《Eliminator》Chapter 11: Escort Mission
Advertisement
Scout had arrived at the guilds HQ, when he got there it was busier than he last remembered, he asked around and it turns out that a caravan arrived and hoping to hire the Free Wing Mercenaries for escort. Scout did not care much, so he went towards the guild hall and looked if there were any jobs, then someone grabbed him and a familiar voice spoke.
"Hey, Scout right?"
"Yeah, good to see you again Baron"
"Good to see you too Scout, so how about another mission?" Baron asked Scout
"What kind of mission?" Scout replied
"You've seen the caravan right? Its gonna be an escort mission, its gonna be a big one, they're planning to hire 50 people"
"Whats the catch?" Scout asked with uncertainty
"What do you mean?"
"Well 50 people is a bit too much for 1 caravan right?"
"They have 10 carriages man, and it's only half a day trip, it shouldn't be too hard, and besides, we have an A class coming along so that the mission won't fail."
"How much is the pay?" Scout asked again
"10 gold per person, thats a lot of gold for half a day"
"Alright" Scout nodded
"Okay cool, head over to the gate, we will be leaving soon, speak to the A class, his name is Cyril he will inform you more of the situation, I just have to repair my equipment and ill be right over"
Scout walked towards the gate and sure enough he saw the 5 wings in one mans arm signifying that he was an A class, Scout approached the man and said.
"Id like to join the escort mission."
"I see, whats your rank?"
"C class sir"
"Hahaha no need to be formal, alright what class?"
Scout hesitated for a moment and said
"Assasin"
"Okay, have you been debriefed?"
"Only a little, all I know is that were escorting the caravan to somewhere"
"Yeah, there is a bit more to that, were actually escorting them to an open field, they will be pioneering a new village, were helping them so that when they become a city, we have good relations with them."

"I see"
"Okay, get ready, we will be leaving in about 10 minutes"
Scout then went to the guild blacksmith and got his armor repaired, and he came back to the gate. There was not anyone there yet so he decided to rest below a tree. One by one people gathered and sure enough after 10 minutes, everyone was there. The guild had gathered 30 C class, 19 B class and 1 A class.
"Alright listen up! C class, like always you guys will be doing most of the work, but when things get tough we will take over" Cyril said with a loud voice.
"YES SIR" all of the C class replied
"We included you C class because the monsters won't be that of a high level, this will good experience for you, and do note that the B class will be watching you, so impress them and you might just get a promotion. B class, I will be watching you" Cyril exclaimed
"HOORAH" everyone roared in unison
"Okay lets move out, spread out evenly throughout the entire caravan."
Throughout the entire journey, there were some monsters that would try to attack the caravan but they would easily be killed. The halfway mark was a very thick forest with lots of trees.
Scout was walking up on the tree branches so he had a good visibility, over to the side of the road which the caravan was using was a slope, and up on those slope Scout saw something, it was a blur at first but after a couple of seconds he can finally picture what he saw.
"BANDITS UP ON THE SLOPE!" Scout shouted
Everyone came to a complete stop.
"ARCHERS! ARROWS INCOMING!" Scout shouted once more
"SHIELDS! Warriors, shields up!" Cyril shouted as the rain of arrows came pouring down
The entire guild shifted towards the side where the slope was, they had about 25 warriors lined up with shields.
"Mages and archers, return fire! Warriors, slowly advance upwards!" Cyril shouted. 9 mages and 10 archers returned cover fire.
"Assasins stealth up and flank the enemy! HURRY! their warriors are coming down! Cyril again shouted.

This was Scout's cue, he went into stealth along with 5 other thiefs/rouges. They hurriedly started running towards where the enemy archers were, there were about 50 archers. Scout was the first to arrive behind enemy lines and started killing the archers. They were easy to kill, they had light armor on so only a couple of stabs on their backs and they were dead, Scout killed about 10 archers before the rest of the assassins popped up and started killing the rest of the archers. In about 5 minutes all of the enemy archers were dead.
All that was left were the 100 warriors, but by the time that they finished killing the archers, only about 80 were left, so they ran down the slope and started killing the warriors as well. In about 30 minutes, the fight was over. All thats left was the bandit leader, which was very persistent. Even the B class would have trouble with him, but Cyril instantly killed the bandit leader with a few swings from his big sword.
"Any casualties?" Cyril asked
"None" one said
"Don't think so" another replied
"The caravan?" Cyril asked once more
"All good" One of the people in the caravan said
"Okay good, by the way, who was it that warned us about the enemy?" Cyril asked
Scout did not want to stand out or get recognition so he slid down his mask and said.
"I think it was one of the people in the caravan"
"I see, nonetheless, without that warning we would have lost some people and some carriages." Cyril replied
They started looting the bodies, there weren't much, just some white tiered armor and weapons, also some loot that can be sold to stores. Scout got 2 levels, he did not keep track of how many he killed, all that mattered to him was that he got some levels and was now level 30. After the fight Scout noticed that his daggers were slightly giving off a dark aura, but it was hard to notice since it was already black, but he looked closely enough to actually notice, so he inspected it.

