Chapter 276 Temporary Alliance. _2
```
But in the future, this Wolf Pack is destined to become a major threat to Great Russia and to all human factions alike!
Even Tang Nasen had foreseen that, years later, in the struggle for the supreme position of Earth Overlord, humans and this uncivilized Wolf Pack would engage in a bloodbath the likes of which had never been seen before!
Tang Nasen didn't know whether, in the future, he who signed this treaty would become the greatest sinner of mankind.
But now it was the only way to save Great Russia!
Under this heavy burden, Tang Nasen began his journey back from the Arctic, piloting his mecha with a group of followers.
Upon his return, Tang Nasen, weighed down by his emotions, took the treaty and without delay went to report to the Capital City.
However, the Commander of the Empire, in the supreme conference hall, looked over the treaty without much change in emotion, but nodded his head in approval of Tang Nasen's Arctic mission, "Good, it has been a hard journey, Old Marshal Tang."
Tang Nasen shook his head, expressing his shame, "Not hard, but I feel that the treaty is too humiliating, and, moreover, that Wolf Pack is too terrifying. Every species is within its range of expansion; as long as one serves the Wolf Pack, even humans can be absorbed. The one I negotiated with turned out to be a New Human of considerable strength. I worry that in the future this Wolf Pack will become a great enemy of all humankind!"
After hearing Tang Nasen's concerns,
the Empire's Commander, though only a little over three meters tall, but radiating an intense authority, fell silent for a long while before slowly looking at the vast map and saying, "I understand your point, Old Marshal Tang, but don't blame yourself. The current state of the world is too chaotic, and no one can predict where humanity's future lies—not even rulers like us!
All we can do is lead our subjects to survive in the cracks, and no matter what, we must ensure our survival first! Do we really have to surrender to the Theological Alliance like those minor factions?
The Theological Alliance has never been righteous! Even if we yielded, as Mord once said, how many people could the Theological Alliance take in? Once we lose our power, what good would come to us there?"
This solemn declaration from Great Russia's highest authority left Tang Nasen silent as well.
In the end, in silence, both sides quietly observed the map before them, their eyes filled with a heavy and reluctant expression.
Both knew that if it were not for such a severe era, no one would have made such a humiliating choice!
As for what unprecedented growth and enhancement the Wolf Pack might achieve, having acquired over eight hundred miles of diverse and resource-rich lands, was no longer something they could contemplate at the moment.
What they pondered now was how to lead the tens of millions of warriors and hundreds of millions of people under their command to survive in the current chaotic situation!
Moreover, they still possessed the Hand of God and many other hidden trump cards deep within their arsenal, and they had not yet reached a point of utter desperation,
They still had the strength for a final stand, though they did not know how many of their kin would survive such a reckless gamble.
...
Several days later,
the fourth global Peak conference was convened!
The number of participants this time was far fewer than before, and indeed, few people even knew of the meeting's occurrence.
Only the upper echelons of the six strongest forces and the top researchers of the Science Alliance were informed, and now they were all present.
Less than fifty people attended the meeting, and even the conference hall had been subjected to the highest levels of confidentiality measures!
All devices capable of recording or capturing images had been confiscated, and the conference room underwent several rounds of inspections.
And the people who had come to the meeting were all of such renown that each of their names would ring out like thunder outside.
Yet each of them sat silently in their respective places, quietly exchanging and perusing data from their own forces.
Under the dual pressures of the Theological Alliance and the Mutated Creatures, all major forces officially set aside their past grievances to establish a true unified front!
After reading the data for quite some time, the spokesperson chosen by the Science Alliance finally broke the silence and spoke, "I don't want to waste time on pleasantries. Since the Science Alliance has been appointed to lead this meeting, I'd like to address two points,
Firstly, I'd like to ask everyone what your views are on the Theological Alliance? What strategies should we adopt for the future to deal with the Theological Alliance, and what strategies should we employ against the Holy Land of the Three Religions in Jerusalem?
Secondly, in our fight against the Mutated Creatures, our Science Alliance has indeed developed the latest Genetic Modification that can maximize human strength. However, both lifespan and intelligence will be reduced to less than one-tenth of their original. Once the genetically modified New Humans arrive, there will be a significant gap in the ranks of the strong within your forces. So, I must ask, are you all truly prepared for such a heavy cost?"
After the Science Alliance spokesperson finished speaking, everyone in the room looked up at him!
Their eyes carried an ultimate weight, and their brows were furrowed with indelible worry.
However, not a single one showed any hesitation or retreat in their eyes.
Because in these chaotic times, the fact that they could still shoulder the pressure and come to this meeting had already demonstrated their stance.
...
However, while the world meeting was being held around the globe, the Arctic had begun a fierce confrontation.
In an instant, Su Lin appeared in front of the Invincible Fierce Tiger. Struggling to lift its head, the Invincible Fierce Tiger could only see the White Wolf's bloodstained neck, its silvery-white fur tinged red with blood. Frosted crystals formed on the fur amidst the cold Arctic air, and a pungent smell of blood at that moment wafted into the nose of the Invincible Fierce Tiger.
The Invincible Fierce Tiger imperceptibly sniffed the scent of the creature before it. The familiar Wolf Clan's odor filled it with trepidation—it couldn't understand why the usually weak Wolf Clan had become so strong, strong to the point where it could only look up.
Su Lin glanced sidelong at the immobile Invincible Fierce Tiger under its paw. He had no idea what the tiger was thinking at the moment, and even if he did, he wouldn't be kindly inclined to explain. The world had drastically changed.
The White Wolf raised its Wolf Claw high, and in the next moment brought it down fiercely onto the neck of the Invincible Fierce Tiger. After twitching violently a couple of times, the Invincible Fierce Tiger lost all signs of life, becoming a lifeless body that couldn't move anymore.
Blood gushed from the veins of the Invincible Fierce Tiger. The White Wolf revealed its sharp Fanged Teeth and began to enjoy the delicious feast of plasma, slurping up the fresh blood of this Siberian ruler. The sweet and nourishing taste spread through Su Lin's mouth, satisfying his taste buds and momentarily easing his body.
Su Lin completely disregarded the reaction of the Inuit people. These feeble beings could be wiped from existence with just a thought from him.
At the moment, Su Lin was still slowly devouring the flesh of the Invincible Fierce Tiger.
The flesh of the Invincible Fierce Tiger, being among the finest of the Variant Species, was naturally tender and its taste was vastly different from the Variant Species Flesh Su Lin had eaten before, no doubt due to the higher Level of the Invincible Fierce Tiger.
And the benefits that this flesh of the Invincible Fierce Tiger brought to him were needless to say; Su Lin felt a comfortable Strength coursing through his veins, rejuvenating his fatigued body after the long battle, giving him a refreshing sensation as if he had been reborn.
"Aow—"
After gnawing a few bites of the flesh, Su Lin let out a long howl to the heavens, as if only this could extend the enduring breath within him.
The Wolf Pack behind him, hearing Su Lin's continuous howl, lifted their heads one by one to echo his voice. For a time, on the surface of the ice, the robust and intense aura of the White Wolf kind filled the air; this glacial territory had quietly changed hands, and White Wolf Su Lin became the new uncrowned king of this land!
After finishing his meal, there was still plenty of the tiger's meat remaining.
