Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1867 - 1043: The Wolf Lord Returns, Inventory of Resources! (Part 2)

The spectacle, captured via the Trace Crystal, rapidly disseminated throughout the whole Sky Wolf System.

In the Sky Wolf System, following the chaos of the recent coup, diverse variant species had grown to acknowledge and firmly trust the Wolf Pack Civilization more profoundly.

Should additional uprisings arise, or even if Earth fell under enemy control, these variant species would continue to battle with unyielding ferocity.

Indeed, from the Serpent Emperor's swift suppression of the inner revolt to the Wolf Lord's direct command in the campaign that returned with the foe's leader's severed head, such triumphant feats had firmly embedded themselves in the minds of all these variant species!

Moreover,

Accompanying the wolf's triumphant howl signaling the battle's conclusion, Su Lin promptly declared a three-decade phase of recuperation and rebuilding, accompanied by extraordinary compensations for every participant.

This occasion's incentives would transcend mere blood food, supplies, honors, ranks in the forces, and similar items, ushering in an entirely novel epoch of bestowals!

The Wolf Pack Civilization would bestow authentic Star Sky Feudal Towns and Lords as prizes!

This prospect filled every elite exotic beast, including those at the War King tier, with intense anticipation!

For Star Sky Feudal Towns and Lords represented the ultimate summit of authority!

Within their personal domains, they held unchallenged sovereignty!

The immense and limitless cosmos proved too expansive for any lone force to manage flawlessly through a unified command structure.

Thus, upon attaining the rank of a Star Nebula Great Clan, the enfeoffment of numerous lords became standard practice!

Every influential entity followed this indispensable route!

In echo to the Wolf Lord’s resounding howl, almost the full expanse of the Sky Wolf System reverberated back!

Countless elite exotic beasts who earned substantial combat accomplishments showed blazing excitement in their gazes.

Yet, prior to the Wolf Lord’s official conferment, the identities of the Star Sky Lords remained a mystery to all.

As a result, various War King-tier elite exotic beasts began energetically reassembling, and even restructuring their troops, aiming to impress the Wolf Lord favorably, along with the oversight from Shadow Unit One, Two, and the Imperial Guard Third Faction handling internal affairs in this era.

During this vigorous realignment, Su Lin, serving as the Wolf Pack Civilization's supreme commander, certainly remained proactive.

He consistently relied on entrusting duties to reliable subordinates such as Red-tailed, Lonely Wolf Emperor, Serpent Emperor, and Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly.

But on this occasion of his homecoming, he discovered that the Wolf Pack Civilization's prior stockpile of resources had been almost entirely exhausted by the conflict.

Were it not for the Twelve-colored Furnace's power to process sin-tainted flesh, plus the blood food gathered by the five major military units and Hao Ri Princess, the whole Wolf Pack Civilization could have faced famine upon return.

Hence, Su Lin planned to conduct a thorough audit of the Sky Wolf System's existing resources.

After all, warfare—particularly a realm-spanning conflict of such magnitude—devours supplies at a terrifying pace.

Failing to assess and allocate these assets sensibly could plunge the entire Wolf Pack Civilization into a halt in advancement, or worse, outright starvation!

The delay of Su Lin’s reward proclamation until thirty years hence served to allow ample time for resource gathering.

Su Lin promptly called upon Red-tailed and Serpent Emperor.

These pair had for ages managed the resource allocation and supply chains inside the Wolf Pack Civilization.

"Wolf Lord, the Sky Wolf System's resource stockpiles stand at just ten percent now, depleted by ninety percent overall, with only the freshly defeated rebels' remains added. Moreover, the Bright Day System’s forces consist entirely of Quasi-Sky Realm warriors, including billions in the Heavenly Realm, which are presently bolstering the Sky Wolf System’s upward momentum, yet pulling together massive resources for prizes remains virtually unfeasible!"

Red-tailed commenced her briefing.

Next, Red-tailed provided in-depth accounts of the exotic plant reserves, alongside ancestor-level blood food, Quasi-Sky Realm blood food, and Heavenly Realm blood food.

With the Sky Wolf System's steady growth, items like blood food, exotic plants, Luck Stones, Mystic Bones, vital components, research-derived potions, and even technological arms and stellar energy gear all featured precise classifications.

