?59: Chapter 59: NPC Soldiers Withdraw 59: Chapter 59: NPC Soldiers Withdraw “Good children, don’t be afraid, mommy is here!” As if she truly considered those puppets her own children, the puppet maker comforted them for a while.

    Then, she lifted her head, staring fiercely at the powerful NPCs.

    “Ah!” Nobody saw how she launched her attack.

    After she instructed the puppets next to her to clear a path, she raised her right finger.

    Suddenly, a steady stream of fresh blood sprayed from an NPC’s forehead.

    Before they know it, a small hole had appeared on the NPC’s forehead.

    “Damn it!” Seeing their companion fall at the hands of the puppet maker, the remaining NPCs were outraged and charged directly at her.

    “Such a nuisance.” She let out a sigh.

    As the NPCs rushed toward her, she flicked her fingers.

    Ten puppets immediately sprang from the crowd and took their place by her side.

    A chest of a gold puppet opened, then a flurry of flying needles shot out, striking the approaching NPCs.

    Although they tried to defend, the weaker ones were inevitably hit.

    After paying the cost of several injured members, the NPCs finally managed to reach the puppet maker.

    However, as an NPC swordsman swung his sword at the puppet maker, another gold puppet appeared, blocking the swordsman’s attack with its own arms.

    Another NPC mage was ready to fire a magic spell, but unexpectedly, after completing all the preparations, the magic spell intended for the puppet maker was directed towards his own companions.

    “How could this be?

    I clearly have a magic shield!”

    With a sneer, the puppet maker was completely indifferent to the NPCs’ reactions.

    Using her power and control over the gold puppets, she manipulated the NPCs to engage in mutual slaughter.

    Though the strength of the NPCs made it difficult to kill them, judging from the current situation, the puppet maker undoubtedly had the upper hand.

    Due to the formidable performance of the puppet maker, every NPC present was affected.

    Consequently, the pressure on Zhou Tian was significantly reduced.

    “Tsk!” Although the current situation was advantageous for Zhou Tian, he felt annoyed seeing the puppet maker’s domineering performance.

    After repelling the NPCs he was fighting, Zhou Tian began to consider how to counterstrike.

    Looking at the current situation, Zhou Tian knew that if things continued this way, it was inevitable that the puppet maker would win.

    If she emerged victorious, the NPCs would be defeated, providing them with opportunities to gain substantial merits.

    Under these circumstances, Zhou Tian naturally wanted to prepare.

    However, Zhou Tian had clearly underestimated the NPCs.

    Not only Zhou Tian, but the NPCs had also noticed the current situation.

    Their earlier ambush on the Puppet House seemed easy only because the puppets were not prepared.

    Now, not only was the puppet maker fighting back, but the ordinary puppets had also joined the battle.

    Under these circumstances, the Puppet House’s strength was in full display, putting the NPCs at a disadvantage.

    The longer the battle dragged on, the worse it got for the NPCs.

    The NPC powerhouses are level-headed people.

    Although being defeated by the monster was a disgrace, retreating at this time was better than being annihilated by the puppet maker.

    Just when Zhou Tian was planning to take advantage of the situation, the NPC powerhouses did not give him the opportunity.

    Realizing that the situation was bad, they ordered the other NPCs to retreat.

    The ordinary NPCs could not be accused of doing anything wrong, but when facing the puppet maker, they certainly lacked the courage to fight.

    However, due to their position and commands, they had been able to hold on till now.

    Upon hearing the order to retreat, these NPCs hurriedly began to withdraw.

    “Attack!” Zhou Tian couldn’t help but issue the command to attack once he saw the NPCs retreating before the ideal time.

    Even though the NPCs were not routed, they were evidently out of the fighting spirit.

    Given this situation, even if they were attacked, it was doubtful whether they would retaliate.

    Zhou Tian welcomed this golden opportunity to earn some merits.

    Upon Zhou Tian’s command, his beastmen started charging towards the retreating NPCs while roaring.

    “Damn it!” Seeing Zhou Tian’s response, the NPCs were filled with fury.

    However, they had to divide some of their members to hold back Zhou Tian’s team.

    With the NPCs’ arrangement, Zhou Tian’s advance was indeed halted for the moment.

    If nothing unexpected happened, he wouldn’t find the time to deal with them for a considerable period.

    By the time his battle ends, most of the NPC forces would have already retreated!

    However, Zhou Tian hadn’t intended to hold back all the NPCs.

    When he saw the NPCs retreat prematurely, he anticipated this outcome.

    Therefore, he didn’t plan on capturing the main NPC forces.

    Seeing the main NPC forces retreating, Zhou Tian paid no attention and wholly focused on dealing with the remaining NPCs, who were left behind as sacrificial pawns.

    As a result, under Zhou Tian’s full strength, even though the cluster of NPCs had resolved to fight to the death, their determination didn’t make much difference in the face of sheer power.

    After some effort, the remaining NPCs one by one fell under the weapons of Zhou Tian’s beastmen. sea??h thё N?vel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
