Endless Tomorrow Battle Group

About
The Endless Tomorrow Battle Group (かぎりない明日戦闘団, kagirinai ashita sentō-dan) was a group of bandits that operated in and around Leazas Castle Town during the late GI Era.

A fairly standard bandit organization, the Endless Tomorrow Battle Group engaged in a wide variety of illegal activities, including theft, murder and kidnapping. The group was notable for having a very large number of members, allowing it to have a far reach across Leazas and causing it to develop a great deal of infamy as a result. In particular, Reichardt, the group's leader, gained a reputation of being a dangerous lecher who would freely abduct any beautiful woman that caught his attention in order to sexually harass them for hours on end.

Along with its high numbers, the Endless Tomorrow Battle Group was noted to possess an above-average level of strength, with its highest-ranking members in particular being noted to be quite strong. This strength caused both the Leazas City Garrison and many adventurers to fail utterly when comissioned to exterminate it.

As a result of its high strength and dangerous activites, the Endless Tomorrow Battle Group was greatly feared by the inhabitants of Leazas Castle Town, who were generally unused to being menaced by outside threats. This fear was taken advantage of by Princess Lia Parapara Leazas, who used the group's activities as a cover for her own personal hobby of kidnapping and torturing beautiful girls, making it an unwitting accomplice to her sadism.

The Endless Tomorrow Battle Group's base was located in a large manmade cave along the outskirts of Leazas Castle Town. Protected by a magical seal that would only allow outside entry if a person sneazed, the cave provided a relatively discreet area for the group that made it rather difficult to locate. Coincidentally, this cave also housed British, the former leader of the Legendary Five, who had become trapped in concrete thousands of years before. Unaware of British's identity, the thieves regularly harassed him for their personal amusement, thinking of him as little more than a fixture of the cave.

During the events of Rance 01, the Endless Tomorrow Battle Group kidnapped Pulptenks Flanders, the daughter of Bobza Flanders, the owner of a popular bar in Leazas Castle Town. Panicked by his daughter's disappearance, Bobza hired several adventurers to find and rescue Pulptenks from the group's clutches. One such adventurer, the warrior Rance, accepted the request under the mistaken suspicion that the group had also kidnapped Hikari Mi Blanc, the missing daughter of a Leazas noble family that he had been hired to find. Rance was eventually able to track down the location of the group's hideout and kill Reichardt, causing it to disband.

Following the group's disbandment, several former members of the Endless Tomorrow Battle Group remained active, with some forming their own smaller organizations, others offering their services to other criminals as hired thugs, and others abandoning their lives as criminals altogether in favor of other pursuits. Despite this, without Reichardt's leadership, none of them were unable to amass the level of influence that they once had, making them a much smaller and more easily dealt with threat.
