Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded.

Chapter 247: Consequences of the Plunder, Darkness is Coming, Attack in Advance
Just looting a farm village and attacking an entire oasis town are two completely different concepts.

The former was just a minor incident, even if it had a short-term impact on Oasis Town, such as causing a food shortage crisis...

But it does not affect the Oasis Town settlement, which continues to exist and develop.

Moreover, the targets of the looting were only the farm village and the Li family behind it, and did not cause much damage to the Oasis Holy Spring Sect and the Oasis warships.

Even if it was recorded, it would only add a minor crime to the Savior Army and increase the reward by tens of thousands of points.

Not only would the Holy Spring Church not care, even the bounty hunters in the guild would not challenge a top-tier second-rate force for such a small number of points.

In Bai Ye's opinion, at this point in time, their attack on the Farm Village was entirely to help the Oasis Church deal with the rebellious Li family.

If it weren't for the wanderer's wanted status, the Salvation Army could have cooperated with the church and, after being hired, launched a very just attack on Nongzhuang Village and the Li family in a legal capacity.

Unfortunately, it is obviously impossible for the church to do this.

This is a blow to the legitimacy of the Holy Spring Cult's rule.

This is another reason why Bai Ye values ​​Lin Feng so much. The other party has the status of a free man and can negotiate with the church for cooperation.

But even so, the Salvation Army spared no effort to attack the farm village and fight against the Li family's power. At this tense moment, they were helping the church to suppress the riot that was sweeping across the oasis.

Therefore, Bai Ye was not worried that the actions of the Salvation Army would be regarded as a grudge by the official Holy Spring Church.

On the contrary, Oasis Church might help itself by covering up the incident and erasing any trace of the Salvation Army's existence.

In addition, the Salvation Army has already negotiated the terms of cooperation with Lin Feng, and has arranged an insider in the farm village. Even without the help of the Wasteland Wolf Clan, they can still defeat the Li family in this robbery.

However, the above situations are all based on the assumption that the Salvation Army only targeted the farm villages and robbed the wildebeest industry.

But if the target of the attack and looting is an entire oasis town...

The situation and consequences would be completely different!

To the Holy Spring Sect, the small farm village and the Li family were just a group of fish raised in the pond in Oasis Town when they had nothing to do.

When you have nothing to do, just catch a few fish to eat. When the fish grow bigger and fatter, you can cast the net and catch a wave of big ones.

If the fish pond is occupied by outside anglers who secretly catch some fish, it is actually harmless.

As long as the fish pond is still there, the number of fish will continue to increase. Even if we are ruthless and take away all the big fish in the pond, it will not actually affect the church.

At worst, we can wait a few more years and cultivate a new group of higher quality and more obedient fish from the bottom fry.

But if someone comes to steal fish, they can just blow up the fish, electrocute them, or even drug them, killing all the fish in the pond, big and small. They may even destroy the pond dam, pump out the water for raising fish, and destroy the foundation of the fish pond in Oasis Town.

Let alone the Oasis Church, even the bishopric in the Holy City would be furious and strike with thunder.

For any force that launches an attack and participates in destroying the foundation of Oasis Town, it is not as simple as just recording the crime and increasing the bounty...

At least a level one wanted order will be issued, and the reward will be upgraded from the original point reward to restricted weapons and equipment, including advanced power armor, second-level evolution source material, and even heavy weapon shells.

What's more, a holy order will be issued to send a second-level team of the Knights Templar out to the wilderness to encircle and suppress the criminals involved in the operation.

Even if the Salvation Army managed to escape the territory ruled by the Holy Spring Cult by chance, after Bai Ye ascended to the third level king and established his own royal city...

Because of today's crime, he will also be listed as a key target by the Holy Spring Sect.

If we do not recognize the legitimacy of power, we will not be able to conduct normal trade and economic exchanges with the Holy Spring Sect and its subordinate forces.

The development of the royal city is restricted by the harsh environment, and its upper limit has been locked.

Then Bai Ye’s ultimate goal, to build a spaceship and escape from the wasteland apocalypse in the sky for three days, was naturally out of the question.

But at this moment, the perfect plan to plunder the farm village turned into a looting and killing of the entire Oasis Town due to the collective intervention of the Wasteland Wolf Pack...

Bai Ye just wanted to refuse this matter outright.

She didn't have the courage to destroy a medium-sized settlement under the Holy Spring Cult.

Although Oasis Town is located in the wasteland on the edge of the restricted area and has limited development potential, judging from the population, it is a solid foundation for a royal city.

Including the refugees from nearby areas, the population is close to 100,000, making it a top-tier medium-sized settlement.

