Southeastern Empire, Black Rock Territory of Glieshire. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

On the grand map of the Glow Empire, Gleshire, located on the border with the Gale Empire to the south, is inconspicuous, densely covered with mountains, forests, swamps, lakes and rivers, and a vast and sparsely populated land with no land to please.

The Black Rock Territory is an unknown territory under the Gregory County, it belongs to the Merke family, and has been inherited for hundreds of years, although the area of the territory is not small, but the population is only one or two thousand, and most of them are concentrated in Black Rock Town.

The inhabitants of the town lived by farming and hunting, and because the roads to the outside world were difficult to navigate, there were very few outsiders passing through, and the inhabitants of the territory lived a life of no quarrel with the world.

There are countless small local families like the Merk family in the empire, and if there is no genius in the family, their influence will always be in their own territory or a little farther away, and will never appear in the empire's field of vision.

However, the truth of some things is often unexpected!

In the eastern sky, the rising sun leaps above the sea of clouds, shining a thousand rays of light on the earth, and a new day has just begun.

Lafeng spread his huge wings and flew towards the place where the sun rose, and the golden light of the rising light covered it with a glittering coat, which also illuminated Han Fei's resolute face.

Han Fei didn't go alone, behind him, on his left and right, hundreds of empty horsemen obscured the sky, they formed a neat air queue, carrying heavily armed knights to their destination.

The composition of this extremely powerful air cavalry legion is quite complex, it includes three hundred Fire Phoenix Sky Knights, two hundred Royal Guard Sky Knights, two hundred and thirty Imperial Internal Guard Warriors, and one hundred and seventy elite warriors and mages of the Imperial Family and the Feng Family.

This special legion is named Thunderfire, and it is about to carry out the Punishment of Light mission to destroy the headquarters of the Church of Shadows!

Looking at these powerful and elite Sky Knights beside him, Han Fei couldn't help but feel a little more excited in his heart, if this time he couldn't beat the Shadow Church to the point that he couldn't take care of himself, it was definitely because they had been favored by the goddess of luck, but how could the goddess of luck of the light department cast a favored eye on the apostles who believed in the dark god system?

If it weren't for the accurate information obtained in advance, Han Fei really couldn't imagine that the headquarters of the Shadow Church would be located in a small and remote territory, according to the information obtained by the Empire, the Merke family has always been a front for the Shadow Church to put outside, so as to run the Black Rock Territory in an extremely low-key manner, secretly cultivating a large number of church elites and assassins, remotely controlling the actions scattered in various strongholds of the empire, and hiding the wealth accumulated over thousands of years in this territory.

The Shadow Church chose to build its lair in such a remote place, coupled with their strict secrecy measures, which is the most important reason why they have not been discovered for hundreds of years, but now that it is completely exposed, there is no doubt that it has brought great convenience to the Empire's attack operations, and once the battle breaks out, the Thunderfire Legion does not need to worry about possible accidental injuries.

In order to ensure that the operation does not leak news, the Imperial side first set up an outpost in the no-man's land of Saon County near Gleshire, and the knights of the Thunderfire Legion arrived in batches without alarming others, and immediately after completing the assembly, they went out to attack the lair of the Shadow Church in the early morning of the next day.

It was just dawn, and the Thunder Fire Legion flying at full speed was already no more than a few dozen miles away from the Black Rock Territory.

Phew!~ A Thunderhawk airrider circled back and forth twice in the distance ahead, sending out a signal, and the airriders of the brigade immediately slowed down.

Dozens of griffons broke away from the group, each carrying a knight and a mage on their backs, and the griffons flew swiftly towards their wings, like a pair of giant arms slowly spreading in the air.

These griffons are space-locked figures, and the mages on their backs will place a large spell formation around Black Rock to prevent enemies from escaping through teleportation arrays.

"Attack with all your strength according to the plan, and kill anyone who resists!" Feng Qingyin's voice sounded in everyone's ears, she was one of the commanders of this operation.

"Kill!" hundreds of knights and warriors echoed in unison, and their condensed murderous aura instantly filled the heavens and the earth, and the main force of the Thunder Fire Legion suddenly sped up and rushed towards Black Rock Town.

The actions of nearly a thousand air cavalry are absolutely impossible to hide, and as the location of the headquarters, it is impossible for the Shadow Church to set up guard posts around the territory, so some conventional combat skills are not useful at all in such an operation, or it is this kind of thunderous momentum to destroy the enemy's defense line before they have time to prepare.

