King Ming Kang was pleased to welcome Prince Ming Lang and his two elder brothers. Their arrival and fifty thousand additional warriors, further strengthened the might of the Ming Kingdom.

“Ayahanda, heavy weapons troops have also come and are ready to pound the enemy defenses,”, said Prince Ming Lang who also includes heavy weapons troops in the entourage he brought to the battlefield.

King Ming Kang smiled broadly at the presence of heavy weapons troops, where heavy weapons troops had special weaponry that could instantly annihilate hundreds of soldiers each time of use.

“Prepare all! This morning we also attacked the enemy fortress,” exclaimed King Ming Kang.

All the Generals immediately prepared their troops who would be at the very front of the line. Although there was previously the terror of the mysterious figure who managed to injure the three Royal Generals, everyone was excited again after the arrival of Prince Ming Lang's entourage.

With the strength that the Ming Kingdom possessed, they were confident of defeating the defensive power of the Shu Kingdom, and bringing home a great victory.

Shortly after the sun rose from the east, over two hundred thousand Ming Kingdom soldiers had formed an attacking formation with ten cannons facing towards the Shu Kingdom fortress in Zhuhai City, the capital of the city, a city in the territory of the Shu Kingdom that borders directly with the territory of the Ming Kingdom.

In addition to the ten cannons, there were over twenty fire throwers who had also been prepared by the Ming Kingdom's heavy weapons army.

Princess Liu Yao who saw the weaponry belonging to the Ming Kingdom, she was not at all surprised or afraid. He already knew the Ming Kingdom had an army of heavy weapons, and he had prepared a surprise for them.

Princess Liu Yao simply raised her hand, the soldiers of Shu Kingdom who were guarding the fortress immediately pushed forward dozens of cannons, showing the Ming Kingdom that it was not only those who had heavy weaponry.

Not only the cannons, on the inside of the fortress which was Zhuhai City, over twenty fire throwers had been prepared by the soldiers of Shu Kingdom. If all that was not enough to defeat the enemy, Princess Liu Yao still had the silver lotus cavalry, which this time there were at least 80,000 members of the silver lotus cavalry already in Zhuhai City.

Although their number was less than the number of Ming Kingdom soldiers. With the strength of a single member of the silver lotus cavalry who was on par with the Empire's elite soldiers. It was not something that was difficult for them to resist, and defeat the weaker Ming Kingdom warriors compared to the Empire's elite warriors.

“Your Majesty King Ming Kang, it is not too late if you acknowledge the power of the Shu Kingdom, and decide to surrender without putting up a fight,” Princess Liu Yao said in a loud voice.

“Bag-How can their cannon count more, than the number of cannons I have?..” King Ming Kang was puzzled as to how the Shu Kingdom could possess cannon weapons, while cannons were objects that the Ming Kingdom had purchased from western merchants.

“Ayahanda take it easy, even though their weapons are more, we still have two warriors who can destroy them,” said Prince Ming Lang who did not know about the attack on the Ming Kingdom camp, who had not yet learned about the attack, who succeeded in wounding three Royal Generals.

King Ming Kang nodded his head. At least he still had hopes of winning the war by relying on the strength possessed by the two demon swordsman disciples.

“King Ming Kang, what is your decision? Want to give up, or continue what we haven't started?” asked Princess Liu Yao who was still standing quietly on top of the fortress.

King Ming Kang showed a smile on his face then he directed a sharp look at Princess Liu Yao, and after that he ordered his soldiers to attack the fortress of Shu Kingdom in Zhuhai City.

“My goal to come to this place is to fight and seize the territory of Shu Kingdom. How could I admit defeat and withdraw troops before starting the war?” said King Ming Kang then followed a thunderous sound that felt from cannon fire.

“If fighting is your decision, I am happy to serve your wish.” Princess Liu Yao leaped to the heights, then she used the shawl tied around her waist to dispel as well as return the explosive iron ball that was ejected from the mouth of the cannon.

Explosive iron balls thrown from the mouth of the cannon, now it leads to Ming Kingdom soldiers.

