Chapter 320 Wolf Ao Attacks, Turns Away to Reinforce, Kills Again
With the distant roars and howls of wolves, the strongest being in these mountains is making its way here with heavy steps.

As a giant beast left over from ancient times, Lang Ao not only has a huge body size of over 20 meters, but its strength is also the strongest existence below the third rank.

Otherwise, even if the Bishop at his peak, Bai Ye, the Salvation Army leader at the peak of the second tier, and Li Hao, the late-stage Rock Horse Warrior who broke through in battle, joined forces, they could only manage to contend with Lang Ao.

In the end, it was Lin Feng's Thermal Annihilation Cannon, whose power was comparable to that of a battleship cannon, that delivered the final blow.

Therefore, when Lang Ao appeared, all that was left for the Salvation Army and Lin Feng and the others was to escape this place as soon as possible, return to Oasis Town, and use the advantageous terrain for defense.

As Lang Ao charged in from afar, the surrounding mountains and ground trembled slightly.

This ancient behemoth, including its tail, was a full twenty-five meters long and weighed hundreds of tons. This enormous creature attacked at a speed of three hundred meters per second, and with each step it could leave deep pits several meters deep with cracks and shatters on the hard rock surface.

Although Lin Feng and the other evolved beings were not as sensitive to environmental changes as the evolved wild wolves, such obvious tremors, coupled with the previous awe-inspiring roar, made them realize the magnitude of the approaching threat.

Many first-tier evolvers immediately turned pale.

They never expected that Lang Ao, who was already seriously injured, would risk being injured again at such a critical moment, abandoning the attempt to block Oasis Town, and joining forces with other wild wolf beasts to take on the tough nut of the Salvation Army.

As for Xu Wanfeng, Bai Ye, and the others, their expressions also darkened, and they quickened their movements.

Bai Ye seized an opportunity to shout at his subordinates behind him:
"Quickly! Rejoin Lin Feng!"

The second-tier peak Wolf Ao is about to attack, and even Bai Ye, who is also at the second-tier peak, is not confident that he can stop the injured Wolf Ao.

After all, second-tier behemoths far surpass human beings of the same level in terms of both size and energy reserves.

The gap between the two sides is roughly three to five times.

In other words, it would take at least three human experts of the same level to contend with the behemoth, and that would be under full armor.

As for ancient behemoths like Wolf Ao, their bodies have accumulated terrifying third-tier power, and it would probably take five peak second-tier human experts to suppress them.

Such individuals are undoubtedly candidates for the third-tier king among the major forces, cultivated as third-tier seeds. Unless there are special circumstances, it is impossible to gather five of them.

Therefore, the reason why the Wasteland Wolf Clan has been able to survive in the Wasteland is not only because of the protection of the gods' agreement, which forbids third-tier kings from coveting and attacking the Wolf King's Tomb, but also because of the strength of the wolf clan leader, Wolf Ao, who ensures that the Wolf King's Tomb is not spied on.

Especially after several thousand years, with no third-tier kings appearing, no second-tier evolvers in the wasteland could threaten Wolf Ao.

And its Wilderness Wolf Clan naturally doesn't need to spend more resources to cultivate mid-to-late stage second-tier beings.

If it weren't for the concern about having no successor, Lang Ao wouldn't even want to cultivate a second-stage early-stage wild wolf behemoth. Using all resources to perpetuate itself is the instinct of a high-level evolved life form.

However, this ancient behemoth is now facing a major challenge.

What was initially thought to be an easily manageable, dilapidated human settlement turned into a series of unexpected events.

Not only did he suffer serious injuries because of his greed for the later-stage Rock Horse Warriors, but even the small Saviors Army that was besieged by them were killed by the humans.

Not only did they sacrifice one of their early-stage second-tier offspring in vain, but the other two are now also at risk of being killed by humans.

In order to ensure the birth of a new wolf king and the continuation of his own future, Wolf Ao, who was originally lying in ambush on one side of Oasis Avenue, had to abandon his original plan and turn back to support the rear.

After suffering heavy losses in his first attack, Wolf Ao, having learned his lesson, decided to adopt the simplest yet safest strategy for conquest...

That is to rely on the Oasis Road that cuts through the mountains to launch an attack on the approaching Oasis Town.

The mountain, hundreds of meters high, provided the best cover for the wolf army during their attack.

From the hillside into the oasis road, it only takes a short sprint of five or six hundred meters. This distance can reduce the damage from human artillery bombardment by at least half. In addition, the acceleration due to gravity when going downhill allows tens of thousands of wolves to swarm forward, one after another...

They will definitely be able to withstand the firepower of Oasis Town, break into Oasis Avenue, and storm into Oasis Town.

