Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1937 - 1078: Hundred Stars Retreat to Yangyan! (Part 2)
Previously on Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf...
Numerous Constant Star Lords continue to hurl curses in fury, yet all their vitriol directed at this fearsome Demon God appears utterly pointless.
'Haha!'
Su Lin completely disregards those bitter invectives.
In truth, during this monumental clash, notions of absolute righteousness or wickedness hold no sway!
After all, both the Wolf Pack Civilization and the Red Sun Empire represent emerging stellar entities, having gained nothing from the Blazing Flame Clan, so what obligation do they have to side with it?
And for refusing alliance with the Blazing Flame Clan, does that render them villains?
This conflict wasn't even ignited by their actions!
Rather, it was the Black Sun Constant Star, the Bright Day System, the Hundred Stars Alliance, and the Void Abyss Mayfly Clan who, believing they had secured a safeguard, launched it in pursuit of safety.
Now that hostilities are underway, halting them lies beyond anyone's unilateral control!
Furthermore, the objective of this war is the annihilation of the Red Sun Empire, with the Wolf Pack Civilization targeted for eradication in the process!
Therefore, regardless of origins, consequences will follow suit!
If they seek to eradicate the Wolf Pack Civilization, then the Wolf Pack Civilization yearns to eradicate them in turn!
And for total eradication, ripping them out by the roots proves the most fitting method!
'Awooo!'
Su Lin's thunderous Wolf Howl once more booms powerfully through the Starry Sky Battlefield, compelling the three primary military formations to rapidly dismantle enemy lines and press on with territorial conquests!
If not, should the Red Sun Empire's forces mount a successful retaliation, it would become challenging to unabatedly refine so many immense stars and minor stars!
Since every star and minor star serves as a reliable source of resources, nobody desires their outright obliteration!
'Kill! Wolf Lord, if you're so eager for death, we'll grant it to you. All Hundred Stars Alliance members, converge on Yangyang Star with us at the forefront to challenge the Wolf Pack Civilization's three main military groups. No more scattered skirmishes!'
The Yangyang Star Lord, eyes bloodshot with rage, observes how precipitously the Hundred Stars Alliance's forces crumbled once the Wolf Pack Civilization entered the fray.
Nevertheless, despite his cultivation at the Initial Stage of Half-step Forbidden, he refrains from closing in for combat, overwhelmed by the Wolf Lord's domineering presence.
He perceives himself as insignificant next to the Wolf Lord, akin to a trivial feline or canine facing a colossal sea serpent.
Consequently, he hesitates to press forward, even under the guard of adjacent forces and Follower Battle Formations, deeming his defenses inadequate.
'Hasten the assembly! Alert every other stellar military unit—if unable to arrive, fully consolidate at Yangyang Star, our final bulwark against the Wolf Pack Civilization!'
Overpowered by the Wolf Lord's indomitable aura, the Yangyang Star Lord dispatches further directives, readying for a withdrawal to Yangyang Star.
For that is his stronghold, bolstered by Fortune's favor and the inherent territorial edge.
Initially designed as the Hundred Stars Alliance's mightiest fortress, it brims with myriad Killing Arrays, Battle Formations, Fortune Arrays, and meticulously erected barriers!
Yet, consolidating at Yangyang Star signifies forfeiting around ten stars' worth of cosmic domains.
This prospect drives the Constant Star Lords to wail in desperation: 'No! We must launch one more assault! We can't allow our Home Planet to perish at this Demon's hands!'
However, on such a chaotic front, hatred and zeal alone cannot alter outcomes.
When the disparity in raw power widens to an extreme, all fervor renders itself meaningless.
'Ah!!!! Magic Wolf! Ghost Wolf! Even in death, I'll eternally damn you and the Wolf Pack Civilization!'
Before long, a Constant Star Lord overextends in combat and meets his end.
Even in his final moments, he channels his remaining strength into the fiercest malediction!
But as the curse's karmic thread barely grazes the Wolf Lord's form, it shatters effortlessly!
A simple potent Heavenly Venerate, sacrificing his existence to hex Su Lin, couldn't withstand the lightest gesture!
Let alone afflicting the entire Wolf Pack Civilization!
'Wolf Lord! Wolf Lord! Please, I implore you, preserve my Home Planet—I'll grovel at your feet like a hound!'
