Yellow Dragons
Elite infantry who cross all terrain types with ease, only to furiously attack enemy infantry with their axes.Enemy infantry fall easily before the Yellow Dragons’ attacks; their fu axes rend flesh with the savagery of a dragon’s fangs, and retaliatory blows bounce off their shields as water from oil.
The Yellow Dragons’ empathy and understanding of the land is such that it offers as little resistance to their movements as air, and they cross all terrain types effortlessly and quickly.
With this combination of mobility and strength, the Yellow Dragons move quickly through the battle, dispatching the foes and allies of chaos.
