The letter from Ryo's East-bound team arrived next. They had also skipped a few territories, but they did pass through some territories that the soldiers had ventured into when they were looking for their relatives.
So far, there were two Villages that they skipped because they had been taken over. They got some of the weaker members to sneak in as refugees (someone threw mud at him for realism) to see a place's state before starting negotiations.
One of these was Supreme Village—which they had a map of thanks to Cuppin Ferrol. As for their last stop, it'd be a small village not too far east of Belluga called Mason Village.
It was actually nearer to Khlack than Belluga was, and it was only a matter of which direction Patte and the others chose to take, in which case they chose the former.
Ryo's team's path was first towards the Northeastern portions of the region (relative to Alterra), before heading Southeast, where Mason village was.
