore, in this battle, Zhou Tian didn’t need to consider the situation in the rear. After mobilizing all his elite forces, this battle could decide his situation for a considerably long time.
If he won, not only could Zhou Tian save his territory, but using today’s battle, he might directly upgrade to a higher level of Monster. Once Zhou Tian successfully upgraded, neither NPCs nor players would be able to pose a threat to him. In such a case, almost without any opponents left on the Main Plane, if it weren’t for those Deities above and a group of possible Epoch overlords outside, Zhou Tian might even consider conquering the world.
Conquering the world was naturally a joke, but if Zhou Tian could achieve victory in this war, undoubtedly, with strong enough capability, his situation would definitely be much better than it is now. Thus, if Zhou Tian could win this battle, all the difficulties he currently faced would dissipate on their own.
However, similarly, if he won, Zhou Tian wouldn’t have to worry about anything anymore, but if Zhou Tian lost, then it was predicted that he would face a series of difficulties.
If Zhou Tian were to lose, the players would certainly take advantage of the victory to drive him out of his sphere of influence. Simultaneously, after the local Monsters in that region were eradicated following that defeat, Zhou Tian would not only fail to govern the new territory, but he might even struggle to maintain his influence.
So, although deciding the victory with one battle is very straightforward, Zhou Tian knew well that he couldn’t afford to lose or be allowed to lose. If he did lose, all his foundation would be ruined because of this battle, and he might himself encounter danger after this battle.
Therefore, besides carefully preparing, Zhou Tian also deeply resented the NPCs that had pushed him to this point. After all, if it weren’t for those NPCs causing such a stir, he wouldn’t have to face these difficulties. Although it seems the NPCs had given up a lot of benefits for this action, compared to the troubles Zhou Tian was facing, the NPCs’ moves were indeed very worthwhile.
"If I’m going to die, I’ll definitely drag you down with me!" Since he resented those NPCs so much, while he was having a hard time, there was absolutely no reason for him to let those NPCs have it easy. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
On the surface, the situation seemed highly unfavorable for Zhou Tian, but if those NPCs really thought Zhou Tian was easy to handle, they wouldn’t have waited until now to take action. After all, those NPCs weren’t lacking resources. If they could eliminate Zhou Tian so easily, they probably would have done so long ago, and wouldn’t have allowed Zhou Tian to grow to his current state.
It can be said, if it weren’t for the players gaining control of their new power before Zhou Tian, giving those NPCs the opportunity to see a chance to eliminate Zhou Tian and initiate this action, even if watching Zhou Tian upgrade, those NPCs probably wouldn’t have caused such a stir.
And now that the war had already begun, the NPC side inevitably needed to be prepared to face Zhou Tian’s retaliation.
However, the best defense is offense. Those NPCs hadn’t anticipated that their action would have such a big impact. Seeing that Zhou Tian was almost driven to a desolate place, those NPCs had already basically determined they could annihilate Zhou Tian’s Monster force. Thus, with such great confidence in their victory, they would certainly not be engaging in any passive defense.
