While Han Xiao was deep in thought, both sides had already withdrawn from the battlefield, but the fleets were still exchanging fire. Dense particle beams crisscrossed, shattering the shields of countless battleships and tearing apart their armor. All kinds of large war weapons took turns to attack, and the border defense circle blocked the World Tree vanguard outside the territory with extremely strong firepower.
After repelling the World Tree experts, the Beyond Grade As temporarily retreated to the Sibert Fortress to recuperate. They happily returned to the lounge and greeted Han Xiao, who was watching the battle.
"Well done, thank you for your hard work. This is a great victory!"
Han Xiao nodded and praised.
"Haha, I used to think that the World Tree experts were quite difficult to deal with, but now, I feel that they're just so-so." Sun Hunter jumped onto the table and laughed like a hero.
"Of course, you haven't wasted the past ten years. I've seen all of your improvements." Han Xiao smiled.
Hearing this, everyone could not help but smile. They were clearly in a good mood.
When they fought with the enemy again, everyone felt much more relaxed. The enemy's growth was limited, but their own improvement was huge. This was undoubtedly the result of His Excellency Black Star's ten years of special training.
The many Beyond Grade As deeply experienced the growth brought about by the special training, and their gratitude toward Han Xiao grew even deeper. At this moment, everyone looked at Han Xiao with admiration and respect in their eyes.
More than ten years ago, the World Tree experts had given them a lot of psychological pressure, and they felt that it was very difficult to deal with them a few times. However, with Black Star as their backing, they no longer had any psychological trauma.
After more than ten years of fermentation, Han Xiao had already obtained more respect. Because of the fundamental difference between a Transcendent and a Beyond Grade A, he had subtly changed the attitude of many Beyond Grade As toward him. Now, the Beyond Grade As' impression of him was a little like the respect and support of a Calamity Grade toward a Beyond Grade A. The concept of superior and subordinate was even more deeply rooted in their hearts, and most Beyond Grade As had already accepted the change in their relationship.
"It's all thanks to Aurora that we were able to achieve this great victory," Beyoni said with a tone full of admiration.
Hearing this, everyone did not follow the procedure and directly started licking him.
There were no casualties in this victory, and they defeated the World Tree experts without any losses. This was naturally due to Aurora. Her healing ability was even stronger and more accurate than ten years ago. Many Beyond Grade As were even more eager to hug her thighs.
"It's alright. I just did my duty."
Aurora expressed her usual modesty, expressing her awe at winning the MVP award. At the same time, she secretly glanced at Han Xiao, secretly anticipating Han Xiao's praise.
Han Xiao did not see her gaze and interrupted with a smile, "Speaking of contributions, EsGod killing … ahem, forcing the Subduing Tree King to death is also a great contribution."
Everyone was slightly stunned. They turned to look at the calm EsGod with different expressions.
Although EsGod had made great contributions, EsGod had conflicts with many of the people present. Now that they were fighting side by side, everyone had mixed feelings about him.
EsGod glanced at Han Xiao and said, "If the Subduing Tree King wasn't afraid of your ambush, he wouldn't have self-destructed so easily. The Tree King does live up to his reputation. He's not that easy to deal with."
Hmm … Although you're humble, when I think of the scene of you playing with the Subduing Tree King, I feel that you're just showing off …
Han Xiao cursed inwardly and waved his hand. "Then you also contributed."
EsGod smiled faintly and did not reply.
What was the use of contributions? He would not be allowed to revive. He did not care if he contributed or not. It was just a mission from the Underworld.
This time, Kasuyi stroked his chin and said, "It's a pity that the Subduing Tree King self-destructed too decisively, causing the enemy to retreat in time. We were unable to cause more casualties to the enemy. At the very most, we only killed about ten enemy Beyond Grade As. Among them, only the Subduing Tree King has some weight."
"This isn't a big problem. From another perspective, this might be a good thing." Han Xiao waved his hand and smiled. "Think about it. The Subduing Tree King is dead, and the person in charge of the overall situation will have to be replaced. If we heavily injure their Beyond Grade As this time, even if the Tree King wants to go out, he probably won't have enough strength … Now that we've left a relatively complete high-level combatant for the World Tree, the new Tree King will have the chips to attack again in the short term."
"You can explain it that way?" Kasuyi was surprised.
"What's so strange about that? My goal is to seal a Tree King with enough strength. If they shrink back, how can we attack? I can't wait for you guys to not heavily injure the enemy this time. This is called casting a long line to catch a big fish. Killing one Subduing Tree King is enough."
Han Xiao nodded.
Hearing this, one of the revivors smiled and said, "Haha, it's a good thing we didn't participate in the battle this time. Otherwise, we would have ruined your plan."
