Bab 1197: Chapter 470 Counterattack_2

At the same time, the Human Emperor was well aware that the reason the situation had evolved into its current state was ultimately due to his own performance not meeting the expectations of those forces. It was precisely because he, the newcomer on whom great hopes had been pinned, had no notable success when facing Zhou Tian that these forces had begun to despair of his camp. Had they not thought him no match for Zhou Tian, they likely would not have considered defecting to Zhou Tian, their former enemy.

Therefore, if the Human Emperor wanted to change the situation now, the simplest method was to restore confidence among those forces. Only by reinstating the forces' confidence in him and making them aware that with him present Zhou Tian could not easily prevail over them, would those forces, already contemplating capitulation, possibly change their minds.
