The ocean was gigantic, practically encircling the world and reaching every continent. Seen from above, this world was like an island, but of gigantic proportions.
The territories of these Dukes were just on the other side of the Dusk Mountains. There were only two ways to reach them. The most viable option recently was to skirt the entire mountain range. Going from the Capital to the territories of the Duke of the South, then entering the part of the southern continent recently conquered by the Queen and Duke's troops, to finally be able to skirt the entire mountain range.
In doing so, you would enter the territories of the Vampire Duke, another of the territories that border the southern continent.
Now, doing that would take too long; it is a route that most merchants take, but it is not viable in this case. Circumnavigating all of that would take a month or more.
