In the real-time surveillance footage, the battle line between the three Universal Civilizations' intercepting circle and the World Tree invasion fleet was extremely long, divided into many different war zones. Among them, the three main war zones were the most important. They were all intercepting lines that the World Tree had invested heavily in, and their troops were all in the hundreds of billions.
Under everyone's gazes, a new fleet sailed into the main battlefield. There were not many of them, only a few hundred million, but they emitted extremely condensed energy fluctuations. On the radar, one Beyond Grade A energy source after another was displayed.
As soon as this small fleet entered, it brought about a significant change to the main war zone. A green light spread out, and every World Tree battleship that was swept by it was activated. It lit up with a faint green light and obtained the buff of the Tree King's halo. The stalemate was instantly broken, and the speed at which they pushed the line increased significantly.
"If this line of defense is breached, they will soon be able to touch the wormhole support network behind this war zone. At that time, the situation will become even worse. This place will become a breakthrough point, and a chain reaction will occur, causing the entire line to collapse."
Simon took a look, and his judgment was the same as the artificial intelligence's analysis.
Secret Master crossed his arms and said with a deep voice, "You want us to carry out a decapitation operation and kill this Tree King? The difficulty is too high. Unless he leaves the protection of the fleet, we will be sending ourselves to our deaths. "
Another commander turned to look at Han Xiao. "Black Star, what do you think?"
"Let's wait and see. There's no chance now."
It was rare for Han Xiao to have the same thought. Although he really wanted to kill this unknown Tree King who had suddenly appeared, the other party was under the heavy protection of hundreds of billions of fleets. The feasibility of 'taking off his clothes' was too low.
Furthermore, the previous experience of the Subduing Tree King being killed had been sent back to the World Tree. This time, the Tree King would probably stay in the fleet obediently and not give them a chance.
He had already provided a lot of information and technology, making the three Universal Civilizations' current situation many times better than in his previous life. However, military strength had always been the World Tree's strength. Once they launched a large-scale attack, as long as the three Universal Civilizations did not want to lose their territory, they would have to fight head-on. There were not many shortcuts.
Although the technology trees of both sides were different, they both had the standard destructive strategic technology of higher civilizations. For example, there were many space-type and dimension-type weapons. They both knew how to crack and counter each other. Most of the fancy and fancy technologies were useless against each other and could only be used to oppress the weak. Only a small number of unique technologies could not be cracked.
The advantage of a Beyond Grade A was that their mobility and strength were concentrated in their individual bodies. Their strength was guerrilla warfare and breaking through the surface with a single point. However, in such a huge galactic battlefield, guerrilla warfare was not suitable, and sudden attacks were very dangerous. The effect of a single body was limited.
Generally speaking, the number of enemies did not mean much to the Beyond Grade As. Regardless of whether it was tens of millions or hundreds of billions of fleets, as long as they did not complete the encirclement, it would be very easy for the Beyond Grade As to escape. However, due to strategic reasons, many Beyond Grade As had no choice but to hold the line here. This was not the strength of individual strength. The time it took to exhaust and destroy tens of thousands of battleships was enough for the tens of billions of fleets to launch many rounds of attacks.
However, this was something that Universal Civilizations would only use when facing external enemies. If it was used during a civil war, there would be a new desolate universe belt.
"Send more reinforcements." Simon also knew that the risk was too high, so he did not ask a group of Beyond Grade As to carry out this mission. He only sent more troops to fill this war zone.
The World Tree Civilization kept sending reinforcements, and the three Universal Civilizations did the same. This was also the reason why the interception circle could last for a month. Otherwise, it would have been broken by the second reinforcements of the World Tree.
As the space anchor orbit had been cleared, the World Tree's jump point was close to the periphery of the interception circle, and the support distance was shortened. Therefore, the reinforcements could be quickly sent into the battlefield.
However, just as Simon gave the order, an unforeseen event happened.
The reinforcements did not stay in the main formation but advanced to the crossfire area. One after another, the World Tree experts flew out and surrounded a tall and thin figure. The Tree King Halo on his body revealed his identity.
