Chapter 221 Behemoth Arrives on the Island
At the same time, a helicopter carrying a huge container slowly landed on an open space somewhere on Nason Island.
As the helicopter landed, the usually quiet island suddenly became lively.
The soldiers on the island began to get busy. They were fully armed and quickly rushed to their designated locations.
Another group of soldiers was responsible for moving supplies from containers. Boxes of ammunition, food, and medical equipment were placed in an orderly manner on the open space.
It was obvious that Behemoth's people were prepared for a long battle.
Not only do they want to win this game, but they also want to take complete control of Nasen Island.
The plane circled overhead like a giant eye, watching every movement on the island.
Anthony stood on a high place, his eyes fixed sharply on the direction of the palace. However, when he asked King Nathan whether to shoot down the plane, he received a negative instruction.
King Nathan's voice rang out in the headset, "Don't act rashly, let them leave."
Although Anthony was unwilling, he had no choice but to obey orders.
On the other side, Ye Qing and his group found a high ground with a wide view. They sat in a circle and took a short rest.
Zhang Chulan took this opportunity to quietly express his position to Lu Lin.
"Brother Lin, if you want to do something, I will definitely accompany you to the end. However, have you really thought it through? What is the probability of success?" Zhang Chulan asked in a low voice, with a hint of worry in his eyes.
Lu Lin patted Zhang Chulan's shoulder gently. "There's a possibility it could work. I can't say how high the probability is, but it's there. Linglong and I are just taking a gamble, just this one."
"Bet? Bet on that old man Li Muxuan?" Zhang Chulan was slightly stunned and turned his gaze to Li Muxuan who was resting with his eyes closed and Lu Linglong who looked serious not far away.
Lu Lin nodded. "Yes, we are betting that he is a ruthless person who doesn't play by the rules."
At this moment, Lu Linglong finally couldn't suppress her doubts anymore and asked Li Muxuan her own question: "Senior Li, if we want to protect Nathan and your granddaughter, don't we have to go to the royal city?"
Li Muxuan slowly opened his eyes. "No, the king doesn't like you and doesn't want you to get close to the royal city. Let's just wait here for a big chaos to come. When the time comes, I'll kill every Behemoth I see."
Zhang Chulan's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and beads of sweat formed on his forehead. He forced himself to remain calm and pleaded with Li Muxuan, "Senior Li, could you please give us something to hide our faces? This...if someone from Behemoth recognizes us, it'll be troublesome."
The helicopter roared and landed in the square, stirring up a cloud of dust and wind.
The hatch slowly opened, and three people walked out: two soldiers in Behemoth uniforms, and a handsome young man named Jarrett.
As soon as Jarrett got off the plane, he waved to everyone with a smile on his face: "I am so honored. It is a great honor to be greeted by the king personally."
However, he was not greeted with enthusiastic applause, but with the stern expression of King Nathan and the wary gazes of Elijah and Mochizuki Satoru. King Nathan immediately recognized them as Behemoth's men and immediately made his position clear: "Go back, you are not welcome here."
Jarrett, however, didn't seem to mind King Nathan's indifference and continued smiling. "During the succession ceremony, outsiders are allowed to land on the island. I remember this was a Nathan tradition. Also, the harsh environment that always shrouded Nathan is gone. I rarely see such a peaceful sea. It's truly magical."
King Nathan's eyes grew even colder, and he responded with a hint of meaning: "That is also the tradition you forced upon us."
Jarrett wasn't angry. Instead, he took over King Nathan's words with a hint of provocation in his tone: "Does this also mean that traditions can be changed? Respected King and people of Nathan, I believe you have a deep misunderstanding of our coming. Our purpose is simple: to stop this barbaric and bloody ritual. We will bring you unprecedented prosperity and civilization."
King Nathan sneered, "Prosperity and civilization? What you call civilization is trampling on other people's traditions and depriving them of their freedom?"
Jarrett shook his head, as if he had anticipated King Nathan's reaction. "No, Your Majesty, you misunderstood us. We do not intend to trample on anyone's traditions, nor do we intend to deprive anyone of their freedom. We simply hope that Nathan can break free from his isolation, embrace the world, and share the fruits of civilization with us."
Elijah, listening from the side, was seething with rage. He couldn't help but speak, "You Behemoths have always considered yourselves the strongest. When have you ever cared about the traditions and freedoms of others? You only know how to conquer and plunder by force."
Jarrett smiled faintly, seemingly unconcerned with Elijah's accusations. "Mr. Elijah, that's too one-sided. We Behemoths are indeed powerful, but we do not abuse force. We believe that through peaceful means, we can reach a consensus with Nathan and create a better future together."
However, King Nathan did not want to waste any more words with Jarrett.
King Nathan looked directly at Jarrett, his tone tinged with sarcasm. "Stop? Do you need to stop me? Even if I deliberately let my guard down, nothing happened. Since the golden bough was broken, there's been nothing but that botched performance. I'm truly curious, is there someone who truly wants to assassinate me and become the new king? If I'm killed and a new king is born, will you all return obediently?"
Jarrett's expression changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal. He tried to explain, "Wang, you may have misunderstood us. This is not our intention."
King Nathan curled his lips into a cold smile, his expression becoming increasingly serious. "I'm afraid you're the ones who least want this ceremony to end. You Behemoths always try to impose your will on others."
Jarrett shook his head. "I've told you before, you have a deep misunderstanding of us. King, believe me, we only intend to help you better manage Nathan. The absolute king here is still you."
As he spoke, Jarrett and two soldiers slowly advanced, attempting to get closer to King Nathan. However, King Nathan suddenly waved his hand and shouted, "Stop! Don't get any closer to the royal city!"
Jarrett paused, but he didn't give up. Instead, he continued to persuade, "King, it doesn't matter if I stop, but the pace of civilization will not stop. Nathan also needs to move forward and keep pace with the world."
