The Legendary Mechanic

Chapter 1403 Changes and Situations

A huge space fortress was suspended in the universe, surrounded by a wormhole jumping base station, and from time to time, wormhole tunnels opened and closed, and a fleet of ships flew out.

Sibert Fortress, located in the Carter Star Cluster on the border of the Shining World, was the strategic command headquarters of the United Star Forces in the Shining World.

In order to fight against the World Tree civilization, the three major civilizations established the United Star Army during the preparation for war, unifying the forces that had already explored the universe and strategically dividing the major star fields that had already explored the universe into numbered military zones that had been transformed to varying degrees.

For over a decade, the Shining Worlds had been completely transformed, with the five border star clusters hardened to the point of being armed to the teeth with only a myriad of defensive lines and strongholds remaining.

And not only the First United Military Region represented by the Shining World, even the Hinterland Star Cluster was prepared for war.

After all, the situation of the world tree invasion of the homeland was different from the interception circle war, in the interception circle battle, because the rear was a large deep zone, so the worries were limited, but now the shining world behind the convenience of the homeland, can not retreat, have to defend, the pressure is very different.

At this moment, in the top conference room of the Sibert Fortress, countless people were gathered together with solemn faces, not only the various commanders of the United Star Army, but also a portion of the Super A grade association executives.

A three-dimensional projection of a strategic star map shining on the world's border was suspended on the table.

"According to the frontline report, the vanguard of the World Tree is not far from the Shining World border, it is expected to arrive at the outermost defense circle in ten days, the various ministries are ready to face the battle, what are everyone's thoughts?"

As Simon spoke, he manipulated the star map, zooming in on the most frontier areas, marking out a location that represented the most likely to suffer the first wave of the World Tree's impact.

Although the World Tree only had one pointing coordinate, it wouldn't just take one route, splitting into a large number of vanguards that went all the way around different arcs, eventually invading the Shining World from different directions, except that the three civilizations had already anticipated this situation and had already made the Shining World into a barrel of iron.

"We've been preparing for this day for over a decade, isn't that why we're fighting."

"That's right, the preparations and discussions that should be done have been done for more than a decade, the next step is to test our results."

"The World Tree's current actions haven't deviated from our predetermined situation, just act according to the strategy, and then adjust randomly when they actually hit in."

Many officers spoke up, warily.

Simon nodded and turned to look at Han Xiao, "What do you think, Sir Black Star?"

Han Xiao held his palm to his cheek and intoned, "We're solid and clear, the world tree can't snowball for the time being, so they won't be adventurous, 80% of them will steadily establish a bridgehead base in the border area, stabilize the jump point, and prepare for a protracted war with us."

His appearance hadn't changed at all from more than a decade ago, and with his superhuman lifespan, this little bit of time couldn't leave a mark on him at all.

"Good." Simon agreed.

"So the time to test endurance has come, the war of attrition is the inevitable way to go, let's see who can handle it and see if we get fucked first or if the World Tree itself is the first to find us." Han Xiao shrugged his shoulders.

Currently, the World Tree's transmutation mechanism was still unresolved, and Han Xiao felt that the Superdimension should have the power to attack information states, but it was never unlocked, which could only be attributed to the fact that certain pre-conditions had yet to be met.

The secondary dimensional expeditionary force had made some progress over the years, and although it hadn't found the World Tree itself, it had figured out the World Tree's sphere of influence in the secondary dimension, and had had many encounters with the opposing garrison.

Fortunately, with the blessing of Harrison's aura, they didn't expose their own coordinates and had a safe encounter, except that their actions were finally noticed by the World Tree civilization, and a group of dependents were currently searching for the expeditionary forces of the three major civilizations in the secondary dimension.

However, this was inevitable, the World Tree itself was being guarded by countless dependents, and the closer the expeditionary force got to the main body, the easier it would be to trigger an alert, and it was basically impossible to find the World Tree itself without alerting any guards. It was the same in his previous life, the team that spontaneously searched for the World Tree itself was chased by World Tree dependents all over the world, and in the end, it was Harrison's luck that burst through the alert net.

"So when is the Super-A Association planning to enter the war?" Simon asked.

