Ning listened to the information and thought that made sense. Khrom's men coming to ask for protection money from villagers that needed no protection was clearly a lie.
'These bastards, I should go kill them all,' Ning thought. He was tempted to do that but somehow controlled himself. 'No, I can't do that,' he thought.
It wasn't because the bandits were innocent or didn't deserve to die. He was pretty sure that the system would allow him to kill whoever he wanted as long as they were bandits.
However, getting rid of Khrom didn't fix the main problem that was the underlying cause of the bandits appearing in the first place. It was because the protection system in this area was weak.
The city guards were merely personal guards of the noble Canon who weren't comparable to actual trained soldiers. It was unlikely they were ever going to be strong enough to deter the bandits at all.
