Expeditionary Force Outpost.

An outbound exploration fleet was parked at the airport terminal. Harrison and a group of teammates stepped off the spacecraft, took off their life-support helmets, and took a deep breath.

"It suffocates me to death. The air in the base's large ecological cover is better. After being outside these days, the gas filter of the spacecraft is smelly."

"Really? Why don't I feel it?"

"Didn't you know that our Guket people's sense of smell is more sensitive than that of most interstellar species?"

"It's a pity that after being out for so long, I still haven't gained much."

Listening to the chatter among the team members, Harrison rubbed his forehead, feeling a little troubled.

Since he discovered the ally King of the Unbounded, the senior management has allowed him to lead an expedition team alone. From a follower member to a team commander, he has a certain degree of freedom to formulate exploration plans.

Black Star has always said that Harrison is lucky. Harrison is willing to believe this is true. He secretly hopes that his misty luck will help him again and find the World Tree itself as soon as possible to end the war. But after so many years, the luck that has high hopes seems to

It fell silent, and except for the occasional escape from the pursuit of the World Tree Familia, there was no new achievement in exploration.

The expeditionary force's current exploration progress has stalled, and Harrison is anxious and worried. As the saying goes, if you often walk by the river, your shoes will not get wet. The expeditionary force is wandering around the World Tree site, and encounters pursuers again and again. He feels that there will always be a rollover.

when.

At this time, a team member patted Harrison on the shoulder and said: "Captain, how long should we rest this time before starting the next exploration?"

"Ten days." Harrison came back to his senses.

"I know, let's go to the base cafeteria to eat, do you want to come together?"

"No, I will go to the logistics department to report first and let them inspect and maintain the spacecraft. I will also write a routine report later." Harrison waved his hand.

"Okay, we'll bring you some food. What do you want to eat?"

"Then I want to..."

Harrison heard the words and was about to speak, but suddenly stopped. At this moment, a heart palpitation suddenly appeared.

Without waiting for an answer, the team member blinked in confusion and asked again: "Why don't you tell me, what do you want to eat?"

Harrison was restless and felt an inexplicable strong alarm in his heart. He couldn't help but come back to his senses and looked up at the scene outside the airport, staring at one spot.

"What are you looking at?" The team member turned his head and followed Harrison's gaze. All he could see was the dim sunset-like scenery of the secondary dimension, like an oil painting with a historical atmosphere, but he didn't see anything unusual.

place.

"Something's wrong..."

Harrison became increasingly alert.

The team members wanted to ask again, but at this moment, the dimensional barrier in the distance suddenly lit up with a blue light, and quickly turned into a huge space vortex, as if a hole had been torn open, and the green World Tree dependents were like locusts.

It surged out, overwhelming the sky, like densely packed small green dots, and then quickly enlarged in everyone's sight.

"Woooooooo - Alarm! The space barrier has been breached! Enemy attack!"

The piercing sirens suddenly rang through the base, startling all the members of the expeditionary force who were resting and waiting in the base. Nervous shouts, urgent running sounds, and messy smashing sounds together formed a riotous concerto.

"Everyone evacuates at full speed! The base is preparing to self-destruct! The defense team will be sacrificed to cut off the rear!"

The roar of the person in charge of the outpost sounded in the wide area communication channel. Half an hour ago, an expedition team blew up and lost contact. He was still checking the matter. He didn't know whether the news was leaked. He didn't expect the World Tree to arrive so quickly.

The World Tree has a huge power in the secondary dimension, and the defense force of this outpost is limited. The dimensional coordinates have been exposed. If we continue to fight hard, more World Tree family members will be attracted. In the preset plans formulated by the three major civilizations, if this outpost

If the station is attacked, the first priority is to self-destruct to clear the traces and have the expeditionary force evacuate quickly. Unless it is absolutely necessary, do not choose to engage in a head-on confrontation.

"Let's go!"

Harrison's expression changed drastically, and he didn't care about anything else. He quickly called the horrified team members to board the car at the port and start the engine.

The outpost suddenly became chaotic. The automatic defense team hurriedly activated to fight against the endless stream of World Tree Familia to buy time. The members of the expeditionary force behind them swarmed towards the boathouse and hurriedly found their vehicles to take off and evacuate.

Streams of light shot out from the base, dispersed and evacuated, opened space rifts to escape, and fled to different secondary dimensions.

Soon, the vanguard troops of the World Tree Familia fought head-on with the outpost defense team, and in an instant, countless battleships exploded into fireworks on the spot.

At the same time, the fortresses in the outpost activated their self-destruction procedures and burst into flames. The entrance portals to the main material universe were also blown up by the physical missiles launched from the base. Fires shot into the sky, black smoke billowed in the air, and countless debris

Falling with a crash.

The defense team was quickly defeated, and the outpost violently self-destructed and fell rapidly. The same scene happened in multiple secondary dimensions. Yggdrasil obtained the precise dimensional coordinates half an hour ago, quickly assembled, directly located the end point, and carried out a large-scale blitzkrieg.

The attack caught them off guard. The bridgeheads established by the three major civilizations in the territory of the King of Unbounded Ones were knocked down one by one, and a large number of expedition teams fled.

On the other side, the residence of the Unbounded King.

A magical portal shining with green light suddenly opened, and the Secret Tree King slowly walked out. The first thing he saw was the black mountain range and the huge throne in the center of the dimension.

