Biography[]
During the campaign of Far Cry 4, the Royal Army come Into conflict with the Golden Path, the Kyrati resistance army led by Amita and Sabal and formed by Mohan Ghale. They carry out work for Min, which includes drug production and slavery. The Army in the South is mainly comprised of Kyrati recruits, whilst the Royal Guard in North Kyrat are primarily of Asian descent, not unlike Pagan himself.
Though the army are said to be loyal to Min, according to some of the soldiers' conversations, they are actually willing to join the Golden Path. They are also mentioned to be paid in drugs rather than money. They are trained by Paul De Pleur, an American soldier appointed as one of Kyrat's governors by Min, who occasionally leaves the valley to spend time with his family.
The central gameplay of Far Cry 4 is based around dismantling the Royal Army, which the player does through a variety of side activities, such as hijacking propaganda centers, destroying/stealing cargo trucks, or assassinating lieutenants in the army. The two primary ways of fighting the army are climbing and turning off radios located on the top of old bell towers Min has taken control of, and liberating outposts, where the player must kill all nearby enemies, and/or turn off alarms.
During the Far Cry 4: Valley of the Yetis, a splinter group of the Royal Guard had broken off from the main forces in Kyrat after they and their leader Master Sandesh had pledged to protect the Relic of Yulung from any outsiders that were to enter the secret Valley.
