About 200,000 miles northeast of civilization and pretty deep into the Black Lands, that's where Cedric and Team Elric were right now.
The nearest outpost is about 50,000 miles south of this camp; aside from that, everything else was demonic territory. The expedition team can't expect any rescue or reinforcements here because they operated secretly. That's why they have to be careful about each move they make.
The interior of Chrissy's tent wasn't so bad, considering their current location and lack of supplies. It's functional and works pretty well as a shelter.
In there, Chrissy and Erica asked him if he truly wanted to come here, and Cedric confirmed that to them. In the end, they can only accept their decision despite their unwillingness, since once Cedric does something, he doesn't stop until it's done.
