At early dawn, the man walked out of his inn, fully prepaired. He wore a set of light leather armor, a small iron pauldron on the left shoulder, his left hand wore a fingerless glove but his right hand was a full steel gauntlet with a big bracer on the wrist. He equipped on his back a trident that the length is 1.2 of his height, three blades point to three directions make the trident look like a church cross, suitable for his long range attack. The bracer on his right arm is the close combat weapon, it contain two type of claw: a straight parallel pair of blades with the length of a short sword and a parallel pair of claw blade that bent like a hook. He is also strapped a dagger on his right boot. - Fully prepaired for a mercenary. ( In his standard )

Out of the inn, he walked straight toward the barrack of the town where the Order soldier arrived and stayed last night. The entrace spot a soldier, his figure was like waiting for someone. It was the friendly soldier from yesterday.

"Ah, there you are. I was waiting for you. Everyone in the unit is ready. By the way my name is Alex Costa. Pleasure to meet you." - the soldier greeted the man when he saw him coming.

M: "Your friend is not with you here?"

Alex: "My friend Avi Galand stayed back in the barrack with the rest of the unit and waiting to hear the Knight in charge talk about the mission and the current situation. And the Knight want to talk to you. Come with me."

When they both walked in the barrack area the merc noticed all of the soldiers were already line up in the formation.

"Thats the army for you." - he thought.

In the tent there was a knight in armor looking at the map on the table, the map of Tri-Season area. He drealized it was a female knight when he came closer to the table. The knight look up when she noticed them.

"This is the one you picked? Are you sure he can handle the job, Alex?"

Alex: "Yes Ma'am. I believe he got what it tak-" -Alex was interupted by the man.

M: "I am totally capable of guiding you and your unit to the camp at Finger road through the Dark Forest as long as you do exactly what I told you and your unit. If so, your unit can stay safe. Do you agree, Ms. Knight?"

"How arrogant, but I understood. I am Sasha Maxwell, you may know it already that Im a knight. Here is half of the payment like the deal." - the Knight replied while giving him a coin purse.

Then they left the tent. After a few minutes of giving speech by Sasha to the soldiers, the unit head to the west gate of the town, started journey to the Dark Forest.
