Building Troops: Yellow Turban Bombardier (5/5)

Troop Introduction: Originally Yellow Turban Mages, they discovered the use of gunpowder during Alchemy and hence devoted themselves to the study of gunpowder, proficiently using the Sky Shattering Bomb to enhance its power and range and to avoid misfires, but this focus prevents them from wearing heavy equipment which would impede the use of the Sky Shattering Bomb.

Sky Shattering Bomb

Equipment Order: First-Order (top quality)

Equipment Attributes: 20 Thunder, 30 Fire, 60 Explosion.

Equipment Effect: Thunderbolt (made from a mixture of gunpowder, Thunder Series, and Fire Law, when stimulated it can cause severe thunder and fire explosion damage, but due to immature technology, use by any class of troops/heroes/lords other than Yellow Turban Bombardiers has a very high chance of misfiring, causing severe casualties to one’s own side)

Equipment Introduction: Non-professionals, do not touch!

"..."

Looking at the introduction of the Yellow Turban Gunpowder Room and the Yellow Turban Bombardier, Xu Yang fell silent.

The use of technology blueprints usually results in three outcomes: first, failure; second, success; third, mutation.

The first two need no explanation, either no results are achieved, or success is as desired, acquiring the technology depicted in the blueprints.

The third is a bit special. Due to differences between civilizations, technology might mutate resulting in outcomes good or bad, all depending on luck.

Xu Yang now encountered such mutated technology; firearms manufacturing turned into gunpowder manufacturing, and instead of the predicted "Rifleman" troop, the "Grenadier" troop appeared.

Although theoretically, the power of a hand grenade exceeds that of a rifle, everyone knows that hand grenades cannot serve as main battle weapons, as their range and ammunition capacity is far less than a rifle’s.

This logic also applies to the Yellow Turban Bombardier. Despite their great power, they are few in number, have short range, and are prone to misfires. Combined with the Bombardier’s weak equipment, if targeted by enemy snipers on the battlefield, the Sky Shattering Bomb would explode not on the enemy, but on themselves.

Of course, given the powerful force of the Sky Shattering Bomb, if used well, this troop type could still achieve surprising victories.

Thus, there’s an old saying inside the Sky-reaching Tower: there are no useless Civilization Units, only useless lords and heroes.

"Almost there!"

Xu Yang stood up and looked at Lv Qiling beside him, "In three days, there will be a major battle, be prepared."

"Qiling understands!"

Lv Qiling nodded, her expression also turning serious.

"You don’t have to be so tense."

Xu Yang smiled, looking at the White Tiger Armor she held in her hands, "Put it on."

He then proceeded to help her don the armor.

This is reality, not a game; donning armor is a troublesome task, it’s just simpler when taking it off.

"Your affinity with Lv Qiling has been raised to 260 points!"

"..."

Let’s not talk about preparations for war for now.

Meanwhile, at Heaven-Connecting Academy, Ninth Campus, in a meeting room.

"Is he still refusing to communicate?"

Two women stood in the middle, reporting to a young man seated.

The young man was unsurprised, "It seems he is determined to go down this path."

The woman in plain clothes remained silent, while the other woman spoke cheerily, "Since he is obstinately resilient until the end, we need not talk about kindness, let’s take down his territory and terminate his improper thoughts."

"I just received word that he’s using the Yellow Turban Civilization, and his Civilization Wonders construction has just finished. In three days, a large army from the Han Dynasty will attack his territory, and the lords of Han Dynasty Civilization have also received a bounty to join the attack."

"Although only ten First-Order lords are allowed to join the army, it’s sufficient. We can issue an extra bounty to recruit the most reputable and strongest lords from Han civilization to join this attack."

"Ten lords collaborating plus that Eastern Han army, even if his Martial Power is extraordinary, the chances of him holding his territory are minimal."

"He is currently only seventh on the Newcomer List; losing his territory will greatly damage his reputation, and in the remaining months, it is unlikely he can make a comeback on the leaderboard."

"This way, our objective can be reached..."

The woman spoke with great assurance.

"Okay!"

The young man nodded, then turned his gaze to the plainly dressed woman, "An Ran, I understand your thoughts, but we don’t have many options at this point. You may go back now; let Chen Yi handle this matter."

Upon hearing this, An Ran, the plainly dressed woman, said nothing and turned to leave the meeting room.

The young man returned his gaze to the woman called Chen Yi, "In some matters, you either do not do them or you go all the way, leaving no loopholes or hidden dangers. Do you understand?"
