?37: Chapter 37 Betrayal 37: Chapter 37 Betrayal Zhou Tian understood what the choice of the Skeleton King originally represented.

    Therefore, after the Skeleton King left, Zhou Tian did not make any explicit actions as he was waiting for the current result.

    If the Skeleton King was indeed lucky enough to survive, then upon his retreat from the battlefield, Zhou Tian would not, and could not, risk a hard fight against the significantly increased power of the Skeleton King.

    Therefore, whatever choice Zhou Tian would make at that time would not be surprising, even if that choice was to join the Skeleton Tribe.

    However, though the Skeleton King had a decent character, his luck was not yet so extraordinary.

    So just as Zhou Tian had anticipated, after persisting for some time, relying on his current level of strength in such combat, it was indeed difficult for him to survive.

    Now that the Skeleton King was dead, knowing its outcome, Zhou Tian did not have any restraints in his heart.

    It was naturally time for him to strike.

    Ally or not, when the Skeleton King was alive, and Zhou Tian had a comparable strength with the Skeleton Tribe, Zhou Tian would naturally get along with them well. Sear?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    However, similar to Zhou Tian possibly choosing to defect if the Skeleton King’s power greatly increased, in the current situation where the power of the Skeleton Tribe was inferior to the Beastman Clan, how could Zhou Tian possibly let go of such a great opportunity?

    Thus, just as the newly appointed Skeleton King ascended to the throne, Zhou Tian didn’t hesitate upon receiving the news, he immediately took action.

    Zhou Tian’s method was still the same as before.

    After all, the structure of the Skeleton Tribe was like that, and based on their situation, though Zhou Tian’s strategy was old, it was absolutely suitable to deal with them.

    As a result, Zhou Tian took action, and immediately received miraculous results.

    Without a doubt, in the world of monsters, the way Zhou Tian operated made him an absolute villain.

    At least in the eyes of the members of the Skeleton Tribe, even the newly appointed Skeleton King saw Zhou Tian as an ally.

    Given such circumstances, these skeletons would naturally not take enough precautions against Zhou Tian.

    As a result, without any precautions taken by the skeletons, the entrance to their Skeleton Cave was once again blocked by Zhou Tian leading the Beastmen.

    “Commander, what do you mean by this?” When the skeletons saw Zhou Tian suddenly leading a large number of Beastmen into their cave, blocking the entrance, after a moment of bewilderment, they unknowingly asked Zhou Tian a rather unintelligent question.

    “Convey a message to your new king.

    I come here today to give him a choice; submit or die!” Zhou Tian said, and immediately, the ambiance drastically changed.

    Even if those skeletons confronting Zhou Tian were not very intelligent, Zhou Tian made his intentions clear.

    There’s no way they wouldn’t know his purpose for coming.

    Upon knowing Zhou Tian’s purpose, how could that group of skeletons not get angry?

    Surrendering to the strong is not something unacceptable for monsters.

    As monsters originally live in a pyramid-like social structure, the weak rely on the strong.

    If Zhou Tian’s power was indeed stronger than that of the Skeleton Tribe, their attachment to the stronger party wouldn’t be incomprehensible to the skeletons.

    However, Zhou Tian’s identity was a bit too particular, making those skeletons prefer to fight him to death rather than submit to him.

    Betrayal is disgraceful, especially in the monster world.

    If two parties are allies, they should help each other and stick together.

    However, Zhou Tian not only failed to fulfill his obligation as an ally but even led his army to invade them during their new king’s ascension.

    How could such behavior be accepted by those skeletons?

    However, no matter how much the skeletons resent Zhou Tian’s decision, he had already made up his mind.

    Thus, it would be impossible for him to change his decision for any reason.

    So, upon seeing the skeletons’ reactions, Zhou Tian didn’t wait for their responses.

    Knowing what they would say, he directly ordered an attack at that moment.

    Although some members of the Beastman Clan didn’t agree with Zhou Tian’s tactics, he was their leader.

    Therefore, regardless of whether the Beastmen could accept his methods, once he had given the command, all of the Beastmen had no choice but to follow his orders at that moment.

    As a result, upon Zhou Tian’s command, his Beastman Warriors proficiently moved to block the Skeleton Cave Entrance.

    The situation had escalated to this point, and even if the new Skull King had other ideas, he had no choice but to fight.

    At least, after sending some members to relay the information, most of the weaker skeletons led by a skeleton warrior directly charged at Zhou Tian and his forces.

    However…

    With Zhou Tian’s current strength, the Skeleton Tribe’s efforts were pointless in the face of his unanticipated assault.

    With Zhou Tian capitalizing on their weaknesses, the Skeleton Tribe was destined to face a great defeat, much like the last time.

    Back then, despite the two-level difference between the strength of the Skeleton Tribe and the Beastman Clan, Zhou Tian nearly defeated them by exploiting the Skeleton Tribe’s weakness.

    Eventually, to save his life, Zhou Tian chose to deceive the Skull King into an alliance.

    But judging from the results, excluding Zhou Tian’s final submission, his plan to defeat the Skeleton Tribe could be deemed a success.

    Now, not to mention the change in the Skull King’s position leading to a decrease in the overall strength of the Skeleton Tribe, the difference in strength between Zhou Tian’s Beastman Clan and the Skeleton Tribe was no longer as vast.

    With Zhou Tian acting upon their weaknesses and their increased strength, taking down the small Skeleton Tribe was truly effortless for him.

    Instead of sealing the entrance with his elite tribesmen, Zhou Tian kept only half of his men by his side and sent the rest to seize the territories of the Skeleton Tribe.

    With Zhou Tian’s arrangement and the current strength of the Beastman Clan, the remaining territories of the Skeleton Tribe quickly fell into the hands of the Beastmen.

    At the same time, as soon as Zhou Tian started to act, the Skeleton Tribe responded swiftly.

    No matter what, after experiencing the previous event, the skeletons knew how dangerous it would be for them if their weaknesses fell into the enemies’ hands.

    Under such circumstances, those skeletons who knew Zhou Tian well and had personally experienced a similar incident could not ignore Zhou Tian’s actions.

    Even when preparing to resist Zhou Tian, honestly speaking, the skeletons themselves didn’t have any confidence.

    However, they chose to fight to the death due to their resentment towards Zhou Tian’s ‘betrayal’ and their unwillingness to easily submit to others.

    Under such circumstances, led by the new Skull King, a group of skeletons immediately surged out from the bottom of the Skeleton Cave and quickly appeared at the entrance.
