Chapter 194: Expedition to the Territory of the Undead
When the novice area still existed, Zhou Tian had encountered a hostile force, and the strength of that enemy was above Zhou Tian, but because of the geographical advantage, Zhou Tian used the attack power of the orc archers, and finally repelled the enemy's attack several times.
With the expansion of Zhou Tian's power, because there will be new enemies constantly, and because that enemy has never provoked Zhou Tian again, Zhou Tian inevitably forgot the existence of the other party. But now, when Zhou Tian wanted to find a hostile force to annex, he immediately remembered the other party.
The Undead Clan, as the opponent of the Blood Moon Clan, originally since Zhou Tian was a vassal clan of the Blood Moon Sect Master, then he should fight to the death with the other party.
It's just that Zhou Tian's selfishness is too heavy, and he doesn't take the Blood Moon Sect Master seriously at all, so it is impossible for him to do things that affect his development in order to please the Blood Moon Sect Master.
According to the situation of the orc clan at the beginning, there was actually nothing wrong with Zhou Tian making such an arrangement. According to Zhou Tian's conditions, he had a geographical advantage and could indeed defeat those undead monsters. However, if he loses his geographical advantage and lets Zhou Tian fight on the other party's territory, then he will not be able to get any benefits.
Zhou Tian also saw that he couldn't take advantage of fighting with those undead monsters, so he chose to coexist peacefully with those undead monsters at that time.
But now, when Zhou Tian can't find a suitable invasion target, that group of undead monsters has become the most suitable target for Zhou Tian at the moment.
In terms of strength, that group of undead monsters is indeed much stronger than the previous orcs, but that is only the previous orc race. After Zhou Tian became the leader of the orc race, he developed the original half-orc race into the orc race that is basically formed now, and the changes in this can be seen at a glance.
Now, even if the strength of those undead monsters in the past was above the monsters under Zhou Tian's hands, when all the half-orcs evolved into the orcs in front of them, the strength between the two of them was now completely reversed.
Not to mention that those undead themselves have no other means except quantity, Zhou Tian can completely kill the opponent according to the strength of his archer legion. Let's just say that Zhou Tian doesn't have any advantage now, as long as he fights face-to-face with the other party, he has an absolute advantage in strength, and he doesn't have to worry about the possibility of defeat.
It was precisely because the difference in strength between the two sides was too obvious that when Zhou Tian recalled those undead monsters in his mind, he didn't think about it at that time and regarded those undead monsters as his goal to expand his power.
Do what you want, for Zhou Tian, the undead monsters who were his enemies at the beginning are really no longer his opponents. In this way, when Zhou Tian had a plan to invade the other party, he sent troops directly without any scruples.
For the current orc clan, as long as Zhou Tian has such thoughts, then there is no problem in sending troops.
Monsters don't need armament or food, as long as they have a command from above, they will go to battle. And for all monsters, the problem of the source of troops that really needs to be considered, the current orc clan also has a solution. In this way, when Sunday was ready to go to war, he easily pulled out a team.
Thinking of his encounter with invading the territory of those undead monsters, although Zhou Tian knew that his current strength would not have any problem dealing with those undead monsters, the number of troops he prepared was still quite large.
Even if the strength of those undead monsters is weaker, the particularity of their territory will not change in any way. Zhou Tian remembered that after he entered the territory of the undead, he only saw a dead land, and according to the type of land he saw at the beginning, if there was no danger to defend, if he wanted to seize the other party's territory, he would need to annex enough territory at one time. In this way, even if Zhou Tian can defeat those undead monsters, if he doesn't have enough troops in his hands, then this attack will most likely be in vain.
Zhou Tian naturally wouldn't let that happen, so this time he sent troops to Zhou Tian with enough people. Not to mention that the million-strong army was dispatched together, Zhou Tian also issued a death order to Zhang San, who was left behind, as long as there were casualties there, Zhang San would immediately make up for him here. During the period of Zhou Tian's expedition, Zhang San's task was to replenish his troops, not only to make up for the men and horses damaged after Zhou Tian's battle, but also to make up for the new monster gap after the expansion of the orc clan's territory, and Zhang San also needed to make up for Zhou Tian.
