While the Interstellar Alliance was celebrating, the top leaders of the Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance were discussing the brief confrontation between Han Xiao and the three major civilizations, which refreshed their spirits.
“External pressure is the glue for internal cracks. Now that the glue is gone, the cracks between Black Star and the three major civilizations will become wider and wider. Confrontation will be a matter of time, but what is different from the beginning is , Transcendent A Grade forces are now at their peak, and they have obtained the legacy of the World Tree. The three major civilizations are no longer able to contain it."
The Star Arc leader knocked on the table, with an inexplicable meaning in his eyes.
The same is true for many of the top executives of the Transcendent Star Cluster. They were both gloating and worried about the misfortune, and they were talking in low voices.
“The interstellar society won the war, but the real benefits fell into the hands of Black Star. Although the war is over, it is only the beginning of the reshuffle of the interstellar pattern. A new pattern will be formed in chaos. Black Star and so on The character will not miss this opportunity. With his reputation as a war hero, the three major civilizations cannot stop it... This is the general trend!"
"Black Star has the World Tree, and its power is expanding rapidly. He doesn't need to ally with us to compete with the three major civilizations. Will he still value the agreement with us? "
"It should still be possible. The vitality of World Tree is greatly damaged, and Black Star may not be willing to do so in the short term? Falling out, it is certainly better to recruit foreign aid than to do it alone, and based on the analysis of his past deeds, Black Star actually has no ambition to steal the right to rule, and has no intention of unifying the star sea... Of course, people are unpredictable, and this judgment may not be correct and can only be used as a reference. . On the other hand, the three major civilizations have also suffered a lot, and they don’t want to turn against Black Star.”
“Well, I feel a little pessimistic. If there are no new external conflicts, Black Star and the three major civilizations will not be able to fight against each other.” There may be a war in the future of civilization. From the perspective of the entire interstellar society, we have defeated World Tree and harvested the spoils. This is the most powerful stage in history, but the internal conflicts cannot be resolved. Is it possible that we will perish with strength?"
“Stop talking nonsense, the three major civilizations are not really strong. As long as Black Star does not intend to dominate the world, the three major civilizations will still give up their opposition under absolute strategic deterrence and accept Black Star as the ruling circle. As a member of the first layer, two superpowers and multiple strong players may be the new normal in the future.”
The group carefully analyzed the possibilities of the future pattern.
The Star Arc leader listened for a while and pondered: "In this situation, we should find a new way to deal with ourselves... The original agreement was for us to join forces with Black Star to fight against the three major civilizations, but It’s different now. The three major civilizations need to draw us closer to fight Black Star. It’s not appropriate to blindly turn to Black Star.”
“You mean to cooperate with the three major civilizations?”< /p>
"Of course not. What I mean is that we must cooperate with both parties. When the three major civilizations compete with Black Star, we will be a major bargaining chip. The three major civilizations cannot treat us with the same attitude as before. Suppression will naturally be in vain, and the tide will turn. They will lower their heads and beg us to join forces. This time we can really get the opportunity to develop freely through formal channels. Maybe the three major civilizations still want us to become stronger....However, we must allow the situation to form a new relationship of checks and balances, so we cannot easily fall to any party, because only competition can bring profit space, and monopoly and dictatorship by any side will not work. ”
“Well, indeed, not to mention the three major civilizations, Black Star is also a dangerous element and represents individualism. If he comes to power, he will definitely give more privileges to the super class and let him lead. The interstellar society may not be as good as the three major civilizations, and he controls the World Tree, which is also a time bomb. "
Speaking of this, someone suddenly sighed and murmured:
"Black Star, Black Star...such a character is really difficult to deal with. He will always be there. Seeking greater benefits, he will never relax. He is really a person who does big things. If the person leading the Transcendent A Grade group was not such a figure, the three major civilizations might have suppressed them long ago, and how could they have developed to the current level. ”
Hearing this, everyone was a little sad.
Black Star left them with a strong and ruthless image, able to seize every opportunity to expand, even if individual strength is put aside. Everyone is also afraid of such a person... When you can trust each other as a teammate, it is a kind of torture to change back to a competitor.
...
The Interstellar United Army defeated the World Tree. The news of civilization was temporarily blocked by the three major civilizations and Han Xiao. The quantum network base station that controlled the incoming and outgoing data filtered out all information that might leak intelligence.
Because of the fear that the army would be disbanded. It is easy to control, so the victorious interstellar coalition temporarily stayed in the secondary dimension of the battle and rested on the spot. For this order, the various units were relatively cooperative, but they could not always be on standby, so the plan to find third-party lurkers required a race against time.
The player base is not restricted. The event of "The Interstellar Alliance ended the war and the Black Star conquered the World Tree" has already been recorded in "Star Sea Chronicles", and the popularity exploded.