This group of Beyond Grade As cruised back and forth on the frontline, retreating from time to time. In terms of team battles, they were extremely close to the front.
"Hmm?"
In the interception circle, everyone's eyes changed slightly.
Han Xiao narrowed his eyes. "This guy wants to lure our high-level combatants out. Old Yang is scheming."
Everyone nodded. They naturally understood that the Tree King and a group of high-level combatants had appeared not because they wanted to be reckless, but because they were not satisfied with exhausting the three Universal Civilizations' forces.
If the three Universal Civilizations tried to use their troops to surround and kill them, the Tree King and the others would definitely retreat to the main formation. Only by sending out high-level combatants would the Tree King and the others stay to fight and carry out the tried and tested exchange tactic. Their goal was to exhaust the experts of the three Universal Civilizations.
If they did not care about him, he would continue to provide the halo, increasing the pressure on this war zone and opening a breakthrough in the battle. There was no loss.
It was like exposing one's butt to lure others, taking the initiative to give them a chance. If they did not go up and attack, they would be useless.
"Humph, looks like they're very confident." Reeve clenched his fists, eager to give it a try. She had never fought a World Tree expert before.
Manison said calmly, "Be careful. They know that we have recovery-type Espers who can greatly reduce the battle losses, but they still used the Tree King as a bait to try to exchange. Maybe they have already thought of a way to deal with our recovery-type Espers."
"We can't rule out the possibility that they feel that exchanging hundreds of people for a few of us is a profit," Sun Hunter said.
"How about it? Are we going up?"
Kasuyi turned to look at Han Xiao, and everyone else also looked over.
Han Xiao did not answer immediately. He stared at the Tree King on the screen, who was surrounded by many experts.
After experiencing the war in his previous life, he naturally recognized the appearance of every Tree King, and the information of this person flashed through his mind.
'Heart Tree King Minachor, a Psychic among the five Tree Kings. He has many methods. Although his strength is not much different from the Subduing Tree King, he is twice as difficult to deal with as the Subduing Tree King. In my previous life, he heavily injured Kasuyi and Oathkeeper respectively and controlled no less than four Beyond Grade As. Other than being killed in the final battle, there are no other records of him dying. The most common methods he uses are Psychic Teleportation, Mind Tampering, Spirit Tide …'
The mental methods of Psychics were strange, and Han Xiao felt that it was troublesome. The greatest threat was the ability to instigate defection. Altering the thoughts of a Beyond Grade A was extremely difficult, and it was not something that could be done in a short period of time. There was a high chance that the other party would not have the time to complete it in the fierce battle, but the slightest risk could not be ignored.
Han Xiao turned around and took in the expressions of the commanders. He slowly exhaled and said with a deep voice, "If there's a chance, there's a chance.
"Since there's a chance, let's give it a try. If we can kill this Tree King, the situation in this war zone will improve a lot. This is one of the few things we can do now."
Han Xiao had another thought. The threat of the Heart Tree King was especially great. If he could stay here, the subsequent battles would be much easier.
Hearing this, the group nodded and had no objections. The Beyond Grade As who chose to participate in the battle walked out one after another.
On the way to the Multi-Dimensional Sky Opening Transportation Device, Han Xiao was a few steps behind. He came to Aurora's side and opened the private communication.
"Be careful later. I suspect that Tree King will use his mental ability to attack you through space. Even if some of your life energy leaks out this time, you'd rather watch some of your companions die than approach the battlefield. Remember to keep Sorokin by your side at all times. Although he's a stinky little brother, he can at least block a few mental attacks for you."
"Got it." Aurora nodded obediently.
…
On the other side, in the main war zone enveloped by the Tree King's halo.
Heart Tree King calmly led a group of revived World Tree experts around the battlefield. With so many Beyond Grade As gathered together, it was naturally very eye-catching. Wherever they passed, batches of the three Universal Civilizations' fleets would focus fire on them.
