?30: Chapter 30 Tunnel Assault 30: Chapter 30 Tunnel Assault The character determines his style of action.
If it were Zhou Tian in the position of the Skeleton King, with a hassle-free method to defeat his enemies, Zhou Tian would definitely not think about doing it himself.
Contrary to Zhou Tian, the Skeleton King’s character determined that it scorned such tactics.
Thus, despite Zhou Tian’s repeated persuasions, the Skeleton King refused his arrangement. S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
At last, unable to bear Zhou Tian’s nagging, the Skeleton King helplessly waved his hand, speaking to Zhou Tian: “If you insist, then you shall form the Archery Team.
But when dealing with that NPC, I do not wish to employ such methods unless my life is in danger, and I ask you not interfere with my battles.”
“Okay, I promise.” Extending his right hand, Zhou Tian made this vow right in front of the Skeleton King.
With Zhou Tian’s guarantee, the Skeleton King satisfactorily drilled into the tunnel.
Zhou Tian had numerous methods to deal with the NPC village, but due to the limited intelligence of his Beastman subordinates, even if Zhou Tian could think of a method, he couldn’t guarantee they wouldn’t mess it up.
Thus, compared to using any form of strategy on the NPC village, Zhou Tian would instead prefer a simpler approach.
In Zhou Tian’s memory, many games use the existence of tunnels.
Even though these tunnels are shortcuts for players to level up, considering the situation, Zhou Tian only saw the viability of tunnel warfare and never considered its potential side effects.
As a result, after long harboring such thoughts, Zhou Tian had his Beastmen start to dig.
However, it was only after Zhou Tian and the Skeleton King joined forces that they managed to finish the tunnel after a few hard-working days.
Now, with the tunnel completed and the Skeleton King taking on the burden Zhou Tian had assigned him, the long-planned operation was naturally set in motion.
Despite Zhou Tian and the Skeleton King having a dispute, it didn’t affect the cooperation between their races.
After all, the previous battle was only limited to a small area near the entrance of the Skeleton Cave.
Aside from Zhou Tian’s Beastman warriors suffering heavy losses, their overall strength was not greatly affected.
Thus, when the two races joint forces this time, they drew out tens of thousands-strong monster army.
Consequently, upon Zhou Tian’s command, the monster army led by the Skeleton King slowly ventured into the tunnel towards the NPC village.
Meanwhile, the NPC village, which had clashed with Zhou Tian multiple times, was completely oblivious to the invasion unfolding.
Although they had suffered losses at Zhou Tian’s hand due to their preconceived notions about monsters, such ingrained perceptions are not easily changed.
Despite suffering numerous setbacks, the NPCs remained surprisingly careless when keeping guard against Zhou Tian.
At the very least, while Zhou Tian commanded his Beastmen to dig a tunnel not far from their village, the NPCs didn’t notice their actions.
Even when the tunnel was completed and the Skeleton King led a sizable group of monsters quietly into their village, the NPCs remained none the wiser.
As a result, while the NPCs were living their peaceful lives, with a handful of monsters already in position and their presence impossible to hide any longer, a command from the Skeleton King sent a hoard of monsters rushing out to attack the unsuspecting NPCs.
“Kill!
Don’t leave anyone alive.” Although the Skeleton King’s character would seem honourable and noble from some angles, no matter how honourable the Skeleton King was, it didn’t change the fact that he was a monster.
When launching an attack, the Skeleton King showed no mercy, crushing any notion of being kind-hearted.
You could even say that the Skeleton King was more like a BOSS monster.
Because NPCs closely resembled humans, Zhou Tian was slightly influenced in dealing with them.
If not for the constant reminder that the NPCs were merely data, Zhou Tian might not have been able to attack them.
Contrarily, the Skeleton King was different.
Not only did he order his skeleton subordinates and Beastmen to mercilessly attack the NPCs, but he also played the role of a butcher himself.
The Skeleton King didn’t use his weapon while fighting Zhou Tian but knowing there was a strong NPC in the village, he brought it along despite his outward confidence.
For the sake of carrying out his plan smoothly, he had opted to bring his seldomly used weapon.
Zhou Tian’s weapon, the Sacrificial Scepter is different from that of the Skeleton King.
Zhou Tian’s scepter might be potent but overall it’s a commander’s weapon, and its amazing powers can’t enhance Zhou Tian’s combat power.
The Skeleton King’s weapon, however, was different – due to his combat style, it was a pure close-range weapon.
Bone Scythe (Increases attack power by 300%, reduces speed by 20%, kills the enemy and recovers 1% of the attack damage.)
Unaware of Zhou Tian’s thoughts, the Skeleton King didn’t have much guard against him.
Thus, under Zhou Tian’s guidance, he disclosed his hidden trump card to Zhou Tian.
After Zhou Tian learned about the ability of the Bone Scythe, he was beside himself with envy.
Even though both were BOSS weapons, it wasn’t to say that Zhou Tian’s Sacrificial Scepter was weak compared to the Bone Scythe, but there’s no denying that despite the Sacrificial Scepter’s commanding ability, in terms of value, it was lagging behind the Bone Scythe.
After all, mass tactics had little effect on powerful BOSSes, especially considering the Bone Scythe’s blood-sucking ability, which remained as a checkmate for the Sacrificial Scepter’s powers.
The weapon Zhou Tian coveted had now exhibited amazing lethality while dealing with the NPCs.
