1364 Determination and Shadow(1/2)
The three major civilizations would not deliberately publicize the failure of the interception circle, but the fire could not be suppressed. As the troops of the major forces withdrew from the explored universe, the bad news quickly spread throughout the interstellar society, which was always paying attention to the war situation, and immediately caused widespread concern.
of panic.
For more than a year, the refugees who migrated to the Central Star Sea from various places got used to the good news that the interception circle successfully blocked the World Tree time and time again, and took comfort in it. This made many people feel that the forced evacuation was worth it, and they had already accepted it in their hearts.
The interception circle serves as a "frontier" to block the enemy.
As long as the interception circle is there, they feel safe, thinking that this barrier can always block the World Tree and prevent the war from spreading to the mainland.
However, now that this barrier has been breached by the enemy, the inner confidence of the people has been taken away. The chain reaction is astonishing, not only causing panic and fear, but also causing the trust of the three major civilizations to plummet.
In the eyes of interstellar citizens, the three major civilizations are almost omnipotent "kings". However, such a powerful ruler joined forces and still suffered a defeat from a foreign enemy. Although there are many factors involved, in the eyes of ordinary people, this
Just like a mathematical equation of 3<1, it symbolizes that the three major civilizations are no match for foreign enemies!
Many people are willing to accept forced migration and take refuge because they believe that the three major civilizations can eventually repel foreign enemies. However, the three major civilizations cannot defeat the invaders. So is it really safe for them to stay in the Central Star Sea to seek refuge? Are they waiting to die?
This kind of idea quickly spreads in the hearts of interstellar citizens like a virus, nourishing emotions such as uneasiness, panic, fear, etc. Even if the public opinion control departments of the three major civilizations continue to work, the overflowing emotions are like a flood that bursts a dike, and it is not so easy to regain it.
Blocked.
Immediately, turmoil broke out.
There are frequent cases of people seizing ships and escaping on a large number of refugee planets. Some people no longer want to believe in the three major civilizations, and feel that if they stay, they are waiting to die. They try to "save themselves" before foreign enemies attack, and want to escape from the explored universe in a spaceship and live in exile in the starry sky.
The refugees who had originally docilely accepted the control of the three major civilizations, faced with the danger of their lives, broke out in a sense of group resistance, and the difficulty of management suddenly increased. The three major civilizations had to allocate more energy to appease and suppress the refugees.
Suddenly, chaos arose.
In the previous life, foreign enemies came with ferocious force and used multiple methods. The people had no choice and no way to retreat. Now the three major civilizations have been given time to prepare for war, and they also give the people a choice. There are advantages and disadvantages. At least it cannot be the same as in the previous life.
It is easy to achieve the state of all people becoming soldiers.
…
Transcendent A Grade Association Headquarters, Fein Star.
Due to the large-scale deployment of the three major civilization armies, many Transcendent A Grade forces have changed the location of the association headquarters, and this planet in the middle of Glittering World has been moved to the Black Star territory.
Since a large number of Transcendent A Grades rushed to the front line, the Transcendent A Grade Association has entered a state of suspension. At this moment, Han Xiao and other participants returned to the association and held a plenary meeting again after about a year.
In the round table conference room, many association members gathered together. Compared with the full seats before the war, there are now many empty seats, and each empty seat represents a victim.
"...The specifics are this. In at least eleven years, World Tree will invade the mainland and reach the border of Glittering World..."
Han Xiao spoke in a low tone, relaying the results of the deliberations of the three major civilizations’ war meetings.
Listening to this information, all Transcendent A Grades present had straight faces, heavy hearts, and the atmosphere was solemn and solemn.
"Eleven years is too short..."
A Transcendent A Grade couldn't help but speak with a worried tone.
This amount of time flies by in the eyes of Transcendent A Grade. Even on the time scale of ordinary people, it does not even last a generation.
The amazing offensive of World Tree to break through the interception circle left a deep impression on the participants. When they thought that the endless green tide would invade the mainland soon, like a disaster that swallowed all things, covering the entire explored universe bit by bit, everyone
Then my subconscious nerves were tense and I was extremely fearful.
Kesuye knocked on the table and encouraged: "Looking at the bright side, we still have at least eleven years to prepare. In this year's battle against World Tree, we have also discovered many of our own shortcomings. We can take this opportunity.
Complete."
Because he knows the truth about Sanctuary and Iteration, he has always been a staunch leader and the other backbone besides Han Xiao.
But after he finished speaking, many participants did not respond as before and just remained silent. Naturally, the members of the War Avoidance Association, who were already divided, did not respond in favor.
Dilron put his elbows on the table, took in everyone's expressions, and sneered jokingly.
"Hey, I have long said that your attitude will change after you have experienced the war. Now you know that I am right, right? Look at you guys, how impassioned you were when you set out, but now? You are not disgraced and beaten by the enemy.
Come back! After spending so many lives of association members, we still failed to stop the enemy's advance. Tell me, what's the use of these people's sacrifice? It's just a waste of the only chance of recovery."
Hearing this, most of the combatants clenched their fists or claws, obviously aroused with anger, but no one spoke to refute.
In fact, what Dilron said touched their hearts. In the interstellar battlefield with a scale of hundreds of billions, many people felt their own insignificance. Watching those Transcendent A Grade big shots who usually made the difference in interstellar society died tragically one after another, and other people's participation in the war.
