Chapter 3059: 1009_2

Like this..."Bastards, you’ve got some guts!"

At that moment, those High Levels of the Major Powers who had always lived in comfort could only let out a few angry roars. After all, Zhou Tian’s subordinates’ living beings didn’t care about their status in the slightest; they attacked with no scruples, going all out. Given the strength of Zhou Tian’s subordinates, those living beings who had been Ambushed back then already had no Ability to resist.

In the end, that group of High Levels of the Major Powers who kept emphasizing their identity, hoping to make the Enemies hesitate, saw that their actions had no effect, and Zhou Tian’s subordinates gave them no chance to Escape. In that battle, fought to the bitter end, it was no Accident that those living beings were completely wiped out.

So, since they had at that time successfully achieved their goal and, following Zhou Tian’s order, had annihilated all those High Levels of the forces that attacked them, Zhou Tian’s subordinates naturally didn’t linger on the spot. Without another word, they pulled back.

Only...

"Boom!"

Given that even then their situation was already quite bad, the reason those High Levels of the Major Powers were still relaxed and off their guard, never imagining they would walk into an Ambush, was certainly not that simple.

In truth, the reason those living beings dared to act like that was entirely because their forces held tremendous strength and influence in that world at the time. Even if they were defeated in that moment, under normal circumstances no one would dare move against them. Because just by virtue of their status, if they really did run into some Ambush, regardless of whether the other side’s Actions had any effect, even if they were actually injured or killed, with the Ability of the powers they belonged to, revenge would surely follow in an extremely short time.

Whoever dared to Take Action against them would basically end up with their entire clan exterminated. Under those circumstances, in that world, naturally no force would dare target them, and those living beings thus had the Confidence to be careless.

As a result, although because of the special nature of Zhou Tian’s subordinates, they didn’t take the Enemies’ identities seriously and ended up annihilating them all through a single Ambush, the identities and status of those living beings didn’t change because of that. Once they were taken out by Zhou Tian’s Troops, their influence naturally quickly began to show.

On top of that, those living beings had already sent out requests for aid beforehand, so after Zhou Tian’s subordinates killed them, a portion of those forces’ reinforcements had already rushed over. When they discovered that their own High Levels had actually been taken out on their own Territory, even though they hadn’t yet received corresponding orders, those living beings still immediately made the Decision to attack Zhou Tian’s subordinates.

Thus, when things developed to that point, no one had expected the two sides to start exchanging fire ahead of schedule. The strength of Zhou Tian’s subordinates was nowhere near as terrifying as Zhou Tian’s; facing the Enemy Side’s reinforcements, they had no guarantee of Success. Likewise, because their main Team hadn’t arrived yet, the Team that clashed with Zhou Tian’s subordinates also had no Ability to completely take them down.

So under those circumstances, once Zhou Tian’s subordinates started to fight the Enemies, although they briefly seized the Upper Hand, they still had no Ability to wipe the other side out. Thus, given the situation at the time, if no Accident occurred, Zhou Tian’s living beings really might have ended up taking losses.

After all, no matter what, the place they were fighting was, strictly speaking, still the Territory of those Major Powers. Once they started fighting, unless Zhou Tian’s subordinates could withdraw in an extremely short time, the longer the Combat dragged on, the more the number of Enemies they faced would continue to increase.

So, although for the moment they could still maintain some Advantage, with their strength far from Zhou Tian’s, if they were truly to fall into the opponent’s Human Sea Tactic, they’d basically be finished.

And given the situation at the time, once they understood their own predicament, how could Zhou Tian’s subordinates still want to continue fighting the Enemies? While fighting, they were already looking for a way out.

Unfortunately, leaving aside the Enemies constantly converging from all directions to deal with them—making it so Zhou Tian’s subordinates basically had no safe retreat Route at all—even the living beings currently locked in battle with them had adopted a stance of dying if necessary to keep them there. So no matter how Zhou Tian’s subordinates tried to break through, under those circumstances they had no Method to truly shake off the Enemies they were fighting.

Under those conditions, if nothing unexpected happened, once the Troops of those forces kept arriving and Zhou Tian’s subordinates were surrounded, they’d likely have little Hope of ever making it out alive.

In fact, by the time things had developed to that point, after several failed attempts to Escape, Zhou Tian’s subordinates themselves already felt they’d probably been planted.

However...

Although the situation of Zhou Tian’s subordinates was indeed far from good at that moment—completely caught in the Enemy Side’s Human Sea Tactic—if nothing unexpected happened, the upcoming Combat would steadily drain their strength. And once their power had been whittled down to a certain level, whether they were captured alive or Killed would both become very real possibilities.

Given the situation at the time, it looked like Zhou Tian’s subordinates were definitely doomed. But the Problem was that, with Zhou Tian’s subordinates in such a bad spot, how Zhou Tian would respond was something that absolutely had to be taken into account.

If Zhou Tian refused to rescue those subordinates of his, then they were unquestionably doomed. But given Zhou Tian’s strength, if he was willing to save his subordinates, then those living beings wouldn’t necessarily die.

In truth, Zhou Tian didn’t care about those subordinates at all, since they were just some temporary recruits. Not only was there no real bond between them, their only effect was to serve as a pair of hands for Zhou Tian. If he wanted, he could create as many such living beings as he liked. And since they had no special Value, even if Zhou Tian abandoned them outright, it wouldn’t be anything strange.

When Zhou Tian Took Action, the scale of destruction he caused need not be mentioned; just from seeing Zhou Tian’s Actions, those living beings immediately knew this stranger they’d never seen before was one hundred percent an Enemy.

Thus, once they confirmed Zhou Tian’s identity, the nearby living beings, regardless of how strong Zhou Tian was, chose to attack without a word. After all, under those conditions, it was obvious from Zhou Tian’s appearance that he wasn’t coming with good intentions. Unless those living beings no longer wished to continue their current Actions, once they knew Zhou Tian was the reinforcements for the Target they were besieging, there was no way they could allow him to approach the Battlefield.

And to be blunt, although Zhou Tian had revealed part of his strength, it still wasn’t enough to throw those powers into absolute Despair. So, even knowing Zhou Tian wasn’t a Weaker and having seen his attacks, because he’d shown up alone, once they realized the Enemy was just a single person, those living beings currently in Enemy Battle weren’t scared off by his attack. Instead, after confirming Zhou Tian’s identity, they chose to attack him without hesitation.

"Take him out!"

"Surround him, don’t let him run."

"Mages, prepare your Magic; Warriors, move up; Warlocks, get ready to cast!"
