Northwestern Earth Kingdom
Pohuai Stronghold
“Thank you for your hospitality Colonel”. High in a guard post on the inner walls, the short captain Han uttered towards the man opposite with a slight bow.
“It is no problem Captain”. The Colonel replied apathetically. “After all, I do owe you a favor. And we're all in this war together. On the matter of hunting down rebels, as long as it doesn't inconvenience our efforts to do our jobs, you have my support”.
Colonel Shine, supervising officer of the Pohuai Stronghold.
A man only a few inches taller than the short Captain himself.
Han nodded, his gaze moving down below and a flash of envy appearing in his eyes.
“Wonderful aren't they?” A smile appeared on Shinu's face seeing the direction of his gaze.
“Indeed”. The Captain made no secret of his envy. “Soldiers with such precision are rare assets”.
“Every one of them”. Shinu nodded. “I understand how you feel Han. I personally felt the same way eight years ago when I first took over this stronghold”.
Shinu remembered that day. The day the Yuyan Archers displayed their skills right before his eyes.
He nearly made a fool of himself looking so slack-jawed.
Suuuuiii!
Down below.
An arrow streaked through the air, hitting the bullseye accurately. A moment later, another arrow hit that arrow, splitting it in half. Another second elapsed, and two more arrows pierced through, splitting each one in half successively.
'Such skill, such precision'. Despite this not being the first time, Han still felt intoxicated at the wonderful display of skill before him.
His eyes glowing like a sex deprived man suddenly seeing a naked beauty after years of abstinence.
'If only I had such archers under my command …'.
If he had such warriors, that blasted rebel wouldn't have escaped so far out of his reach. At least, that's what he concluded.
The Yuyan Archers themselves were just as legendary as their precision and skill with the bow. Each and every single one of them boasted a hundred percent mission completion success rate. More than a dozen men, not a single one had failed any task they had ever undertaken.
From hunting rebels, to assassinations, to disrupting enemy forces …. Perfectly done without fail.
Records existed of their retired predecessors destroying five Earth Kingdom strongholds without assistance of any kind within a week during the early years of the war.
These young men showcasing their abilities below were the most elite team in the Fire Nation. So much so that Han was certain that Colonel Shinu would rather sacrifice a small army of soldiers than lose a single one.
Compared to them, June The bounty hunter was simply not up to par. After all, she had a high mission success rate, but it wasn't perfect.
The Yuyan were exactly what Han needed. Of course, he could only think so in his heart without daring to express it.
Because the moment he did, Han was sure that the easygoing Colonel would change his attitude faster than he could say the word Agni.
If these archers were under his command, he wouldn't entertain such a possibility either.
