Under one person: I, Zhang Zhiwei, the arrogant Zhang.

"An army is landing on the island?"

Everyone was shocked. This was really one crisis after another. How should they deal with it?
Lu Jin, Lu Ci and others looked at Zhang Zhiwei.

The Nathan guards and King Nathan looked at the sacred tree. In the past, when such things happened, it was King Nathan who made the decisions, but now that the sacred tree appeared, it was naturally the sacred tree that made the decision.

Zhang Zhiwei also looked at the sacred tree: "How do you want to deal with this situation? I'm not interested in cleaning up the mess for you!"

Not long ago, it secretly guided the Nasen guards to clean up the people sent to Nasen Island from various countries.

The Prussian colonel mentioned above was just one of them.

Obviously, this behavior of Nasen Island has caused strong dissatisfaction among the outside military, and they are about to take action against Nasen Island.

And this is exactly one part of the God Tree's plan. According to the God Tree's original plan, Nasen Island will have a difficult battle with the outside army.

In this battle, the outside army will understand that as long as the sacred tree is still there, Nasen Island will not surrender. In order to recruit the gods' people, the army will burn the sacred forest so that it can fake its death and escape.

Afterwards, the divine guards and divine people were incorporated into the military and left the island under the protection of the military, becoming the capital for its future development and growth.

This was a risky move. After all, it was carried out under the eyes of the alien forces that blocked Nason Island. There was a risk of failure. Even if it succeeded, a large number of gods and people would be lost, and the vitality would be seriously damaged.

But now, it has signed a contract with the Tiantong Sect Leader and no longer needs to take risks.

Then these troops that landed on the island are naturally worthless. In order to prevent them from causing massive damage on the Stretching Island, they need to be eliminated.

The sacred tree had expected Zhang Zhiwei not to help, and it didn't really need him to. A lean camel is bigger than a horse. It would be difficult for the tree to cope with a head-on confrontation with Zhang Zhiwei, but it was more than enough to deal with an army composed mostly of mortals.

It sent a message to Zhang Zhiwei, telling him that it already knew about the soldiers landing on the island and that it would deal with them.

"How are you going to deal with it?" Zhang Zhiwei asked curiously.

"All mortal armies have morale. If their morale is destroyed, they will become a pile of loose sand."

"The reason why they can land a large number of ordinary soldiers on Nasen Island so easily is because I have influenced the Qi situation covering the island."

"Once I stop influencing, the sea area around Nathan Island will be covered by storms and big waves, and it will be very difficult for ordinary ships to come in."

"Even warships have a high chance of capsizing and running aground unless they find a route to avoid it."

"This route is controlled by the group of people in the market, which is why they can obtain supplies from the outside world."

Hearing this, Zhang Zhiwei nodded, it was indeed the case.

In the plot, Nathan Island is a place similar to the Bermuda Triangle, with very strong winds and waves, and the signal can easily disappear when sailing.

"The market has done a lot of transactions with people outside the island. Has the route you mentioned been traded?" Zhang Zhiwei asked.

The sacred tree responded: "I don't know, and it doesn't matter. I can easily destroy this route and let them fall into the storm."

"By then, it will be difficult for them to land on the island, and I will deal with those who have already landed."

Zhang Zhiwei said: "How to deal with it? Kill them all?!"

The sacred tree stared at Zhang Zhiwei for a moment and said slowly:

"When hunting, if you want to avoid any accidents, you can't block all the prey's escape routes, so you have an idiom called 'let go'."

"I will open a net to let them escape, so that they will know how powerful I am, but I won't anger them too much and cause them to retaliate wildly."

Zhang Zhiwei looked at the sacred tree. Who could have thought that this oak-like creature could be so shrewd.

The old man who refuses to die is a thief. No wonder in the plot, he can play around with some of the world's largest forces, such as Behemoth and the Nadutong Company.

"Deputy Leader, it's up to you to perform next." He patted the branches of the sacred tree and said.

……

……

At the same time, at sea, a fleet was approaching Nason Island.

The fleet is not large, and is mainly composed of light ships, mostly destroyers, torpedo boats, minesweepers, and then some transport ships and landing barges.

Most transport ships are converted cargo ships ranging from 5,000 to 10,000 tons.

These ships did not come from a single country, but from a coalition of several countries. Nasen Island’s previous behavior angered them, so they just captured this place first and then talked about the distribution of benefits.

