Just as the humanoid shadow’s thoughts landed, the Northern Desert Sandworm Clan and the Cold Cicada Clan swiftly approached from afar.

Even for these two bloated races, they covered over two thousand miles in just four hours, arriving near this Northern Border Defense Line, once belonging to the Dragon Country!

"Hiss!"

"Buzz!"

As soon as the Northern Desert Sandworm King and Cold Cicada King entered the dual lines of defense, they encountered resistance,

and so they ceased any pretense and let out piercing cries directly into the air,

igniting a large-scale war between the Northern Desert Sandworm Clan, the Cold Cicada Clan, and the Theological Alliance!

It was as if both sides had anticipated this all along!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Heaven-shaking energy waves and rule-based fluctuations exploded along the Northern Border Defense Line.

When Mo Haiqing saw that the Northern Desert Sandworm Clan and Cold Cicada Clan had arrived just as the Deity had predicted, an uncontrollable sense of shock and dread surged within him.

The shock came from the Deity’s vision and strategy that had reached an uncanny level far beyond what typical Ancestral Species could comprehend.

The dread arose from the realization that if he alone had been in charge, the Northern Desert Sandworm Clan and Cold Cicada Clan might have tricked them into abandoning the six lines of defense, breaching directly into the interior!

It’s worth noting that the Northern Border Defense Line had long been a bastion against the Wolf Pack Civilization and was always hard to breach, yet if penetrated, it would be defensively precarious!

Taking a deep breath to calm himself, Mo Haiqing’s respect for the Deity deepened, and he roared into his communication device, issuing orders for the large-scale war against the Northern Desert Sandworm Clan and Cold Cicada Clan.

This was, without a doubt, the most severe challenge the Northern Border Defense Line had ever faced.

Even the earlier large-scale assaults by the Northern Desert Sandworm Clan after the Wolf Pack ascended to civilization couldn’t compare.

At that time, the Northern Desert Sandworm Clan had hollowed out numerous underground tunnels, catching the Northern Border Defense Line unprepared.

"Kill!"

"Buzz!"

"Hiss!"

For a moment,

the entire battlefield echoed with shouts of slaughter from the Northern Desert Sandworm Clan, Cold Cicada Clan, and humans alike.

Amid this chaos, Mo Haiqing, the Northern Desert Sandworm King, and the Cold Cicada King each summoned their followers to act as sharp vanguard forces, aiming to take down the toughest targets on the battlefield.

At the same time, numerous valiant war generals from various factions emerged in the fray!

Among them were the substandard rule-based mecha warriors of the New Humans. Though not at the Ancestral Species level, they relied on the underground Force of Fortune to hunt down Ancestral Beasts from the Northern Desert Sandworm Clan and Cold Cicada Clan.

Yet, the determination once reflected in their eyes—willing to fight to the death and ignoring all fears—was now barely evident.

This change stemmed from Mo Haiqing leading them to align with the Theological Alliance, a shift that eroded much of their original conviction, leaving many unsure of what they were fighting for.

Even so, their long-standing discipline compelled them onto the battlefield through sheer inertia.

Meanwhile, there were plenty of brave Northern Desert Sandworms from the Northern Desert Sandworm Clan!

Though belonging to an insect species with weak individual strength, the staggering number of six billion ensured there were countless brave and formidable warriors among them!

Many had reached Apocalyptic Level strength, while seven or eight among them stood as Ancestral Level beings.

The battlefield was a scene of unrestrained and bloody fighting from both sides.

Dismembered limbs, shattered bones, and blood-stained remains were scattered everywhere. Scenes that would terrify anyone during peaceful times were now ordinary here.

The roar of various technology weapons echoed incessantly.

Scarlet tongues of fire swept purposefully across the Northern Desert Sandworms and Cold Cicada Clan members.

Even nuclear weapons were launched at dense concentrations of the Northern Desert Sandworm and Cold Cicada Clans under Mo Haiqing’s orders.

Boom!

Boom!

Giant mushroom clouds ascended into the sky.

For the moment, thanks to the prior warnings of the humanoid shadow, the Northern Border Defense Line had made early preparations, tipping the battlefield in favor of crushing the Northern Desert Sandworm Clan and Cold Cicada Clan.

Still, the hope of swiftly eliminating the seven billion-strong coalition of the Northern Desert Sandworm Clan and Cold Cicada Clan was far-fetched.

Even seven billion ordinary insects would take a long time to completely annihilate, let alone these exotic beasts.

Moreover, the Northern Desert Sandworm Clan and Cold Cicada Clan drew strength from their respective Forces of Fortune.

With a joint cry from the Northern Desert Sandworm King and Cold Cicada King, they tapped into the essence blood, spirituality, and marks sealed within the Wolf Pack Destiny Stone, activating even the Wolf Pack Civilization’s fortune.

This act effectively sacrificed the recently formed Mongol Empire Alliance, making it a vassal of the Wolf Pack Civilization!

With the combined fortune of the Wolf Pack Civilization and Mongol Empire Alliance, the Northern Desert Sandworm Clan and Cold Cicada Clan managed to hold their ground amid the concentrated barrage of technology weapons.

The skirmish had entered a fever pitch right from the beginning.

Both sides suffered considerable losses, yet the casualties among the Northern Desert Sandworm Clan and Cold Cicada Clan were higher due to their sheer numbers.

