Winner Takes All novel Chapter 632

No one spoke out against what Achilles said as everyone there knew how much it cost to train a Golden Guard. It was not simply that they were rare. Each one of the Golden Guards was carefully tested at each stage of their progress and was an accumulation of resources and experiences. It was with numerous deadly trials before they were finally worthy of becoming the twelve Golden Guards of the Dragon Cavalry.

Countless men of the Dragon Cavalry tried to become the Golden Guards but very few made it.

A large portion of them lost their lives on the battlefields. From the establishment of the Dragon Cavalry, there had never been any deployment of the Golden Guards for private tasks due to their immense value.

The loss of the lives of three Golden Guards was enough to demand Jack’s life. Even if Jack was a potential heir of the Hughes family!

Jack’s life was no longer in danger after the medical aid was rendered. Achilles sat next to the bonfire and looked at the dancing flames and said solemnly, “When will Commander arrive?”

“Should be pretty soon.” The other eight Golden Guards sat around the fire and didn’t bother with Jack. Jack was still unconscious and his limbs were bound. The only difference was he wasn’t in the shipping container.

Then, in the night sky above the factory started to roar.

“Military planes?” Achilles and the rest tensed and stood up.

“Commander is here. Come with me to receive him.” As the Chief Guard, Achilles led the other eight Golden Guards out of the factory. All of them began to compose themselves and became poised and ready to receive their Commander.

The arrival was majestic as the night sky roared to life. The enormous military aircraft filled the night sky. Achilles was stunned when he saw the aircraft and said, “Only one? Commander came alone?”

“It must be. After all, this time our task isn’t honorable.”

“Brothers, though someone’s going to die for this, we’d also better be mentally prepared for court-martial.”

…

On hearing, everyone started to be gripped with fear. Though it was clear to everyone that the Commander would not severely punish all the Golden Guards, he would certainly not let them get away with it!

Commander’s orders must be obeyed by the three hundred thousand Dragon Cavalries. He practically controlled the life and death of three hundred thousand Dragon Cavalries. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that he was their Lord!

Finally, the aircraft landed. Achilles and the others knelt on one knee respectfully for his arrival.

“Welcome, Commander!” The voices were thunderous although there were only nine of them.

The door of the aircraft opened and a man walked down slowly.

The man was slim, stern, and dignified. Though he did not have Achilles’ build, his body radiated a glow that couldn’t be ignored.

He walked steadily and purposefully forward. However, each step was like a firm pounding on Achilles and the rest of them. The nine of them felt increasingly terrified. The Commander was the only one who could terrify all of them!
