Chapter 448: Rangers and Holy Bombs

Chapter 442 – Rangers and Holy Bombs
After the nomadic cavalry was integrated into the Ranger Regiment, it was still responsible for the security of the border, but compared to the previous pretending to be a nomadic tribe, now they changed into neat and close-fitting uniforms, wearing helmets and light armor, the weapons retained the machete, but the main equipment was replaced with semi-automatic rifles, revolver pistols and long-handled grenades, in addition to carrying a machine gun and detachable mortars, the main focus is on mobility.

Because of the popularity of guns and cannons, the rangers who don’t need to charge into battle don’t have to maintain a large number to maintain combat power, except for camps fixed in one location, most of them move in units of 100, so often a regiment can guard a large area, they are also the guardians of the territory’s borders, as a mobile wall, it’s more reliable than trenches and barbed wires.

Right now a brigade of rangers is patrolling a hundred miles away from Mara City, and they are carrying sufficient supplies on both horses, during which they only need to send someone back to the camp to report, and bring back some supplies along the way, so that they can patrol for a long period of time in the wilderness.

Because their location is far away from the main trade routes with Mara City as the transit point, it is hard to see outsiders on weekdays, except for the wild beasts wandering in the wilderness and the lost travelers, not much of this is a normal daily life for the nomadic rangers, and they will not feel lonely and anxious because of this.

Weekday patrols, if they really can’t be bothered, they can go to the nearby secret areas to play, but today they are not so leisurely, because the scouting horse found some suspicious traces, apparently there are rats from this direction into the territory.

After sending two people back to the camp to report this matter, this brigade of rangers started their pursuit journey, but from the traces left behind by the other party, although the number of people was small, the situation was not optimistic.

Everyone in the territory was a follower of the Holy Temple, and when holding the Holy Emblem they were able to more or less enhance their perception of and resistance to evil, and right now they were feeling a little bit bad as they smelled the faint odor of sulfur where the other party had stopped.

According to the pamphlet handed down from above, this generally often represented something to do with demons.

“There’s a possibility that we’ll encounter demonic warlocks along with demonic creatures next, everyone be careful, don’t approach easily and avoid melee combat, meanwhile change your bullets to sacred bullets, it’s time to use them.” The ranger’s brigadier made the group stop, then said cautiously.

Everyone had gone through targeted training and knew what kind of opponents they would face next, so no one dared to be careless, first withdrawing the bullets in the chamber of their guns and then opening the special ammo pouches at their waist.

The ammo pouch was imprinted with the pattern of the Holy Emblem, and the bullets made of silver alloy inside were coated with holy oil and carried a divine luster, just like the rifle that also carried the pattern of the Holy Emblem, and the soldiers who held it would regularly pray to it in order to enhance the damage against the evil enemies.

Since all the soldiers were devout believers, along with the group effect, this method was real and effective, and thus when loaded with the holy bullets, the killing of evil attribute enemies far exceeded that of normal ammunition.

It’s just that this kind of ammunition not only needs to consume silver, but also needs to be enshrined in the sanctuary for seven days after it’s made, so that faith and holy light can penetrate into it, so the production is not high, and only a few soldiers will be equipped with it.

However, as the sentinels of the border and the moving walls, the Rangers are one of the few regiments that are fully equipped with Holy Ammunition, and this is what they are most proud of.

After loading, the first captain had his men spread out in small groups, forming a seemingly loose but actually extremely deadly encirclement given the speed of the cavalry, and went forward to round up any evil enemies that dared to invade the territory.

Less than half a day’s journey away from the Ranger brigade, the group led by Bailey and Johnny were in a desperate rush.

Both of them are senior members of the Demon’s Head, but the internal structure of the Demon’s Head is very loose, naturally there is nothing to say when you meet the top brass, if you are captured, naturally you will do whatever you are told to do, don’t ever complain, otherwise the chance of accidents is too high.

But not encountered on the quite free, want to do what you do, no one tube no one asked.

So do not like the constraints of the two ran to the north to make a living, but also had a long time of free life.

At first, this is a demon warlock necromancer’s paradise, but unfortunately, first encountered the northern honor alliance’s blow, followed by the rise of the sacred shield, resulting in their days are getting more and more difficult, originally intended to be peaceful for a period of time, can be sent to the door to a big job. Although very dangerous, but the other party gave too much, really can not be refused, so the two rely on the familiarity of the Northlands, with a group of people quietly bypassed the city of Mara, trying to detour to the North City.

Unfortunately, they still underestimated those rangers, even though there were specialized thieves in the team who were responsible for covering up the traces, they didn’t hide it from the other side for long.

“Damn it, we’re being watched!” The dark-skinned Bailey said with an ugly face, although they also rode horses, but if they wanted to escape the tracking of the rangers in the Northlands, they were not so capable, that’s why they chose to take a detour and try to avoid being discovered, but they didn’t expect to only buy less than a day’s worth of time.

“It’s still two days away from North City, we won’t last until then.” Johnny wasn’t as dark as Bailey, but the exposed skin was tattooed with evil runes, and said with a tight frown at this moment.

Their current position was very awkward, because in order to avoid being discovered, they chose a route that was as far away from the gathering place as possible, which led to the fact that when they were discovered, they couldn’t even make a live blood sacrifice to summon a demon, because they couldn’t find anyone.

“We have to finish them off, otherwise no one will survive once they are surrounded by the army.” Bailey said this not only to Johnny, but also to the group of accomplices he had gathered.

In addition to Bailey and Johnny, there were eight other people, all of whom were powerful demons, and if they could work together, they might not have no chance of winning.

The so-called demons are humans who can still recover their human form and maintain their sanity after serving demon eggs, so they have the power of demons and the wisdom of humans, although their power is not as good as demons and their wisdom is just like that, but at least they are not as easy to lose control of the demons, and they can also be guarded for a long time, and do not need blood sacrifice.

The most important thing is that demons are naturally subject to demon warlocks, so they are the favorite guards of demon warlocks.

However, it is not easy to cultivate a Demon Warrior, the failure rate is very high, the Demon Head casts a large number of Demon Eggs in the Northland just to select the right Demon.

Hearing Bailey’s words, several Demons looked at each other and nodded silently, but still offered to get their payment in advance.

Bailey discussed with Johnny and agreed, handing them the specially prepared Demon Eggs.

The power of the devils increased quickly, but it was difficult to break the peace, it could be said that success was also a demon and failure was also a demon, as long as the demon bloodline in their body could not be improved, their strength remained intact.

And if they want to raise their demon bloodline, they have to swallow the demon eggs made of the same demon’s flesh and blood, which is undoubtedly difficult to get rid of the control of the demon warlocks.

Otherwise, who didn’t know the power of the Northern Glory Alliance and had enough to eat before they came to provoke the other side.

In fact, not only a few demons think like this, Bailey and Johnny is also the same, if not for the interests of people, who dares to easily come here, do not they know how many peers died here, is not greed to blame.
