Patrol Squad Bao-Lei-Pha

Patrol Squad Bao-Lei-Pha was a contingent of seven soldiers who were opposed to Korra on Fanrong.

Description
Patrol Squad Bao-Lei-Pha consisted of seven men with wide, conical straw hats and steel gasmasks. Each member wore pleated straw mantles and armor that was also pleated with the exception of heavy metal boots and gauntlets. Patrol Squad Bao-Lei-Pha were armed with long wooden polearms that ended in finely-honed blades.

History
In 150,082 CMT, Patrol Squad Bao-Lei-Pha emerged from well-camouflaged burrows in the surface of Fanrong and ordered Korra and her steed Naga to halt their procession through the land, threatening Korra with death if she refused to comply. In response, Korra drew out a mass of water from a pouch with her Waterbending abilities and formed it into a Water Whip to attack the soldiers, the first lash sending four of the seven flying into the tall grass in the undergrowth. Two more soldiers leaped up and tried to stab Korra, but were tackled broadside by Naga before either could hit their target. Korra then used her momentum to bring the Water Whip crashing down on the leader's face, the force of which destroyed his mask and slammed him into the dirt. Satisfied that her enemies had been defeated, Korra returned the water to the pouch and decided that it would be wise for her and Naga to leave the scene of the crime before anyone who stumbled upon the area could link them both to the soldiers' defeat. Korra had Naga cover her paw prints to make it harder to tell where they originated from and resumed her journey across Fanrong.