At that time, as long as close-range combat is engaged, the use of human artillery will be greatly restricted. The damage from rifle and machine gun bullets alone will not pose any threat to the giant wolves in the mid-to-late stages of the first tier.

In close combat with melee weapons, human evolved humans are far inferior to evolved wild wolves in terms of both size and attack and defense.

Each evolved wild wolf can fight four or five human evolved beings at the same time. However, in the resource-poor Oasis Town, the total number of evolved beings is only four thousand. After deducting the upper-class citizens who have no fighting ability, the five villages and the Oasis Church, there are only two thousand people who can fight.

Even after the initial setback, the wolf army only suffered losses of three or four hundred individuals, and the number of evolved individuals still exceeded ten thousand.

In order to ensure the annihilation of the Salvation Army, when the wolf clan formulated its battle plan, Wolf Ao specifically allocated each of the three offspring of the early second-tier wild wolf behemoths a quota of one thousand evolved wild wolves.

Among every thousand evolved wild wolf legions, there are as many as sixty or seventy leader-level giant wolves at the late stage of the first tier, totaling two hundred leader-level giant wolves.

The Salvation Army has only about one hundred evolved beings in total, of which less than thirty are late-stage Tier 1 beings.

Such a lavish gesture was intended to ensure that these three thousand evolved wolves could not only devour the Salvation Army but also restrain the evolved humans sent from Oasis Town.

If Oasis Town wants to support the Salvation Army and rescue it from the wolves, it needs to assemble an elite team led by a second-tier evolved being, with the rest of the members being late-stage first-tier beings.

A rescue team of this strength would greatly weaken the top combat power of Oasis Town, thus causing a huge negative impact on the front-line battle.

But Lang Ao knew in his heart that since Bai Ye, the leader of the Salvation Army, that strangely-looking woman, had chosen to betray them at the most crucial moment and help the humans of Oasis Town fight against him...

Oasis Town will surely reward her handsomely, and make countless promises.

The most crucial point is that an elite squad must be dispatched to support the Salvation Army members who have been detained by Bai Ye.

With the two sides joining forces, the Salvation Army, together with Oasis Town, will certainly have the confidence to fight against the Wolf Clan army.

So whether it stems from personal anger at being betrayed, or from the wolf army's grand plan to overthrow the Saviors...

Wolf Ao cannot let the Salvation Army go.

To its surprise, the three thousand evolved wild wolves, along with the three giant wild wolf beasts, were countered by the Salvation Army and the rescue team.

If the Salvation Army were allowed to break free and return to support Oasis Town, that would be the worst possible outcome for the Wasteland Wolves.

Not only will they lose a giant wolf for nothing, but they will also be locked in a stalemate with Oasis Town, eventually waiting for reinforcements from the Holy City, a top human power...

At that time, even a powerful wolf like Lang Ao at the peak of the second tier would have no choice but to lead the Wasteland Wolf Clan into the uninhabited wasteland to avoid the swift retaliation from the Holy See. After all, the Holy Spring Church, as a top-tier force in the wasteland, had eight holy cities under its command, each guarded by a late-stage third-tier Heavenly King, who was revered as a saint within the Holy See.

He is the being closest to the Lord of the Holy Spring.

Furthermore, there is more than one third-order bishop in the Holy City.

It can be said that every holy city of the Holy See could easily annihilate the evolved wolf race at its peak, personally led by a third-tier wolf king.

With its accumulated strength over thousands of years, it only needs to send out a small squad of Templar Knights to suppress Wolf Ao, who is at the peak of the second tier.

If a Grand Knight Commander at the peak of the second tier were sent, even someone as strong as Lang Ao would have to run away with his tail between his legs.

After all, that thing holds a position in the Holy See that is comparable to that of a bishop at the early stage of the third rank.

This is one of the reasons why Lang Ao is so eager to conquer Oasis Town.

Because back then, outside the ancient Zhoukou city, the wolf clan's scouts detected strong energy fluctuations, and in the ancient Zhengzhou city located on the northwest side of Oasis Avenue, there were dozens of second-order energy fluctuations.

The most imposing of them all had reached the late stage or even the peak of the second tier. Although Wolf Ao was unsure of the outcome of this battle, he was certain that the ultimate winner would make a move against Oasis Town.

After all, in this extremely harsh place near the forbidden zone of the scorching sun, apart from the settlement of Oasis Town, there is nothing worth fighting to the death for both sides.

Therefore, Lang Ao had no choice but to take the risk and act ahead of time.

However, it never expected that the three wolf-like offspring it had raised over the years would be so incompetent. Not only did they fail to hold back the Salvation Army and the Oasis Rescue Team, but one of them even perished.

