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's reluctance to charge ahead recklessly stems unexpectedly from their limited forces.
Thirty trillion pitted against one hundred and thirty-four trillion!
Despite the arrogance and overconfidence of the Wolf Pack Civilization's generals and kings, they lack the assurance to devour the enemy side.
What's more, the enemy boasts a Level 5 Star System as their stronghold and defensive barrier!
"Wolf Lord! The military supplies pledged by the Red Sun Empire have ceased arriving! Even the compensation for our fallen exotic beasts in combat has been withheld for ages. We battled fiercely on their behalf, holding back 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 intent.
It was the Vulture King who first suggested wiping out those Stellar System species and turning them into blood sustenance.
With the Red Sun Empire's military aid and compensation halted,
the Wolf Pack Civilization fights on dual fronts, and expecting them to supply vast resources across such a remote line is nothing but a dream.
Thus, without alternative sources, once the blood food gathered over centuries runs dry,
even the Wolf Lord's leadership here can't prevent the Wolf Pack Civilization's forces from weakening.
Such words sparked intense discussions across the Wolf Pack Civilization,
particularly because compensation and wartime expenditures demand huge resources for any power.
Additionally, the Wolf Lord has integrated the companion stars and minor stars into the wolf's form, leaving merely some blood food to split among the three primary army divisions.
These supplies would barely last a few hundred years.
So, numerous exotic beasts pondered revisiting past issues, yet the Wolf Lord's icy stare silenced them all.
"Regarding the Red Sun Empire's problems, I will press them; the Emperor Pavilion will handle full compensation for lost exotic beasts, but I forbid any talk of targeting those yielding Stellar System factions!"
Su Lin's cool spiritual intent echoed, compelling all attending kings and generals in the Wolf Pack war council to nod in agreement!
At present, for a handful of yielding Stellar System groups and scores of small stars, three warnings mark the limit for the Wolf Lord and Wolf Pack Civilization—defiers face death!
Certain War Kings and War Generals here might be used to extreme deception and betrayal, seeing no issue with the idea.
However, they overlook that if those few stars and many small stars are fully eradicated and consumed as blood food,
which power would still yield to the Wolf Pack Civilization?
The Wolf Pack Civilization would lose all credibility across the stars!
Forces of the Hundred Stars Alliance would launch ruthless blood raids on the Wolf Pack Civilization!
Hence, a bottom line must exist!
Attacking the yielded, rebellion, and similar acts—that's the Wolf Pack Civilization's red line!
"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 concentrate there, seeming poised to decide the war in one clash!"
Within the council, the Hao Ri Princess shattered the quiet, issuing an inquiring spiritual intent.
"Or perhaps we pull back, 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 save their War Commander and hundred-trillion troops?"
Fox-tail Algae chimed in with its own question.
Clearly, despite the Wolf Lord's control, 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, unaccustomed to enduring losses or 'quiet endurance,' would have already shifted tactics, crushing the Red Sun Empire's War Commander and their hundreds of trillions of troops for resources!
Meanwhile, Ghost Firefly from the adjacent Shadow Army Group offered its input and intel: "Wolf Lord, I agree with Fox-tail Algae; there's no cause to rescue the Red Sun Empire's forces. Moreover, the Roach Emperor's position grows dire; the full Black Sun Star System has appeared, with seventy trillion Sin Army and forty trillion Vassal Forces surging toward the Roach Emperor's domain, clashing savagely with the Undying Cockroach Army Group.
In merely over a decade, the Undying Cockroach Army Group has lost over twenty percent of its strength, and the Nuclear Source Cockroach King has perished. The Roach Emperor, furious and deranged, recreated the Sin Extinction Array, absorbing the sin essence from the slain into himself, yet he scarcely endured a handful of strikes from Black Sun’s Lord. Gravely injured, he withdrew, resorting to stalemates and hit-and-run tactics against the Black Sun Star Power!"
Ghost Firefly's input and report plunged the entire meeting into hush.
For the Wolf Pack Civilization's War Kings and Generals, long engaged in combat, this spiritual intent revealed the ferocity of the Extreme South Battle!
That's the Roach Emperor!
In the Wolf Pack Civilization, he ranks among the top in power, commanded forces, and elite status!
During the feudal grants years back, the Roach Emperor had hit mid-stage peak, gaining the Wolf Lord's Origin Essence Blood and spoils from defeating a Peak Heavenly Venerate in the Sea of Star Sand!
Over tens of thousands of years, his fighting ability must have surged.
Yet, even fused with sin essence, he fell after just a few exchanges—consider the enemy's might?
And in only over ten years, with twenty percent losses for the Undying Cockroach Army Group, the Nuclear Source Cockroach King slain!
Thus, envisioning the vastness of that grand conflict, one can grasp its intensity.
The Wolf Lord assigned the Roach Emperor to hold for a thousand years!
But now, it seems even a century might be too much!