The distance of dozens of miles was just a very short time for the empty rider who was sprinting at full speed, and it didn't take long for Han Fei, who had been flying at the front, to see Black Rock Town, which was located at the foot of the mountain not far away.

Black Rock Town is not a large area, it is backed by a rolling mountain range, most of the houses in the town are two or three storey low-rise buildings, surrounded by smoke and green trees, and a small river meanders by the town, it looks like a quiet and beautiful country town.

If it weren't for the fact that the information was true and correct, it would be hard to believe that such a small town was actually the headquarters of a powerful evil sect, but Han Fei knew that the real lair of the Shadow Church was hidden in a mountain peak not far from the town!

The peak at the northern end of the town is about 100 meters high, some of which stand abruptly between the mountains and forests, and part of its surface is covered with blue-black rocks, which are said to have given the Black Rock Collar its name.

As soon as the mist that filled the town in the early morning had lifted, the undisguised appearance of the Thunderfire Air Legion immediately caused chaos in the town, and many townspeople who had just left their homes and were about to work in the fields outside the town looked at the sky stupidly, and the tools in their hands fell to the ground without realizing it.

Bell!

The brass bells of warning rang violently in the town, and the townspeople woke up from a dream and fled in all directions like ants that had blown up their nests.

It's just that this warning came too late and too late!

"Spell Free Attack!" Feng Qingyin's slightly cold voice sounded again.

More than a dozen mages immediately spread their magic wings and flew into the air, they waved the magic staff in their hands, and quickly chanted obscure spells, and the originally clear sky suddenly surged!

The wind was howling, purple electric snakes swam in the sky, dark clouds rolled and gathered rapidly, and the rumbling thunder shook everyone's eardrums, and in an instant, it seemed that the end of the world was shattering!

But this terrifying vision was only concentrated in the sky above Black Rock Town, and the mages of the Thunderfire Legion took the lead, and as soon as they came up, they attacked with all their might.

Boom! Boom!

A moment later, a pillar of thunder the size of a bucket fell from the sky, carrying the power of the Destruction Surname to bombard Black Rock Town, and this centuries-old town ushered in the moment of destruction!

A three-storey building was directly hit by a thunder pillar, and the dark red Senkaku roof instantly turned into powder, and the entire house immediately split apart and exploded, countless debris and mud debris flew all over the sky, and none of the people hiding in the house escaped, all turned into flesh and blood!

The house, along with the fate of its occupants, was just a small microcosm of Black Rock, which was razed to the ground in the blink of an eye under the bombardment of thunderbolts, and hundreds of townspeople were mercilessly slaughtered, many of whom lost their lives in their sleep.

This is the power of spells, this is the power of more than a dozen high-level mages gathered together!

Some of the townsfolk were lucky enough to escape the first wave of bombardment, running around like headless flies, shouting terrified cries that mingled with the wails of the mortally wounded and dying.

The knights and warriors of the Thunderfire Legion stared coldly at the destruction of Black Rock Town, and none of them showed the slightest expression of sympathy, they were the most elite force in the Empire, everyone had experienced the test of blood and fire, and they had killed hundreds of people without changing their faces.

Han Fei was also indifferent, it wasn't that his heart was as hard as a stone and he had no compassion, but these townspeople were definitely not innocent, they were all members of the Shadow Church or the family members of the members, without their cover-up, how could the lair of the Shadow Church have been operating here for hundreds of years?

In less than half a minute, there was not a single intact house in Black Rock Town, and there was no sign of life in sight.

The thunderclouds in the sky did not dissipate, but became more and more raging, and gradually drifted towards the peak not far away.

At the same moment, more than twenty more mages broke away from the array in the air, but they quickly landed on the ground under the protection of the knights.

For the Thunderfire Legion, sweeping the Black Rock Town was just a warm-up, everyone knew that the real battle was still to come, the Shadow Church was just taken by surprise, far from hurting the bones, this black mountain peak is the point.

Although the Black Fire Legion was formed by the combination of different force members such as the Fire Phoenix Sky Cavalry, the Guards, and the Imperial Mage, and it did not take much time to run in and cooperate, but under the joint command of Feng Qingyin and another commander, the court ** master Luo Dak, this powerful force was like a sophisticated war puppet, and it took steps in an orderly manner to show its hideous fangs!

More than twenty mages landed in different positions, forming a huge fan-shaped encirclement right on the mountain peak, and quickly began their amazing performance.

These twenty-seven mages practiced all earth-based spells, and the spells they released were called Earth-Splitting Spells, which were usually high-level spells used in the army to attack and destroy walled castles.
