"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.

"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!
"POO!!!" the horn in the Southern Commanding Wing was blown, and this means a full-scale attack is going to be launched from the Southern side! Weapons like Ballistas are deployed, General Yang's private force, under the leadership of four of the Nine Spears of Yangs!
"Yang Nan, Come!" Zhang Tian Lei gives his force an order. But it was not to attack, but retreat! As a general himself, Zhang Tian Lei charged into the battle against the general himself!
"Southern Spear!"
"Eastern Fist!"
"BAM!" the first exchange of the generals from both side stunned those battlefields below them. At least three zones for Rank 7 Captains are completely crushed from their first exchange.
"Yang Nan! Looks like your strength is better than ten years ago!"
"Your's either! Until now my hand still feel numb from that damn lightning bolt!"
The two exchanged a few sentences as they channeled their strength once more. When both sides are prepared, their next attack arrived.
"Scarlet Phoenix Spear!"
"Azure Dragon Fist!"
This time, their exchange sent both general backs to their own Commanding Wing.
The after effect from the exchange did not spread like the other expected but at the same time, both general spit a mouthful of blood!
"STRONG!" they praised each other for the challenging battle. But when it was taken into comparison, General Yang Nan is taking the lead.
And the reason is because General Yang possessed no bloodline strength at all! The battle between one with bloodline and one without results in a leading for the latter!
"YANG NAN!"
"YANG NAN!"
"YANG NAN!"
"WOWOWOWOWO!!!" the soldiers belonged to the southern read the name of their general loudly.
In this exchange itself, the Eastern attackers lost their momentum and failed to take the lead to cause severe destruction. Worst of all, the one that changed the flow of this battle is not somebody from the Yang, but from their own Zhang!
"..." a palm raised by General Yang Nan. This action alone caused the entire battlefield to turn quiet.
"Zhang Tian Lei. Any words?" General Yang Nan questioned.
"The Eastern admit defeat, with one further demand is made." Zhang Tian Lei replied.
"What?" he asked.
"I want this kid to come to the Eastern Wing. He's a Zhang." his request is simple, but the moment his sentence end, the entire Southern Forces started to whisper.
"A Zhang fought with another Zhang."
"The southern Zhang overcome the military might of the eastern Zhang."
"Zhang Wu Ji belonged to the Zhang? That means he's one of the royal family members!"
"Does this means his action is a form of betrayal?"
Speculation rise but General Yang Nan's next word stunned everyone else.
"How about the Family of Zhangs come to our Southern Wing? I can take the time to introduce you to my son-in-law and his brother at the same time," General Yang replied.
"Fine! We'll come and attend the banquet." Zhang Tian Lei agreed.
"Eastern Soldiers! We may have lost the battle, but this doesn't mean we're lost completely! Today, we'll retreat, and let us met General Yang again on this battlefield. That time, we'll take this Fortress as the payment!"Zhang Tian Lei shouts.
"Southern Soldiers! Today, we won. And if the Eastern dare to comes again, we'll still win the battle!" General Yang shouts.
"Retreats!" both side called off to their battle, with the soldiers claiming their fruit of war. What was unexpected to them is that Zhang Wu Ji is no longer a 2nd Rank Platoon Commander, but a 3rd Rank Captain.
This title alone is the position of a 7th Rank Captain Post, which already enough to make people proud.
At the same night, Zhang Wu Ji received both friendly and hated comments.
Especially when the Eastern Imperial Kingdom's Zhang Family arrives, the situation is tense than ever.
"Welcome to the banquet, General Zhang." General Yang Nan steps forward and greets his rival.
"Yang Nan, you know the reason I'm here. Bring that kid out." Zhang Tian Lei replied.
"Impatient as ever."
"Wu Chou, come here and pay your respect to this general." General Yang Nan summoned his Son-In-Law first, based on the differences of seniority.
"Wu Chou greets General. Wu Ji, come here and pay your respects too," Zhang Wu Chou then called his younger brother out.
"Wu Ji greets General." Zhang Wu Ji said. But when he bowed before the General, their Family Jade and the Golden Nameplate resonated.
"You two brats! You're actually from our Royal Zhang Family!" Zhang Tian Lei speaks. But that simple sentence caused the jaw of everyone present to drop.
Doesn't this mean only a Zhang can defeat a Zhang? This means that General Yang Nan is not going to change the result of his defeat if there's no Zhangs in his troops?

[Author's Note]
Hohoho, their hell is here. What do you think Zhang Tian Lei will do to the brothers? I'm sure Zhang Wu Chou is cursing his brother in his heart now for messing with their head family. If he actually knows that fact before this.
