Chapter 272 - A Return to Persis

The journey from the stone-faced village of Hoshi to the tiny remote mountain hamlet of Persis. The improved route is still a dirt road, but at three carriages wide, it is still a rough trek. They are riding their Giant Griffins to the hamlet. The team needs to pull its weight in making the region safer. SUNken Reef can't easily solve the problem of the bandits and pirates. But if they can at least kill some along the way. The NPCs are still fighting out which of the bandit factions will become the region's primary antagonist. The mighty procession is intimidating. At its head is Ninth Immortal riding on her winged lion. Pets can act as mounts but give none of the mount-related travel bonuses. Following her in two lines is her team on Giant Griffins.