However, there is no figure of the Unbounded King on the throne at this moment.

"Am I a little late? Or am I just not at home?"

The Secret Tree King activated his perception spell and found that the Unbounded King was not hiding here, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

The stable area controlled by the Unbounded King has some reputation in this secondary dimension area, and the World Tree Familia have also heard about it, but they have never paid attention to it.

When I learned from the expedition team that the three major civilizations were cooperating with the King of the Unbounded, the Secret Tree King wanted to go straight to Huanglong and went directly to the base camp of the King of the Unbounded to transform it into a member of the World Tree, but found that the King of the Unbounded was not at home.

, had to give up this plan for the time being.

The Secret Tree King raised his hand and shook it, and magical runes shot out one after another, turning into surveillance spells and taking root in this secondary dimension. If the King of the Unbounded returned to his lair, he would come over and take action.

After arranging the spell casually, the Secret Tree King summoned the portal and stepped in. The vortex quickly contracted and disappeared with his figure.

At the same time, the secondary dimension on the edge of the Unbounded King's territory.

The space was slowly collapsing, and a stream of dimensional energy was swallowed up by the pivot snake larvae. On the side, the Unbounded King who was responsible for feeding suddenly stopped, and his mood suddenly tightened.

He has a basic sense of the territory he controls. Just now, he noticed that the World Tree army raided the secondary dimensions lent to the three major civilizations. Almost all outposts fell. The most terrifying thing is that the old nest has ushered in an attack.

This uninvited guest was obviously here for himself.

"The World Tree is still here!"

The Unbounded King suddenly panicked.

Although he uses the information of the three major civilizations as a bargaining chip, he is unwilling to disclose it to World Tree unless he is forced to do so. The risk is too great, and now World Tree is obviously eyeing him. Transcendent A Grade has gone straight to the lair, even if he expresses

If he is willing to cooperate, he will probably be killed to ensure the reliability of the information.

"Fortunately, I came out. If I had stayed at home, I would have become the puppet of World Tree..."

The Unbounded King was frightened for a while, and looked at the Snake who was feasting with mixed emotions.

When Black Star asked him to take out his territory to feed the Pivot Snake, the Unbounded King was still unhappy. Now that he saw it, he was only happy... If Black Star hadn't forcefully given him this job, he wouldn't have come out today.

If you walk around with a snake, you will most likely be blocked by a strong World Tree person at home, which is bad.

Rounding things off, Black Star saved my life?!

"There is no going back, we can only go one way to the end!"

The Unbounded King's thoughts turned around and he quickly made up his mind.

He didn't want to get involved in the war between two cosmic civilizations, but a close (big trouble) subordinate provoked the three major civilizations first and dragged him into the situation. Later, he was forced to cooperate with the three major civilizations.

, to this day it is already difficult to escape, even if you want to stay out of it, you can't.

Now that World Tree has set its sights on him, now he can only make a complete bet, hug the thighs of the three major civilizations, and overthrow World Tree.

Thinking of this, the Unbounded King turned to the mechanical envoy who was monitoring the pivot snake and reported the situation.

…

The battle did not last long. The World Tree Familia destroyed the outpost of the expeditionary force. The raid ended quickly. A large number of expedition teams fled in all directions. A part of the World Tree fleet pursued along the fluctuations of the dimension shuttle, while the remaining troops had begun to clean up the battlefield.

, summarize the results and carry out finishing work.

The roots of the World Tree protrude from the cracks in space, with a string of expeditionary force spaceships hanging on them. The Secret Tree King is suspended aside, sharing memories with his eyes closed.

Not long after, the Secret Tree King opened his eyes again. His originally relaxed expression was now extremely solemn.

"I didn't expect that the natural enemy of the mother tree would be controlled by the enemy. The situation is dangerous..."

Killing the enemies who were searching for the location of the mother tree was just a casual move, but he didn't expect to find traces of the mother tree's natural enemies. This was not good news.

If the natural enemy of the mother tree enters the mature stage, it can reversely sense the direction of the mother tree. If it only acts independently, it is not a big threat. However, if it is controlled by the enemy, the threat level will soar to the extreme, which means that the enemy can use this

Find the parent tree itself.

The Secret Tree King understands the seriousness of the matter, which means that World Tree, which had no pressure to fight a war of attrition, must also seize time, either to kill the pivot snake before it reaches adulthood, or to completely defeat the three major civilizations before then.

The only good news is that the Pivot Snake is just born, and it takes a long time to grow from infancy to adulthood.

He immediately reported this matter to the Ancestral Tree King, and the next moment, the Ancestral Tree King's Shen Ning voice sounded in the spiritual network:

"You did a good job, otherwise we would still be in the dark. You must mobilize some high-level combat forces to hunt down the natural enemies of the mother tree. Be sure to get rid of them!"

"Okay, I happened to get the coordinates of the opponent's territory in the secondary dimension world from the memories of these people, and I have a new attack target."

"Well, King Dingshu and I are ready to respond at any time, and I'll leave the rest to you." King Zushu nodded.

"It just so happens that this time we can successfully open up the secondary dimension front and solve the problem together."

There was a cold glint in the eyes of the Secret Tree King. He was not satisfied with destroying the outposts of the three major civilizations. He was targeting the base camps where the three major civilizations had developed for a long time in the secondary dimension world.
