The journey to the Northern Continent was a long one.
Alone and with Kiddo, Legolas could cut the time to less than half a day. With Akela, he could cut the time to a little more than a day but he could not enjoy any of these because he had companions in this journey.
Since apart from him and Christensen, none of the other members in his faction had beasts to ride on, the journey was slow but eventful.
At most, they would arrive in the Northern Continent in 3 days.
Legolas did not entirely oppose this idea as it gave him time to fully understand the new members that made it to his faction.
Having built a reputation with Horny Assassin as an NPC who gave ridiculous missions already, Legolas was free to go unrestrained again.

This was shameless but Legolas had no qualms doing it.
