Chapter 1347 Intelligence Advantage
The interception work was still in full swing. Since the enemy only brought one World Tree envoy, the other interception forces did not encounter any individual powerhouses. Thus, only Kexiu'e had taken action once. The other Super-As did not have a chance to move and had been waiting in the main base of the interception zone.
Inside a partitioned area of the war room, nearly a hundred Super-As gathered. Some were monitoring the situation, some were resting with their eyes closed, some were handling affairs, some were chatting casually, and some were even playing cards in this serious setting, which was simply outrageous.
"Speaking of which, it's been a while since our two groups sat down and chatted together," Kant said with some emotion as he looked at the Three Great Civilizations' direct descendants sitting upright.
When the Three Great Civilizations targeted the association, Han Xiao did not allow the direct line Super-As to attend the routine meetings. After the blockade was lifted, various matters had been delayed, and the normal treatment of the Three Great Civilizations' direct line in the association had not been restored. Therefore, the time spent waiting in the main base was a rare opportunity for the association members and the direct line Super-As to sit together and talk.
"Now that everyone is united against the enemy, let's not mention the past for the time being. We were just serving our own masters," Oulu sighed, glancing at Han Xiao, who was in a daze (browsing the forum).
"Hey, don't lump us together with you. You have masters, but we don't. We're all doing it for ourselves," retorted Ri Hunter, curling his lips.
Oulu was silent for a few seconds before changing the subject. "I see that your association members aren't all here. Why didn't the others come?"
"They're still considering," Kexiu'e shook his head.
"You're participating in the war, and they're watching from behind to take advantage? You can accept that?" Oulu raised an eyebrow.
"So you should kneel down and thank us... Damn it, I feel so great when I think about it," Ri Hunter grumbled.
Kexiu'e helplessly explained, "Someone has to set an example. If it weren't for Black Star taking the lead, we might not have come."
At this moment, Clotti, who had been resting with her eyes closed, opened her eyes and slowly said, "Then do you have the determination to die in battle?"
Hearing this, everyone paused and turned to look at her.
Clotti was expressionless, and her tone was calm. "We direct line members are participating in the battle with the determination to sacrifice ourselves. Aren't you egoists afraid of losing your lives? Even if there is the Sanctuary Revival, I believe none of you are willing to spend a chance to be revived and hand over the initiative of your lives to others."
"...You're right. Of course, no one wants to sacrifice if they can live, but we have to personally experience the enemy's strength to be sure. So don't expect us to fight to the death for you. We're just fulfilling a transaction. It's already benevolent and righteous for us to come and help," Mi Zhu responded indifferently.
At this moment, Oulu looked at Han Xiao, who was not participating in the conversation, and said loudly, "Black Star, if we direct line members die, you'll help us revive, right?"
Hearing this, Han Xiao turned his head and glanced at him, speaking succinctly.
He was not familiar with Oulu before, but after getting in touch with him these past few days, this person was indeed easy to deal with, just like what the others said.
"I will."
"Ha, then I'm relieved. If I can leave a corpse behind when I die, please use the Time Amber to make a specimen so that I can take it away after I'm revived, lest others covet my handsomeness and steal my corpse to take home for collection," Oulu joked, but no one laughed.
"Do you think you're very humorous?" Ri Hunter rolled his eyes.
Han Xiao was too lazy to pay attention to the chatting people. He retracted his gaze and continued to browse the forum on his own.
Currently, more than 90% of the player base in the entire universe had come to the front lines. Most of them were eager to try and were looking forward to the start of the war. Their emotions were fiery.
This kind of large-scale war action had always been a good opportunity for players to farm experience. Most legion players participated in the action, which allowed them to obtain experience more efficiently, which was beneficial for Han Xiao to accumulate experience reserves.
However, the player base had not reached the level cap of the version. Their first choice for experience was to level up on their own. Only after reaching the level cap would they have a large amount of spare experience to do other things.
This meant that the efficiency of his harvesting experience would increase greatly when most of the players reached the maximum level. Now was not the fastest harvesting speed.
'It's just a pity that the role of the player base can't reach the level of the previous life...'
Han Xiao was helpless.
The World Tree War was originally a late-stage version. Now, due to the butterfly effect, it had been advanced to 5.0. In his previous life, it was only a mid-stage version. The players had less accumulation of several versions, and the level cap was several tens of levels lower. Naturally, their role on the front line would not be comparable to that of his previous life.
In his previous life, the player base had a high strategic value. The undying suicide squad composed of high-level Super-humans had made great contributions on many local battlefields. Now that this force was gone, it would definitely affect all aspects.
Fortunately, Hela and Aurora's fates had been rewritten by him, and the Underworld should be able to fill this gap.
"Di di di..."
Just as he was thinking, the communicator suddenly rang. It was Oathkeeper's message.
Han Xiao took it out and glanced at it. His expression changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "The World Tree is recruiting army groups. The estimated scale may reach tens of billions. They are preparing to launch a strong attack!"
