Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded-Chapter 499 - 247: Consequences of Plunder, Darkness Approaches, Preemptive Strike (2)

Chapter 499: Chapter 247: Consequences of Plunder, Darkness Approaches, Preemptive Strike (2)

Back in the days of their youthful ambition, Bai Ye was not yet roaming the Wasteland.

From the background information Bai Ye had gathered, it appeared that this Deputy Bishop was exiled to the frontier as the controller of the Oasis Battleship due to losing the election in the Holy City Diocese.

This also meant that he was at least capable of advancing to Tier Three on his own talent back then.

However, due to the limited resource allocation within the Church, unable to support more Tier Three Kings, he was forced to become self-sufficient in the current Oasis Town.

Therefore, this Deputy Bishop must have gained profound insights into the Path of the Holy Spring, enabling him to exert some of the power of a Tier Three King.

As long as he has the Tier Three Holy Spring, defeating him would require at least a presence of the same level.

Bai Ye knew he did not possess such power, and the opponent tolerated the Li Family’s rebellion because even if they took power, it would not undermine the foundation of Oasis Town, destroying this fishing pond.

Thus, allowing them to seize Oasis Town meant it could be recaptured as soon as reinforcements from the Holy City arrived in the future. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

However, Wolf Ao’s intention was to lead over ten thousand Evolved Desolate Wolves to raid Oasis Town for a feast.

Reenacting the times of old on Old Earth and the Wasteland’s awakening, inciting a beast tide disaster involving village and city massacres.

In this way, whether it be the higher-ups of the Church or local powers like the Li Family, everyone in the Oasis would fight desperately to resist the wolf pack’s invasion.

Even to the point of setting aside past grievances to cooperate fully.

From the intelligence Bai Ye gathered, the advanced Evolutionary Power in Oasis Town included no less than ten Tier Two Evolvers.

Among them was a Level 29 powerhouse, three Mid-Tier Two powerhouses, and six Early Tier Two existences.

What worried Bai Ye even more was Lin Feng, who had just advanced to Tier Two. As a Gunpowder Ability User, although his power was only at Early Tier Two, in terms of firepower output and destruction, he could rival Late Tier Two powerhouses!

The Desert Wolf Pack planning to challenge Oasis Town with such a lineup was simply an action of losing a thousand troops to inflict an eight-hundred troop loss on the enemy.

Thinking of this, Bai Ye released her Spatial Superpower from within, creating layer upon layer of barriers around herself, while directly questioning aloud:

"You’re insane!"

"Oasis Town is not a typical heavy settlement. The firepower of an Oasis Battleship can suppress a massed charge."

"Relying on numbers against steel is unrealistic!"

"Even the village heads under Oasis Town are equipped with heavy trucks, capable of handling Leader Level Desert Wolves and the wolf packs."

"Altogether you have only four Clan Leader Level Giant Wolves, how will you cope with the firepower or Tier Two powerhouses of the Oasis?"

"Once they don their Power Armor and pin you down, they’ll use superior firepower to eliminate you one by one!"

Wolf Ao did not refute upon hearing these words but grinned malevolently and replied:

"But isn’t there still you all?"

"Follow the plan and attack Nongzhuang Village first to draw away most of their attention. Our wolf pack will then assist you by attacking other villages, while also intercepting the Oasis Battleship."

"I know this town-level battleship better than you. Under the leadership of the Wolf King, our Wolf Race has even conquered city-level giant ships..."

"Taking down this small town-level battleship, without a Tier Three King from humanity aboard, it’s just a matter of words."

"In the thousands of years I’ve guarded the Wolf King’s Tomb, I’ve become very familiar with the passersby on the Migration Highway, especially this Oasis Battleship."

"Back then, Li Hao could find a foothold only with my great assistance, capturing a group of Rock-Horned Horses to set up the Yan Jiao Horse Industry."

"Going to Oasis Town this time is just to collect interest on my previous efforts!"

With this, Wolf Ao slowly lowered his head, staring at the woman in front of him. Her strength and aura seemed stronger than when they last met, evidently close to Tier Three.

At this moment, he needed to make good use of her before she fully matured, to threaten her into helping the Wolf Race create a diversion.

If luck sided with him and she got seriously injured as a result,

Wolf Ao wouldn’t mind using her rich Source Material to extend his life post-battle, while also paving the way for his descendants to advance to Late Tier Two.

