Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1798 - 1007: The Wolf Pack Emerges, Sea of Star Sand!
Previously on Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf...
Once the news of the Phantom Army's full mobilization spread, a fierce blaze of morale and deep-seated resentment ignited throughout every unit in the Wolf Pack Civilization's forces.
Right after that, Su Lin gestured with his paw, summoning more than a hundred Star Sky Mother Ship Groups bought from the Star Core Trading City onto the Starry Sky Commanding Platform.
These over a hundred Star Sky Mother Ship Groups, merged with the existing thirty-plus Star Sky Mother Ship Groups owned by the Wolf Pack Civilization, provided ample capacity to transport more than ten trillion members of the Vanguard Army!
With a resounding cry, the Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly, Lonely Wolf Emperor, Golden Jade Demon Deer, Fox-tail Algae, Black Rat, and Louis all advanced.
More than a hundred Star Sky Mother Ship Groups, alongside the Star Energy Weapons and Nuclear Source Killing Weapons that had been mainly supplied to the Star Battle God Army and Direct Lineage Second Division,
Meant that in terms of Star Energy Weapons, these three Military Groups were nearly fully equipped, and certainly on par with the top forces from other Great Clans!
Su Lin had bought billions of Star Energy Mecha, distributing just a share to the Hundred Battles Army, Breaking Formation Army, Dream Guards, and Star Battle God Army.
The remaining ones went to outfit the Nightmare Army and Demon Breaking Formation Army.
After all, Su Lin needed to make sure his concealed reserve forces outshone the visible ones like the Hundred Battles Army and Breaking Formation Army in elite status.
That way, he could genuinely reverse the fortunes of the battle.
On top of that, the assorted Star Energy Weapons acquired earlier were handed out to the other Military Groups as well,
Ensuring each Military Group got some Star Energy Weapons to bolster their weak spots in firepower.
Su Lin even armed the Insect Clan Army Group and Undying Cockroach Army Group with plenty of advanced intelligent Star Energy Miniature Fighters, Star Energy Technology Beasts, and similar gear.
That said, excluding the Star War Army Group, Blazing Angel Army Group, and Direct Lineage Second Division, the rest obtained only a small amount.
For even a freshly advanced nebula-grade Wolf Pack Civilization, let alone many established nebula-grade Great Clans, couldn't claim to outfit tens of trillions of soldiers completely with Star Stones.
Bang!
As Su Lin handed out the Star Energy Weapons, the collective morale, hatred, and battle fervor of the Wolf Pack Civilization reached a boiling peak.
Following a few hours of rest and preparation,
With the Star Sky Main Battle Banner and various sub-banners shifting position, the tens of trillions of Wolf Pack Civilization troops methodically departed from the nebula layer!
Su Lin also included the Godspeed Golden Eagles from Direct Lineage One and their Slaughter Heaven Guards.
He felt that the Godspeed Golden Eagle was on the verge of shattering the Nine Heavens barrier, and since the Slaughter Heaven Guards had been one of his key assets before, he refused to let them weaken.
Now, the Slaughter Heaven Guards numbered eighty million, all top-tier warriors from Direct Lineage One, with power levels hovering at the Heavenly Boundary Second Layer.
This mission gave a special chance to the Godspeed Golden Eagle and Emperor Hao Ri's daughter,
Letting the Godspeed Golden Eagle command his Slaughter Heaven Guards, while Emperor Hao Ri’s daughter directed the hundred billion Flame Angel Army Group to the forefront,
Particularly for Emperor Hao Ri’s daughter, Su Lin was eager to witness just how far this haughty heir of the Radiant Sun Tribe could rise.
Should she prove a supreme talent rivaling Charm Fox and Roach Emperor, Su Lin would gladly elevate her as a fresh symbol.
After all, both the Blazing Angel Army Group and Flame Angel Army Group needed a spiritual and motivational leader!
Besides the vanguard forces,
The left flank consisted of the Blazing Angel Army Group, the right flank the Undying Cockroach Army Group, and the Reserve Army Group served as the rear guard!
Su Lin personally commanded the Star War Army Group, Direct Lineage Second Division, Insect Clan Army Group, and Flame Angel Army Group to form the core central army!