Zhou Tian had already made preparations before the war, if he attacked the undead territory this time and couldn't take the other party down in one fell swoop, then even if the battle was finally fought into a war of attrition, Zhou Tian would insist that those undead would be killed at that time.
As a result, after making up his mind, Zhou Tian also sent troops at that time.
In the face of Sunday's dispatch of troops, that group of undead monsters can be said to have no psychological preparation. In fact, it's no wonder that those undead monsters have that kind of performance, after all, Zhou Tian's strength exceeds that group of undead monsters for a day or two, when Zhou Tian's orcs exceed the other party's strength, that group of undead is naturally quite nervous at first, in order to prevent being attacked by Zhou Tian, those undead monsters have made a lot of preparations.
It's just that because Zhou Tian forgot the reason why the undead were in the past, he hasn't taken the initiative to invade the other party for a long time.
Nervous defense of the orcs in a short period of time is not a problem for those undead monsters. However, after a long time, because Zhou Tian and his orcs had never done anything to them, those undead naturally let down their vigilance at that time, and finally directly transferred most of the troops that were originally placed on the defense line.
As a result, when those undead monsters were defenseless, when Zhou Tian led his orc army to attack them, it was naturally impossible to encounter too strong resistance at that time.
In the end, as soon as Zhou Tian's army moved, it directly broke through the defense line set up by those undead monsters at the border between the Skull Cave and their territory. Subsequently, Zhou Tian continued to attack the depths of those undead territories non-stop, and under the attack of his army, one undead territory after another continued to fall. In the end, it only took less than a day, and Zhou Tian directly took the territory he had taken when he entered the territory of the undead.
In terms of results alone, Zhou Tian's dispatch this time occupies a lot of territory, but after the last experience, Zhou Tian knows very well that the current battle with those undead monsters is just the beginning, if he is careless at this time, then the result of his dispatch this time is unlikely to be much better.
The shape of the undead territory is really too peculiar, and there is no danger to defend itself, and in those territories that were originally captured, there may be groups of undead who have been ambushed everywhere. In that case, if Zhou Tian did not deploy heavy troops in the area he occupied, then he would not have been able to really occupy those territories.
Zhou Tianzhi said that he occupied the other party's territory, and only after completely digesting the territory he occupied, there would be no more undead in those newly occupied territories. In this way, before Zhou Tian completely occupies those territories, the more territories he occupies, the more troops he needs to divide and garrison those territories. In this way, a million orcs sound like a lot, but when Zhou Tian sent most of his members to guard those territories, it was not long before Zhou Tian's forces were a little insufficient.
Without enough troops to continue to expand, Zhou Tian had only two options at that time, one was to withdraw directly at that time. I believe that when Zhou Tian retreated, those undead would not be able to fight back after seeing his stakes. It's just clear that Zhou Tian is not going to make that choice. Because this time Zhou Tian will come to the undead territory, it is because the orc race has nowhere to expand. Now that it is difficult to find this group of undead to clean up, how could Zhou Tian give up this goal of annexation.
In this way, since the first choice was destined to be accepted by Zhou Tian from the beginning, then Zhou Tian naturally had to make the second choice now.
Since he refused to retreat, Zhou Tian could only digest part of the territory he occupied first, and then continue to annex those undead territories after he had recovered his strength.
However, it was obvious that those undead would not allow Zhou Tian to encroach on their territory, so if Zhou Tian really planned to do that, then he was destined to face a counterattack from those undead. Under such circumstances, it would not be easy for Zhou Tian to digest the undead territory he occupied.
It's just that no matter how much difficulty he will face at that time, now Zhou Tian has no way to retreat, except to stick to his decision, at this moment, he has no other choice at all.
In this way, when Zhou Tian felt that the troops in his hands were insufficient, and he didn't know how long it would take before he could see the terrain that could be garrisoned, Zhou Tian had to stop his expansion at that time.
As Zhou Tian stopped his march and calmed down to digest the territory he occupied, a group of undead monsters who had been resisting Zhou Tian's invasion before, but didn't have much effect in the end, couldn't help but jump out at that time.
