When they saw more than ten combat airships flying over, the people from the West Continent were all stunned. For some reason, seeing their expressions always gave me the feeling of ancient people encountering invaders from the future.

Well, it's pretty much the same thing after all.

If Snake Eye intends to improve the combat capabilities of the Lost Continent by raising the average level of its residents, then we are basically using technology to change lives.

Although it feels off somewhere, but it's pretty much how it is.

"What in the world is this..."

Not only the military officers, even Uncle Mont was very curious as he asked me,

"What in the world is this? How can it fly so quickly in the sky like this? Even magic airships can't fly this fast, right?"

"Do you need a ship with that?"

"Of course, do you think this thing comes cheap?"

I smiled wryly.

"If we hadn't industrialized the production of magic stones, this thing would have been practically unusable. Well, let's not dwell on this. Cavido, you divide them up, each aircraft can accommodate up to 10 people, there are over forty of you here, so five of you can just board directly. Also, if you don't want to be zapped by Dale, it's best not to touch the control device."

I pointed to Dale, who was standing next to me with a smile.

"Alright alright, you can rest assured, sir."

The officer named Cavido nodded.

"Then..."

I glanced at Mary, Dale, and then pointed to the airship behind me.

"Let's get going, or we might miss out on something good."

"Tsk tsk tsk, always thinking about fighting."

Mary chuckled and walked towards the airship.

"I've already contacted Bai Yueguang and his group, and Dale has also reached out to some neighboring countries still struggling... Well, I can't exactly say struggling, because the arms sold by Lan Yue during this time have armed most of the continent. Basically, as long as they are willing to spend money, they won't suffer too much."

Tsk tsk tsk, I'll have to ask Lanya for some dividends now, making money like this is beyond belief. The maintenance costs after this battle, tsk tsk tsk... I dare not even think about it.

"Then let's hurry up."

I chuckled.

"Otherwise, dying to some unknown AOE would be a waste."

- The card game life of an African Element youth -

Flying over the plains of the Lost continent, you could occasionally see a large group of shadow monsters moving collectively on the ground, most likely providing support elsewhere.

However, occasionally you could also spot airships flying in the sky, probably for similar reasons.

"The situation is better than we expected."

Dale said as he tapped on the terminal.

"Only one country was eliminated due to lack of defense, it's a coastal country in the west. Although the initial attacks were on the countries on the Eastern Road, most of them, like Bai Yueguang's country, managed to hold on by relying on some pretty powerful people until support arrived. But even so, a total of 14 cities have become dead cities."

"Fourteen cities..."

I frowned.

"Bai Yueguang's recent information indicates that those struck by the Black Shadow will turn into shadows, so the shadows we just saw..."

"Are probably the people from the cities that were struck..."

I sighed.

"It seems we need to eliminate them quickly, or the people of the Lost Continent will be in serious trouble."

"But with this quantity of shadows... it's like a horde of zombies, what should we do?"

"We need to eliminate the large waves of enemies first, but..."

I pondered for a moment, then looked at Dale.

"Or we need to eliminate their controllers, but we currently don't know their whereabouts. However, someone must have seen them. Dale, investigate and see where the largest group of shadows they've seen so far is located."

"The largest group? That hasn't really been mentioned. The reports so far have described the shadows as 'a large swath'... but based on the reports and map data, one area seems to have been completely unreported."

"No report?"

"Yeah, take a look."

Dale opened the large screen on the airship, and the map of the entire continent appeared on it.

Surrounding each city was a red circle, except for a region with seven cities, these seven cities were distributed like corners of a heptagon, as if they were planned that way.

These seven cities had no reports, but there were reports from airships of other countries passing by.

"These seven cities seem to be surrounded by holy light, the shadows can't approach..."

Dale looked at the report and said.

"Most likely, these cities belong to the church. Well, it seems they are quite confident in their abilities and are not planning to share information with others."

"But this will also make them the biggest target."

I smiled.

"Perhaps the boss of the shadows will aim to start with them as well."

"We'll find out soon enough."

Dale said as he rapidly typed on the keyboard.

"I've sent out all the idle airships from Lan Yue's hangar and arranged them with the longest scanning range, all lined up from north to south for a full scan."

"It's a good method... but the speed involved..."

"We are flying slowly because we have people on board, if we fly at full speed..."

Dale paused for a moment, then chuckled.

"...it's about right now... there we go."

Then he pressed Enter.

The screen flashed, and the map changed once again, showing several new red areas. However, unlike before, these areas were irregularly distributed.

"This is..."

"Those shadows."

Dale pointed to the screen.

"But..."

"But what?"

"You were right about one thing, the boss indeed headed towards the church."

"And what's the other thing?"

"One of the church's cities has been breached."