"Of course, we can't just let the enemy test us a little and reveal our trump cards. Next time, we'll catch them off guard."
Han Xiao smiled.
The revivors and some of the new Beyond Grade As originally felt that it was a pity that they did not take action this time, but now, they were relieved and focused on the overall situation.
After gathering together to analyze the results of the battle, everyone dispersed in twos and threes and did their own things. From time to time, they would look up at the live broadcast of the battle. Now that they had the upper hand, there was basically no need for them to take action again.
Han Xiao chatted with Ames casually while browsing the deployment of the Galactic Alliance Army. Suddenly, he felt someone squeeze beside him. Jotina walked over, sat down beside him, and leaned over.
Han Xiao turned around and saw Jotina staring at him with burning eyes, as if she wanted to swallow him alive.
"What are you doing now?" Han Xiao raised his brows.
"I want to stay by your side." Jotina licked her lips.
"Then sit down obediently and don't come over."
Han Xiao was speechless.
He knew that Jotina had always been lusting after his body and had already rejected him many times, but she still persevered and pestered him like a dog skin plaster.
In the past, the gap between the two of them was too big, so Jotina would still restrain herself. However, ever since she advanced to the Beyond Grade A realm, she became more and more unrestrained, especially when everyone was on standby at the frontline.
"No, I want to rely on you." Jotina did not hide it at all and boldly hugged his arm.
Han Xiao had no choice but to withdraw his arm. However, Jotina took the opportunity to lean her head on his chest and wrap her arms around his waist.
"Don't you think the occasion is wrong? Can you pay attention to your image?"
Han Xiao's mouth twitched. No matter what, Jotina was a Beyond Grade A who was willing to stay in the army. It was not convenient for him to beat her up here.
"It's fine, you guys continue." The Beyond Grade As glanced over. They were already used to it.
"… Do you guys think I'm air?"
Ames couldn't take it anymore when she saw the two of them tugging at each other, so she spoke in an annoyed tone.
If Jotina was sitting on the other side of Han Xiao, it would have been fine. However, this person had stolen her seat and used her butt to push her to the side. Was this not a provocation?
"This is your exclusive seat? Why can't I sit? "Jotina turned around and glanced at her. Hostility was obvious.
Ames could not be bothered with her. This was not the first time Jotina had targeted her. She was speechless.
She crossed her arms, looked at Han Xiao, and snorted. "You look very comfortable."
"Of course not."
Han Xiao shook his head helplessly. He pushed Jotina away from his body, got up, and sat on the other side of Ames. He then pulled Lagi to his side and took the seat beside him.
Seeing this, Jotina snorted and did not approach him again. She turned around and sat to the side, eyeing him covetously.
Ames punched Han Xiao's chest and said with a smile that did not look like a smile, "You're very popular now. So many people want to snatch you away from me. Are you going to have a new lover one day?"
Han Xiao stroked his chin and pretended to tease her. "I think the reason why people want me is because there's still a gap in our relationship. If we get married and have children, they'll give up."
"… We'll see."
Ames leaned her head on Han Xiao's shoulder and answered softly.
Their relationship had been made public long ago. This was not the first time Black Star had mentioned children, but she simply did not want to have children. How troublesome would that be? However, after more than ten years, Ames' tone had changed from firm rejection to hesitation. The 'threat' from Jotina made her waver more and more.
Han Xiao did not force her.
Over the years, he had tried to use life energy and bioengineering to cultivate a race, but he discovered that the life forms cultivated by such genes had many flaws. They could not inherit the three inherited talents and could not achieve the desired effect. This plan to quickly expand the race could only be put on hold.
Since he could not use the method of a Mechanic, he had no choice but to start with fertility.
Beep! Beep!
At this moment, his communicator suddenly rang.
Han Xiao took it out and took a look. It was a message from the person in charge of the secondary dimension expedition outpost.
The content was simple, but it made Han Xiao's pupils constrict.
"Your Excellency Black Star, the egg of the abnormal creature you asked me to pay attention to has changed. Please come quickly."
More than ten years ago, Han Xiao and the Realmless King had reached a consensus. He had lent out a portion of his territory and was transformed into an outpost of the secondary dimension expedition army by the three Universal Civilizations. They had been working together for a long time.
The so-called egg of the abnormal creature was the egg of the Pivotal Snake. Han Xiao had specially instructed the person in charge of the expedition outpost to monitor it. There had been no changes for more than ten years, and today was the first time something had happened.
"I have something to do and will be leaving for a while. Kasuyi will temporarily give orders for me."
Han Xiao stood up without hesitation, gave some instructions to everyone, changed into the King, and left in a hurry.
…
On the other side, in the World Tree's base, the Tree King Palace.
