Their destination, the desert, was still quite far away. There were also no Level 2 towns and above in the desert area, which made Metteo Town one of the closest Level 2 towns in the desert, and it was still some distance away.
This region was simply a lot less populated than the central and northern regions, so this kind of set-up was understandable.
At the same time, because there were few territories, the innovations and the missions here were limited as well, making the development of territories here particularly slow.
It was not a virtuous cycle.
Metteo Town was a few thousand kilometers away from this area, which was still around two days by cart, let alone on foot. However, the beast carts from Acero had all escaped or died during the previous wars, so they didn't have anything to spare.
Let alone Serao, even Wilem and Anna felt embarrassed by how little they could do for Althea and Garan.
