Mighty Lord

Chapter 1212: Chapter 475 Schemes_2

In fact, as Zhou Tian was covertly monitoring the movement of his subordinate beastmen, he soon revealed a pleased expression at that time.

Everything was as Zhou Tian had anticipated. Although the cloned Monster of the Human Emperor had put considerable pressure on the beastmen under Zhou Tian, after all, the Human Emperor was not personally in action. As the Emperor’s strength was distributed, the attack range expanded, but the weakened power meant that when the beastmen under Zhou Tian obeyed his command to counterattack, the Human Emperor did not gain any advantage at that time.

One after another, the goblin weapons were summoned according to Zhou Tian’s orders, and with their power, even the beastmen of average strength could seize the opportunity to kill much stronger enemies. Although such incidents did not happen all the time, the frequency was enough to have a certain impact at that time.

Whether it was the Human Emperor or those Diety, their focus in the confrontation with Zhou Tian was mainly on Zhou Tian, the enemy. And during the struggle, they probably seldom paid attention to the status of their own side! freewёbnoνel.com

Unlike his enemies, while focusing on his opponents, Zhou Tian constantly compared himself with them, and because he always made comparisons, he had already calculated a scheme against the Human Emperor.

Zhou Tian’s actions looked trivial, as if everything he did was for self-preservation and without any noticeable counterattacks. However, in reality, when the Diety and the Human Emperor were off their guard, Zhou Tian had already cruelly schemed against the Human Emperor at that time.

The Human Emperor’s strength was not as great as Zhou Tian’s.

This point, Zhou Tian believed, was well understood by both sides. But even when the Human Emperor himself admitted that his strength was less than Zhou Tian’s, he probably didn’t pay much attention to it at the time. The gap between a newly risen Human Emperor and an old one like Zhou Tian was actually so large that Zhou Tian could easily annex him.

Based on the general comparison of strength, Zhou Tian definitely had the capability to do so, and indeed, he had the intention to annex his opponent. The reason Zhou Tian had not done so, was not that he did not want to clean up his opponent, but because he faced significant pressure when he intended to do so.

The pressure did not come from the Human Emperor being too powerful. In fact, although the Human Emperor was strong, if Zhou Tian wanted, defeating the opponent was not a difficult task. The main reason why Zhou Tian had not been able to annex that hostile force was that the elite forces within the Human Emperor’s camp were far more numerous than Zhou Tian’s.

Even if the Human Emperor himself had not overly cultivated his subordinates, the conditions and objectives set were evident. When many Emperor-level forces merged, based on the foundation of those forces, once their resources were merged, they may have not been stronger than Zhou Tian, but in terms of foundation, they were already streets ahead. Thus, when Zhou Tian wanted to annex them, he faced substantial pressure.

Originally, with his advantage in strength, Zhou Tian could have gradually worn down the opponent’s advantage and, after the opponent had lost it, he could have easily taken his large army to incorporate the current hostile force. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Unfortunately, what was almost a sure success was repeatedly thwarted and ultimately failed due to Zhou Tian having too many enemies. Yet, when Zhou Tian had to switch from offense to defense because of other enemies, he had never forgotten about that Human Emperor force, and secretly, he had never ceased trying to weaken the strength of that enemy.

With the usual methods, the Human Emperor was on guard, making it not easy for Zhou Tian to weaken the opponent’s strength. If his efforts were too light, they would have no effect, and if he went too hard, the opponent would likely realize his intentions. Once the Human Emperor took this into consideration, it became much more difficult for Zhou Tian to weaken the opponent’s strength from that aspect.

However, although the opponent’s plan had caused some losses for Zhou Tian, it actually gave him an easy opportunity to deal with the Human Emperor.

Did the opponent think that without his leadership, his beastman army would no longer be a match for them?

Very well, Zhou Tian would directly let his beastmen fight the opponent. He did not demand to seize too much territory from the opponent, as long as he could ensure his own territory remained secure. The only command Zhou Tian secretly issued to his beastmen was to relentlessly attack the Human Emperor’s subordinates, the small bosses. If possible, even if it meant giving up part of the territory, he intended to cripple those small bosses under the Human Emperor later on.

Although losing territory was not a good thing, if the loss was not too substantial, Zhou Tian had hundred percent confidence in his strength to devise a way to retake those territories later. Conversely, if he missed this opportunity, it would not be so easy to find another great chance to weaken the enemy’s strength in the future.
