Everyone walked in silence for the first few miles. Jacob and Maria walked next to both Lidia and Slimo in case they needed a break. Sarah was the first one to speak up and ask a question to Slimo, who was pulling the cart she was riding in.
"What information are we looking for?"
"We need to find more information regarding these cultists. There's something weird going on with them and I have a feeling both empires are involved in some way."
Jacob looked over at Slimo, raising an eyebrow.
"Empires? As in more than one?"
"Yah. The Paria Empire isn't the only one existing on this continent. There's another one to the west of here. The Monlo Empire."
Jacob's heart dropped slightly.
"So... the people who attacked Iron Kingdom-"
"Yup. Most likely from them. There used to be a third empire to the north, but it was destroyed in conflicts from both Paria and Monlo. To this day, they still both argue over who holds the right to the fertile lands."
