Returning to Laiyata City

The Scarlet Alliance State and the Thousand Islands Alliance faced each other across the sea, forming a sea-separated position from the British Alliance State.

The continent's tectonic plates are relatively low, which has resulted in the formation of thousands of islands of varying sizes.

The island's terrain makes transportation inconvenient, hindering not only development but also the formation of a unified government, resulting in a loose alliance system for governance.

The Speaker of the Thousand Islands Alliance is an honorary position and does not have the power to govern the Alliance States. In case of any issues, he can only consult with the members of parliament of the major clans in each region.

"Abolish the nation!"

Huang Daoxian also contributed to the unification of the Red Scarlet Alliance State Scarlet Alliance State.

He gets a headache whenever he sees loosely organized nations like the Thousand Islands Alliance.

If it weren't for the advantageous location of the Thousand Islands Alliance, such a nation would have been wiped out by a spider swarm of the level of the Aomeijia Alliance.

Correspondingly, such a country yields little benefit, and its fortune is mottled and chaotic, making it difficult to be a place of good fortune.

He kept repeating it throughout the journey, saying that if it weren't for the existence of the Immortal Gem, this place would be of no value to come here.

Zhang Xuezhou ignored Huang Daoxian's ramblings. The Thousand Islands Alliance was not perfect in terms of its national structure and had shortcomings in its Gene Sequence, but its level of modern technology was not bad. It had been involved in the development of technology from many countries and had the world's largest shipyard. It was not entirely useless.

The loose governance of the Thousand Islands Alliance has also allowed some old customs to be preserved and even promoted and developed.

"Kalanduo!"

The Airbus had barely landed at Shuangliu Airport when Zhang Xuezhou spotted the leaders who were clinging to old customs and vested interests.

Since replacing Tuer Kelanduo as the chieftain of the Tuer Clan, Zhang Xuezhou has not seen Tuer Kalanduo for a long time.

The young girl had grown into a mature woman, and it wasn't until she saw Zhang Xuezhou that Tuer Kalanduo hurriedly came running over, carrying the staff that represented the authority of the Tuer Religion.

"Brother-in-law, come quick! We're about to be destroyed!"

Tuer Kalanduo shouted loudly, losing all his composure as someone in a high position after seeing Zhang Xuezhou.

"Why are you going to destroy your country again?"

Zhang Xuezhou grumbled, feeling that the Tur People were destroying their kingdoms rather frequently.

"This time it's a true national annihilation. We were completely unprepared when the British Alliance State invaded, and now we're almost completely overrun," Tuer Kalanduo complained. "There's been absolutely no international response. Grand Speaker Gregory of Aomeijia and Chairman Li Yingbo of the Scarlet Alliance State seem to have ignored our pleas for help!"

"Hello, Committee Member Zhang!"

Accompanying Tuer Kalanduo to greet him was Pasteur, the second-in-command of the British Alliance State, who was currently ostensibly acting as the Lineage of the Nagesi family.

Pasteur greeted everyone politely and was impeccable in his manners.

"The Thousand Islands Alliance is too loosely organized, and things are not going smoothly. His Excellency Nagesi had to take temporary control due to the urgency of the situation, which allowed him to mobilize nearby police forces to investigate the Tuer District, causing a minor friction," Pasteur explained.

"What 'minor skirmish'? Hundreds have been killed!" Tuer Kalanduo exclaimed urgently, "Our Speaker has also been severely injured!"

"In urgent situations, expediency is necessary," Pasteur reiterated. "Ms. Kalanduo, you must trust that Nagesi Excellency Naghes has exercised as much restraint as possible and controlled the situation with minimal cost; otherwise, the death toll would have been far higher!"

With just a few simple words of debate, Zhang Xuezhou had already understood many things.

Seventh Sequence Nagesi can suppress the Thousand Islands Alliance, Eighth Sequence Nagesi means an unstoppable force for the Thousand Islands Alliance's Sequence Holder.

After mobilizing a combat brigade of over a thousand men, Nagesi easily swept through several major regions of the Thousand Islands Alliance, either incorporating or imprisoning numerous powerful Lineage, while some Sequence Holder stubbornly resisted were killed.

This tactic of decapitating elites has always been an important means of modern warfare. Conquering a country no longer requires the sacrifice of lives and a long period of war and bloodshed, as was the case in the past.

Fifteen days may sound short, but it didn't take Zhang Xuezhou long to win over the Aomeijia Alliance. Nagesi is very likely following his approach.

