Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1922 - 1071: The Great War Approaches, Wangshu Trembles! (2)
Previously on Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf...
Imagine the astonishment when the monumental conquest of the Red Sun Empire was resolved so swiftly by a mere decree from the Empress, bypassing any buildup across the whole system?
It's utterly unbelievable!
This development filled numerous marquises with a feeling of disbelief.
They didn't dread the Red Sun Empire itself, yet this issue touched on the nation's core stability, demanding extended planning and debates.
However, it was handled so effortlessly now, pointing to just two potential explanations.
The first suggests the Sun Empress acts on caprice like a reckless simpleton!
The alternative implies that even as the Red Sun Empire openly proclaimed its intent to assault and dismantle the Bright Day System, the latter had already been covertly scheming to eradicate the Red Sun Empire!
The Black Sun Stellar System merely provided them a justified pretext!
"Yes!"
Innumerable followers embraced the command without question,
While the remaining marquises and subordinate lords paused briefly to grasp the implications, they too voiced their unanimous acceptance of the order!
Moreover, the Bright Day System's commitment to subduing the Red Sun Empire marked yet another seismic revelation.
The upheaval in Wangshu Zone rivaled the tempests raging on the Star Core.
Given the handful of dominant powers in Wangshu Zone, all entangled in battles and strife, the ferocity matched that of the Star Core without falling short.
In particular, the Bright Day System's entry into the fray was set to shatter the heavens of Wangshu Zone!
Right after the Bright Day System proclaimed its involvement in the conflict, simultaneously releasing its war declaration against the Red Sun Empire,
Merely months later, the Hundred Stars Alliance, another member of the Triple-Eyed Alliance, shrewdly aligned itself and declared its own participation.
Indeed, the Hundred Stars Alliance recognized that between the Bright Day System and the Red Sun Empire, only one survivor was feasible, and they all favored the Bright Day System's triumph.
Both the Bright Day System and the earlier Blazing Flame Clan demonstrated a willingness to integrate smaller groups and diverse Variant Species into their prosperity.
Conversely, the Red Sun Empire's militaristic government operates differently; it insists on total authority and utter dominance!
They rely solely on their armed might and brook no dissenting opinions.
Refusal to yield spells death; no alternative exists!
Consequently, nobody desires this militaristic apparatus, this relentless war engine, to claim unchallenged supremacy over Wangshu Zone!
As the Hundred Stars Alliance entered the conflict,
The Mechanical Church, which had lurked quietly for scores of eras toward the Zhen Mang sector, seemingly vanished, now voiced its backing for the Bright Day System, Black Sun Stellar System, and Hundred Stars Alliance in suppressing the Red Sun Empire!
Though constrained by the Heizi Tribe and Heavenly Destiny Clan, preventing direct military deployment, they pledged aid through vast shipments of Star Energy Weapons and cutting-edge Mechanical Killing Weapons to the Bright Day System, Black Sun Stellar System, and Hundred Stars Alliance.
Following the Mechanical Church's proclamation, the lethal tension across Wangshu Zone reached its zenith.
Nobody foresaw that in the wake of the abrupt chaos on the Star Core, Wangshu Zone would soon experience its own profound disruption and reconfiguration.
For this war proclamation, aimed squarely at the Red Sun Empire, guaranteed a complete overhaul of Wangshu Zone's framework through this clash!
"Heavens, what's happening? I believed the clash between the Wolf Pack Civilization and the Sea of Star Sand was the grandest war of this era in Wangshu Zone, yet now it feels like a colossal stellar conflict is about to engulf the whole region once more?"
A solitary expert dwelling in the area, perceiving the primary powers throughout Wangshu Zone starting to release statements and gearing up for a massive upheaval, whispered in stunned reverence.
Since often, such immense conflicts impact myriad existences.
Countless billions of Ancestor-Level warriors would perish like crops under the scythe!
