Chapter 1203: Chapter 472 Deity Joins the Battle_2

But in the end...

No one had anticipated the arrangements Zhou Tian had made, so when the explosions in Zhou Tian’s Territory occurred, they clinically extinguished the ambitions of many.

The NPCs suffered the severest damage. Believing that Zhou Tian could no longer hold out, they had dispatched their elite forces deep into his territory. As they had ventured too far, when Zhou Tian ordered his Beastmen to detonate the crystal bombs, the losses for the NPCs significantly exceeded their acceptable threshold.

Originally, the NPCs had a threshold for loss; if losses reached a certain standard, they were no longer to continue combatting Zhou Tian. For if they did, they feared it might lead to their annihilation.

Zhou Tian was the enemy of these NPCs, but who among their allied forces, apart from the Deity and the players, were not their enemies? When powerful, the NPCs enjoyed watching Zhou Tian, their greatest threat, facing destruction. But now that they had suffered tremendous losses and were at risk of annihilation, they inevitably changed their original intentions.

The losses endured within Zhou Tian’s territory were so immense that signs of instability had already appeared among the NPCs internally. If the Monster Force were to attack them at this moment, the high-level NPCs were considering how to ensure their survival.

Hence, under those circumstances, the NPCs even hoped Zhou Tian wouldn’t fall to those adversaries. For as natural enemies of the monsters, if Zhou Tian was defeated, then it was very likely that these monsters’ next targets would be them.

Due to the heavy losses from the explosion, coupled with their innate vigilance against monsters, the NPCs ultimately decided to retreat. Although most forces disliked seeing the retreat of the NPCs, those who were aware of the specifics couldn’t really object at this time.

Even the Deity had come to accept the NPCs’ decision to retreat under these circumstances.

Thus, according to the situation at that time, after Zhou Tian detonated the crystal bombs, although he too bore significant losses, he not only weakened every one of his enemies’ strength but also forced back and crippled the NPC force, which was not weaker than his own.

However, although Zhou Tian had forced the retreat of the NPCs and most of the less resolute forces, with the Human Emperor and the Deity still in play, Zhou Tian’s territory was by no means safe at this moment.

Although the NPCs and those scattered forces could not be considered weak, even if they were no longer among Zhou Tian’s invading forces, it still didn’t guarantee the safety of his territory. For Zhou Tian, the forces remaining at this moment were actually more powerful than those who had retreated, and defeating all his current enemies appeared to be quite a challenge.

Nevertheless, no matter how powerful his enemies were at this moment, Zhou Tian must continue to fight them. Although the withdrawal of the NPCs and scattered forces couldn’t change the overall situation, by forcing such a powerful hostile force to retreat, it certainly brought Zhou Tian some joy. Because without those forces, although the overall situation hadn’t changed, Zhou Tian’s pressure undeniably lessened significantly at that time.

Sparing even a little counts as progress; he had enough enemies already, and naturally welcomed any reduction.

Consequently, as Zhou Tian engaged in battle with the Human Emperor and closely monitored the battle situation, he saw that his strategy had caused many forces to choose retreat at that time, and despite his current difficult situation, he couldn’t help but reveal a smug smile.

Even if there was no change in the overall situation at that moment, what of it? fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Zhou Tian only needed to see that he had successfully forced a retreat of a portion of his enemies for now. Today he could send the NPCs packing, and tomorrow he might drive back the Deity. No matter how many enemies he faced now, by handling them bit by bit, he would eventually drive them all away.

Thus, upon seeing his plan bear fruit, Zhou Tian immediately acted as if he had been injected with an adrenaline shot, powering forward at that moment. Hence, a series of attacks relentlessly struck the Human Emperor, indeed managing to kill him a few times while riding the wave of high morale.

Although the Human Emperor’s immortal body meant that Zhou Tian’s actions of killing him were somewhat ineffective, after venting his passion, and as the conflict stabilized, Zhou Tian, who had already demonstrated his strength, couldn’t help but suddenly suggest to the Human Emperor, "How about joining our camp? You should see that your reinforcements are unreliable; they stand no chance of defeating me. Sooner or later, I will unify the world. When that time comes, how will you fend for yourself? Inevitably, you will be defeated by me, so rather than losing your life later, I think you might as well surrender now. At least this way, you need not lose your life. And I can assure you, as long as you are willing to come over, you will definitely rank second only to me within our Beastman Tribe, and everyone apart from me will follow your orders!"