Supplies generally fell into categories: Ordinary—New Species—Ancestor Level—Quasi-Sky Realm—Heavenly Realm—Mid-Heavenly Realm—High Heaven Realm—Precious Grade—Ultimate Grade!

The old S/SS/SSS ratings for blood meat had been phased out long ago.

Potions aligned with the tiers listed previously!

Still, Ancestor Level potions proved useful specifically for ancestor-level exotic beasts.

Heavenly Realm potions worked for those at the Heavenly Realm.

Precious Grade ones aided Peak Venerable and Peak Heavenly Venerate stages.

Ultimate Grade targeted Half-step Taboo realms.

Up to now, excluding the Wolf Lord’s special Blood Ignition, Soul Burning, Evolution, and Recovery Potions that bypassed all tiers, none of the research-line potions could be produced in bulk beyond High Heaven Realm, much less superior variants!

Technological weapons and stellar energy equipment began right at Ancestor Level!

This indicated their baseline capacity to slay or shield against ancestor-level exotic beasts.

As the Wolf Pack Civilization ventured deeper into the cosmos, any tech weapons incapable of handling ancestor-level exotic beasts had become utterly outdated!

Listening to Red-tailed’s comprehensive update, Su Lin grew ever more aware of the pressing shortages in resources, potions, and gear at present.

In truth, the Wolf Pack Civilization remained a fledgling Star Nebula Great Clan; enduring just one war, despite the apparent triumph, had pushed it to the brink of ruin.

This realization struck Su Lin once more with the vital, indispensable role resources played amid this shadowy cosmos!

Lacking resources, a force might sustain brief stability through sheer combat prowess, but maintaining troop cohesion and widespread morale over the long haul proved impossible.

For the Wolf Pack Civilization's ongoing expansion or sustained campaigns ahead, resources ranked as the supreme necessity; absent them, all ambitions amounted to mere rhetoric.

......

Once the Wolf Clan received their honors, Su Lin shifted his focus to the Bear Clan allies from this skirmish. Under the White Bear's guidance, the Bear Clan buzzed with eagerness; witnessing the hundred pounds of meat granted to the Wolf Clan only heightened their hopes for similar gains.

Hunting in the Land of Adventure amid polar daylight posed no simple task. Ever since the Ice Age's onset, countless mutated forms emerged among the wildlife, rendering the frigid Arctic's hunts far deadlier. One minor error might doom a hunter to perish beneath a predator's jaws for scarcely a few dozen pounds of meat.

Thus, a key reason so many Bear Clan members opted to trail the White Wolf lay in securing ample meat supplies and superior mutated beast flesh.

Su Lin had no intention of overlooking the Bear Clan warriors who charged into combat beside him, so he let out a mighty howl before handing out generous portions of flesh to them.

Gathered together, the Bear Clan, having shared constant days and nights with the White Wolf Pack, could somewhat grasp the intent behind the white wolf's calls, leading them to erupt in joyful "Roar, Roar, Roar" bellows within the caverns. Such a bountiful yield only deepened their devotion to the white wolf.

Su Lin recognized how this clash had bound his allied groups tighter in loyalty, so he lavished prizes on the contingents that stood by him, aiming to lure even more creatures to his banner. Over time, Su Lin’s pack would swell in might and resilience, evolving into the invincible supreme ruler across the vast frozen tundra!

With distributions to the Wolf Clan and Bear Clan wrapped up, Sander and Tiffany drew Su Lin’s notice anew. Su Lin had foreseen long ago that these pair of humans would align with the Wolf Clan in their bid for endurance.

Su Lin aimed to groom these two humans as his proxies beneath him, thus offering them lavish incentives upon encounter. He assigned a whopping two hundred pounds of flesh to Sander and Tiffany, sufficient to sustain them through quite a stretch.

This abundance stunned Sander and Tiffany, yet swelled their hearts with profound thanks toward the white wolf. They never imagined that joining the fray would yield them such an abundance of sustenance.

Sander found himself reminiscing about his stint in the Human Fortress, back when he scraped by as a mere novice, enduring constant jeers and outright degradation. Besides, amid the dire shortages gripping human communities now, such valuable mutated beast meat always went first to the elite or the robust New Humans for consumption, leaving bottom-tier folks like him utterly deprived. Against his old existence, he reaffirmed yet again the wisdom of his decision.