"They can go to war at any time, but not me." Han Xiao narrowed his eyes, "I won't do anything until the World Tree sends a Tree King again."

His own advancement to the Super God level was still a secret to the World Tree, he wanted to take this opportunity to make a surprise attack and seal a tree king again, if he rashly showed up to fight the skirmishers, he would 80% scare the tree king away from emerging, then he would be caught off guard.

He didn't want this cannon of his to fight mosquitoes before he drew out the tree king.

There were no objections, and after some deliberation, they quickly finished the meeting and went offline to separate and prepare.

Han Xiao turned off the remote projection and returned his sight to the plaza of the training base, in front of a black crowd where all the training trainees were gathered, all gazing at him.

"As you all know, the World Tree is about to invade, the training will end today, it's time for you to use what you have learned."

Han Xiao said as he scanned the crowd.

These ten years of high-pressure training, coupled with his own guidance, had promoted the birth of a new batch of Super A's, and the number of them was considerable, over forty, except for the Exploration Calendar, there was no other period in history where Super A's were born so frequently.

Among them, the members of the Black Star Legion accounted for nearly half of them, Jordina advanced smoothly, Ni Ao Tian also stepped into the Super A rank half a year ago, and even Lucky, the salty fish, was also successfully promoted.

Carrot even advanced to Super A class earlier, but Han Xiao didn't let him show up, still receiving special training and continuously accumulating comprehension, striving to re-trigger the [Martial Promise] and quickly soar to the peak of battle power.

The many training trainees stirred for a while, and suddenly, as if they had an appointment, they all brushed towards Han Xiao and saluted.

Regardless of whether or not they had advanced to Super A rank, whether or not they were members of the Legion or not, the crowd was now solemn and said in unison.

"We thank His Excellency Black Star for his ten years of teaching, and we remember this kindness to our hearts!"

Regardless of Black Star's motives for this move, at least they knew how much benefit they had received over the past decade or so, and their gratitude for Han Xiao at this point was heartfelt.

Han Xiao frankly accepted it and waved his hand, "Report to the troops."

The crowd saluted once more and walked up to a ship that had already been prepared, transforming into a stream of light and disappearing from everyone's view.

At that moment, Kesuye came up from behind and sighed.

"I wonder how many of these natural disaster-class seeds will survive the next meeting."

"We've given our chances, and we can't blame anyone else for not being able to get a Sanctuary entrance ticket in more than a decade."

Han Xiao shook his head.

Kesuye nodded, "We should also report, remember to get Aurora back, we don't have a clear mind if we can't see her people."

"Got it."

Han Xiao nodded and watched the many members of the Super A Class Association leave.

In comparison, the many Super A's were less nervous, with the Black Star's Sanctuary Recovery behind them as a base, their little lives were guaranteed.

After more than ten years of training, many of the Super A's had also made some progress, and Han Xiao had found them from time to time to cut their teeth, and had also scavenged some abilities from some of them.

Only after sending everyone away did Han Xiao put on the Emperor and teleported to the Residual Soul Endlands.

As soon as he arrived, Hera, Aurora, and Fortin, who were in closed-door training, became aware of him.

"You're here?"

Hela stopped absorbing soul fragments, and her body rippled with an inexplicable aura that was very strong.

"You've progressed quite a bit over the years." Han Xiao looked at her with a satisfied expression.

The Residual Soul End Land was the treasure ground for Hera and Fording's leveling, and after more than a decade of retreat, Hera had managed to step into the peak Super A class, which was also considered an open-ended speed in history, and her battle strength had increased greatly, steadily stepping into the first echelon.

Fuddin had used the Soul Transfer Instrument to absorb an unknown amount of soul energy, and had also steadily reached a high level of Super A level.

As for Aurora not being able to utilize the resources of the Residual Soul Endlands, but having received special training from Hella Love, her abilities had also increased, and although not as good as the two perverts Hella and Fortin, it was still quite good.

"You've come to find us back, count the days, it's almost time for the World Tree to arrive." Hela's gaze flashed with battle intent, "Finally, we can meet the Tree King for a while."

