章 158: Kick

The village on the lake's shores wasn't far away from [The Pure Trees], but it wasn't close either. The Niqols had tasked the recruits to travel there and take care of the mutated creatures, but the latter would need at least two and a half hours of flight to reach their destination. Khan would remain alone for more than one hour, and that time was enough to inspect most of the small houses in the area.

Kelly and the others didn't lie to themselves when the order from the Niqols arrived. They had received many details about the situation since the aliens could use the menus inside their habitation to convey them. They set off knowing that their job was to take care of the mutated creatures that the Niqols couldn't muster the courage to attack, but they didn't object nor complain.

The recruits didn't need maps or cubes. Their Aduns received the details about their destination from the Niqols' eagles, so they could depart right away.
