In the combat command room of the main base of the interception theater, reports of successful interceptions continued to come back. Simon and others were controlling the overall situation around the real-time star map, while many Transcendent A Grades were on standby. Outside the window were ten high-dimensional apocalypse transmitters.

It is maintaining a preheating state and is ready to go out at any time.

At this time, a ray of light flashed in the corner of the room, and Kesuye put on a set of emperor's clothes and teleported back to the room, wrapped in Han Xiao's mechanical power, which immediately attracted the attention of others.

"You're back? How do you feel?"

Han Xiao raised his eyebrows and took back the emperor on Kesuye.

Because the high-dimensional Apocalypse teleporter is only responsible for one-way transmission, the intercepting troops will naturally not carry another set of teleporters, so Han Xiao borrowed the Emperor's mecha and asked other Transcendent A-levels to bring one set when they were dispatched, and he would use it when they were done.

The mechanical force is pulled back, and the efficiency is improved over and over again.

"World Tree's Transcendent A Grade is quite powerful." Kesuye nodded solemnly.

"But I was ravaged to death by you... I feel like you are praising yourself in disguise." The sun hunter on the side was suspicious.

"Ahem, I'm evaluating based on the standard of ordinary Transcendent A Grade, don't count the peak Transcendent A Grade... the opponent's telepathy is relatively strong, and the light green energy seems to have greatly improved his mental power. In our case,

I estimate that Bian can defeat 1.6 Siskos." Kesuye pondered.

"It's good. The empire has Kohler and you have Sisko. This kind of base... basic combat unit is more convenient for us to compare our strength intuitively." Swordsman Fu said calmly.

Fortunately, these two people were not here, so no one jumped out to refute, and everyone nodded.

"What you are talking about is the increase in combat power brought about by the World Tree connection. Basically, every Transcendent A Grade of the World Tree civilization has enjoyed this bonus, which is equivalent to a wonder-level cosmic treasure in each person's hand." Han Xiao replied to Kesu.

yeah.

"So the average combat power limit of the opponent's Transcendent A Grade group is higher than ours?" Manison's master clone asked.

"You can say that." Han Xiao spread his hands, "But in terms of high-end combat power, it should be about half a pound. The five tree kings and their ten-leaf executive officers are on their own, the thirteen ancestral spirits and the high-level holy tree envoys are extraordinary, and there are also people who are responsible for external affairs all year round.

We can still fight a dozen of the senior generals of the military who are fighting."

"It sounds like it's not easy to mess with." The secret master shook his head.

Kesuye frowned and said: "Speaking of which, I just tried to pry into the other party's memory, but I felt the pressure from a high position. If I didn't withdraw my telekinesis in time, I might be severely injured... Is that the power of the World Tree?

?”

"That's right, that's the World Tree. Don't use mental power to detect the memory of any World Tree member. They are all connected together, protected by the World Tree, and their thoughts are monitored. Once deviations occur, they will be corrected to prevent prying eyes.

Physical and other spiritual means..."

Han Xiao explained.

"It's just like a slave, who can never rebel against his master..." Kesuye sighed with emotion, and then asked curiously: "Then how did you get the information from them?"

"You still need to ask? I'm better than you." Han Xiao was very honest.

Everyone was a little speechless.

Although it is true, why do we want to hit you so much...

Everyone ignored Han Xiao and pulled Kesuye to ask questions. Although everyone present had read the hundreds of information on World Tree powerhouses collected by Han Xiao last time, they were still very curious about Kesuye's experience in fighting against him.

Han Xiao didn't take it seriously, shook his head, stood up and came to Simon and others. While listening to the continuous orders given by senior officers and staff, he watched the changes in the real-time star map.

There are dense light spots scattered on the star map, each one represents an interception force, which is changing dynamically. Crosses are drawn in some places, which represent the locations where the enemy has been successfully intercepted. There is a circle of light around the cross, as well as a line.

The lines extending out represent the possible routes of other World Tree exploration troops.

"The interception situation is pretty good now, thanks to your intelligence." Seeing Han Xiao coming over, Simon took the time to say something.

"It's just helping each other." Han Xiao didn't take it seriously.

Simon nodded and then sighed.

"However, the interception circle is still too passive. We can only try to prevent the World Tree exploration team from entering our territory. But if we defend for a long time, we will lose. As long as the enemy goes far enough around, sooner or later something will slip through the net. We can only find ways to delay this moment.

s arrival."

"There is nothing we can do about it. Our opponent is World Tree after all." Han Xiao shrugged.

"...Yes, this civilization was simply born for war. If it were another opponent, we wouldn't have to passively defend our homeland like we are now. It's really a troublesome enemy."

Simon was helpless.

The three major civilizations are also hegemon-level civilizations. If the foreign enemy is not a war machine like World Tree, with their current intelligence advantage, they may already be thinking of ways to take the initiative... But no tactic can be applied to all situations, and taking the initiative is also

It depends on who the opponent is. If you ignore the opponent's actual situation and just copy the cases in the tactical manual, you will probably suffer heavy losses. After all, they are not like Yggdrasil, who can fight for family wealth without feeling distressed. With the lessons learned from the Kama Republic, the world

The most powerful thing about a tree is not its aggressive attack like fire, but its encroachment.

