Mighty Lord

Chapter 1197: Chapter 470 Counterattack_2

At the same time, the Human Emperor was well aware that the reason the situation had evolved into its current state was ultimately due to his own performance not meeting the expectations of those forces. It was precisely because he, the newcomer on whom great hopes had been pinned, had no notable success when facing Zhou Tian that these forces had begun to despair of his camp. Had they not thought him no match for Zhou Tian, they likely would not have considered defecting to Zhou Tian, their former enemy.

Therefore, if the Human Emperor wanted to change the situation now, the simplest method was to restore confidence among those forces. Only by reinstating the forces’ confidence in him and making them aware that with him present Zhou Tian could not easily prevail over them, would those forces, already contemplating capitulation, possibly change their minds.

Thus, the Human Emperor was extremely eager to prove himself, not really aiming to defeat Zhou Tian, a formidable opponent, with his abilities in a short time, but rather to demonstrate that his strength could at least hold Zhou Tian at bay. As such, by restoring confidence among these forces, those unwilling to see Zhou Tian dominate alone would definitely not abandon their persistence just because a few forces had been annihilated.

Based on the circumstances at the time, the Human Emperor knew exactly what he needed to do now. Consequently, when facing the threat posed by Zhou Tian, his performance naturally appeared quite extraordinary.

Frankly, even though Zhou Tian had some advantages in strength at that time, he undoubtedly felt some pressure when facing the Human Emperor’s counterattack.

Initially, because his strategy had already given him an absolute advantage, Zhou Tian believed he only needed to hold his position to win the final victory. Knowing that the Human Emperor possessed an immortal body, Zhou Tian had no intention of retaliating when he faced the Human Emperor’s vigorous counterattack.

Unlike Zhou Tian, at that time, the Human Emperor clearly understood that his counterattack against Zhou Tian was his last chance. If he could not repel Zhou Tian and prove his strength now, his situation would only worsen, ultimately leading Zhou Tian to annex his forces.

So, based on the situation at the time, one had no desire to fight, while the other was forced to desperately battle Zhou Tian. Naturally, no matter how you looked at it, even if Zhou Tian was slightly stronger, the final outcome of their confrontation would by no means be overwhelmingly in his favor.

As a result, because Zhou Tian could not, or rather was simply unable to defeat the Human Emperor, the situation, which had already largely swayed towards him, underwent some changes.

Just as the Human Emperor had anticipated, although Zhou Tian’s actions had intimidated almost all forces hostile to him into retreat, there were still some forces that held grudges against Zhou Tian. In a moment devoid of hope, these forces, out of desperation, could only contemplate surrender. But upon realizing that the Human Emperor was not as weak as they had thought, possibly because the previous series of accidents were just that—accidents—the thoughts of these forces inevitably became reinvigorated.

If they had a choice, already having been Zhou Tian’s enemies, from where would those forces muster the courage to truly defect to Zhou Tian?

Now, when they thought they had no second option, the Human Emperor provided them with a new choice. Under those circumstances, some forces that were originally unwilling to surrender changed their attitude again upon witnessing the performance of the Human Emperor. Even some undaunted forces launched a counterattack against Zhou Tian’s Beastman Large Army, inspired by the Human Emperor’s actions. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Given Zhou Tian’s control over his Beastman Large Army, once these forces’ actions emerged, Zhou Tian had already received relevant reports at the time. Knowing the response of those forces and revisiting the actions of the Human Emperor, Zhou Tian probably already clearly understood the opponent’s intentions.

Frankly, upon discovering that the Human Emperor had turned the tables without him noticing, Zhou Tian couldn’t help but feel irked. Nonetheless, even after learning about the Human Emperor’s maneuvers, Zhou Tian still had no intention of altering his decision.

Zhou Tian’s mindset was very simple; his strategy had already been largely successful. Now, it wasn’t just that the Human Emperor’s actions might not have much effect. Even if the Human Emperor’s actions did achieve the effect he wanted, Zhou Tian still believed he could out-compete his opponent.

Aware of his own shortcomings, Zhou Tian was very clear in his mind. Therefore, based on the Human Emperor’s actions, he was certain that a portion of the forces would quickly return to the Battlefield. However, even knowing that these forces would take such actions, Zhou Tian still held great confidence in his own victory.
