Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1799: 1008: Schemes from All Sides, Taking the Stage
Previously on Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf...
In the immense stretch of the starry void, spanning ten light-years, numerous factions within the Sea of Star Sand have deployed thirty-six layers of ambushes.
Within this endless universe, the possibilities for sly tactics and brilliant schemes are truly infinite!
Yet the Star Sand Master knows full well that any emerging overlord capable of overthrowing the Radiant Sun Tribe and its Lord cannot possibly be incompetent.
Provided they avoid splitting their troops, no scheme or strategy, however clever, will succeed against them.
Consequently, the Star Sand Master, along with the most elite powers in the Sea of Star Sand, have realized this early on and chosen to grind down the Wolf Civilization Army's strength and drive through relentless bloody conflicts!
They are eager to discover just how much time the Wolf Pack Civilization will need to traverse the thirty-six barriers and what remnants will survive in the end?
Initially, the Silicate Stone People clan was slated by the Star Sand Master to guard the ultimate barrier.
Regrettably, their chief lacks far-reaching vision and struggles to maintain a broad web of spies and lookouts beyond their borders, depending entirely on the Star Sand Master's intel.
Under these circumstances, why would the Star Sand Master ever disclose the real strength of the Wolf Civilization to them?
As a result, since they eagerly offer themselves up, allow them to confront the Wolf Civilization at the height of its might!
The Star Sand Master has secretly installed Sin Extinction Arrays at every barrier, hidden from all knowledge.
The moment the Wolf Civilization forces its way through a barrier, these arrays will activate without fail.
Then, whether it's the remaining defenders or the Wolf Civilization forces, they will all face annihilation within the Sin Extinction Array, their minds corrupted, transforming into mindless sin servants driven solely by slaughter.
These sin servants prove useless as sustenance and will instead inflict serious disruptions on the Wolf Civilization.
Lay waste to every domain!
So, do you truly believe the Star Sand Master's assurance that any faction unable to hold can simply retreat is sincere?
Perhaps it is sincere!
However, no one is fated to get away!
Furthermore, the Star Sand Master aims not only to battle this rising cosmic power, the Wolf Civilization, but also to purge the growing number of rival factions and strange creatures inside, preserving only the purest core of the Sea of Star Sand for what lies ahead.
In this way, every cosmic group that dives headlong into conflict carries profound motives lurking beneath the surface, and even in a sinful realm like the Sea of Star Sand, this holds true.
…….
Three light-years!
The Star Sky Main Ship required several decades to navigate this three-light-year distance, expending more than thirty million star stones' worth of stellar power.
During this period, over ten billion Flame Angels and eighty million Slaughter Heaven Guards devoured roughly a hundred million blood stones.
This truly highlights the staggering costs of interstellar combat.
Hence, absent truly massive gains, no one would launch an all-out conflict.
After all, this isn't the old planetary setup anymore; resource drain is genuine, with no sustainable loop in place.
Thus, when war erupts, it's not merely armies clashing—it's a trial of each party's reserves and economic might!
Throughout these decades, the daughter of Emperor Hao Ri has displayed the fiercest assault and cunning tactics.
Everywhere her forces advanced, they crushed more than thirty bands of spies and scouts, sparing just a handful of fugitives to escape.
From the interrogated spies, they learned that ahead, across over thirty shattered stars, the initial trap from the Sea of Star Sand looms.
It features no fewer than a hundred flawless mazes, illusions, death traps, and venom arrays, backed by more than sixty billion troops, led by the formidable Embers Heaven Hound!
The Embers Heaven Hound, once a notorious interstellar raider, bears the guilt of annihilating countless tribes through savage killings, holding the forty-ninth spot on the strength list!
It stands as a true Peak Venerable!
These minor spies, scouts, and minions, of course, remain oblivious to the abrupt rise of the Silicate Stone People clan.
This surprise was meant to throw the Wolf Pack Civilization into disarray.
“Over sixty billion troops and a Peak Venerable—that’s too much for us! We’ve already alerted the Wolf Lord and the Roach Emperor on the right wing!”
In these decades, the daughter of Emperor Hao Ri has racked up impressive battlefield feats, guiding over a million crack troops through the stars, carving out a three-light-year path in space for the Wolf Pack Civilization.
Remember, though this three-light-year route faced no major blockades, it was rife with raids, stellar blasts, toxic fogs, and worse.
One might argue that a single Princess and her hundred thousand veterans clearing this three-light-year stellar highway is an impressive feat.
En route, they massacred tens of millions of Sea of Star Sand's bizarre beasts in fierce combat.
Nevertheless, most of these beasts were vicious too, opting to explode themselves when begs for life failed, inflicting heavy losses on the Flame Angels.
So, these decades of grueling fights taught this forward unit the raw savagery of cosmic battles.
Even skipping the main forces, these lesser threats proved daunting.
“Set up camp temporarily on this primary star, dispatch some beasts to calm the local inhabitants, and meanwhile scout info on the Charm Foxes and Phantom Army.”
The Godspeed Golden Eagle relayed this order with utmost care.
Right now, only by holding position and waiting for backup can they hope to seize the upcoming barrier!
Should they try skirting around it, the detour alone would consume years, and with such a hazard lingering, smooth progress would be impossible.
Therefore, the Wolf Pack Civilization must uproot every obstacle along the route!
