Even though countless massacre has been set for the Duke’s alliance army, the numbers are still great, and still showing an impending power of forces that keep attacking the small numbers of Lightenguard army consist of five hundred footmen, as for Yinhua, she still exhaust a bit for casting the “Petal Fall” Sacred technique, it was one of her most powerful trump card, as she manage to culminate this technique on her own during her past times, but the execution technique she cast was only a five percent of the whole capabilities of the said technique, her cultivation level was still low, she still hanging up on bronze rank five star level, she need to break through to reach the one star Iron rank martial fighter, it still a big challenge to her that needed to be finish at all.
“Don’t falter, push them away, don’t break in formation!” Yinhua cried to the crowd of footmen.
The footmen heeds to the words of Yinhua, they make a concrete defense, and simultaneously pierce the enemies with their spear, the enemies are still rampaging and bumping onto their shields, but their shield defensive formation never faltered, furthermore they still doing the same attack at will simultaneously and without hesitation, many bodies is been skewered by the spear tip, countless dead bodies piled up on the ground, sooner, the wave is over, Yinhua task the other footmen to pile the bodies and buried them to the fields, which these soldiers obey, the night sky are starting to emerged, Yinhua knows that the number of Duke’s alliance army is greatly reduce to thousands, but still she never let her guard down, she keep monitoring the movement of the enemies via scouts, and make a fast report to the other Lords and nobles.
“I need to cultivate now while it still free, there is no time to waste!” Yinhua thought and start to sit cross legs, and then concentrate to cultivate and starting the second pages of the two supreme cultivation techniques and the intent chant.
A powerful aura imbued Yinhua in her deep trance, she keep concentrate into cultivating and become silent in profound state as she float and concentrate the divine energy inside of her soul real, inside her soul realm the vortex revolving are become more purer and extremely active, the distribution of divine energy spreads to her whole divine body, she is now recovering the fifteen percentage of her lost power.
A hour later, a massive wave of energy felt in the Roder road, Yinhua finally break through to one star iron rank martial fighter, as she is dwenched in sweat, she then start to wipe her face to remove the sweats in her forehead, The “Seven Foundations Divinator Supreme Technique”, “Heavenly Resonance Guiding Technique“ and the “Intent Chant Of Divine Beast Ruler” are truly very powerful and forminable techniques she have been practice so far, she felt that her power become multifolds stronger than her previous strength.
“Just so-so, still need to be more diligent and patience to achieve a higher stages” Yinhua muttered as she stands and then look to the crowd who is staring at her in shock.
“Something wrong?” Yinhua ask.
“Uhmm, nothing, nothing at all, Lady Sakura” One of the footmen answers.
“Good, now get back to your respective post!” Yinhua said as she moves to her tent, remove her clothes, exposing her voluptuous and plump chest, and her broaden hips and deadly curves and then she rest for bit.
Sooner the scouts return swiftly and make a report, some footmen went to Yinhua’s tent, and report the returns of the scouts.
“Fine! I’m coming, just a bit sec!” Yinhua said as she start to wear her clothes again and walk out from his tent, there are three scouts in front of her all of them are kneeling to the ground and then spoke.
“Report to milady, we saw the Duke Christopher in their camp on the other side of the road, they look in terrible state, as for now it looks like they gonna send some messenger here soon, that’s all” One of the scout said.
“Everything is fine in the area, nothing seems much suspicious and all locations are clear” Said the other.
“There is no enemy movement at all, they are really in a heavy pinch now” Last one report.
“I see, looks like they need to cool off after what happen to them, indeed a wise choice” Yinhua said as she signs in relief.
“Every one, take a rest, the enemies are not moving, but be alert, you three, continue to monitor the surroundings, report immediately if there something abnormal happening at your side!” Yinhua ordered and then she moves to her post and become to cultivate again.
“Yes Milady!” all respond, and begin their rest as the three scouts moves away by their horse and sooner their silhouette gone in the sights of everyone.

Meanwhile at the mountain side, Erica sighted via telescope a huge horde of enemies entering the road based on the report of her scouts, she then make the operation to move, every fire mages form their fire balls at once, Erica moves forward to them.
“The operation Snow Wave will be commence, as per said shot all the mountain top and side, and make sure it will hit the explosive barrels laying in the snow, am I understood!” Erica Announce with a serious tone and then look to the location of the enemies below.
“Yes Professor Erica!” The mages replied with vigour.
