Ten minutes later, in the command room.
Simon and the other supreme commanders, as well as the commanders of the various armies, gathered to analyze the enemy's situation. Many Beyond Grade As listened from the side, and only Han Xiao participated in the discussion.
"The enemy's location has been exposed. They have built a temporary base in this area far away and sent out many scouts to advance. They have increased the teleportation coordinates they can choose to teleport and shorten the distance. I estimate that when they encounter the intercepting troops, the main force will jump over …"
The tactical star map was displayed on the virtual screen with many coordinates marked. Simon would zoom in and out of the map from time to time to match his explanation, and everyone listened attentively.
The main force of the World Tree Civilization had already gathered in their own territory, but they did not move out immediately. Instead, they sent out scouts to build a temporary stronghold and get closer to the intercepting circle to obtain closer coordinates as jump points, shortening the distance of normal navigation.
This was because once the main force arrived at the war zone, they would not be able to hide and could only travel normally. There was a high chance that they would encounter the over-the-horizon firepower of the three Universal Civilizations along the way. If the teleportation point was too far away from the intercepting circle, the losses would increase. Therefore, they had to shorten the distance as much as possible. Although the World Tree Civilization was not afraid of battle losses, they did not want to bathe in artillery fire.
Han Xiao had obtained this information from Destiny's Child and shared it with the three Universal Civilizations. Thus, this battle meeting was held.
"The enemy's mobilization ability is astonishing. They came very quickly and did not give us much time to gather. Although we have more troops, our advantage is not great. This battle will not be easy to fight," another supreme commander said.
"Currently, our greatest advantage is the home field advantage and depth. We have already set up many traps, ambush areas, and over-the-horizon strike zones in advance. If the enemy's main force is delayed for more than seven days from the jump point to the intercepting circle, we estimate that we can reduce the enemy fleet by two to seven billion … However, the prerequisite is that the information we stole is accurate enough. The enemy's battleship technology is not different from ours, so they won't take out any black technology," the upper echelon officer in charge of coordinating the construction of the defense line said.
As they spoke, everyone turned to look at Han Xiao. Most of the information about the World Tree was provided by Han Xiao. Currently, they could only rely on Han Xiao in terms of intelligence. His contribution was countless times more than all of them.
"There's no problem with the information." Han Xiao nodded.
Although the World Tree Civilization was strong and had a bunch of black technologies, their battleship technology did not have much of an advantage. The technology content of their main battleship model was about the same as the three Universal Civilizations', and there was no generation difference in their performance. This had been shown when they participated in the war in Han Xiao's previous life, so the three Universal Civilizations did not collapse and withstood the pressure.
Simon clapped his hands. "The situation is clear now. Next, I will assign you your tasks …"
He quickly assigned the missions according to the plan, and soon, it was the turn of the many Beyond Grade As.
Looking at everyone, Simon said in a deep voice,
"You don't need to participate in the early stages of the firepower coverage and harassment battle. All of you will remain on standby at the base and wait for the battle. Also, Mechanics, don't just sit around. Provide technical support at the virtual network level."
"Alright."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
In a universe-level battle with tens of billions of battleships, their numbers were like a drop in the bucket to the enemy's fleet. Fighting against an entire fleet as individuals was far more risky than beneficial, so this mission did not require the participation of high-level combatants.
The battle meeting was short and concise, and the results were out very quickly. Not long after, the official army announcement was sent out, and the war machine was quickly activated.
The commanders followed the orders, and the fleets sailed out of the port one after another, turning into streams of light and disappearing into the universe.
The players who were on standby in the various fleets received a few main storyline war missions that they had been longing for, and the forums were once again filled with discussions.
Han Xiao had also triggered these missions. After browsing through them carefully, he realized that the situation was roughly the same as the main storyline missions of the World Tree War in his previous life. They were all about killing the enemy for Contribution Points and Contribution Points for Rewards, but there was a slight difference in the description of the mission.
