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 vent their fury through curses, yet these outbursts directed at the fearsome Demon God appear utterly pointless.
“Haha!”
Su Lin completely disregarded those bitter invectives.
In truth, during this massive conflict, notions of righteousness or wickedness hold no real sway!
The Wolf Pack Civilization and Red Sun Empire represent emerging stellar forces, having gained nothing from the Blazing Flame Clan, so what reason do they have to side with it?
Refusing alliance with the Blazing Flame Clan—does that brand them as villains?
This conflict wasn't even ignited by them!
It began with the Black Sun Constant Star, the Bright Day System, the Hundred Stars Alliance, and the Void Abyss Mayfly Clan, who believed they had safeguards and launched it for their own safety.
Now that the fight is underway, halting it isn't their decision to make!
Besides, the goal of this war is to annihilate the Red Sun Empire while incidentally eradicating the Wolf Pack Civilization!
Therefore, cause determines consequence!
Should they seek to eradicate the Wolf Pack Civilization, it naturally desires to wipe them out in return!
For total eradication, pulling them out by the roots proves the best method!
“Awooo!”
Once more, Su Lin unleashed a thunderous Wolf Howl that reverberated through the Starry Sky Battlefield, spurring the three primary military groups to shatter enemy lines rapidly and press on with territorial conquests!
If the Red Sun Empire’s forces manage a successful counteroffensive, it would become challenging to freely refine numerous large and small stars!
Since every star and small star serves as a reliable source of resources, nobody intends to obliterate them entirely!
“Kill! Wolf Lord, you crave death so eagerly—we’ll grant it. All Hundred Stars Alliance members, converge on Yangyang Star. We’ll lead as the core force to clash with the Wolf Pack Civilization’s three major military groups. No more scattered battles!”
The Yangyang Star Lord’s eyes burned with rage, as the Hundred Stars Alliance’s forces crumbled too swiftly once the Wolf Pack Civilization entered the fray.
Still, despite being at the Initial Stage of Half-step Forbidden, he refrained from closing in for combat, intimidated by the Wolf Lord’s dominant aura.
He sensed his own presence next to the Wolf Lord resembled a trivial feline or canine facing a colossal sea serpent.
Consequently, he hesitated to press forward, even surrounded by allied troops and shielded by Follower Battle Formations, deeming it inadequate protection.
“Hurry and assemble! Alert every other stellar military unit—if they can’t arrive, consolidate fully at Yangyang Star, our final bulwark against the Wolf Pack Civilization!”
Overwhelmed by the Wolf Lord’s unstoppable might, the Yangyang Star Lord issued fresh commands, gearing up for a pullback to Yangyang Star.
That spot houses his central stronghold, bolstered by Fortune aid and the benefits of familiar terrain.
It was originally designed as the Hundred Stars Alliance’s mightiest fortress, armed with endless Killing Arrays, Battle Formations, Fortune Arrays, and established defensive setups!
Gathering at Yangyang Star, however, signifies forfeiting around ten stars’ worth of cosmic domains.
This prospect drove the Constant Star Lords to wail in desperation: “No! We must launch one more assault! Don’t allow that Demon to ruin our Home Planet!”
On this chaotic battlefield, though, hatred and zeal alone can’t alter many outcomes.
When the disparity in raw power grows extreme, all fervor proves worthless.
“Ah!!!! Magic Wolf! Ghost Wolf! Though I perish, my curse upon you and the Wolf Pack Civilization shall endure forever!”
Before long, a Constant Star Lord overextended himself and perished in the fight.
Even in death, he channeled his remaining strength into the fiercest malediction!
Yet, as the curse’s causal thread barely grazed the Wolf Lord’s form, it shattered effortlessly!
A simple potent Heavenly Venerate, pouring his essence into cursing Su Lin, couldn’t withstand the slightest gesture!
Cursing the entire Wolf Pack Civilization is even less feasible!
“Wolf Lord! Wolf Lord! Please, have mercy on my Home Planet—I’ll obey you like a loyal hound!”
Certain Constant Star Lords, realizing defeat was inevitable, wept bloody tears and dropped to their knees.
The Hao Ri Princess swiftly severed his head without a single utterance.
