These elite mercenary units are part of the Braca-Hloth. They are also known as the Turtle Platoon. The unit consists of twenty heavily armored giff, each wielding a large shield that interlocks with those of their comrades. In the Turtle Formation, this unit becomes practically invincible to standard ranged attacks. A Sôldanguk unit equipped with Elem-Guard armor would be one of the most formidable groups on the battlefield. These units are often accompanied by musketeers, creating a potent combined-arms force capable of excelling in both close and long-range engagements. The Sôldanguk provide exceptional protection and typically serve as the vanguard and shock troops of armies.
