Chapter 87

"Use those arrows!" In order to maximize the elimination of those players, Zhou Tian then revealed another trump card.

Orc Arrows (Automatic回收, 3 attacks per day, 300% increased attack power, with tracking effect.)

Back then, after Zhou Tian found a way to create monster equipment in the Skeleton Cave, he also crafted a considerable amount of monster equipment inside. Among them, because Zhou Tian was always failing in his attempts to create top-tier equipment, the arrows of the orc archers, which were the easiest to come into contact with the light spheres, directly took up a large portion of the monster equipment he made.

After obtaining those orc arrows, Zhou Tian, who did not know how to use a bow, handed them all over to the orc archer by his side. Now, not only did Zhou Tian have the orc archer attack those players, but he also took out that pile of orc arrows. In this situation, regardless of whether those players noticed Zhou Tian's arrangements, they would not end up with a good outcome.

"Whoosh~"

Three arrows at once, upon receiving Zhou Tian's order, the orc archer did not show any mercy to those players. The three arrows directly landed on a high-level player.

"What's going on? Where did the attack come from?" Seeing his health drop from nine-tenths to one-tenth in an instant, the player was naturally startled.

However, he did not even have the chance to find out the reason for the health loss, because after those three attacks, the orc archer immediately nocked another orc arrow and shot it at him.

"Ahh~" With a scream, the high-level player's health was depleted instantly, and he fell to the ground dead.

The death of that player did not attract the attention of the others. After all, there were too many players in battle at the time, and each player was struggling to deal with the orc guards, leaving no time to pay attention to the situation of their comrades.

As a result, using the same method, the orc archer then targeted other high-level players. Although the number of attacks used varied, with the orc archer's own strength and the help of the orc arrows, all the players targeted by the orc archer without exception fell to his arrows.

Only after the orc archer had killed all the high-level players in the group did it stop its actions under Zhou Tian's command.

Without those high-level players, how could the remaining players possibly cope with Zhou Tian's side? Naturally, under the attacks of Zhou Tian's orc guards, the group of players who had planned to ambush Zhou Tian from behind ultimately died at the hands of the orcs.

After ending that battle, Zhou Tian gritted his teeth and issued new orders.

With a command from Zhou Tian, the orc archers all drew their bows and shot all the arrows in their hands toward the newbie area, then began to retreat in an orderly manner.

Without arrows, the orc archers were even less effective than orc warriors, and Zhou Tian placed great importance on the ranged attacks of the orc archers. Therefore, before they could regain their combat effectiveness, Zhou Tian naturally would not let those orc archers stay.

The previous attacks of the orc archers had achieved considerable results.

The difficult aspect of dealing with players was their ability to continuously respawn. Unless the players themselves decided to stop playing, no matter how many times you killed them, they could keep respawning as long as they were online.

However, this troublesome ability of the players was not without its weaknesses. At least in the current situation, Zhou Tian used the flaw in their respawning to kill more players.

Although the time required for players to respawn was the same, the time of their deaths could not be the same. Additionally, with the need to replenish potions and other matters, the actions of the players naturally became difficult to coordinate when there were many of them.

Therefore, at the beginning, the players could still act in unison. However, if some members died, even though the dead players could rejoin the battle after respawning, the group of respawned players would essentially become a scattered force.

Because the players' actions could not be unified, some of the respawned players heard the news and tried to circle around to attack Zhou Tian from behind, while others directly left the city to join the battle.

Due to the overly scattered actions of the players, although their actions posed some threat to Zhou Tian's orcs, the lack of coordination and the inability to form a united force meant that the threat was significantly reduced when facing Zhou Tian's orc army.

As a result, Zhou Tian only needed to dispatch his orc warriors to block the players attempting to break through. After allowing the orc archers to attack freely, he sent a large number of players back to the respawn point. Although after those actions, Zhou Tian had no more trump cards, the consecutive victories had largely achieved his goal for this operation.

One could say that the subsequent battles were no longer necessary for Zhou Tian. If the battles continued, Zhou Tian was not afraid of the players. He was confident that even if he could not win, he would not suffer a loss. However, if the battles stopped, Zhou Tian would not feel regretful, as he had already accomplished his original goal. After returning this time, the Blood Moon Overlord would replenish the forces he had lost.

Now, the only thing Zhou Tian needed to consider was how to retreat in a way that would minimize the losses on his side.

Even if Zhou Tian wanted to retreat at this moment, he estimated that the players would not agree. After all, in the previous battles, Zhou Tian had killed many players. Whether for revenge or because they saw the high drop rate of his group of monsters, the players would not let go easily.

Therefore, although Zhou Tian had already developed a desire to leave, he did not show it during the battles with the players.

"Hold off the players' attacks and slowly retreat!" Although he did not want the players to see his intentions, in order to ensure the smooth execution of his subsequent actions, Zhou Tian ultimately had to take the risk and make the decision to retreat.

Fortunately, although Zhou Tian had revealed his intentions, the players at the time clearly did not understand the purpose of his actions.

"These monsters are done for, let's push harder, and we will win soon." Without even a chance to see Zhou Tian, the boss, the players, due to the monsters' retreat, actually believed they were about to win. As a result, their morale was greatly boosted, and they directly chased after the retreating orcs.

It must be said that due to Zhou Tian's decision, the retreat of the orcs and the boost in player morale undoubtedly increased the casualties on Zhou Tian's side. Before the formal retreat, the orc warriors had already suffered at least a thousand deaths, and even some of the orc guards who had joined the battle began to suffer casualties.
