Chapter 428: The War Begins

"Wow!" Zhou Tian's idea was not wrong, according to the interference effect of the Demon Breaking Short Sword on unnatural objects, when Zhou Tian pierced the short sword into the stone statue, the stone statue was directly split into pieces of broken stone, and it didn't take long for the stone statue to shatter into a stone.

After successfully solving the two stone statues, there was no other trouble on Sunday's trip this time. After finally successfully leaving the Bone Demon Territory, even Zhou Tian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at that time.

Next, while Zhou Tian ordered his orcs to digest the bone demon territory as much as possible, he was already heading towards other monster territories. And according to Zhou Tian's strength, when he set his sights on the territory of those monsters, there were no accidents.

Zhou Tian, who should have seen all the things that the NPCs arranged, had already seen everything, and after seeing the methods of those NPCs, in the end, Zhou Tian still succeeded in annexing the entire Bone Demon Territory.

Of course, annexing a Bone Demon territory may not seem like a big deal, and there are not many monsters like the Bone Demon within the player's power range. However, if Zhou Tian can annex a piece of the Bone Demon Territory, then he won't have any trouble annexing the territories of other monsters.

The reason is very simple, although the player's power range is very wide, but the enchantment traps laid by NPCs against those monsters are all sub-regional. Enchantment traps in any monster's territory are relatively strong, but that's the limit of what NPCs can do.

It can be said that everything that Zhou Tian encountered in the Bone Demon Territory right now. After going to other monster territories, at most I will encounter that kind of difficulty. In this way, if Zhou Tian can annex the Lower Bone Demon Territory, then let him annex other monster territories, naturally there will be no more problems.

As a result, in that case, with Zhou Tian's strength, he annexed the territory of more than a dozen monsters at that time. And after Zhou Tian annexed those territories, it can be said that Zhou Tian at that time had already captured a piece of territory that was enough to build an emperor-level monster within the scope of the player's power.

And after Zhou Tian got things done to this point, it was inevitable that they would attract the attention of NPCs and players at that time.

Attention on the player's side is okay. Players only think that everything in this world is a game at the moment. In this way, even if they found something, they would never have taken those things to heart at that time, and Zhou Tian only had to act according to his own plans, and he didn't need to care too much about the reactions of those players. Because it depends on the player's heart. They don't react to changes in the game.

The only NPCs that really need Zhou Tian's attention are those NPCs.

NPCs are the real enemies of monsters. Under the calculation of the Merge Dao Shendi, those NPCs already knew the corresponding plan early on. And according to those plans, those NPCs have already come to this point. Although there have been some accidents. But for those NPCs who are currently within the player's strength, there is no doubt that there is no problem with the plan of the Dao Shendi. Because they just followed that plan and used the player's combat power to lay down such a large territory now.

In this way, according to the current situation, compared to the player, those NPCs are the ones who are the most intolerant of changes in the current plan. For those players, as long as they can level up and fight monsters, everything else doesn't matter. But as for the NPCs, they want to keep their plans going smoothly, and as long as there is a situation that may affect their plans, they will definitely find a way to solve one if there is one.

In this way, just after Zhou Tian did things to such a point, when he knew that there was such a spoiler as Zhou Tian in the range of their potential power, those NPCs said that it was impossible for them to let Zhou Tian swallow up those monster territories in their power little by little.

Therefore, at that time, after learning of the appearance of Zhou Tian's hostile force, those NPCs reacted without saying a word. They didn't investigate Zhou Tian's origins, or the NPCs didn't care much about these things, and the only thought in their minds at the time was to kill or drive Zhou Tian away, an outsider.

In this way, when those NPCs discovered Zhou Tian and made preparations, they pulled out a large army to conquer Zhou Tian at that time without saying a word.

That is, after those NPCs started to act, those players soon found that many of the NPCs in their city suddenly left the city in a group. And when they saw that situation, some of those players would naturally be curious to follow over to see what those NPCs were going to do.

NPCs have no intention of stopping the player's actions. No matter what, players are also considered to be a combat force. If they had been at war with Zhou Tian and had a group of players joining, they would have been less stressed.

It's just that although those NPCs knew that Zhou Tian's strength was not weak, they only knew that Zhou Tian should be an external force, and they didn't think about how strong Zhou Tian could be within the range of their power. In this way, in the eyes of the NPC side, as long as Zhou Tian can be killed, the current turmoil will soon calm down.

It's just that the NPCs' ideas can't be said to be wrong, but when they made that kind of plan, it was obvious that they had forgotten to take into account the current environment in their current power range.

