Breaking Through the Defenses

### Chapter 15: Breaking Through the Defenses Though the dark strongholds' defenses were solid as rock, the Alliance's warriors relied on their indomitable will, exceptional ingenuity, and seamless cooperation to find ways out of their predicament amid grueling battles, advancing step by step into the strongholds. On the battlefield deep in the Spirit Road Mountains, the Allied Forces of the Wind Spirit Family and the Spirit Feather School swiftly adjusted their tactics after meeting fierce resistance from the dark stronghold. The Wind Spirit Family's captain noticed that after the Dark Spiritual Energy Shield absorbed a large number of spiritual power attacks, its energy would briefly fluctuate and its runes would flicker erratically. He gathered the Spirit Feather School's elder and the Allied Forces' spiritual power experts to discuss a countermeasure. "We can concentrate our strength and unleash our strongest attacks the instant the shield fluctuates. We might be able to break it," the Wind Spirit Family's captain said. The Spirit Feather School's elder nodded in agreement. "But we'll need to time it precisely and bring everyone's power together in perfect harmony." The Allied Forces began making urgent preparations. They selected the members whose spiritual power was strongest and most stable, forming the Shield-Breaking Vanguard Team. These members practiced combining their power, coordinating with one another to ensure they could release their spiritual power in unison at the critical moment. Meanwhile, the Wind Spirit Family sent its fastest members racing around the stronghold to draw the Dark Forces' attention and spread their defenses thin. The Spirit Feather School's disciples maintained a barrage of spiritual power feather arrows from a distance, keeping pressure on the enemy and disrupting the Dark Mages' control over the shield. Once everything was ready, the Shield-Breaking Vanguard Team waited for the Dark Spiritual Energy Shield's next fluctuation.
