ANNIHILATION SUCCESSFULL, YEAY!!

Isaac's point of view*

Hoaaammm… I opened my mouth wide because I was sleepy. Tch, this must be because lately often stay up late. Hi, if Albert Nii-san finds out, I will be reprimanded again.

This morning, I was with my two sweet angels, ehem, I mean these twin brothers and several soldiers were on standby at the guard post, which was built two days ago. This is part of the strategy devised by Albert Nii-san. Soldiers built the guard post that I occupied in a location that was once the activity of bandits based on the testimonies of the victims.

There were about 10 outposts built along the road to the Randall area. We were placed at the post closest to the gate. Of course. My twin sister and I were the youngest participants in this extermination. So if there is something urgent we can immediately run to Romeon city.

Father prepared approximately 300 troops. Includes 30 people who fill each post. Plus dozens of professional adventurers who are used to fighting bandits. The adventurers were also reinforced by 200 soldiers patrolling the highway leading to Randall's territory. And lastly, 1000 Marquis soldiers were ready to be deployed if anything happened.

It may seem redundant. But what are you going to do? Father did not have clear information about the bandits. Whether it's their quantity and quality, what was clear according to the adventurers who had escorted merchant caravans and nobles, was that at least their strength could rival those of Grade two adventurers. Therefore Father and brother Albert decided to go all out in eradicating them.

The suppression operation would be carried out in 4 days, but with the death of Viscount Zen in the Sinovac area, the alleged perpetrators were the same bandit group as the bandits operating in this area, Albert's father and brother decided to

"hey Is-chan, do you think today's mission will be successful?" Misha asked me. There was a hint of doubt in his tone. Sasha Nee-san also confirmed Misha nee-san's thoughts.

"That's right. I honestly doubt that the bandits will be overcome. Various attempts have been made by father to fight them but to no avail. Isn't there no guarantee that this strategy will work?" Sasha nee was just as worried as Misha nee.

"Then, what kind of strategy is suitable to use against them?" I purposely asked them.

"Perhaps the strategy suggested by Geitz will be more effective. possible?" hearing the answer from Sasha nee-san I shook my head.

"Bringing a large number of troops into the forest without certainty and careful calculation will only bring disaster to them. We don't have a definite clue where their base is. If we went into the forest, they might be dealing with mighty monsters instead of dealing with bandits.

The bandits weren't so stupid as to build a base deep in the forest. After all, this is not their Medan. They do not have accurate information about the forest of this region. After all, the forest of Randall territory is one of the 3 most dangerous forests in the kingdom. The slightest misstep, they would be preyed upon by the monsters.

Then the most reasonable possibility was that they would build a base on the outskirts of the forest. Well, even though so far there has been no trace of their base, at least we have the conclusion that they move around for their operations.".

Sasha, who heard my explanation, then asked again, "Then how can they transport their loot? where can they put their booty?"

"Well so far it's been quite confusing how they lift and place their loot. but the plausible possibility is that they have some sort of spatial bag."

"Eh, that's impossible!! The spatial bag was an extremely rare artifact! Even the kingdom classifies it as a royal treasure. How could a bunch of trash bandits get hold of such a precious thing?!" uh, Misha Nee-san, who is usually quite shy and quiet, shouted! I was surprised. But she looks cute!!

"Don't worry, Nee-san. This is just an estimate. But if it's serious…." I was silent for a moment. Of course, I'm just faking this. I already know the extent of the involvement of Duke Conrad's faction in supporting these bandits. Including giving them state property. You were stupid!

"Well don't think about it. Let's entrust this to Father and Albert Nii-san. Maybe today won't be finished. It could be tomorrow or the day after."

I decided to end my explanation. Well, now, Albert Nii-san, I've tried to do my job to the best of my ability. The rest I entrust to you.

Yeah, I finally spent the whole day with my two sisters at the guard post.

3 Days after the Crackdown, Operation Started.

"Hey, what should we do now?! Hasn't the next order come out yet. How long are we going to keep hanging around like rats being chased by a cat?!" One member of the group shouted. Of course, he protested because he didn't have to hide so far all this time.

"Calm down you useless brain-muscle bitch! You think devising a strategy is easy?!" while his partner replied.

