They were actually hired by the Slontans for defense against the God Learners. As for the distance, the Lopers are capable of teleportating and so I presume the Loper people had some form of long distance teleportation to move armies around.
Since the Lopers are not reported in Dawn or Imperial Age Peloria, I assume this power was limited to coastal regions - although this means that the Lopers were known to the Kingdom of Night, which is not attested to in published material.
I think the God Learners managed to discover (with the aid of another Loper enemy) how to reverse the loper magics to eradicate all Lopers everywhere.