She understood well that resources and Blood Food devoured by the Wolf Pack Civilization would never be relinquished, save through its destruction.
Let alone by the Wolf Lord himself?
Within this savage carnage, cries of the dying and the departed resounded endlessly, while time passed unnoticed.
.....
In an instant, centuries had elapsed.
Such a span isn’t overly extended, yet it saw more than a trillion soldiers perish across the Hundred Stars Alliance front.
That amounts to sacrificing billions upon billions of Ancestor-level beings annually!
Billions upon billions at the Ancestor level!
Remember, on a First-level Life Planet, Ancestor-level marks the apex of might, genuine rulers over vast populations!
Here and now, though, Ancestor-level fighters serve as mere fodder, no better than beasts, reduced to Blood Food!
They function only as counters and tallies!
Over these centuries, the Wolf Pack Civilization’s three chief military groups reaped a total exceeding sixty trillion enemies, seizing ten stars and more than a hundred small stars.
Observing the Wolf Pack Civilization’s brutal massacres and merciless strategies dispelled any lingering hopes for the Hundred Stars Alliance, prompting them to adopt the harshest retaliatory tactics against the Wolf Pack Civilization.
Consequently, the Wolf Pack Civilization suffered heavy losses in the war.
Midway through the conflict, they shifted tactics, declaring that non-resistant stars might be preserved,
And in zones where the Wolf Civilization Army marches, if the Star Sky Battle Flag endures unshaken for three months, those stars face extermination!
This tactical shift enabled the Wolf Pack Civilization to secure the allegiance of six stars and twenty small star entities at low expense, revealing the outer defenses of Yangyang Star in the expansive Level 5 Stellar System.
At present, the Wolf Pack Civilization’s three major military groups stand poised opposite Yangyang Star.
On this occasion, capitalizing on ambush advantages and the keen edge of their troops, the Wolf Pack Civilization secured impressive triumphs!
Within mere centuries, they claimed almost a third of the Hundred Stars Alliance’s stellar territories.
Furthermore, their casualty exchange rate astonishes at one to four!
One for the Wolf Pack Civilization, four for the Hundred Stars Alliance!
Nevertheless, the Wolf Pack Civilization’s three major military groups now total just over thirty trillion, with more than twenty trillion lost to combat.
Regarding the former Hundred Stars Alliance, they managed to rally at Yangyang Star amid the immense Level 5 Stellar System.
Their forces there number one hundred thirty-four trillion!
On top of that, they enjoy territorial bonuses, Fortune enhancements, and the prestige along with devotion from the Hundred Stars Alliance’s core, plus the long-dormant Hundred Stars Godslaying Army!
Meanwhile, the original Red Sun Empire’s troops remain locked in combat with the Bright Day System’s army, unable to lend aid to the Wolf Pack Civilization.
Hence, both the Wolf Pack Civilization and Hundred Stars Alliance view this clash as the decisive turning point for triumph and glory!
No party risks hasty action!
The Hundred Stars Alliance wavers because they’ve beheld the Wolf Pack Civilization’s unchallenged rampage over these centuries, steering clear of open starry sky skirmishes or hit-and-run tactics with the Wolf Pack Civilization!
Beyond the Wolf Pack Civilization’s superior overall caliber and power over the Hundred Stars Alliance, it stems from their inner vitality, essence, and resolve, avoiding dependence on raw force alone.
Rather, they form a force adept at swift strikes, sabotage, retreating when foes press and pursuing when foes withdraw, employing every tactic to erode the enemy.
Little surprise that various powers label them fierce raiders or fiends, for the Wolf Pack Civilization indeed wields tactics even more underhanded and dreadful than raiders or fiends!
Take this current impasse, for example—given the unclear timeframe, talks inside the Wolf Pack Civilization have already surfaced about executing all submitted star forces and converting them into Blood Food!
These talks ring far more alarming and horrifying than those of raiders or fiends, amplified ten or a hundred times!
Luckily, the Wolf Lord delivered the ultimate verdict, rejecting such proposals!
So, who would risk open starry sky skirmishes or guerrilla engagements with the Wolf Pack Civilization?
