Chapter 1423 Hidden Variable
Han Xiao didn't continue to stare at the Hub Serpent. He left an observer mark and summoned two apostle weapons and a bunch of elite mechanical soldiers as bodyguards before taking it back to the outpost and informing the leaders of the three civilizations.
Upon learning about the Hub Serpent's situation, the three civilization leaders were overjoyed. They couldn't bother to supervise the frontline battle, so they immediately ordered the expeditionary force to cooperate with the King of Unrestrained Sky to nurture the Hub Serpent larva, provide strict protection, and treat the Hub Serpent's ability as a top secret.
The Hub Serpent larva showed strong vigilance towards the outside world, but it was at the time when it was eager to ingest more nutrients. When the King of Unrestrained Sky reluctantly took out a new sub-dimension to feed it, the Hub Serpent calmed down a little and buried its head in frantically collecting dimensional energy, obediently eating.
Han Xiao didn't leave immediately but stayed here for a while, trying to communicate emotionally. However, the Hub Serpent always ignored everyone else, so he had to temporarily give up the idea of increasing his favorability.
After staying in the sub-dimension world for seven or eight days, the frontline battle also had results. World Tree suffered another defeat, and the Shining World's border defense circle once again repelled the enemy, and the two sides continued to stalemate.
The results of this battle were publicized by the three civilizations. The great victory on the individual mighty force level was emphasized, and the interstellar citizens were overjoyed, their sense of security greatly increased, and their confidence in the war was improved to a certain extent.
The frontline battle report also reached the Covenant Organization, causing amazement among many Covenant Resurrectors.
"The strength of the Beyond Grade A Association is getting stronger and stronger. They don't even need to use their full strength to kill a Tree King."
"You can see that they are much stronger than they were ten years ago. It's really not easy. Alas, I also want to participate in Black Star's training."
"Unfortunately, we can't easily expose ourselves..."
Many Covenant Resurrectors looked complicated and sighed in their hearts.
These Resurrectors who were living in seclusion in the Covenant Organization had never appeared in the outside world and were still unregistered. Although they had reached a combat agreement with Han Xiao to take action when necessary, they had not been conscripted. For the past ten years, they had to continue to hide their existence in the Covenant and did not publicly participate in the training.
Some of them originally wanted to participate, but Han Xiao did not allow them to be exposed, so these people had to give up and lost this opportunity, and they couldn't help but regret it... Knowing that they would have to participate in the war sooner or later, they might as well have chosen to come out of the mountains with the Resurrectors of the same period from the beginning.
"Hey, Oathkeeper, when can we participate in the war?" someone couldn't help but turn his head and ask.
The Oathkeeper was expressionless and said coldly:
"Don't ask me, I don't have the final say."
"Then urge Black Star more, otherwise what's the use of you?"
"..."
The Oathkeeper took a deep breath to calm down.
Since Black Star advanced to Beyond God grade, his position as the leader of the Covenant Organization has become a mere formality, and most decisions have to be referred to Black Star, unable to be decided independently.
What's even more excessive is this group of snobbish Covenant Resurrectors. When they first resurrected, they were grateful to him and called him "Honey," but now that a new generation has replaced the old, this group of people has all become Black Star's simps, not taking him, the nominal leader of the organization, seriously. It's really infuriating.
However, Black Star is the only Beyond God grade in the current interstellar society, so what can he do... The Oathkeeper has extinguished the idea of competing with Black Star, his position as a younger brother is becoming more and more stable, and he obediently accepts reality.
At this time, a Covenant Resurrector rubbed his hands and pondered: "Black Star has brought such a big advantage to the three civilizations. According to the current situation, we may not even have a chance to take action. Relying solely on the Association and the civilization's direct descendants is enough to solve the enemy's high-level combat power... With Black Star's personality, if he can suppress the enemy, he may continue to hide our existence and treat us as a trump card."
"That makes sense, so doesn't that mean we can get Sanctuary resurrection opportunities for free in the future?"
Everyone's eyes lit up.
…
Sub-dimension world, World Tree territory.
Countless World Tree clansmen gathered here, and every spaceship exuded a shimmering green light.
"The search legion is ready, please give your instructions."
On the bridge of the main ship, Secret Tree King was reviewing the troops. The executive officer next to him walked over quickly and reported in a low voice.
Secret Tree King nodded and said casually: "Now that everyone is here, let's set off."
In order to search for the Mother Tree's nemesis, he specifically came to the sub-dimension world to preside over the overall situation and spent a few days gathering a large number of clansmen.
Although the nemesis was only born not long ago and the Mother Tree's induction was very vague, the World Tree's power in the sub-dimension world was very strong, with countless troops stationed there, and there were enough people. They were not afraid to spend time searching for a needle in a haystack.
At this time, Secret Tree King remembered one thing and sneered:
"By the way, the enemy seems to have been searching for the Mother Tree's main body. Solve this matter together. Capture the enemy's team and obtain their intelligence."
"Understood."
The order was quickly passed down, and the search legion composed of World Tree clansmen set off, turning into streams of light and fleeing in all directions.
Looking at this scene, Secret Tree King narrowed his eyes, raised his palm, and the misty mana flickered between his fingers.
He decided to take action personally this time. If he was lucky enough to encounter the enemy's fleet in the sub-dimension world, he would not let any member of the three civilizations escape.
…
Explored universe, a desolate cosmic belt.
A small spaceship slowly landed on a barren planet. The ground automatically cracked, revealing a section of the docking orbit.
The spaceship successfully connected to it, slid along the orbit, and disappeared into the dark hole. Soon the hole closed again and restored its camouflage.
After sliding in the darkness for a while, the spaceship stopped and arrived at a secret underground base.
The hatch slid open, and a figure walked out.
On the other side, another person was already waiting on the platform. When he saw the person coming, he said in a deep voice:
"How is the situation outside?"
"Another Tree King was killed. The three civilizations and the World Tree are in a stalemate. According to this trend, the World Tree will not be able to break through the border defense circle for a long time and will not be able to make substantial progress."
"Is that so... It seems that the three civilizations are still very tenacious. With Black Star around, who will win and who will lose is still unknown."
"Now the World Tree's biggest weakness is the lack of intelligence. If they get enough intelligence, the battle will inevitably change drastically... What did the superiors say?"
"The superiors have issued instructions, asking us to find a way to provide the World Tree with information about the interstellar society while hiding ourselves. The most important thing is to provide the coordinates of the various star fields under the jurisdiction of the three civilizations so that the World Tree can obtain a detailed strategic map... The Star Alliance has also agreed to this operation. They have always wanted to eradicate the threat of the three civilizations. After quietly observing for so long, they have finally waited for an excellent opportunity to kill with a borrowed knife."
"Hoo, I can't remember how many years I've been lurking here. I can finally take revenge... The three civilizations should pay the price for what they did back then!"
The two spoke in a grim tone, harboring strong hostility towards the three civilizations.
