Chapter 387: Good Brother, Lend Me Your Head!

On the southwest side of Rui Valley City, a motley crowd stood in a ragged formation, led by ten soldiers draped in black robes, they moved toward the northeastern district.

These irregularly dressed militiamen were mostly local survivors: among them were scavengers, hunters, and even farmers and herders.

In the Army, such troops composed of occupied area survivors or "non-core population" were commonly called the Retinue Army.

Unlike the well-equipped Army soldiers, they not only wore malnourishment on their faces, resembling skinny sticks, but their equipment was also shabby, even worse than some of the slightly stronger Looters.

Each person was only given a Ripper Rifle and before heading into battle, they would be provided with either fifteen or thirty reserve rounds. Once the bullets ran out, they either had to pick up from fallen comrades or engage in bayonet combat.
