Qingyan Continent.

On the west coast, the port of Ao Fen is one of the top 10 natural deep-water ports in the empire, with a large fleet of ocean-going ships coming in and out every day, and the developed maritime trade makes this coastal city very rich.

Since last month, it has become extremely busy, with a large number of clergy and armed forces of the immediate church stationed in the city, taking over the defense of the port, and then began a large-scale requisition of seagoing ships, including the sailors on board, as well as the storehouse area of the port, and so on.

Then, a large number of material resources were continuously transported from all over the country, such as food, armor, clothing, tents...... In order to temporarily resettle these troops and supplies, the local government requisitioned a large number of civilians and built a large number of new military camps and warehouses to settle them properly.

In addition to this, hundreds of other port cities in the coastal region are making similar preparations.

As for the reason for this, it is no secret among the people of the empire now, it is said that the great god of war personally sent an oracle to launch a full-scale holy war against the Xingshan Empire on the other side of the sea, so there is a grand occasion of war mobilization throughout the country.

As night fell, the docks were still busy with supplies, and a large group of slaves were loading them onto ocean-going ships.

The guard is usually the local government garrison, but now the Church's Guardian Corps. Soldiers dressed in dark blue armor with cloaks and church insignia engraved on their chests can be seen everywhere.

In a tavern not far from the docks, it was still brightly lit and bustling, with hordes of sailors, lifus, and night watchmen filling the not-so-spacious hall, and behind a row of heavy wooden wine cabinets, lazily leaned against a half-drunk, scarred man.

On the platform in the middle of the hall, several girls with heavy makeup and scantily clad were writhing vigorously, causing the onlookers to cheer excitedly and laugh unscrupulously.

The Church of the God of War is highly secularized, and there are not too many rules and precepts for the common people, even if the port is now under martial law and the atmosphere is obviously different from the past, these low-level people can still have fun in this kind of place, and those noble church clergy rarely come to this kind of place to visit.

At a table in the corner, several men dressed in ordinary clothes with gloomy eyes were sipping ale, silently communicating with their mental fluctuations. Occasionally, some thieves and rat-eyed guys wanted to come over and get close, and felt the murderous aura on their bodies, and they all hid away as if they had seen a small animal of a natural enemy.

“…… I have already seen it, this group of divine sticks is very tightly guarded, especially in those more important places, there is more than one Sacred Domain powerhouse staring. ”

“…… It's not surprising that these things in the port area are worth a lot of money now, and if something goes wrong, those old men can't afford it. ”

"Actually, it's also because of what happened in Yas Harbor two days ago, the people of 'Hell's Punishment did a good job, a few high-level legendary magic scrolls were thrown down, most of the entire port area was destroyed, hundreds of their ships were burned, and the local bishop and the captain of the garrison were all sent to the gallows afterwards! Hey hey ......"

"Now that the people in the church are starting to become cautious, the number of strong people stationed in the church has increased significantly, and it is not easy to do anything again."

"That's the case, but we have to find a way to complete the work beautifully, even if we take some risks, don't everyone eat this bowl of rice?"

"Makes sense......"

The men deliberated for a moment, then got up and went their separate ways, disappearing into the night outside the tavern.

It didn't take long for a patrol squad leader in the dock area to inadvertently look up and see that the night sky above his head had been visibly distorted, and a huge ring of fire with a diameter of 100 meters had already taken shape, and there were faintly countless large fireball phantoms in it that were tumbling and boiling.

Lava fire rain?!

The Patrol Leader had the terrifying name of this terrifying magic in his mind, this high-level legendary magic was known for its long duration and great lethality, and once it was officially completed, half of the dock area would have to be reduced to ruins, and no one within this range would survive!

"There's an enemy attack!"

He roared as hard as he could, and then felt the whistle of the police to blow rapidly, and the sharp and piercing whistle echoed in the night sky, instantly alarming a lot of powerful aura.

A dazzling white light shot out from a certain barracks and hit the ring of fire in the sky, making it dim a lot in an instant, and faintly dissipated.

Then the second and third rays of ablative light flew out, continuing to neutralize the terrifying magical energy in the ring of fire, dispelling it alive.

Two figures exuding a powerful aura rose into the air, and with a slight sense in the air, they flew quickly in one direction, apparently discovering the location of the attacker.

"The response is not bad, but I'm ruining this place today!"

In mid-air, a faint voice sounded.

The sky suddenly lit up, and three consecutive rounds of blazing fire rings appeared, and they were much larger than just now, hundreds of huge fireball phantoms quickly condensed, and the temperature in the air rose sharply.

