139 South VS East 5 (1/2)
”Tang! Tang! Tang!” hammering sound came from the Forging Tent. Although it was noisy, nobody dares to disturb the youth at all. All they know is this youth holds the Yang Token in his hand.
With this token, Zhang Wu Ji is allowed to do anything he wanted, and only the general can punish him in any Military Court offense. But at this moment, the youth did not use the token for his own benefit, but instead...
He was hammering a stack of Silver Ingots inside the tent, which was privately allocated for him to enjoy.
While the others were guessing about what he was doing, In fact, Zhang Wu Ji wasn't the one to do the hammering, but Zhan Yu. The Servant Puppet is taken out to assist him in producing many different parts while he studies the blueprint.

-Information: Created by Arrow Division of Southern Yang Family, the Celestial Bombing Quiver is an independent single firing weapon that can support land soldier from a range. To lighten the loading burden on the user, the Celestial Bombing Quiver comes with two different aspects.

”According to the blueprint, This item was named as a quiver category due to its capability to contain arrows of different usage. Either Explosive Volley or Agile Volley, both attacks are capable of delivering excessive damage, but one compromise in weight, another in the number of ammunition.”
”Still...”
”The trigger process is activated by a Formation Plate, which distributes the explosive ability to fires the arrows. Due to the tedious number of 400 connection is required to succeed in firing all ammunition, it can only be used once.”
”Won't this be solved by... Oh, I understand...” Zhang Wu Ji almost solves the main problem in its firing issue, but soon found another problematic part. Like what the information said, this weapon compromise too much to bring its desired effect.
First of all, the 400 shot capacity forced the weapon to be a single-use disposable design. It was comparable to how Yuan-Tie Hand Cannon works, but a hundred times heavier in cost. Worst of all, it used a single wick to lit 400 arrows, what kind of engineering is this?
The Formation Plate used are the second issue to be taken into consideration. The cost alone to activates this Formation Plate is 40 strands of Warrior Qi. With such an expensive activation cost, how can they replace the first reason with additional formation plates?
It was a fool to use one wick to lit 400 candles, but its idiocy to use more than 40 strands of Warrior Qi to lit a wick!
”I'll follow the main design, but change them to suit my needs. With only 360 strands of Warrior Qi in me, I can only activate them nine times, counting that I don't get attacked.”
”I'm a fool if I follow your design, Arrow Division's Celestial Designer.” Zhang Wu Ji whispered in his heart. By putting in his night in twerking the parts, Zhang Wu Ji starts to assemble the Celestial Bombing Quivers.
In the next morning, everyone was sent into the battlefield once more. Today seems to be a decisive battle when looking at the deployments. Similar to how the South thinks, the East is not losing in their tactics to crush their defense.
Only at Zhang Wu Ji's battlefield itself already deployed a total of five Warrior Chariots. They were equipped with Horse Puppet as the moving engine, with weaponry attached on its four wheels.
Five soldiers took their spot in the chariots, ready to attack anything escaped from the Warrior Chariots.
”Brother Zhang, good luck!” Yelu Yin Yuan was sent to a different battlefield to support that side. This zone is only covered with himself and six other high potential candidates in their 3rd Rank Platoon Commanders.
”Attack!” Zhang Wu Ji charged. With enough time and the assistance from Zhan Yu, his production last night exceeds what he can do alone. But as the battle is just starting, it wasn't wise to use the Celestial Bombing Quiver now.
As he was a long weapon user, Zhang Wu Ji easily destroyed one of the chariots without any trouble. But the others weren't a cultivator comparable to him. His forces started to see significant losses, but it wasn't deep enough to damage the vitality of the zone he's in.
And as he expected, the moment more soldiers from his side succumb to their defeats, more soldiers are dispatched into the zone. At this moment, their opponent's number reaches three thousand, two times above them.
”Executes the retreating signal.” Zhang Wu Ji ordered.
”Bam! Bam! Bam!” explosion caused by the Natural Spring gives out the sign of retreating. But the way they ran is too organized.
Instead of escaping randomly, they gathered at both Left and Right Corridors, as if escaping not from the chariots, but something else.
”General Zhang, the situation is Platoon Commander Zone 5 starts to change.” a field officer reported.
”I can see that. Continue forward!” Zhang Tian Lei ordered as his sight focused on the zone Zhang Wu Ji is located.
”What is the soldier in Zone 5 tries to do? Yang Nan, your tricks are worthless against my Lightning Chariots. Even your troublesome Celestial Bombing something... Wait!” Zhang Tian Lei suddenly remembered something important.
”Did they perfected it? But nobody can control that weapon easily! Not even master archers!” Zhang Tian Lei's focus on Zone 5 is higher than before.
But his order comes a few seconds too late.
The Succeed or Die situation once again activated the bloodline hidden deep inside Zhang Wu Ji's body. With the word [Zhang] appeared on his forehead once more!
”That kid possessed a Zhang Bloodline Inheritance!” Zhang Tian Lei made his remark. And that remark caught the attention of four other Right Zhang's Family.
At the same time, the Golden Nameplate in Zhang Tian Lei's hand flashes again.
”That's the kid who caused the Nameplate to reacts!” Zhang Tian Lei pointed at the youth, but everything was prepared.
Using his enhanced sight, Zhang Wu Ji opened his hand wide and activated the enhanced Celestial Bombing Quivers. In total, he activated four quivers on the ground but fired two.
Eight hundred arrows volley spreads across the entire battlefield, where the explosion blinded the sight of everyone staring on the battlefield. The moment the hell breaks loose, the battle in all zone halts.
”What happened there!” everyone only has one similar question in their mind.
But the attack is yet to be over. The group that gathered on the left and right corridor marched forward out of confidence, but what was shocking about their march is not because of their numbers, but the fact both left and right is carrying a Quiver is what made them afraid!
Zhang Wu Ji spreads his hand wide once more, igniting the Natural Springs as his order. At this moment, both Celestial Bombing Quivers on the left and right corridor fired.
Their target?
The Eastern Imperial Kingdom's Commanding Wing of course!
Four hundred arrows filled with explosive made their way towards the wing, and explosion started to spreads. Even those in their Inner Qi Soldier strength failed to defend against an attack of this magnitude.
But!
”Heaven Lightning Screen!” Zhang Tian Lei's forehead has a [Zhang] word too! His Zhang Bloodline Inheritance ignites and destroyed all the attack before they hit their Commanding Wing!
