Chapter 1357: War of attrition and disadvantage

After receiving news from Han Xiao that the World Tree was suspected of launching a new offensive, the three major civilizations began to intensively prepare for the war, and a group of standby troops stationed in the rear were mobilized, causing the interception circle to continuously increase.

Because the Son of Destiny did not obtain information on the follow-up actions of the World Tree, the three major civilizations could only wait in full battle and maintain the highest alert level detection force around the clock. The generals at all levels were also tense and did not dare to relax, just like knowing that a knife will meet. He slashed at himself, but I don’t know when the enemy slashed.

Since the range of the interception circle has been expanding, and the laying of the wormhole support network has to continue to expand, the three major civilizations are not sure which area the world tree will attack.

In the blink of an eye, the World Tree has not launched an offensive. The three major civilizations doubted whether this was the timing of the suspected soldiers. The detection device finally reported that a large-scale World Tree fleet entered the beyond-horizon observation area. It is slowly advancing towards the interception circle, and the number of warships is above 200 billion, which is obviously a new wave of invading forces shown by intelligence.

Because of the special observation device provided by Han Xiao, the current over-the-horizon detection range of the three major civilizations far exceeds the control range, which means that it can launch an over-the-horizon attack on the World Tree fleet at a greater distance, indirectly increasing the enemy Fang reached the strategic depth of the interception circle.

After the three major civilizations locked the target, they immediately launched the over-the-horizon fire coverage, and at the same time used the high-dimensional apocalypse teleporter to drop the spontaneously shearing troops in an attempt to consume more enemy forces.

The World Tree Army has withstood a period of indiscriminate bombing, and only then has passed through a large section of strategic depth and reached the edge of the actual control area of ​​the three major civilizations. In front of it is a space-anchored orbital network that seals jumping points.

However, unlike the previous three times, the World Tree Army did not rush to Huanglong in order to avoid being consumed too much force on the road. Instead, it stopped at the edge of the three major civilization control areas and unfolded pieces of Raelbo space protection belts, forming an endless fleet. Isolate long-range strikes, and at the same time arbitrarily divide forces, while cooperating with each other, while sweeping space and anchoring tracks on a large scale.

This time, Sekaiju didn't seem to want a surprise attack, but instead planned to launch a large-scale battle based on a large force.

The fleet that swept the track this time was not a small unit of the previous one. It was larger in scale. The three major civilizations were in a dilemma. Knowing that the World Tree clearly forced them to leave the interception circle fortifications and go out into the field, it would be more efficient to consume troops.

The fortifications of the interception circle played a huge role in the previous few times against the World Tree's strong attack. The most important thing is the wormhole rapid support network hidden in the strategic deep zone in the middle of the layers of defense, which can quickly gather forces to descend on the World Tree's main attack on the interception circle. area.

If you switch to field combat, this advantage will be greatly reduced. Although the high-dimensional apocalypse transporter can also support it, it is a cosmic treasure that is expensive to manufacture. The limited quantity makes the efficiency of large-scale troop transportation not as efficient as conventional wormhole support. aisle.

However, regardless of the sweeping operations of the World Tree fleet, the stable trajectory of space laid these days is uncertain. After some weighing, the three major civilizations still send some troops to try to stop them, and continue to invade the World Tree that resides at the edge of the control zone. Troops, this led to the outbreak of high-intensity local field battles in the control area.

In order to reduce casualties in local battles, the Super A-class individuals of the three major civilizations have been dispatched one after another to play a role in local battlefields, helping their troops fight against the enemy's fleet, and equipped with imperial mechas, which can be withdrawn to the interceptor base at any time. But the world tree powerhouse never appeared, as if not intending to contain the advanced combat power of the three major civilizations.

Although the three major civilizations have won most of the local battlefields with relatively low battle damage, they cannot repair or maintain a stable space trajectory under the situation of the enemy's pressure. The troops just drink poison to quench their thirst.

After fighting in this way for more than a month, the losses of both sides reached tens of billions. The three major civilizations finally decided that they could not prevent the enemy from destroying all the stable orbits in space. They had to throw away this drag, shrink the troops to preserve their strength, and no longer invest. The troop strength is depleted, and in exchange for the strategic depth, the sweeping forces in the long-range strike movement will erode the forces of the World Tree.

The two sides fought fiercely for another period of time. The World Tree Army lasted about three months and finally swept away all the space anchors set by the three major civilizations, liberating the jumping points of all the vanguard regiments in the past half a year, and paid nearly 100 billion troops for this. The price.

On April 6, 784 of the Xinghai calendar, the World Tree forces, which had been stationed on the edge of the mere control zone for several months, finally reopened and attacked the interception circle.

