Battle of Ki-Rin's Shrine

Battle of Ki-Rin's Shrine was held to control the field around the Ki-Rin's Shrine. Dragon was looking lands for their fleeing refugees.

Starting maneouvres
Both armies were camped, and few skirmishes happened between them. Twice an hour, concealed Phoenix shugenja casted magical flares which detonated above the Dragon camp with a blinding explosion and a deafening report.

Tamori's Flame
Junnosuke started the main hostilities using a special catapult, the Tamori's Flame. Their fire made a slaughter in the Phoenix shugenja.

Battle
Junnosuke attacked the entrenched Phoenix camp at dawn, but at noon he decided to retreat in order, due to heavy casualties. The Phoenix commander challenged Junnosuke, with his forces rosing up from the trenches. Junnosuke run to him and he was able to kill the enemy leader, waiting the incoming death from the remaining Phoenix troops.

Disguised Scorpion attacked the Phoenix from rear. The Dragon army rushed past Junnosuke, and monks, formerly Dragon, casted fiery magic. The Phoenix army was routed.

Aftermath
After the victory, Junnosuke received two messages. The first from Dragon Clan Champion, Mirumoto Uso, recalling him to deal with the Lion presence on Dragon southern border. The second from Hantei Naseru.
