After a little while, we were finally getting close to the Kingdom of the Mermaid People, which was considered one of the largest kingdoms in the entire world. The kingdom itself occupied roughly one-fourth of the Great Ocean, which, mind you, already covered almost half of the world's surface, meaning that the territory controlled by the Mermaid Kingdom was absolutely massive. In fact, when you looked at it purely in terms of territory, the Mermaid Kingdom was even larger than the Empire itself, which was honestly difficult to imagine until you actually saw how enormous the Great Ocean was.
I had already heard plenty of stories about the Mermaid Kingdom before coming here, but hearing about its size and actually approaching it were two completely different things. From the maps I had studied, the Great Ocean already looked ridiculous enough, and knowing that an entire kingdom occupied such a massive portion of it made me realize just how little of this world I had actually seen.
