1411 Lurkers

Unexplored universe, capital of the Covenant.

Severnis walked quickly into the office of the leader of the Covenant.

The leader of the Star Alliance was waiting for his arrival. When he saw him walking into the room, he put down the report in his hand, raised his head, and spoke slowly:

"How's it going?"

"I have already conveyed the instructions, and the lurkers will take action soon." Sevinis said in a deep voice.

"Well, this chess piece has been deployed for so many years, and now it's time for them to play their role." The leader of the Star Alliance paused and changed the topic, "But you must pay attention to the way you provide intelligence. Everything is based on concealing your own existence.

, the three major civilizations and World Tree are all huge threats. If our existence is exposed to their eyes, the cloud of war will also envelope us. With our strength, no matter which one we take on, we will be unable to do it."

"Don't worry, we are now in a relationship where both prosper and suffer losses. We will never make fun of the safety of the Star Alliance." Sevinis solemnly said.

"Well, you have joined the Star Alliance for many years, and we have become one. This action is not only for us to eliminate potential threats, but also for your revenge." The leader of the Star Alliance nodded.

"Yes, we were defeated by the three major civilizations back then, and only a few of our tribesmen escaped. It was almost impossible to continue, and we became a wandering civilization in the universe. If we hadn't encountered the Star Alliance team, perhaps our civilization would have perished long ago.

, to this day, we are always grateful to the Star Alliance for their support over the years."

Severnis bowed his head and spoke respectfully.

When the Lore civilization was defeated, his ancestors gathered the remaining tribesmen, united the scattered sand, and continued it with difficulty. Now, Sevinis has taken over the authority of his predecessors and is the current leader of the Lore civilization.

The history of Lore civilization is quite ancient. It was once a member of the explored universe and one of the competitors in the exploration war. Unfortunately, it lost in the war, the civilization was shattered, and their homeland fell. Only a handful of survivors escaped in spaceships.

, because he was worried about being exterminated, he resolutely entered the unexplored universe, traveled far away, and became a cosmic wanderer.

After many twists and turns through wormholes, this wanderer happened to arrive at the territory of the Covenant.

The Star Alliance is a large-scale joint civilization composed of forty-six civilizations. It is entrenched in a corner of the unexplored universe and thrives silently. They picked up this wanderer by chance. The information carried by the Lore civilization immediately aroused their attention.

highly valued.

This is the first time that the Star Alliance has learned about the existence of powerful civilizations outside the territory. The intelligence provided by the Lore civilization shows that the strength of the three major civilizations is enough to destroy the entire Star Alliance. This has aroused strong fear and vigilance in the Star Alliance... In their eyes, the three major civilizations are powerful enough to destroy the entire Star Alliance.

The great civilization may bring disaster to the Star Alliance at any time, and annexing them is a huge hidden danger, making it difficult for them to sleep and eat well.

Facing a strange and powerful civilization, the Star Alliance did not dare to reveal its existence and communicate with the other party, and could only observe silently. Under normal circumstances, the Star Alliance would be helpless even if it knew that a powerful enemy was on its side, but the Lohr civilization provided a way.

When the wanderers fled their hometown, they brought a large number of coordinate records with them. This was a priceless asset and allowed the Covenant to see an opportunity.

Based on this information, the senior leaders of the Covenant finally decided on a strategic operation called "Observer Plan", sending lurkers to the explored universe through wormholes, hiding their names, collecting intelligence, waiting for opportunities, and monitoring the three major civilizations.

Every move.

The three major civilizations do not have an information-state warning network like World Tree. Due to its huge territory, there are always loopholes in external screening and warning mechanisms. As long as outsiders operate it properly, they can successfully lurk. This was how World Tree lurked for many years in the previous life.

, collected enough intelligence, and then launched a territory-wide raid to defeat the three major civilizations.

The Star Alliance is self-aware and does not feel that its small body can withstand the ravages of the three major civilizations, so it allows the lurkers to only be responsible for observation, not to carry out other actions, and not to participate in any forces. They are just like the lowest-level interstellar gangsters.

At first, he only collected public information on the Internet and did not seek any secrets. He was very cautious, so he was able to hide it until today, and secretly witnessed the development of the three major civilizations one era after another.

After the Lore civilization accepted repeated inspections by the Covenant, it eventually became a new member of the Covenant and was able to reproduce. It never forgot its history and always thought about revenge. It vigorously cooperated with the "Observer Project" and helped the Covenant explore the universe.

Lurking is the true leading party.

This time the three major civilizations were invaded by the World Tree, which gave the Covenant the hope of eradicating the threat. They themselves could not defeat the three major civilizations, so they just added fuel to the flames and drove away the tigers and devoured the wolves.

The head of the Star Alliance rubbed the back of his hand and muttered: "We use the help of World Tree to eradicate the three major civilizations, but World Tree itself is also a new threat. The ideal situation is that they both lose and we take advantage."

Severnis nodded heavily, "The technological level of the three major civilizations is very high. If we can annex their civilization achievements, we will enter the fast lane of development."

"However, this is very risky and may expose ourselves. We need to consider it in the long term... If there is an opportunity, we cannot miss it."

The head of the Star Alliance's eyes flickered. He naturally coveted the scientific and technological achievements accumulated by the three major civilizations. Although the risks were high, the benefits were equally attractive.

