Secondary dimension world, World Tree Civilization Control Area, Tree King Palace.
The spiritual network with Hailian was cut off, and the Ancestral Tree King knew that she had been sealed by the Black Star, and silently closed his eyes, his expression gloomy.
"What should I do?" King Dingshu looked over with a complicated tone.
The Ancestral Tree King pressed his brows, his expression changing, ranging from frustration to loss, from anger to regret.
After being silent for a while, he opened his eyes again and spoke slowly, his expression showing helplessness and weakness:
"...recover all troops outside and return to the secondary dimension. In the jurisdiction, all the troops are defending the main body of the mother tree."
"Are we giving up the invasion?"
"It is no longer time to think about how to invade the opponent, it is time to prepare for the enemy's counterattack. ”
The Ancestral Tree King’s eyes were solemn, with a hint of unwillingness flashing through his eyes.
The coordinates of the mother tree's body have been exposed. If it were an ordinary opponent, the World Tree civilization would not be too panicked. It could block the dimension and mobilize heavy troops to defend it. Even if the enemy wants to attack the mother tree, it will not be too panic. Countless lines of defense have to be crossed.
However, the three major civilizations have just restrained this set of tactics. The high-dimensional apocalypse transmitter ignores any space blockade and can pass through any defense line. Once the coordinates of the mother tree are exposed, it is equivalent to giving the three major civilizations the opportunity to directly steal the home. If you have an opportunity, you can go straight to Huanglong at any time.
The Ancestral Tree King did not dare to take risks and had to withdraw all his troops to defend the mother tree itself. The offense and defense had changed, and now it was his turn to worry about the invasion of the three major civilizations.
And this approach, in the eyes of the Ancestral Tree King, is just drinking poison to quench thirst. Even if it can defeat the armies of the three major civilizations again and again, the pivot snake has been completely controlled by Black Star and can locate the mother tree at any time. It is equivalent to the world tree never having peace. The Ancestral Tree King could hardly think of a way to make a comeback. Civilization has flourished to this day, and it has been a long time since he fell into this desperate situation.
After hunting so many civilizations, I finally encountered a tough situation. I often walk by the river without getting my shoes wet. I hunt geese all day long and get pecked in the eye by geese.
"Is there really no other way?" King Dingshu asked in a low voice.
"Yes, and it's very simple. As long as you kill Black Star, everything will be solved." The Ancestral Tree King had no expression on his face.
"...If I could kill him, I would have killed him long ago." King Dingshu looked bitter.
"So the leadership of the war is no longer in our hands, and the long-term strategy has lost the environment for execution. All we can do now is to use tactics and tactics."
King Zushu's tone was bitter.
As of now, he doesn’t know where his fate will go.
......
The Tree King's order was conveyed to all the officers through the spiritual network. Regardless of being shocked, panicked or unwilling, all the officers obediently carried out the order.
The Yggdrasil fleets that were causing trouble in the three major civilizations withdrew urgently in batches, and the group armies stationed outside the borders of Glittering World also abandoned their strongholds, jumped away through wormholes, and evacuated all of them.
The sudden withdrawal of World Tree's troops left many support units of the Interstellar Alliance empty. Many people felt confused and didn't know what was going on with World Tree.
This information was quickly passed on and attracted the attention of senior officials.
At the Interstellar Alliance Strategic Command, an emergency meeting is underway.
The remote projections of the three major civilization leaders were also present. They received the report from the staff and were greatly surprised. They attended the meeting together and listened to the military's analysis of the reasons for World Tree's withdrawal.
“World Tree clearly takes the initiative and can harass and devour our territory as much as it wants, but now it suddenly stopped invading. Not only that, but even the army group that was eyeing outside the border of Glittering World has taken back. This kind of The situation is quite strange, and we don’t know the reason yet. What do you think?”
Commander Simon said solemnly.
Everyone present looked serious, staring intently at the virtual strategic sandbox.
They are not optimistic that World Tree's withdrawal is a good thing. From their perspective, such unreasonable behavior must be supported by reasonable unknown reasons.
From the military's perspective, World Tree is most likely going to cause trouble, but they don't know the enemy's goal, so the atmosphere is quite tense at this time, and the air is filled with anxiety.
