?64: Chapter 64: Breaking the City Wall 64: Chapter 64: Breaking the City Wall During Zhou Tian’s inaction, there were simply too many monsters to deal with.

    Apart from formidable BOSSes like the Puppet Maker, an existence such as Zhou Tian was not yet noteworthy enough to attract the attention of the NPCs.

    But once Zhou Tian took action, those NPCs could no longer ignore him.

    A BOSS is a BOSS, after all.

    Even though Zhou Tian’s power wasn’t top-tier among the BOSSes in the beginner area, his destructive capability still surpassed that of ordinary monsters.

    Therefore, when Zhou Tian launched an attack against the city wall, the NPCs naturally had to step in due to the powerful destructive force he displayed.

    Despite the NPCs’ attacks, Zhou Tian paid them no heed.

    He single-mindedly hacked away until his HP dropped to less than half.

    Only then did he finally see the city wall’s HP reach a critically low point.

    Finally, as Zhou Tian made a full-strength swing with his axe, he shouted to the monsters behind him, “The wall has fallen, everyone charge!”

    “Boom!” As Zhou Tian’s words fell, the city wall, having had its HP emptied, collapsed.

    Witnessing the spectacle, both the monsters and NPCs cast various looks upon Zhou Tian, though not entirely understanding his actions. Sёarch* The n??el Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Regardless of how they interpreted Zhou Tian’s actions, those on the battlefield couldn’t possibly stop fighting because of him.

    After a brief pause, the monsters rushed in through the breach Zhou Tian had created.

    The NPCs on Zhou Tian’s territory hadn’t fully constructed their city wall.

    Once Zhou Tian created an opening, the defensive works of the NPC side were largely destroyed under the monsters’ assault.

    The NPCs had no choice but to fight back against the horde of monsters charging at them.

    Seeing that the monsters had begun to clash with the NPCs, Zhou Tian did not going forward.

    Instead, holding the Sacrificial Scepter, he bolstered the strength of the monster side before retreating to the back to recover from his prior injuries.

    “Well done!” hinted the Puppet Maker, who had somehow managed to sneak up behind Zhou Tian during the battle.

    He patted Zhou Tian’s shoulder, startling him, then complimented his prior actions.

    “It’s nothing, just my duty.” Albeit startled, Zhou Tian modestly replied after hearing the Puppet Maker’s words.

    “A good job done is a good job done.

    No need for all this chatter.

    You’re too indecisive, and I loathe monsters like you.” Contrary to Zhou Tian’s expectations, his modesty didn’t achieve the intended effect.

    The Puppet Maker retorted disdainfully, criticizing Zhou Tian’s prior response.

    Hearing the Puppet Maker’s words, Zhou Tian was at a loss for words.

    After pausing for a few seconds, he vented his frustration by joining the monsters in their assault on the group of NPCs.

    As Zhou Tian left, the Puppet Maker didn’t remain in place.

    Actually, with the damage of the rudimentary city wall that the NPCs built, the final battle between the two sides had arrived.

    Therefore, even if Zhou Tian hadn’t left, the Puppet Maker wouldn’t have stayed too long.

    The Puppet Maker and the other powerful BOSSes quickly engaged in combat with the NPC powerhouses in mid-air.

    Zhou Tian, however, did not participate in that sort of confrontation.

    After all, being a commander-type BOSS with some individual strength, he could influence the ordinary monsters more effectively than assisting the Puppet Maker in combat.

    Whether it’s equipment or skills, Zhou Tian could contribute significantly when commanding these monsters.

    Thanks to Zhou Tian, the monsters, who weren’t absolutely superior in strength, easily suppressed the NPCs.

    However, only a few monsters might have noticed Zhou Tian’s significant role in the war.

    After the battle began, Zhou Tian consciously or subconsciously always instructed his Beastman to attack the easier targets, leaving the more perilous locations to the other monsters.

    Zhou Tian wasn’t worried other monsters would discover anything.

    Firstly, the battle was extremely chaotic, so no one had the time or mind to scrutinize the detailed battle plan.

    Secondly, Zhou Tian mainly utilized his special ability to choose their attack positions.

    He wasn’t sure how rare his ability obtained from the Blood Moon Lord was, but from what he could see, no other BOSS in his group possessed it.

    Therefore, he wasn’t afraid that others would discover him cheating with an ability they didn’t possess.

    Consequently, as the battle escalated, hundreds of monsters and NPCs fell on the battlefield every second.

    Eventually, due to the significant casualties, the NPCs were first to respond.

    Actually, in battles like this, if the NPCs were trying to occupy the monsters’ territory, they would must rely on their city walls.

    Only with the aid of the walls could they make the monsters realize that attacking them was more cost than benefit.

    Only then could the NPCs occupy the monsters’ territory successfully.

    However, now that their city wall had fallen, continuing the battle became disadvantageous for NPCs.

    In fact, the desire to retreat emerged among the NPCs the moment Zhou Tian breached the wall.

    But Zhou Tian’s attack was so sudden that the NPCs had no time to prepare.

    When the monsters assaulted them, the NPCs were forced to fight back.

    During the battle, understanding that they couldn’t outlast the monsters in chaotic skirmishes, some NPCs had no choice but to opt for retreat due to heavy casualties.

    Thus, just as the battle turned slightly in favor of Zhou Tian and his allies, the NPCs began to retreat towards their original castle, fighting as they fell back.

    Observing the NPCs’ actions, led by the Puppet Maker, the group of BOSSes naturally wouldn’t let them retreat so easily.

    As a result, the moment the side of the NPCs began to retreat, the Puppet Maker led a group of monster BOSSes and small minions to chase and slaughter them.
