Elijah had seen them before and knew their identities, so Hei Guaner did not hide his purpose: "We have nothing to do here, so of course we have to go back. Nadutong will not get involved in the affairs of Nasen Island and Behemoth."
Elijah nodded. "I heard the broadcast of the UAV. Mr. Huang said that he would accept all foreigners who speak Chinese. There are some innocent Chinese in the market. You can take them away."
Although Nasen Island only took in desperate aliens from various countries, over the past thousand years, these aliens lived together on the island and had children. Over time, a group of indigenous people on the island emerged, and many new people who believed in the sacred tree came from them.
Among them, ethnic groups with strong family concepts, such as the Chinese, have the largest number of people.
When Mr. Huang talked about taking in innocent Chinese in his drone, he was referring to the Chinese who had only entered Nasen Island in modern times, who were born in China, could speak their native language, and recognized themselves as Han Chinese.
There were also some people like this who were trying to make a living near the market. The Nasen people were no longer killing innocent people. Nasen Wei Elijah, who stayed in the market to command, wanted to hand these people over to the people of Nadutong.
Seeing that among the people Elijah was talking about was a young child curled up in his mother's arms, panicking and at a loss, Old Meng felt sympathy and spoke first, which was rare:
"We will send these people back and blend in with them to conceal our identities."
Wang Zhenqiu embraced Lao Meng and said, "I never realized that you have such a sharp mind. You came up with an excuse in an instant."
"Hey, but this is too boring. I won't participate. Anyway, you are enough for the escort work. Brother Xiao and I will be masked to lead the way for you and test the strength of Behemoth. Anyway, you few are more than enough to escort a group of people back."
These words greatly suited Xiao Zizai's heart, and he nodded continuously.
Unexpectedly, just after he finished speaking, Wang Zhenqiu suddenly stood up straight and said righteously: "Protecting children is my duty and I cannot shirk it. I will do my best to protect them."
After swearing, Wang Zhenqiu woke up from his trance and cursed: "Damn it! Isn't Shizilang forbidden to leave the country? Why can he still influence me on Nasen Island!"
Feng Baobao said seriously: "Shizilang can't come out, but it doesn't mean that he can't come out with his power. The prisoners in the Nadutong prison in North China can sometimes throw a ball of paper out of the cell."
Zhang Chulan quickly pulled Feng Baobao and told her not to provoke Wang Zhenqiu anymore.
Hei Guan'er was quite amused. "Forget it. Lao Xiao and I will go to the front to clear the way. You can let Wang Zhenqiu change your appearance and blend into the crowd. It will also be a good opportunity to help Mr. Huang in advance and check those people who are restless."
Zhang Chulan thought: When did that bastard acquire the ability to disguise himself?
······
"Your Majesty, the people of Nadutong have already withdrawn from Nasen Island. Some unidentified people were scared away. Only DC, who was determined to fight against Behemoth, insisted on staying to help us."
Under the sacred tree, King Nathan reported the situation on the island to Hu Xiuwu.
Hu Xiuwu frowned. DC is the Avengers Alliance, which is composed of people who have grudges against Behemoth. They know a lot about Behemoth, and he still needs them. It is not a good idea to use force for the time being.
"Elena!"
"exist."
Elena, who has a pretty face, a calm and charming demeanor, and a temperament somewhat similar to that of a scraper, kneels on one knee, ready to take on her mission.
"Go and tell the leaders of DC that Nathan Island is preparing to counterattack Behemoth. Ask them to help sneak attack Behemoth's aircraft carrier and support Nathan."
Since speaking directly doesn't work, let's use tricks.
Don't you have a grudge against Behemoth? Then help us carry out a dangerous mission.
"Yes."
Elena didn't complain at all and teleported immediately to complete the task.
Hu Xiuwu turned his head and looked at Wang Ye who was sitting cross-legged under the sacred tree: "How about it, are you sure about what I said?"
Wang Ye opened his eyes and exhaled: "I can only give it a try. Even with this sacred tree, I am not very confident."
Hu Xiuwu comforted him, "Don't worry, you are not the winner, you are just my temporary insurance, don't feel pressured."
Wang Ye's mouth twitched, and he looked at Hu Xiuwu with empty eyes: "You, grandson, are really good at comforting people!"
Chapter 459 Golden Tree
Hu Xiuwu pretended not to hear the resentment in Wangye's words: "Of course, I have always been good at comforting people. Duoer always said that I am very considerate."
Wang Ye was so angry that his teeth were about to fall out. He said indignantly: "How can you believe what Chen Duo said about you? It's too biased!"
Hu Xiuwu's sharp comment: "The jealousy of single people."
Wang Ye cursed under his breath.
Hu Xiuwu was very happy to be able to joke with Wang Ye. Few people dared to talk to him like this now. He had met Shan Shitong a few days ago. They were childhood friends who practiced Taoism together in Maoshan, but he was still a little restrained when meeting Hu Xiuwu.
What did Mr. Zhou Shuren say? There is a sadly thick barrier between him and me.
"Fortunately, there is still this rich young man who is indifferent to fame and disgrace."
Hu Xiuwu was very pleased.
After Wang Ye had vented his anger, he got down to business: "You have already sent away all the innocent people, why don't you take action?"
Hu Xiuwu said: "I'm waiting for the signal."
Wang Ye asked, "Signal, what signal?"
Hu Xiuwu said: "Behemoth has the means and resources, and is good at modern technology and biological transformation. What do you think they will do when they encounter unexpected resistance?"
Wang also thought about it: "I remember there seems to be a saying on the Internet: when you are poor, you should use tactics to intersperse; when you are rich, you should use firepower to cover the ground?"