In his previous life, most of the words used were 'resist' and 'block', but now, the description of the mission was more positive, and the relevant missions were adjusted according to the butterfly effect.
For example, this intercepting battle that did not exist in his previous life had formed a branch mission. If he could complete the strategic goal of stopping the enemy, not only would he obtain high rewards, but it would also have a positive impact on the overall battle situation. This was also a characteristic of the World Tree Main Storyline. Every local battle would form a branch mission, and the results of the battle would dynamically affect the overall strategy.
In his previous life, the players had decent combat strength in the later versions, and sometimes, they could influence some local battles. However, in a battle of this scale, the outcome was not up to them. They could only try their best to open up a breakthrough and create opportunities for the main force. This was also the role that the players often played in battles in his previous life.
The rewards of this kind of main storyline mission were mainly EXP. To Han Xiao, it was a drop in the bucket, but to the players, it was extremely rich. If they could obtain the victory reward of the intercepting battle branch mission, their EXP per capita would increase by a large amount.
As a terminal for harvesting EXP, the players were like a reservoir to Han Xiao. The players did missions and worked to create wealth (EXP), and then a portion of the wealth flowed to him through consumption and other means, helping him develop. Without leeks shining brightly, how could he maintain the super combat strength increase over the years?
Therefore, this kind of large-scale collective mission had always been Han Xiao's favorite. Be it for strategic considerations or the goal of harvesting EXP, he wanted to do his best to win this battle and speed up the accumulation of EXP.
As Han Xiao and the other Beyond Grade As did not participate in the harassment battle at the frontline, they only watched the frontline battle reports in the base every day and monitored the overall situation.
The three Universal Civilizations first eliminated and intercepted the scouts. Not long after, the World Tree finally chose the nearest jump point, and the expeditionary army officially arrived, heading toward the intercepting circle. The large army was attacked by over-the-horizon firepower along the way, and they passed through many trap areas, resulting in some losses. However, even though they were frequently harassed by the three Universal Civilizations, the distance between the large army and the intercepting circle was still shrinking every day, getting closer and closer.
The situation developed step by step, and the World Tree expeditionary army finally came into contact with the intercepting circle. The armies of the three Universal Civilizations were on alert, and the large armies of the two sides finally broke out in a direct confrontation. Many Beyond Grade As were summoned.
…
The light of the Multi-Dimensional Sky Opening Transportation Device filled their vision. The next moment, Han Xiao and the other Beyond Grade As were teleported to the main command ship at the back of the battlefield.
"You're finally here."
Simon nodded to the crowd in greeting.
"How's the situation now?"
Han Xiao asked as he turned to look out the window like everyone else.
What entered his eyes was a magnificent battlefield that stretched as far as the eye could see. Hundreds of billions of battleships were engaged in a chaotic battle on both sides, and their formations were intertwined. It was as if endless battleships were weaving an impenetrable net of light. In such a large-scale battle, it was extremely difficult to coordinate. The basic command was based on the various formations, and they were divided into different battle zones. The special technologies and Universal Treasures of both sides took turns to be used, and all kinds of strange phenomena occurred in different areas. More than 100,000 battleships exploded into fireworks every second.
Naturally, the two sides would not set up a formation and attack again. The war had started the moment the harassment troops fired the first shot. The World Tree expeditionary army fought with the three Universal Civilizations all the way from the jump point to the intercepting circle, not stopping for a moment. Now, it was only from a harassment battle to a direct battle. There was no chance for them to stop temporarily and give the other party a chance to adjust.
Seeing this scene of a Universe-level battle, many Beyond Grade As were shocked and gasped. The temperature in the room dropped by a few degrees.
Looking at such an intense battle, many Beyond Grade As could not help but feel a headache. They felt that they did not know where to start.
In such an intense fleet battle, a Beyond Grade A individual was just a drop in the ocean, and their lives were in danger at any time.
Only on the battlefield of two Universe-level overlords could one deeply understand that most of the internal conflicts in the past were small skirmishes. This was the highest level of war.