Moreover, Han Xiao’s intelligence has shown that the main body is the foundation of World Tree. If this is a real-time strategy game, then the territory of World Tree is at best a sub-base, the main base is still in the fog of war, and the three major civilizations are exposed

We have lost the location of our main base and are under attack. It is naturally not cost-effective to switch to a sub-base, not to mention that their troops are faster.

After calming down, Simon took out his flip pocket watch and took a look at it, and said: "The interception circle is still in the construction stage, and it is most short of manpower. How long will it take for your association's Transcendent A Grade force fleet to arrive?"

"Come on, they are gathering towards the teleportation point." Han Xiao replied.

The current Glittering World is rapidly turning into a war zone, and irrelevant people are leaving at high speed. The Federation of Radiance did not hesitate to take out a large number of high-dimensional Apocalypse teleporters in stock, and established a gathering point in the Dawn Star Cluster to teleport the follow-up troops.

, the fleets of the Black Star Legion and other Transcendent A Grade forces are on their way there.

Simon nodded and said:

"As soon as possible, the more manpower we have, the sooner the interception circle can be completed, and the longer the World Tree can be kept outside the territory, the better."

…

The interstellar age pays attention to efficiency. Advanced mobility reduces travel time. You can encounter many things every day, but on a higher scale, many things require a long evolution.

In the next few days, the three major civilization interception forces have been playing hide and seek with World Tree's No. 274 Exploration Corps. One exploration team after another was destroyed, but due to detours, the battle line also became longer and longer.

At the same time, batches of reinforcements from Transcendent A Grade forces also came to the interception theater and quickly invested in the construction of the interception circle. Wormhole rapid support base stations were established one after another, connected to each other, like a large network, forming layers of barriers.

, the area is expanding rapidly every day, spreading farther and farther.

The interception theater is now the front line. More Transcendent A Grades have arrived here one after another after handling the matters at hand, and the number is quickly approaching a hundred.

On this day, the main base observation deck.

Han Xiao stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the bright galaxy in the distance. He seemed to be thinking about life, but in fact he was browsing the forum to check the reactions of players who had arrived at the front line.

While he was concentrating on reading the post, footsteps suddenly sounded from far and near behind him. Han Xiao turned off the panel and looked back. It was Hela and Aurora.

"Are you here too?" Han Xiao glanced at the two of them.

"Just arrived." Hela's expression was calm.

"I know that with your temperament, you will definitely not miss this kind of battle."

Han Xiao shook his head.

He did not force the two sisters to participate, nor did he force them to stay behind. After all, the two were already Transcendent A Grade, and they had to respect each other's wishes. If they came voluntarily, he would not stop them. Besides, the two sisters were indeed

Rare and excellent combat power.

"Since we have to fight the enemy together, we naturally can't stay out of it. With the power we have now, I don't have the habit of accepting protection with peace of mind." Hela said slowly.

Han Xiao glanced at Aurora, "What about you?"

"Ah? My sister is here, I must follow her, otherwise what if she is beaten to death... And my ability should be of great use." Aurora smiled.

"Maybe her situation is safer than mine here." Hela snorted, which was one of the reasons why she didn't stop Aurora from following.

"With you here, the safety of other Transcendent A Grades is guaranteed." Han Xiao nodded towards Aurora.

"Don't get me wrong, we have other plans. This is a good place to expand the underworld."

Hela waved her hand.

"It is indeed a good opportunity." Han Xiao nodded in agreement.

With Netherland here, even if the warriors below Transcendent A Grade die, they still have a chance to be reborn. The War Meat Grinder has always been a treasure place for collecting dead souls. As long as Netherland can fit it, there will be no problem.

It's just that the World Tree warriors are bound by the connection and will not lose their souls even after death. It is estimated that they cannot be captured. There is a high probability that the Underworld can only recover the fallen soldiers from the three major civilizations. Moreover, Han Xiao does not dare to let the two sisters take the risk of capturing the World Tree.

If the connection between the World Tree and the World Tree is not released, the coordinates of the Netherworld in the secondary dimension will be directly exposed, and the World Tree will follow the clues to attack the Netherland, which will not be good.

But this does not affect the strategic importance of the Underworld. In Han Xiao's eyes, the Underworld has the ability to change the overall situation. Its effect is no less than that of the Sanctuary's recovery, and even exceeds it in some aspects. Unfortunately, Aurora's accumulation

It's still too little. If she were allowed to grow for tens or hundreds of years, the power of Hades could reach new heights.

Han Xiao turned back and looked out the window again, and said in a deep voice: "I have a vague feeling in the past few days that World Tree will not sit back and watch us deploy the defense line. I am afraid that it will organize a large-scale attack soon, and a tough battle may break out soon. That's right.

The first large-scale frontal battle between the three major civilizations and World Tree."

"Is this your intuition?" Hela raised her eyebrows.

"No, it's just a prediction based on Yggdrasil's style."

Han Xiao pinched his chin, his tone was deep, then he changed the subject and sighed:

"No matter what, you must protect yourselves. I may not be able to handle the intensity of a space-level war."

"I will take care of myself." Hela replied calmly.

…

World tree civilization territory.
