Chapter 312: Ch 312: Fake Bandits
While going toward to the city of Ryukan, Weiss and her group were suddenly found taking a little detour. And the reason for this was quite fascinating.
While they were simply travelling, their group was attacked by a decently large group of bandits. This was not really something uncommon but after defeating the bandits, Weiss discovered something fascinating.
Even during the battle, these people moved way better than a regular man. So if was clear that they were well trained.
It turned out that these people were actually fake bandits. In reality, this bandit group consisted of soldiers from a nearby city and a large mercenary group.
With the massive profit that the city of Ryukan was gaining, it was effecting the nearby cities and were making the rulers of those cities to feel extremely jealous.
So they were coming up with various plans to sabotage the current boom of the city of Ryukan.
And these fake bandits were a part of this exact plan. One of the nearby city lord was trying to make the travelling merchants fearful of visiting the city of Ryukan with this method.
But unfortunately, they had came accross Weiss and her team. So all of them were easily defeated. And by interrogating them, Weiss came to know that there were three bases where these bandits were hiding their loot.
So far, they had already done quite a bit of looting and as they were from the official army of a lord, all the items that they used were also of good quality.
This was the reason why as soon as Weiss and her group members heard about this, they did not think even think twice before making the decision of going after them.
But as these bandits were troublesome and were hiding their treasures in three different location, going to each place one by one was too troublesome and time consuming.
So that was why Weiss made the decision to hit all three of the locations at the same time. So she divided her group into three teams.
The first team consisted of only Weiss and no one else. This was going to be the strongest among the groups even with just a single member.
The second group consisted of all five of the men. The core of this group was none other than Evan with his strength of a peak level knight. Other than him, Toroda was also a valuable asset with his mid level knight’s strength.
And even though the remaining three were not completely powerless, before the previous two, they were basically nothing.
And finally, the last group consisted of the two super sexy ladies of this group, Elise and Sakura. Elise would obviously be the main fighting force of this group and Sakura would be there to gain experience and to grow stronger.
No one really had any objection about this group division. The male members of this group were actually getting along quite well. So this mission was an opportunity for them to increase their bonding even more.
And Elise and Sakura were extremely happy with this developement. After the first night where Elise had helped Sakura in losing her virginity, these two ladies had not really gotten that may opportunities to be with just the two of them. So they were planning to take advantage of this mission to do exactly that.
And as for Weiss, with how incredibly powerful she was, no one was worried about her. And Weiss herself also preferred some alone time of her own every now and then.

So this was how this group got divided.
...
The base of the bandit that Weiss targetting, it was a abandoned fortress. This castle like structure had suffered quite a lot of damage in a war and was abandoned soon afterward. But even with that being the case, this broken fortress was still an excellent space for a bandit hideout.
Raiding this place with a large group would have been a bit troublesome. But with Weiss acting alone, everything was fine.
The security of this place was not really that tough, mainly became this was not a battlefield. So with her extremely powerful perception, she had managed to find a safe route in this castle that little to no bandits ever visited.
So with her ability to isolate her presence and with her immensely trusted fleet footed steps, Weiss was able to infiltrate this fortress without even a single drop of bloodshed.
Weiss did not really hate killing people. But at the same time, she was also not extremely fond of this. So in this place, killing would he troublesome with everyone being close to one another. So first, Weiss had decided to take advantage of the super lax security and investigate this whole area very thoroughly. And after she was done with the investigation, she could think about the fate of the people present in this abandoned fortress.
...
The second group consisting of only men, the bandit hideout that they were visiting was a small village. The fake soldier bandits had secretly taken over this place and had turned it into a base for them. And the men here were going to take it back from the hand of the bandits.
As for the ladies, their target was the smallest base located inside a hidden cave. By interrogating the bandits, they had managed to get a location from them but still, this place was actually quite hard to find. So this was the place where most of the easy to carry but super expensive things were stored.
Not just that but as some of the strongest bosses were staying in that cave, this place also had a demand for a lot of ladies. This was something that Elise and Sakura kept in their mind.
So the ladies were planning to come up with an idea to take advantage of this and find the hidden cave with the help of the bandits themselves.
So what kind of plan did the ladies have in their mind to accomplish this.
