"Beast King, no matter how many reasons you have, the fact that you have annexed your own allies cannot be changed. We are giving you one month to move out of the新手区. If you still haven't left by then, don't blame us for being unfriendly."
"Despite all you've said, you also have the same thoughts as I do. If I leave, the territory I currently occupy will be divided among you. The same actions I take are considered evil, but when you do them, they are justified. If I am a villain, how much better can you be?"
Faced with Zhou Tian's sarcasm, the faces of those few bosses naturally turned sour. But before they could get angry, Zhou Tian suddenly slammed the table and said, "Scare me! You want to drive me out of the新手区. I'll tell you, I can leave only if the新手区 is destroyed. Otherwise, I will only leave this land under one condition: I have completely occupied this territory and am ready to expand outward. If you want to force me out with military power, go ahead! If you dare to do that, I will immediately open the Skull Cave and release those undead. If I can't have it, neither will you."
"You are a madman."
Although they were angry, after cursing Zhou Tian, those few bosses had to restrain their tempers.
"I will give you two options! If it's not absolutely necessary, I won't release those undead. However, it's impossible for me to give up what I have already taken. Here's a deal: If you are willing to pretend nothing happened, I can divide one-third of the territory I have occupied and give it to you. Of course, if you refuse my offer out of pride, I won't force you. You are just not confident that I won't turn on you later. In that case, let me take charge of guarding the Skull Cave. As long as you don't target me, I will guard that passage and not let any undead out. But if you take any action, then..."
Zhou Tian's demands were seen as quite excessive by some monsters, but after hearing his words, those few bosses were actually reassured.
Based on Zhou Tian's past behavior, if he were to talk to them nicely, those bosses would really fear that Zhou Tian would play tricks later. Now, although Zhou Tian's demands are somewhat excessive, it is precisely because of this that his proposals seem somewhat sincere.
The first proposal, although Zhou Tian made it, the bosses would not consider it. Apart from the issue of pride, their current situation is not suitable for expansion. With the number of monsters in their territories already too sparse, occupying a larger territory might increase the strength of their subordinates, but if the territory expands too much, even if Zhou Tian doesn't play tricks, just dealing with those NPCs and players would be enough to give them a headache.
Therefore, Zhou Tian's two suggestions are more like one choice. No matter whether those bosses are willing or not, they ultimately have no way to refuse Zhou Tian's proposal.
Refusing Zhou Tian's proposal would not benefit the bosses. Zhou Tian's strength is there, and even if they want to join forces to deal with him, they are unlikely to吞并 him based on his current strength. On the contrary, after a major battle, both sides would likely suffer heavy losses. At that time, neither the undead monsters nor the NPCs would miss such a good opportunity, and all the monsters in the新手区 would likely face destruction.
Therefore, if they don't want to be destroyed together, the war between them simply cannot happen. Thus, no matter what conditions are discussed, as Zhou Tian said, what those bosses truly seek is peace of mind.
As long as they believe Zhou Tian won't turn on them, those bosses won't want to fight a losing battle with him. Zhou Tian's proposal at that time indeed met the bosses' expectations.
Thus, under Zhou Tian's strong attitude, although they felt somewhat unwilling, those bosses ultimately agreed to Zhou Tian's suggestion after deliberation and formally reached an agreement with him.
As Zhou Tian suggested, his orc tribe would take full responsibility for guarding the Skull Cave and preventing the undead from entering. After Zhou Tian took over this task, the other monsters were not allowed to hold him accountable for his previous actions. Moreover, in the future, other monsters were not allowed to attack the orc tribe, or if Zhou Tian felt threatened, he had the right to release the undead from the Skull Cave.
As a result, after reaching the agreement, those bosses chose to leave, not staying in Zhou Tian's territory for even a minute. Clearly, the outcome of their negotiations with Zhou Tian did not satisfy them, although they achieved their main goal, they still felt a sense of injustice.
"Let you live a little longer." With the situation now in his favor, Zhou Tian only needed to make one final preparation before he could begin unifying the新手区. In that situation, Zhou Tian naturally didn't pay much attention to those bosses, who he saw as good as dead. After dealing with them, he focused on making arrangements.
Zhou Tian would not go back on his word about guarding the Skull Cave. In fact, everything he did, from his actions to his proposal, was part of his plan. When the bosses thought Zhou Tian had given in, they did not realize that when he re-entered the Skull Cave to defend, the destruction of their tribes was already in the countdown.
The handover went smoothly. Although they were wary of Zhou Tian, the usefulness of the passage in the Skull Cave had not yet been discovered by any other monsters. Thus, after Zhou Tian moved into the Skull Cave, the other monsters only thought he would be confined there and did not realize that Zhou Tian's defense would not consume any troops and that he was even using the undead to craft monster equipment.
After that, Zhou Tian spent most of his time in the Skull Cave. Every day, he did only two things: leading his orc archers to slaughter the undead and crafting the equipment he needed when the light balls formed.
As a result, under Zhou Tian's busy schedule, time passed by unnoticed.
