Chapter 853 Repor
This chapter is updated by Wuxia.BlogA few minutes earlier, on Silver Arm, the Arcane Church's mother planet...
The Bishops once again gathered in the hall, sitting in their respective seats and resting with their eyes closed.
The Arcane Church's religion and authority were united; their faith and politics were inseparable. The Bishops controlled enormous power. The robe of every Bishop was luxurious, and their styles differed drastically in color and pattern, which represented the faction each of these Bishops oversaw.
The influence of this operation was enormous, so the Bishops were directly in charge.
Quite some time had passed since they sent the fleet over with the Multi-Dimensional Sky Opening Transportation Device. The Arcane Church did not have a quantum communication network in the Flickering World, so messages could only be sent back through special methods. Therefore, the Bishops were still waiting for the good news from Sagman and the others.
One Bishop looked at the time and nodded. "They should have already succeeded."
"The time fits, but why haven't we received any messages?" another Bishop wondered.
"Maybe they're counting the gains."
With someone starting the topic, they discussed softly. They were patient and did not think any accident would happen to this operation.
In their perspective, the forces on their side had an overwhelming upper hand. There was really no reason to fail.
The door of the room suddenly opened.
The ceiling of the round table conference hall was very high, and the door was also ten meters tall. It was pure white and did not look like it was made of metal but of white jade. There was no groove marking the door; it was perfectly smooth like a wall when closed. At this time, this white gate started to turn into a bubble from the middle and shrunk to the sides, like boiling liquid, but did not open completely and only showed a two-meter-wide gap. A person walked into the room, and the gap closed behind him.
The Bishops stopped talking and all stood up and greeted with their heads lowered with respect.
"Your Excellency, Pope."
This was the highest leader of the Arcane Church, the Pope.
The Pope grunted a greeting and walked up to the main seat. The seat was a hovering white sphere. As he sat down, part of this sphere was pushed down like it was soft and adjusted to his body shape, forming the most suitable seat according to his body structure.
Only then did the Bishops sit down. Seeing that the Pope had only come to wait for the news and did not plan on speaking, they did not continue discussing.
After waiting for a while, the remote projection of the fleet's commander suddenly appeared in the middle of the round table-he had finally come to report.
The fleet commander did a military greeting and said with a stiff face, "Your Excellency, respected Bishops... the battle has ended. We're now retreating."
"Hmm, bring the Evolution Cube back quickly. We will send out troops to assist you," a rather impatient Bishop said directly.
The fleet commander opened his mouth and had an awkward expression like he did not know what to say.
Seeing this, everyone was puzzled. The commander whom they had sent this time was an elite. Why was he acting this way?
"Is there an issue?" someone asked.