Faith becomes more and more shaken.
Seeing this, Han Xiao frowned and said in a deep voice:
"Okay, shut up. At least we cooperated with the three major civilizations to delay World Tree's invasion of the mainland for one year."
"Oh, just one year..."
Dilron curled his lips and disapproved, but he did not dare to say more under Han Xiao's gaze.
Han Xiao stopped looking at him, glanced at everyone, and said slowly: "Anyway, these eleven years are the final preparation period and cannot be wasted. I will unconditionally borrow a series of cosmic treasures such as the Evolution Cube to improve your strength. Others
The same should be true for people who possess similar cosmic treasures. You have stayed in the position of "interstellar big shot" for too long. Some people have been unable to make progress for a long time and have neglected training. I suggest that everyone start special training. If you can be stronger,
a little."
"What special training? Who will do the special training?" Kohler was curious.
Han Xiao muttered:
“The pinnacle Transcendent A-level players of each system serve as mentors, imparting experience and guiding routes, while I, as the chief instructor, coordinate all special training plans. On the one hand, I need to improve my personal strength, and on the other hand, I need to practice cooperative tactics to fight the enemy together.
Moreover, everyone is trained in actual combat, so there is no need to worry about injuries. Aurora is responsible for healing. In peacetime, as representatives of individual power, we do not have frequent opportunities to take action, but now is not the time to worry about face and prestige. We must try our best to improve our combat skills.
Strength, actual combat is the best way, winning or losing is not important, improving one's own abilities is the key."
He does want to increase the average combat power of the Transcendent A Grade group, but on the other hand, he also feels that this is a good excuse to find people to compete with frequently, and maybe he can gain more abilities.
After hearing this, everyone hesitated but did not object.
At this time, the secret master spoke in a deep voice:
"What if the three major civilizations lose in the end?"
Han Xiao lowered his eyes and said slowly:
"...I promise you that if things cannot be done, I will not ask for anything more. I will definitely take you away from the explored universe and go to the endless star sea. Therefore, these eleven years are also the time when we transfer the resources of our Transcendent A Grade forces and prepare
Time to retreat.”
Han Xiao did not believe that the three major civilizations would definitely be able to defeat World Tree. Now that the timeline is different, it is completely a mystery whether the true body of World Tree can be found. The probability is unknown. If it cannot be found, the three major civilizations have almost no chance of winning. He also does
We have prepared for the worst and prepared a way out for the association in advance.
If the three major civilizations are really in decline, he will leave them here without mercy. The universe is so vast that there is nowhere to go.
The regular meeting lasted for a while before everyone dispersed with their own thoughts.
After everyone was gone, Han Xiao exhaled, took out his communicator, contacted Vower, and inquired about the progress of collecting the keys to the sanctuary. Naturally, the top priority was the First Sanctuary, where the flow of time was the most consistent.
However, Vower's answer is that the materials have not been collected yet, and it will take some time to wait.
"I hope that the second round of recovery can start as soon as possible. The fighting spirit of the association members has been shaken."
Han Xiao secretly said.
Many resuscitators feel that they have consumed their only chance of recovery and will no longer need them in the future, so they are disobedient. Now there is an urgent need to correct these people's ideas with the truth. Only by showing their own indispensability can they infinitely amplify their right to speak and let the superpowers
A-level groups rely more on themselves and fight wherever they are directed.
At the same time, the two sisters walked out of the venue one after another.
Suddenly, Hela stopped and Aurora, who had her head down, bumped into her back as if she didn't notice. Then she came to her senses and raised her head blankly.
"What's wrong with you recently? Ever since you lifted the seal on your mind, you haven't been in a good state. You often get distracted. It was the same during the meeting just now."
Hela turned back and looked at Aurora with a frown.
"I..." Aurora clenched her fists, buried her head deeply, and hesitated: "I was just thinking, if I were much stronger than now, would these things still happen?"
"Oh?" Hela raised her eyebrows but did not answer.
Aurora pursed her lips and said to herself:
"Black Star said that my current level is far from being able to display the true level of this power. If I become stronger, I can summon more underworld heroes at any time. If I become stronger, I can resist
With this thought seal, if I become stronger, there won’t be such companions dying in battle..."
As she spoke, her voice became more and more frustrated, filled with deep self-blame.
"It's all because I'm not strong enough!"
Hela looked at her quietly, and waited until she had vented her emotions before speaking expressionlessly:
"Yes, it's because you're not strong enough! They are all comforting you, saying it's not your fault, but in my eyes it's your problem. If you were at the peak of Transcendent A Grade, the losses in this battle could be avoided!
"
Hearing this, Aurora twisted her fingers, feeling even more ashamed,
After becoming Transcendent A Grade a few years ago, and no longer having to be controlled by Black Star and Hela, her heart became wild. She felt that she was finally able to fly like a fish, and a bird could fly high in the sky.
Her own superpowers can guarantee her survival, she has inherited a powerful Netherland Heroic Spirit, she has also been sought after by a large number of association members, and she even has life-saving equipment from Black Star. She has all kinds of trump cards innately, so she relaxes and no longer continues.
For training.
It wasn't until this setback that Aurora regretted not training hard in the past few years.
To be continued...