After a period of voyage, the World Tree Army, with only about half of its forces, withstood various harassment, and finally crossed the strategic depth, arrived at the interception circle to try to break through the blockade, and immediately engaged in fierce battle with the three major civilized armies.

The three major civilizations wait for work at ease and have superior military strength. As soon as they fought, they quickly gained the upper hand. According to this trend, they can withstand this wave of offensive and wipe out the hundreds of billions of fleets on the world tree.

However, on the third day of the battle between the two sides, three World Tree reinforcements descended from the point where they were unblocked. A total of 150 billion new forces were thrown into the battle group and attacked in different areas. The pressure on the three major civilizations suddenly increased. While mobilizing existing troops to resist, summoning rear support.

After another five days of fierce fighting, two more World Tree reinforcements dropped into the air, with a total of hundreds of billions.

On the ninth day, the 80 billion-scale World Tree fleet was reinforced.

On the fourteenth day, 140 billion enemy troops were reinforced.

On the twentieth day, 206 billion enemy troops were reinforced.

World Tree’s support forces continue to flow, and the rear will reinforce as much as the front line is dead. Trying to fully utilize the advantage of war of attrition, the wear will also wear through the entire interception circle!

...

"C-1008a war zone is urgent...L-0213b war zone is urgent..."

The scene in the command room was very busy. The spacecraft’s intelligent and emotionally synthesized voice continuously broadcasted the emergency alarms of the war zones. Simon and other high-level officials stared at the real-time battle monitoring, their eyes full of tired bloodshot eyes.

The high-intensity battle lasted for nearly a month, and did not stop halfway through, and none of the surviving generals was exhausted. The battle damage of the two fleets had already risen to the 100 billion level.

On the side, many Super A Grade basic people were injured. These injuries were caused by the World Tree Fleet, and there was no high-level combat power involved.

Sekaiju’s endless reinforcements made the battle situation precarious, and Transcendent A-Class also had to fight against the fleet. This month, it seemed to be a firefighter, stabilizing various local battlefields that were in danger again and again, without much rest and recovery time.

But even so, the contributions of many Transcendent A Grades are only a drop in the bucket for the super-large interstellar battle with a total of more than one trillion warships, and cannot play a decisive role.

Many Transcendent A Grades are worried. Although the World Tree's advanced combat power has not participated in the battle, resulting in no new victims of their own Transcendent A Grade, they are sweating as the three major civilized troops are getting more and more inferior.

Kesuye watched the monitoring of the battle, leaned close to Han Xiao, and whispered: "The World Tree has launched a general offensive, regardless of casualties. The first and second layers of defense have been penetrated, and the enemy’s reinforcements are still flowing. From this look, the interception circle should not be able to hold."

"I guess so."

Han Xiao exhaled, quite solemn, and also exhausted.

The high-intensity war that lasted for a month has completely turned this place into a meat grinder. Even most players have repeatedly used up their daily resurrection quota. In such a place, he can do very little.

Sekaiju didn’t use any special plans this time. It simply relied on its superiority in strength to make it harder and harder. It would drop ten times in one force. If it didn’t break through the interception circle in one day, it would not stop its reinforcements. If one month of continuous combat is not enough, then two months. , Three months... is one word, reckless!

The interception circle could not block the advance of the World Tree once and for all, and was breached sooner or later, but this day seemed to come earlier than expected. From the beginning of its establishment, it only took about a year for the three major civilizations.

"Black Star, we also have to consider evacuation." Kesuye whispered.

Han Xiao ignored him, staring at the battlefield outside.

At this time, the endless battleships were fighting and fighting, the shining light was like star sand in the sky, and the silence was full of destruction, and countless creatures were thrown into the embrace of death every second.

Even if the interception circle forces of the three major civilizations are defeated, their group will have plenty of time to withdraw to the territory without worrying about the way back.

Even if the World Tree passes through the interception circle, it will take a long time to sail to reach the edge of the shining world. However, there is a high probability that the three major civilizations will not be able to replicate a defense line similar to the interception circle, which means that as long as the world tree rushes forward. , It means the countdown to the invasion of the territory by the other party has officially entered.

At this moment, another World Tree fleet entered the battlefield, and the familiar tree king halo followed, immediately increasing the combat power of a large number of World Tree members, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"This is the ability of the tree king... they finally sent out high-level combat power. The three major civilizations are now very difficult to maintain. If the tree king uses the aura at this time, I am afraid it will become the last straw to overwhelm the camel. I don’t know which tree king came this time..."

A solemn color flashed in Han Xiao's eyes.

Not only him, all other Transcendent A Grade eyes locked on the source of the halo, and at the same time tightened his body.