Taini knocked on the table and said in a deep voice: "According to the calculations of the staff, World Tree's sudden withdrawal may be a conspiracy to mislead our judgment, and an unknown secret is brewing behind the scenes. The target of this large-scale military operation is likely to be directed at our central star sea, the mother star of the three major civilizations!”
Hearing this, everyone’s expressions became even more serious.
"In this case, we must continue to strengthen the defense of our home planet! World Tree withdrew its troops at the cusp of the storm, and the planned action is by no means a simple formality. If we relax, maybe it will really happen. They will succeed!"
Simon looked solemn and his voice was sonorous.
At this time, an officer of the Ethereal Religion hesitated and said, "Doesn't anyone think this is an accident within the World Tree?"
The Ethereal Religion Turning his head to look at him, he said in a deep voice: "We can't hope that the enemy will have problems. We must first consider the worst possibility in everything."
At this time, if the glorious president Louis has After thinking about it, he said: "There must be a reason for World Tree's withdrawal. Could it be that the traitors secretly leaked some information to World Tree, leading them to make a new decision?"
After the words fell, many officers His face was stern and his expression was even more serious.
For more than half a year, the three major civilizations have been resisting the invasion of World Tree while conducting thorough internal investigations for traitors. There are many suspects, but they cannot identify the culprit.
Under the pressure of foreign enemies, the three major civilizations did not dare to kill the enemy rather than let go. The cooperation between the Interstellar Alliance was hard-won, and they were also afraid that they would wrong their innocent allies and cause internal turmoil. This is inappropriate.
Mabrus agreed: "ThisIt is also a possibility. The existence of traitors is still a destabilizing factor and is most likely to lead to various variables. "
"We still have to come up with an effective method to let the traitors show their feet. "The leader of Xuling emphasized.
Just when everyone was expressing their opinions and discussing endlessly, another remote projection suddenly appeared in the conference room.
Everyone turned their heads to look, and the person coming was shocking. It’s Black Star.
“Hey, the meeting has already started, it seems you didn’t wait for me. ”
Han Xiao looked around and nodded to everyone, and everyone nodded.
As one of the pillars of the war, he naturally received the invitation to the meeting, but in order to confirm the central The coordinates of the mother tree sensed by the snake were correct, so it was delayed for a while.
"You are late. "Ma Bruce was helpless.
Han Xiao waved his hand.
"Don't care about these details. What were you talking about just now? ”
Simon took the initiative to explain:
“World Tree suddenly withdrew its troops and stopped the invasion of the whole territory. We are guessing their motives for this move... The biggest possibility at present is that World Tree A wave of large-scale military operations is being planned against the three major civilization home stars, and it is also possible that traitors have leaked new information. ”
“Oh? Has World Tree been withdrawn? ”
Han Xiao blinked, but he only knew about it now.
After thinking about it, he understood the motivation of World Tree Civilization and couldn’t help but laugh:
p>
“Okay, don’t scare yourself, Yggdrasil retreated because they were scared. "
"Afraid? "
Everyone looked at each other in confusion, not understanding what Han Xiao meant.
The leader of Xuling coughed and said: "Black Star, stop joking, this matter is very serious. of. ”
“Who has time to joke with you. "Han Xiao clicked his tongue, "I have ripened the pivot snake, and now I have mastered the precise coordinates of the World Tree's body. The World Tree has noticed this through two-way sensing. They retreated because they were afraid that we would go straight to Huanglong, so they retreated to defend themselves. , there is no other possibility. ”
“Have you found the location of the World Tree itself? Really? ! ”
The three of them were stunned, suddenly overjoyed, and a little scared, for fear that this was a fake.
Everyone was also shocked, their faces changed drastically, and they stared at Han Xiao blankly. The eyes were full of disbelief.
It wasn’t until Han Xiao gave a positive answer that the three leaders and the officers present became really excited.
“What did you do? Arrived? ! ”
Ma Bruce asked hurriedly, and everyone looked at Han Xiao eagerly.
Seeing this, Han Xiao did not hide anything, and briefly explained the assassination of Hailian, emphasizing He emphasized that Pivot Snake had unlocked its sensing ability, which made everyone excited.
