Phantasia: The Princess Knight

"What if they are able to fight just as easily underground?" The Flying Phoenix Sect Master asked.

"That is exactly why we are fighting underground. Let me ask you this, what is underground?" Mei had one very important reason as to why she wanted to fight this battle underground.

"Nothing normally. Occasionally you will find some kind of resource or artifact." The Flying Phoenix Sect Master replied.

"Exactly, there is nothing underground. So it is okay for us to destroy the entire area. Let's say the enemy has flooded an entire tunnel and you are by yourself. Normally you would think your end is near but since you are in a very enclosed space there is more that you can do than meets the eye. Like, let's say we set up a lot of traps... If we position traps at certain locations we can destroy large amounts of enemies with ease. Now let's think about my earlier example. You are flooded by the enemy, there are at least a thousand, while you are only one. You have a device in your hand that will let you set off the explosives that are right underneath the enemy's feet, to their sides, and above their heads. These explosives are strong enough to melt any kind of metal. Now think of how many you can take out with a single click of a button. 

"Of course we would not be using explosives but magic based traps. My father said something to me that made a lot of sense when I talked to him earlier. He told me that my mother said that even the smallest of spells can be very dangerous if used correctly. This is truly something that is one hundred percent correct. The thing about magic is that it can be used in the same way as one would use talismans. But does not need to be in hand to be triggered. Now the spell I used to chase off the people from the Machine Empire earlier, killed one number and one named. This means it is powerful enough to break through their defenses.

"Since that is the case, over the next year or so I will be making mini versions of this spell embedded into common things like rocks. If you add enough of these rocks to a tunnel you will have a last resort spell ready for when it is needed." Mei had quickly put this plan together. She did not know why she was able to think up a plan so fast that was as elaborate as this but she was quite proud of herself. She took all the limited information she had on the Machine Empire and used it to its fullest.

Everyone in the room nodded their head and began to discuss how to go about appointing tasks. They now knew what needed to be done and had decided to follow Mei's directions completely. Once they settled on who was to do what, the leader of the Ling Clan stood up and said: "I would like to request that Young Miss Mei hold the resources we all provide. And allocate them to the areas that need them most. This way no favoritism can be found within the ranks."

All the elders nodded their heads in approval of this statement. They felt that Mei would be very fair when distributing the resources so that everyone will get a fair amount allocated to them "That's fine, but all raw resources should go directly to the pill refiners, armament masters, and array masters first. The final products should be sent to me to be distributed. Also, each clan and sect leader should give me a list of all the resources they are donating before sending them out. This way we can match the items to the list. Any stealing of resources by greedy individuals will result in harsh punishment. I will leave the punishments to your elders." 

"This works out well. In time of war, we can not allow those with greedy and selfish intentions to go unpunished." The Ling Clan leader felt this was a very good idea.

After the meeting, everyone parted ways. Grandpa Mu, Mei, and Tang Guanting were still in the meeting room. "Young Miss, I must say your plan was very in depth. Do you think it will work out?" Tang Guanting asked.contemporary romance

"There is no certainty in war. If everything goes according to plan they will be most worried about me and Grandpa Mu, so their focus will be on us. Not only do they want us but they also want the entire lower realm as a base of operations. By fighting underground we can have an easier time while they will not. As it is now we can only play the wait and see game."

A year and a half passed by. In the frozen tundra to the far north inside the mortal plane a large crack in space time opened up. From it, millions of robotic figures poured out. At the forefront were two figures that Mei would recognize immediately. "Lina it is not too late to go back. If your father finds out you snuck off to this backwater world to get revenge, he will surely punish not only you but me as well!" Lina was not supposed to come with the army to take over this world, she had forcefully joined right as they were entering the space time rift.

"No, I must watch that little bitches face when she is filled with despair. She dares kill people from our great Machine race? Although we can not kill her, no one said we couldn't make her suffer until she wished she was dead!"
