It might not sound that complicated, but in a place this close to the Core Area, the gaps between sections of the Swamp were often quite narrow.
There were plenty of paths a person could take on foot, but passages wide enough for a horse-drawn carriage were rare.
The Route 11 they were following had been charted and designed after extensive surveying, but it was still a difficult, winding path.
The worst-case scenario would be finding no such passable roads nearby. That would be a real disaster.
They would have no choice but to turn back and try to find a detour from a much earlier point.
Who knew how much time they would waste scouting for a new path, with no guarantee of success.
What was worse, they were perilously close to the Core Area of the Blackwater Swamp. Every moment they lingered increased the probability of encountering a powerful Demon.
"Sigh…"
