No matter how good Zhou Tian’s attitude was, it couldn’t change the fact that there was a substantial gap between the conditions he proposed and what the goblins had in mind.
The goblins only thought of taking advantage of Zhou Tian, but Zhou Tian started straight away asking for benefits from the goblin clan, so they could hardly be happy with his terms.
“Did you get sothing wrong?
We ca to you because we know you lost to those NPCs in the war, so we wanted to lend a hand.
But the conditions you proposed are over the top!” Although the goblin envoys were not happy with the terms Zhou Tian put forward, they did not dare show their dissatisfaction in front of him.
After all, Zhou Tian’s previous conduct was a constant reminder that if they showed any malice, he probably wouldn’t hesitate to kill them.
Zhou Tian was rather pleased with the performance of the goblin representative, nodding his head before replying, “You’re not wrong, I admit I did suffer a bit at the hands of the NPCs.
But given my foundation, what I suffered from those NPCs hardly matters.
I could fight them again if I want to now.”
As soon as Zhou Tian finished speaking, a hint of joy flashed across the goblins’ faces.
Apparently, they were hoping for Zhou Tian to engage with the NPCs again.
After all, Zhou Tian and them had a strained relationship, and the NPCs were their mortal enemies.
If the two were to fight, the benefactors would naturally be the goblin clan.
However, it was clear that the goblins had celebrated prematurely.
Just as a hint of joy flashed across the goblin’s faces, Zhou Tian suddenly changed the topic, “But although I have the ability to fight the NPCs right now, I don’t necessarily want to have a fight to the death with them.
Such action doesn’t benefit the developnt of the Bearman Clan.
I’ve been thinking recently about whether to launch an attack against territories besides the NPC’s.”
Upon hearing Zhou Tian’s words, the goblins’ expressions changed dramatically.
Although there are many monster groups on this continent, the goblins knew that apart from the NPCs, they were undoubtedly one of the most powerful forces.
Given their locations, the goblins didn’t doubt that if Zhou Tian truly abandoned his assault on the NPCs and set his sights on other targets, their goblin clan would likely be the first ones he attacked.
With this thought, the goblins quickly understood Zhou Tian’s intentions.
Obviously, Zhou Tian’s words just now could be considered a threat.
His intention was very clear.
If the goblins were unwilling to agree to his terms, he wouldn’t mind teaming up with the NPCs.
Whether he tead up with the goblins to attack the NPCs or tead up with the NPCs to attack the goblins, he indicated there would be no difference for him.
Once Zhou Tian made his position clear, the goblins began to feel that they were in for trouble.
They didn’t know if Zhou Tian’s words were true, but upon careful contemplation, the goblin envoys couldn’t deny that his words seed highly credible.
Given Zhou Tian’s current conditions, if he allied with one side to attack the other, both the NPCs and the goblins would certainly feel a significant impact.
Even though Zhou Tian had previous disagreents with the NPCs, both sides would prioritize benefits over pride.
If Zhou Tian expressed such intentions and the high levels of the NPCs agreed, it wouldn’t be impossible for them to join forces.
With such thoughts in mind, the goblin envoys began to feel uneasy.
The initial idea of the goblins was to use the guise of helping Zhou Tian to leverage his strength to strike at the NPCs.
In line with the goblins’ thinking, although they wouldn’t offend Zhou Tian easily, they felt that they were in a dominant position.
Therefore, they didn’t take Zhou Tian too seriously, or else the goblins, no matter how greedy, wouldn’t propose such cooperation conditions.
Now, Zhou Tian made his intentions clear, they realized that the situation was not as they had expected.
Zhou Tian didn’t need them to deal with the NPCs.
Instead, whoever could offer Zhou Tian benefits, he would help them fight the other side.
When this idea crossed the goblins’ minds, Zhou Tian’s position suddenly reversed — he went from being the one who was asking for help to being the dominant party.
As a result, they had no choice but to seriously consider the terms Zhou Tian proposed, regardless of how excessive they may seem.
However, clearly, the terms put forward by Zhou Tian were vastly different from the authority granted to the goblin envoys beforehand.
Even though the goblin envoys were aware that Zhou Tian did indeed have the qualifications to put forward such terms, they could not respond due to lack of authority.
So, even though they recognized Zhou Tian’s qualifications to propose such terms in their hearts, the goblins still couldn’t respond imdiately.