This campaign represented the Wolf Pack Civilization's grandest deployment of military might and its most disciplined operation yet!
The reason was that even after ten thousand years of probing by Sand Fox's Shadow Unit One, they couldn't infiltrate the leadership of the Sea of Star Sand.
Intelligence on the Sea of Star Sand remained limited to mostly open-source data.
Even so, from that public info alone, Su Lin understood this would be an intense clash.
But this clash couldn't be dodged!
Be it the torment and disgrace endured by Charm Fox and the Phantom Army, or the Wolf Pack Civilization's drive to solidify its nebula standing, this brutal fight had to happen to fulfill those goals!
From the intel gathered thus far, the Sea of Star Sand housed nearly all the demons and notorious bandits of the Blazing Nebula, including Peak Venerates in the top fifty combat spots, and Late Stage to Peak Stage Venerates in the top three hundred!
Reports even suggested the Sea of Star Sand boasted tens of thousands of Sovereign Level powerhouses!
Tens of thousands of Sovereign Level powerhouses!
This figure was downright terrifying, considering that on just half of the Purple Brilliance Star Core’s Star Snake Continent, Sovereign Level experts numbered under a thousand!
In the Blazing Nebula, even veteran nebula-grade Great Clans rarely had Sovereign Level forces exceeding that count.
The Wolf Pack Civilization itself only possessed a scant three thousand Sovereign Level experts!
Furthermore, the Sea of Star Sand harbored over a thousand major and minor factions, with the highest-ranked ones having clashed with mighty nebula-grade Great Clans—especially the top-ranked seven-headed Ghost-faced Bat Tribe, which had once been a nebula-grade Great Clan itself!
After losing the supremacy struggle to the Sky-Cunning Beast Tribe, it retreated with its battered survivors to the Sea of Star Sand.
That's why the Sea of Star Sand, lacking treasures like those in the Sea of Sin, still held nebula-grade Great Clan status!
The exotic beasts thriving here were beyond counting, with no one knowing the true extent.
At minimum, entities like the Red Sun Empire, Bright Day System, and segments of the Sky-Cunning Beast Tribe's Star Core forces had all tangled in fights and wars with the Sea of Star Sand, yet none managed to subdue it.
Plus, while the Sea of Star Sand offered scant resources, it was a genuine star sea,
So possessing millions of Ancestor-level troops wouldn't shock anyone, just like with other powerful nebula-grade Great Clans!
Bang!
Right then, the vanguard Slaughter Heaven Guards and the hundred billion troops of the Flame Angel Army Group, steering a Star Sky Mother Ship without any scouting or protective vessels, charged straight into the frontline alone!
The Godspeed Golden Eagle took the lead position, its aura so potent as it approached the Nine Heavens that it pressured numerous Nine Heavens experts, with faint surges of thousands of mightiest exotic beasts and lingering spirits swirling around it.
During the return trip, Su Lin had already fed Godspeed Golden Eagle and the Dreamy Spiders vast amounts of Exotic Beast Essence Blood plus some Origin Power to craft a Thousand Demon Body.
Integrated into it were the essence blood from the fiercest exotic beasts and traces of origin.
For Lev, his frame was too fragile to handle the overwhelming force of the Thousand Demon Body, whereas the Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly and Black Gold Demon Ape rejected external aids for such enhancements.
The Godspeed Golden Eagle had initially resisted as well.
However, this cosmos was immense, and it had learned that despite its pride, superior realms and mightier entities always existed.
Without pursuing a supreme physique on its own, the Godspeed Golden Eagle risked lagging far behind the premier talents of the Wolf Pack Civilization if it ignored the Wolf Lord's guidance.
As for the daughter of the Lord of Radiant Sun, after a brief salute to the Godspeed Golden Eagle, she boldly directed millions of Heavenly Boundary Flame Angels onward.
This positioned her as the tip of the spear among vanguards!
In that instant, the Godspeed Golden Eagle caught a glimpse of its own past arrogance in the daughter of the Lord of Radiant Sun!
Defiant, powerful, refusing to yield!
Yet she carried the authentic Holy Angel lineage, born with twelve wings!
A lineage like that ranked as ancestral blood, on par with the Lord of the Radiant Sun at half-taboo level, unmatched by any star-dominating monstrous build.