This would not only change the balance of power on the field, putting the wolf clan at a disadvantage, but would also make the frontal battlefield where Lang Ao was located extremely passive.

The situation on the main battlefield is not optimistic.

In addition to the more than 3,000 evolved wild wolves assigned to their offspring, 2,000 of the remaining 7,000 wild wolf army also need to be deployed near the mountains as sentinels.

These two thousand first-tier, mid-stage evolved wild wolves not only had to monitor the movements of Oasis Town, but also had to guard against the Holy See or other human forces coming to support the Oasis.

Therefore, in the end, the wolf army led by Lang Ao was left with less than half of the original five thousand.

At this moment, with the arming of Lin Feng's convoy, almost every village in Oasis Town had nearly a thousand standard 35mm grenades, powerful enough to pose a deadly threat to a mid-to-late stage evolved first-tier wolves.

Meanwhile, in order to deal with the wolf attacks from the mountains, the villages on each side have joined forces to fight against the attacking wolves.

Even if Lang Ao wanted to unite his forces and send all his evolved wild wolves to attack the weak points in the defense of Oasis Town, he would still be met with concentrated fire from the humans.

Each side formed tank squads, which roamed around the Oasis Town, ready to support each other at any time.

This will greatly enhance the strength of the Oasis Town counterattack line.

Of course, the ultimate goal is to save as many survivors as possible and reduce casualties in the oasis.

This measure was also instructed by Lin Feng: Ding Yi, together with the leaders of the five villages, would establish a joint team consisting of five high-spec combat vehicles and twenty fully armed evolved individuals, ready to provide support to various locations at any time.

The firepower of this team is enough to kill thousands of evolved wolves in a short time, and it is also an important force in ensuring that the defense line of Oasis Town is not breached by the wolf pack.

Therefore, in order to conquer Oasis Town, Lang Ao planned to personally lead the attack.

The Oasis Town's counterattack was fiercer, but on the other hand, it was also because Wolf Ao was acting out of his own selfish motives, wanting to retrieve the corpse of Li Hao, a late-stage Tier 2 Rock Horse Warrior, to make up for the losses he had suffered from the severe injuries.

After careful observation, Lang Ao discovered that the Oasis warship's heavy weapons were fired from a window located below the bow.

Due to the limitations of the warship's structure, the firing arc of the two battleship heavy guns was only 90 degrees to the left and right, or 180 degrees directly in front.

By launching an attack from the flanks and rear of the Oasis battleship, the heavy artillery of the battleship can be effectively avoided.

As for the four 155mm howitzers on each side of the armor, they are extremely lethal to first-tier evolved wild wolves and pose a certain threat to early-stage wild wolf behemoths, but in the eyes of the second-tier peak wolf Ao, they are not worth mentioning at all.

Even if hit directly, at most the explosion will break through the surface defense, and it will not lose its ability to move on the spot.

Furthermore, the long-range trajectory of a howitzer is ineffective within a very close range of 500 meters.

Therefore, Wolf Ao planned to take advantage of the fact that the Oasis warship led the various villages behind it into the middle of the mountains before ordering his 5,000 evolved wild wolves to launch a surprise attack.

He then hid among the wolves, using the cover to launch a surprise attack on the rear of the Oasis warship.

With lightning speed, it tore through the surface protection of the Oasis warship, paralyzing it.

As the forbidden zone of the blazing sun approaches from behind, the remaining human survivors in Oasis Town will certainly no longer rely on the Oasis warship to put up a last-ditch resistance, but will instead gather an evolutionary team to break through.

By then, the survivors of the divided Oasis Town will only be attacked from both sides by the wolf pack, becoming nourishment for the wasteland wolf clan to expand its power.

But now, all plans have been shattered by unforeseen events following his death.

At the critical moment, Lang Ao had no choice but to turn back and rescue the remaining two giant wild wolves.

After all, at such a crucial moment, being a candidate for the third-tier wolf king is more important than Oasis Town.

The time allotted for the wolf clan to develop and grow was no longer enough for Lang Ao to start raising a new second-tier behemoth from scratch.

Wolf Three is alright, but Wolf One, as the first candidate, absolutely cannot be allowed to get into trouble.

However, when Lang Ao rushed towards the valley three kilometers behind him on the right at near-sonic speed...

A flash of red light, accompanied by a violent explosion, awakened the pain that Lang Ao did not want to recall.

The scenes of the devastating damage that had occurred before were now playing out again before my eyes.

Hundreds of meters away from Lang Ao, Lin Feng stood on the mountaintop and fired another Heat Melt Annihilation Cannon at the two giant wild wolf beasts in the distance!

Lin Feng never misses an opportunity to severely damage the Wilderness Wolf Clan, even if it might anger Wolf Ao, who is at the peak of the second tier.
