After finishing Chapter 21, Run

Only a minute or two may have passed in the game, but in Zhou Tian's world, several hours had elapsed. The team of players put up a determined fight; even surrounded by Zhou Tian's several beastmen warriors, they continued to exchange blow for blow. Given the circumstances, Zhou Tian's beastmen warriors might not be able to overpower them quickly.

Noting the situation, Zhou Tian calculated that the players' potions must be running low. Regardless of the losses on his side, he then slowly emerged from the encirclement of his beastmen warriors.

The players simply had bad luck to encounter Zhou Tian, they were doomed. But compared to allowing his beastman warriors to kill them off, Zhou Tian was not going to pass up the opportunity to gain some advantage.

In the monster world, only strength matters, so whether or not leadership is important is a moot point. Contributions made by subordinates are credited to them, and the commander doesn't get credit for anything.