From Bai Ye's current perspective, Oasis Town is fully qualified to become a small royal city and can be used as the foundation of an early third-level king without any problem.

Destroying the foundation of such a royal city would be a huge loss even for the wealthy Holy Spring Sect.

After all, the Oasis Church has spent seven or eight hundred years to build Oasis Town, which has grown to its current size.

Moreover, if one wants to take over Oasis Town, one must first ask the person in charge of the Oasis Church, the acting bishop.

Although the other party was only an acting bishop, his evolutionary level had not yet reached the third stage, only the level of a twenty-nine-level high priest, and he was already very old...

But he is a level 29 evolver after all.

When he was full of vigor and vitality, Bai Ye had not yet appeared in the wasteland.

According to the background information collected by Bai Ye, the acting bishop was forced to be exiled to the border and become the controller of the Oasis battleship because he failed in the election for the Holy City Bishopric.

This also means that he was at least able to advance to the third level based on his own talent.

However, due to the limited allocation of resources within the church, it is unable to support more third-level kings, so they came to the current Oasis Town and became self-reliant.

Therefore, this acting bishop's comprehension of the Holy Spring Road must have reached the next level, and he can exert some of the power of a third-level king.

As long as he still has the third-level Holy Spring in his hand, in order to defeat the opponent, he must at least be at the same level.

Bai Ye knew that he did not have such strength, and the other party could tolerate the Li family's rebellion and seizure because even if the Li family really came to power, they would not destroy the foundation of Oasis Town and destroy this fish pond.

So let them hijack Oasis Town, and as soon as the reinforcements from the Holy City arrive in the future, they can take it back.

But now Lang Ao intends to lead tens of thousands of evolved wild wolves to Oasis Town for a buffet.

Recreate the situation when Wolf King Ao was on the old earth and when the wasteland awakened, setting off a beast tide disaster that massacred villages and cities.

In this way, whether it is the high-level church forces or local forces such as the Li family in the oasis, they will fight to the death to resist the invasion of the wolf pack.

Even fully cooperating without regard for past grudges.

According to the intelligence collected by Bai Ye, there are no less than ten second-level evolvers among the advanced evolutionary forces in Oasis Town.

Among them is a level 29 warrior, three mid-level level 2 warriors, and six early-level level 2 warriors.

What Bai Ye feared even more was Lin Feng, who had just been promoted to the second level. As a firearms ability user, although the latter's strength was only at the early second level, in terms of firepower output and destructive power, he could even rival a late second level powerhouse!
The Wasteland Wolf Pack actually wanted to challenge the Oasis Town with such a lineup, which was simply an act of hurting the enemy by a thousand and hurting themselves by eight hundred.

Thinking of this, Bai Ye released the spatial energy in his body, creating layer after layer of isolation zones around him, and at the same time directly questioned: "Are you crazy?"

"Oasis Town is not an ordinary heavy settlement. The firepower of a single Oasis battleship is enough to suppress a cluster charge."

"It's simply unrealistic to rely on numbers to fight steel!"

"The village chiefs under the oasis also have fully armed heavy trucks, which are enough to deal with leader-level steppe wolves and packs of wolves."

"You only have four Chieftain-level giant wolves combined. How are you going to deal with the Oasis's firepower or the second-level warriors?"

"Once they're wearing their power armor, as long as we can contain you, we can rely on our firepower advantage to eliminate them one by one!"

Hearing this, Lang Ao did not refute, but grinned fiercely and said:
"Aren't you guys here too?"

"First, follow the plan and attack the farm village to draw most of their attention. Then, our wolf pack will help you raid other villages and block the Oasis warships."

"I know this town-class battleship better than you do. Back then, under the leadership of the Wolf King, our Wolf Clan once even breached a city-class battleship..."

"It's a small town-class battleship, and there's no human third-level king garrisoned there. It will only take a little effort to capture it."

"During the thousands of years I've guarded the Wolf King's Tomb, I've become very familiar with the travelers on the Migration Road, especially this Oasis warship."

"Li Hao was able to settle down successfully back then thanks to my great help. I was able to capture a group of wildebeest alive and establish a wildebeest breeding industry."

"We're heading to Oasis Town now, just to collect some interest from our previous investment!"

As he spoke, Lang Ao slowly lowered his head and stared at the woman in front of him. The other party's strength and momentum had increased a bit compared to when they first met, and it was obvious that she was not far from the third level.

At times like this, we must take advantage of it and threaten her to cover for the wolf clan while she has not yet fully grown up.

If you are lucky, the other party will be seriously injured.

