"Why are we heading back to the Branch?"
"Because our territory is currently there. It's been stagnant there before I was even born."
"...What?"
The land area of the Branch was colossal-- almost two whole countries that were elongated and put up in a line. He had not yet explored its entirety, but he explored enough to know that there wasn't any single area there that was owned by one single race.
Also, there was the fact that the race of the forest giants was also the minority in the Branch's population; the number of forest giants that have dined in Charlotte's Tavern since Van took care of it could be counted in two hands.
Ironically, the most he had seen them together was... when he massacred the members of the Sleipnir that were waiting for the Branch. But the King did mention that they were a nomadic race, so it somewhat makes sense that they would be staying in the Branch, where they could visit the other realms as much as possible.