Han Xiao reversed the situation. The heroic appearance of Yggdrasil has flooded all forums. Although many players couldn’t help complaining that they had watched another wave of CGs, they were still very excited to be able to participate in such a big event.
It's just that the player group is only active on the forum, and the messages occasionally spread through communicators are intercepted, so the interstellar society knows nothing about the victory of the Interstellar United Army at this time.
Countless interstellar citizens watched it. The situation that arrived was still at the time when World Tree was evacuating the invaders, and they were still confused about it, and there were different opinions on the Internet.
And the Covenant lurkers who could only collect information from the public network naturally. There is no news of the collapse of the World Tree Civilization, and they are still patiently waiting for the "big move" of the World Tree Civilization, completely unaware that a disaster is coming...
The central star sea, the desolate universe. Somewhere along the way, the secret base of the Covenant lurkers
“I don’t know what actions are being planned over there in the World Tree. There has been no movement for a long time. ”
“I see that the Interstellar Alliance is hurriedly gathering towards the central star sea.The World Tree Civilization is going to take action on the Central Star Sea. "
"By the way, we are also in the Central Star Sea. Will we be affected? Do we need to evacuate? "
In the base, a group of observers gathered together and whispered.
The observer captain hesitated and said: "There is a high chance that the deserted space zone will be targeted by World Tree. Low, no one has visited our place for many years, so it should be safe... However, World Tree may also send people to lurk in and establish some strongholds, so that we also have the risk of being discovered by others..."
"Rudly Actions are more likely to expose you, and other places may be more dangerous, so it’s better to stay. "A team member suggested.
"...Okay, if our base is really discovered, then start the self-destruct program and sacrifice together. ”
The tone of the observer captain was solemn.
These observers who have sneaked into the borders of the three major civilizations are all carefully selected dead soldiers. In order not to be captured and leak the Star Alliance In such a situation, we have long been prepared to commit suicide. The self-destruction device planted is enough to blow up the entire planet and eliminate traces.
"You continue to pay attention to the news. I will sort out the information in this issue. It will be sent to my hometown in a few days. ”
As he said that, the observer captain stood up and was about to leave the room.
Ding!
But suddenly, everyone’s movements changed. It was frozen, as if time had stopped.
There was a fluctuation in the room, and Han Xiao stepped out.
“Hey, it’s a Lorxian. It is exactly the same as the illusion in Daring Seeker, so it seems that we have found the right one. ”
Han Xiao looked at the Observer Captain and his eyes lit up.
In order to avoid long nights and dreams, after returning to the main universe, he directly consumed materials and used Virtual Creation to instantly create A temporary version of the Information State Warning Network was quickly installed and officially launched after setting the parameters.
You don’t need to know, but you will be surprised when you use it. The Information State Warning Network will feedback a lot of abnormal signals. He thought that the entire explored universe was being watched by countless foreign enemies like a sieve, and he was shocked. After some debugging, he found out that this technology could easily produce false alarms when used in serious civilizations, and Yggdrasil could easily produce false alarms. If civilization belongs to a whole, there will be no such problem. This is the difference in technology.
The World Tree Express and the Information State Warning Network are a perfect match. Although the three major civilizations do not have such mobility, they do not have such mobility. The high-dimensional Apocalypse transmitter can also be regarded as a substitute, so Han Xiao did not delay for many days.
After some screening and adjustment, he eliminated most of the false alarms and confirmed some real external signals. Most of them came from secondary dimensions.
Han Xiao visited several signal areas and only now came to the base of the Star Alliance lurker. He immediately confirmed that this was the real owner. The process was smoother than he expected. Many, he took control of the entire base and all the enemies before showing up.
"Let me see your background. ”
Han Xiao's eyes lit up with lightning, and the shadow of the World Tree appeared behind him.
As the World Tree merges into the inner space and is contaminated by Han Xiao's power, the entire tree body transforms into a bright blue flashing with electric arcs, and only a few translucent and slender roots like electric whips are shot out. , penetrated the chests of everyone present.
The next moment, the figures of this group of observers became illusory at a speed visible to the naked eye, and waves of energy were transmitted into Han Xiao's body along the roots.
With the World Tree in hand, Han Xiao has no idea of interrogating these people. As long as these lurkers are transformed into members of the World Tree, he can directly obtain all the information from the other party’s memory and transform them into Become a "leading party" and imitate Yggdrasil's methods.
Not long after, these Covenant observers merged into the roots. Han Xiao snapped his fingers, and several roots arched up like snakes, and puffed out a large flash of lightning. The broken light re-condensed into the bodies of several people, with respectful expressions.
Han Xiao squinted his eyes and took in the memories of this group of people, which contained a lot of information about the Star Alliance.
"So that's what happened? The Star Alliance has been lurking for many years... Well, this civilization doesn't seem to be very powerful, relatively speaking."
Han Xiao pondered to himself. .