They had been hiding like this for three days. The supervision carried out by the Marquis was also getting stricter. Merchant caravans and other groups were grateful that they no longer had to worry about confiscating their goods.

This became a problem for the bandits because their job was to rob the merchants and disrupt the path to Randall's territory. This tight guard, unexpectedly, severely restricted their actions.

They were forced to build a camp some distance into the forest. They were lucky not to meet any monsters. But that's it. Their food supply is running low. This is because they often splurge. After all, they think their supplies are surplus. But in fact, not.

They were, in fact, soldiers who were ordered to become a bandit group. Their number is 60 people. Of course, the food supply prepared should be sufficient for their number. But their group leaders eat the food for themselves instead.

The subordinates must be jealous. At first, they didn't care because they could still loot food and liquor from the passing merchants. But a few months after they took action, the luggage of the merchants containing food became scarce for some reason. Most of what traders brought was valuable, such as magic tools, clothes, and other luxury items. But somehow, they can't eat it.

In the end, a split arose between them. There is a gulf of distrust between superiors and subordinates. Their superiors thought their soldiers were not doing well, while they thought their leaders were incompetent.

And of course, this was already known to Issac because he was the one who planned all of this. he and his men skillfully disguised the merchant caravans transporting food as if they were carrying something completely worthless. Meanwhile, they polished the ordinary caravans into caravans as if they were carrying valuables.

The chaos in the ranks of the bogus bandits was made clearer when some of them dared to attack the group of nobles. The leaders forbade them to touch the nobles. But it was ignored by their soldiers. Finally, some of his subordinates attacked the noble entourage. Luckily none of the nobles were killed at most, just a wound.

Their only chance at killing nobles was when that group of bandits targeted Viscount Zen. This is because they got a special order to finish him off.

Yes, of course, Duke Conrad, their master, didn't ask them to kill Viscount Zen at all. Again, it was Isaac's cunning. Isaac and his men understood that contact had occurred between the bandits and Conrad's spies in Randall's territory. Because, after all, they are one team.

Duke Conrad usually gave instructions by a letter he sent to Randall's territory in secret. When the letter reached Randall's territory, Conrad's spies immediately copied the message from their master and sent the order via dove. Of course, Issac took advantage of the momentum to carry out disinformation.

Issac secretly hunted the birds in charge of delivering the letter. Then changed the contents of the letter, gave other instructions, and sent the letter to the bandits using the same bird.

So all this time, the activities of the bandits and their robberies could be monitored by Isaac. one could even say it was the bandits that revolved in the palm of his hand.

The pinnacle of Isaac's disinformation operation was the assassination of Viscount Zen. in the letter, he changed the contents of it said that the bandits should accompany Viscount Zen's entourage from the Sinovac territory to the Randall territory in adventurer outfits.

But of course, the content was changed. Issac ordered them to kill Viscount Zen, who was going to Randall's territory. And Sinovac is the perfect stage for it.

Finally, Issac finished off all of Conrad's henchmen in Randall's territory last night. As a result, he didn't get any information in the Randall territory and relied on the information from his subordinates in the Zen and Sinovac territories.

Let's return to the condition of the bandits. Right now, they were all debating which method they would take. Should I hold on or break out? In the end, breaking through was the path they chose. And it is their choice that will end themselves.

***

Finally!! Thankfully the bandit suppression operation went smoothly after four days of siege. Unexpectedly, it turns out that they are the ones who come out of their hiding place. Luckily the soldiers swiftly hunted and fought them. The bandits were indeed strong. But managed to be finished off by the senior soldiers belonging to the father.

In the end, we left one of them for interrogation. But it's a shame he killed himself. In the end, father and Albert Nii-san got no clue at all about the bandits. However, the team sent from the capital stated that Sinovac was the one who conspired with the bandits to kill Viscount Zen.

In the end, Baron Sinovac was executed, and his family's peerage was revoked. Besides that, their family was exiled to the North of the Heinz kingdom.

Well, I could finish them off in one fell swoop. But I wanted to throw dirt in Duke Conrad's face and at the same time remind him that his plans to destroy my father's reputation and disintegrate my family will never work.

Well, I want to live in peace without getting involved in conflicts with nobles or other political things. But I don't think I can. Who knows. Once again, I hope that everything goes smoothly and well.