The dagger levels up according to the level of the user, Scout.
Scout was shocked, it has been a while before he checked the stats of his daggers, and last time he checked his daggers were still white tiered, now they were Green tier and giving 2 bonus attributes.
'WOW this thing is amazing, I knew it was good, but to be this good . . . ' Scout was staring at his daggers blankly when Cyril ordered everybody to move out.
After a couple more hours of walking, they finally arrived at their destination.
"Thank you very much, heres your payment" the caravan head handed Cyril a bag of gold coins and Cyril distributed it to the troops.
"Thanks for the business, alright guys, were going back home, lets make it before midnight and have a party!" Cyril shouted and riled up all of his people.
"YEAH!"
"WOOOHOOO"
"LETS GO!"
"LETS MOVE OUT" Cyril shouted
Scout and the other mercenaries got back to their home and they were headed straight to the guild hall where the bar was. They were partying, they ate good food, sang joyous songs, drank good beer, and dancing to the tune.
Scout sat down near the bar and had a few drinks of his own.
"Long day?" The bartender asked Scout
"Yeah, long day, thanks for the beer" Scout said his goodbye's to the bartender and went to his room. He went right to bed and logged off.

The Vitaean Chronicles - Volume I: The Sanguine Prince
NOTE: Chapters 02 - 19 are currently slated for review and rewrite following the Conclusion of Act I. Please bear this in mind! When tragedy strikes Arcturus Valoura, he is ripped from his carefree existence and thrown into a world of politics and peril, where today's friend is tomorrow's foe. Bereft of the knowledge and skills needed to survive in his new reality, he will need to find his place within a realm that mixes magic and science in impossible ways. He will need to learn the secrets of the mysterious System that allows him to guide his potential for growth even as he struggles to unlock the powers needed to keep himself alive. In the darkest, and most desolate places of an ancient land he will have to find the answers to forbidden questions, and terrible secrets long purged from the histories of mankind. And in so doing, shake the very foundations of reality itself. Release Schedule: Tuesdays (I may post on off-days if I get a lot done). Advanced Chapters available on Patreon starting May 4th 2021. Discord Community: https://discord.gg/3tHKHAx7Ye The Vitaean Chronicles are a debut LitRPG High Fantasy series written with the intent of filling a niche I've yet to see filled anywhere else. This is my first novel of this kind, so please be patient with me. Throughout this story, I will endeavour to create an evolving and expansive narrative anchored around believable characters, compelling plotlines, and a consistent and sensible magic system. The purpose of this work is to create what I believe to be a relatively unique piece of fiction, drawing inspiration from many great stories that have come before from the likes of Tolkien, Jordan, Hertbert, Goodkind, Pratchett, Martin, and several others. My goal is not to create a masterpiece, but simply to create a story that someone can read and re-read with the same joy, same frustration, and same investment each time. This story will contain violence, politics, Shakespearian drama, tongue-in-cheek references, adult content, and well-crafted relationships of both platonic and romantic natures. I will not promise you will like every choice I make. I can only guarantee that I will do my best to create a story I, and you, can be proud of. As I progress, I will have room to incorporate fan-made characters for those interested in making their mark within the tapestry of this tale (with the customary disclaimer that they do so while waiving any rights to future profit, lol). Thank you to Royal Road for giving me the platform to do that, and thank you dear readers past, present, and future for choosing to come on this journey with me. Finally, just to cover myself: This work is Copyrighted to the Author herein known as 'Hannibal Forge', and recreation, distribution, or re-release of any material herein in a commercial or public capacity absent permission from the Author can and will be prosecuted to the full extent of the Law.

Would being picked by a glorified universal abductor calling itself a system bring something out of him? Would he finally learn to breathe in the pool of blood that suffocated him? The Harvester does not sow, he only collects. All he has ever known to feel was loss and the only thing he can do is take.
