The Moon Knight

Chapter 6: Escort Mission

Today, Lahar is on a mission to escort shipments of goods between merchants. Currently, he was carrying out that mission that he had obtained from the guild, along with his 3 other comrades.

The first one was Fred. His full name is Genm Fred. He was 20 years old and his strength was the earth element. Just like Lahar, Fred also used a sword other than the strength of his earth element. His height is about 176 cm. Her hair was bright orange and short. His eyes were blue, and his skin was white. The body is medium, not fat and not thin.

The second partner is Ocra. His full name is Coro Ocra. He was 18 years old and his strength was the same fire element as Lahar. In addition to using the fire element, Ocra is also seen always carrying an arrow that is always attached to his back. Her hair was long, and it was pitch-black just like lava. His eyes are red and his body looks relatively thin for a person who is about 181 cm tall.

The last companion to take part in this mission was Rin. His full name is Watanabe Rin. Rin is the only woman on the mission this time. Its power is the element of water. So far, Rin has only used the water element as her main force. He did not appear to be using any weapons. Rin's age is almost the same as Lahar, but older by about 1 year. His age is 16 years. Her hair was long and red. His height is about 163 cm. Meanwhile, his eyes were black.

Meanwhile the lava itself has a height of about 168 cm and of course will still continue to grow along with the increase in age. Her hair is black. His eyes are also black. Lahar itself has a fairly sturdy body shape. The body is also filled not too fat and not too thin.

The trip they will take will take about 1 full day. Currently, they had only gone through a quarter of the journey and were currently resting to replenish the workers and horses tasked with carrying the vast amount of merchandise.

By the way this was the first time Lahar had gotten a mission to escort a shipment. Since today's freight forwarding is also an inter-city delivery, this is the first time that lava has left the city. For 15 years he lived in this world, he was always in the city of Hert, where he was born and raised.

"Oi new kid, by the way this is your first mission escorting a merchandise huh?" Fred Genm.

"Yes senior Genm, right" Lahar replied politely. Lahar always called others by their first name because Lahar felt he could not get along with anyone. Therefore, he always called them by their first name. In addition, calling others by first name is also a formal and polite condition.

"Hahaha call me that, don't be so stiff, just call me Fred" Genm Fred said.

"Sorry senior, but I am indeed more comfortable calling others by their first name. That is also my habit" Lahar replied.

"Well, if it's like that, it's up to you, hahahaha" Genm Fred.

After finishing resting, they and a group of 6 couriers, each 2 couriers responsible for driving a large horse carriage, returned to continue the journey. In addition, the crew of the horse carriage, which numbered about 15 people, also participated in the group. This means that in total all those who are on this journey there are 25 people including Lahar and 3 colleagues. Now they all have resumed their journey.

Soon, the party will pass through the Crimean forest, a forest famous for its fierce robbers. Robbers there, notoriously do not take a compromise and could immediately kill the lives of its victims.

Despite frequent burglaries, strafing, plundering, inexplicably the royal officials never acted and were impressed to let the thieves do as they pleased. Therefore, most of these merchants or merchants preferred the services of the guilds to help them. In addition, the costs to be incurred are also much cheaper than if you have to hire a royal security member who is very expensive.

"Prepare, soon we will enter a robbery-prone area" cried Genm Fred from the front.

"Ready," replied the other colleagues firmly.

Finally, now they have all entered the area of the Crimean forest. The forest is filled with towering trees and also steep cliffs. Because it is still winter, now from the sky began to fall small snow grains slowly.

At first there was nothing strange about the snowfall, but the longer it fell, the slower the horse-drawn carriages that had just rested. They all began to wonder and wonder why these horses look limp and sleepy.

Until at one point, the horses were no longer strong enough to stand and immediately fell asleep just in the middle of the snow-filled road. The couriers and the crew of the horse-drawn carriage now looked so confused and anxious.

"Wow this why sir? How come these horses suddenly stopped and fell asleep like this" asked one of the couriers.

"I'll say it but please don't worry. Sepetinya, soon we will be surrounded," said Genm Fred seriously.

"Haaa is surrounded by sir?" said the courier again with a facial expression that shows anxiety. Now, the rest of the group began to feel more anxious. They are now gathered together and waiting on the number two train. Meanwhile, Lahar and his colleagues Seperi have been preparing and waiting for the arrival of the robber who has the power of snow.

"It seems, these robbers will be stronger than just a lowly robber. They even have people who have snow powers that are undetectable to me. Unexpectedly, the snow that I thought was this ordinary snow, turned out to be a magic that could make animals quickly feel tired and then fall asleep. I'm getting curious, why doesn't he all use his power to cripple his humans as well? They are very interesting" said Genm Fred who was assigned to lead the escort mission this time.
