Chapter 312 - Bandits Hideout (1) (1/2)

Auron frowned as well as Semial and Remus. This news was very shocking to them. However, they tried to compose themselves. After all, everything was still a rumor.

Auron thought for a minute, ”Maybe, there is a link between the military's suspicion with the rumor about Trito involvement with the bandit group.”

”No... No... No... That is too far. Right now, I should prove the rumor first. Even though there is no link with the possible rebellion, but it was enough to punish Trito.”

Auron looked at Semial and Remus and said, ”Let's go and check the places.”

Inside the piece of paper, there was also information about the possible hideout of the bandit. This hideout information was actually not a secret. You could pick a native a.d.u.l.t here and ask about this matter easily.

There were several places in the piece of paper. Actually, it was just a deduction from the bandit's operational behavior.

Actually, the rumor about Trito's involvement with the bandit group started from this matter. It was because the bandit group appeared so suddenly. It was like they came from nothing and appeared at their places.

With the sudden bandit appearance, the town's villager began to feel insecure. When the insecurity level was climbing, Trito started to act. He commanded the town's guards to eradicate the bandit.

From that expedition, the town's guards had brought out several corpses and showed it to the villagers. They claimed that the bandits had been killed. The villagers cheered up.

However, two days later, the bandit group appeared once more. The villagers started to feel insecure once again. Then, Trito stated that a new bandit group had appeared and started another expedition to clear the bandit.

These incidents repeated for more than three times. At the fourth incident, a villager braved himself and reported it to the military's branch at the nearby town.

The military acted swiftly, the next day, the military had sent a group of soldiers to help the town. Unfortunately, after three days of patrolling the area and searching the places, there was no sign of any bandits at all.

This sudden disappearance was really weird. Moreover, the soldiers had tried to disguise themselves as a traveling merchant, but it was futile. What made this more unbelievable was after the soldiers were pulled back, the bandit started to appear once more.

From that point, the rumor about Trito's involvement in the bandit group appeared. However, none of them dared to accuse someone without any proof. Moreover, their suspect had a higher status level than them.

The military also didn't want to let this situation. That was why they sent the military's intelligence division to find the proof. Hence, Auron was assigned to this mission.

10 places were stated in the piece of paper. Auron, Semial, and Remus started to visit each of the locations.
