Winner Takes All novel Chapter 877

The crowd of soldiers remained silent.

The wind and snow still continued on relentlessly.

The one hundred of new recruits stood in heavy snowstorm. They all stood still with their straight backs, looking like unsheathed swords, exhibiting their strong and powerful energy.

Jack stood in the crowd. His gaze swept across the crowd to a distance afar.

A troop of soldiers were marching towards his direction.

The first soldier in the line wore a golden armor. He looked majestic and powerful, strong like an unmovable mountain, daunting and intimidating.

However, when Jack saw the face of the Golden Guard, his eyes wandered for a moment.

This particular Golden Guard was one of the Twelve Golden Guard who had tried to kidnap him before.

Achilles stood behind the Golden Guard. With his massive body size, it was very hard to not notice him.

But right now, Achilles was not the Chief Guard anymore. After he was stripped of his duties by Zenith, he did not look as imposing as before.

The troop of soldiers approached slowly. Everyone could feel the tension building up as they approached.

Everyone kept their eyes look straight ahead and remained solemn.

And when the Golden Guard, Achilles and the other soldiers stood in front of the new recruits.

The hundred new recruits all shouted at the same time.

“Salute, Golden Guard!”

The loud thundering voice echoed through the skies, as though they were trying to silence the snowstorm.

In the Dragon Cavalry, Zenith was the Commander, and also the heart and soul of all the three hundred thousand Dragon Cavalry.

And after the Commander was the Twelve Golden Guards!

Inside the heart of the three hundred thousand Dragon Cavalry, the Golden Guard was an ultimate goal for them to strive towards, as well as a person who they feared like a god.

“Welcome to the Dragon Cavalry, and welcome to your journey of death.”

The Golden Guard stood still like a mountain. And with his eagle eyes, he glanced through all the new recruits, stopping for a moment when he saw Jack.

There were no long speeches, and no unnecessary small talks.

When he finished that one sentence.

The Golden Guard lifted up the name list in his hand and began the roll call.

Jack was surprised that the whole process went over so fast.

As the Golden Guard called out the names from the name list, the new recruits left the troop one after another as they were all assigned to their corresponding units, and queued up behind their respective Sergeant.

Soon, it was Jack’s turn.

“Jack Hughes, enter Achilles’ squad!”

“Yes sir!”

Jack came out from the crowd, and walked towards the bulky and muscular Achilles.

For a brief moment, when he looked at Achilles, Jack had a mixed feeling about him.

In the military, Sergeant was the lowest ranked officer. The Sergeant was only responsible for five soldiers, including himself. Compared to Achilles previous position as the Chief Guard, he really had been stripped until his barebone.

Inevitably, now that he was assigned under Achilles, he felt quite awkward too.

After all, Zenith gave him the position of the Chief Guard after he demoted Achilles. And now, as a Chief Guard, he had to go undercover and disguise as Achilles’ soldier!

As for Achilles, he also felt quite uneasy when he saw Jack.

For the rest of the new recruits, their expression instantly changed when they heard that Jack was assigned under Achilles. They were extremely envious of Jack.

The Chief Guard was the second in command in the Dragon Cavalry. One rank below the commander, but superior to the rest.

The Chief Guard held a prestige and honorable status in the Dragon Cavalry.

And all the new recruits knew that Achilles was the previous Chief Guard.

Even though for now Achilles had been stripped to the barebone, and demoted to a Sergeant, he still retained his skills and experience.

In the eyes of the new recruits, Jack was not assigned under a mere Sergeant; he was assigned under the former Chief Guard.

With such a strong anchor in their squad, it would highly beneficial for them in their missions. Not to mention that the risk of casualty would be greatly reduced, it would be easier for them to score more merit points.

They were truly jealous of him!

Watching Jack walking towards Achilles, Debut stood among the crowd of new recruits and gazed at Jack with envy. He couldn’t help himself and mumbled, “Jack is so lucky to be assigned under the former Chief Guard! All the protections, all the promotion opportunities!”

And straight after that.

The Golden Guard shouted again, “Debut, enter Achilles’ squad!”

Boom!