Perhaps in the eyes of those NPCs, the reason why Zhou Tian was able to make trouble within their power was because of his strength. And if they only need to kill Zhou Tian, the storm stirred up by Zhou Tian will naturally subside at that time. But when those NPCs thought like that, they didn't seem to think about why they were able to break through so many monsters' territory so quickly after Zhou Tian appeared, and whether there was any other reason for this.

That's right, Zhou Tian can stir up such a big storm because it depends on his strength, and strength is the foundation of what he does. If it weren't for Zhou Tian's sufficient strength, it is estimated that he would not have the ability to break through the enchantment of those NPCs at that time. Then everything that happened after that would not have happened.

However, Zhou Tian wants to annex the territory of those monsters, if those monsters want to resist, although Zhou Tian can still use his own strength to annex the other party, but I believe that if those monsters resist, even if Zhou Tian can finally annex those territories, it will definitely not take so much time.

To put it bluntly, although Zhou Tian's strength is the fundamental reason why he can annex such a large piece of monster territory at once, if it weren't for the cooperation of those monsters themselves, I believe that Zhou Tian would not have achieved such a big result in such a short period of time. So. Everything at the moment can only be done because of Zhou Tian's strength. But without the influence of those NPCs and players, Zhou Tian would not have been able to make his plan go so smoothly.

So, because of the miscalculation of the situation, when those NPCs followed their original ideas to find Sunday. I guess I'm afraid that there will be some trouble.

It's not what those NPCs think. Zhou Tian didn't have much power in his hands. He has no foundation other than his own strength.

Because the players forced the monsters in their power too badly, after Zhou Tian annexed the territory of those monsters, they actually completely took over their strength. Right now. Whether it was the territory of those monsters or their own strength, they had all completely fallen into Zhou Tian's hands.

In this way, when those NPCs come to deal with Zhou Tian at the moment, they actually need to face not only Zhou Tian, the emperor-level boss, but also the combined power of the monsters within almost the entire player's potential. If you add the special abilities that Zhou Tian has, the situation of those NPCs is even worse.

It is impossible for the NPC side to know the specific situation of Zhou Tian. So they didn't expect Zhou Tian to have that kind of strength. In this way, according to their original plan, the NPC army led a large number of players, and it was at that time that they directly found Zhou Tian.

And just when the NPC was looking for Zhou Tian, Zhou Tian happened to annex the territory of the unknown few monsters at that time. And after knowing the actions of those NPCs, Zhou Tian sneered and didn't talk nonsense, and with an order, he directly gathered the monster army in his hands at that time.

As a result, with the order of Zhou Tian's boss, the monsters he recovered within the player's power at that time immediately gathered with Zhou Tian's order at that time. In this way, after everything was over, Zhou Tian naturally gathered an army of monsters that was not weaker than the NPC side at that time.

After all, the mainstream creatures in this world are still monsters. The reason why players can finish off monsters is because of their special abilities, and NPCs can fight monsters because of the monsters' disunity. And when it comes to strength, even if you tie NPCs to players and multiply their strength by ten, you may not be able to surpass the monster side in the end.

And now, when Zhou Tian gathered the monster power that he had swallowed up within the player's power, he naturally pulled out an army of monsters that were more than a hundred times the number of the opponent. Although there are not many elites among the monsters newly subdued by Zhou Tian because they are often taken care of by players, the number of monster armies is there, and if Zhou Tian uses them, it will be enough to fight against the NPC side.

It wasn't until the NPC side arrived and saw the monster army opposite them that they were also startled at that time.

According to their original plan, the NPC side did not expect that they would need to face such a powerful enemy. So much so that when they confronted the monster army under Zhou Tian's command, those NPCs directly seemed a little overwhelmed at that time, and they didn't even know if they could defeat Zhou Tian.

Unlike the NPC side, the player's side is having a lot of fun at that time.

In the player's sight, NPCs are generally invincible, even if even if they usually encounter monsters, they kill monsters with one sword, and it is rare to see NPCs defeated by monsters. It's just that those players don't know that when those NPCs in their sight are slashing monsters with a knife, maybe in the real environment of this world, the number of casualties they pay will not be less than that of monsters.

Because they have always regarded NPCs as invincible, the player side does not think that Zhou Tian will be their opponent. As a result, after the two sides started the war, before they fought, those players had already decided that Zhou Tian would definitely lose at that time.

And if the NPC side wins, there is no danger for those players to think that they are following behind to pick up some bargains.

So. After making up for some situations in his mind, at that time, some players directly took the initiative to attack Zhou Tian's side at that time.

Neither the other players nor the NPCs reacted to the actions of those players.