Certain Constant Star Lords, despairing at the dire circumstances, weep crimson tears and prostrate themselves.
Yet the Hao Ri Princess swiftly severs his head, offering no further discourse.
She understands well that the resources and Blood Food devoured by the Wolf Pack Civilization won't be relinquished without its utter demise.
Especially not by the Wolf Lord himself?
Amid this relentless carnage, cries of the dying and the fallen reverberate endlessly, while moments stealthily elapse.
.....
In an instant, centuries have elapsed.
Though centuries may seem brief, within them, more than a trillion soldiers have perished across the Hundred Stars Alliance's theater.
That's akin to the annual loss of thousands of billions of Ancestor-level beings!
Thousands of billions at the Ancestor level!
Remember, on a First-level Life Planet, Ancestor-level marks the apex of might, genuine sovereigns amid billions!
Yet here, Ancestor-level entities amount to mere fodder, livestock at best—nothing more than Blood Food!
Employed solely as counters and gauges!
Over these centuries, the Wolf Pack Civilization's three core military groups have reaped a staggering sixty trillion foes, seizing ten stars along with over a hundred minor stars.
Nonetheless, the Hundred Stars Alliance, beholding the Wolf Pack Civilization's savage massacres and merciless strategies, abandons all delusions, turning to the utmost drastic countermeasures for vengeance against the Wolf Pack Civilization.
This has inflicted heavy tolls on the Wolf Pack Civilization as well.
Midway through the conflict, they shifted tactics, declaring that non-resistant stars might evade destruction,
And in regions where the Wolf Civilization Army advances, should any Star Sky Battle Flag endure unshaken for three months, that star faces extermination!
This tactical pivot enabled the Wolf Pack Civilization to secure the capitulation of six stars and twenty minor star entities at low expense, revealing the outer ramparts of Yangyang Star across the expansive Level 5 Stellar System.
Presently, the Wolf Pack Civilization's three primary military groups stand poised in tense confrontation with Yangyang Star.
On this occasion, the Wolf Pack Civilization capitalized on the element of surprise and their troops' keen edge to secure resounding triumphs!
Within mere centuries, they've seized almost a third of the Hundred Stars Alliance's stellar realms.
What's more, the casualty exchange stands at an astonishing one-to-four ratio!
With the Wolf Pack Civilization suffering one, and the Hundred Stars Alliance four!
Even with that, the Wolf Pack Civilization's three major military groups now tally over thirty trillion strong, having lost more than twenty trillion in the fray.
Concerning the erstwhile Hundred Stars Alliance, they've managed to rally at Yangyang Star in the sprawling Level 5 Stellar System.
There, their forces swell to one hundred thirty-four trillion!
Additionally, they benefit from territorial supremacy, Fortune enhancements, the prestige and devotion of the Hundred Stars Alliance's central hub, plus the latent Hundred Stars Godslaying Army!
Meanwhile, the original Red Sun Empire's legions remain locked in strife with the Bright Day System's army, incapable of aiding the Wolf Pack Civilization.
Hence, both the Wolf Pack Civilization and the Hundred Stars Alliance regard this confrontation as the decisive crux of triumph and dignity!
Neither dares to act precipitously!
The Hundred Stars Alliance wavers, having endured the Wolf Pack Civilization's unassailable rampage over these many years, shunning further chaotic stellar skirmishes and hit-and-run tactics against the Wolf Pack Civilization!
Beyond the Wolf Pack Civilization's superior overall caliber and might eclipsing the Hundred Stars Alliance, it's the profound Essence, Qi, and Spirit emanating from their ranks that discourages reliance on raw numbers alone.
Rather, they form a force primed for swift strikes, sabotage—retreating when foes press, pursuing when foes withdraw—employing every tactic to erode the adversary.
Little surprise, then, that various powers brand them as formidable marauders, fiends, for the Wolf Pack Civilization indeed wields tactics even more insidious and dreadful than those of marauders or fiends!
Consider now, in this impasse of indeterminate length, whispers within the Wolf Pack Civilization already circulate about liquidating all yielded star factions for Blood Food!
Such notions eclipse the terror of marauders and fiends by magnitudes of ten or a hundred!
Luckily, the Wolf Lord delivers the ultimate verdict, rejecting those proposals!
Thus, who would risk clashing with the Wolf Pack Civilization through stellar chaos and guerrilla ambushes?
