Chapter 217: Instability Behind Enemy Lines
The strength of those branches under Zhilu Dao is limited, and the Undead Lord knows very well that if they are left to fend for themselves like that, then the branches under his command will all be wiped out in a short time. The relationship between the Undead Lord and his subordinates is definitely much closer than that of other Sect Lords and their vassals. In this way, even if the undead lords themselves can't protect them due to the agreement between the sect leaders, they can still use some side kicks to protect their own branches.
Nominally, the Undead Lord had banished a group of undead monsters under his command, and he had those exiled undead monsters stay for one or two in each branch. In normal times, those exiled undead monsters will not participate in the internal affairs of those undead branches, but as long as those undead branches are facing the disaster of extinction, then the undead monsters exiled there by the undead lord will also help them defeat the invading enemies at that time.
It was precisely because of the arrangement of the undead lord that if he hadn't been lucky enough to deal with the skull dragon that Zhou Tian had annexed, it would be impossible for Zhou Tian to annex his territory at the moment.
And now, although the undead monsters sent out by the undead lord can't deal with Zhou Tian, the high-level undead monsters hidden in the undead territory that attacked Zhou Tian will not be subject to that kind of restriction.
In other words, now that Zhou Tian is facing the attacks of those undead branches, he may also encounter the attacks of several high-level undead monsters, and it is no wonder that the undead lord will directly strike the battle with the Blood Moon Sect Master after making such an arrangement. Probably in the eyes of the undead lord, after it made such an arrangement, it was completely impossible for Zhou Tian to live!
And in fact, when facing the arrangement of the undead lord right now, Zhou Tian is indeed difficult to resist.
Although the undead lord's power is almost always supported there by his own strength, the strength of his branches, although united, is not as strong as the vassal monsters that other sect masters sit on. But no matter what, even if the strength is a little weaker, it doesn't mean that those undead monsters really won't pose a threat to Zhou Tian.
In fact, if you fight in your own territory, the strength of the undead monsters will not be weaker than other monsters, and although the expedition makes it difficult for the undead monsters to exert their strength, if they are stronger than the other party, then it is not impossible to swallow other monsters.
And now, there is no doubt that when the branch under the undead lord wants to deal with Zhou Tian, it is impossible for them to be all undead monsters that are not as strong as Zhou Tian. In fact, there are not only a lot of undead branches near Zhou Tian, but there are also quite a few high-level monsters among them. And according to the strength of those undead branches, they are already completely capable of threatening the safety of the cat people.
What's more, there are still several or even a dozen undead monsters over level 100 in those undead teams now, just counting the strength of the other party, Zhou Tian knows that he is afraid that it will be difficult to resist such a strong enemy.
And what made Zhou Tian feel even more helpless was that because he had suddenly evolved into the cat people, it was not counted if he lost the help of the archer army, and Zhou Tian had not been able to fully control the fighting methods of the cat people at the moment. And in this kind of situation, where he couldn't even give full play to his own strength, Zhou Tian faced such a strong enemy, and he knew how unfavorable the current situation was for Zhou Tian.
However, no matter how unfavorable the current situation is for Zhou Tian, in the face of the invasion of the undead clan, Zhou Tian must do his best to resist.
Zhou Tian can't let those undead swallow him! Therefore, when those undead monsters appeared, even if Zhou Tian was unprepared and unsure, he still had to order his catmen to urgently gather to resist the opponent's attack.
And there was no accident in the result, when Zhou Tian organized people to resist those undead monsters, the final result was that the cat army he sent out was directly defeated several times in a row at that time.
Everything is already different, after the orcs have become cat people, they have already lost the biggest weapon in their hands. In the past, when encountering the enemy, as long as the rain of arrows continued to shoot out, it would force the enemy to retreat even if it could not defeat the enemy. And now without the help of those archers, when facing the enemy head-on, it will depend on the true strength of the cat people.
Although it can't be said that the strength of the cat people is not good, when it comes to hard-fought wars, the cat people are really not very good at this kind of battle.
