Chapitre 1357. Battle of attrition and weakness
The three universal civilizations received news from Han Xiao that the World Tree was suspected of planning a new attack, and they began to prepare for war. The waiting troops stationed behind the lines were mobilized, causing the intercept force to steadily increase in numbers.
Because the Child of Destiny had not received any information about the subsequent actions of the World Tree, the three universal civilizations could only remain vigilant and maintain the highest level of detection throughout the day. Officers at various levels were also tense and did not dare to relax. It was as if they knew that a knife would pierce them, only it was not clear when.
Due to the expansion of the interception perimeter, the wormhole support network also had to be expanded. The three universal civilizations couldn’t be sure which area the World Tree would attack.
In the blink of an eye, almost a month has passed, but the World Tree still hasn’t launched an attack. Just at the moment when the three universal civilizations began to suspect that this was a trap, a report finally sounded from the detection device.The World Tree Large Fleet entered the surveillance zone and slowly advanced towards the interception circle. The number of warships was more than 200 billion, which clearly indicated a new wave of troop invasion that intelligence showed.
Due to the special observation device that Han Xiao provided, the detection range of the three universal civilizations far beyond their control zone.This meant that they could launch an attack on the World Tree fleet from a greater distance, indirectly increasing the strategic distance between them and their enemies to intercept.
After the three universal civilizations focused on their targets, they immediately activated their over-the-horizon firepower.At the same time, they used the Multi-Dimensional Sky Opening Transportation Device to send out the Space Time Splicing Self-Destruct Team in an attempt to drain more enemy forces. go through most of the strategic depth and arrive at the edge of the territory controlled by the three universal civilizations.In front of them was a network of space anchors that sealed the jump points. However, the World Tree Army was behaving differently from the previous three times. In order to prevent absorbing too many troops en route, they stopped at the edge of the three universal civilizations’ zone of control and extended Lerbo’s Spatial Protection Belt to block long-range fleet attacks.At the same time, they separated and coordinated with each other as they swept through the orbits of the space anchors.
This time, it seemed that the World Tree did not want to launch a surprise attack. Instead, it planned to use a large army as a base from which to start a large-scale battle.
The fleet combing orbit this time around was not the same small fleet as before. It was much larger, and the three universal civilizations found themselves in a dilemma.They knew that the World Tree was forcing them to leave the interception fortifications and go out to fight in the wild, which would make the World Tree army more effective against them. a huge role in blocking the attacks of the World Tree. Most important was the network of wormholes hidden in the middle of the layers of defense lines. This allowed them to quickly gather their forces and arrive in the main area of the blockade.
If this was changed to a field battle, the advantage of the three universal civilizations in this aspect would be greatly reduced. Although the Multi-Dimensional Sky Opening Transport Device could also provide support, it was still an all-purpose treasure that cost a lot to build.The limitation in its use has caused the effectiveness of sending troops in large numbers to be lower than the normal wormhole support channel.

However, if they do nothing about the actions of the World Tree Fleet , the space stabilization orbit they have established over the past few days will be destroyed.After weighing the pros and cons, the three universal civilizations sent part of their forces to try and stop the World Tree Fleet, and proceeded to attack the large troops that the World Tree Fleet had placed on the edge of the control zone. This led to many intense battles in the area of the three universal civilizations.
In order to reduce casualties in local battles, the Supers above Grade A of the three universal civilizations took action one after another to help their troops fight against the enemy fleet. They were equipped with the King’s mechanical suits and could retreat to the interception base at any time. However, the experts from the World Tree did not appear, as if they had no intention of holding back the advanced fighters of the three universal civilizations.
Although the three universal civilizations won most of the battles with relatively few casualties, they were unable to recover or maintain a space stabilization orbit under the pressure of the enemy army and had to be constantly attacked. A short fight back against the advancing troops was like drinking poison to quench their thirst.
After more than a month of fighting like this, both sides lost tens of billions of soldiers.The three universal civilizations finally decided that they could not stop the enemy from destroying all space stabilization orbits, so they had no choice but to shed this burden and withdraw their forces to save them. They no longer invested their troops in a battle of attrition, but changed their strategy to destroy the troops of the World Tree civilization in long-range attacks.
The two sides fought for another period of time .The World Tree Army had finally destroyed all of the space stabilization anchor orbits set by the three universal civilizations after about three months, freeing up the transfer points of all the vanguard troops in the past half a year. They paid nearly one hundred billion soldiers for this.
April 6, 784 AL, the World Tree army, which had been standing at the border of the control zone for several months, finally began to attack the interception circle.