"Wait, is Behemoth going to bomb Nason Island again!?"
Wang Ye looked up at Hu Xiuwu, but fireworks were blooming in his pupils!
"You guessed it! Wang Ye, have you ever experienced the feeling of a missile exploding next to you?"
Hu Xiuwu turned around, and behind him was a vast expanse of sea and sky as blue as glass. There were black cracks on the glass, and several traces of rockets with thick smoke billowing out of them, splitting the sky and sea, getting closer and closer.
Wang Ye yelled, "I don't want to experience it!"
Missiles land on the island!
Infinite light penetrated his eyelids, and even with his eyes closed, Wang Ye saw a pure white world; a roar followed the light, deafening.
Finally, Wang Ye felt the thousand tons of heat wave coming towards him.
······
"It was a standard tactical bombing. The explosion range was calculated by computer. It only destroyed the commanding heights and possible resistance organizations around the target, but did not harm the core mission objectives."
On the deck, Gao Tianye put down his high-powered telescope and expressed his recognition of the enemy's high level of tactical capabilities.
Director Huang shook his head: "The two ships that were shot down by the golden light just now should be the latest carrier-based fighter jets of the United States. Each ship costs more than 100 million US dollars."
"Add to that two waves of missiles and the casualties. Behemoth has already spent billions of dollars on this operation! They must have some visible results. Otherwise, even if the Keller family is more powerful in Behemoth, Ron Keller, as the highest commander of this operation, will not get any benefits."
"Ron may have been forced into a desperate situation and has no choice but to burn his boats."
Ron must have understood in his heart that it was a luxury to easily capture Nathan Island as Behemoth had expected.
But he could no longer stop. He was like standing on the edge of a cliff, holding onto a hemp rope that held a treasure chest full of gold hanging on the edge of the cliff.
He knew clearly that the heavy gold would most likely drag him into the abyss, with veins bulging on his face and his feet constantly sliding towards the abyss, but he still refused to let go, still fantasizing about the wealthy life he would live after pulling up the treasure.
Huang Dong leaned against the bridge and watched all the helicopters and speedboats of Behemoth rush to Nason Island:
"How will Nason Island cope with Behemoth going all out?"
······
"Nason Island is no match for Behemoth. It's my turn to play next."
Hu Xiuwu placed his hand on the Nasen sacred tree.
The sacred tree that Behemoth had dreamed of was not gorgeous in appearance, and was not even as tall as the ash trees on the roadside in the city. The leaves were sparse and yellow, and it looked like it was dying and decaying.
The sacred tree absorbs the essence of the earth to survive and grows on the life force sacrificed by the gods and their people.
The former forest kingdom occupied the entire European continent. Countless people who believed in the sacred tree and captured war criminals became gladiators and fought to the death under the tree. The loser sacrificed everything he had to become nutrients for the sacred tree.
The endless flow of life force made the sacred tree at that time block out the sky and the sun.
The sacred tree is not an evil creature that only knows how to take, it never spares its power. Children born under the tree will be blessed by the tree and become innate extraordinary people.
Old leaves fall and new buds sprout.
To nourish life with death and to continue civilization with life is the essence of the sacred tree and the primitive law believed by the forest country.
The sacred tree trapped on an isolated island relied solely on the sacrifices of King Nathan and the Nathan Guards. It was unable to make ends meet, and the situation was getting worse day by day. Fewer and fewer gods were born under the tree.
"Today I'll let you suck as much as you want and see how much of your former glory you can restore."
Life force, or the innate Qi mentioned in the East, is the most abundant thing for the Yin Lord who controls the gate of reincarnation. A little bit of it will always dissipate every time when the person is reborn and goes through the cycle of life and death.
The palm of his hand is connected to Yin Jun’s treasure house, and a huge amount of life force gushes out.
The sacred tree, which finally received the rain, rustled, and each leaf moved without wind, like a hungry traveler in the desert, thirsty for water and rice.
The glory of the sacred tree was relit, and the golden sacred light reappeared. Under the leadership of the king, Nasenwei prayed under the shade of the golden tree.
Amid the hymns of praise, the curled up sacred tree stretched out with the nourishment of a vast amount of life force, revealing its former appearance.
The dazzling golden canopy replaced the sky, covering the entire Nason Island and protecting the people on the island.
All the gods and people who believed in the tree felt the strength increase in their bodies, which was the blessing given to them by the tree.
Even more than ten kilometers away, on Behemoth's aircraft carrier, the power of the golden tree could be felt.
“That’s the sacred tree!”
Ron held onto the railing, murmuring enthusiastically, staring intently at the dazzling light. That was the glory he had always dreamed of.
"I must obtain its power! And become the god of the new world!"
Then, do whatever you want!
Ged, who was sent by the Keller family to assist Ron, advised him rationally: "Ron, Nathan Island has demonstrated a strength we have never seen before. We should be more cautious. Hold off on the action and wait for the command from the headquarters."
Ron Keller retorted: "It is precisely because Nathan's strength has greatly improved that we have to continue the attack. The griffin has just spread its wings. It is a good time for hunters to hunt. If it is too late, we can only watch him soar into the sky."
The highest commander on the scene insisted on his own way, and Gad had no choice. After all, he was just a staff officer sent by the Keller family. He finally struggled:
"I'll send a message to headquarters."
Ron Keller had no intention of falling out with Gad: "Of course, this is your duty, but I will not stop the attack until the order from headquarters comes."
······
"I was worried that they would stop attacking, so I thought of asking you for help."
Hu Xiuwu explained to Wang Ye.
"We want to keep all the power that Behemoth has on the island before he can react. It's up to you, Old King."
