Chapter 1333 - Assemble (2/2)
The intercepting zone was already the frontline, and more Beyond Grade As arrived one after another after settling their matters. The number quickly approached a hundred.
At the observation tower of the main base, Han Xiao stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the bright galaxy. He seemed to be thinking about life, but he was actually browsing the forums to see the reactions of the players who had arrived at the frontline.
Just as he was focused on reading the post, he suddenly heard footsteps approaching from afar. Han Xiao closed the interface and looked back. It was Hila and Aurora.
“You guys are here too?” Han Xiao glanced at them.
“Just arrived.” Hila’s expression was calm.
“I knew that with your personality, you definitely wouldn’t miss such a battle.”
Han Xiao shook his head.
He did not force the two sisters to participate, nor did he force them to stay behind. After all, the two of them were Beyond Grade As, and they had to respect each other’s wishes. If they came willingly, he would not stop them. Furthermore, the two sisters were indeed exceptional combatants.
“Since we have to fight the enemy together, we naturally can’t stay out of it. With our current strength, I don’t feel comfortable receiving protection,” Hila said slowly. Han Xiao looked at Aurora. “What about you?”
“Ah? Since my sister is here, I will definitely follow. What if she gets beaten to death? Also, my ability should be very useful.” Aurora smiled.
“She might be safer here than me.” Hila snorted. This was one of the reasons she did not stop Aurora from following her.
“With you around, the safety of the other Beyond Grade As will be guaranteed.” Han Xiao nodded at Aurora.
“Don’t misunderstand, we have other plans. This is a good place to strengthen the Underworld.”
Hila waved her hands.
“This is indeed a good opportunity.” Han Xiao nodded in agreement.
With the Underworld, even if the warriors below Beyond Grade A died, they would have a chance to be reborn. The meat grinder of war had always been a treasure ground for collecting souls. As long as the Underworld could store them, it would not be a problem.
However, the World Tree warriors were bound together, and they would not lose their souls even if they died. They would probably not be able to capture them, and the Underworld would most likely only be able to retrieve the dead warriors from the three Universal Civilizations. Furthermore, Han Xiao did not dare let the two sisters take the risk to capture the members of the World Tree. If the World Tree connection was not broken because of this, the coordinates of the Underworld would probably be exposed. It would not be good if the World Tree followed the clues and attacked the Underworld.
However, this did not affect the strategic importance of the Underworld. In Han Xiao’s eyes, the Underworld had the ability to change the entire situation, and its effect was not inferior to the Sanctum Revival. In some ways, it even exceeded it. It was a pity that Aurora’s powers were not strong enough. If she was allowed to grow for a few decades or even a century, the power of the Underworld would be even higher.
Han Xiao turned back to look out of the window and said in a deep voice, “I have a feeling that the World Tree will not sit back and watch us deploy our defenses. They will probably organize a large-scale attack very soon, and it will be the first time the three Universal Civilizations and the World Tree are fighting a large-scale battle.” “Is this your intuition?” Hila raised her brows.
“No, it’s just a prediction based on the style of the World Tree.” Han Xiao stroked his chin and sighed. “No matter what, you have to protect yourselves. I might not be able to take care of you in this universe-level war.”
“I will take care of myself,” Hila replied calmly.
In the territory of the World Tree Civilization, endless fleets were laid out in the universe, and streams of light were still coming from afar, turning into new troops that integrated into the group, expanding the scale of the army.
The executive officers nodded inwardly.
Once the Heart Tree King decided to launch an attack, they immediately gathered all the armies and waited for orders.
Due to the superior nature of the mental network and the fast movement in the territory, the efficiency of the World Tree Civilization in gathering troops was extremely astonishing. Very soon, they formed a large expedition army with a fleet of eight billion battleships, ready to attack at any time.
An executive officer turned to look at the two tree kings. “Your Excellency Tree King, when will the assault begin?”
The Subduing Tree King did not speak but turned to look at the Heart Tree King.
“The scale is still not enough. Gather more people,” the Heart Tree King said slowly.
“The required scale is…” Tedrian asked tentatively.
“This is the first time we’re fighting, so let’s take this as a greeting. The size of our fleet should be at least fifty billion, or else it will be hardly presentable. If they can’t even withstand such a small attack, then we can adopt more daring tactics in the future.”
Heart Tree King’s tone was so calm that it was as if he was only throwing out a small chip on the gambling table.
However, he paused and said, “Right, we have to consider the possibility of that outsider joining the battle. That person is not easy to deal with…”
