?65: Chapter 65: The Promise of Land Allocation 65: Chapter 65: The Promise of Land Allocation The pursuit of the monsters, naturally, cannot be ignored by those NPCs.

    However, when those NPCs dispersed to prepare for the onslaught of the puppet maker and the group of monsters, it was the overwhelming strength of the puppet maker and the rest of the BOSSes that eventually led to the deaths of the detached NPCs at the hands of the monsters, without the intended effect of slowing down the enemy advance.

    Thus, in the face of the monsters’ relentless pursuit, those NPCs had no choice but to flee.

    The NPCs stood no chance of outrunning the monsterp.

    The situation might have been different if it were in some other place or if the city walls of the NPC side had been really breached.

    But given that Zhou Tian’s captured territory was just outside the NPC city, they were not far from their city when they were breached by Zhou Tian and his group.

    As a result of their persistent pursuit, Zhou Tian and the others may have left quite a number of NPC corpses, however, the NPCs didn’t give Zhou Tian a chance to obliterate them entirely and had already reached the vicinity of their city just as Zhou Tian’s group was about to catch up with their main force.

    “Loose!” How could the NPCs dare to let Zhou Tian and his group charge into their city?

    After seeing their own army routed, the city guards, following the general’s command, aimed and released their arrows from their hands towards the pursuing monster army.

    A rain of arrows fell, and under the attack of these NPCs, a substantial portion of the pursuing monster army was instantly felled.

    “Stop!” Even though they had just defeated the NPCs boosting their morale, the puppet maker was well aware of the formidable defense capabilities of the NPC city.

    With this in mind, seeing that they were now near the NPC city, the puppet maker halted the other monsters who wanted to continue the assault just as the NPCs launched their counterattack.

    “We’ve accomplished our goal.

    Let’s call it a day!” Turning around, the puppet maker directly addressed Zhou Tian with her own opinion.

    The other BOSSes who heard the puppet maker’s words had various degrees of reluctance, after all, they had now routed the main force of the NPCs, and they were somewhat unwilling to withdraw at this juncture.

    However, the strength of the puppet maker was overwhelming, to the extent that even if all the BOSSes from the beginner area banded together, they couldn’t possibly be her opponents.

    In addition to the need to rely on the power of the Puppet House to fight against the NPCs, despite disagreeing with the puppet maker’s suggestion, the other BOSSes did not dare to openly oppose her.

    So, as the puppet maker finished speaking to Zhou Tian, the other BOSSes secretly tried to catch Zhou Tian’s eye.

    Zhou Tian knew what those BOSSes wanted.

    They wanted him to persuade the puppet maker to change her mind.

    But, considering the puppet maker’s character, Zhou Tian sighed and eventually made up his mind. Sёarch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    “Alright!

    I’ll withdraw my troops now!” Could Zhou Tian convince the puppet maker?

    Perhaps in the eyes of the other monsters, he was capable of doing so.

    However, Zhou Tian was very clear that the puppet maker was not someone to be swayed so easily by others’ advice, she would not easily change her decisions.

    If Zhou Tian dared to persuade her at this moment, chances are, the puppet maker might abandon him right in the midst of those NPCs.

    Regardless of whether Zhou Tian was right, the puppet maker seemed satisfied with his response.

    With that, after hearing Zhou Tian’s words, she dismissed them.

    Waving her hand, she led her group of puppets from the Puppet House to fly away.

    Watching the puppet maker and her puppets leave like that, the other BOSSes all shot Zhou Tian dissatisfied glances.

    Clearly, because of Zhou Tian’s tactlessness, they were feeling discontent.

    If it weren’t for Zhou Tian’s decent performance beforehand and the watchful eyes of a group of NPCs, Zhou Tian’s departure today would be anything but easy.

    Of course, even if it wasn’t convenient for them to take action, the NPCs still had ways of handling Zhou Tian.

    After all, in order to mobilize their forces, Zhou Tian had made many promises.

    Now that Zhou Tian’s crisis had abated, those BOSSes were naturally not about to forgo the benefits Zhou Tian had promised them.

    “Alright, now that those NPCs have retreated, Beastman General, you should fulfill the promises you made.”

    “Exactly!

    You promised us territorial rights, please hand them over promptly.”

    “…”

    Upon hearing the BOSSes’ words, Zhou Tian, though prepared, still showed displeasure on his face.

    Indeed, Zhou Tian made the promise of allocating territory in order to convince those monster leaders to help.

    Although the puppet maker had given her consent, the other monsters, even if they gave face to the puppet maker, would certainly not exert their effort like this, given that there was no possibility of taking down the NPC city as part of their current operation.

    They wouldn’t have much to gain even if they eventually defeated the NPCs.

    And without any gains, the monsters would naturally not put in all their effort.

    Zhou Tian, on the other hand, would face a fatal crisis if he could not defeat these NPCs.

    Thus, in order to vanquish the NPCs, there was nothing Zhou Tian wouldn’t do.

    Consequently, under such circumstances, Zhou Tian made a clear promise to those BOSSes.

    As long as they helped defeat these NPCs, he would allocate part of the Beastman territory to them.

    Although the territory Zhou Tian promised was not large, due to differences in the location compared to the land outside the NPC city, the benefits Zhou Tian promised were fairly staggering.

    It was precisely because Zhou Tian promised substantial benefits that the BOSSes would send their most elite mobs to the battlefield after agreeing to Zhou Tian’s request.

    And now that the battle was over, the BOSSes who had seen the matter to its end naturally wanted Zhou Tian to fulfill his promise.

    And would Zhou Tian say ‘no’?

    Today, almost all the monster leaders in the rookie area, except for the puppet maker, were covered by Zhou Tian’s promises.

    If Zhou Tian reneged on his promise, these BOSSes would definitely band together to take these territories from Zhou Tian by force.

    Therefore, even if unwilling, Zhou Tian had to make good on his promises.

    However, while each of the territories Zhou Tian promised was not much, when added up, they made up almost ninety percent of his current territories.

    Should Zhou Tian do this, the Beastman clan would basically be finished.

    Hence, while Zhou Tian wouldn’t break his promise, he wouldn’t casually divide his territories among those BOSSes, either.

    Showing no emotion on his face, Zhou Tian simply replied, “I will naturally keep my promises.

    You guys go back first.

    Once I’ve arranged for my Beastmen to evacuate, I’ll allocate those territories to you.”

    Regarding Zhou Tian’s words, those BOSSes had no doubts.

    Probably in their eyes, Zhou Tian wouldn’t dare renege now!

    Given the enormous amount of BOSSes who had promises from Zhou Tian this time, if Zhou Tian dared go back on his word, what awaited him would certainly not be a pleasant fate.

    As a result, after hearing Zhou Tian’s words, those BOSSes dispersed in small groups.

    However, just as most of the BOSSes were leaving, Zhou Tian suddenly called to one of them.

    He said, “The Carnivorous Flower General, please stay for a moment.

    I have something to discuss with you.”

    Upon hearing Zhou Tian’s words, one of the BOSSes hesitated momentarily.

    Initially, he didn’t want to have anything to do with Zhou Tian, but perhaps considering that Zhou Tian would have to deliver a great amount of territory to them later, the Carnivorous Flower General ended up stopping, gave a nod to the other BOSSes and stayed behind.