Lang Ao didn't mind using the rich essence in her body to prolong his own life afterwards, and at the same time pave the way for his offspring to advance to the late second stage.

Prepare for the coming of the Dark Chaos in the next Wasteland Year and the path to inherit the third level of the Wolf King:

"There's actually no loss for you. Just proceed as planned."

"With the help of my wolf tribe, we will surely succeed in plundering the wildebeest breeding industry!"

Bai Ye frowned slightly. It seemed that the other party was taking advantage of the fact that he needed the Rock Wildebeest Industry to kill him and that he had to take action. He wanted to add fuel to the fire in the rear and expand the scope and intensity of the war.

However, if this were to happen, the Saviors would inevitably become part of the group that destroyed Oasis Town and would be on the church's must-kill list.

Thinking of this, Bai Ye couldn't help but ask:
"We can continue to cooperate, but I want to know one thing, why are you... No, it's you..."

"He suddenly changed his mind and personally led the entire wolf pack to attack Oasis Town!"

"Don't you know that Oasis Town is a town-level territory under the church? If you plunder and massacre the entire Oasis, it will inevitably break the agreement made back then."

"By then, not to mention the Knights Templar, even the Third-Rank Bishops will be able to attack the Wasteland Wolf Tribe, and even the forces of the Royal City. Those starving Third-Rank Kings will see your Wolf Tribe as a piece of fat meat..."

"Whoever encounters it will take a bite!"

After hearing the other party's question, Lang Ao was silent for a while, then replied in a low voice:
"Could it be that what happened in the Taishan ruins was not done by you?"

Bai Ye frowned. She had only moved out a few machines, not blown up the underground shelter. Why was she involved in this matter?

After thinking for a while, Bai Ye replied:

"We left on the fourth day after our meeting. The remaining humans were not members of the Salvation Army, but some wanderers and members of the Oasis Church."

After hearing this, Lang Ao became even more silent.

Those poor wanderers who had little flesh and blood could not have possessed the firepower to destroy the underground tunnels. It could only have been done by members of the church.

So why do they do this?
It was obvious that it was the gods who sealed the evil god, and the church was one of the supporters.

Could it be that the church is behind this?

But no matter who is plotting in secret, if the Wasteland Wolf Clan wants to preserve their bloodline and live to the next era in the upcoming dark turmoil, they must give birth to a young late-stage second-level giant wolf as soon as possible, enter the Wolf King's Tomb, and inherit the Wolf King's legacy and third-level body.

Then a powerful third-level wolf king was born, ensuring that the wolf clan could protect itself in troubled times.

Otherwise, just as Bai Ye said, he would become a stray dog ​​that everyone would shout and beat!

Thinking of this, Lang Ao just replied hoarsely:

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

"A time of chaos is coming..."

"A dark age comparable to the old calendar, a legacy war worthy of Ragnarok, has entered its final countdown!"

"We don't have much time left!"

Upon hearing that the seal of the restricted area of ​​the ruins had been broken, Bai Ye was stunned for two seconds, and then felt a strong sense of suffocation, as if a hand, across the isolation of space, tightly strangled her neck.

Only after he recovered from his shock did he nod seriously:
"You are right. I agree to cooperate."

"However, tens of thousands of evolved wild wolves are still too conspicuous. It's best for you to disperse on both sides of the fork in the road to avoid being discovered by the Oasis warships in advance."

"As long as we set up an ambush, we will definitely be able to capture Oasis Town on Holy Spring Day!"

Lang Ao didn't pay much attention to Bai Ye's suggestion. Seeing that the other party had agreed to cooperate, he continued:

"It's too late. We no longer have the opportunity to sit back and wait. We must take the initiative and launch an attack before Oasis Town arrives!"

Bai Ye's face changed again, becoming even paler.

The successive pieces of news had completely disrupted her originally perfect plan:
"What happened? Has something changed in the oasis?"

Lang Ao shook his head slightly, looking towards the northwest of the crowd. That was the ancient Zhengzhou City in the north, and also the main road heading north at the fork in the road.
"There's nothing serious happening in Oasis. They're currently fighting to determine who will own the warship."

"The real problem is that on the main migration route in the north, the support forces from the Holy City of Humanity are fighting a group of people, and the latter are gradually losing..."

"I'm afraid we won't be able to wait until the oasis reaches the fork in the road. The knights of the Holy City will arrive here first!"

The reason why wolves have such a high hunting success rate is that they have a wide distribution range and can collect a lot of intelligence nearby.

Tens of thousands of evolved wolves are enough for Lang Ao to be aware of any movement within a radius of hundreds of kilometers.
