Chapter 63

"Attack!" Without much talk, unlike wars between humans, wars between monsters and NPCs have always been direct, with no excessive communication between the two sides. And that was the case now; when the puppet maker led the other monsters to the site, he naturally didn't bother to waste words with those NPCs. With a wave of his hand, the other monsters immediately charged at the NPCs.

The NPCs, seeing the reaction of the monsters, were not surprised. They must have seen such situations many times! When the monsters charged at them, the NPCs remained quite calm and followed the orders of the officers to set up defenses.

A large number of arrows were directly shot from the NPC camp, and before the two sides had even formally engaged, a batch of monsters was already killed on the offensive path.

However, the monsters naturally could not remain passive after the NPCs had launched their attack.

Thus, as the rain of arrows from the NPC side fell into the monster camp, killing some of the monsters, it also triggered a counterattack from the monster side.

It wasn't just the NPCs who had ranged attack capabilities. Although there were few monsters with ranged attack capabilities in the monster camp, they were not nonexistent. As the NPC arrows fell, many monsters with ranged attack capabilities, like skeleton archers, launched their counterattacks based on their own attack abilities.

Thus, not long after the NPCs' attack ended, a large number of various ranged attacks immediately fell upon them.

There were arrows, boulders, and all kinds of magic. Due to the many types of monsters, their counterattack resulted in nearly a hundred different types of attacks landing on the NPC camp.

Although most of the monsters' ranged attacks were blocked by the defenses built by the NPCs, the large-scale attack still caused some casualties on the NPC side.

After the ranged attacks from both sides, a group of faster monsters quickly reached the walls built by the NPCs. Unfortunately, the monsters did not have any siege weapons, so even though they had rushed to the site, they could only attack the walls based on their own abilities, hoping to destroy the walls with their own strength. Throughout the process, the monsters never considered using other methods to destroy the walls built by the NPCs.

The NPCs, however, performed much better than the monsters. They would not miss such a good opportunity to attack. As the monsters struggled against the walls, the NPCs above them quickly threw numerous attacks at the monsters below.

A large number of monsters rushing to the walls were killed by the NPCs, but in the process, the walls were also damaged to some extent. Given the situation, it was estimated that the simple walls built by the NPCs would not last much longer.

As the battle between the monster army and the NPCs raged, the scene looked different to Zhou Tian.

Zhou Tian had never expected that the ability granted to him by the Blood Moon Sect leader could also be used on the walls. When the monsters attacked the walls, Zhou Tian could directly see the health bar of the walls. Seeing the health bar of the walls slowly deplete, Zhou Tian naturally knew that it was time to show his strength.

After all, this incident was caused by Zhou Tian. Even though he had promised various benefits, the other monsters still had some grievances against him. They only participated in this action due to the intimidation of the puppet maker.

But even participating in the action did not mean the monsters had no thoughts. To put it bluntly, if the puppet maker had not stood on Zhou Tian's side, no matter how great the benefits Zhou Tian promised, the monsters would never have mobilized their core teams to help Zhou Tian attack the NPCs.

Thus, after this battle, it was almost certain that Zhou Tian would have offended all the monsters in the beginner area. Even if the monsters did not directly attack him, once Zhou Tian was in trouble, the monster leaders would likely not hesitate to deal with him.

Therefore, Zhou Tian needed to establish his authority at this moment. He didn't need to scare the monsters, but at least he needed to make them understand that he was not an easy opponent. If they really wanted to deal with him, they would have to consider whether it was worth it.

At this moment, using his ability, Zhou Tian found the best opportunity to establish his authority.

Zhou Tian had not realized it before, but now he discovered that the most precious reward from the Blood Moon Sect leader was the special skill he was currently using. Although this ability could only be used for support, if used well, its effect was quite astonishing.

For example, now all the monsters were only thinking about breaking through the walls built by the NPCs, but they did not know the extent of the damage to the walls. Thus, Zhou Tian, using his ability to see the state of the walls, could control the timing of his actions far better than ordinary monsters.

Therefore, Zhou Tian, who had been hiding in the rear, finally decided to join the battle when he saw that the walls could not hold much longer.

When the monster leaders saw Zhou Tian personally join the battle, they all showed expressions of surprise. After all, as monster bosses, they were different from ordinary monsters. They did not participate in the battle except to be used as high-end combat forces to deal with the strong NPCs. They also wanted to avoid casualties in the siege.

Now, Zhou Tian, who could have avoided the battle, chose to join it, which was naturally difficult for the other monster leaders to understand.

Zhou Tian did not care about the leaders' thoughts. He knew that his current actions seemed rash to them, but because he was confident, Zhou Tian knew that his actions, although risky, were actually without any real danger.

Since the walls had almost no health left when Zhou Tian joined the battle, he believed that with just a little more effort, he could destroy the walls. After the walls were breached, his safety would naturally be protected by the other monsters.

As a result, Zhou Tian, hidden among a large group of attacking monsters, did not attract the attention of the NPCs. Or rather, the NPCs never took him, a not very prominent boss, seriously.

Without any NPCs targeting him specifically, Zhou Tian easily mixed into the area near the walls. Upon reaching the location, Zhou Tian found a spot on the wall with the lowest health and started cutting without a word.
