Heishan Ranged Infantry

Black Mountain Hunters

When firing at enemies from a distance, these hunters’ arrows may fall short of their targets, but their real strength lies in the ability to sneak up on unsuspecting prey to dispatch them at close range.

Creeping deep into enemy territory to launch surprise attacks requires no small amount of courage, and these troops are fearless, thinking only of splitting skulls with their fu axes.

However, that same bravery can make them undisciplined and susceptible to the occasional reckless action.