One could say that even with the Thousand Demon Body, the current daughter of the Lord of Radiant Sun outclassed the Godspeed Golden Eagle!
"The Flame Angel Army has always been seen as the feeblest offshoot from the Radiant Sun Tribe; now I'll prove everyone wrong, and honor my Radiant Sun Tribe too. Anyone scared of dying can stay aboard the mother ship—the rest, come with me to conquer the starry sky. With all of you, we'll charge ahead in this fight!!"
The daughter of the Lord of Radiant Sun had not only gained her grandfather's twelve-wing Holy Angel potential but also her father's magnetic pull in epic conflicts.
Whether this princess might spark internal rebellion or a takeover down the line remained unknown.
But for now, she shone as a burgeoning star in the Wolf Pack!
.....
It was precisely as Su Lin's massive forces advanced through the starry sky path cleared by Charm Fox and the Phantom Army Group,
Three light years distant, multiple armies radiating dark malice and even tangible waves of killing intent began assembling.
These armies weren't vast in numbers, nor did they carry any fortune emblems, but their mere presence made countless ordinary Heavenly Boundary species tremble.
That dread arose from the thick murderous aura and wicked vibes pouring off them.
As the Wolf Pack Civilization's vast army emerged from the nebula layer, hundreds of spies embedded deep in the endless starry sky triggered their mirror crystals to send live feeds.
Those crystals captured every visual detail of the Wolf Pack Civilization's approaching forces.
"Heh heh, we've finally stirred the new ruler of the Radiant Sun Star, hahaha. We've mocked the Radiant Sun Tribe so many times over the years, and they always stayed calm. This new leader's got real edge, unlike the Lord of Radiant Sun—I love it!"
A particular faction head let out a chilling mental laugh.
This mental laugh rang familiar, belonging to one of the early demons who had covertly probed Charm Fox and the Phantom Army Group.
He ranked seventeenth in the Sea of Star Sand's power list and ninth in influence!
He'd been tasked by the Star Sand Master for a massive showdown in the last Heavenly Horse Stellar System with other heavy hitters.
But he requested early assignment to this opening clash!
These thirty-six gates and thirty-six clashes en route formed the thirty-six blades the Sea of Star Sand sharpened to drain the Wolf Pack Civilization!
Yet he worried that by the final gate, only remnants would remain, so he opted for the first one!
Besides, the Star Sand Master's missions never trapped anyone—if victory slipped away, retreat was always an option!
So why skip the thrill of the initial fight?
Now, the Silicon Stone Man King appeared to envision the joy of carving the first slice from the Wolf Pack Civilization, savoring the newest, juiciest spoils from a Star Nebula Great Clan.
Trailing him was a colossal force of 1.7 trillion Silicon Stone People!
"Hahaha, the Silicon King's spot on, and with you leading, we won't get bogged down by the Wolf Pack Civilization. This round, we'll drain them dry and devour their meat!"
This prompted several nearby minor factions, who had lurked and endured in the Sea of Star Sand for this debut battle, to voice their own dark mental intents.
Though unranked on the Sea of Star Sand lists, each carried a legacy of boundless slaughter!
Or put simply, no faction seeking refuge in the Sea of Star Sand was ordinary.
They had readied countless illusion fields, labyrinths, toxin setups, death formations, plus three decoy-level kill tools supplied by the Star Sand Master against the Wolf Pack Civilization.
They embodied a horde of ravaging bandit fiends!
Only this vanguard squad, led by the Silicon Stone Man King, didn't realize their foes weren't the typical honorable legions from past Star Nebula Great Clans.
Those Great Clans, though fierce, maintained certain limits!
But the Wolf Pack Civilization's brutality toward adversaries might rival or exceed these cosmic bandit fiends.
Who held the edge in savagery?
Who outdid in deceit and guile?
Who schemed deeper and embraced every dirty trick?
They did!
The Wolf Pack Civilization would too!
Moreover, the Wolf Pack Civilization viewed such tactics not as sins, nor did they label themselves crude demon hordes!
To the Wolf Pack Civilization, these were simply paths to triumph!
Come the true chaos of combat, it would blur who the true fiends were and who the righteous!
