Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1830 - 1023: Charging Straight to the Thirty-Six Gates of the Sea of Star Sand! (Part 2)
Previously on Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf...
That particular moment, captured through a Trace Crystal Ball, had silently transmitted back to the Central Army Camp of the Wolf Pack Civilization.
Beyond the events unfolding locally, the brutal confrontations within the thirtieth clearing of the Sea of Star Sand had already been relayed ages ago to the Wolf Pack Civilization's Central Army Camp.
....
Right now, inside the Central Army Camp of the Wolf Pack Civilization.
All the visuals displayed on the Trace Crystal were being projected here as well.
The staggering sight of the Starry Sky Marauders overwhelming the four Military Groups proved utterly breathtaking.
It formed a raw cosmic warfare tableau, utterly unadorned!
Though the Trace Crystal failed to show the exact number of factions rushing toward the nineteenth clearing, everyone understood that surrounding and pursuing the four Military Groups of the Wolf Pack Civilization demanded at least double their own troop numbers!
Failing that, the attackers' forces had to utterly dominate the four Military Groups in sheer power!
Additionally, the circumstances surrounding Hao Ri Princess came into view!
Compared to the four Military Groups, Hao Ri Princess held a somewhat stronger stance.
Having predicted this development well in advance—indeed, one might say she had engineered this very conflict—how could she possibly overlook it?
Thus, Hao Ri Princess deployed scouts in quantities far exceeding those of the four Military Groups, ensuring she wasn't fully trapped in the thirtieth clearing and could instead wage fluid, evasive battles!
Still, encircling her were forces numbering in the tens of trillions, and these troops' might, while perhaps not matching the Blazing Angel Army Group, certainly equaled or surpassed the Flame Angel Army Group.
This indicated that these weren't the weakened remnants scattered from the earlier ten clearings!
Yet Hao Ri Princess stood not just as the Wolf Pack Civilization's premier emerging talent but also revealed remarkable strategic prowess in warfare.
She consistently employed detached units to lure enemy formations, then seized openings to strike at vulnerabilities and shatter the containment.
As a result, multiple Starry Sky Battleships and elite Peak Venerables got assigned specifically to monitor Hao Ri Princess's core forces, with a fresh encirclement slowly taking shape.
Nevertheless, the veteran warriors of the Hao Ri Clan, under Hao Ri Princess's command, persisted in a grueling standoff.
With her fifty trillion-strong army pushing far into enemy lines, she managed to entangle triple that number of foes!
Without question, should Hao Ri Princess survive this ordeal, she was bound to rise as yet another legendary figure in the Wolf Pack Civilization, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the Charm Fox and Shadow of Plague!
"Wolf Lord, my Cockroach Army Group has fully recovered and is battle-ready once more. I request permission to head out and save the four Military Groups!"
At that instant, within the Wolf Pack's Central Army Hall, the various kings and Military Group leaders had assembled!
Roach Emperor spoke up first, demanding to join the fray!
"Wolf Lord! My Star War Army Group also seeks approval to rush to the aid of the four Military Groups!"
Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly refused to lag behind!
Both served as War Emperors, at the helm of the Wolf Pack Civilization's most celebrated Military Groups.
However, Su Lin observed the scenes on the Trace Crystal, his demeanor remaining as steady and composed as always.
For he had anticipated this turn of events long before.
Hao Ri Princess, that exceptional prodigy, acted as a bold disruptor, delivering a sharp rebuke to the Sea of Star Sand.
So long as the Star Sand Master valued his reputation, some response was inevitable!
Be it a massive gathering at the Sea of Star Sand's thirty-sixth clearing for a climactic clash, or compelling an premature confrontation like the one now!
Su Lin felt no apprehension!
Perhaps the Sea of Star Sand maintained numerous spies embedded in the Wolf Pack Civilization!
Yet the utmost they could uncover was the overt might of the Wolf Pack Civilization; they remained oblivious to how the concealed aces of the Wolf Pack Civilization outshone and outterrified even the visible Military Groups!
Still, the Wolf Pack Civilization could no longer afford its steady pace of military drills!
"Wolf Lord! My Reserve Army Group also asks to enter the fight!"