Because of the existence of Pivot Snake, everyone has been very confident in this war, but that was all confidence in the long-term trend. I think soIt took less than a few decades to persist under the offensive of World Tree's invasion all over the world to wait for a turning point that would determine the outcome. Unexpectedly, Black Star had solved the key problem at this stage.
This is equivalent to reducing the war losses for the interstellar society for decades. It relieves officers like them in advance, and everyone is very excited.
"Well done! In this way, the initiative is completely in our hands!"
Mabrus clenched his fist fiercely, overjoyed.
While he was happy, he also felt a little ashamed. While they were still thinking about how to catch the traitors, Black Star had already found the key elements to end the war and regained the leadership. The two sides were simply doing things. Not on the same level.
Looking at the trend since the war began, Black Star has appeared in almost every turn of events. Now it has given the three major civilizations a chance to win. It is said that he alone led the direction of the war, and the three of them It doesn't feel like an exaggeration at all.
At this time, Han Xiao waved his hand and said casually:
"Don’t say any more unnecessary words. The weakness of World Tree has been exposed and it has completely fallen into passivity. We should gather a large force. Take the initiative to attack and completely end this enemy... In this war, Yggdrasil has reached its end!"
Hearing this, Simon stood up with sharp eyes and a decisive tone:
"Your Excellency Black Star is right, it's our turn to blow the clarion call for counterattack!"
After the words fell, everyone suddenly became heroic and stood up one after another, looking at the three leaders with solemn expressions. Ask for orders.
"Please give me the order!"
Seeing this, Ma Bruce, Lewis, and the leader of Void Spirit straightened their faces, nodded heavily, and spoke solemnly:
" Okay! From now on, we will make strategic adjustments. The primary goal is no longer to defend the country, but now to completely destroy the World Tree civilization as the new strategic goal! p>The officers present responded in unison, with solemn expressions and eagerness to try.
Han Xiao looked at this scene with a playful smile on his lips.
Although he and the three major civilizations have the same goal of defeating the World Tree Civilization, their specific needs are still different.
From the perspective of the three major civilizations, the destruction of World Tree naturally reassures them the most.
But from Han Xiao's perspective...he can only say that jointly resisting foreign enemies is sincere, and using each other is also sincere.
‘After the main contradiction is resolved, the differences between me and the three major civilizations will also surface. These people are thanking me now, but I don’t know what will happen then. ’
Han Xiao’s eyes flashed, making secret calculations.
......
With the withdrawal of World Tree, the raging fighting between the two sides stopped, causing the war-torn explored universe to suddenly become silent.
When the interstellar people were not mentally prepared, the war suddenly went out, just as suddenly as the World Tree invaded, and it came and went in a hurry.
The top leaders of the three major civilizations have been finalizedAfter reaching a consensus, the change in strategy quickly affected the whole body. The Interstellar Alliance no longer patrolled and guarded the territory, but began to gather towards the central star sea.
Aware of the change in the situation, countless interstellar citizens who had been in panic all day were stunned for a while and could not figure out the situation.
There are different opinions on the Internet, and Covenant observers lurking in the deserted space belt are also confused by Yggdrasil's withdrawal.
They don’t know the secret of the Shu Snake and are still in the dark. They can only collect intelligence from public information on the Internet. At this time, they just feel confused.
"Strange, the World Tree should have been cannibalizing the three major civilizations. How did the good ones leave?"
In the secret base, many Covenant observers were quite confused.
They leaked information just to guide Yggdrasil to massively destroy the three major civilizations. For more than half a year, Yggdrasil's actions have perfectly met their expectations, allowing them to watch the fire from afar.
Things were going in the direction they planned. They were having fun watching the show, but World Tree suddenly slipped away. This group of Covenant observers were caught off guard.
"World Tree must have its reasons for doing this. They may not be satisfied with making small troubles, and are shrinking and gathering troops to prepare for a big one!"
Observation The captain analyzed it for a while and came to a conclusion with a firm tone.
After hearing this, many team members also felt that it made sense, and their inner surprise turned into expectation.
At this time, this group of Star Alliance lurkers still don’t know that the tool of their borrowed knife murder plan, the Yggdrasil civilization that they have high hopes for, is currently a mud Buddha crossing the river, and it is difficult to save itself.
