Chapter 690 - 330: A Plan to Recover, the Final Struggle (Part 2)
But the fatigued and fleeing Lang San naturally lacked the strength to rescue Wolf Da, or perhaps it was intentional...
The result was that, after this battle, the Desert Wolf Race not only lost two of their strongest Early-stage Desolate Wolf Beasts, but even the leader Wolf Ao was seriously injured.
At this moment, Lang San slowly approached, dismissed the loyal giant wolves on both sides, and reported to Wolf Ao:
"Big brother was directly hit by the firepower of the human Gunpowder Ability User, and his life is uncertain now. He is most likely already dead. Nearly a hundred other members were killed, and seven to eight hundred were injured."
Wolf Ao slowly opened his eyes, his blood-red pupils no longer as fierce as before, now covered with a layer of frost, wisps of white smoke ceaselessly seeping from them.
Looking at the kneeling and lowered-head Lang San in front of him, Wolf Ao thought for a long time before finally speaking:
"Although the combat operation failed, the Wolf Race cannot retreat just yet. We must make up for the previous losses..."
"Let each tribal leader lead their subordinates to freely attack Oasis Town, especially targeting humans at the end of the Oasis Settlement, using their deaths to compensate for our losses."
"Besides, change the original siege plan to continuous harassment by small groups. It would be best if Oasis Town collapses on its own, creating distance between the Oasis Battleship and the Five Major Villages."
"The Oasis Battleship can no longer attack forcefully. We need to focus our target on the villages behind, especially those with Rock Horse Armor."
"Use the Tier Two Body of the Rock Horse Warriors to compensate for the loss of our Tier Two Commanders!"
Upon saying this, Wolf Ao suddenly recalled that while pursuing the Salvation Army’s main force, he sensed a Rock Horse Warrior’s aura escaping from the squad.
This aura’s intensity was comparable to Mid-level Two.
But wasn’t there only one Mid-Tier Two Rock Horse Warrior in Oasis Town, the now deceased Li Hao?
When did they get another one?
Could it be that Oasis Town, to cope with this crisis, provided a large amount of Evolutionary Resources to one of the Early-stage Rock Horse Warriors, temporarily cultivating a Mid-stage Being?
This way, they could form a Tier Two Elite Squad to support the Salvation Army against the Wolf Race’s Three-headed Desolate Wolf Beast.
At that time, Wolf Ao intended to send the surviving Wolf Da and Lang San to pursue this Rock Horse Warrior who escaped the Salvation Army.
But considering the life or death of the Salvation Army, especially the leader Bai Ye and the human Gunpowder Ability User, were more important for the Desert Wolf Race to annihilate Oasis Town...
Wolf Ao chose to temporarily let the escaping Rock Horse Warrior go, planning to prioritize the Salvation Army first.
And now, with the continued pursuit of the Salvation Army looking hopeless, that Rock Horse Warrior who previously escaped from the main force naturally became the Desert Wolf Race’s second-best choice.
After alleviating the invasion of aberrant cells in his body, Wolf Ao saw that the wound on his lower abdomen had initially healed, the wound scabbed over, and the internal organs began to regrow. So, he took the only remaining Desolate Wolf Beast, Lang San, to pursue the Rock Horse Warrior who had fled into the Wilderness from the right side of Oasis Avenue.
Even though the opponent had already escaped for six or seven minutes.
With the average speed of a Mid-stage Rock Horse Warrior, he was probably tens of kilometers away. But for the Desert Wolf Race, especially the Tier Two Desolate Wolf Beasts, the Rock-Horned Horse aura emanating from the Rock Horse Warrior was like a beacon in the night.
Even hundreds of kilometers away, they could accurately identify it amidst the complicated pheromones in the air, thereby locking onto the opponent’s trajectory.
Moreover, a human Tier Two Rock Horse Warrior was far inferior to a genuine Tier Two Rock Horse Giant Beast, which possessed ultra-long-distance travel capability, running at a speed of 100 meters per second could only last two or three minutes at most for a human Evolver’s physique.
Running twenty kilometers was the limit.
That’s why Wolf Ao previously allowed this deserter Rock Horse Warrior to escape from the Desert Wolf Race’s encirclement.
As long as the opponent needed to cool off, they would inevitably expose their Rock Horse Giant Beast aura, thereby pointing the wolves in the direction for their subsequent pursuit.
As for taking the only remaining Desolate Wolf Beast, Lang San, besides Wolf Ao not being able to use Tier Three Power and fearing letting this Rock Horse Warrior with a Mid-Tier Two aura escape, there was also the intention to cultivate Lang San.
Currently, there was only one Early-stage Desolate Wolf Beast left.
About two years remain until the re-emergence of the Taishan Ruins leaving the Scorching Sun Forbidden Area and appearing in the Wasteland.
In Wolf Ao’s current state, coupled with the failed siege plan of Oasis Town and the heavy loss suffered by the Desert Wolf Race, there’s no capacity to start nurturing a second Desolate Wolf Beast to make up for the tribe’s losses.
The only choice now is to pour all efforts into quickly nurturing the sole surviving Lang San to Late Tier Two.
Possessing the qualification and ability to inherit the Wolf King’s Body.
As the two Tier Two Giant Wolves disappeared into the mountains, the town-breaking beast calamity attacking Oasis Town was silently being resolved.
The remaining Leader-level Giant Wolves, with their remaining subordinates, although obeyed Wolf Ao’s commands to continue harassing the human Settlement on Oasis Avenue, the intensity was far less fierce than before.
On the contrary, in order to compensate for their tribes’ losses as much as possible, they selectively launched rounds of plunder on the weakest parts of Oasis Town.
For example, Oasis Town is advancing at full speed of five kilometers per hour, to break through the Desert Wolf Race’s blockade and quickly move away from this mountainous area.
This speed can still be maintained for a bit by the permanent residents with vehicles in Oasis Town, but for the fifty to sixty thousand Deserters, who were initially trailing at the end of Oasis...