Even so, their immense population of billions meant that a 10-to-1 casualty ratio would still be a cost they could absorb!

.......

Meanwhile, as the two sides clashed head-on,

Maimed Ear and Rock Thunderbird, who had been chasing after the fleeing Northern Desert Sandworm Clan and Cold Cicada Clan, suddenly collided with the interception forces of the Hundred Beasts Alliance!

The massive and sturdy figure of the White Elephant King, though inconspicuous in the vast expanse of heaven and earth, radiated a formidable aura as imposing as an indestructible fortress.

At this moment, Maimed Ear and Rock Thunderbird remained utterly baffled by the unfolding battle.

After carving through the entire Mongol Empire region and arriving at the Burial Cow Valley where the Northern Desert Sandworm Clan resided with unyielding resolve, they found the six to seven billion-strong coalition of the Northern Desert Sandworm Clan and Cold Cicada Clan utterly routed at first contact!

Utterly routed!

The collapse happened faster than during any of Maimed Ear’s prior conquests!

Maimed Ear was bewildered, unsure of what the Northern Desert Sandworm Clan and Cold Cicada Clan were doing.

Six to seven billion troops!

Even if the Cold Cicada King and Northern Desert Sandworm King were useless, sheer brute force alone could have overwhelmed his and Rock Thunderbird’s Wolf Pack forces!

Maimed Ear and Rock Thunderbird had come prepared to fight to the death.

If they could severely damage the Northern Desert Sandworm Clan and Cold Cicada Clan, it would secure a world-shocking achievement for the Wolf Pack Coalition. Failing that, it would at least compel the Heavenly Fox King to bring his full army to their aid.

After all, if the Heavenly Fox King were to let them perish entirely, the Wolf Pack Coalition, which he unified as the Wolf King, would surely collapse!

If a Wolf King couldn’t protect his battlefield generals, was he even worthy of being a Wolf King?

But as Maimed Ear and Rock Thunderbird pursued the enemy, they unexpectedly encountered the forces of the Hundred Beasts Alliance!

The Hundred Beasts Alliance!

This faction, based in South Africa, had fallen from grace as a monstrous force yet had fought under the Wolf Lord’s banner for years, participating in nearly every campaign.

Now, Maimed Ear and Rock Thunderbird sensed an unparalleled killing intent and battle spirit emanating from the White Elephant King, Vulture King, and even the newly risen Lion King within the Alliance.

This surging wave of aggression swept away any prior fealty or subservience they once showed to the Wolf Pack Civilization!

Especially in the cold, ruthless gaze of the White Elephant King, Maimed Ear and Rock Thunderbird sensed chilling unfamiliarity and indifference.

"Howl!"

"Screech!"

With long howls, Maimed Ear and Rock Thunderbird ordered their millions of exotic beasts to halt completely mid-pursuit!

The millions of Wolf Pack Civilization’s elite aces now stood face-to-face with the nearly thirty million elite forces of the Hundred Beasts Alliance under the White Elephant King’s command, separated by just two to three hundred miles.

For beings of their caliber, such a distance was negligible.

Yet Maimed Ear and Rock Thunderbird, vaguely sensing they had miscalculated the unfolding events and the actions of the Cold Cicada Clan and Northern Desert Sandworm Clan, opted for caution. They instructed their elite scouts to return to the Wolf Pack Coalition to report everything to the Heavenly Fox King!

Meanwhile, Maimed Ear and Rock Thunderbird remained with their millions of elite troopers.

As the backbone of these forces, their presence guaranteed that these elites would fight to the bitter end!

Soon, as the Northern Border battle escalated,

it didn’t take long for news about the bloodbath between the Northern Desert Sandworm Clan, Cold Cicada Clan, and the Theological Alliance to spread across the Northern Border and the entire world!

The attention of the world was firmly fixed on this conflict that swept across nearly the entire Eurasia continent—not just the Theological Alliance and Wolf Pack Civilization.

Days later,

reports from the Northern Border battlefield struck the world like thunder, spreading rapidly.

The Northern Desert Sandworm Clan and Cold Cicada Clan, who were locked in a standstill with the Wolf Pack Coalition, suddenly turned their seven-billion-strong army to storm the Northern Border Defense Line, clashing with the Theological Alliance and over a billion Northern Border human forces.

The bloodbath spanned several days. The Northern Desert Sandworm King and Cold Cicada King fought ferociously, throwing every exotic beast under their command into battle without regard for life, conquering five of the six Northern Border defense lines!

At the last line of defense, corpses piled high, and rivers of blood flowed endlessly!

The battle still raged on without a decisive winner!

The intense fighting left over a billion humans on the Northern Border utterly terrified. Most of the technology weapons, including nuclear missiles, were exhausted.

Nearly ten million mech warriors had been deployed, with six to seven million destroyed in this gruesome confrontation, underscoring the unprecedented brutality!

One battle was all it took for the Northern Desert Sandworm and Cold Cicada Clans to demonstrate their overwhelming power, drawing the attention of every other force!

Moreover,

Maimed Ear, leading the Greenland stronghold’s army, and Rock Thunderbird, commanding elite forces of the Land of Adventure, clashed head-on with the White Elephant King!

Their elite forces wreaked havoc across the Mongol Empire region, shattering the terrain itself!

Maimed Ear, driven by arrogance, pushed his Ferocious Wolf Talent to its late-stage culmination, attempting a desperate blood battle