Under the cover of many destroyers, two transport ships have already dropped troops onto the island. As the vanguard, they have built a simple dock from the barges and are gathering troops.

On the battleship, Longger, wearing a colonel's uniform, looked at Nason Island through a telescope and said:

"Has it been confirmed that Lucas of Prussia died on Nasen Island?"

"It has been confirmed, it is true." said the adjutant.

Longger sighed, "He was a smart man who was foolish in one lifetime. He actually wanted to seize Nasen Island by trickery, but he didn't expect that he would die there."

"I won't make the same mistake as him. Although there is intelligence that there is a sacred tree on Nasen Island, as long as you break the branches of the sacred tree, you can challenge the throne. If the challenge is successful, you can become the new king."

"It sounds great at first, but how can the king of a foreign country be defeated so easily?"

"We don't have time to play the barbarian game with them to fight for the chieftaincy. We can just conquer them directly."

Hearing this, the adjutant laughed and said, "What the chief said is absolutely right. What kingdom of God, what sacred tree? With strong ships and powerful guns, how can there be a kingdom of God?!"

"By the way, speaking of this Nasen Divine Kingdom, it reminds me of the Celestial Empire back then."

"What are you talking about? The Central Kingdom was opened by us, and their emperor was chased by us, running like a stray dog."

"In my opinion, their King Nathan will suffer the same fate this time."

"No... that's not right. The outcome is still different. The Celestial Empire is vast and the emperor can still run away. But the Kingdom of God is just on a small island. There is nowhere to run even if he wants to!"

The adjutant was talking with saliva flying.

Long Geer smiled and said, "You can't say that. Didn't the Celestial Empire produce a very powerful Tiantong Sect Leader? There may not be such a powerful being on this Nasen Island."

The adjutant laughed and said, "That's definitely not the case. If there was, we wouldn't be trapped on this island!"

As the two chatted and laughed, they didn't notice that the sky, which had been cloudless just a moment ago, had been covered with dark clouds.

The sea was rough, and the huge waves kept hitting the ship, causing it to shake violently. Only then did they realize that something was wrong. Just as they were about to communicate with other ships, they saw a transport ship not far away hit a reef with a deafening crash, followed by seawater backflow and the ship capsized.

The soldiers inside quickly lowered the lifeboat and tried to escape, but the sea was too rough and the lifeboat could not hold on. A huge wave hit and the lifeboat disappeared into the vast ocean.

This situation is really a dilemma. The boat has capsized. Staying on the boat means death, and leaving the boat will also result in drowning.

"What's going on? Why are there sudden big waves? Isn't this the safe route that the fat guy named Big B mentioned?" Colonel Longger was furious.

The adjutant said quickly: "This wind is a little abnormal, it's coming too fast, it might be the aliens on Nathan Island causing trouble."

"When I conquered Africa before, I saw their witches. They could exchange blood sacrifices for power from the devil, and they caused huge casualties to us."

"But he also paid the price with his life. This kind of power is usually unsustainable. We just have to hold on."

As soon as he finished speaking, another destroyer ran aground. Thick smoke came out of the hull and it capsized under the impact of huge waves. In such strong winds and waves, they could only watch it capsize and sink and could do nothing.

After losing two ships in succession, Longger was sweating profusely. He looked around and found that the closer he was to Nasen Island, the stronger the wind and waves would be, and the farther he was from it, the weaker the wind and waves would be.

The wind and waves just now had blown them away from that safe route. If they continued forward, the risk of running aground would be too great.

"Retreat, let all ships retreat and leave this dangerous sea area!" he gave the order immediately.

……

……

At the same time, because of the strong winds blowing on the sea, in order to avoid the storm, the soldiers who had already landed on the island headed towards the forest.

As a forest country, Nason Island has lush vegetation, but this lushness hides dangers.

All the vegetation under their feet seemed to have been drained of its vitality and suddenly withered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Everyone stared at this scene in a daze. Then, screams rang out one after another, and twisted branches suddenly stretched out from the withered ground.

The branches were like human hands, grabbing their ankles.

The soldiers were terrified. Some struggled desperately and crawled backwards. Some picked up their guns and shot at the ground. Some shot so accurately that they broke tree roots. Some broke their own legs in panic, and some hit their companions.

In short, the scene was chaotic.

