Chapter 343: Drag on time
It's no wonder that those mercenaries had that kind of performance at that time, but they themselves knew their own situation, and it was no problem for them to fight street battles or small wars, and let them directly charge the private army that had set up their military formations, unless they were the top mercenaries, otherwise according to the strength of ordinary mercenaries, it was impossible to break through the opponent's army formation anyway.

And according to the combat strength of most of the army, they can't fight those mercenaries alone, but once those mercenaries fall into their encirclement, then you almost don't have to think about it, and the fate of those mercenaries will definitely not be good. It was also because they knew how risky it was to storm the military formation, so those mercenaries would hesitate at that time.
Zhou Tian was sure that those mercenaries would behave like that at that time, so when he didn't want to go to war, he made the kind of arrangement at that time.
Courage and seeking death are two different things, if Zhou Tian does not set up such a formation, then even if he has the strength to defeat those mercenaries, the other party will not know. And according to their thoughts, after seeing Zhou Tian's territory, they were afraid that they would attack directly for the sake of the task reward without saying a word.
And when those mercenaries found out that Zhou Tian's strength was stronger than they imagined, and they were not opponents at all according to their strength, then when the two sides were already fighting together, they regretted it at that time and couldn't retreat, and in the end, they would only fight to the death with Zhou Tian in a daze.
On the contrary, like now, after Zhou Tian directly put out the power in his hands, those mercenaries saw that Zhou Tian's group of private soldiers and wulong formed a military formation, as long as they dared to rush forward, they would definitely die, even if they would not give up the task they had accepted at once, they would still not dare to step forward to launch an offensive for a while.
The first bird is not so easy to be, so according to the strength that Zhou Tian showed at that time, it is estimated that no matter who attacks at this time, he will inevitably be defeated by his men and horses at that time. And once Zhou Tian is defeated, those mercenaries will not be confident that they will be able to protect themselves.
Money is indeed a good thing for those mercenaries, but if even if they don't even have their lives, then for those mercenaries, no matter how much money they have, it doesn't mean anything.
So no matter how simple Zhou Tian's arrangement is, as long as it targets those mercenaries in the right way and achieves the same effect as it is now, it is not surprising.
And at this moment, after those mercenaries were frightened by Zhou Tian, all they needed to do was wait, and if Zhou Tian did not take the initiative to provoke those mercenaries, I believe that the other party would not dare to attack them under normal circumstances. In this way, as long as it drags on for a while, after Zhou Tian's prior arrangements play its due role, if you want to solve the group of mercenaries in front of you, I believe it will not be much difficult for Zhou Tian.
With that kind of thought at that time, Zhou Tian swung his military formation, so frightened that those mercenaries didn't dare to take the initiative to attack him, and he quieted down at that time.
However, although at that time, because of the formation put forward by Zhou Tian, those mercenaries were scared and did not dare to act rashly. But they don't have to go to the battlefield themselves, those mercenaries will be frightened by the formation put on by Zhou Tian, and those goblins in the rear don't have so many ideas, and after those mercenaries don't move, they will definitely put pressure on them.
At that time, those goblins didn't care why the mercenary team stopped, in their opinion, they paid a lot of money to invite these mercenaries to come out, that is, they wanted them to attack Zhou Tian's territory. Not to mention whether these mercenaries can break through Zhou Tian's territory, and stopping their actions directly like they are doing right now is something that those goblins cannot tolerate.
If these mercenaries don't take action, how can those goblins' plans be realized? And if Zhou Tian is given a period of time to recover, then no one can guarantee whether Zhou Tian will be able to take advantage of this time to recover his strength after a period of time.
Even if it doesn't look like the strength of Zhou Tian's territory is damaged at the moment, it can't be seen from the appearance alone, at least those goblins at that time don't want to believe that after the previous battle, the strength of Zhou Tian's territory will not be damaged.
