Bab 256: Bandits?

Shirong found none other than the very bandits they had been looking for since the start. 

'Who would have thought they would make their base so close to the capital.' Shirong thought.

They were mere hours away from the capital city and if any illegal activity was detected by the guards a strict action would be taken. This was the reason why criminals did not dare to do anything out of the capital.

Though once one entered the city, things were different. Crime was not as uncommon in the city itself and certain powers were behind this. Often times leaving the city was an easy way to get a robber to stop his pursuit than going to the guards yourself.

It was a strange situation created over many years and had now reached an equilibrium. But perhaps to take the advantage of this very balance, the bandits had chosen to create their base here.
