Chapter 1125: Chapter 446: Welcoming the Battle_2

Indeed, Zhou Tian was very strong, but as long as they defeated him before his upgrade and drove him out of their sphere of influence, Zhou Tian’s threat would cease to exist.

An upgraded Zhou Tian would be a formidable enemy to those NPCs, Zhou Tian on the verge of upgrading was an enemy to them, and a Zhou Tian who failed to upgrade and became an Emperor-level boss would merely be a moderately strong prey to those NPCs. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Therefore, to avoid Zhou Tian’s revenge, the best outcome would naturally be to strike him down before he had the chance to grow stronger. If they could accomplish that, no matter how much Zhou Tian resented them, once he lost his ability to retaliate, they believed he would be unable to harm them.

As a result, since the NPC forces’ combat power was inferior to that of the players and they were not of much use, they weren’t deployed by the NPCs. Considering Zhou Tian’s strength and the lack of true peak players on the players’ side, the NPC camp once again sent out their demigods.

In terms of high-end combat power, the NPCs dispatched most of their demigods, and while they did not send lower rank soldiers themselves, there were plenty of players on their side, not fewer in number than Zhou Tian’s. Although not monsters, in a war of attrition, these players could also rival monsters.

Monsters could be endlessly produced as long as there was a Demonic Transformation Pool and the necessary energy, essentially meaning that as long as Zhou Tian had special abilities, his lesser monsters would be inexhaustible.

However, even though the conditions were different, the players were not necessarily afraid of a war of attrition against Zhou Tian. Their circumstances were equally suited for such a war.

Firstly, although players’ basic strength wasn’t up to par with monsters, with the help of external forces, their destructive power could be far greater than that of ordinary monsters. At the same time, although players couldn’t be continuously created like monsters with a Demonic Transformation Pool and energy, they could resurrect. As long as they couldn’t be truly killed, they could return to battle after resurrection, their conditions not inferior to the monsters’.

With Zhou Tian at a slight disadvantage or at least not benefitting in terms of lower rank combat power, he also faced the siege of a large number of NPC demigods at that moment, making his winning odds not great.

Of course, whether his winning odds were great was just one aspect; practically speaking, Zhou Tian was indeed far weaker than the NPC camp at that time. However, although weaker in combat power than those players and NPCs, Zhou Tian’s potential was indeed greater.

For those NPCs and players, their current strength was fixed; in essence, unless an accident occurred, their strength would not change in the short term. In contrast, Zhou Tian’s situation was much better at that time.

Although still an Emperor-level boss at the moment, Zhou Tian had successfully acquired the foundation for upgrading. Now, with enough territory secured, all Zhou Tian lacked was time.

In other words, even if Zhou Tian did nothing at the moment, as long as he maintained the integrity of his territory during combat, his strength would grow stronger over time. Once Zhou Tian persisted to a certain point, his upgrade would become a natural progression.

Undoubtedly, for Zhou Tian, that was his only opportunity at the moment. Unprepared for the increasing threat posed by the NPC’s actions, Zhou Tian would find a way to firmly grasp his only chance to win.

Thus, Zhou Tian recognized that this battle had become very simple.

To win against those NPCs and players, it was no longer a matter of how strong he was; instead, it depended on whether he could hold off their invasion before upgrading. If he managed to do so, the upgraded Zhou Tian could win the war; if Zhou Tian couldn’t hold his territory, given the enemy’s all-out efforts, it would indeed be difficult for him to endure alone.

Having understood his situation, Zhou Tian then had more plans for this battle.

In any case, Zhou Tian couldn’t afford to lose his territory right now. Thus, after the battle began, after brief consideration, Zhou Tian immediately took action against those players.

Originally, according to Zhou Tian’s initial plan, he intended to weaken the players’ combat power as much as possible with his abilities while facing them head-on. Then, relying on the monsters’ capacity to sustain the fight, he planned to ultimately crush the invading players.

But as the NPC camp continued to enhance the players’ forces, Zhou Tian’s original plan became somewhat unworkable. Consequently, while facing the threat from the NPCs, Zhou Tian naturally had to adjust his original plan at that moment.
