Chapter 252 - Bandit Alliance (1/2)

The meeting place was at the village where the training held. This village was picked because of a particular reason. It was because the village was far too remote to the nearest city or town. Moreover, near the village, there was the one and only bandit alliance in Gaia.

Although there was only one bandit alliance, this bandit alliance was a joint group by the four most prominent bandit groups in the entire Gaia.

At first, the bandit group was operated on their own. They created havoc all over Gaia. From pillaging a village, until extorting the noble.

The royalty and the military began to feel uncomfortable with the bandit group's presence. They announced a purge operation and recruited a lot of players.

With the help of players, the purge started. One by one, the bandit group destroyed. After several months of purging, from more than two hundred bandit groups, there was only less than halves of it left.

Throughout the entire Gaia, there were four most prominent bandit groups. They were Spring Bandit, Summer Bandit, Fall Bandit, and Winter Bandit. These four bandit groups felt disturbed by the kingdom's purge.

Feeling threatened by the condition, these four groups held an important meeting. And, from that meeting, they announced their alliance with these four groups as the leaders.

Before these groups created an alliance, each of the groups already huge on their own. When they joined the coalition, it evidently became bigger.

The kingdom's purge threatened the smaller bandit groups. They wanted to seek shelter for the alliance. However, from the meeting, these four groups already created a rule. If other bandit groups wanted to join their union, they had to become the subordinate of one of the leaders.

The small size bandit groups didn't really care about it. However, the medium size bandit groups ultimately rejected the idea. They didn't want to become someone else subordinate.

However, the purge still continued, and it began to become a threat to the position of the medium size bandit. In the end, some of the bandit groups gave up and agreed with the rule.

When the other bandit groups started to join the alliance, it began to become bigger and bigger. The kingdom could not help but begin to take this matter more seriously.

The kingdom poured out more and more resources to hunt the bandit as well as strengthen their defense in various cities and towns. Unfortunately, because of the limited resources and many places to defend, not all of the locations could be protected completely, such as remote villages.

Although the kingdom still tried their best to give help in defending the place, however, the number was limited. That was why there were still many villages that were raided.

The military turned to think hard how to diffuse this matter when they heard a rumor. The rumor said that the bandit alliance's headquarter was located near the area where the village that become Auron's training destination this time.

The military began to pay attention to the rumor. Several investigations started to take place. The result was that they believed the news was a truth.
