Bab 54: Being a Part of the Scout Team

Kael didn't really cause any trouble. He took the position he was told. He started to make a circle on the route he was told, making sure that he didn't fall behind the main group that was moving forward.

A few times, at first, he realized that he had made a mistake, that he was lagging behind the group, and corrected himself. A few times, he had to be corrected by one of the men who was constantly watching him.

But with every mistake he made, he got more into the role. He adapted quite quickly.

But he was still not happy. He was far from happy, in fact.

Because he had not encountered a single creature or wild animal for two hours... Not a single one!

'Do the other scouts move faster than me and clean everything or am I just unlucky...'

He couldn't be sure. But... frankly, he gave the second possibility more chance. That he was unlucky.

And, with that, another hour passed... Another hour without encountering a single living being.