The Fortitude Tree King sat on the throne, and two rays of light appeared on the other two empty seats, quickly turning into the figures of the Ancestral Tree King and the Secret Tree King.
As soon as he regained his physical body, the Secret Tree King said impatiently.
"What are you guys fighting about? Why is the Subduing Tree King dead again? "
"It's just a small accident."
The Fortitude Tree King had never been on good terms with him, so he replied with a deep voice.
The Secret Tree King snorted. "Accident? Heh, don't find excuses for your incompetence. Look at your battle results. You participated in the battle twice and lost the Heart Tree King and the Subduing Tree King respectively. You're embarrassing us. "
"It's different this time. The enemy has revealed a new trump card. The Subduing Tree King self-destructed so decisively because of the Heart Tree King," the Fortitude Tree King retorted.
"As the Tree King, he died in battle so easily. I don't think he's worthy of the Tree King Crown. It's better to change to someone else," the Heart Tree King mocked.
"Alright, stop arguing. There's nothing wrong with the Subduing Tree King's choice. At least he wasn't sealed by the enemy …"
At this moment, the Ancestral Tree King raised his hand and stopped the two of them from arguing.
Although his tone was calm, he was actually depressed. The Subduing Tree King had indeed died too quickly. It was as if he had self-destructed the moment he left the factory. If not for the fact that it was more troublesome to change the Tree King, he really wanted to remove the position of the Subduing Tree King.
Hearing this, the Fortitude Tree King did not continue arguing and continued, "The sacrifice of the Subduing Tree King is worth it. He has helped us find out a new powerful enemy …"
He shared the battle process with the two of them and emphasized EsGod's combat strength.
After reading it, the Ancestral Tree King narrowed his eyes and said,
"The enemy actually has experts of this level … Including Herberlon, there are already three people with the combat strength of a Tree King. There are also many experts among the other Supers who can fight against the Tree Kings. Their individual strength is too developed, and we might not have the advantage."
"It's mainly because the foreign experts can't make a move. Otherwise, it would be much easier." The Fortitude Tree King was helpless.
Black Star's existence had directly crippled a large number of their foreign experts. The high-level combatants that could be sent into the battlefield were not all. Otherwise, they would not have been so passive.
The Ancestral Tree King nodded. "Yes, that's true. Our only advantage now is our endless resurrection. It's just that the other party's recovery-type Esper is not simple. Although the exchange tactic is effective, it's very difficult to use … In comparison, their healing on the spot is considered immediate combat strength, and we're only a method after the fact. It won't be of much help in a head-on battle, so we're at a disadvantage."
"Then what should we do?"
"Hmm, our advantage is that the cost of trial and error is almost zero. We can test them a few more times today. We don't have to worry too much about casualties. As long as we can obtain more information about the enemy's experts, it will be worth it."
The Ancestral Tree King pondered.
The Fortitude Tree King coughed and said, "However, normal probing won't be able to pressure the enemy. I think it's better for us to attack together."
The Ancestral Tree King did not doubt him. He thought for a moment and said, "You're right. Even the two Tree Kings suffered a loss today. It seems like only the three of us can force out the enemy's background. It's best if we can kill that Esper on the spot."
"I think it's safer for the Tree God to descend …" the Fortitude Tree King suggested.
The Ancestral Tree King frowned slightly and shook his head. "The Heart Tree King's Tree King Crown is gone. Even if we use the Tree God's Descent, it will be incomplete. Furthermore … I don't like that feeling."
If it was not necessary, he was not willing to use the Tree God's Descent. This was not a comfortable thing.
The Fortitude Tree King agreed and changed the topic.
"By the way, the enemy has built a defense circle at the border. They seem to have destroyed a few Star Clusters and prevented us from devouring them. What do you plan to do?"
The Ancestral Tree King did not mind and casually said, "That's normal.
"That's normal. Since they know our advantage, it's only natural that they would make such a choice. Think of a way to steal information from their network and confirm the exact extent of the enemy's territory. It's best to obtain the coordinates of other star systems so that our troops can jump over and open up a new front, avoiding their border defense circle.
Also, they seem to be looking for the mother tree's main body. I don't know where this information came from, but they want our troops in the secondary dimensions to search for their traces. Also, think of a way to confirm the entrance of the enemy civilization into the secondary dimensions and open up a secondary dimension battlefront. "
Now was not the time to intercept the enemy. Since they were close to the enemy's territory, there were many options for attacking. Compared to attacking the Flickering World's defense circle, the Ancestral Tree King was more inclined to gather intelligence and open up more battlefronts to maximize the World Tree's advantage.
"Understood."
The Fortitude Tree King nodded.
He had purposely emphasized how difficult the enemy was to rope the other two Tree Kings in. This way, he would not have to worry alone. Perfect!