Ignoring everyone's thoughts, Simon replied with a deep voice, "We're still evenly matched at the moment. The direction of the situation is still unknown. The other party's high-level combatants have yet to make a move."
Han Xiao retracted his gaze and said, "Are the World Tree experts still watching? We don't have to participate in the main battlefield, right?"
"No need. Other than the Mechanics providing Virtual Technology support, the mission of the rest of you is to deal with the high-level combatants of the World Tree. Don't worry about anything else for now." Simon shook his head.
Individual strength was rarely in charge of frontal combat in large-scale battles. Most of them used a series of tactics such as charging, attacking, guarding the main ship, and so on. The commander basically would not let the high-level combatants take the risk to waste their energy on the main battlefield. After all, the energy and stamina of a normal Beyond Grade A were limited.
Only Mechanics who grasped Virtual Technology could play a huge tactical role in a large-scale galactic battlefield. They could continuously invade the enemy's network and seize control of the battleships. Their role was far greater than that of the other four Supers.
"Alright." Han Xiao had no objections.
In such a battlefield, they only needed to take care of their own responsibilities. Controlling the overall situation was the responsibility of the commander, not the job of Beyond Grade As like them.
At this moment, the real-time battlefield star map changed. More than a hundred high-energy sources suddenly appeared in one of the battle zones. The three Universal Civilizations' fleets in that area instantly suffered large-scale casualties, and many war main ships exploded. The situation quickly became one-sided.
"The World Tree sent out high-level combatants?" Simon's eyes narrowed, and he turned around to look at the surveillance footage. He saw World Tree experts of different appearances charging forward, and all kinds of abilities took away the three Universal Civilizations' fleets one after another, opening up the situation in this battle zone.
Han Xiao identified the enemies and locked his gaze on the Subduing Tree King. He narrowed his eyes and was a little surprised.
He had thought that the Tree King would not participate in such a battle, but he did not expect the Subduing Tree King to come.
However, considering that the other party was a Pugilist who specialized in charging and breaking through the enemy lines, it seemed reasonable for him to be a suicide squad … After all, this was the only specialization a Pugilist had.
At this moment, Simon retracted his gaze, scanned everyone, and nodded.
"Everyone, I'll leave it to you."
As soon as he said that, the direct Beyond Grade As of the three Universal Civilizations did not hesitate and headed toward the cabin door. The expressions of the other Beyond Grade As froze, but they did not say anything. They shook their heads and followed.
Since they had chosen to come here, even if the battlefield was dangerous, they could not escape.
Very soon, the Beyond Grade As left the spaceship one after another and flew at high speed on the battlefield. They moved along their formation and quickly arrived at the battle zone.
Even though they were still far away, the auras of the two individuals resonated with each other and locked onto each other as they approached each other.
Han Xiao's gaze locked onto the Subduing Tree King from afar, and the Subduing Tree King also sensed it. He stared at Han Xiao, and his Pugilist flames continued to rise.
"Leave that Tree King to me. You guys deal with the rest," Han Xiao said in the channel.
"Understood."
The association members responded one after another, and the direct Beyond Grade As distanced themselves a little, using their actions to express the same attitude.
The Arcane Church did not let Wuornos participate in the battle. Black Star was currently the strongest combatant of the three Universal Civilizations' army, and he was facing the strongest enemy. The others naturally had no objections.
As Han Xiao charged forward, he activated all kinds of skills. His gaze never left the Subduing Tree King. Their gazes seemed to be emitting sparks from afar.
"I can't touch you in your territory. This time, I have teammates too. What I didn't finish last time can be settled now!"
A cold glint flashed across Han Xiao's eyes. Mechanical Force was flung out, and the mechanical soldiers in his body were released. They followed behind him and transformed along the way, sticking to his body. The precise mechanical armor quickly covered his face that was filled with killing intent.
In the endless sea of fleets, two groups of people dragged their dazzling tails and rapidly approached each other. Then, two streams of light suddenly collided, and a chaotic battle broke out!