"Let's move, grab a load of vital provisions from Wangshu Trading City, then burrow away until this era ends!"
A prudent leader of a minor faction, envisioning an impending cataclysm, bellowed while preparing to stockpile sufficient supplies in Wangshu Trading City for endurance.
They cast aside concerns for their bases, worlds, or contested resource sites, forsaking everything.
For these minor factions realized they couldn't retain them!
After all, regardless of the circumstances, mere survival takes precedence for these insignificant players unable to sway the tide.
Even numerous wandering exotic beasts scattered in terror, heading off alone.
This because Wangshu Zone, after the Black Sun Star's triumphant rise, unexpectedly ignited such vast unrest beyond all predictions.
And precisely when the whole Wangshu Zone teetered on the brink of war, with nearly every faction banding together against the Red Sun Empire,
The epicenter of this maelstrom stayed remarkably serene.
Currently, within the Chao Tian Hall of the Red Sun Empire, virtually all subordinate lords, War Kings, and War Generals had convened.
The Red Sun Empire's militaristic structure in no way pales against the Wolf Pack Civilization's internal dynamics.
All the powerhouses, subordinates, and War Kings present held profound, inconceivable faith in the Red Sun Empire and its Emperor.
These powerhouses, subordinates, and War Kings had observed the Red Sun Empire's rise from a trivial group to this colossal power in merely two eras.
The trials, the dire perils and foes confronted, remain beyond outsiders' grasp!
Hence, despite the near-total opposition from Wangshu Zone against the Red Sun Empire, this cadre of haughty victors, tacticians, and advisors remained steadfast.
Moreover, in this Chao Tian Hall assembly, even figures within the Red Sun Empire who formerly followed directives yet ignored edicts—like the Roach Emperor or Charm Fox—appeared voluntarily.
One could deem this a convocation of every top-tier leader in the Red Sun Empire's present era!
The individual upon the throne, exuding a savage bloodlust, beheld this assembly of elite leaders for the discussion, revealing an uncommon softness in those steely, merciless gaze!
For every subordinate lord, War King, War General, and even tacticians and advisors, demonstrated via their presence their unwavering support.
Firmly at their side, prepared to share life and death with the Red Sun Empire!

Hunting in the Land of Adventure amid polar day proves arduous. Ever since the Ice Age began, countless creatures have birthed Variant Species, rendering the already severe Arctic environment even tougher for pursuits. A single lapse could result in a predator's jaws consuming you while chasing mere tens of pounds of meat.
As such, a key factor drawing many Bear Clan individuals to trail the White Wolf lies in the plentiful meat provisions, plus superior Variant Species meat.
Su Lin naturally remembered these Bear Clan allies who consistently battled beside him. Thus, post his resounding howl, he allocated generous portions of meat to the Bear Clan.
Gathered together, the Bear Clan, through their time coexisting with the White Wolf Pack, had picked up on the nuances in White Wolves' howls, so they responded with enthusiastic "hohoho" growls inside the cavern, this plentiful reward solidifying their devotion to the White Wolves further.
Su Lin recognized how this skirmish had bolstered his pack's fidelity. Thus, he freely lavished rewards on his followers who joined the fight, fostering deeper loyalty among additional creatures, guaranteeing Su Lin's group would expand ever stronger, evolving into an invincible Arctic Sovereign across the frozen expanse in due course!
Having compensated the Wolf Clan and Bear Clan, Su Lin's focus shifted back to Sander and Tiffany. Regarding these two humans, Su Lin had anticipated their involvement in the Wolf Clan's survival struggle long ago.
Su Lin planned to groom these two humans as his emissaries, hence he extended considerable bounties to them too, splitting two hundred pounds of meat between Sander and Tiffany to sustain them for a while.
This caught Sander and Tiffany off guard, yet it deepened their appreciation for the White Wolves. They never imagined reaping such abundant sustenance simply from taking part in the fight.