“Now then, move now to your respective position, let see what this impact explosion can cause to this snowy mountain” Erica added and used again the telescope to foreseen what happening below, often dark, but using a special magic that allow her to have a vision at night, she has no problems for it.
“On my mark, squad one, mountain to the left side three rows ahead, Fire!” Erica Ordered and the mages fire their huge fireball to the said mountain direction and coordination.
It was a huge explosion and sooner Erica used her telescope again and her eyes widen, a huge wave of snow flowing down from the mountains, it is approaching the tail end of the horde of enemies, a big trouble for them that’s for sure.
“Snow wave,,,, I see, ufufufu, heheheh, ahahahaha- AHAHAHAH!” Erica Maniacal laugh all of the sudden, this tactic she witness is never seen before, using a huge explosion just to make a wave of unstoppable force of snow is to sudden, such an eye-opener tactics, this noble should have the biggest contributions to the Lightenguard kingdom and give the outmost respect.
“Professor? The wave of snow, isn’t it a,,” A mage said in giving concern to the situation.
“A part of the plan, indeed a brilliant plan” Erica answers, she just gave a bitter smile and look to the other mountains near the roads.
“Mountain to left side, in second row, on mark, Fire!” She added suddenly.
Another explosion that also give a huge release of the Avalanche, it’s impending wave can buried alive any leaving it standing on its path, an unstoppable force of nature, below the mountain the supplies group consist of workers and knights from Duke Christopher’s dukedom come, but they face a huge trouble, an avalanche is already coming closer to them, all they can do is to run and abandon all the heavy supplies to live from the tidal wave of snow.
“Run! Leave all the hampering baggage, abandon all the carts! RUN!” A knight said and starts to move his horse in hurry.
Mountains to mountains in Alphac are blown by huge explosion and producing a mass of avalanche, rushing down from the mountain side swallowing the whole ground and erases the boulders and terrains existence.
“Move, move, if you don’t want to die in that wave!”
“Get out of my way, I need to live and go home!”
“No! Not my cart!!”
“What the hell is going on, Damn!”
“Holy Sh*t! Son of a B**ch!”
“RUUUUNNN!!!”
All of the people below are scattering and running for their lives, while one by one of them are caught in the wave, it destroys the Supplies cart, and buried all animals that pulled it alive along with the unlucky people who are slow, Erica and the rest of the mages just watch them buried alive in a snow wave, their hearts shaken in shock, this,, is truly a mind blowing tactic they witness.
“Everyone let’s go down now, operation is finish, we need to regroup with the others now, but for sure do not let yourselves to be spotted by enemies!” Erica said and then put away her telescope.
“Yes Professor!” All of the mages replied.
Below them is a pile of snow that buried alive all the unlucky enemies, along with their horses and carts, pity that they will never see the sun rise again, the group of mages proceed to go down from their headquarters in the mountain and proceed on the other side of the road and taking measure how to avoid detection, they start to move.

At the Lightenguard castle, Princess Erina walks again in the balcony, looking to their garden and the birds freely flying, she then stares to the wide night sky, and shining stars, she then let a deep breath and speak suddenly.
“I know your there, you can’t stop hiding!” Princess Erina said as she turned her back from the balcony.
Suddenly a group of mercenary assassins entered the room from the open door and reveals with their weapons in their hands, all of them are leaking of killing intent, with also a lustful eyes looking to the princess body.
“As I thought, their security here is rather weak and open, my dear princess, let this man give you a last rite of your pitiful life” a hooded figure said as he revealed his blade in his hands.
“Don’t worry your death will be painless, no need to struggle anymore” The long haired one said, as he drawn his blade.
“Sorry, but this is only we can do, but we promise, we make sure to be gentle as we watch you die!” The Bald one said while knitting his fist.
“I see, is that so, them allow me to accompany you fine gentleman in my room!” Princess Erina said, showing a calm and stable emotion.
“What do you mean?” Another assassin said as he become to frown on what Erina said about.
The author's tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.
“You will see,,,” Erina replied.
Suddenly a knights enter swiftly to the room and many mages entered the balcony, royal guard falls from the ceilling and land safely in the sides of Erina, Erina just chuckle and sit at the chair.
“The hell?” One of the assassins said in surprised in a fast paced action of the securities of the princess.
“Assassins surrender now or else we will make you suffer a lot!” A royal guard said as he drawn his sword and point it to the assassins.
“There is no escape you are caged inside the trap we set!” The Mage said while holding his staff.
“What did you just say again Mr, I can’t hear it loudly” Erina said nonchalantly as she look to the dumb face assassin that was surprised in ambush.
