The reason why it is more difficult for NPCs to occupy each other's territory than monsters is basically because of the current situation in this world and the difference in situation between the two sides.

The monster side has the advantage in overall strength, so they have always been the attacking side. On the NPC side, they have very little territory, but because of the wide construction of the city, it is generally difficult to break through. In this way, it also creates a situation where the NPC side has a strong defense and a weak attack.

It's hard to take an NPC territory, but if you can do it, then the monster side won't have any difficulty occupying that territory.

On the other hand, it is very easy for NPCs to seize the monster's territory in the early stage, and with a few random moves, they can occupy the monster's territory near their city. However, although it is easy for those NPCs to occupy the territory of monsters, if you want to defend it, it is not usually difficult.

All the territories outside the city are full of various monster patrols, and if the NPC side sends troops, then their actions will be reported to the higher-ups on the monster side very quickly. And depending on the strength of the monster side, when the NPC side wants to expand, they will naturally organize one or even several attacks on the other side.

And what if the NPC side is relatively strong? What if an NPC has the help of a player? In the face of the absolute numerical superiority of the monster side, in the face of their crowd tactics, no matter how much preparation those NPCs made in advance, most of them will only end up in a defeat in the end.

So because of that kind of reason, no matter how weak the monsters outside the city are, in order to avoid the losses caused by some doomed useless actions, under normal circumstances, NPCs are unlikely to easily go out of the city to occupy the monster territory.

Zhou Tian also took a fancy to the mentality of the NPC at the beginning, so he did that kind of move. But although there was no problem with Zhou Tian's actions in a short period of time, after a long time, the risk came.

Although it is difficult to occupy the territory of the monster side, it is just as the monster side will try to occupy the territory of the NPC. The concept of the two sides grabbing territory has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and in that case, as long as there is even a glimmer of hope, the NPC will try their best to occupy the other party's territory as soon as it was Zhou Tian.

And Zhou Tian's current reason for dealing with those undead monsters in the Skull Cave has been to transfer all the half-orcs under his command away. In this way, with such a large empty territory outside the NPC city, it is naturally impossible for those NPCs not to discover the anomaly of that territory.

Although under normal circumstances, NPCs will not easily touch the territory of the monster side, but if there are no monsters in that territory for a long time, it is impossible for those NPCs to be without any action.

Not to mention that because of that anomaly, all of them went directly to seize the territory of the monster side, but if it was to make a small move during that time, those NPCs still had the guts.

Starting with small actions, if you don't encounter a fierce reaction from the monster side, then it is conceivable that those NPCs will naturally make some bigger moves at that time. And so on again and again, until it is sure that there is really hope to occupy that territory, and I believe that those NPCs will also move for good.

And if that situation really happens, then regardless of whether the NPC can successfully occupy that territory in the end, Zhou Tian's charge of 'inaction' is destined to be condemned, and if that situation really occurs, Zhou Tian will naturally be in big trouble.

Therefore, Zhou Tian had to come forward to solve the problem of the territory outside the NPC City when the problems in the Skull Cave had not been completely solved.

For the sequelae of the territory he occupies now, if there is only one solution to it, Zhou Tian has only one solution, and that is to attack the heart.

According to the general method, he can get those NPCs back, not to mention that he can't do it according to Zhou Tian's ability, but he will never do that kind of thing.

The consequences of making a big move outside the NPC city can be understood clearly just by looking at the orc monsters, not to mention that there are many places where Zhou Tian will use troops in the future, but the price of doing so is already doomed that Zhou Tian will not do that kind of thing.

Since he can't use force, then Zhou Tian can only 'scare' those NPCs back.

The territory of the monster is not easy to occupy, and those NPCs are very clear about this, and when they see it, they hope that they will not let go of the fat that has fallen into their mouths. But if they suspect that the fat is 'poisonous', then even if the fat is hung in front of their eyes, those NPCs will probably have to think more about it when they act!

Zhou Tian, who had already made a decision in his heart, naturally immediately took action against those NPCs after he got out of the Skull Cave.

Originally, according to Zhou Tian's character, he naturally wanted to teach those NPCs a lesson, but after the previous battle, there were not many troops left in Zhou Tian's hands now. In this way, although it is impossible for Zhou Tian not to move, but when he acts, there is no doubt that Zhou Tian has been forced to be more careful.

As a result, after overturning most of the original plan in his heart, Zhou Tian was cautious and sneaked towards his territory at that time.

"Those souls don't really think my territory is theirs! If that's the case, I can't say that I really want to teach them a lesson today. It just so happens that I am short of troops at the moment, so if I make a little more contribution, I might as well replenish my troops as soon as possible. The skull cave is still losing people and horses there every day, and if you don't prepare a little more, the draft will not be good, and Lao Tzu will become the commander of the light pole after the worst. Muttering a few times in his heart, Zhou Tian led a small group of half-orc warriors under his command, but he directly came to his territory outside the NPC city.

"These guys are too bold, although I haven't made any moves for a long time, but they don't take me seriously in doing this, and I have to teach them a lesson in whatever I say today, otherwise no one will be able to and pee on my head in the future." Zhou Tian didn't expect that when he rushed to his territory outside the NPC city, he saw a scene that made him quite angry at that time.

I don't know if it's because Zhou Tian didn't appear for a long time, which finally made those NPCs think that Zhou Tian had given up this territory. After the initial suspicion, it was determined that the territory was indeed those NPCs who did not have monsters, but they directly sent a team of people outside to investigate the situation at that time.

Maybe those NPCs didn't behave like that at first! However, after a long period of relatively stable investigation, seeing that there really were no monsters in that territory, those NPCs put their minds at ease, but they were completely defenseless and prepared to build a city at that time.

As a result, when Zhou Tian rushed back with his half-orcs, he also saw the picture of NPCs scattered around the city to prepare for the construction of the city. And after seeing that situation, Zhou Tian naturally immediately took action.

First, if those NPCs really start building the city, then he will definitely be punished, so it is necessary to stop those NPCs from building the city on Sunday. Second, the current actions of those NPCs can be regarded as a kind of contempt for Zhou Tian, and Zhou Tian, who feels insulted like this, can't do without a little action. In this way, in such a situation, no matter what the considerations are, Zhou Tian should naturally teach those NPCs a certain lesson.
