(Lian Li POV)
I had chosen to stay with the first group after retreating back into town, knowing that the first contact would be the most important time that decides if the line will hold or break.
The first charge went about just as well as it could be, I even had the opportunity to strike down several of their Practitioners for being overconfident by flying above us.
After that it was a back and forth tug of war between the Dongs and us.
While the non-Practitioner soldiers held the wall, the Practitioner group would leap over the wall from time to time and inflict as much damage as we could before leaping back. Our archers on the roofs would provide covering fire for both our entry and retreat.
I killed my share and more but a few of our Practitioners were lost when they got careless or the enemy responded fast enough, impaling them with spears or having their own Practitioners counter them.

(Lian Li POV) - A few days before the battle
Guiying looked up at me after completing her meditation, "Is it supposed to be this easy to become a Practitioner? I barely started and manipulating lightning seems so simple now."
I giggled, "That is all thanks to Master. It is because of His teachings that I can do what I do now. Without Master I would still be a helpless little girl."
"Master is... Truly Divine."
"Yes, you would do well to remember that. Also don't forget our prayer."
"How can I forget?" She grinned before putting her hands together. "All for Master."
"All for Master."
