After walking the mountain path for a whole night, Fatty, Aubree Gould, and Sandy were all disappointed because, throughout the night, nothing happened. Not a single bandit was encountered, nor any mountain thieves or vagrant robbers.
In Emir Burch's words, after more than five thousand years of construction and rule, the entire Empire is peaceful, and its people live happily. Thus, bandits can't be found inland because any emerging bandit groups are immediately suppressed.
Moreover, the process of suppressing bandits is very humane. Not everyone caught is executed, as the Empire makes reasonable arrangements according to different crimes and other demands.
Therefore, bandits are not found inland; they only occasionally appear in distant borderlands or in the depths of the sea.
However, there are very few of them.
