Chapter 29

"Who said that this king dares not do it? This king just can't be sure if you have such ability. However, if you really have a way to take over that NPC village, then what's the harm in this king lending you a hand?" Stimulated by Zhou Tian's words, as if to prove his own courage, after hearing Zhou Tian's words, the Skeleton King immediately patted his chest and made a guarantee to Zhou Tian.

Seeing the Skeleton King's performance, Zhou Tian, feeling that his strength had almost fully recovered, then said, "Alright, since the Skeleton King has such courage, we are partners. To show my sincerity, I will have my orcs give up the territory near your Skeleton Cave." After saying that, Zhou Tian silently issued an order in his heart, and the orcs who had rushed to the Skeleton Cave, following Zhou Tian's command, immediately retreated.

Although if Zhou Tian were to issue another order, those orcs who had already retreated would likely quickly surround the Skeleton Cave again. However, it was clear that the Skeleton King at the time did not consider so much. Seeing that Zhou Tian actually made his orcs retreat, he interpreted Zhou Tian's current actions as a gesture of goodwill.

As a result, having already verbally agreed to Zhou Tian's actions, and now believing that Zhou Tian genuinely wanted to cooperate with him, the Skeleton King's attitude towards Zhou Tian naturally changed.

"You are a true wise man; I will follow whatever you say. Let's use our strength together to take down that NPC village!" After listening to Zhou Tian's plan, the Skeleton King waved away the skeletons surrounding Zhou Tian and then extended his right hand to Zhou Tian.

"Agreed, let's work together!"

Zhou Tian, because of a problem with his plan, ultimately used that reason to try to escape with his life from the Skeleton King. But when he finally convinced the Skeleton King to believe that he truly wanted to cooperate, Zhou Tian, at that moment, genuinely wanted to team up with the Skeleton Clan to deal with that NPC village.

Firstly, after seeing the strength of the Skeleton Clan, Zhou Tian no longer wanted to easily turn against them. Secondly, since the Skeleton King had been convinced and was now a tool in his hands, it would be a waste not to use him. Zhou Tian naturally did not mind using the Skeleton King to deal with that NPC village.

Taking down that NPC village was not an easy task for Zhou Tian. Although he had become the leader of the orcs and his strength had increased by hundreds or even thousands of times, the NPCs were much more wary of him after his previous actions. Thus, with the NPC village no longer easily exposing any weaknesses, Zhou Tian naturally faced significant difficulties in dealing with them.

Originally, Zhou Tian planned to annex several monster factions, including the Skeleton Cave, and then deal with the NPC village once he had enough strength. But he did not expect things to develop to this point, so Zhou Tian naturally had to act earlier.

How to deal with that NPC village, Zhou Tian had actually planned long ago. He had even made preparations long before. Even without the Skeleton Clan's involvement, once Zhou Tian's preparations were complete, he was confident he could take down that NPC village.

Now, with the help of the Skeleton Clan, the two sides working together, Zhou Tian's long-prepared plan was quickly ready. With Zhou Tian's command, they were about to take action.

"Your Excellency, to think of using such a method to deal with that NPC village, this king is truly impressed. After this, if Your Excellency has any other actions that require cooperation with our clan, this king will certainly do my best to assist." Seeing that the preparations were complete, thinking about the scene that would result from following Zhou Tian's plan, the Skeleton King could not help but flatter Zhou Tian, who was standing beside him. It was hard to believe that just a short while ago, Zhou Tian had just annexed nearly a third of the Skeleton Clan's territory.

Seeing the Skeleton King's performance, although Zhou Tian was very polite on the surface, he had already despised the other party in his heart.

"Such a tactic that doesn't even count as a strategy can make you so surprised, truly lacking in experience!" After muttering to himself, Zhou Tian saw that his orcs and the Skeleton King's skeletons had already completed the preparations. He then asked the Skeleton King beside him, "Since the preparations are done, do you think we should..."

"Alright! It's time for us to act. I believe when we suddenly appear before those NPCs, their expressions will be quite interesting!"

"Of course, once we kill those NPCs and take this village, according to the leader's character, our two clans will certainly receive sufficient benefits. However, that NPC village has a troublesome character. If we can't hold him back, I'm afraid our plan might..."

"Leave it to me." To Zhou Tian's relief, just as he showed a hint of hesitation in his words, the Skeleton King immediately patted his chest and guaranteed, "Don't worry, I'll deal with that NPC. Your Excellency just focus on commanding the army."

"Thank you. Yes, that NPC's strength is quite formidable. Although Your Excellency's strength is also great, you might not necessarily win against that NPC. To ensure our ultimate victory, I suggest that when you deal with that NPC, you prepare a group of about a hundred skeleton archers to accompany you. If you can't handle that NPC, just order those hundred skeleton archers to attack together. I believe no matter how strong that NPC is, it will be hard for him to escape death." As if truly concerned about the Skeleton King's safety, Zhou Tian, after agreeing to his request, actively offered suggestions.

Seeing Zhou Tian's performance, the Skeleton King was quite moved. Although Zhou Tian's actions made the Skeleton King's attitude towards him even more friendly, he was not particularly concerned about Zhou Tian's arrangements.

Although the Skeleton King knew that the NPC village was not easy to take, otherwise the previous Skeleton Kings and many other monster factions would not have all failed. However, since the Skeleton King had not seen the strength of that NPC like Zhou Tian had, he naturally had a mistaken understanding of his opponent.

In the Skeleton King's mind, although his strength had decreased due to Zhou Tian occupying part of their territory, as one of the ultimate bosses in the beginner area, even if the NPC was strong, it should be at most on par with him. Since he had the strength to fight the NPC, the Skeleton King naturally did not want to use Zhou Tian's method to deal with his opponent.