Hearing this, the chatting in the room immediately disappeared. Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to look over. There were all kinds of expressions, such as solemnity, surprise, and apprehension.
Han Xiao immediately walked out of the partition and shared the information with Simon and the others. The other Super-As also stood up and followed behind Han Xiao. A group of people filed out.
Simon and the other marshals had been monitoring the overall situation outside the partition. When they heard the information shared by Han Xiao, their expressions changed drastically. They hurriedly opened a remote communication and reported the situation to the leaders of the Three Great Civilizations.
The figures of the Three Great Civilizations' leaders appeared on the remote communication screen. The three of them listened to the report, their expressions solemn and nodding solemnly.
"The World Tree Civilization is preparing a strong attack? Understood. We will issue an order to speed up the assembly of army groups to the front line and prepare for a tough battle."
As he spoke, Mabrus let out a breath, his tone carrying a subtle hint of relief.
"Black Star, your news is still very timely this time, buying us a lot of time."
The World Tree Civilization was still in the process of recruiting troops, and their fleet had not been gathered when it was detected by the Son of Destiny and passed on to Han Xiao. This was a huge advantage. The other party would not attack so quickly, so they would have ample time to prepare.
Knowing the other party's next move in advance allowed the Three Great Civilizations to respond in advance. Black Star's intelligence channels had made great contributions more than once, but every time, the leaders of the Three Great Civilizations felt that it was a timely help.
"A fleet of tens of billions is not easy to deal with. Although I provided an intelligence advantage, you are the main force," Han Xiao nodded.
The World Tree Civilization was dispatching tens of billions of warships, which was indeed a considerable formation, but under the scale of a universe-level war, this was not considered a general attack. A scale of tens of billions had not reached the level of being irresistible.
The mobilization capabilities of internal strife and external wars were worlds apart. In the period without foreign enemies, the Three Great Civilizations would control their military forces at an appropriate standard, and would not expand their armies on a large scale to avoid high military expenditures, mainly focusing on the reserves of strategic resources. However, once they fully entered the state of war industry, they would quickly switch to a state of military expansion, and all their military factories would be producing troops day and night, and their military strength would increase every day.
The scale of this wave of strong attacks by the World Tree was not enough for the Three Great Civilizations to immediately abandon the interception circle, unless they could not stop it completely. Otherwise, it was not time to exchange time for space in the strategic depth of the rear.
At this moment, a staff officer stroked his chin and said, "Since the other party is still in the process of recruiting troops, should we try to take the initiative to attack and harass them?"
Hearing this, everyone turned to look at him, then retracted their gazes.
Simon glanced at him and shook his head. "The World Tree's information state alert network covers the entire territory. Encountering them means exposure. What can we harass? Moreover, any troop can quickly shuttle within the territory, almost teleporting. Their mobility is far from what we can compare to. It's a natural ambush circle. Once exposed, we will face countless fleets air-dropping to besiege us. How many of us go will be eaten. "
Another marshal next to him brought the topic back on track and said in a deep voice, "The wormhole rapid support base station has covered the current interception circle. No matter which interception area the World Tree hits, we can start a positional war to prevent the other party from breaking through the surface."
The interception circle was divided into multiple levels, with strategic depth areas of varying distances between different levels. The rapid support base station was a connection channel to ensure that the forces in each area, both horizontally and vertically, could watch out for each other. Whether it was the observation level or the garrison level, the relevant configurations had been completed. No matter where a strong enemy was encountered, the main force could be quickly air-dropped.
As for whether the World Tree's attacking troops would hit the interception circle, it was not a big problem. Although the interception circle was still under construction, it could still be effective even if it was not completely formed. The essence was similar to a race, expanding faster than the enemy's detour. At the same time, the interception troops were constantly deploying space anchoring tracks to eliminate the route coordinates of the exploration teams, causing the opponent's starting point to constantly move backward, trying to return to the original position, resulting in the next time they could only carry out conventional navigation, and always be in the interception circle.
"It seems that the World Tree is not planning to just give us appetizers, but is preparing to serve us a main course... This is the first time I've experienced a universe-level war of this scale," Oulu's eyes flickered.
At this moment, Mi Zhu pinched his fingers and calculated a hexagram. He said expressionlessly, "My death star is flashing."
After saying that, he changed his hand gestures, and waves of magical energy spread out.
Everyone noticed something and immediately looked over with curious expressions.
"What did you just do?"
"I transferred the bad luck," Mi Zhu said calmly.
"Who did you transfer it to?"
"Him."
Mi Zhu pointed at Han Xiao.
Han Xiao looked at the Luck Reduction status on the panel, his face full of question marks.
"Do we have a grudge?"
"No."
"Then why did you transfer the bad luck to me?"
"Anyway, you're not afraid. There's no more room for your luck to decrease."
"..."
The corners of Han Xiao's mouth twitched slightly.
So you're treating me like a trash can? If it weren't for the fact that we have a foreign enemy now, I would have immediately let you know why chrysanthemums are yellow.
