Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1796 - 1006: Remnants of the Phantom Army, Blood-Soaked Prayer! (Part 2)
Previously on Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf...
In every military group, including even the most feeble Insect Race Army Group, the exotic beasts all showed fervent blood boiling and spirits surging in their gazes.
Such immense military power filled Su Lin and all the War Kings with burning enthusiasm and deep honor.
This fervor hit even harder for their subordinate Exotic Beast Army!
They belonged to a colossal force wielding enormous power.
Observing this sight, Su Lin released a sweeping spiritual will filled with contentment.
"Leaders of each military group, step forward to receive your Star Sky Battle Flags!"
"Yes!"
Right away, every War Emperor and top commander in the Wolf Pack Civilization’s hierarchy roared out a unified, thunderous response.
Each commander grasping a Star Sky Battle Flag etched with their group’s name sensed the immense destiny linked to it.
It felt like these Star Sky Battle Flags were tied to them from the very instant of their creation.
Shortly, with the Star Sky Battle Flags of all military groups planted solidly at the front, as they absorbed the tremendous destiny inside and saw them waving in the breeze, revealing the distinct soul pattern script of each group, the spirits of the exotic beasts across the groups skyrocketed.
Though plenty of War Kings and senior War Generals had heard whispers, no one dared to assume anything until the Wolf Lord spoke!
The tales of the Phantom Army led by the Charm Fox getting utterly destroyed by an outside Star Nebula Great Clan stunned them too deeply.
After all, the Charm Fox’s troops numbered in the tens of trillions of Strength; even among the Sky Wolf System’s forces, who would boast they could devour the Phantom Army alone?
But fear didn’t grip them, thanks to the imposing figure on the Star Dome Pointing Platform’s peak, which gave them boundless confidence.
And right then, as the Star Sky Battle Flags fully spread out,
the Sand Fox, draped in the Black Soul Robe, gradually unveiled the surviving Phantom Army members who had escaped from the Heavenly Horse Stellar System.
That Heavenly Horse Stellar System lay more than ten light-years distant from this place.
For these Phantom survivors to rush back so fast, it was clear some power had rushed them here on purpose, hurling their challenge straight at Su Lin and the whole Wolf Pack Civilization!
These battered Phantom Army remnants, stained with blood, carried scars from savage torment, their gazes dulled and vacant.
Even escorted by the Sand Fox in the Black Soul Robe, they shuddered in terror before the Wolf Pack Civilization’s massive, crushing presence, feeling dread rather than thrill or relief.
Many veteran members who had trailed the Charm Fox felt exactly the same!
Only when the full tens of trillions of forces halted and stared at them with puzzled curiosity in the hush did the eyes of these Phantom Army exotic beasts—haunted for ages by torment, intimidation, and killing—start to spark with faint life!
As those veterans truly grasped that they’d come back to their long-lost ancestral kin after millennia, they first froze in shock, then burst with joy, and at last, tears of blood flowed from their eyes.
"Wolf Lord! Wolf Lord! The Fox Emperor banned us from coming back for aid, with Asura traps blocking the path. But their cruelty is too extreme, too extreme! We couldn’t endure, Wolf Lord; the Musk Ox King fell, the Murderous Scorpion fades, the Fox Emperor got seized. Our Phantom Army is done for!"
"Wuuu! Wolf Lord, we’ve shamed you, shamed the Wolf Pack Civilization! We shouldn’t have survived to return!"
Some veterans, dulled by endless abuse but just starting to awaken, shed blood tears as they bashed their heads with a paw, their forms igniting in Origin Fire.
"Wolf Lord! Don’t pursue, don’t pursue. They’re a horde of nightmarish specters, and the Starry Sky contest is beyond us weaklings!"
At once, another Phantom survivor beast, in a wild cry, clawed out its own eyes before bursting into Origin Fire.
Yet even blinded, in its burning end, it seemed to relive the stellar hell of the Heavenly Horse Stellar System, its shaking Divine Soul trembling amid the blaze!
These sights let the exotic beasts from the Wolf Pack Civilization’s various military groups piece together what had happened.
For those War King-level beasts already briefed, the initial disbelief in their eyes shifted slowly to rage and fury.
For nothing stirs an army’s sense of dignity and glory more fiercely than the hopelessness and self-destruction of fellow warriors, their honor crushed in gore.
Particularly since their hearts had brimmed with passion just before, this sharp divide hit them hardest.
Quickly, the Sand Fox’s Black Robe Undercover Agents halted the other Phantom survivors from ending themselves and guided them off the scene,
leaving scores of self-ignited corpses behind,
along with a few Trace Crystals that glowed, replaying vivid horrors of the Phantom Army’s slaughter.
The footage proved too grim to stomach, far gorier than the Wolf Pack Civilization’s own frenzied kills to scare off foes.
These visions stirred unease and even retching in many fresh troops.
But the tidal wave of grief and wrath from the Starry Sky Commanding Platform pinned these queasy exotic beasts in place, frozen without a twitch.