Soon after one wave of troubles came another, the branches extending from the ground continued to grow outwards until they emerged from the ground as a whole. They turned out to be human-like tree men.

Some of those whose ankles were entangled before and who were unable to break free were directly pinned to the ground by the tree man.

The roots on the tree people were like poisonous snakes, entwining around them, piercing into their bodies, and beginning to absorb their blood.

The soldier who was sucked in was visibly shriveled, while the tree man had a hint of blood on his body.

After inhaling the drug, the tree man threw away the corpse, roared loudly, and rushed towards the soldiers like a zombie.

This scene was so horrifying that the soldiers all turned pale and were in confusion. Some even had trembling thighs and the urge to urinate so badly that their crotches were soaked.

However, there were also battle-hardened veterans and aliens among these soldiers. Under the command of their superiors, they quickly reorganized their formation and began to resist the tree people.

The tree people that Zhang Zhiwei dealt with before were transformed from the Nasen Guards in the past, but the tree people now are just ordinary gods and people transformed after their death.

The sacred tree drained the vitality of the surrounding plants and injected it into the corpses of the dead gods, transforming them into tree people and resurrecting them to fight off the invading enemies.

These tree people transformed from gods and people did not have complete consciousness left because their subjective consciousness was not polished enough during their lifetime.

Therefore, its strength is very weak and it can only attack like a strengthened version of zombies, but even so, it is still quite terrifying for ordinary soldiers.

The soldiers were organizing a counterattack, firing a hail of bullets at the tree people.

But tree people are more difficult to deal with than zombies. Zombies have a weakness in their heads, but tree people have no weaknesses at all. Even if their heads are blown to pieces, their broken limbs will still continue to move forward.

Therefore, even though the soldiers regrouped their firepower after the previous panic, it was just like raindrops hitting huge waves. It did not cause much trouble, nor could it stop the tree people's aggressive attack.

The tree people and the soldiers collided with each other, a collision of steel and claws, firearms and savagery.

As soon as the two sides came into contact, the battle, no, it should be said that the fight, entered a white-hot stage. Blood splattered and the ground was covered with broken limbs.

Even though there are many powerful aliens among the soldiers, it is difficult to reverse the decline.

The battle happened too hastily, and a sudden storm cut off their reinforcements and artillery resources from the warships.

They did not have heavy weapons to deal with these tree people, and the guns in their hands were a little too weak to use against these monsters that were difficult to kill.

What's more crucial is that although these tree people look like zombies, their attacks are extremely methodical. They even know how to avoid fire points, interspersed with various tactics, and outflanking them. They can't resist at all.

"I didn't realize you're a master of micromanipulation?" Zhang Zhiwei, who was secretly observing the battle, was a little surprised. "Then why did you just rush forward blindly when you were dealing with me before, without any tactics or methods?"

The sacred tree was silent for a moment, then replied, "In the face of your overwhelming strength, tactics and strategies are all in vain!"

"What you said makes sense!" Zhang Zhiwei grinned. He looked up at the retreating warships on the sea. He could even see the panicked faces on the ships.

Then he turned his attention to the coastline. In the fierce fighting, large groups of soldiers were torn to pieces, killed, and devoured. They could only retreat to the coastline while fighting.

Although there were no warships on the windswept coastline, there were two barges anchored.

The two barges built a floating dock on the shallows, which contained a few heavy weapons that could be used to resist the attack of the tree people.

There were also soldiers left on the barge. When they saw the situation here, they began to move out cannons.

The sacred tree sensed their intentions and sent out the tree people transformed from Nasenwei.

These tree people still have some of the abilities they had in their previous lives, and are much stronger than ordinary tree people. They easily broke through their lines and were about to rush into the barge to take control of it first.

But they encountered tenacious resistance from the aliens in the army. They chanted magic or used alchemy, and after going through untold hardships, they finally stopped and killed the Nathanwei tree people.

After suffering huge casualties, he led the remaining remnants of his army and retreated into the barge, using the barge as a fortress and engaging in a siege battle with the tree people.

With the protection of the barge, they slowly stabilized the situation.

But what they didn't know was that this was actually done intentionally by the sacred tree.

It did not intend to exterminate this army, but only wanted to drive them out and spread this nightmare experience to prevent people outside the island from getting involved in Nasen Island. (End of this chapter)