Booms... Booms... Booms...

The sound of explosions rang out as cannonballs fired by Ming Kingdom soldiers rained down on their comrades on the front lines, and left hundreds of dead soldiers exposed to weapons that were supposed to kill their enemies.

“That woman, she at least has the equivalent strength of us,” said one of the demon swordsmen disciples, who saw how Princess Liu Yao returned the Ming Kingdom warrior cannon attack.

To be recognized as the King's swordsman, a swordsman must successfully open at least ten of the entire inner powerhouse points in his body. Before successfully doing that, a swordsman would only be said to be an Expert Swordsman whose existence was quite a lot in the martial world.

Seeing how easily Princess Liu Yao blocked the cannon fire, the two demon hand swordsmen disciples believed the woman had almost managed to open the ten inner power center points on her body.

“Your Majesty, continue the attack! Let us fight that woman.” Two demonic swordsmen disciples darted forward towards Princess Liu Yao.

The two of them just directly attacked Princess Liu Yao. However, having not yet managed to land an attack on the Princess, Qiao Bao and General Shang Hong first managed to resist their attacks.

“Murid swordsman devil's hand. How about you guys be my opponents?..” Qiao Bao just directly attacked one of the demon swordsman disciples.

The demon swordsman disciple who was Qiao Bao's opponent, he was shocked by the strength of the person who was his opponent. From his speed and strength, it was obvious to him that he was faced with an opponent who had equal strength to him.

As for the demon swordsman disciple who had gotten an attack from General Shang Hong, he also felt what his fellow apprentice felt.

“Not only that woman, but they still have another powerful figure,”, said King Ming Kang looking at the course of the battle between two demon swordsmen disciples and two of Princess Liu Yao's protectors.

Despite realizing victory was hard to come by, King Ming Kang still continued his attacks. He even used fireball throwers to hurl fireballs at Zhuhai City. However, as the fireballs approached the sturdy defensive fortifications of Zhuhai City, a strange force detonated fireballs before it made it past the defensive fort.

After continuing to conduct experiments that had even depleted the entire stockpile of fireballs and explosive iron balls used as cannonballs. None of the attacks carried out by the Ming Kingdom, had a destructive impact on the fortress of Zhuhai City.

Seeing that the long-range attacks were not bearing fruit, King Ming Kang tried to carry out a melee attack.

King Ming Kang ordered the three Generals to lead fifty thousand soldiers to destroy the gate of Zhuhai City's defensive fortress.

Obtaining the order, the three Generals just directly set up an assault formation, and moved forward to destroy the enemy's defensive fortress gate.

However, their movements did not go smoothly because from the top of the fortress, the soldiers of Shu Kingdom started firing cannons and arrows to reduce their numbers.

After fifteen minutes of moving forward, they finally arrived before the gate of the enemy defense fortress, but their number was only half of the previous number that reached fifty thousand people.

Although it had reduced a lot, with the amount available they could still move the tools used to destroy the defensive fortress gate.

However, not yet had they destroyed the gate of the enemy's defensive fortress, the huge gate in front of them opened, along with hundreds of arrows raining down on them.

“Sial!.. we have entered into their trap!..” The three Ming Kingdom Generals cooperated in blocking the arrows that were pointing towards them.

Using the sword, the three of them continued to move, driving away the arrows that kept coming out of the gate that had currently opened wide, but none of the Ming Kingdom's soldiers managed to break into the city behind the enemy's stronghold.

King Ming Kang and Prince Ming Lang who saw how the fate of the three Generals as well as the fifty thousand warriors who were trying to destroy the gates of the enemy defense fortress, they began to think of pulling the troops back from the battlefield.

However, King Ming Kang and Prince Ming Lang, both of whom still did so when they saw that the two demon swordsmen disciples were still able to keep up with the strength of Princess Liu Yao's two protectors who were their opponents.

“Ayahanda, as long as they can defeat those two and conquer Princess Liu Yao, we still have hope of winning the battle in this place, he said,” said Prince Ming Lang who was greeted by a nod to King Ming Kang's head.
