High Luminary Eldrin Lightwarden, the Supreme Commander of the Order of Paladins of Light, had handpicked the team for the Great Purge.
It was the first Purge in a decade.
A frontier town like Siterion might not require an army of more than 1500 soldiers for complete annihilation.
The 3500-strong army was just an overkill.
However, the High Luminary wanted to make a statement.
He felt people had started losing fear of God of Light.
His blessed self had made people think he was soft, forgetting light could be bright enough to scorch everything to smithereens.
And that was why such a massive team was selected for the Grand Purge, to the surprise of many in the capital.
But it was a clear message—not only to those cultists or heathens, but also to the other two factions—the Military Faction of the War Council and the Merchant Guild Faction of the Golden Accord.
The whole continent had paid close attention to this 'Great Purge.'
