By the time things had progressed to that stage, Zhou Tian had almost completed his preparations. Although there were still many people left in the NPC Village, most of them were just NPC civilians, apart from a few hidden powerhouses. Considering the combat power of those NPCs, their numbers might be considerable, but Zhou Tian's Beastman Warriors could probably take them all down.
Given the strength of the external NPCs, Zhou Tian couldn't guarantee that his Beastman Warriors could successfully contain them. Therefore, to avoid any changes, Zhou Tian started his action without hesitation at that moment.
At Zhou Tian's order, his Beastman Warriors suddenly charged out from their hiding places and raced directly into the village, regardless of the threats from the guards.
There was no tall city wall in the small village. It was simply surrounded by a mud wall, which served as the defense works for the NPC Village. Since the enemies they usually faced had limited intelligence, the NPCs rarely encountered monsters from other places infiltrating their village as long as they guarded the gate.
However, due to Zhou Tian's order this time, those defense methods of the NPCs were directly compromised.
If the Beastman Warriors wanted to pass through the mud wall of the village, it couldn't stand their attacks. Under such circumstances, with Zhou Tian's command, his Beastman Warriors demolished most of the mud wall of the NPC Village in less than a quarter of an hour.
While Zhou Tian's Beastman Warriors were demolishing the wall, although the NPCs had the will to stop them, they were incapable of doing so having already dispatched most of their forces. Even the NPCs who were working extremely hard couldn't stop the Beastman Warriors under such circumstances.
In this way, Zhou Tian created several passages around the village at the cost of certain casualties among the Beastman Warriors.
After opening up the passages, the rest was naturally easy.
"Kill all, burn all, loot all! Use your full capacity to create destruction inside. Whoever makes the biggest contribution, I'll recommend him as a new warrior to our leader!". As soon as the passages were opened, Zhou Tian immediately began to mobilize his Beastman Warriors. Despite their limited intelligence, the Beastman Warriors could understand part of Zhou Tian's message. At the very least, they understood his hint of being promoted to Beastman Warriors. Having understood Zhou Tian's words, they were obviously very excited.
Monsters also have their desires, and the attraction of becoming a BOSS is certainly great for them. As such, not only would these Beastman Warriors never defy Zhou Tian's orders, but the rewards offered by Zhou Tian are more than enough motivation for them to fight for their life.
Under such circumstances, the destructive power demonstrated by those Beastman Warriors even shocked Zhou Tian, who was the instigator of this action.
A Beastman Warrior rushed into the crowd of civilians, wielding his weapon, and each strike could kill a civilian.
Several other Beastman Warriors surrounded an NPC soldier, and after a fierce fight, the NPC ended up succumbing to their superior numbers, and fell in a pool of blood.
Someone set a big fire, and in just a moment, more than ten thatched houses were set ablaze. By the end of this battle, countless NPC civilians would be buried in the fire caused by those flames.
After the initiation, the course of events had completely slipped out of Zhou Tian's control. When the Beastman warriors went berserk, their destructive power far surpassed Zhou Tian's expectations. Amidst the extensive carnage, there would be a Beastman warrior evolving every few minutes. Among them were elite Beastman warriors, and even a few Beastman warriors had directly advanced to Beastman Knights during the fight.
In other words, although Zhou Tian instigated this attack on the village, he had completely lost control of the battle situation as it progressed. After all, Zhou Tian was just a Beastman Knight who lost his command over other warriors when other Beastman Knights appeared in his team. Given the circumstances, Zhou Tian had no choice but to follow the mainstream.
Of course, having put in so much effort and finally infiltrated the NPC Village, Zhou Tian couldn't just hide in the shadows and do nothing.
Although entering the village at that moment posed a considerable risk, if the NPCs discovered his location, he believed that they would spare no cost to ensure he wouldn't leave alive.
However, Zhou Tian was no different from an ordinary Beastman Knight. Therefore, when some Beastman warriors evolved into Beastman Knights and drew the attention of the NPCs, Zhou Tian decided to join the fight.
Instead of going head-to-head with the NPC Soldiers, Zhou Tian targeted the NPC civilians after joining the battle. By avoiding the NPC soldiers and gaining experience from slaughtering the civilians, Zhou Tian was able to evolve once again.
Somehow, Zhou Tian's actions had won the favor of the god of monsters. After evolving once more, he surprisingly gained a Frost Talent ability. From then on, Zhou Tian's strength underwent a qualitative change.
The Speed Talent allowed Zhou Tian to move and attack faster, while the Strong Talent increased his defense and HP. These two talents made Zhou Tian an experienced Beastman Knight, even though he was a newcomer. However, although these two talents were of great help, they were actually the most basic ones.
In this world, Elemental Talents are the mainstream power talents. Typically, mid-to-high level bosses possessed numerous Elemental Talents. However, among the lower level bosses, those with Elemental Talents were quite rare.
Being quite rare, the abilities of Elemental Talents were naturally not inferior.
Ice, Fire, Poison, Electricity... Although there are many sub-categories of Elemental Talents, there are only a handful of major systems. Among the four systems known to Zhou Tian, while it's hard to rank them, the Frost Talent is certainly not the weakest, much less the bottom of the list.
The Frost Talent only served one purpose: When Zhou Tian attacked an enemy, there was a certain probability of inflicting a freezing effect. If Zhou Tian's Elemental Talent came into play, the enemy's movement and attack speed would be reduced to less than half of its original. It could be imagined, in the middle of a battle if the movement and attack slowed down by more than half, it would considerably weaken the opponent's strength. In such a situation, even if the opponent held the upper hand, they were likely to cut a sorry figure.
With a significant increase in strength from the Frost Talent, Zhou Tian was immensely thrilled. However, his good mood didn't last long. After the initial chaos, when the NPCs made proper arrangements and reacted, the situation became harsher for Zhou Tian and his team.
Indeed, the primary combat power of the NPC Village had mostly left, but many NPC powerhouses, the core strength of the village, had stayed behind. As such, when they began to exert their strength, the pressure on Zhou Tian and his team naturally increased considerably.
