Chapter 116: The Problem
While several mountain ranges enclose the novice area, there are also a few canyons that lead to the outside world. Although almost all of those canyons fell into the hands of all forces, if Zhou Tian was bent on expanding, it would be a good choice to attack in that direction.
Naturally, the rulers of several canyons did not have a simple role, or it should be said that the novice area was too weak at the beginning. The monsters in the past inside can compare with each other, but if you really put it to the outside world, the monsters in the novice area are just a group of inaccessible existences.
There is no mid-level monster in the entire area, and all of them are low-level monsters.,In a situation like that.,It's really only going to appear in the novice area.。 And in that case, if it weren't for Zhou Tian unifying the novice area and allowing his orc clan to advance from the original low-level monster to a middle-level monster, then he really didn't have the qualifications to develop outside.
Even if he had that qualification right now, he would have to solve a few problems before he could actually take action.
First of all, the matter of the undead, although they give Zhou Tian a sense of chicken but not a threat, but if Zhou Tian is expanding, they jump out to make trouble, it will still be quite troublesome for Zhou Tian.
However, although this problem cannot be solved, there is really no difficulty in Zhou Tian.
The strength and character of that group of undead are almost clear, although as long as they encounter a territory that is likely to be annexed, they will desperately swallow it up like ordinary monsters. However, if they find that the enemy is quite strong, or even have the power to counterattack, then they will not provoke the opponent again.
At the same time, coupled with the orc archers under Zhou Tian, they can definitely defeat most of the monsters in the narrow terrain. So after sending some more orc archers to guard the passage under the skull cave, Zhou Tianzhi was not very worried that those undead would run out and make trouble.
And after the first problem is solved, Zhou Tian still needs to solve the second problem. And this question is the most critical problem for Zhou Tian.
There are no powerful monsters in the novice area, and one of the main reasons why this area has not been swallowed by monsters from the outside world is that all the entrances to the novice area have been blocked.
Not to mention the mountain range, the character of those mountain monsters has already determined that they have become a natural barrier. And those canyons, no matter which side controls them, at the location of entering the novice area, the NPC side has set up a relatively powerful gathering point there.
Although the importance of the beginner area is not great for NPCs, it is definitely an important position for players to level up. Players and NPCs are natural allies, so even if the Novice Zone is not very important to their NPCs, in order to ensure its independence and provide a place for players to level up, those NPCs still spare no effort to protect the Novice Zone.
To put it bluntly, even if the real dominance of a few canyons is in the hands of monsters, the levels set up by NPCs near the novice zone are still important.
If Zhou Tian wants to connect with the outside world, then he must first break through the levels set by those NPCs. Otherwise, if he wanted to expand outward, it would only be a joke.
And those levels exist to resist mid-level and even high-level monsters from entering the novice area. Thinking about it like this, I also know that the strength of the NPCs in those levels is definitely not ordinarily strong.
It can even be said directly that the area of those levels is not as good as one-tenth of the Novice City, but the strength of its internal NPCs is definitely ten times greater than that of the Novice City.
According to the combat power of those levels, if Zhou Tian wants to break through them, the chance of winning the head-on conflict is very small. But fortunately, because Zhou Tian unified the novice area, things inevitably changed a little at that time.
After Zhou Tian unified the novice area, although the name of the novice area has not changed for the time being, in fact, it can no longer be regarded as a novice area. Because of the strength of the orc clan, if they don't have a certain level, otherwise if a novice player comes to this place again, it won't be an act of death.
And since the novice area has lost its original role, there is no point in NPCs sticking to those levels.
Now those NPCs didn't immediately withdraw those levels, they were just reluctant to take the key positions they occupied.
Blocking a few monster territories from touching the territory is still important for those NPCs. Because if the monster and the monster's territory are connected too much, then no one can guarantee that there will not be an existence like Zhou Tian who unifies the surrounding monsters.
Compared to the novice area, if this situation occurs in the outside world, it will also represent the emergence of a new master. And every extra leader is a disaster for those NPCs, so as long as the location is important, those NPCs will definitely not be willing to give up those levels.
Of course, firstly, because the novice area is not large, and secondly, because of Zhou Tian, the novice area has lost its original role. Therefore, although those NPCs will not give up those levels, the strength of protection has undoubtedly decreased a lot, and this has inadvertently created an opportunity for Zhou Tian.
If those levels were as powerful as before, it would be almost impossible for Zhou Tian to break them. However, at the moment, since the strength of those levels has been weakened, if Zhou Tian attacks them again in this environment, although it is not said that it will definitely succeed, the hope of success is still quite high.
In this case, Zhou Tian only needs to consider which direction to attack and what kind of arrangements he should make in the rear.
Which direction to develop is related to whether Zhou Tian's follow-up plan can go smoothly. If the strength of the monsters he encounters after clearing the level is generally even inferior to that of the orcs, then he can completely annex the other party to make his orc clan's strength improve.
However, if Zhou Tian clears the level and finds that it is connected to the territory of a high-level monster, then let's not talk about how the other party reacts. Let's just say that after Zhou Tian wasted so much effort to clear that level, he was afraid that not only would he not gain anything, but he would have to guard against the attack of that high-level monster.
In the same way, if Zhou Tian can clear the level, then when the strength of the level is weakened, no one can guarantee that the monster on the other side of the level will not take action. And in this case, Zhou Tian had to be on guard at various checkpoints. Because who knows when Lu Dao is, and whether a group of monsters will suddenly rush out of the place where he thinks it is safe.
"It's so troublesome!" I didn't want to be troubled, but after Zhou Tian really thought about it, he went crazy at that time.
It's just that no matter how troublesome things are at the moment, Zhou Tian still has to do it. Because if he hadn't made a decision sooner, his orcs wouldn't have known how to act. And in order to expand his own strength and invade the territory of other monsters, this is what Zhou Tian has to do.