Anyway, there was no need for them to do anything dangerous, since they didn't want to believe that the strength of Zhou Tian's territory was not damaged, then they would definitely want to prove their guess at that time. In this way, in that environment, whether it was for their ultimate purpose or to prove that their ideas were right, directing those mercenaries to attack Zhou Tian's camp was what those goblins would inevitably do at that time.
As for those mercenaries, after watching Zhou Tian's performance, they definitely wouldn't want to attack their military formation. But the problem at the moment is that even if those people don't want to do that, as long as those goblins have made up their minds to attack their territory, then even if most of the mercenaries don't want to do that, they still can't refute their orders in the end.
Mercenaries are not armies, so they are only hired with those goblins, and there is no even subordinate relationship, and the original orders of those goblins should not be too binding on those mercenaries.
But while the relationship between those mercenaries and the goblins is not so close, one thing that must be considered is that the reason why those mercenaries came to deal with Zhou Tian was because those goblins paid a very high price to impress them at that time. Therefore, as long as those mercenaries were still thinking about getting paid by those goblins at that time, then before the end of the mission, even if they were disrespectful, they could not completely ignore the opinions of those goblins.
And urging them to hurry up and attack Zhou Tian's territory, in the eyes of those mercenaries, the behavior of those goblins was very annoying, but one thing that could not be ignored was that the behavior of those goblins at that time was no matter how annoying it was, and logically speaking, there was no problem with their behavior at that time.
When they came, they had already explained the general situation of Zhou Tian's territory, and those mercenaries knew the situation before taking over that task. In this way, after knowing the situation of Zhou Tian's territory in advance, they really don't want to fight when they are really on the battlefield now, how can there be such a good thing in this world?
That's right, the troops of the Goblin Empire have not come over now, so those goblins have not limited the ability of those mercenaries at that time. In this way, as long as those mercenaries refused to cooperate, no matter how angry they were, those goblins at that time still had nothing to do with them.
But if the relationship between those goblins and the mercenaries is tense because of that matter, then there is no need to mention revenge or anything, at least one reward, and those mercenaries have to consider whether those goblins will pay happily at that time. And according to the thoughts of those mercenaries, they can't give up the reward for this operation.
If the goblin empire's reward was not attractive to those mercenaries, they would not have participated in this operation knowing that Zhou Tian was so beneficial. And since those mercenaries chose to join the war, there is no possibility of quitting.
Even if they knew that they really wanted to fight with Zhou Tian according to their strength, they would definitely not be able to take advantage of it at that time. But because he was reluctant to give up the reward that seemed to be about to arrive, although he hesitated, in the end, those mercenaries would definitely choose to relent.
Zhou Tian estimated that at most, he hesitated for a while, as long as those goblins were forced at that time, according to the mentality of those mercenaries, it was estimated that even if they knew Zhou Tian's interests, they would still choose to attack Zhou Tian at that time.
And at that time, Zhou Tian couldn't stop moving, otherwise, if he really let those goblins force the mercenaries to participate in the war, wouldn't all the efforts made by Zhou Tian before be in vain?
Zhou Tian was reluctant to let his previous efforts go to waste, so in that situation, he must have made some preparations to deal with it.
Fighter!
Although this custom has almost disappeared on Earth, and there is no such habit in the current world, Zhou Tian is confident that if he does this, those mercenaries will definitely not refuse at that time.
Why did those mercenaries refuse? At least on the surface, the individual strength of those mercenaries at that time was far stronger than Zhou Tian's side. Now that Zhou Tian does not use his advantages but uses his disadvantages to fight them, those mercenaries must have no reason not to accept them.
And those mercenaries are not stupid, if the goblins force them to start a war with Zhou Tian, they will definitely do it if they can't refuse. But if you do that, the loss will be a little reined just by thinking about the mercenaries. And Zhou Tian gave them such a good excuse to delay time, and those mercenaries would refuse when they had bad brains.
Confident that there would be no problems with his thoughts, Zhou Tian took action directly according to the ideas in his heart at that time.
