Free Web NovelChapter 1156: Chapter 456 Repel the Goddess_3
And just before, during Zhou Tian’s confrontation with that goddess, due to the various destruction caused by their fight, the once decent continent had already turned into a wasteland. Thus, when Zhou Tian issued a command for his Beastman subordinates to take over, they encountered no obstacles and effortlessly secured the territory. Initially, Zhou Tian thought it would be tough to conquer, but after repelling the goddess, it only took a few hours. ƒrēewebnovel.com
After regaining that territory, Zhou Tian heaved a sigh of relief at that moment.
During the struggle with the goddess, Zhou Tian was aware that he had lost quite a bit of his territory. After all, those NPCs and Monsters had always had that idea from the very start: keep him occupied with the goddess, then use their combat power at the top echelons to easily overtake Zhou Tian’s lands.
Although from the final outcome, it appeared that the plans of the NPCs and Monsters had fallen through, it wasn’t to say their plan was flawed. The main reason their scheme encountered a problem was simply because Zhou Tian was too powerful.
The arrangement of those forces had no issues in itself. Once Zhou Tian was held up, the combat power of the Beastman forces, naturally, was greatly reduced. However, when they devised the plan, those forces had forgotten to consider another factor. frёewebηovel.cѳm
Indeed, without Zhou Tian, the Beastman’s strength had significantly decreased. But even without his presence, the Beastman had already transcended beyond a mere Emperor-level force. Having turned into a higher level of Monsters, their strength was naturally incomparable to that of Emperor-level forces.
Zhou Tian’s subordinate Bosses, although not as strong as the Demigods and Emperor-level Bosses, could still be considered at the same level under those circumstances. Therefore, even though they were not a match, Zhou Tian’s subordinate Bosses already possessed the strength to resist those Invaders. Under those circumstances, after Zhou Tian had ordered his sub-bosses to resist the Invaders to the death, it presented a significant obstacle to the invasion actions of those Demigods and Emperor-level Bosses.
Under Zhou Tian’s orders, his Beastmen, whether willingly or not, achieved the goal of ’if a person stands, the position holds; if the person dies, the position falls’ in the face of the invaders.
As a result, each time those Demigods and Emperor-level Bosses wanted to take a piece of Zhou Tian’s territory, they had to pay a huge price. Thus, their invasion of Zhou Tian’s lands naturally couldn’t proceed quickly.
What troubled the Demigods and Emperor-level Bosses more was that Zhou Tian’s subordinate Bosses did not fear—or rather, couldn’t resist—death. Once dead, new Monsters would immediately take over their Boss position. In this way, the situation of the Beastman Tribe was like facing countless Demigods incessantly succeeding each other in obstructing their efforts; even if all those Demigods were of inferior quality, their sheer number posed an issue to the powerfully strong Allied Army.
Even though the goddess was exceptionally powerful, successfully holding Zhou Tian for a long time and killing him countless times, her efforts were in vain since the Demigods and Emperor-level Bosses failed to take over Zhou Tian’s territory as planned. When Zhou Tian repelled the goddess, he didn’t fall from his position as Human Emperor.
However, even though Zhou Tian hadn’t fallen from the Realm of Human Emperor, to say he hadn’t been affected at all would be impossible.
Speaking of which, the number of Demigods attacking Zhou Tian’s territory was somewhat greater than his subordinate Bosses. Even considering the strength of those Demigods, with their relentless attacks, Zhou Tian’s subordinate Bosses performed beyond those Demigods and Emperor-level Bosses’ expectations. Still, during the continuous combat, due to their inferior strength, Zhou Tian’s territory inevitably fell into the enemy’s hands in parts.
So even though Zhou Tian seemed untroubled at the moment, no one could guarantee that under the loss of those territories, Zhou Tian wouldn’t at some point fall from the Realm of Human Emperor. Therefore, after repelling the goddess, Zhou Tian’s crisis hadn’t been completely resolved. He was still under the threat of those Demigods and Emperor-level Bosses; without diligent resistance, he could still be brought down to the level of an Emperor-level Boss.
Zhou Tian had relied on the territories he had seized for support before. Now, he had to occupy or reclaim even more territories. Only by having a sufficient number of territories under his name would he be able to maintain his own lands and strength under the threat of those Demigods.
Thus, after successfully recovering his home continent, Zhou Tian did not overly concern himself with its restoration at that moment. After briefly understanding the status of his territory, he immediately rushed toward a certain direction.
While reclaiming lost lands was one method, to Zhou Tian, all the Demigods and Emperor-level Bosses were concentrated in that area anyway. Relying on their strength, even if Zhou Tian wasn’t afraid of them, defeating them would still take no short amount of time, which definitely didn’t align with his interests.
Therefore, for Zhou Tian at the time, instead of trying to reclaim lost lands, he was more willing to attack the territories of the Emperor-level Bosses. Because for him, conquering those Emperor-level Monsters’ territories was much easier than reclaiming lost ones. (To be continued.
