858: Chapter 378 The Scapegoat_2 858: Chapter 378 The Scapegoat_2 When Zhou Tian received such a letter, he truly found himself torn between laughter and tears.
Even with Zhou Tian’s personality, he would normally ignore such a plea for help.
Not to ntion that he was the one who instigated everything in secret to begin with, even if he hadn’t, Zhou Tian would definitely not entertain such an impolite request.
But while Zhou Tian could ignore that letter of request for help, the other monsters would not react the sa way.
No matter how those monsters acted in regular combat, essentially, most of them were quite simple.
Just like the letter seeking assistance, the monsters fighting against NPCs believed that the others were duty-bound to co to their aid and thus also sent out such a letter of request.
Similarly, when the other monsters received that letter asking for help, though they might have been as annoyed by the tone of the letter as Zhou Tian, they ultimately still chose to deploy troops after so consideration.
Thus, no matter what Zhou Tian’s response was, that group of monsters indeed succeeded in securing reinforcents in their own way.
When a substantial number of reinforcents from other monster forces joined the battle, the slight advantage the NPC side had just gained was naturally lost in that mont.
Since that battle between the monsters and NPCs concerned his own plans, Zhou Tian was very attentive to the outco.
And because he cared, every single movent on that battlefield was fully witnessed by him.
Also because Zhou Tian was continuously monitoring, he noticed that besides himself, almost every other monster in the Mainland had co to aid that group.
Even if he was unhappy with them, he couldn’t help but make a statent at that ti.
Whether sothing is right or wrong, when everyone else is doing it, even if you’re unwilling, you still have to follow suit.
Otherwise, being the sole dissenter can quickly lead to isolation, which would decidedly not be a good thing for Zhou Tian.
So, even if he was annoyed by the tone of the plea for help from that group of monsters, in the end, Zhou Tian still ordered his monsters to mobilize and assist them in their territory.
However, based on the combat power of that team, Zhou Tian did not think they would actually be of much help after their arrival.
It was a gesture of solidarity; Zhou Tian was not really supporting them militarily, but at the very least, he wanted to show an attitude of support.
Otherwise, his complete indifference to their plea for help, combined with his plans to instigate a civil war, could provoke the ire of all the nearby monsters.
Therefore, dispatching troops to aid that group of monsters was the first step, and following that, Zhou Tian had to temporarily shelve his plans.
The unspoken rules of the Mainland were far more complex than he had anticipated.
Judging by the behavior of those nearby monsters, Zhou Tian had no doubt that if he dared to implent his plans at this juncture, he would instantly be seen as an enemy by all the nearby monsters.
And should that happen, worrying about seizing other monsters’ territories would be the least of his concerns—preserving his own territory from their grasp would be an achievent.
The further developnts naturally beca increasingly straightforward.
With the support of many monsters and no Domain-based powerful beings participating in the combat, even if the NPC army was elite, they gradually started to fall behind.
Assuming no accidents occurred, it should not take much longer for the NPC forces to be driven back by the Monster Alliance team.
No one was surprised by any of this.
At this point in the battle, one could say that everyone had achieved their goals.
The monsters had defended the integrity of their territory, while the NPCs had achieved their objective of military training.
Many NPC soldiers had been honed through the war with the monsters, and even in the throes of combat, quite a few breakthroughs had occurred.
Although no new Domain-level powerhouses had erged, the high levels of the NPC army were convinced that this baptism of war would greatly contribute to the breakthroughs of their NPC soldiers.
They believed that the experience from today’s battle would be of imnse help for the NPCs aspiring to make breakthroughs in the future.
Since their troops were trained, they considered it a mission accomplished.
Hence, even if the NPCs were not in an especially favorable position, they exhibited no signs of anxiety.
Fighting against so many monsters was their gain, and getting driven back was of no great consequence.
After all, those NPCs never truly intended to occupy the monsters’ territories.
With the gains from this battle, the NPCs were quite satisfied.