The three major civilizations have now stabilized the situation and blocked the World Tree. This is not what the Star Alliance wants to see. It is in line with their third party to destroy the good situation of the three major civilizations and introduce war into the entire interstellar society and make the situation chaotic.

Interests.

The leader of the Star Alliance did not mind taking advantage of the situation and secretly participated in this gluttonous feast while hiding his origins.



Secondary dimension world.

An expedition team from three major civilizations is traveling in the secondary dimension, recording the dimensional coordinates.

"This place is not far from the dimension of World Tree's stronghold. Familia may appear at any time. Please brace yourself and be ready to shuttle and evacuate at any time."

In the bridge, the commander stared at the radar seriously and spoke in a serious tone.

Over the years, as the expeditionary force's explorations have gone deeper and deeper, the chances of encountering the World Tree Familia have become more frequent. Fortunately, they ran fast enough, and most of the time there was no danger.

But always avoiding danger is not a problem. The search network of the Familia is very dense, and the expeditionary force does not want to conflict, so they all go around, so the exploration progress is getting slower and slower, and there are not so many loopholes to exploit.

"If this continues, we don't know when we will get results. The World Tree has arrived on the mainland, and we don't have much time..."

The commander sighed inwardly.

"woo woo woo woo"

Suddenly, the radar sounded a piercing siren, like a thunderous explosion, which scared everyone.

I saw that the dimensional barrier not far away suddenly opened a honeycomb-shaped crack, and green streams of light shuttled through it.

"It's the World Tree Familia! Get out!"

The commander's expression changed and he immediately gave the order.

The expedition team immediately turned around and locked the preset evacuation route plan. The shuttle engine buzzed for a while, then turned into a stream of light, instantly leaving this dimension and escaping to another secondary dimension.

However, before the expedition team could stop, the radar alarm sounded again, the space crack opened again, and another World Tree Familia rushed towards them.

"This was a premeditated attack!"

The commander reacted immediately, with a heavy expression on his face, and directed the fleet to continue escaping without stopping.

The fleet continuously traveled through five secondary dimensions, with the World Tree Familia following closely behind each place, as if they were herding sheep.

Suddenly, the commander stopped running away, took a deep breath, made up his mind, and said in a deep voice:

"Prepare to blow yourself up."

Hearing this, the crew members on the bridge were shocked. They did not speak or object, but silently started the self-destruction procedure.

The soldiers of the three major civilizations are not like World Tree who can resurrect at will. Without the protection of the underworld, death is a real death. All expedition teams are mentally prepared when they go out. If the situation is not right, they will sacrifice the entire fleet and act decisively.

Self-destruction and death for the country.

The stabilizer of the energy core disintegrated, and the out-of-control psionic energy tended to expand, projecting a strong light.

"It's an honor to work with you. May the empire last forever."

The commander glanced at the many crew members with firm faces, saluted as a military salute, then looked out the porthole at the Yggdrasil pursuers who had just arrived, closed his eyes slightly, and prepared to face his own death.

Buzz

However, at this moment, everything froze in an instant, all crew members were unable to move, the progress of the self-destruction process stalled, and the out-of-control psionic energy stopped for a moment.

The figure of the Secret Tree King appeared in the cabin unknowingly, looked at the determined faces of everyone, sneered, and said:

"It's quite strong, but it's a pity that I'm here in person, so it's useless no matter how determined you are."

The Secret Tree King maintained the spell effect of stopping time and space. With a gentle rub of his palm, the power of the green tree king spread out and turned into a gap in space. A python-like root of the World Tree protruded from it and penetrated the expedition team at once.

All battleships, and more tiny tree tendrils branched out, inserted into the bodies of all crew members.

Immediately afterwards, these roots were like straws, constantly absorbing the essence, and at the same time transforming the team at the information level, turning them into one of themselves. The expedition team was slowly integrated into the roots of the world tree, just like

Sinking into the deep sea.

This process lasted for a long time before the World Tree sucked the entire expedition team in, and then spat it out again with a flash of light, but it was different from before. All the crew members were flowing with green light.

Was transformed into a member of World Tree.

"Your Excellency, Tree King."

These soldiers who originally came from the Red Empire all lowered their heads and saluted respectfully.

The Secret Tree King ignored them, and his mind sank into the spiritual network, sharing the memories of these people and the flight log of the spacecraft.

After browsing for a while, the Secret Tree King's eyes flashed with a playful expression.

"Oh, I turned out to be hiding here and found your lair."

At this moment, the Secret Tree King's mind suddenly moved, he noticed some peculiar changes, and looked into the distance.

"Predict me? I don't know whether I will live or die."

There was a cold look in the eyes of the Secret Tree King, his gestures changed, and mana surged out, hitting the source along the mysterious induction.

At the same time, somewhere on Long Calm Floating Island.

"puff!"

Aesop was feeling the sudden passive foreknowledge, and his mind was suddenly shaken. His brain seemed to have been hit suddenly, and he fell to the ground exhausted, with a look of shock on his face.

A blast of cold magic shattered the precognitive images in his mind and seriously damaged his spirit.

People who can cause the precognition to backfire are basically magicians. The difficulty of rebounding will also vary depending on the ability of prediction. Aesop’s ability to predict is extraordinary. Over the years, he has experienced countless passive predictions, and has also experienced many times.
