The Kred lost their desire to fight when they saw the spaceships descending toward the zone devoid of trees. Some of them took a few steps backs in fear, but the vehicles reached their destination in mere seconds.
The sudden acceleration of the spaceships left almost everyone on the scene speechless. Khan had struggled to follow their movements through the sky. They had been nothing more than faint dots hidden among the rain before, but they had transformed into huge figures that hovered above the cave just one instant later.
The spaceships were different from the troop carriers. They had an oval shape and didn't feature wings or tails. Three large rotating engines on their sides and back controlled their altitude and speed, but they stopped releasing noises once they stopped moving.
