Regardless of whether they would do so, if those NPCs were so inclined, it would be disastrous for Zhou Tian if the monsters within the player forces learned of this matter. No matter how diligently Zhou Tian worked in the future, it was estimated that no monsters would be willing to defect to him. And by that time, Zhou Tian would likely have to resort to force to subdue the monsters within player territories, but that would mean cutting off the very path to expansion he had just found.
If taking over a territory required the use of force and defending it from NPC attacks afterwards, then the necessity of Zhou Tian's expansion within player spheres of influence seemed pointless. The rewards he would gain from such actions, in Zhou Tian's view, were far less valuable compared to expanding in other directions.
