Chapter 1590: Chapter 514: Immunity to Control, But Not Complete Immunity
With a sense of relief emerging in his heart, Bai Yi reorganized his emotions and began to assess the current situation, turning back to look at the fleet behind.
"It’s going to end here as well..."
With the time they bought here, the church fleet projected from the rear was also nearing its end.
Without the interference of this battlefield, Jue Nalu could focus all his attention on the fleet that had been teleported over, concentrating all firepower on it.
With nearly four times the firepower differential, the church fleet’s joint shield lasted only two minutes before shattering, and the remaining warships became mere targets under such heavy artillery fire.
When Bai Yi turned to look, this fleet was already reduced to a handful of warships, still struggling in the pursuit blockades by several small warship formations split from the fleet.
Evidently, items teleported from such long distances were not ordinary goods.
Apart from those high-level believers, the ordinary believers did not receive similar trump cards.
Temporarily detaching from the Tree-man’s body, Bai Yi pressed his hand to his ear to reactivate the tiny communicator, where others were already interacting on the internal channel.
"Admiral, what’s the situation now?"
Skipping over the other exchanges, Bai Yi’s voice immediately brought brief silence to the channel before erupting again with great enthusiasm.
"Lord Fanmao! We really have you to thank this time!"
"If it weren’t for you breaking that all-freezing Divine Arts in time, we might not have made it back."
"It had to be your powerful skills, breaking through the church’s Longevity Favored in a frontal attack to gain a combat power advantage..."
"..."
The 8th Rank powerhouses on the channel tacitly didn’t delve into how exactly Bai Yi achieved this, understanding as 8th Rank powerhouses how much secrecy their own abilities required.
Especially since Bai Yi saved them, no one would intentionally bring up this topic to offend.
As long as Fanmao’s ability was beneficial to them, they just quietly noted this information.
Several seconds later, Jue Nalu’s voice appeared on the channel, interrupting the others.
"Lord Fanmao, currently the fleet teleported here using unknown technology has been dealt with. The fleet’s firepower now has a surplus, and it can retake control of the teleportation gate.
Moreover, according to the fleet radar’s reconnaissance, no new enemies have appeared around.
Although the battle ahead remains arduous, for now, everyone can come back and rest a while."
"Alright, I’ll bring them back first, and the fleet will take over the teleportation gate... huh?"
Bai Yi raised an eyebrow abruptly, turning his head in the opposite direction to look at the teleportation gate.
"Ha, looks like it won’t be necessary."
Within the perception of the Soul Armor, the teleportation gate was rapidly collapsing and shrinking.
Even the warships attempting to pass through the gate were withdrawing, refusing to move forward.
"The believers have retreated, it seems they’ve realized this battle is lost for them."
With all the high-level believers repelled by her, the teleported fleet was also defeated.
Without cover, leaving the teleportation gate would unnecessarily consume warships, preventing the fleet from being truly sent over.
Rather than waste warships, it’s better to retreat decisively and seek another plan.
"Let’s go, after this defeat, they likely won’t launch another large-scale assault in the short term.
Use this time to go back and rest."
Bai Yi called out, touching the Tree-man beside him and using superpower to restore it to a staff form.
The other high-tier strong persons quickly tidied up the battlefield and gathered around Bai Yi.
The surrounding light distorted for a moment, and as their vision cleared again, they found themselves back inside a bright warship, standing on the suspended platform of the main control chamber.
"Alright, go and adjust your states. Although I provided treatment earlier, you know it wasn’t enough.
The next war could come at any moment, make use of the time."
Bai Yi casually tossed the staff, raising his sight towards the high-tier Extraordinary behind him, instructing them.
Though his tone seemed as if addressing children, given their earlier performance, everyone respected it without sensing anything inappropriate.
Besides, Fanmao wasn’t wrong; the next war could come at any moment, and they must adjust themselves quickly.
With slight nods, they silently turned away, each finding a room to rest.
Watching them leave, Bai Yi controlled the Tree-man to approach Jue Nalu at the controls area.
"Admiral, what do you think they’ll do next?"
"This time, their believers chose to use special hidden means to catch us off guard, only to not just fail but also incur heavy losses.
Yet, they won’t give up.
They will only become more cautious, adopting even more secure strategies, possibly opening the gate from further locations, beyond our reach.
By allowing us to be unable to prevent their fleet assembly, and once ready, launch attacks against us.
That might lead to a true prolonged war."
Jue Nalu shared a pre-existing conjecture, with a notably heavier tone.
