Mighty Lord Chapter 1160 - 1160 458 Laying a Solid Foundation

1160: Chapter 458 Laying a Solid Foundation 1160: Chapter 458 Laying a Solid Foundation Zhou Tian, following his original plan to conquer the territories of the emperor-level bosses, knew he could not guarantee the retention of his position as the Human Emperor.

But given that he had already lost the initiative, Zhou Tian was well aware that even if he managed to maintain his strength, the difficulties in this effort would be significant.

Thus, based on the situation at the ti, Zhou Tian suddenly realized that if he changed his approach to resolve this crisis, it would actually be quite simple.

Zhou Tian’s initial plan was to annex the territories of the emperor-level bosses to compensate for the loss of his own.

During this process, Zhou Tian had to ensure that he annexed territory faster than he lost it.

Otherwise, if he ended up losing more than he gained, his strength, no matter how great at the ti, would most likely cause him to drop in realm.

Given the performance of the demigods and emperor-level bosses at the ti, eting that requirent was extrely difficult for Zhou Tian.

To put it bluntly, Zhou Tian was rely giving his all in the struggle, and even if he failed to retain his position as the Human Emperor in the end, it wouldn’t have been surprising.

However, once Zhou Tian had a new idea, he suddenly found that his previously decent plan now seed so flawed that he was too lazy to continue with it.

Annexing the territory of one emperor-level boss indeed brought significant gains, but Zhou Tian would need quite a bit of ti to assimilate it.

It was precisely because of the ti needed to assimilate those territories that Zhou Tian’s original plan had seed insecure, leaving him vulnerable to being overthrown by monsters and NPCs at any mont.

Before this, since Zhou Tian had no better plan, he persisted with his flawed plan, knowing full well its shortcomings, for he had no better alternative at the ti.

But everything changed with the ergence of Zhou Tian’s new idea.

Zhou Tian suddenly realized that his thod of using force to seize the emperor-level bosses’ territories and then slowly annexing them was far too clumsy.

While forceful annexation might be fine under normal circumstances, as monsters aren’t lacking in ti, and thus force is often the mainstream thod of expansion, Zhou Tian found himself in a situation where, although the ti needed to absorb new territory wasn’t long, even this seemingly short duration had beco a potentially fatal weakness.

That weakness was Zhou Tian’s greatest vulnerability, and precisely because of it, the demigods and emperor-level bosses, despite being far weaker than Zhou Tian, still posed a threat to him.

However, once Zhou Tian’s new idea was ford, the efforts of those emperor-level bosses and demigods beca suddenly aningless.

Because with Zhou Tian’s new approach of directly annexing the entire monster forces rather than slowly assimilating them, there would no longer be any need for assimilation ti.

With the elimination of ti spent assimilating new territories, Zhou Tian’s odds of winning, even in a head-on hard fight, seed to have significantly increased.

After such a thought occurred to him, Zhou Tian no longer worried about the danger of dropping in realm.

At the sa ti, his attitude towards the emperor-level boss improved considerably due to his new plan.

Without any nonsense, Zhou Tian was not afraid of noncompliance.

Thus, when he had his orc clone escort the emperor-level boss before him, Zhou Tian clearly stated his demands right then and there.

“According to your actions, I should rightfully kill you.

However, considering that it has not been easy for you to reach this level, I have decided to give you a chance.

What do you say, would you like to join the Beast Race?”

Zhou Tian spoke in a very calm tone, but the faint killing intent emanating from him was a constant reminder to the emperor-level boss of his predicant.

While Zhou Tian appeared approachable, the emperor-level boss had no doubt that if he dared to refuse Zhou Tian now, he would probably be cut down imdiately.

Under normal circumstances, if Zhou Tian were still an emperor-level boss, even if he were truly defeated, the likelihood of that emperor-level boss defecting to Zhou Tian would be slim, with the most probable outco being that the boss would fight with all its might, possibly inflicting so damage on Zhou Tian after sacrificing its own life.

However, now that Zhou Tian had beco the Human Emperor, and the emperor-level boss had been thoroughly convinced of his defeat, the response to Zhou Tian’s question was completely different.

Monsters are highly reluctant to defect to a being of the sa level, as it not only signifies their incompetence but also leads to a great reduction in their strength after defection.

That’s why, unless there is no glimr of hope, monsters would not consider defecting to soone of the sa level.

However, in contrast to defecting to a monster of the sa level, when it cos to submitting to a more powerful entity, generally any monster would show little resistance.