Where is Nagesi?

Zhang Xuezhou didn't get too involved in this conflict. Once Nagesi resolved the issue of inscribing the Immortal Gem, the other side should withdraw from the Thousand Islands Alliance.

"Lord Nagesi is currently keeping watch near Laiyata City," Pasteur said. "He has confirmed the area and believes there are certain risks, which is why he has repeatedly sought help from your country's high-ranking officials!"

"Have you investigated the source of the risk?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"They were probably some underground creatures. We dispatched five teams in, and they've all been confirmed dead!"

Pasteur was somewhat helpless.

The underground is not a good place. The harsh terrain makes it difficult to move around, and the air underground is extremely bad and there is no light. Ordinary people would die if they explored such an area, let alone fight.

This is an exploration area where lives cannot be sacrificed, and only top-tier Sequence Holder can Heaven and Earth.

Let's go!

Having figured out the situation, Zhang Xuezhou did not linger at Shuangliu Airport.

To get to the Tuer District from here, one needs to take an aircraft, which are all requisitioned by various Lineage. This is why Pasteur enforced control over Shuangliu Airport and welcomed them.

"Brother-in-law, why are you all so kind to these fierce-looking guys?"

After riding with Zhang Xuezhou, Tuer Kalanduo couldn't stop muttering to himself.

"The world environment has changed," Zhang Xuezhou said. "Nagesi has also cleared the mines for you Tur People, to prevent a repeat of the Laiyata City incident!"

"Is that strange man and the moth coming again?" Tuer Kalanduo exclaimed.

"There might be some accomplices left, or maybe some big moths were left over, who knows!"

Zhang Xuezhou shook his head, indicating that he was not aware of the situation at the moment.

If the Thousand Islands Alliance is regionally transformed and Qinmeng- Mongolianized, the probability of these creatures that once caused calamities evolving will be very high.

Zhang Xuezhou had to give them a warning, since the moths didn't follow any Tuer Religion rules or rituals, and everyone was treated equally when they reproduced and slaughtered. Even Tuer Kalanduo's abilities couldn't prevent these creatures from being harmed.

After a brief explanation, Tuer Kalanduo's previous indignation subsided. She even realized that Nagesi's politeness towards her was not due to his affability, but rather to her connection with Zhang Xuezhou and others.

Is there anything we can do?

Zhang Xuezhou rarely makes alarmist statements, while Tuer Kalanduo, as a member of the Thousand Islands Alliance, thinks about making preparations for his people when facing risks and crises.

"We should push forward Gene Sequence as much as possible, within our capabilities, so that each region has some manageable Sequence Holder," Zhang Xuezhou pondered. "We also need to consider infrastructure development, such as roads and transportation, to avoid rescue difficulties caused by inconvenient transportation!"

"I just can't do that!"

Zhang Xuezhou offered a brief suggestion, Tuer Kalanduo opened his mouth, only to realize that the matter was beyond his control.

Without sufficient incentives, no one will do anything foolish, and it will be difficult for government orders to be effectively implemented.

Let alone advancing Gene Sequence, even advancing infrastructure construction would be very difficult for her.

Only external forces like disasters can compel many people to change their mindset and thus invest regardless of cost.

"No wonder Nagesi resorts to violence to solve problems!"

Both Tuer Kalanduo and Zhang Xuezhou, who were relatively close, expressed this sentiment and described the various difficulties they faced, implying that others would likely be indifferent and rejecting.

Nagesi, familiar with the Thousand Islands Alliance, did not get bogged down in endless negotiations and discussions, but instead resolved the issue directly using the simplest form of violence.

When Zhang Xuezhou's aircraft landed in the abandoned Laiyata City, he saw that hundreds of elite soldiers from the British Alliance State were stationed in the city center, and more than a thousand people were locked in many abandoned houses, remotely controlling their Lineage to coordinate their actions through communicators.

"Chairman Li, gentlemen, His Excellency Nagesi has captured an underground creature!"

Following the directions, Zhang Xuezhou had walked no more than a hundred paces when he saw Xie Ertong hurrying over.

He held up the display device and showed everyone a photo that had just been transmitted.

The photo shows a creature with a human body and a snake tail, which has been beaten beyond recognition and can only twitch on the ground.

Zhang Xuezhou had recently encountered creatures of this type. He was somewhat horrified when he first saw them, but after a closer look, Zhang Xuezhou discovered that the creatures' heads were covered with long, hair-like venomous snakes, making them clearly different species.