"Bold!"

A roar rang from below, and a figure dressed in a high-ranking priest's robe rushed forward, trying to stop the attacker's movements.

"Guys who aren't even super strong, so don't come out and be embarrassed."

The blood-colored sword slashed through the sky, striking the great priest to the head, and in the next second, the three high-level legendary magic spells were finally completed, and countless huge fireballs rained down, and with the sound of explosions one after another, the rolling flames flooded the entire dock area.

Not only did the fire ignite the supplies, engulfing the warriors and slave porters, but even the ships were set on fire one after another, but the flames caused by this divine power were extremely difficult to extinguish by ordinary means.

Several more legendary powerhouses of the church rushed over to intercept them, but they were all easily killed by the mysterious attackers.

Above the clouds, two figures wrapped in dark cloaks floated silently.

"Dad, these people don't seem to be very strong."

The girl's sweet and magnetic voice sounded.

Qin Feng said with a smile: "You are a goddess, it is really a bit of a bully to deal with these ordinary people." ”

Qin Luxue snorted dissatisfiedly: "With such a skill, you still want to attack our Star Shanshan Empire? These guys don't even know what they're dreaming about, so I'm going to see how long they can spend with us!" ”

As she spoke, she casually smashed down a dozen more high-level fire magics, igniting all the ships that were far away, and then the barracks, the treasury area, the temple and other targets. As for those Sacred Domains and legendary powerhouses who dare to rise into the sky, they naturally come and die one by one.

Half an hour later, the entire dock area was in ruins, and all the ships and supplies were burned.

"Even if we do all the hard work, we don't have twenty days to restore this port, and it will take even longer to requisition a sufficient number of ships." Qin Feng was satisfied.

Qin Luxue echoed: "If all the hundreds of port cities in this coastal area are destroyed, along with those supplies and sea ships, the cross-sea expedition plan of the God of War Church will go bankrupt, right?" ”

Qin Feng said: "Theoretically, but in order to further attack and weaken the war potential of this enemy, we need to destroy those temples, dams, important bridges and other targets as much as possible." ”

The God of War Church is sharpening its knives on the other side of the ocean, Qin Feng will certainly not sit still, after meeting with a number of huge organizations in the dark world, one after another employment contracts of astonishing value have been released.

During this period of time, an astonishing number of killer spies, thieves, assassins, and bounty hunters entered the Qingyan Continent through various channels, and then began to launch round after round of sneak attacks on this behemoth.

Raiding ports, burning supplies and ships at sea is just one of many tasks, there are other fixed targets worth targeting, and numerous local officials, middle and lower clergy are within the scope of the assassination mission.

Because Qin Feng was willing to spend the magic crystal, so under the stimulation of the huge reward, those dark organizations have invested a lot of money, and sent a large number of backbone members of the Holy Domain and even the legendary-level elite, just to complete the task entrusted by Qin Feng faster and better.

Moreover, after Qin Feng consulted with the leaders of these dark organizations, he adopted the method of dividing the whole organization, each large organization is responsible for a province, and there are hundreds of assassination targets in each province, as well as important targets that must be destroyed, and the remuneration is settled every ten days, and it is approved according to the number of tasks completed.

In Overworld parlance, this practice is known as "unrestricted warfare." By striking at many targets among the enemy's people, it is a tactic to destroy the opponent's war potential, create panic, and disintegrate public confidence.

This has proven to be very effective. For more than a month, many ports on the west coast of the Qingyan Continent have been devastated, with thousands of seagoing ships burned, hundreds of thousands of troops killed or wounded, and the losses in logistics and materials are almost impossible to count. More than 3,000 magistrates and clergy were assassinated, and even several cardinals were killed.

The high-level leaders of the God of War Church were naturally furious, and immediately took measures and sent many strong people to counter, so those dark organizations and the church have recently broken out into many rounds of bloody and cruel encounters, and both sides have suffered heavy losses.

Later, Qin Feng even personally brought his daughter Qin Luxue and multiple avatars to participate in the battle, which seriously delayed the church's preparation process while achieving more results.

Of course, while sending people to sabotage the Qingyan Continent at any cost, Qin Feng's protection measures for his own territory were also upgraded at the same time, so as not to let those group of gods follow the example and go to the Xingmeng Continent to make trouble.

"Let's go, let's go pick a more valuable target this time."

Qin Feng said, casually opened a spatial portal, grabbed his daughter and walked in and disappeared.