Han Xiao didn't pay any attention to this battle fanatic and turned his head to Aurora, "You're our core, are you ready?"

"Don't worry, I'll never miss this time!"

Aurora squeezed her small fist and looked determined.

Although that spring dream had brought her back to this day, she had vowed not to get caught again and get her companions into huge casualties.

Han Xiao smiled and rubbed her head, looking at Fortin again and jutting his head.

"You're already a high-degree Super A-rank, using this power to boost the Spirit Transferring Instrument is enough to cause a wide range of killings to World Tree members, you have a lot of room for this."

The Transcendental Instrument was a group battle weapon, no less powerful than the Pyloric Wave, and also a treasure against the military, when he was inconvenienced, Fortin was just able to replace him and cause widespread killings to numerous fleet crew members.

"I understand." Vordin fondled the mirror of the soul transfer device and nodded lightly.

He didn't like killing, but he also divided situations, and he would also not be soft on an aggressor like the World Tree.

Han Xiao instructed everyone to say a few words and put on another set of emperors, teleporting to the Underworld and seeing Evans at once, as well as the foreign gods who were teaching him combat techniques on the side.

Upon seeing Han Xiao, Evans immediately stopped his practice and welcomed him.

Han Xiao didn't have any pleasantries and opened the door, "The World Tree is calling over, you and I will go to rendezvous together."

"Good." Evans nodded steadily in a heartbeat.

The foreign god paced over with his hands behind his back and followed, sniffing, "Don't die on the battlefield, I'm still waiting for you to fulfill my dream for me, the sanctuary recovery is good, but if you die once, your ability will be missing, and you'll never be able to step into the super divine level, don't blame me for giving up on you then."

"Don't worry teacher, I don't die in battle that easily."

Evans replied solemnly, his tone containing a steady confidence.

As the saying goes, there is a treasure in the family, and the Exotic God has been gallivanting through the universe for many years with an incomparable wealth of experience, and with all his teaching, Evans has already accumulated a very rich array of combat skills.

When Evans first advanced and obtained the [Energy Manipulation] ability, he was at best an ordinary man with a gun in his hand, but now that he had been taught by the gods, he was like a soldier who had completed all the elite special forces courses, proficient in all weapons, and his combat ability had increased many times.

After more than a decade of being together, Evans had come to consider the Exotic God as his teacher, and although the Exotic God didn't acknowledge it, he didn't reject the title either.

"Come with me."

Han Xiao's eyebrows raised, and without saying more, he teleported away with Evans.

The alien god watched the two disappear with a faint smile on his face.

......

The three civilizations were preparing for the battle, and as ten days passed, the World Tree vanguard finally reached the border of the Shining World, engaging in a fierce firefight with the outer defense circle.

As expected by the staff, the World Tree invaded from different directions, but all were within the coverage of the defense circle, and battles broke out simultaneously in multiple areas.

In all the battlefields, the individual great powers of both sides maintained restraint, with the Super-A groups of the three civilizations only testing the waters a few times, while the World Tree civilization never sent its Super-A powerhouses to the battle.

With the forewarning of the Heart Tree King, the World Tree had full scruples against the Black Star, and the first wave of tentative attacks didn't use the Super A class.

In the first confrontation after more than a decade, the three civilizations that had been preparing for the battle for a long time managed to give the World Tree army a head-on attack and didn't let the World Tree set foot on their land, and the two sides were deadlocked at the border of the Shining World.

But even though they had won once, the three civilizations were not happy because this was only the first wave of a test attack, the World Tree did not consume many troops and the situation was still grim.

Just like Han Xiao said, the World Tree was prepared for a long war, and the first thing it did was to build a batch of bridgeheads outside the borders of the Shining World, massing troops and eyeing the situation.

Because the World Tree is marching all the way, jump points are in hand, the three major civilizations are currently unable to replicate the space-anchored orbit of the Interception Ring War, unable to drive away the enemy, they can only defend their territory to withstand the impact of the World Tree's waves, this is the future of the war situation, but also the three major civilizations have been psychologically prepared for the situation, in exchange for the strategic depth of the entire explored universe in exchange for time.
