1039: Chapter 417 Choice_3 1039: Chapter 417 Choice_3 By Zhou Tian’s side, knowing his character, those monsters could never settle their minds.
Given the situation back then, the only thing those monsters could do was to try everything to avoid being annexed by Zhou Tian.
Because Zhou Tian was too powerful, even the two emperor-level forces had to admit, no matter how much they struggled, it was very difficult to do anything to Zhou Tian.
Under these circumstances, all they could think of was how to protect themselves.
Forming a close alliance and then striving to resist was the only thod these two emperor-level forces could co up with.
Although it seed very simple on the surface, it cannot be denied that Zhou Tian was truly stopped by such a simple strategy.
When the two emperor-level forces joined hands, their combined might was no weaker than Zhou Tian.
In such a situation, where the two forces remained unmoved by any of Zhou Tian’s strategies and would go to great lengths to interfere with his actions at the slightest indication of movent, even at great cost to their own power, Zhou Tian, despite having many ideas, found himself helpless against such opponents at the ti.
If there were any other choice, Zhou Tian truly did not wish to fight such opponents.
Direct confrontation was the only impression those two forces left on Zhou Tian.
When facing them, it seed that most of Zhou Tian’s tactics had no chance to be utilized.
In that situation, Zhou Tian had no choice but to steel himself and face them with sheer power.
Fortunately, although the combined strength of those two forces was indeed capable of blocking Zhou Tian’s assaults, in reality, their strength still fell short of Zhou Tian’s.
Based on their usual encounters, it was very difficult for Zhou Tian to break through the enemy’s defense line under normal circumstances.
However, should Zhou Tian find an opportunity and manage to tear a gap in their defense line, he was fully confident and assured that the two forces would have no ability to stop him.
The alliance army is an alliance after all, no matter how well those two forces coordinate, in Zhou Tian’s view, they will definitely not reach the cooperation level of a single force’s internals.
After all, an alliance signifies that several ‘kings’ exist within the leadership of a team, and when an army has multiple leaders, there will naturally be no lack of problems.
In fact, Zhou Tian had long possessed a thod to deal with those two forces, but unless absolutely necessary, he did not want to use such a thod.
However, given the current circumstances, Zhou Tian knew he had no choice but to employ it.
Since it’s an alliance, and since there are two ‘kings’ among his current opponents, Zhou Tian simply needs to breed discord between the leaders of those two forces.
Directly turning those two forces against each other was nearly impossible, Zhou Tian knew.
Not to ntion the good relationship between elves and dwarves made conflict unlikely, but with an enemy like him around, he was confident that his deterrent power would probably prevent them from turning against each other.
However, while it might seem nearly impossible to turn those two forces into sworn enemies, if Zhou Tian only aid to create ideological conflicts between them, that wouldn’t be difficult at all.
No matter how solid the alliance’s treaties are, Zhou Tian believed one thing.
As long as they are intelligent creatures, they will definitely have their own thoughts.
Even if their thinking is simplistic, the right tactics can still be used to manipulate them.
Zhou Tian didn’t know much about the dwarves; while not saying he couldn’t plot against them, even if he really had such an idea, it wouldn’t be easy to do so.
Yet, though Zhou Tian wasn’t entirely sure he could manipulate the dwarves, if it were about the elves, he certainly had a way to sche against them.
If Zhou Tian really intended to plot against the dwarves, he realized after much thought that apart from knowing their love for alcohol, there weren’t many other points of leverage.
Clearly, even if he was aware of this, he had no way to exploit this knowledge at the mont, as there were too many mbers within the dwarf force he was facing, and Zhou Tian was presently a monster.
Even if his beastman subordinates could sohow procure the alcohol, acquiring enough to influence the number of dwarves involved would be an impossible task.
Compared to the dwarves, the elves were easier to exploit.
Elves had no glaring weaknesses, but when there were two elf factions on a continent, and one happened to be dark elves, then the factors Zhou Tian could use multiplies.
Indeed, elves had no significant weak points, but the enmity between the dark elves and ordinary elves spanning several epochs was laid bare.
As long as this grudge existed, Zhou Tian was certain he wouldn’t lack ideas to deal with the dark elves.
Zhou Tian could imagine that if there were two paths, one leading to substantial benefits and the other to fewer but with the chance to kill or annex Bella and her faction of elves, internal conflict would surely erupt within those two emperor-level forces.
The dwarves were motivated solely by benefit, and their alliance with the elves, frankly, was still for benefit—they feared being annexed by Zhou Tian.
If not for this reason, those dwarves probably wouldn’t maintain such good relations with the dark elves.
After all, dwarves trusted ordinary elves more.
While they held no animosity towards dark elves, they lacked a personal connection.
As for the dark elves, to deal with the ordinary elves, they would likely agree to give up a portion of their benefit.
Knowing that the dark elves and dwarves would undoubtedly have slight differences in their philosophies was exactly why Zhou Tian felt so confident his thods would surely disrupt the defensive stance of those two emperor-level forces.
