The ancient and majestic council hall, the slightly dimly lit atmosphere, and the crowded elite of all races gathered in this huge hall to discuss some important matters. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The last time the action of the church and the dragon clan had to be said to have given a very shocking impression to the many races present, and at the same time, they did not let go of this golden opportunity for the weakening of the church, and then the major races in the Light and Shadow Council took advantage of this opportunity to threaten the church with all kinds of rights.

In order to maintain the stability of the entire meeting, Archbishop Roland agreed to all the requests that did not touch the core interests of the church, because he knew very well what the current situation of the church was, and the successive actions during this period of time not only cost the church a lot of combat power, but more importantly, it cost the church a huge amount of money stored for hundreds of years.

Church consortia and foundations sold off a dozen centuries-old fixed assets to barely make up for the huge financial drain of these operations.

The cost of ammunition consumption in Jiang Sato's second operation and the cost of calling in the aircraft carrier battle group are even more astronomical.

The enormous amount of money spent on these actions is equivalent to the GDP of a medium-sized country in a year, and this does not include the cost of the political capital and networks mobilized to support these actions, and the cost of these interpersonal relationships cannot be described in monetary terms, but these resources are the priceless wealth painstakingly managed by generations of families and plutocracy.

In order to cope with the families, the church had to use the savings in advance, but although the church had suffered heavy losses in the last operation, its foundation had become somewhat shaky, so that many of the large clans in the council who had already been dissatisfied with the church had plundered many benefits.

In order to maintain overall stability, the Church had to cede many interests, including control of several important areas, and the Church was forced to withdraw its power from those areas.

It can be said that the current church has changed from the original expansion to the contraction of stability after the blow of the last action.

Watching the councillors sit down to their seats one by one, Archbishop Roland and his entourage also walked up to the seats in the center of the hall and took their seats.

"Everyone, are you all here?" Roland said slowly, looking at the seats around him, since what happened last time, more and more races have chosen to be absent from this meeting.

The rest are either representatives of the church who are fighting for the rights of the church, or spies of various races who stay in the Council of Light and Shadow to watch the next move of the church.

Of course, there is still a race that is deeply involved in the interests of the Church, and is still firmly on the side of the Church, and participates in every meeting of the Council of Light and Shadow on time. Of course, this includes the dragons who occupy a large number of seats in the council, but because of the last action, the seats occupied by the dragon councillors are quite empty.

As a result of the last operation, the relationship between the church and the dragons has become a strong alliance, which is undoubtedly good news for the church that is now in a precarious position.

The last time Parliament started with most of the seats filled, now half of the seats are empty.

"The vampires are still absent, aren't they?" When the Council of Light and Shadow resumed, the representatives of the vampire clan never attended a meeting.

However, they still participated in the Dragon Palace's treasure hunting, but they sent the True Ancestor to explore the treasure at great risk, but they were killed for unknown reasons, and at the same time lost nearly one-third of the True Ancestor's family members.

What happened to their clan has long been a laughing stock for all races.

You must know that although the vast majority of races have lost a lot of combat power in the Dragon Palace, those combat power losses are harmless to them, and the various materials brought by their survivors have also made them gain a lot.

It can be said that whether it is the church or other races in this operation, they have gained more or less, at least they do not lose, but the vampire clan is different, in this operation, they not only lost the extremely important True Ancestor, and almost did not gain anything, and at the same time, together with the True Ancestor, they also lost a lot of materials. It can be said that he lost his wife and his soldiers.

Of course, all this credit can be attributed to Sato and Joanna.

For the good of the church, even the church that knows all these reasons cannot of course admit that their people did it.

However, it is also an indisputable fact that the vampire clan and the church have formed a grudge through this incident.

There has been gossip that the death of the true ancestor of the vampire clan this time is inextricably linked to the church, and it is reasonable that they will not attend this council.

But Archbishop Roland noticed again that a large other area was empty.

"Is the representative of the Demon Fox Clan still absent this time?" Roland said with a sigh.

The power of the Demon Fox Clan and the Dragon Clan is comparable in the Light and Shadow Council, so their clan has always occupied a very important part of the church.

And the relationship between the demon fox clan and the church has always been good, and this time their collective absence from the meeting of the Light and Shadow Council looks a little strange to these people in the church.

And just a while ago, even everyone in the demon fox clan who served in the church and performed tasks was called back by the demon fox because of the clan ** department.

The specific reason is unknown, but according to the reports of some agents of the Demon Fox Clan of the Church, it seems that the Demon Fox Clan is in dispute because of the election of a new patriarch.

Basically, all the people of the demon fox clan outside were called back to the clan, and almost all the news about the demon fox clan outside was cut off, which made the news about the demon fox clan even more confusing.

Looking at the Council of Light and Shadow, which was already half empty, Archbishop Roland sighed, but with so many people and the absence of a large family, there was basically no need for this meeting to continue.

In fact, the purpose of the archbishop's meeting was to announce a notice.

"Actually, I have come here for the purpose of convening this meeting, which is absent from ordinary councillors, and that is to announce an important notice. After Roland, the archbishop and part-time speaker of the council, announced the notice, basically everyone present pricked up their ears and focused all their attention on where Roland was.

For them, the news announced by Roland this time must be very important, because in this church meeting, the eight cardinal seats above the central church seat are all filled, and basically all the top leaders of the church have arrived.

Suffice it to say that the news of this meeting of the church is very important.

The last time all eight cardinals were there was when the Council of Light and Shadow was announced.

"Thanks to the joint efforts of all races, the entire Council of Light and Shadow has experienced ups and downs for hundreds of years. When the Light and Shadow Council was back in operation some time ago, we dealt with several major incidents and crises together. It's just that due to various unforeseen reasons, the meaning of the existence of the Light and Shadow Council has become dispensable. In light of this, I declare an indefinite adjournment of the Council of Light and Shadow. ”

The archbishop's voice echoed through the calm chamber.

The Council of Light and Shadow inevitably ceased to function after the Archbishop and the Church had paid a lot of money and ceased many benefits.

Almost instantaneously, news of the adjournment spread across all races.