The third-party enemy has been found, but how to deal with it still needs long-term planning. We need to discuss with the three major civilizations to see whether to destroy the Covenant or let it be incorporated into the explored universe... After all, the Covenant Although it is not strong, it is at least up to the standards of a cosmic-level civilization. The vitality of the three major civilizations is seriously damaged, and the cost of starting another war must be considered.
The three major civilizations were targets of invasion before, but now that they have the opportunity, they definitely wouldn’t mind seamlessly switching roles and becoming invaders. After all, the cause was the Star Alliance's manipulation of troubled waters behind their backs, and they were far from innocent. Of course, they would blame part of the losses caused to the three major civilizations by the full-scale invasion of World Tree on the Star Alliance.
Han Xiao took back his mind, looked at a group of Star Alliance lurkers, thought about it, and said:
"You can continue to lurk first, and keep in touch with the Star Alliance, without my instructions. , just don’t mess around.”
“Understand, we will do our best to help you steal the Star Alliance’s information!”
Many lurkers are enthusiastic.
‘…Well, with the mechanism of World Tree, who would believe him if he said he wasn’t a villain? ’
Seeing these former Star Alliance warriors burst out with enthusiasm to deal with the Star Alliance from the bottom of their hearts, Han Xiao felt inexplicably, shook his head, turned around and disappeared.
......
Not long after, Han Xiao brought the news of the arrest of the third party to the joint office of the three major civilizations.
"You are really right. There is really a third-party force involved, and it has been lurking for so long. If it weren't for the Information State Warning Network, it would be difficult for us to discover it in the future..."
The three of Mabrus looked at the information brought by Han Xiao, their expressions kept changing, sometimes angry, sometimes happy.
The evidence is in front of them. They basically believe that the inner ghost is not Super Star Cluster.or other allies.
After browsing the information on the Star Alliance, the three of them discussed quietly for a while and reached a consensus.
“The Covenant is far away from us, but after we get the space coordinates, we can use the high-dimensional Apocalypse transmitter to transmit the troops there, just like the World Tree civilization dealt with us, so we have the initiative ...We tend to defeat the Star Alliance and treat it as a vassal, but we should stay put for now. We have just experienced a war and need some time to recuperate."
Han Xiao raised his eyebrows, " How long are you going to rest for?"
Louis muttered: "It depends on the situation...but time is on our side. Although the information about defeating the World Tree civilization cannot be sealed forever, you have already controlled the lurking of the Star Alliance. They can completely use them to pass on false information and fabricate war situations to make the Star Alliance think that we are still fighting a bloody battle with the World Tree Civilization."
"The premise is that the Star Alliance has no other means to monitor the interstellar society..." Han. Xiao paused, spread his hands and said, "But with the Information State Warning Network, this possibility should be eliminated."
"Anyway, try not to alert the snake." Mabrus said in a deep voice.
Han Xiao nodded, thought for a while, and suddenly said:
"The association and I will not accompany you in the battle to invade the Star Alliance. You can deal with them on your own. I will only Responsible for the spy information."
The three people's eyes flashed, but they did not immediately express their opinions. They quickly analyzed the advantages and disadvantages in their minds.
In this World Tree War, the three major civilizations did not get any benefits. The World Tree civilization was packed away by Black Star. They ate meat but did not give them soup. They even had the shadow of technology and resources. They didn't even see that if they could annex the Star Alliance, they would actually gain some benefits.
If Black Star does not participate in the war, then there will be no sharing of spoils - Han Xiao has mastered the World Tree and is first-class in robbing resources, and the three of them have to be afraid.
Without the assistance of the Transcendent A Grade Association, the war will be more troublesome, but their three major civilizations are not vegetarians. They cannot defeat World Tree, and they cannot defeat a mere Star Alliance.
But the concern of the three people is that Black Star or Super Star Cluster take advantage of the war with the Star Alliance to backstab them, which is very risky...Who knows if Black Star has such a plan?
For a while, the three of them were entangled, and they were playing nesting dolls in their hearts.
Han Xiao glanced at them, guessed what the three of them were thinking, and curled his lips.
He helped the three major civilizations just because he was always thinking about the disasters in his previous life and wanted to resist the World Tree.
Do you still want me to help your three major civilizations expand their territories?
It would be nice if I don’t replace you, just be content, you stinky brother!
Now that the threat has finally been resolved, the interstellar society has been able to enjoy stability for many years, and Han Xiao is satisfied.
Since its arrival, World Tree has been the Sword of Damocles in Han Xiao’s eyes, the biggest psychological shadow and the source of anxiety. For a long time, it can only be onePeople keep this secret and work hard to solve it, using any means, not daring to relax, and the pressure is difficult to express to outsiders.
After persisting for hundreds of years, the threat from the interstellar society was finally lifted. He no longer had to worry about the safety of himself and his friends. He was relieved and wanted to retreat behind the scenes and truly relax for a while.