However, the nearby World Tree fleet kept using their shields to block rounds of attacks for Heart Tree King. Therefore, Heart Tree King and the others looked like they were taking a stroll on an intense battlefield.
"Is the enemy still not sending their high-level combatants?"
Heart Tree King looked at the three Universal Civilizations' defense line frequently. He was not in a hurry at all. Anyway, he had the initiative and was very patient.
As soon as he said that, Fortitude Tree King's voice sounded in the mental network.
"Humph, I think you should come back. They probably won't dare to make a move. Don't waste my time there. I want to return to the mother tree."
"Bear with it."
Heart Tree King was helpless.
In order to descend, Fortitude Tree King had no choice but to appear in his hometown. It did not take long for him to become extremely lazy.
At this moment, Fortitude Tree King was still on standby and did not activate his ability. They only had the body of the Lord's Avatar in their hands. This was Heart Tree King's request. He had hidden his trump card and was prepared to summon Fortitude Tree King at the right time.
He wanted to say something, but the next moment, Beyond Grade A energy suddenly appeared in his senses.
Heart Tree King and the many World Tree experts looked in the direction of the energy source. They saw a group of Beyond Grade As flying out from the three Universal Civilizations' fleet and crossing the battlefield to attack them. The leader was the outsider who had left a deep impression on them.
"They really came … There seem to be more people than last time. It seems like they are the same as us. Their high-level combatants are still holding back."
Heart Tree King's eyes flickered. When he saw the revivors participating in this battle, he immediately thought that they were the experts hidden by the three Universal Civilizations. As for Garoze and the others who had died in the previous battle, they did not join the battle because they were worried about their lives. They did not appear, so he naturally could not see them.
"Go! Try to cause as much damage as possible and force their recovery-type Esper out. "
As this thought flashed through his mind, Heart Tree King did not show any weakness. He took the lead and charged forward, followed by the World Tree experts like meteors.
The Beyond Grade A troops of both sides passed through the battlefield and collided without any communication. They instantly charged into the other party's formation and threw each other off their feet. A chaotic battle broke out in an instant.
Last time, the three Universal Civilizations had no choice but to surround and attack a portion of the peak Beyond Grade As. This time, this portion of the World Tree experts was stopped by the Revivors who were also at the peak Beyond Grade A level. Reeve, Hilbert, and the others found the Executive Officers, the high-level Holy Tree Emissaries, and the members of the thirteen Ancestral Spirits to fight against the strong enemies.
The number of experts sent out by the World Tree this time was about the same as the last time. They were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, and as soon as they started fighting, they were suppressed by the Beyond Grade As of the three Universal Civilizations.
Han Xiao turned into a Mechanical Deity and found Heart Tree King. Energy shockwaves and psychic shockwaves kept exploding between the two of them, and the energy reaction was like blue and white soap bubbles that kept forming and popping.
Heart Tree King's combat style was completely different from Subduing Tree King's. As a Psychic, he did not like to fight head-on. He relied on his strange methods to move around nimbly, releasing large AoE attacks from time to time. He also converted his psychic energy into physical psychic energy, forming layers of shields to block the torrential attacks of the Mechanical Deity.
Swoosh!
Psionic energy vibrated, and a huge mechanical blade slashed across. Heart Tree King seemed to have seen through it. He nimbly dodged and used psychic energy to pull his body away, dodging the slash that contained Getta's Hadoken.
The blade light that shot out was like a dark blue waterfall that swept across the battlefield. From near to far, hundreds of battleships exploded into fireworks one after another.
"Outsider, this is the first time we've met, right? The last time you came to our territory and caused a ruckus. I haven't fought you yet."
Heart Tree King dodged the close-range attacks of the Mechanical Deity and the mechanical army while sending a mental message to Han Xiao.
Han Xiao did not answer. He raised his hand and shot out a few dark red splitting rays. Heart Tree King's figure flashed, and he dodged a distance away as if he had teleported. The splitting rays only shattered the afterimage he left behind.
This guy is so slippery …
Han Xiao clicked his tongue in his mind.
