In the territory of the World Tree Civilization, where the expedition army was gathered.
Densely packed wormholes were maintained in the starry sky, and World Tree Roots extended out from them. An endless fleet shuttled through, constantly expanding the size of the expedition army. There were all kinds of battleships.
Nearby, there was a floating watchtower made of light green roots. The Subduing Tree King and the Heart Tree King stood there and scanned the expeditionary army's lineup.
The Heart Tree King said calmly, "The high-level combatants this time include Three Leaf to Nine Leaf Executive Officers, seven high-level Holy Tree Emissaries, the thirteen Ancestral Spirits ranked second to sixth, the four Army Commanders, and other experts. There are a total of 107 people. This scale is enough to test the opponent's strength and see how developed their individual strength is."
"Not bad." The Subduing Tree King nodded.
More than a hundred World Tree experts participated in the expedition. This wave of lone troops had a low survival rate, but when the Heart Tree King sent out these members, he was already prepared to sacrifice all of them.
Sacrificing did not mean that it would be for nothing. Using high-level combatants to kill was their usual tactic when facing strong enemies. The enemy's high-level combatants would be gone if they died, and their high-level combatants would return to their seed form after dying. They would wait in their main body for a certain period of time before they could wake up again. This was undoubtedly a good deal for the World Tree. They could use a war of attrition to slowly disintegrate the enemy's strength, causing the strength of both sides to decrease.
The World Tree had used this method to defeat one enemy after another, and it had never failed. No one had cracked it, so there was naturally no reason not to use it now.
The Heart Tree King turned to look at the Subduing Tree King and said, "They lack a leader. You'll go with them this time."
"I have to go too? Three Leaf Lynn, Four Leaf Anriin, and a few Army Commanders are enough to lead the troops. There's no need for me to take the risk. "
The Subduing Tree King frowned. He was not too willing to participate in this exchanging expedition. The experience of returning to his seed form was not comfortable, and a Tree King needed more time to recover than the others.
The Heart Tree King shook his head. "The other party's information collection has not been invaded by us. It is very difficult for the mother tree's authority to penetrate the area covered by their information collection. It requires the connection level of the Tree King to allow the mother tree's projection to descend, so you have to go."
"… Okay."
The Subduing Tree King nodded and did not ask why it was not the other Tree Kings.
Among the five Great Tree Kings, only he had no other ability other than fighting. From a pragmatic point of view, sacrificing him was the most cost-effective. He was already used to being the vanguard.
"We might encounter that outsider this time. You'd better receive a baptism before setting off. Otherwise, you might not be his match," Heart Tree King instructed.
"Then I'll go and prepare."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Subduing Tree King disappeared.
…
After receiving the information that the World Tree was preparing to attack, the three Universal Civilizations quickly reacted. The highest-level military orders were passed down level by level like electric signals shuttling through a neural network, controlling the limbs of the 'giant' that was the Universal Civilization. The various armies rushed to the frontlines as though they were clenching their fists to gather their strength.
Every few minutes to a few hours, a batch of fleets would arrive at the interception zone. Other than transferring their direct troops, the three Universal Civilizations also recruited the troops of other advanced civilizations, mobilizing the entire explored universe. As a result, the number of troops in the interception zone increased rapidly, increasing by one billion every day.
Staying near the teleportation point, Han Xiao had seen almost all the main battleships of the various civilizations over the past few days. The three Universal Civilizations' main battleships of all levels, which were rarely seen, were all here. The top main battleships that represented the strongest units were as eye-catching as cranes in a flock of chickens.
At the same time, the three Universal Civilizations' transport troops kept sending over all kinds of Universal Treasures. The equipment used for individual strength was temporarily lent to the many Beyond Grade As, and even the association members could distribute it according to their needs. The other strategic Universal Treasures were given to the different fleets.
On the lookout tower of the temporary base, many Beyond Grade As stood in front of the observation window, looking at the scene outside.
The surroundings had already become a sea of battleships, almost covering the starry sky. As far as their eyes could see, it was as though there were only countless battleships with a metallic luster. If one looked very far away, this scene was like the scales on a giant beast that were gradually opening and closing.
"What a huge army. This is the first time I've seen such a scene."
Many people exclaimed softly.
Usually, the three Universal Civilizations would not mobilize so many troops, and the internal strife would not be so intense. Only the exploration era war could be compared to this.
This was the first time a considerable number of people had experienced a universal war. Seeing this scene, they had a new understanding of the mobilization ability of the three Universal Civilizations.
Although they did not know what the World Tree Army was like, just looking at the army of the three Universal Civilizations, many people's morale was boosted.
"There's not much we can do in a war of this intensity. Our mission is to strangle the high-level combatants of the other side," Kasuyi said with a deep voice.
"The high-level combatants are easy to deal with.
"The enemy has a lot of high-level combatants, so we won't have it easy. With their style, they should be thinking of ways to trade with us," a Beyond Grade A said worriedly.
"As long as you don't leave my healing range, I should be able to guarantee your safety."
Hearing this, Aurora interrupted with a gentle tone.
"We'll rely on you this time."
"Thankfully, you're here."
"Sorry to trouble you."
Many people hurriedly responded politely, their friendliness close to the max.
Through the mechanism of the World Tree, it was not difficult to guess that the other party was good at trading tactics. Everyone present knew very well that in such an intense war, the healer was the only thigh that could increase their survival rate. Many people gathered around Aurora like stars surrounding the moon, as if they were a support group.
Hila, on the other hand, looked on coldly from the side. The contrast was stark.
Manison did not care about the noisy crowd. He went to Han Xiao's side and slowly said, "Black Star, you seem a little nervous. Are you worried that your Indestructible Body won't be able to withstand such an intense battle?"
Han Xiao turned around and sized him up. He then poked Manison's Lord's Avatar's chest and said with annoyance, "If you dare, come in your true body.
"If you have the ability, come here with your original body. Let me see if you're nervous."
"Heh, what a joke. I'm not an anomaly among Mechanics like you. I've never done anything that puts me in danger." Manison snorted.
"Come on, just say it if you're afraid. You still have the face to appear in front of me with your small body."
Han Xiao expressed his disdain.
Manison laughed disdainfully. He paused for a moment before suddenly retracting his smile.
"You should know who the strongest person on the World Tree's side is, right?"
"Hmm, the strongest should be the leader of the five Great Tree Kings, the Ancestral Tree King."
"Then can you deal with him?" Manison was curious.
"This person is unfathomable. I'm not confident either."
Han Xiao shook his head.
Among the five Great Tree Kings, the Subduing Tree King, who was a Pugilist, was at the bottom, and the Ancestral Tree King was the strongest. Even in the intense battle in his previous life, the Ancestral Tree King was an elusive existence. The number of times he attacked could be counted on one hand, as if he was outside of the war. However, the Ancestral Tree King's battle record was very impressive. Those who died in his hands were all peak Beyond Grade As, and none of them were weak. It was as if ordinary opponents were not worth his time.
At the same time, the Ancestral Tree King was the person with the deepest connection to the World Tree. In a sense, he was the only 'master' of the World Tree. Han Xiao was not sure if he could defeat the other party.
"Even you don't have confidence …"
Manison pondered.
Just as Han Xiao was about to say something, his communicator vibrated.
The room immediately fell silent, and everyone's gazes gathered on Han Xiao. They all realized something, and their expressions turned solemn.
Han Xiao narrowed his eyes and took out his communicator to take a look. He paused and took a deep breath.
"They're here."
