Queen Maria and the rest of the people with her had now walked several miles without stopping, and it was evening, barely a few hours before nightfall.
It had been a long day; the people were exhausted, and every harder step felt like a burden. They hadn't brought any animals with them, so everyone moved on foot. Whenever their tiredness seemed to overwhelm them, they would remember what they had gone through the previous day, and they wouldn't think twice about moving on for a second.
It had been a long and arduous journey, and the environmental conditions of the vast wilderness didn't help with that.
Luckily for them, they were not too far off, as they could see the clear hints of the Kaizoku Village from a long way off. That sight was the only motivation they needed to keep going, as they did not want to rest another night in the cursed wastelands.
