Back in the control room at his post, after handing over duties with another Transcendent, Xi Bai seemingly casually asked the person in charge of control about the situation.
"What's the situation now?"
"Oh, Xi Bai, you're back.
Same old, the communication with the Mother Star has been cut off by the Insect Swarm, and ever since the State Preceptor returned, there hasn't been much intelligence feedback from the Mother Star's direction."
The person in charge he asked shook his head, spreading his hands.
"On the contrary, those Insect Swarms are really resilient. Despite several fortresses firing simultaneously, they keep coming endlessly."
"A real bunch of monsters..."
Xi Bai glanced at the virtual screen, silently taking notes, and remarked.
"Exactly, a bunch of monsters!" The person in charge echoed, then turned to smile.
"But since the State Preceptor returned just now, it should be over soon.
That's a high-tier State Preceptor!"