After all, the Black Sun Star commands a Sin Army power, a resilient Sin Army evolved from a minor star into a mighty star system.
Most of its forces have undergone transformation, bearing the Mark of Sin, with formidable battle prowess!
Nominally just over a million, yet it matches a standard three hundred trillion ancestral force!
Right after Ghost Firefly shared this intel, the assembly stayed quiet for an extended moment before the Wolf Lord gradually sent out a spiritual intent.
This intent drew on immense destiny once more, directing Ghost Firefly to dispatch a rule-enforced secret scroll!
It again demanded the Roach Emperor meet the objectives, stalling the Black Sun Stellar System for a thousand years!
Su Lin vowed the chief merit of this fight to the Roach Emperor, tripling vassal town expansions, plus Nine Honors, crowning him the paramount Nine-Conferral War Emperor in the Wolf Pack Civilization!
The Wolf Lord's pledge weighs like mountains upon mountains!
But the Roach Emperor and Undying Cockroach Army Group must survive to claim it!
Does this mean pitting the Roach Emperor's army against the Black Sun Stellar System's full might?
For an instant, all kings and generals pondered if the Wolf Lord aimed to let the Black Sun Stellar System wipe out the Roach Emperor and Undying Cockroach Army Group?
Else, why such a harsh command?
Yet, as they lingered in stunned pause, the Wolf Lord rose steadily, eyes fixed on Yangyang Star, then concluded the session.
"I trust the Roach Emperor and Undying Cockroach Army Group can trade their lives for a thousand years, so we must grasp and value this millennium. Henceforth, I command: any who mention withdrawal again dies on the spot! In this war, our Wolf Pack Civilization wagers all and presses forward without halt! Should we lose, I'll perish first, falling ahead of you all!"
Following Su Lin's unyielding and determined spiritual intent, every king and general in the Wolf Pack Civilization Council rose with grave resolve!
Next,
the Wolf Lord detailed anew the plan to eradicate the Hundred Stars Alliance!
In this conflict, direct assault on Yangyang Star is off-limits, as the Wolf Pack Civilization can't bear it!
They'll skirt Yangyang Star, massacre the leftover stars and small stars behind, and Su Lin wonders if the gathered stellar forces at Yangyang Star can hold firm seeing their home worlds razed?
Su Lin realized many kings and generals might not grasp his insistence on purging the Hundred Stars Alliance first.
But some matters require no comprehension, only obedience!
Eliminating the Hundred Stars Alliance was the Wolf Pack Civilization's strategy for this epic clash from the start!
Without resolving the Hundred Stars Alliance, true mental strain and threat won't hit the Bright Day System, Black Sun Stellar System, and Void Abyss Mayfly Clan, trapping the Wolf Pack Civilization in encirclement!
Indeed, if the Hundred Stars Alliance lingers,
once the Black Sun Stellar System overruns the Roach Emperor's holdings, the Wolf Pack Civilization faces assault from three flanks!
Thus, this sudden strike on the Hundred Stars Alliance aims not to aid any Red Sun Empire, but to shatter the deadlock!
Besides, Su Lin nurtures a private ambition.
For he senses the resurgence of his inner Heavenly Boundary True Intent, nearing breakthrough!
The Heavenly Boundary True Intent boils at its peak; without reining in the Mysterious White Cloud's force, he could ascend two levels anew, vaulting to genuine Peak Ten Heavens!
Yet he knows renewing the ancient heavenly boundary path and shattering present heavenly limits falls short!
Far short!
At minimum, blood-refining the Hundred Stars or devouring a full Level 5 Peak Stellar System is needed for the leap!
Renewing the ancient heavenly boundary path may prove as binding as the Star Sand Master's sin aura cultivation!
But for the moment, Su Lin lacks time for deep reflection. Swift ascension is essential, for post-Wangshu Zone war, only one side endures.
Even victory for Red Sun Empire and Wolf Pack Civilization brings scant peaceful years between these military giants!
Thus, to guide the Wolf Pack Civilization further, Su Lin must swiftly bolster his power.
Even if it demands razing the Hundred Stars Alliance's ancient starry domains, sparing no small star or star!
Still, Su Lin avoids utter ruthlessness, offering stellar and minor stellar powers a surrender option!
But if they squander it, he holds no blame!
This starry void is truly shadowed, where logic and mercy mean nothing!
Feebleness is the ultimate sin!
Even if the Wolf Pack Civilization shows mercy now, stronger predators will harvest them later!
.....
After days of recovery, a earth-shaking Wolf Howl rang out, propelling the Wolf Pack Civilization's three grand army groups—like ravenous wolves—to veer around the Flame Sun Star System and charge toward the rear, home to dozens of stars and hundreds of small stars with scant defenses left.
Even the Nightmare Army deployed the Space-Time Altar afresh, teleporting directly to spearhead the Wolf Pack Civilization's assault!
