Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1938 - 1079: Wolf Pack Council, Predicament in the Far South!
Previously on Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf...
The Wolf Pack Civilization has refrained from a reckless advance, largely because their forces are too few in number.
Thirty trillion against one hundred and thirty-four trillion!
Despite the arrogance and overconfidence of the Wolf Pack Civilization's generals and kings, they don't possess the assurance to devour the enemy.
On top of that, the enemy boasts a Level 5 Star System as their stronghold and defensive barrier!
"Wolf Lord! The military funding resources pledged by the Red Sun Empire have completely halted! Even the compensation for our fallen exotic beasts, which was promised, has been withheld for ages. We battled fiercely on their behalf against the Hundred Stars Alliance, and this is their gratitude?"
In the wartime gathering of the Wolf Pack Civilization, the Vulture King was the initial one to voice this furious spiritual will.
It was the Vulture King who first suggested wiping out those Stellar System species and turning them into blood food.
With the Red Sun Empire's military funds and compensation now ceased,
the Wolf Pack Civilization is engaged in conflicts on two fronts, and relying on them for vast resources across such a remote supply chain is nothing but a pipe dream.
Without alternative sources, once the blood food stockpiled over centuries runs dry,
the Wolf Pack Civilization's war machine will suffer, even under the Wolf Lord's leadership here.
Such remarks sparked intense discussions across the Wolf Pack Civilization,
particularly given the colossal demands of compensation and wartime expenditures for any power.
Additionally, the Wolf Lord has integrated the accompanying stars and minor stars into his own form, leaving just a portion of blood food to distribute among the three primary military divisions.
These supplies would barely last a few hundred years.
Consequently, numerous exotic beasts pondered revisiting past proposals, yet the Wolf Lord's icy stare silenced them all.
"Regarding the Red Sun Empire's failures, I shall press them; the Emperor Pavilion will handle all reparations for lost exotic beasts, but I forbid any talk of targeting those yielding Stellar System factions!"
Su Lin's detached spiritual will echoed, compelling every king and general in the Wolf Pack war council to nod in agreement!
At present, for the sake of a handful of submitting Stellar System groups and scores of minor stars, defying the third decree sets the absolute limit for the Wolf Lord and Wolf Pack Civilization—any violators face certain death!
Certain War Kings and War Generals in attendance might be well-versed in deception and betrayal, seeing no issue with the idea.
Still, they overlooked that if those key stars and numerous minor stars were utterly eradicated for blood food,
no other power would ever submit to the Wolf Pack Civilization?
The Wolf Pack Civilization's credibility across the stars would shatter!
Every force in the Hundred Stars Alliance would launch ruthless raids against the Wolf Pack Civilization!
Hence, a bottom line must be upheld!
Executing the surrendered, inciting revolt—these define the Wolf Pack Civilization's unbreakable threshold!
"We obey the Wolf Lord's decree; yet, Wolf Lord, how shall we conquer Flame Sun Star next? The bulk of the Hundred Stars Alliance's forces are concentrated there, signaling their aim to resolve this conflict decisively!"
Within the council, the Hao Ri Princess shattered the quiet, projecting her inquiring spiritual will.
"Or perhaps we pull back our troops, retreating first to the Sky Wolf System, aligning with the Lone Wolf Emperor and Butterfly Emperor to secure the Void Abyss Mayfly Clan, then address the chaos here—after all, with no military funds from the Red Sun Empire, why bother saving their War Commander and their hundred-trillion-strong army?"
Fox-tail Algae chimed in with its own question.
Clearly, despite the Wolf Lord's authority, the Direct Lineage Second Division remains deeply resentful toward the Red Sun Empire's betrayal.
Were it not for the ongoing all-out war between the Red Sun Empire and Wolf Pack Civilization in the Wangshu Zone,
the Wolf Pack Civilization, which never tolerates setbacks and despises "enduring in silence," would have already flipped their tactics, obliterating the Red Sun Empire's War Commander and their trillions in troops to claim as spoils!
Meanwhile, Ghost Firefly from the adjacent Shadow Army Group offered its input and intel: "Wolf Lord, Fox-tail Algae makes a valid point; we have no obligation to rescue the Red Sun Empire's forces. Moreover, the Roach Emperor's position looks grim; the full Black Sun Star System has materialized, with seventy trillion Sin Army and forty trillion Vassal Forces surging toward the Roach Emperor's domain, clashing intensely with the Undying Cockroach Army Group.
Over just more than a decade, the Undying Cockroach Army Group has endured over twenty percent losses, including the death of the Nuclear Source Cockroach King. The Roach Emperor, in a frenzy of rage, has recreated the Sin Extinction Array, absorbing all the sin aura from the slain into himself, yet he could scarcely endure a handful of strikes from Black Sun’s Lord. Badly injured, he withdrew, now limited to skirmishes and hit-and-run tactics against the Black Sun Star Power!"
Ghost Firefly's suggestion and report plunged the assembly into a hush.
For the Wolf Pack Civilization's War Kings and Generals, long immersed in warfare, this spiritual transmission revealed the ferocity of the Extreme South conflict!
That was the Roach Emperor!
In the Wolf Pack Civilization, he ranked among the top in power, commanding formidable troops, and held an elite reputation!
Back during the feudal divisions years ago, the Roach Emperor had hit mid-stage peak, and later gained the Wolf Lord's Origin Essence Blood plus spoils from vanquishing a Peak Heavenly Venerate in the Sea of Star Sand!