Preparing for the next Wasteland Year when dark chaos would arrive, inheriting the path of the Tier Three Wolf King:

"For you all, there’s actually no loss, just execute the plan as originally laid out."

"Right now with our Wolf Race aiding you, the raid on the Yan Jiao Horse Industry is sure to succeed!"

Bai Ye slightly furrowed her brows, realizing the opponent was banking on her need for the Yan Jiao Horse Industry to force her hand, in an effort to fan the flames, expanding the scope and intensity of the war.

But that would inevitably make the Salvation Army a player in destroying Oasis Town, landing them on the Church’s must-kill list.

Thinking of this, Bai Ye couldn’t help but ask:

"Continuing the collaboration is possible, but I’d like to know why you... No, why you alone suddenly changed your mind,"

"and personally led the entire wolf pack to attack Oasis Town!"

"Do you not realize that Oasis Town is a town-level territory under the Church, and looting the entire Oasis is bound to break previous arrangements?"

"And let’s not talk about the Temple Knights, even Tier Three Bishops can target the Desert Wolf Race. Not to mention the Royal City Influence, those Tier Three Kings who are already starving like mad will see your Wolf Race as fresh meat..."

"Whoever meets them will take a bite!"

Following the query, Wolf Ao was silent for a moment before opening his mouth and replying in a deep voice:

"Wasn’t the matter in the Taishan Ruins done by you all?"

Bai Ye knitted her brows tightly. All she did was set up a few machines, not collapse the subterranean shelter. How did things get tied to this?

After deliberating, Bai Ye replied:

"We left four days after our talks were over; the remaining humans were not Salvation Army members, but some Wanderers and people from the Oasis Church."

Upon hearing this, Wolf Ao fell into deeper silence.

Those impoverished Wanderers couldn’t possibly possess the firepower to destroy underground tunnels; it must have been members of the Church.

So why did they do it?

Back then, the sealing of the Evil God was done by the All Gods, with the Church among its supporters.

Could it be the Church is behind it now?

But no matter who is conspiring in the shadows, if the Desert Wolf Race wishes to preserve its bloodline through the coming dark chaos and into the next era, they urgently need to birth a young Late Tier Two Giant Wolf to enter the Wolf King’s Tomb, inheriting the Wolf King’s legacy and gaining a Tier Three form.

Thus producing a powerful Tier Three Wolf King, ensuring the wolf race can withstand the chaotic storm and possess the power to protect itself.

Otherwise, as Bai Ye said, they would become stray dogs that anyone could kick or attack!

With this realization, Wolf Ao replied in a hoarse voice:

"The seal at the bottom of the Ruins was destroyed."

"The chaotic times are upon us..."

"A dark era comparable to the Old Calendar times, an almost Twilight of the Gods-level remnant war has entered its final countdown!"

"We don’t have much time left!"

Upon hearing that the seal in the Relic Forbidden Area had been broken, Bai Ye was stunned for two seconds before feeling a strong suffocation, as if a hand had crossed through space to grip her throat firmly.

After regaining composure, she solemnly nodded:

"You’re right, I agree to the collaboration."

"But countless Evolved Desolate Wolves are too conspicuous; you better disperse them on either side of the crossroad, to avoid being detected in advance by the Oasis Battleship."

"Set up the ambush well, and on Holy Spring Day, we can certainly capture Oasis Town in one fell swoop!"

Wolf Ao didn’t pay much heed to Bai Ye’s suggestion; seeing her agreement to collaborate, he continued:

"There’s no time; the chance to lie in wait for rabbits is gone. We must take the initiative and launch an attack before Oasis Town arrives!"

Bai Ye’s face changed again, growing paler.

One piece of news after another had completely disrupted her once perfect plan:

"What happened again? Has there been a change in Oasis?"

Wolf Ao slightly shook his head, looking towards the crowd in the northwest, where the Ancient Zhengzhou City lay to the north and the main road from the crossroads north:

"There’s nothing major in Oasis; they are currently deciding the ownership of the battleship through a duel."

"The real issue is the migration main road to the north, where the support forces from the human Holy City are fighting a group, the latter gradually losing..."

"I’m afraid the Temple Knights from the Holy City will arrive before Oasis reaches the crossroads!"

One reason the wolf race has such a high success rate in hunting is their wide distribution, allowing them to gather extensive intelligence from the surroundings.

The presence of tens of thousands of evolved wolf race members allows Wolf Ao to understand any minor changes within a hundred kilometers around.
