Re: A New Beginning (thetwo)
“A while ago, supposedly a group of Yukto soldiers went AWOL and became bandits. They've been raiding merchant caravans passing into the area... officially, this is a problem that the Yukto army should deal with as they are deserters, but they aren't actually doing anything about it.” Jack paused to lean in closer himself and spoke the next part in a low voice. “Unofficially, I believe those 'bandits' are still on the Imperial payroll. They've been hitting every merchant caravan EXCEPT for those from Yukto and those Yuke merchants have been making a killing from being the only ones bringing in supplies... and the Yukto army is getting a cut of it.”
Jack brought his mug back to his lips again only to look betrayed at it when nothing pour forth. “Anyway, if some enterprising individuals decided to take the initiative to attack the bandits then the Yukto army wouldn't be able to say anything having already declared them criminals. And if some of the gold and supplies disappeared who would be able to prove who took it? The people here would be glad just to hear that the bandits are gone.”
