“Hmm… It looks like a large bamboo stick,” Nightingale commented as she drew closer. “What’s that called?”
“RPG’s…” Roland broke off while curling his lips, “ancestor.”
“R—P—G…” Nightingale repeated the mouthful word strenuously and said, “Such a weird name. Is it a code name or something? In memory of the person who invented this weapon?”
Roland shook his head in amusement and explained, “It has many names and various forms in the Dream World, but this is the most popular one. It’s getting so popular that a religion has formed around it, which is called the RPG Religion.”
“Like the lengendary double swords that saved and destroyed the world?” Nightingale asked, her voice alive with curiosity. “Is it that powerful?”
The double swords that had saved and destroyed the world was a hallow recorded in an epic poem passed down among the ancient witches. There had been an organization prior to the first Battle of Divine Will who had looked for this hallow fervently. Although it was just a distant legend, RPGs and the double swords shared some similarities.
“You can say that about modern RPGs, but not its ancestor,” Roland said. As a type of rocket launcher, modern RPGs definitely contributed a lot to the peace of the world.
“But you can’t just skip RPGs and go directly to modern RPGs. You have to create its ancestor first and slowly work on it, right?” Nightingale asked, with a look of dawning comprehension in her eyes.
“Exactly.” Roland was pleased with her quick response. After staying with Roland for so many years, Nightingale could finally keep up with him. Roland complimented, “You grasp the nature of the problem quite fast.”
“Of course. I do improve, don’t you think so?” Nightingale thrust a piece of dried fish with an air of triumph and said, “Sometimes you’ll talk about terms like the Black Ribbon and Madames. Aren’t they the evolved forms of ‘glider’ and ‘concrete ship’? I’ve actually learned a lot from you over the past few years.”
“Ahem…” Roland coughed. “Forget about them.”
Roland noticed that both the battle at Northbound Slope and the night attack at Tower Station No. 1 had the same problem, that was, regular soldiers were too weak to confront the Senior Demons. According to the information collected by the Union, there were various types of Senior Demons with different abilities. Those abilities were pretty random with no specific pattern. However, it appeared all the Senior Demons could shield themselves from external harm with their magic power.
Perhaps, this universal shielding ability was just a coincidence, or simply a result of the natural evolution after decades of fighting and upgrading. Demons who did not possess such a shielding ability were naturally obliterated over the course of time. Nevertheless, Roland would still need to make a plan based on the worst scenario.
The demons’ shielding ability was very similar to Shavi’s. However, it could only protect the demons from physical injuries and it had a limit. If the demons stood right in front of a shooting unit and were shot multiple times, they would die in a few seconds.
Nevertheless, the demons would never let the soldiers to shoot them unscrupulously in a real battle.
Suppose the infantry of the First Army attacked a Senior Demon, the latter would immediately hide or fight back. In neither case would the First Army gain advantages.
The God’s Punishment Witches were designed to repel the Senior Demons, since they were not only as powerful as Extraordinaries but could also block attacks. Unfortunately, the Senior Demons appeared to have lost their superior status over the past hundred years and participated in battles more often. If that was the case, the 300 God’s Punishment Witches would probably not be enough to kill all the Senior Demons.
