Aaron sighed, "Okay, what you said is right. If we leave, they could move the villagers, and that means whatever happens to them would be on us, but we can't move against the bandits like this. We need a proper plan, or if anyone escapes, they would exact revenge on these villages when we leave or join another bandit group".
"All the damage that would happen if anyone escapes, that would certainly be on us, unlike with these villagers here. So, what I propose is, let's find a place from where we can observe these bandits, and if they try to move the villagers, we act. In the meantime, let's try to come up with a plan".
The girls thought for a second before agreeing to his proposal. If they attack in this state without a proper plan, the bandits might kill the prisoners, and their deaths would be on the three; no, that burden would be on the two, as Aaron wanted to observe the bandits before making a move.
Each ways have merits and demerits.