At present, the leftover Military Groups included only the Cockroach Army Group, Star War Army Group, Reserve Army Group, and the standalone Guardian Divine Army!
Shadow Wolf, witnessing Roach Emperor and Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly persist in their pleas for action, also advanced to make his plea!
But he never imagined that as soon as his Spiritual Will reached out, Su Lin's attention turned directly to Shadow Wolf.
Instantly, a composed Spiritual Will transmission ignited the entire Wolf Pack's Central Army Hall!
No one had foreseen that the Wolf Lord would actually grant the request!
What's more, he commanded Shadow Wolf to take the full Reserve Army Group into the field to relieve the trapped four Military Groups!
It almost seemed like a prank!
One must remember, the Reserve Army Group ranked as the feeblest among all Military Groups!
Though their ranks appeared immense, they lacked resilience!
"Wolf Lord.... I...."
Shadow Wolf stood frozen for a moment, at a loss for words.
Yet shortly after, with the Wolf Lord's Spiritual Will replying anew, Shadow Wolf and every attending Military Group commander realized the Wolf Lord meant every bit of it!
Besides, the Wolf Lord refrained from dispatching any powerhouse Military Group to support Shadow Wolf, or to extract Hao Ri Princess from her bind!
For even without the Reserve Army Group's involvement,
Both fronts benefited from the Wolf Pack Civilization's secret forces aiding in breakout and retaliation!
Dream Army and Desperate Evil Tiger commanded the Mercenary Army Group, shadowing Hao Ri Princess throughout!
And during this period, by integrating tens of trillions of Undead encountered en route, the Undead Army Group had quietly expanded beyond ten trillion strong and was now advancing on the four Military Groups' combat zone!
Hence, dispatching Shadow Wolf with the Reserve Army Group served merely to give them battlefield exposure and snag some merits in passing!
Meantime, Su Lin himself, together with the Star War Army Group, Cockroach Army Group, and Guardian Divine Army, faced their destined adversaries.
Why dispatch the Reserve Army Group elsewhere?
Because the imminent clash awaiting them would form the fiercest core of this epic conflict!
On that front, not only could the Reserve Army Group not join in, but even watching from afar risked injury from the shockwaves!
Then, mere days following this Wolf Pack Central Army meeting, the Reserve Army Group fully departed the rear lines, charging directly toward the four Military Groups' zone.
Meanwhile, the Star War Army Group, Undying Cockroach Army Group, and Guardian Divine Army converged, proceeding straight to the Sea of Star Sand's thirty-sixth clearing via the most direct stellar path!
........
Under the stunned stares of the Predators, the White Wolf, now radiating even deeper power, emerged, streaking forward at velocities beyond visual tracking—a mere streak of white flashing past like a spectral shadow, disappearing instantly, only to rematerialize atop a remote ridge, its howl piercing the heavens, directing the White Wolf Pack onward into the Arctic's heart...
This spectacle etched itself eternally into the souls of countless Predators, a memory to cherish forever, that gleaming silver-white form of the White Wolf, impossible to erase.
For that White Wolf ranked as virtually the mightiest being among all species they had witnessed, its fearsome prowess something they shunned, its authoritative stare instilling profound terror!
In the Land of Adventure, beneath the overcast polar day heavens, tension hung thick in the atmosphere at this juncture, as though a tempest loomed imminent, gusts of frigid air laced with savage winds ravaged every nook of the Land of Adventure, compelling all creatures to quell their predatory urges, huddling in shadowy hides to evade the onslaught of cold, poised nonetheless to pounce on succulent meat, myriad predatory eyes concealed amid the gale-swept frozen tundra.
Concurrently, Su Lin guided the enormous Wolf Pack back to their home grounds with utmost haste, a lethal presence subtly diffusing over the icy expanses, every area they traversed stirred by rapid maneuvers into chilling gusts, hidden predators detecting the Wolf Pack's formidable vibe, growls of warning rumbling from their throats.
Within the perilous core of the Arctic, predator-prey dynamics reigned supreme, the White Wolf's intensely hazardous aura invading fellow predators' domains provoked bristling responses, their gazes icing over, lying in wait for the White Wolf Pack's subsequent actions.