Heart Tree King's psychic techniques were very exquisite. He used psychic energy to pull and control his body, and he was very agile. At the same time, he kept releasing mental interference to mislead the direction of his attacks and reduce his hit rate. Even when facing the rain of light shot by the mechanical army, Heart Tree King could still dodge with ease, as if he had seen through all the attack trajectories in advance.
Compared to Kasuyi's wide attack style that ignored mana, Heart Tree King's combat style was the exact opposite. It was very delicate, and it always focused on harassment and nibbling away at the enemy. He flew around the enemy like a mosquito, occasionally using mental attacks to stab the enemy before immediately retreating. It was very difficult for the enemy to hit him. His fighting style was very dirty and annoying.
"Pugilists are still the best. They like to fight head-on. It's so easy …"
Han Xiao could not help but miss the Subduing Tree King.
However, although Heart Tree King was very agile, he had no choice but to focus on dealing with Han Xiao's attacks. Both of them restrained each other.
While the two of them were entangled, in the battlefield not far away, a direct Beyond Grade A fought very fiercely. He exchanged injuries with the Holy Tree Emissary and was severely injured. The next moment, a few dazzling life energy beams suddenly shot out from the three Universal Civilizations' fleet. They were very far away and headed straight for their teammates.
The Holy Tree Emissary, who was already prepared, endured the pain and shot out spells to intercept the life energy. Half of it was scattered by his spells, but the remaining life energy suddenly changed its route, drawing a strange distorted trajectory and hitting the target that was about to heal. The life force of this direct Beyond Grade A quickly recovered.
"It hit!" Aurora, who was waiting in the protective circle of the fleet, was overjoyed.
She had not stayed for nothing for the past half a year. She had been training her control over the life energy that had left her body every day in order to avoid the enemy's interception and heal the target.
On the other side, Heart Tree King could not help but divert some of his attention and look in Aurora's direction.
"Found her …"
Before he could finish his thought, a few splitting rays arrived in front of him. He was slightly distracted and was a step slower in dodging, leaving several scorching marks on his body.
Heart Tree King hurriedly retracted his attention and covered his wounds to avoid the continuous pursuit of the mechanical army. He narrowed his eyes.
"I really can't be distracted when dealing with this guy. Fortunately, someone can stop him for a while and free me up …"
The next second, Heart Tree King suddenly retreated. Seeing this, Han Xiao immediately chased after him.
The two of them chased after each other, and the battlefield shifted a large distance away. At this moment, a powerful Beyond Grade A energy suddenly rose from a World Tree battleship.
The spaceship suddenly exploded, and a new dark green Mechanical Deity seemed to have broken out of its shell. Its body rapidly expanded, and it held a two-headed, wide-faced mechanical blade that was covered in energy circuits. It slashed over with astonishing psionic energy, and at the same time, green armored mechanical soldiers swarmed out and bit Han Xiao's mechanical army.
"This energy … It's another Tree King!"
Han Xiao raised his brows and immediately raised his blade to meet the attack. Two huge Mechanical Deity weapons, one black and one green, clashed.
Clang!
The heavy sound of metal colliding sounded in everyone's hearts, and a dazzling electric arc wheel burst out in an instant. A huge energy shockwave swept away everything around it.
"Humph, outsider, I'll be your opponent." Fortitude Tree King's voice sounded in the public channel.
"Which one are you?"
Han Xiao looked at the combat information and raised his brows in surprise.
This Tree King was not one of the five Tree Kings he knew in his previous life!
Shouldn't the Tree King of the Mechanic class be the Emperor Tree King? Where did this Fortitude Tree King come from?
Just as he was shocked, Heart Tree King took advantage of the fact that Fortitude Tree King was blocking his opponent and suddenly left the battlefield. He used his mind to lock onto Aurora's life aura from afar.
Then, he opened his arms, and a diamond-like purple leaf appeared from his chest. It spun and emitted a strange fluctuation.
The next moment, Heart Tree King's mental energy burst out.
"Illusion, Heart Lock!"
