Chapter 1188: Chapter 467 Withdrawal_2
For the purpose of containing Zhou Tian, it was not merely because that Human Emperor still had his utilitarian value that the majority of forces in that world did not wish to see Zhou Tian’s power expand again. Thus, even though that Human Emperor was gambling on the reactions of those covert forces at the time, in reality, his gamble was one with fewer chances of an accident than most.
In fact, just as Zhou Tian’s Beastman Large Army began to gain the upper hand and, following Zhou Tian’s orders, gradually invaded the territory of that Newcomer Human Emperor. Almost at the same time, the Beastman Large Army expanding Zhou Tian’s territory was suddenly subjected to a barrage of attacks. freёwebnovel.com
The attacks came swiftly, so much so that even though Zhou Tian had anticipated such incidents might occur and had issued cautious commands to his Beastman subordinates, in the end, when faced with those attacks, Zhou Tian’s Beastman Large Army was still caught off guard.
However, while Zhou Tian’s Beastman Large Army was indeed caught off guard by the opposing forces, if those forces genuinely believed they could easily defeat the Beastman Large Army, they were still being overly optimistic. In truth, even though Zhou Tian’s Beastman Large Army had been caught off guard, the outcome of their engagement was still a combat where they fought on par with their opponents.
Why then did those forces, who clearly did not wish to see an excess of Human Emperor powers emerge, still allow that Newcomer Human Emperor to successfully upgrade without any Minor Action?
It was not because those forces were truly unconcerned about the Newcomer Human Emperor taking action against them. As long as there was an opportunity, those forces knew very well that the newly emerged Human Emperor would act against them just as Zhou Tian had done. However, they were even more aware that if there were no Human Emperor to resist Zhou Tian, then given Zhou Tian’s Powerful Strength, his Unification of the current world was not something they could effectively resist.
It was precisely because they did not wish to see Zhou Tian successfully Unify the world that those forces acquiesced to the emergence of that Human Emperor. And given the circumstances at the time, if those forces were willing to risk confronting Zhou Tian, then naturally, their Ability was far from being a match for Zhou Tian’s. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
Thus, although they did gain a slight Advantage by striking suddenly, due to their inferior strength relative to Zhou Tian’s Beastman, even with the element of surprise, those forces were still unable to crush Zhou Tian’s Beastman Large Army at that moment.
In the end, unwilling as they were, that group of forces found themselves deadlocked with Zhou Tian’s Beastman Large Army following their surprise attack. And with that result, the very shift in conditions that Human Emperor had been waiting for could be said to have occurred.
Despite Zhou Tian’s Beastman’s Powerful Strength, the coalition of forces could still do nothing to them even with the element of surprise on their side. But following those forces’ Actions, the original unstoppable advance of Zhou Tian’s Beastman Large Army, which had gained the Upper Hand in the War with the Human Emperor, inevitably slowed their pace of Invasion.
One could even directly say that, as a result, Zhou Tian’s Large Army’s Invasion Action had been effectively resisted by the tactics of their opponents. If nothing unexpected happened, it was estimated that under the joint resistance of those forces, whether Zhou Tian’s Beastman still had the Ability to capture the territory of that Human Emperor had indeed become a Problem.
As a result, feeling the change in the situation, Zhou Tian’s Mood immediately turned Unhappy at that moment.
While Zhou Tian had not disregarded the possibility that the situation might evolve into its current state during his Action, upon witnessing his Beastman Large Army being resisted by such Tactics, his mood was still noticeably Unhappy.
Regardless, even if Hope was ever so slight, Zhou Tian still hoped he could leverage his Advantage in strength to allow his Beastman Large Army to completely Win over the opponent’s Territory. Now, due to the interference of those forces, the slim chance of victory Zhou Tian had been hoping for was directly lost.
And surely, if one could easily Win, who would want to strive hard for victory after much effort? Thus, even if Zhou Tian was psychologically prepared, seeing things evolve to this point still inevitably left him feeling somewhat Unhappy. And towards those intervening forces, he naturally harbored deep resentment.
Unfortunately, just as those forces had let the Newcomer Human Emperor emerge, Zhou Tian now found himself restrained. Even though the Ability of this Newcomer Human Emperor was far less than Zhou Tian’s, with this Opponent now present, it would be very difficult for Zhou Tian to Take Action as he had before.
For example, although Zhou Tian was eager to immediately eliminate those forces intervening in his Combat, because the Human Emperor was stubbornly holding his ground, even if Zhou Tian could defeat his opponents multiple times, he would still find it difficult in the short term to turn his attention to fighting them under the Human Emperor’s relentless grip.
