Mighty Lord Chapter 195 - 195 195 Forcing the Enemy into a Final Battle

195: Chapter 195: Forcing the Enemy into a Final Battle 195: Chapter 195: Forcing the Enemy into a Final Battle The undead monsters had always been reluctant to face Zhou Tian directly in battle, not because they lacked military power, but because they utilized the terrain to wear down their enemies.

To scatter the enemy forces, those undead monsters didn’t mind allowing the enemy to capture so of their territories.

However, in the sa vein, while the undead monsters didn’t mind losing so territory in pursuit of their goals, they wouldn’t let Zhou Tian have his way when he tried to consolidate their territory.

Based on the usual habits of these undead monsters, they had long prepared a thod to deal with opponents like Zhou Tian, who intended to first consolidate the newly occupied territory before advancing further.

As a result, soon after Zhou Tian halted his march, a large number of undead monsters erged from their hiding places within the territories originally occupied by Zhou Tian.

After these undead monsters erged, they naturally began to fight with Zhou Tian’s beastman forces.

Based on their strength, Zhou Tian’s beastman undoubtedly had the absolute advantage.

After all, the beastman tribe had already advanced to beco one of the powerful races amongst the middle-rank monsters, while these undead monsters could hardly claim a position in the middle ranks.

Under such circumstances, not only could the undead not handle the combined attacks of Zhou Tian’s archer legion, but they also couldn’t compete with Zhou Tian’s beastn in a straight-forward battle.

However, the hallmark of the undead monsters was their overwhelming numbers despite their weak strength.

So, even though they knew that their attacks on the beastn would result in defeat, the undead persistently launched attacks on Zhou Tian’s beastn stationed within their territory.

Consequently, despite Zhou Tian’s preparedness, there were still so casualties.

Anyway, Zhou Tian’s beastn were fighting on the opponent’s turf, and it was evident from the start that they could not possibly gain any advantage.

Even if Zhou Tian’s beastn could hold an advantage in individual or group battles, they would suffer when more undead would suddenly jump out to attack them from their flank.

Even if the majority of the beastn were not killed, they would definitely sustain so losses.

Thus, it would be impossible for Zhou Tian’s beastn to avoid casualties given such continuous occurrences.

Zhou Tian was well-prepared for the casualties resulting from combat.

After all, when he made such arrangents, he knew he would face the undead’s counterattack.

Therefore, Zhou Tian appeared remarkably composed regarding the casualties among his beastn.

In the past, facing such backlash from the undead, Zhou Tian would most likely have to retreat.

Even if other monsters faced this level of attack, they would have difficulties bearing such military consumption.

Thus, facing the undead monsters’ attack, the majority of monsters would collapse under the human sea tactic.

However, it was evident that the undead monsters had chosen the wrong opponent this ti.

Given the strength of the beastn tribe and Zhou Tian’s plan, the undead monsters’ actions were indeed troubleso.

Yet, trying to repel Zhou Tian was still a very difficult task for them.

As a result, Zhou Tian, despite the large number of casualties among the forces based at his rear, had no plans to pull his troops back.

He remained stationed in place, allowing the undead to wreak havoc in the territories he occupied.

In Zhou Tian’s view, he never placed those mischievous undead monsters from his rear in his eyes.

It’s easy to understand.

No matter what the undead monsters planned, one fact remained unaltered – Zhou Tian had indeed occupied the territory of the undead.

Once Zhou Tian had occupied the undead’s territory, it would be impossible for them to redeploy their main forces in Zhou Tian’s rear, no matter what ambush they had in place.

Therefore, although there were significant casualties among the beastn at Zhou Tian’s rear, the reality was that not only were Zhou Tian’s forces’ casualties not severe, but the undead monsters also suffered far greater losses in the process of inflicting these casualties.

anwhile, because those territories were already occupied by Zhou Tian, the undead were forced to fight on away ground when they re-erged.

Without the benefit of troop replenishnts, regardless of how many ambush troops they have, the dwindling numbers upon each bout of death couldn’t possibly pose much of a threat to Zhou Tian.

Moreover, the preparations made by Zhou Tian prior to the march weren’t without effect.

Zhou Tian had given a strict order to Zhang San.

If there were casualties in his army, Zhang San was to promptly replenish his troop strength.

Hence, when the Beastn suffering heavy casualties in the rear, there would be no need for Zhou Tian to fall back as Zhang San would directly dispatch adequate forces to handle the situation.

With wave after wave of Beastman teams continuously advancing towards Zhou Tian’s large army, and engaging the undead monsters they encountered, Zhou Tian’s forces may not be replenished in the short-term, but considering the situation at that ti, those undead monsters lying in ambush wouldn’t have a chance of survival.

Being strategic, Zhou Tian was never worried about the disarray in his rear nor dealing with these undead monsters.

In contrast, due to changing circumstances, the undead monsters soon beca restless.

Their previous calm deanor primarily stemd from habitual thinking.

In the past, these undead monsters had always managed to repel their enemies in the sa manner.

Hence, they believed they could drive Zhou Tian out of their territory using similar tactics.

However, when the undead monsters found that their old thods were ineffective in warding off Zhou Tian, they began to make other moves.

Even though they were accustod to using their old thods to repel enemies, this didn’t an they would stand by and watch while Zhou Tian annexed their territory when their strategies failed.

Therefore, the mont these undead monsters realized their tried and true thods were ineffective against Zhou Tian, they hastily organized an attack.

Regardless, the undead were adamant about not letting Zhou Tian occupy their territory.

Since their old tactics had failed to repel Zhou Tian, they decided to take the hard way.

Even though the Beastn Tribe demonstrated formidable combat power when invading the undead territory, the undead monsters knew all too well that they might not necessarily win a hard fight against them.

However, given the current situation, there was no other choice for the undead.

Hence, even though they knew that they might fail in a hard fight, the undead monsters still chose to do so without hesitation.

In the end, just as the undead territory occupied by Zhou Tian was gradually transforming into Beastman territory, the responsive undead monsters quickly organized a huge team and confronted him.

“No need to rush, they are more anxious than now.” Zhou Tian appeared unusually calm as the two large armies confronted each other.

He knew very well that the undead monsters were far more anxious than he was and the first one to strike in a standoff might not necessarily gain an advantage.

Especially when there was no strategy in place, the one who acted hastily often made mistakes.

Given the current situation, any mistakes could potentially lead to a total collapse of either Zhou Tian’s forces or the undead.

Having figured out that the undead were eager to start the war, Zhou Tian made no preparations to attack during standoff.

Instead, he kept issuing orders to fortify defenses in front of him.

After building nurous fortifications and setting up military formations, he simply awaited the undead monsters’ attack.

In fact, Zhou Tian’s thinking was quite correct.

While he was making defensive preparations, the undead indeed didn’t just stand by and wait.