In this way, although the cat people of the same level are stronger than those undead monsters, not to mention that those undead monsters are members whose strength is above the cat people, just say that those undead are hundreds of times the number of cat people, and it is enough to beat the cat people team under Zhou Tian to no temper.
After several defeats in a row, Zhou Tian's defense line retreated again and again, if it weren't for the fact that those undead monsters were not moving fast, it was estimated that most of the territories that Zhou Tian had originally annexed had already been occupied by those undead monsters.
And even if the situation has not reached such a bad point now, if Zhou Tian can't solve this crisis, then I'm afraid he can only sit and watch himself let the other party swallow it up.
Zhou Tianzi would not have let that happen, so when he knew that his front line was tight, he immediately took action for this purpose at that time.
If the territory is lost, if it is after the other party digests part of his territory, then it is estimated that Zhou Tian's cat people will also degenerate into orc races, and at that time, Zhou Tian will naturally be able to use his old methods to deal with those undead monsters again.
It's just that Zhou Tian didn't plan to do that.
Although Zhou Tian's situation will be much better after having the Archer Legion, Zhou Tian also knows that if he wants to rely on the old way to deal with a strong enemy as soon as he encounters a strong enemy, then he doesn't have to think about expansion anymore. Although the revenge of the undead lord is unlikely to occur very often at the moment, it is impossible to not offend other monsters as long as Zhou Tian is expanded. In this way, without the corresponding determination, Zhou Tian will not let his monsters adapt to the fighting style of the cat people.
In this way, no matter how bad the current situation is, Zhou Tian has never considered using the archer army to turn the tables at the cost of degrading back into the orc race.
However, it is one thing to have that kind of determination, but the strength of the undead monster side is also an indisputable fact, if Zhou Tian does not have some corresponding means, then he can't change the current battle situation with determination alone.
Of course, Zhou Tian's refusal to back down does not mean that he has no other way to deal with the current crisis. In fact, after the initial anxiety, Zhou Tian quickly had an idea about how to deal with those undead monsters.
Indeed, the strength of those undead monsters is quite strong, and judging from the combat power on the surface, Zhou Tian will not be their opponent anyway.
However, after fighting with those undead for a while, Zhou Tian also saw some Mingtang at that time.
Although the movement speed of undead monsters is generally very slow, no matter how slow their movement speed is, in the case that they already have an absolute advantage, if they really want to take down Zhou Tian, they should be able to occupy most of Zhou Tian's territory at this time.
But the current situation is that although the cat army under Zhou Tian is at the hands of those undead monsters, they have suffered many defeats in a row. But if you really want to talk about it, Zhou Tian didn't let those undead monsters take up too much territory.
Obviously able to occupy most of Zhou Tian's territory, but the attack speed of those undead monsters is not fast, under the premise that those undead monsters cannot show mercy to his subordinates, Zhou Tian knows that if such a situation occurs, it must be those undead monsters who are in trouble in the process of attacking him.
And the things that can cause trouble to those undead monsters, Zhou Tian can roughly guess just thinking about it.
Although not all undead monsters live underground, according to the virtue of undead monsters, no matter where their territory falls, their relationship with monsters near them must be quite tense. If it weren't for the undead lord's arrangement of the strength of the guards for those branches of it, it is estimated that the undead monsters that the undead lord had separated would have been killed by the other monsters long ago!
And at the moment, although there is no way for the monsters near those undead branches to take it, it is estimated that any actions of those undead monsters will definitely attract the attention of other monsters.
If the undead monsters want to attack Zhou Tian, then they must find a way to take the territories they have to pass through along the way. And probably because of this, after the undead lord made arrangements, it was more than a month before these undead monsters appeared in front of Zhou Tian's eyes!
And if Zhou Tian is not mistaken, at the moment, although these undead monsters have successfully driven their army into his territory. But in the process of opening the way, they must have offended a lot of monsters, and at the same time left a lot of troubles. Right now, maybe it's because there are a lot of monsters behind them that are pulling their hind legs, so those undead monsters are marching so slowly.
In this way, if Zhou Tian is not wrong, then this will naturally be an opportunity for him to turn the tables.