Across tens of thousands of years, his battle prowess must have soared.
Even so, infused with sin aura, he fell after only a few exchanges—consider the enemy's might?
And within over ten years, with the Undying Cockroach Army Group suffering twenty percent dead, the Nuclear Source Cockroach King slain!
Thus, envisioning the magnitude of that grand clash, one can grasp its intensity.
The Wolf Lord assigned the Roach Emperor to hold for a millennium!
But now, it appears even a century might be too much!
After all, the Black Sun Star leads a Sin Army power, a resilient Sin Army that grew from a minor star into a mighty star system.
Most of his forces have undergone evolution, bearing the Mark of Sin, their fighting ability unmatched!
Nominally just over a million, yet they match a standard three hundred trillion ancestral force!
Right after Ghost Firefly shared this news, the gathering sank into prolonged quiet before the Wolf Lord gradually released his spiritual will.
This will drew upon immense destiny once more, directing Ghost Firefly to dispatch a decree-sealed secret scroll!
It reiterated the demand for the Roach Emperor to fulfill the objectives, stalling the Black Sun Stellar System for a thousand years!
Su Lin vowed that the Roach Emperor would claim the chief honor of this campaign, with vassal territories expanded threefold, plus the Nine Honors, elevating him to the paramount Nine-Conferral War Emperor in the Wolf Pack Civilization!
The Wolf Lord's pledge carries the weight of countless peaks!
Yet, the Roach Emperor and Undying Cockroach Army Group must survive to seize it!
Was this ordering the Roach Emperor's army to confront the Black Sun Stellar System's core might alone?
For an instant, every king and general pondered if the Wolf Lord secretly aimed to let the Black Sun Stellar System dispose of the Roach Emperor and his Undying Cockroach Army Group?
How else to justify such a harsh command?
Nevertheless, as their shock lingered briefly, the Wolf Lord rose steadily, eyes fixed on Yangyang Star, and concluded the council's decision.
"I trust the Roach Emperor and Undying Cockroach Army Group will trade their lives for a thousand years, so we must grasp and value this millennium. Henceforth, I decree: any who mention withdrawal again shall perish instantly! In this fight, our Wolf Pack Civilization commits fully and presses forward without halt! Should we lose, I vow to perish first, ahead of you all!"
Following Su Lin's unyielding and determined spiritual will, every king and general in the Wolf Pack Civilization Council rose with grave resolve!
Next,
the Wolf Lord outlined anew the strategy to eradicate the Hundred Stars Alliance!
In this clash, direct assault on Yangyang Star is off the table, as the Wolf Pack Civilization can't bear the cost!
Instead, they will skirt Yangyang Star, ravage the trailing stars and minor stars, and Su Lin wonders if the stellar forces amassed at Yangyang Star will hold firm once their homeworlds lie in ruins?
Su Lin realized some kings and generals might not grasp his insistence on prioritizing the Hundred Stars Alliance's elimination.
But certain matters require no comprehension from them—only obedience!
Purging the Hundred Stars Alliance was the Wolf Pack Civilization's core plan for this monumental war!
Without resolving the Hundred Stars Alliance, no true mental strain or intimidation can be inflicted on the Bright Day System, Black Sun Stellar System, and Void Abyss Mayfly Clan, trapping the Wolf Pack Civilization in encirclement!
Indeed, failing to handle the Hundred Stars Alliance
means that once the Black Sun Stellar System overruns the Roach Emperor's holdings, the Wolf Pack Civilization will face threats from three directions!
Thus, the ambush on the Hundred Stars Alliance in this operation was never about aiding the Red Sun Empire, but about shattering the existing deadlock!
Moreover, Su Lin nursed a private ambition.
For he sensed the resurgence of his Heavenly Boundary True Intent within, nearing its breakthrough!
The Heavenly Boundary True Intent roiled at its zenith; without reining in the Mysterious White Cloud's force, he could have surged two realms higher, attaining genuine Peak Ten Heavens!
Yet he knew that merely reviving the ancient heavenly boundary path and shattering present heavenly limits fell short!
Vastly short!
At minimum, the Hundred Stars demand blood refinement, or devouring a flawless Level 5 Peak Stellar System to shatter the barrier!
Reviving the ancient heavenly boundary path could prove as irreversible as the Star Sand Master's sin aura cultivation!
But currently, Su Lin lacks leisure for deep reflection. He must elevate swiftly, for post-Wangshu Zone war, only one side will endure.
Victory for the Red Sun Empire and Wolf Pack Civilization
would yield scant peaceful years between these two vast military entities!
Thus, to guide the Wolf Pack Civilization further, Su Lin must accelerate his power growth.
Even if it requires razing the ancient starry realms of the Hundred Stars Alliance, sparing no minor star or star!
Still, Su Lin avoided utter ruthlessness, offering other stellar and minor stellar powers a surrender opportunity!
But should they squander it, he bears no fault!
This starry void is truly shadowed, where logic and mercy find no place!
Frailty is the ultimate transgression!
Even if the Wolf Pack Civilization shows mercy now, stronger predators will eventually reap them!
.....
Following days of recuperation, a thunderous Wolf Howl rent the skies, propelling the Wolf Pack Civilization's three grand military groups—like ravenous wolves—to veer around the Flame Sun Star System, charging toward the rear where dozens of stars and hundreds of minor stars lingered with scant defenses.
The Nightmare Army even reactivated the Space-Time Altar, teleporting directly to spearhead the assault for the Wolf Pack Civilization!