After a period, the World Tree Army, with only about half of its troops remaining, finally crossed the strategic zones created by the three universal civilizations in an attempt to break the blockade. They immediately engaged in an intense battle with the three universal civilizations.
The three universal civilizations were waiting for the enemy to be exhausted, and they also had a numerical advantage. As soon as the battle began, they quickly gained the upper hand.According to this trend, it would not be difficult for them to counter this wave of attacks and destroy the World Tree fleet.
However, on the third day of the battle, three World Tree reinforcements arrived from the nearest jump point, and a total of 150 billion soldiers entered the battle. They attacked different areas, and the pressure on the three universal civilizations increased exponentially.
After fighting for another five days, two more shipments of World Tree reinforcements arrived, totaling hundreds of billions.
On the ninth day, the World Tree fleet arrived Eighty billion trees.
On the 14th day, 140 billion enemy reinforcements arrived.
On the twentieth day, 206 billion enemy reinforcements arrived.
Reinforcements from the World Tree came in endlessly.The more people on the front line die, the more reinforcements will come from the rear. They wanted to take full advantage of the war of attrition by exhausting the entire interception circle!
* * *
—War Front C- 1008a is in an emergency situation… L-0213b’s combat front is in an emergency situation…
The scene in the command room was very lively.The impassive synthesized sound of the spacecraft’s artificial intelligence constantly broadcast emergency alarms in various war zones. Simon and the other senior officers stared at the battlefield surveillance cameras with bloodshot eyes.
The intense battle had been going on for nearly a month and never stopped. All the surviving generals were exhausted, and the losses of both sides had already exceeded one hundred billion.
Almost all of the Supers above Class A were injured on their side. All of these injuries were caused by the World Tree fleet, and there were no fights between experts from either side. The endless reinforcements of the World Tree put the battle in jeopardy, and even the Supers above Grade A had no choice but to fight to counter the fleet.This month, they seemed to have become firefighters – stabilizing the various battlefields that were in danger again and again, without much time to rest and recover.
However, the contribution of many Supers is higher class A was just a drop in the ocean. Many of the Supers above Grade A were also worried.Although the high-ranking fighters of the World Tree did not take part in the battle, without giving a reason for the new Supers above Grade A on their side to show themselves, seeing that the three universal civilizations were becoming more and more destitute, everyone was worried.
Kasuyi looked at the battle monitors and approached Han Xiao. He said in a low voice:
The World Tree launched an all-out attack, ignoring casualties and fighting head-on.The first and second levels of defense have already been breached, and enemy reinforcements are still arriving. From the looks of it, the interception circle won’t last.
I think so too.
Han Xiao sighed heavily with a grim expression. He was just as tired as the others.
A month long high-intensity war had turned this place into a meat grinder. Most players have used up their daily respawn quotas.In a place like this, there was a limit to what he could do.
The World Tree didn’t use any special plan this time. It simply relied on the numerical advantage to fight head-on. If they had not broken the blockade, they would not have stopped sending reinforcements. If fighting for a month wasn’t enough, then they would fight for two months, three months…they could only be described in one word – reckless!
The Circle of Interception could not permanently stop the progress of the World Tree, and sooner or later it would break. However, that day seemed to come sooner than expected. He’s only bought the three civilizations for just over a year since they formed.
“Blackstar, we should also consider retreating,” Kasuyi said softly.
Han Xiao ignored him, his gaze fixed on the battlefield outside.
Countless warships have engaged in fierce combat. The dazzling fires of their cannons were like the stars in the sky, silent and bright, with a destructive aura. Every second, countless lives were thrown into the arms of death.
Even if the troops of the three universal civilizations were defeated, they would still have enough time to retreat.
Even if the World Tree passed through the interception circle, it would still take a long time to reach the edge of the Flickering World. However, the three universal civilizations will most likely not be able to reproduce a defensive line like an interception circle. This meant that the continuous dash of the World Tree civilization could be seen as a countdown timer for the demise of the three universal civilizations.
At this time, another World Tree fleet entered the battlefield. He was accompanied by the familiar aura of the Tree King and immediately increased the combat power of many World Tree members, drawing everyone’s attention.
“This is the ability of the Tree King… They finally sent their high-ranking fighters. The three universal civilizations are unlikely to last much longer.If the Tree King uses his halo at this time, it will probably be the last straw that breaks the camel’s back. I wonder which Tree King came this time…”
Han Xiao’s eyes flashed with unprecedented seriousness.
Not only him, but everyone the rest of the Supers above Grade A also focused their attention on the source of the halo.
