Though up against an elite force more than, Shiao-zhang Jasmine Liu led the Holdfast Guard in a series of traps set with hidden units and shadow lances. The Guard repeated this again and again, there take incredible losses until finally they forced Ma-Tsu Kai into the open, where the House Warriors were destroyed.

Jihad

During the Jihad, House Ma-Tsu Kai landed on Ningpo facing the Word of Blake's 13th Division. There House Ma-Tsu Kai continually harried the flanks of the 13th while the Ningpo militia pinned them in place. The Blakists responded by launching a WMD against House Ma-Tsu Kai, destroying several units. The Warrior House responded by sending their own WMD at the Blakist lines and destroying a Level III. Eventually the Capellan defenders were pushed back into Ningbo - Ningpo's capital city - and the fighting turned ugly. The conflicts between the two forces leveled the capital city. Though fighting bravely, the 13th Division had more troops and the tide was turning against Ma-Tsu Kai. The Warrior House's surviving warriors launched a frontal assault on the 13th's position. This nearly suicidal move did rout the Blakists but inflicted serious losses on Ma-Tsu Kai and left them vulnerable to a counterattack. Fortunately Warrior House Ijori arrived to reinforce the few Ma-Tsu Kai survivors.[1]

The last attack of Warrior House Ma-Tsu Kai broke the back of the defending Blakists, but at the cost of Warrior House Ma-Tsu Kai. The Warrior House ceased to exist after that attack.[2]
