In case you're like me and don't realize the quest is NOT just blowing up tigers, continue on and find the objective.
Very unclear quest. You'll have a hill in front of you. Go left around it, and across the water. Follow the path to your right, towards the south. There will be a fork in the road - right leads across a bridge and up over by the statue. That's the wrong direction.
Continue on the left fork a little bit more until you see a couple tents on your left. Bear left across the grass, south (to the right) of a small hill. The Young Alliance Soldier will be there and you'll get a cut scene, indicating you're good.

Description
MOST of what Riko said is true. We didn't dare pursue Gorrok - the Horde's numbers here are far too few. Our forces can only sustain so many losses, and frankly, we don't know how powerful that witch really is. Let me pick up where the hozen left off...

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Scouting Report: Hostile Natives
I bet I know your first question: "What the ook happened to Sergeant Gorrok?" Don't worry, don't worry. He's totally alive. Not dead or anything. <Riko shuffles uncomfortably.> Well, we THINK he's alive, but he ALSO might be very, very dead. <Riko looks into your eyes for approval.> Fine!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Scouting Report: The Friend of My Enemy
We weren't only looking for Alliance, you know. We were also looking for those snooked-up, tik-flikklin' jinyu! Well, we found 'em all right...
