Mighty Lord

29: Chapter 29 Cooperation 29: Chapter 29 Cooperation “Who said I wouldn’t dare to act?

I just couldn’t be certain of your ability.

However, if you truly have the means to take down that NPC Village, this king would have no objections to lending you a hand.” Stirred by Zhou Tian’s provocative words, as though to prove his courage, the Skeleton King patted his chest, assuring Zhou Tian immediately after hearing his words.

Observing the Skeleton King’s reaction, Zhou Tian, feeling his strength was almost fully restored, then said: “Very well, since the Skeleton King is so courageous, consider us partners.

To show my sincerity, I will command my Beastmen to vacate the territory around your Skeleton Cave.” Completing his words, Zhou Tian silently issued an order.

The Beastmen, who had hurried to the Skeleton Cave, promptly retreated upon receiving this instruction.

Although Zhou Tian could quickly surround the Skeleton Cave again with a single command, the Skeleton King didn’t seem concerned with this.

It interpreted Zhou Tian’s instant retreat of his troops as an act of goodwill.

As a result, having verbally agreed to Zhou Tian’s proposal and now believing Zhou Tian sincerely wanted to cooperate, the Skeleton King’s attitude toward Zhou Tian naturally changed.

“You are a true intellectual.

I will follow your lead.

Together, we will take down that NPC Village!” Listening to Zhou Tian’s plan, the Skeleton King waved his hand to dismiss the Skeletons surrounding Zhou Tian and extended his right hand towards him.

“A pleasure to cooperate!”
Zhou Tian had adopted this tactic to escape from the Skeleton King due to a flaw in his original plan – it was a desperate bid for survival.

But having convinced the Skeleton King of his sincerity, Zhou Tian’s interest in the potential alliance against the NPC Village truly piqued.

Firstly, after witnessing the strength of the Skeleton Tribe, he was not keen on falling out with them.

Secondly, having persuaded the Skeleton King to be his pawn, he saw no reason not to use it against the NPC Village.

Conquering the NPC Village was no easy task for Zhou Tian.

Despite being a Beastman leader and having strength that had amplified a hundredfold, the NPC’s alertness towards him had also increased due to his previous actions.

Consequently, overcoming them had become significantly more challenging, especially since the NPC Village no longer exposed its weaknesses readily.

Originally, Zhou Tian planned to absorb several monster branches, including the Skeleton Cave, and once he had attained sufficient strength, he would then deal with the NPC Village.

However, the situation had unexpectedly developed into its current state, forcing Zhou Tian to act ahead of time.

Regarding the plan to deal with the NPC Village, Zhou Tian had devised a strategy long ago, and prepared for it well in advance.

Even without the Skeleton Tribe’s help, he was confident of conquering the NPC Village once his preparations were complete.

Now, with the aid of the Skeleton Tribe, they swiftly completed the preparatory work for his long-planned operation.

At Zhou Tian’s command, they were ready to execute the plan.

“The fact that you, noble leader, have thought of such a method to deal with the NPC Village, truly impresses me.

If you need my tribe’s assistance for any further operations, I will do my best to cooperate.” Seeing the preparatory work being completed and envisioning the situation that would result from Zhou Tian’s plan, the Skeleton King couldn’t help but compliment Zhou Tian.

It’s hard to believe that not so long ago, Zhou Tian had just occupied a third of their territory.

Seeing the Skeleton King’s reaction, Zhou Tian politely kept a straight face, but inwardly, he was already looking down on kings like him.

“Excited about a simple tactic like this?

You truly lack experience!” Silently grumbling, Zhou Tian saw that the Beastman and Skeleton forces had completed their tasks and asked the Skeleton King, “Since the preparations are now complete, shall we…”
“All right!

It’s time for us to take action.

Imagine the look on the NPCs’ faces when we suddenly appear before them – it would be quite a spectacle!”
“Of course, once we slay those NPCs and take over the village, with our leader’s character, I’m sure we’ll reap great benefits.

However, there’s a formidable character in that NPC Village.

If we cannot stall him, our plan may…”
“Leave it to me.” To Zhou Tian’s relief, the Skeleton King cut him off and assured him, patting his chest again, “Don’t worry, leave dealing with that NPC to me.

You just need to command the large army.”
“I appreciate it.

The NPC is astonishingly powerful, and although your strength is also formidable, defeating that NPC may not be easy.

I suggest you bring a hundred Skeleton Archers with you when dealing with that NPC for insurance.

If you can’t handle him, just order the Skeleton Archers to attack – no matter how formidable that NPC is, he’ll find it difficult to escape certain death.” Zhou Tian suggested tentatively, appearing genuinely concerned for the Skeleton King’s safety.

The Skeleton King seemed touched by Zhou Tian’s gesture.

However, seeming to think little of Zhou Tian’s arrangement.

While the Skeleton King knew that capturing the NPC Village wouldn’t be easy – after all, previous Skeleton Kings and several monster branches had tried and failed – it underestimated the NPC’s strength, leading to a skewed perception of its adversary.

The Skeleton King thought that, although Zhou Tian had reduced its strength by taking some of their territory, regardless, being one of the final bosses in the beginner area, it should be on par with the strongest NPCs.

And if it had the strength to fight, the Skeleton King didn’t see a need to follow Zhou Tian’s advice to deal with its enemy.
