The unexplored universe, somewhere.

A flash of light flashed, and Han Xiao's figure appeared out of thin air in the vast starry sky.

"This is where the exploration team passed..."

After taking a look at the coordinate data, Han Xiao muttered secretly.

World Tree uses all the information of the exploration team as a medium of prediction, which naturally includes the expedition route. Son of Destiny also intercepted the detailed coordinates. Han Xiao borrowed the high-dimensional Apocalypse transmitter, input the coordinates, and transmitted them to the three major

Unexplored areas where civilization has never set foot.

The exploration team passed by here not long ago, and of course they have gone far now.

"According to the navigation coordinates given by the Kunde tribe, the exploration team is sailing this way..."

Han Xiao took out the interstellar locator, calibrated the position, and turned his head to lock in a direction.

With the navigation coordinates, the exploration team is most likely to move forward in a straight line, so it can determine the opponent's course. Although the exploration team is very fast and has gone very far ahead and cannot see any trace, this method is enough for him to pursue.

The arc of mechanical power flashed, and the door of the secondary dimension barracks opened, and large numbers of mechanical troops surged out. Han Xiao himself led a troop and pursued along the straight line of the navigation coordinates, while the remaining mechanical troops scattered and went to different directions.

Direction exploration.

On the one hand, it is for insurance, for fear that the exploration team will take a detour, and on the other hand, it is to set up a stargate terminal nearby - the three major civilizations set up a terminal on the other side of the explored universe, so that the two sides can connect in space, and long-distance can be activated

Stargate passage.

This involves the next strategy discussed before departure. Due to the devouring mechanism of the World Tree, the three major civilizations do not want to start a war within their own territory. This is too passive, so they decided to use the Star Gate to transport a large number of troops to this area and explore along the

Build a defensive circle based on the team's sailing trajectory to keep the enemy out of the country, and at the same time block World Tree's subsequent exploration corps, making it as difficult as possible for the opponent to infiltrate.

Between the defense circle and the Glittering World, there is still a large unexplored area as a buffer zone. Even if World Tree breaks through the defense line, it cannot immediately invade the territory of the explored universe. In this way, the three major civilizations can go wild.

Bomb indiscriminately and use strategic weapons of destruction to provide fire coverage, try to eliminate the active forces of the World Tree, and hit the enemy halfway.

These are necessary preparations, but in Han Xiao's view, a full-scale war will not break out all of a sudden. He learned from Babani that World Tree has always been a habit. Even if they find that they have established a defensive circle, World Tree will not

If you attack recklessly, you will most likely take a detour and find a way to sneak into their rear and steal intelligence.

Yggdrasil mainly focuses on aggression, which looks very reckless, but in fact it is not. After Babani's explanation, Yggdrasil's greatest advantages are, first, its endless army, and second, its amazing detection technology, which is its hard power and intelligence capabilities.

Why are we always able to carry out devastating invasions? It is not about relying on hard power, but more about mastering the detailed information of the enemy before the war, understanding the weaknesses, hitting the chicken with precision, attacking his vaginal testicles, entering the soul with one shot, and starting with Tianhu.

While Han Xiao was thinking in his mind, he led the mechanical troops to jump at full power, turning into streams of light and passing through the starry sky. All members were equipped with high-speed jump engines. With the blessing of mechanical power, they were faster than the exploration team.

After immersed in pursuit for an unknown amount of time, the two spacecraft of the exploration team appeared in the radar field of view.

"Sure enough, it's in this direction..."

Seeing the target appear, Han Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. The Child of Destiny was really powerful, otherwise it would not have been so smooth.

The exploration team turned on the shielding device, but they could not avoid his detection, and he would not be easily discovered by a small exploration team.

Han Xiao had no intention of going up to communicate. He waved his hand and asked a group of mechanical troops to go around to the front to deploy space stabilizing anchors, forcing the exploration team to exit the jump mode. Without saying a word, Han Xiao set up long-range weapons and locked the two spaceships.

Not long after, the two spaceships of the exploration team crashed into the trap set by the mechanical troops. They were shaken suddenly, their speed dropped sharply, and they returned to the normal navigation mode. Han Xiao opened fire without hesitation, and a thick stream of high-energy particles was shot from the muzzle.

, swept across the two spaceships.

The next moment, the shields of the two spaceships shattered in the blink of an eye. The hulls melted suddenly and were annihilated without a trace. In an instant, both the people and the ship were killed. Naturally, a small exploration team could not withstand Han Xiao's attack.

.

Seeing that the target was successfully eliminated, Han Xiao shook his head, but he was not happy because he knew that this was just the beginning.

Due to World Tree's spiritual network connection, it is basically impossible to mislead this exploration team. Now World Tree Base Camp must attach great importance to the progress of the exploration team. If anything goes wrong here, World Tree will be able to detect it, which is equivalent to a "host" backup.

With all the data, he can hack the exploration team, but he cannot hack the World Tree itself. The tampering with the data is easily detected, so he can only eradicate the exploration team to buy some time.

Han Xiao did not leave this place immediately, but instead collected the surrounding space coordinates and called out the engineering troops to set up here.

…

At the same time, World Tree Civilization.

"...the exploration team's spiritual network link was disconnected, the team members were killed, and they were all turned into seeds. They were suspected of being attacked."

