?32: Chapter 32: Going to Death 32: Chapter 32: Going to Death As the Skeleton King eagerly awaited for Zhou Tian to come and rescue him, the same Zhou Tian he had high hopes for was calmly leading the beastmen into the tunnel.

    “No rush, no rush, if we go too fast, how will we achieve our goal?” While shaking his head as he stepped forward, Zhou Tian intentionally or inadvertently directed his beastmen to block the path.

    Behind them were almost all of the Skeleton Tribe’s archers.

    While the Skeleton King and other warriors of the Skeleton Tribe were engaged in brutal combat with the NPCs, Zhou Tian was leading his beastmen in the tunnel to delay the Skeleton Archers.

    If Zhou Tian were not afraid that the Skeleton King would discover his intent and launch a counter-attack before dying, Zhou Tian might not have just slowed the archers down but rather trapped them in the tunnel.

    Ultimately, under the influence of Zhou Tian’s minor actions, the team that could have provided timely aid to the Skeleton King was delayed repeatedly.

    By the time they arrived, the Skeleton King was already on the verge of defeat.

    “This guy is still not dead, isn’t that old thing useless!” Zhou Tian’s plan was to let the Skeleton King die at the hands of the NPCs.

    If he succeeded, with the authority granted to him in the alliance with the Skeleton King, Zhou Tian could command the Skeleton tribe to fight the NPCs to their deaths.

    Lastly, when both parties were weakened, Zhou Tian would strike.

    By doing so, Zhou Tian could not only achieve his goal of annexing the Skeleton Tribe but also take all the credit for conquering the NPC village.

    However, Zhou Tian underestimated the strength of the Skeleton King.

    Despite his best efforts to delay the battle, the powerful NPCs were still unable to kill the Skeleton King.

    As such, Zhou Tian’s original plan was completely disrupted.

    “To save or not to save?” After a moment of hesitation, Zhou Tian made his decision. Sёarch* The N?vel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    “Save!” Almost instantly, Zhou Tian made up his mind.

    Given the current situation and the character of the Skeleton King, if Zhou Tian saved him, he would still gain some benefits even if his original plan failed.

    On the contrary, if Zhou Tian did not save the Skeleton King, although the Skeleton King would inevitably die, Zhou Tian would likewise not end up in a good situation.

    Having made up his mind, Zhou Tian’s actions were without any hesitation.

    No sooner had he decided, he immediately gave the command to attack to the Skeleton Archers behind him.

    “Your king is on the verge of falling to that NPC.

    For his safety, all archers aim at the NPC and attack!” Although the Skeleton Archers were not beastmen, Zhou Tian could still control them to some extent due to his BOSS authority.

    As a result, at Zhou Tian’s command, numerous Skeleton Archers fired their bone arrows at the NPC.

    The sight of hundreds of bone arrows flying towards the opponent was indeed astonishing.

    Although it wasn’t a scene from a movie where a heart was pierced by a thousand arrows, it was enough to make any observer shiver in fear.

    Although the NPC was powerful, as Zhou Tian had figured, it couldn’t ignore the attack of the Skeleton Archers.

    Even if each Skeleton Archer could only inflict a damage of one HP, a volley from a group of them could cause several hundred damage points to the NPC.

    Zhou Tian did not yet have the ability to understand the computation of HP values between monsters and NPCs.

    However, based on his previous gaming experience, the HP of players below level ten was generally less than one hundred.

    Thus, by estimating from a player’s HP, Zhou Tian was confident that the HP of the NPC could not exceed a thousand.

    Given Zhou Tian’s strategy, the team of Skeleton Archers undoubtedly posed a threat to the powerful NPC.

    In fact, with Zhou Tian’s order, those skeleton archers shooting together caused considerable damage to the NPC with just the first wave of attack.

    Zhou Tian and the skeleton archers couldn’t hide from anyone, but based on the usual behavior of the monsters, the NPC did not expect that Zhou Tian would use the skeleton archers to conduct a sweeping long-range attack.

    Even if the NPC were strong, there was no chance of dodging such a sudden onslaught.

    Thus, under the attack of the skeleton archers led by Zhou Tian, the NPC’s HP was depleted by more than half in an instant.

    If it weren’t for the fact that his HP was much higher than ordinary NPCs due to his formidable strength, with the damage caused by this attack, an average NPC would have been killed already.

    However, even if the NPC managed to survive for the time being, if he didn’t do something, it was believed that, with another order from Zhou Tian, the second wave of attack would be enough to kill him.

    Clearly sensing the threat, the NPC didn’t dare to stand his ground and charged towards Zhou Tian and his team almost as soon as he was hit with the bone arrows.

    With the NPC’s strength, if he had chosen to retreat at that time, the likelihood of Zhou Tian and his team retaining him would be slim.

    Once the distance between them widened, even though the skeleton archers’ attack range was considerable, it would not pose a significant threat to him.

    However, clearly, the NPC chose not to abandon his duties and opted for a risky confrontation despite the safe and simple option to retreat.

    Although Zhou Tian would not ordinarily take the center stage, only he could roughly command the many skeleton archers besides the Skeleton King.

    Currently, the NPC had completely suppressed the Skeleton King.

    Under such circumstances, if Zhou Tian wanted to utilize the power of the skeleton archers, naturally, he had to step forward personally.

    Even under such circumstances, even if the NPC did not know all the incidents their village faced were attributed to Zhou Tian, he inferred that those skeleton archers who had become threats were under Zhou Tian’s command.

    The tactic of capturing the ringleader before the thieves, in the NPC’s view, now required him to bring down Zhou Tian if he didn’t want to retreat.

    This was the only way to fundamentally restrict the actions of the skeleton archers and seek a glimmer of hope for their village.

    It must be said that the NPC leader had a precise understanding of the problem.

    The two highest leaders of the races posing a threat to the village were Zhou Tian and the Skeleton King.

    As long as these two big bosses were killed, the beastmen and skeletons would naturally disperse.

    Although they would pay a heavy price, driving the beastmen and skeletons out of the village was not impossible for the NPCs based on their advantage.

    Although the Skeleton King had a ruling authority, he could not lead the monsters to victory due to his limited abilities.

    Moreover, in the previous battle, the Skeleton King had narrowly escaped death and was now in a near-death state.

    In such a situation, as long as Zhou Tian was subdued, the crisis facing the NPC village could be lifted.

    However, even though the NPC’s plan was sound, capturing Zhou Tian wasn’t an easy task.