“DAMN IT!!” Words that only gush out of the assassin’s mouth.
And the rest was silence inside the room of the Lightenguard castle, the assassins was captured and imprisoned, A spy came to the Princess to report that Lord Urzan is involve and collaborating with the Duke Christopher and also the one who send the culprit to poison the king’s food and drinks, as the spy saw the assassin talking and conversing to Lord Urzan in the sides of the street about the entry to the castle to capture her, Erina order to immediate arrest Lord Urzan and sentenced him to death due to treason and rebelling against the kingdom of Lightenguard, she is also amazed about the calculation of Yinhua based on what will happen to the field, looks like she knows already that the enemies will surely sent some assassins in taking down the kingdom’s core to demoralize it’s citizen, she felt a truly admiration to Yinhua, if Yinhua was just a boy, she will want to be married to her without any objection, a kinds of the likes of her should be rewarded and treasured, she will never forget her huge contribution in survival of this kingdom.
<<<<====/////░░░▒█▀▀█▀▀█▄▄▄█▀▀█▀▀█▒░░░\\\\\====>>>>
Meanwhile back to the Duke’s camp, a few survivors from the avalanche came heavily panted in tiredness to face the duke, all of them are in sorry state, a warrior captain report sooner to the Duke and give them a permission to report their situation, later they face the Duke inside the main tent, they felt a tremendous fear inside them as the cold sweat formed in their body parts.
“You say that you were ambushed by the enemies, right?” Duke Christopher said with chilling tone, the temperature of the room sudden drops.
“Yes milord, we was ambushed by mages that made a huge explosion in the mountains and sooner a huge wave of snow running towards us and want to swallow us whole, luckily we manage to survive” the noble survivor said in scared tone.
“Crafty bastards, they starting to mock me truly huh, Erebus!” Duke Christopher said and called one of his trusty aide.
“Yes Milord!” An immediate answer from the aide at his side.
“Go and send a messenger, I will challenge their leader to a duel, this is only my trump card to escape on this mess” Duke Christopher said in desperation because he don’t want to lose without a face to anyone, that will tarnish his honor.
“As you wish, right away!” Erebus replied and rush outside and do his job.
“Milord…” One of the nobles at the side said.
“I know I will rather die than surrender to their hands, or maybe if I can defeat their leader, we can turned the tables in our side” Duke Christopher said then he just sigh, hoping that there will be a miracle to happen.
He truly underestimate his foes greatly, leaving him now in total off-guard backfire, this was his huge mistake, he still clenching his teeth and grip his fingers, why did all of the sudden the kingdom of Lightenguard gets such powerful force without their notice, he sent so many spies inside their kingdom, just who is the one who promote such weapon of destruction that rained to their former planned camp, and where is the Calvary forces that will make a pincer ambush attack, this is truly mysterious.
Sooner the messenger moves after the order is passed to him, he rides his horse and move to the Roder road, after a few minutes he reach the camp of Yinhua, where he introduce himself as the duke’s messenger and give the said message, Yinhua smiled and nods in agreement, every footmen was shock to witness that Yinhua accept a duel in the middle of war without hesitation.
“You guys report the situation now, tell them that I need to do some Tango with the Duke” Yinhua said and smugly smiled.
“If that’s is your wish, then we heed now, milady, but be careful, Duke Christopher is a very strong swordsman!” one of the foot men said.
“Is that so, that’s good to hear, I hate fighting unworthy people at all” Yinhua respond and start to ride on her horse.
Yinhua leaves as she follows the messenger to the middle of the road, sooner they reach an abandon part of the road, only the tree of them alone there, Yinhua, The messenger, and Duke Christopher.
“Ara, ara, if is it the great and undefeated Duke Christopher, A pleasure to meet such a magnificent figure in front of me” Yinhua said and giggles in joy.
“A lady? Their leader is a girl, buwahahahhaha! I’ve never expected such a turns of event, If so, you dare to battle such as me?” Duke Christopher responds.
“Why such talk, let’s get wild!” Yinhua answers and draw her claymore.
“Ok, since the two of you are now ready and prepared, we will begin the oath of the honourable duel, as per promise not to break the honourable code of knights, you, Lady Saura and Duke Christopher, shall accept the covenant of the swords without regretting any premises?”
“Yes I am!” Both Yinhua and Duke Christopher said without hesitation.
“As a witness of this battle, the one army should surrender for the war at the losing sides for the triumph of the winner, the battle commence,,,, begin!!” the messenger said and signals the beginning of the duel.
