Chapter 11

In the world where Zhou Tian currently resides, there is one aspect that is better than Earth, and that is the creatures in this world do not have as many ulterior motives. Especially for beings like monsters, which are inherently more straightforward, although they have many weaknesses, they will never make arbitrary changes under any circumstances when adhering to the rules.

Although Zhou Tian's recent performance has been outstanding, the half-orc leader did not become wary of him because of his performance. On the contrary, after Zhou Tian achieved success, the leader immediately rewarded him. As a result, after several operations, the strength in Zhou Tian's hands grew significantly.

In two operations, especially the second attack on the NPC team, although he did not completely annihilate them, the benefits Zhou Tian gained from severely damaging a hundred NPC soldiers were quite astonishing.

Apart from the experience he gained, several of the half-orc warriors in Zhou Tian's hands evolved through that battle. Although they did not undergo a complete transformation, Zhou Tian's previously all-ordinary half-orc warriors finally had a few elite half-orc warriors.

At the same time, by killing over a dozen NPCs, Zhou Tian received a reward of nearly two hundred half-orc warriors. In his second operation, the number of NPCs killed by Zhou Tian was even greater, and with such significant achievements, the half-orc leader naturally could not give him a small reward!

As a result, with a wave of the half-orc leader's hand, the number of half-orc warriors in Zhou Tian's hands reached nearly a thousand. At the same time, the number of half-orc warriors Zhou Tian received monthly increased from dozens to over a hundred.

It can be said that through those two achievements, Zhou Tian leaped from being one of the weakest half-orc warriors to one of the strongest. Apart from his own strength possibly being a bit weaker, Zhou Tian now had the complete ability to challenge the position of half-orc leader.

However, such opportunities as before are already quite rare. Now that the NPC village is aware of his existence as an enemy, even if they do not know how to deal with it, they will definitely not be as unprepared as before when the NPCs leave the village, especially against the half-orc warriors outside the village.

In such an environment, apart from training the half-orc warriors under his command, Zhou Tian really had nothing much to do every day.

As a result, in that somewhat boring environment, Zhou Tian stayed for several months. During this period, although Zhou Tian and the NPC tribe had a few conflicts, small-scale wars like before did not occur again. On the contrary, while Zhou Tian did not gain much from the NPC side, he encountered several players whose movements were uncertain. However, apart from those powerful players whom Zhou Tian did not dare to provoke, he only managed to kill two weak players.

Of course, players are players, even if they are just beginners, Zhou Tian still received generous rewards for killing them. Although the Blood Moon Overlord did not promote him to the position of half-orc leader, the experience rewarded to Zhou Tian allowed him to evolve again.

As a result, after that evolution, Zhou Tian became a half-orc warrior with the talents of being very fast and very strong.

At the same time, after such a long time, through several small achievements and daily accumulation, Zhou Tian did not let the number of his troops suffer significant losses. In the end, the number of troops in his hands unknowingly exceeded a thousand.

Over a thousand half-orc warriors, and if the relatively useless beast slaves are included, Zhou Tian now has over ten thousand troops. In that regard, Zhou Tian's power has basically caught up with the half-orc warrior he originally followed.

However, when Zhou Tian developed to this point, he had also basically reached a bottleneck. If Zhou Tian could not evolve into a half-orc leader, then even if he continued like this, his power would not progress, and his influence would not develop further.

In such a situation, Zhou Tian was unwilling to let his development be limited, so he naturally had other thoughts.

To enhance his strength, he naturally needed to achieve something. To become a half-orc leader, he also needed to achieve something significant. In such a situation, when Zhou Tian had the intention to achieve something, he naturally set his sights on his 'neighbor'.

The sources of achievement for monsters are limited, and those that are significant are few. Compared to those monsters that have existed for a long time, Zhou Tian needed to have some remarkable achievements to stand out quickly. In his current environment, the greatest achievement he could achieve was to capture the NPC village.

After being in this world for so long, Zhou Tian has gained a certain understanding of the current situation. For example, the sacrifices needed for the refresh of new monsters, according to the information Zhou Tian has gathered, the most crucial part is the casualties of players, apart from some unknown elements.

Although Zhou Tian does not know how the monsters benefit from the death of players, based on previous experiences, he is completely confident in the correctness of his speculation.

Thus, in the significant achievements of any level of monsters, killing players naturally occupies a considerable portion. Apart from that, to achieve greater achievements, one can only think on a larger scale.

The power and territory of forces are compared in battles. Although killing a few NPCs is meritorious, it is not significant enough to catch the attention of high-level bosses. For Zhou Tian's situation to attract attention from above, he needs to think on a larger scale.

To be useful on a larger scale, Zhou Tian, unless he kills the top-tier NPCs, has only one choice: to capture a city.

Monster attacks on cities are a common setting in games. In this real game world, monster attacks on cities happen frequently.

NPCs generally want to counterattack the monsters, and the monster faction does not want the NPCs to continue existing. Thus, the cities and villages where the NPCs gather are naturally quite annoying to the monsters.

However, after the two major factions in this world have been dealing with each other for so long, they have a thorough understanding of each other. In a balanced situation, with the help of players, although the NPCs' counterattacks against the monsters are not outstanding, the monsters' ability to occupy cities and villages is also rare.

Thus, do not underestimate the small village that is Zhou Tian's neighbor. If Zhou Tian can really capture it, the achievement will be quite rare even under the Blood Moon Overlord. In that case, given Zhou Tian's low status, it is obvious that the Blood Moon Overlord will definitely promote him.

With a decision made in his heart, Zhou Tian quickly took action at that time.

To capture an NPC village is not an easy task. Apart from the fact that the NPC villages have many soldiers, there are usually a few powerful figures stationed inside. In such a situation, if Zhou Tian acts rashly, he might not only fail to capture the NPC village but also risk losing his life.

Therefore, although he has the intention to capture the village, Zhou Tian is quite cautious. Unless a particularly good opportunity arises, Zhou Tian is unlikely to act rashly in the short term.
