?58: Chapter 58: Forced to Join the War 58: Chapter 58: Forced to Join the War With a flick of her fingers, the puppet maker made no other moves, while several NPCs suspended in mid-air drew their weapons and charged at their superior while shouting and screaming.

    “Dammit!” Seeing the puppeteer’s movements, the NPC officers could only brace themselves to defend against the attacks from their subordinates, ultimately managing to cut off the puppet strings attached to them after a period of struggle.

    Despite the puppeteer standing alone, her terrifying abilities managed to stall an entire NPC army.

    As a result, the other puppets under her control quickly gathered around her while the NPCs dared not act rashly. S~ea??h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    “Mother Superior!” Upon reaching the puppeteer, the puppet shouted her name and took a protective stance beside her.

    Glancing at those ‘children’ next to her, a trace of worry flashed across the puppeteer’s eyes.

    Ultimately, nobody knew what she was thinking.

    It was just that when most of the puppets had gathered around her, she suddenly looked up and shouted, “I know you’re nearby.

    I can pretend I don’t know what you’re up to, but you have to help me repel these NPCs.

    Otherwise, as long as I don’t die today, I will definitely seek revenge on you in the future.”

    The other puppets were mostly confused at the puppeteer’s words.

    But Zhou Tian understood after hearing them that his actions had clearly been seen through by the puppeteer.

    The reason why she yelled such words was undoubtedly to warn Zhou Tian.

    Although Zhou Tian knew the puppeteer was formidable, he did not expect her to be this powerful.

    Now, after witnessing the puppeteer’s abilities, he already regretted his previous decisions.

    To put it bluntly, Zhou Tian still had some strength at the moment, but he had no chance of resisting against the puppeteer’s strength and abilities.

    If the puppeteer really wanted to deal with him, he doubted he would have any chance of survival.

    Now that the puppeteer had made such a statement, although Zhou Tian didn’t completely trust her, given the puppeteer’s strength and no way to escape, he had no choice but to believe her.

    Thus, as soon as the puppeteer’s words died away, Zhou Tian immediately stepped out of the shadows.

    Accompanying him was a group of beastmen under his command who, although not particularly strong, promptly joined the action.

    Zhou Tian’s original plan was to reap the benefits after the Puppet House and NPC’s main force had a fierce fight.

    However, due to the puppeteer’s formidable strength, he had no choice but to abandon his original plan.

    And now, once Zhou Tian officially stepped onto the stage, he could no longer keep himself out of it.

    “Attack!” The NPCs didn’t care about any of this, they didn’t understand the full story, but they knew Zhou Tian was their enemy.

    The puppeteer’s formidable power and terrifying abilities may have instilled fear in the NPCs, but Zhou Tian didn’t impose such threat.

    Thus, the NPCs, who were somewhat apprehensive dealing with the puppeteer, instantly regained their courage when facing Zhou Tian.

    Seeing the NPCs rushing towards him with a crazy look on their faces, Zhou Tian couldn’t help but let out a sigh.

    At this moment, those NPCs were tougher to deal with then usual, especially after they had been scared by the puppeteer.

    Fear often led to madness, facing the puppeteer, the NPCs had no courage to fight back, but now with Zhou Tian stepping in, they had found a target to vent their anger.

    Facing these crazed NPCs, one misstep could endanger Zhou Tian’s life.

    “This is definitely revenge, using us to attract enemy fire?” After a low mumble, Zhou Tian, although fully aware of the puppeteer’s intentions, had no choice but to engage in combat.

    “Form defensive formations!” Faced with a group of mad NPCs, Zhou Tian didn’t believe he could defeat them.

    At this point, all he wanted to do was to hold out a bit longer under the NPCs’ attacks.

    Given that scenario, Zhou Tian naturally preferred defense over offense!

    “Ugh!”

    “Charge!”

    “Boom!”

    “…”

    Although Zhou Tian intended to take a defensive stance, the power of NPCs held the absolute advantage.

    Thus, even though Zhou Tian had made some preparations, the casualties incurred after the initial clash far exceeded his expectations.

    In less than five minutes of battling the NPCs, half of Zhou Tian’s not-so-large team were killed.

    The other half, although still hanging on, looked like they wouldn’t last long either.

    Fortunately, this time with the Puppet House at his side, Zhou Tian’s situation, though not good, was not completely hopeless.

    Since the puppeteer has already guessed that these NPCs were lured in by Zhou Tian, she naturally despised him.

    But even though she hated Zhou Tian, when he was in danger, she could not just stand by and watch.

    It’s not that the puppeteer is magnanimous, in fact, if she could, she would love to watch Zhou Tian die at the hands of the NPCs.

    But even if the puppeteer did nothing, she was still the biggest threat in the eyes of the NPCs.

    Under such circumstances, while the NPC soldiers were engaged with Zhou Tian, their strongest fighters never stopped watching the puppeteer.

    Given the current situation, the outcome of the battle between Zhou Tian’s monsters and the NPCs was entirely dependent on the puppeteer and the strongest NPCs.

    If the puppeteer wins, the NPCs will naturally be doomed.

    But if the NPCs win, the puppeteer will undoubtedly die and the monsters, including Zhou Tian, will likely be facing life and death situations.

    However, it seemed like the puppeteer didn’t care about the importance of her battle.

    After Zhou Tian managed to distract some of the NPCs, she summon her puppets to her side with a look of concern.