Yinhua jump on her horse and make a dashing stab straight to the duke in a flash, the duke was alarm in sudden rush and drawn his broad sword and blocked easy the attack as the metal sparks form from the impact, Yinhua suddenly change her claymore to Naginata and make a wide arc of slash, beheaded the horse and surprise the duke, as expected, the duke jump off from his headless horse and retaliate a wide swing, Yinhua make another sharp swing, both weapons collide and make another spark on impact, blowing away the dust and leaves at the side, both of the parties exchanging blows to blows, their attack is blurring in speed, metal clangs in each hit and produce spark, none of the two stops from their attacks, like they are equal in setting of footing in each attack their made, Yinhua charge her energy to her weapon and so the duke, they start to run straight to each other to prepare a powerful strike, when they meet, both of the two swing hard their weapons and making a shockwave in their surroundings, even the messenger who watch at the sides is trembling in fear.
“You are good, making to fight this far” Duke Christopher said in prideful tone.
“Not all just talk, but can swing hard too, I admire your resolve” Yinhua replied casually.
“Tsk, we’ll see then, “Berserk”!” Duke Christopher said and activates his skill-power, his whole body emits a reddish aura, his body trembles and getting bigger, until his size grew a few meters taller than Yinhua, his face turned into berserker rage.
“Ahahaha, that’s what I’m talking about, come one, steroids guy!” Yinhua taunts and then change her naginata and turned it into black gauntlet and greaves, then she start the chant Bridge of The Roaring Tiger and Bridge of The Soaring Azure Dragon.
The battle resumes again, in terms of power and strength, Duke Christopher exceeds, but in other aspects Yinhua dominates, She is much faster and nimble than the duke, she also can fight head on without a problem, because she always target the blind spot of the duke and it’s opening while dodging its dangerous attacks, Yinhua changes weapon to weapons, harassing the duke, making him in total distress because of Yinhua’s unpredictable moves, whenever she come closer to the duke, she give a powerful blow by her claymore, blade, Naginata and gauntlet and greaves combo, in the distance she use bow to fires arrows, and then shuriken and elemental attacks, she always block the Duke’s successful attack by the Bridge of The Flowing Tortoise defence formation, and counter with devastating attacks, their fight continues as many minutes pass.
“I will end this! “Lion Roar”!” Duke Christopher said and cast a powerful spell that his howling voice turn like thunderous roar that staggering who hears it.
Yinhua just endure the roar and block the sound waves with the Bridge of The flowing Tortoise defence formation, she grit her teeth, she then stand firm and then concentrate her power and take a deep trance of culminating resonance, the duke notice that Yinhua doesn’t fight back, he smiled devilishly and charge a momentum, then prepares a massive huge swing for a finishing blow, but then he hears a resonating voice of Yinhua in his surroundings.
“Reforge my spirit and strengthen my will”
“For every single blood, is a blade reforms”
“My soul is my armoury and mind is my weaponry”
“Breath is fire and the hands are metal steel”
“Answer my prayer, answer my call”
“Henceforth I summon you, Petal Fall!”
The surroundings become brighten in flash and covered the whole ground, pink butterflies flew away, a huge Sakura tree form and release so much petal that turned into swords, Yinhua walks towards the dashing duke that about to swing his blade, his movement was in slow motion, before he can reacts, Yinhua made a swift slash, cut the two arms of the duke in just blink of an eye, and the petal swords pierced the duke’s body to the ground, the duke howls in pain, his broadsword flings away with his hands griping its handle, Yinhua look back to The Duke.
“It is over now, it’s time for you to sleep forever” Yinhua said, and suddenly summons her Naginata and beheaded mercilessly the duke and claimed its head in the front of the Sakura tree, the foreground suddenly disperse and gone, revert back to original surroundings, the power diminished inside of Yinhua, the night sky returns, and was left was her and the messenger, the messenger announce the victory of Yinhua and the oath promise of surrendering of the whole alliance army, he then move along with the body of The duke to send the utterly defeat message.
Sooner Yinhua felt a strong presence in the sky, when she looks up, the heaven opens and a colourful aurora borealis form, a huge floating island appears, and shine greatly to the skies.
“Sky Descending Phenomena, Ufufufufu~ at last you appeared” Yinhua said in satisfaction and make a round of applause for the stealer of her spotlight.
“It has begun, then let the true fun begins!”
Sooner a numerous shooting star-like objects flew down from the sky palace and going in different directions, the downfall of the Celestial Maidens and their grand tournament of wishes starts.
