Chapter 624: Third Incongruity

For the next few days, Jake spent all his time teleporting from one side of B842 to the other to rescue, find, and repatriate the scattered survivors of Lucia and Gerulf's army. He should have been training, preparing for his Fourth Ordeal, but this was a time-sensitive emergency.