In the main hall of the Tree King, Tedirion stood under the throne and reported the situation with a surprised tone.

Due to the discovery of prey, World Tree Civilization currently attaches great importance to the progress of the exploration team and has been maintaining spiritual communication with the team. As soon as the exploration team lost contact, the higher-ups noticed it.

"Enemy attack? Was it caused by this unknown civilization? How did they discover the exploration team?"

King Zhenshu frowned slightly.

At this time, the other tree king sitting on the throne next to him laughed and said slowly:

"It seems that this unknown civilization is not simple. It either has special anti-surveillance means similar to the information state warning network, or it has established outposts outside the territory... It is also possible that the escapee discovered by the exploration team was just a trap."

There are five thrones in the main hall, corresponding to the five tree kings. At this time, the three thrones are empty, and only two tree kings have appeared. One of them is the "Tree King" Saint Grace, and the person speaking at this time

One is the "Heart Tree King" Mina Joel, a peak Transcendent A Grade telekinesis master.

After Han Xiao made a big fuss, the World Tree Civilization entered a state of alert, and the Heart Tree King woke up from his slumber. Now there are two tree kings on standby at any time, and the other three tree kings are also distractedly observing the outside world.

At this time, there were several executive officers waiting for orders in the hall. After hearing this, an executive officer asked:

"Trap? Are you saying there is something wrong with the coordinates obtained by the exploration team?"

The King of Heart Tree was noncommittal and said casually:

"The coordinates and information provided by this group of refugees may have been specially forged by an unknown civilization. The purpose may be to lure the enemy deeper and lead outsiders into the trap they have prepared... After all, the universe is so big, we are not the only hunters."

Many executives looked increasingly solemn.

As soon as the exploration team found the coordinates, their back legs were destroyed. They had to be afraid, and their evaluation of this unknown civilization skyrocketed.

In the process of conquering the universe, they have encountered tough situations and seen civilizations that also focus on aggression. They have always maintained due vigilance against such existences.

At this time, Tedirion let out a sigh and said: "Isn't that right? If this is a trap to lure the enemy, there is no need for this unknown civilization to attack the exploration team. This will only alarm others, and they should show weakness."

The Heart Tree King smiled and nodded, speaking slowly:

"Yes, so the possibility of a trap is not high. This unknown civilization should not want to contact outsiders and be afraid of being exposed. But their actions also exposed some situations... After the unknown civilization discovered the exploration team, it directly launched an attack and did not capture anyone alive.

Is his intention a point of doubt?"

Hearing this, many executives' eyes flashed, thoughtfully.

Tedirion pondered: "According to common sense, if a civilization discovers an exploration team of unknown origin, it will most likely capture them alive and try to obtain information..."

The Heart Tree King nodded and said slowly: "That's it, but this unknown civilization did not do this. Maybe it was due to caution, but it is more likely that it has our intelligence and knows that the World Tree has a spiritual network link, so it does not dare to show up.

, for fear of being observed... Think about it, if we didn't understand our psychic network, what is the probability that we would kill an alien exploration team so hastily?"

Tedirion was taken aback and said in a deep voice: "So you are saying that this unknown civilization is probably the hometown of the outsider who stole a lot of our secrets?"

After the words fell, everyone's expressions changed slightly.

The psychological shadow that Han Xiao left on them is not small. It is still fresh in their memory and will not fade away easily. Just mentioning him will make many World Tree members feel stressed.

"All this is just speculation. We have to verify what exactly happened." The Heart Tree King waved his hand and said calmly: "The next step is to locate the coordinates of the exploration team's recent pass and open the wormhole passage.

Send the advance troops there, continue the unfinished exploration, and move towards the navigation coordinates... Regardless of whether it is a trap or not, this is the only clue at present, and we must find out clearly."

"That's what I mean too." King Zhenshu nodded calmly.

"Understood, we will mobilize the fleet now."

Many executives saluted in response.

…

The universe has been explored, somewhere in the central star sea.

Several huge star gate devices lie across the galaxy. At this time, the passage is not open, but a giant ring-shaped mechanical device.

In front of these star gate devices, there is an endless combined fleet suspended. The three legions of the Radiance Federation, the Scarlet Empire, and the Ethereal Religion are clearly distinguished and have been on standby here for a long time.

These star gates are matched with the star gate terminals that Han Xiao took away. As long as Han Xiao completes the terminal connection, a fast channel can be established on both sides.

After learning of the existence of the World Tree, the three major civilizations have been secretly mobilizing their armies. Currently, most of the group armies are on standby and can be dispatched at any time.

When Han Xiao set out to deal with the exploration team, the three major civilizations efficiently recruited a group of mobile troops and were waiting here to set off.

"With Black Star's efficiency, it should be fast."

In the main ship of the Federation of Radiance, Commander Simon played with an elegant nostalgic antique handmade flip pocket watch, looking down at the time from time to time.

The crew members all around had solemn expressions on their faces, and the atmosphere was filled with chills.

At this moment, several star gates outside the window were activated one after another, and a faint blue space vortex emerged in the ring device, dotted with stars, mysterious and unpredictable, leading to the exit at the other end.

Seeing this, Simon closed the watch cover with a snap and put the pocket watch into the breast pocket of his military uniform with an expressionless expression.
Chapter completed!
