Mighty Lord Chapter 275 - 275 260 Ratman Branch

275: Chapter 260 Ratman Branch 275: Chapter 260 Ratman Branch Zhou Tian knew that it would be difficult for him to improve his own strength in a short ti.

Therefore, what he could do for now was to enhance the strength of the Sheepman Tribe, and find an opportunity to expand his territory, which would, through the amplifying effect of the territory, provide him with powerful strength.

To enhance the strength of his territory, Zhou Tian initially had no other thod besides expansion.

However, due to the newly independent Demonic Transformation Pool, Zhou Tian now had a chance to slightly increase his strength in a short ti.

Monsters with a Demonic Transformation Pool can breed soldiers, which is different from regular monsters, and also possess so other distinctive traits.

For instance, the unique ability to develop branches is a privilege of monsters with a Demonic Transformation Pool.

According to the rules that the strength of a monster is determined by the size of its territory, all monsters should endeavour to expand their territories.

By this logic, they wouldn’t be able to help lower-rank monsters develop but rather annex them.

In reality, if not for other reasons, monsters might have unified the area long ago due to continuous fighting.

However, this situation did not occur because of the intentional interference and adjustnt of the World Rules.

The World Rules prompted Pope figures to act in the present way because of the huge rewards it offered them for developing branches.

Originally, monsters could only enhance their strength according to the size of the territories they held.

Yet, due to the interference of World Rules, even if the territories were occupied by the vassal tribes of a monster, monsters possessing a Demonic Transformation Pool could still enjoy the sa amplifying effect.

Naturally, this rule seed inconspicuous, for increasing strength was still the priority, and the creatures under their control occupying the lands was far less convenient than they occupied it themselves.

However, due to the continental situation, these Pope figures had no choice but to develop their branches at that mont.

Although these Pope figures would prefer to occupy all territories by themselves, the issue at present is that apart from the initial Dragon Clan possibly unifying everything, the subsequent popes, no matter how powerful, still have nurous opponents.

As long as there are rivals, any force would find it difficult to annex others to expand itself.

Especially under the current circumstances, where the superior consciousness of the world intentionally or unintentionally prevents monsters from unifying, hence, it’s difficult for these popes to expand their territories.

Eventually, when the popes established an agreent not to attack each other rashly, besides developing their branches and having advanced monsters under their nas compete, they had no other way to expand their territories.

However, apart from the weakness that monsters like Zhou Tian might beco independent after developing, it could be interpreted in so sense that developing branches is more beneficial than expansion.

First of all, if you annex a territory, the increase in strength that the territory provides is set, without exception.

However, if the branches annex a piece of land, not only can these monster groups gain an enhancing effect, but their superiors can also enjoy such an effect.

This ans that a single territory enhances two groups, which is a worthwhile transaction no matter how you look at it!

Moreover, every monster has a limit to the number of soldiers and the number of bosses in its tribe.

Although powerful monster groups can have a larger number of soldiers and bosses, there is still an upper limit.

Once the limit is reached, there is no way to increase the number of soldiers and bosses.

Even without worrying about the separation of subordinates, the initial Monster Empires were actually set up in a “ladder formation”.

Therefore, under Zhou Tian’s current circumstances, if he were to separate a portion of his Sheepman tribe, while the pure Sheepman Tribe’s strength isn’t weakened, several vassal tribes would directly find themselves under his control.

In addition, Zhou Tian still had one advantage he could fully exploit.

Because of the agreent among the Popes, they could not intervene in the battles between their subordinate monsters.

Therefore, even if their high-ranking monsters are threatened, the popes can only secretly help.

Under various techniques, most can be rescued, but over the years, there have been quite a few advanced monsters who were annexed for a variety of reasons.

Although Zhou Tian was indeed capable, the Sheepman Tribe was an advanced monster group, which was far inferior compared to the real Pope-level forces.

However, because the Sheepman Tribe was only an advanced monster group, the agreent reached by the Popes didn’t limit Zhou Tian’s action.
