The Polante Thief Gang appeared sometime after the Black Gold Brotherhood.
Although one was located on the southwest side of Wushan Ridge and the other on the southeast, the two organizations were very similar in nature and actions—
They attacked the castles of nobles, occupied their territories, and carved out their own domains.
Did Wushan Castle lack the ability to annihilate them?
The answer was no.
In the early days, the Knight Orders of the Wushan Territory, combined with the forces of other nobles, were capable of defeating them. Yet, after only a year or two, they would spring up again like mushrooms after a rain.
After this happened time and again, perhaps Wushan Castle grew weary. Or perhaps it was because Wiggin's repeated failures in command had bred resentment among his subordinates. Over time, the punitive expeditions weakened.
Now, the border had become a game of push-and-pull: you attack one day, I push back the next.
