"So, what's the current state of affairs in the Eastern Starry Sky? Roughly how many members of the Void Abyss Mayfly Clan are there?"
Su Lin sent out a surge of his spiritual will.
From within the Sky Wolf System, the Black Demon Mink responded swiftly, "Wolf Lord, we've lost control over eight light years of territory in the Eastern Starry Sky—it's been fully seized by the Void Abyss Mayfly Clan. The Proxima Star System, the Bader Star System, plus six nearby scattered stars and more than twenty minor stars, have banded together into the Anti-Wolf Alliance. This alliance boasts one hundred eleven trillion insurgents, forming a formidable power that controls three light years of space. The Eastern Starry Sky is on the verge of total collapse!"
As this news reached him, a chill flickered across Su Lin’s lupine gaze.
It made sense that they couldn't hold off the Void Abyss Mayfly Clan.
They were, after all, a mighty Star Sky Great Clan, one of the Star Sky Insect Clans no less.
The prowess of the Star Sky Insect Clan had been proven by the Undying Cockroach Army Group during their triumph over the Sea of Star Sand!
What's more, the Void Abyss Mayfly Clan had consumed every resource spanning hundreds of light years in the cosmos, multiplying to their utmost limits.
Over innumerable eras, famine and resource scarcity had caused a sharp drop from their former glory.
Even so, their sheer numbers dwarf anything the Undying Cockroach Army Group could match, yet this overwhelming volume means that the War Generals, War Kings, and top War Commanders of the Void Abyss Mayfly Clan struggle to fully control the swarms beneath them—the clan can't issue commands with real effectiveness!
That's why Su Lin harbored no resentment toward their failure against the Void Abyss Mayfly Clan.
But the inability to quash a simple uprising in just one star system left him viewing the Wandering Army Group and Undead Army Group as utterly incompetent.
Su Lin had long analyzed these system-wide revolts: aside from the heroic Bilin Emperor, the Bader Star's Lord was nothing but a pathetic failure.
Though the Bader Star System held considerable strength, it was his father who built it up.
The present Lord of Bader, in his ruthless grab for authority, slew his own sibling and tricked his sire, resorting solely to deceit against his kin.
Possessing only grand aspirations without the skill to back them, he dragged the Bader Star System down from a time when it outshone the Haori Star System, sinking it into the mediocrity of ordinary powers.
Right now, the Bader Star System's forces at Ancestor Level and above could barely gather two trillion soldiers across the board!
Consider that the Haori Star System, after quelling the Jupiter revolt and enduring endless clashes with the Heizi Tribe—amidst massive casualties—still managed to assemble almost two trillion fighters!
Yet the Bader Star System, spared any major wars, could only field the same two trillion, revealing the extent of its decay!
So, the fact that even a solitary leader from Proxima Star overcame the Undead Army Group, Wandering Army Group, and a human force numbering in the hundreds of billions infuriated Su Lin deeply.
"Issue the command to the Lonely Wolf Emperor: have him take the Hundred Battles Army to the Eastern Starry Sky, assume command of the operations there, seize authority over every military unit and dependent settlements, and crush the stellar uprisings. Any defiance or treason, no matter the status, must be eradicated ruthlessly!"
Su Lin issued this mental directive with icy resolve.
With Soul Spirit Demon Spider, Soul Demon, Ancestral Dragon Turtle, and Black Gold Demon Ape clueless on handling such insurgent chaos, let Little Lone Wolf show them the way!
Su Lin was eager to witness if this cadre—whose mere starting years eclipse Little Lone Wolf's lifespan by eons—would grasp the sting of humiliation under the guidance of a far junior overseer!
In the vast, shadowy cosmos, it's proclaimed that power alone defines worth, age be damned!
Still, the habit of leveraging age for prestige runs rampant among enlightened species.
Su Lin wasn't denying them dignity; they were the ones throwing it away themselves.
In particular, the Undead Army Group and Wandering Army Group, accustomed to effortless conquests and seamless progress, simply fell back when faced with hurdles!
During the Star Sand Sea training clash, neither the Undead nor Wandering Army Groups managed to instill a proper battle ethos!
As such, Su Lin believed the moment had arrived for them to discover the core spirit of the Wolf Pack Civilization!
"Yes!"
The Black Demon Mink acknowledged the order with utmost deference, then proceeded to update on the Void Abyss Mayfly Clan's overall might.
"Wolf Lord, the Void Abyss Mayfly Clan's count remains a mystery—we can't probe their depths, resembling an infinite sea of insects, without bounds. They've claimed the Eastern Starry Sky, devouring all available resources. Should this persist for another century, it could erode the very foundations, potentially turning it into a barren void!"
That said, my spies have uncovered that the Empress of the Void Abyss Mayfly Clan hasn't come back yet. It appears she left with a number of elders and elite forces via a different route, and now the clan is under the Void Abyss Mayfly Warlord's lead. His power hovers at the early half-step Forbidden stage, with more than a hundred known War Kings and hundreds more undocumented; their organization is in utter disarray. We should exploit these flaws in our plans—direct clashes are unwise!"
Through the Black Demon Mink's reverent and wary spiritual transmission, Su Lin caught the diligence of Shadow Unit One!
Truly, pinning down exact troop counts for a Star Sky Insect Clan proves challenging due to their endless expanse, where boundaries are elusive!
This colossal scale naturally breeds poor internal control!
Were it not for the Roach Emperor's brutal purges within, keeping the Undying Cockroach Army Group disciplined like iron, they'd suffer the same fate.
This explains Su Lin's decision to station the Undead Cockroach Army Group at the Sky Wolf System's outermost edges.
He sought to avoid any risk of their unchecked proliferation one day threatening the central stronghold.