It always takes some heuristics to know what your opponent is talking about. After seeing the number of monsters on Zhou Tian's side, the NPC knew that Zhou Tian's enemy was only quite difficult to deal with. And according to the situation at the time, if you can get more information related to the monsters on Zhou Tian's side, it will always be beneficial to the NPC side. And in this case, the NPCs who were originally just using each other with the players would not be in a hurry to start a war with Zhou Tian for the sake of so few players.

Similarly, a slightly more cautious player will notice that the NPC at the time had not yet started a war with Zhou Tian's side. In this situation, he was in a hurry to attack the monster army. That's the same as facing that bunch of monsters alone, and in this case, it's safer to take a look at the players who are the first to strike.

And in fact. When Sunday takes action against those who preempt the first move. Soon, the players who didn't make a move were glad that they didn't rush to deal with Zhou Tian.

What trouble can a few reckless players who come to him do to Zhou Tian? Zhou Tian didn't need to take the other party to heart at all. When he sees those players rushing towards his army of monsters. Zhou Tian didn't even need to deal with the other party himself, just unfolded his special abilities and made those players' shielding abilities useless. The group of players at that time was directly dumbfounded at that time.

In an instant, the monsters that were originally only nearly a thousand in their eyes suddenly became tens of millions, and when they looked at the endless monster army, even the strength of those monster armies was not stronger than them. Even if they knew that there were many NPCs and players behind them, those reckless players were already scared at that time.

Unfortunately, by the time those players get scared, it's too late for them to want to go back.

The power of the crowd tactics was fully demonstrated at this moment, originally according to the strength of those players, even if they couldn't fight Zhou Tian, they could defeat those ordinary monsters under Zhou Tian's hands. But in fact, Zhou Tian didn't even give the order for a general attack, but only a small number of monsters took action, and when thousands of orcs rushed down, the dozens of players who acted first fell under their weapons.

It can be said that the player's strength, which could usually kill at least a few hundred monsters, was killed at that time without any effect when facing the monster army. The lethality displayed by the monster army at that moment directly frightened those players.

also because of the reason why the monster army was not easy to mess with, there were even many players who retreated at that time. The only thing that gives them support for their beliefs at this time is the usual performance of those NPCs.

In the player's mind, NPCs should be able to deal with those monsters, and if those NPCs fight against the monster army, gain the upper hand, or remain undefeated, they will be able to take advantage of them at that time. However, if the NPC is defeated, it is estimated that those players will also be completely scattered.

For those players, it is clear whether it is the NPC side or Zhou Tian. Because of this, those NPCs at that time had obviously decided to use all their strength to deal with Zhou Tian.

Can't lose the player's help, those NPCs after seeing the situation on Zhou Tian's side clearly, they know that according to the combat power of the monster army gathered by Zhou Tian, don't say that their side is not too sure that they can defeat the other party, even if they really have the ability to defeat Zhou Tian, the price they need to pay is also unbearable for those NPCs.

So it doesn't matter if Zhou Tian's strength is weak, when they found out that Zhou Tian's strength was stronger than they thought, those NPCs had already secretly changed their original decision. From the plan of directly sending troops to kill Zhou Tian at the beginning, it was changed to using the player's strength to deal with Zhou Tian.

After all, the strength shown by Zhou Tian at this time is not weak, rather than relying on their strength to deal with Zhou Tian, it is indeed more cost-effective to let players use this strength. Moreover, the player's life is infinite anyway, and it will always reappear after a period of death, although this will also weaken the strength of some players, but in general, it will not affect the combat power of the player's side. And this is much better than the situation where their NPCs fight to the death with monsters.

In this way, when they found that the player had already retreated, those NPCs decided to launch a general attack on the monster army without saying a word.

Regardless of whether they win or not, the NPCs now know that they need to make a gesture to convince those players that they can defeat Zhou Tian and his army of monsters. Otherwise, if they themselves are already afraid, those players are estimated to be able to run away directly.

As a result, due to the environment at the time, after those NPCs were ruthless, they directly launched a general attack on the monster army under Zhou Tian.

And after seeing the actions of the NPC side, Zhou Tian was not afraid, anyway, the monsters were not afraid to fight for anything, since those NPCs were going to war, Zhou Tian naturally ordered his monster army to fight without fear.

As a result, under the order of the high-level leaders of both sides, Zhou Tian's monster army and the NPC army soon collided directly with each other at that time.

"Kill!" As the two sides met, the two sides that had a deep feud with blood naturally fought at that time.

The NPC side has always regarded monsters as their great enemies, and they will definitely kill monsters when they encounter them. And the monsters under Zhou Tian were trapped in their own territory because of those NPCs and became free-range 'livestock', and they must hate those NPCs. In this way, after the two sides go to war, they will not give the other side any chance to live.

As a result, when the two sides had made a mortal enmity, the members of both armies were desperate at that time. (To be continued......)