"This is the territory of the Viscount of Zhou Tian of the Orc Empire, you mercenaries dare to enter at will without permission, do you want to provoke the majesty of the Orc Empire?"
Listening to the words of the orc officer who walked out of Zhou Tian's camp, even the group of mercenaries who had already been mentally prepared couldn't help but hesitate for a moment. After all, although it is not a secret that Zhou Tian is at odds with the Orc Empire, the specific situation is not something that those mercenaries can know. In this way, no matter how nice those goblins said, there was no 100% evidence to prove everything, and those mercenaries would inevitably feel empty when they attacked Zhou Tian's territory at that time.
If Zhou Tian's relationship with the Orc Empire is not good, then with the Goblin Empire to help them take the blame, those mercenaries don't have to worry that the Orc Empire will come to them for trouble because of this matter. But if there was no problem with Zhou Tian's relationship with the Orc Empire, those mercenaries knew very well that based on what they were doing at this time, it was estimated that no matter how far they escaped, I was afraid that the high-level leaders of the Orc Empire would not let them go.
Therefore, because of the fear of the prestige of the Orc Empire, when Zhou Tian released that kind of words, those mercenaries couldn't help but be a little scared when they were affected by this.
Seeing the performance of those mercenaries, the goblins who were behind them at that time immediately became anxious, if the mercenaries in front of them were really scared away, then there would be no way for their plan to continue. After all, the orc empire's restrictions on them are there, even if they want to regather so many mercenaries, it is a little difficult for them, and if they want to directly attack Zhou Tian's territory with their own strength, they know from the beginning that the high-level of the goblin empire knows that it is simply impossible to do.
So this time the mercenaries were nervous about their unpaid pay, but in fact the goblins valued the invasion more than they thought. But if they fail to break through Zhou Tian's territory this time, it basically means that, like the last few times, they will not be able to do Zhou Tian in a short period of time.
And according to the psychology of those goblins at that time, when they found that the mentality of those mercenaries had changed again, in order to avoid accidents, they had to say something.
"Hugh is talking nonsense, the discord between your Viscount Zhou Tian and the orc royal family has already spread, if we can break through your territory, it will be too late for the high-level of the orc empire to be happy, how can you blame us?"
"It's just rumors, you dare to believe it, it's really fearless for the unknown!"
"Whether it's a rumor or not, you know it yourself!"
ā......ā
After the two sides argued for a while about the relationship between Zhou Tian and the high-level of the orc empire, seeing that there was no point in talking about that topic any further, the orc officer under Zhou Tian stopped arguing, and the tone of his words changed, but he suddenly mentioned at that time: "Originally, according to what you are doing now, it is not too much for our viscount to ask the high-level of the empire to administer justice, but considering that the killing caused by this is too great, he does not want to invite the orc army." But let you retreat like this, I guess you won't be willing, so our Viscount decided to have a competition with you, and each side will send a team of people to fight alone, and decide the outcome of this battle according to this, what do you think?"
"Get out, we're ......"
"We agreed. ā
Just as Zhou Tian thought, at least on the surface, his proposal at that time was absolutely beneficial to the other party, so although he was unhappy that Zhou Tian took the initiative to make such an arrangement, and some people opposed his proposal at the beginning, but the group of people who kept calm directly accepted the invitation to his showdown.
And even those who originally disagreed, after calming down, would not oppose that decision. In this way, no matter what Zhou Tian thought at the time, in short, after his subordinates put forward that proposal, they immediately won the approval of those goblins and mercenaries.
As a result, there is nothing to talk about, and after the two sides reach an agreement, the next thing to wait for is the fight between the two sides to arrange the manpower.
This time, Zhou Tian and those mercenaries didn't make any small moves, Zhou Tian wanted to use this link to delay time, and it was definitely impossible to do anything superfluous, and those mercenaries knew that Zhou Tian had arranged the kind of battle link that was beneficial to them, and they had no reason to make trouble at that time.
As a result, with the cooperation of both sides, their preparations for the fight were quickly completed.
