Winner Takes All novel Chapter 884

Putting an end to the scout and patrol mission?

Achilles’ sudden decision left Jack and the others in dismay.

“Mr. White, is this about the Insignia?”

Cole raised his fingers in doubt and pointed at the Insignia that was held tight by Achilles in his hands.

Achilles came out with that decision as soon as he saw the Insignia.

Obviously, the Insignia was not as simple as it would seem.

“Yes.”

Achilles took the Insignia and shook it in his hands. He gave a meaningful smile and said, “If I were not the Chief Guard before this, we would have carried on our scout and patrol mission. But now, we have to end this mission prematurely.”

Achilles’ words piqued Jack’s curiosity towards the Insignia in his hands.

According to Achilles, only the Twelve Golden Guard, or Zenith and he himself knew what the Insignia meant.

A simple and ordinary wooden Insignia with such a high power of authority.

The meaning behind this may even be more terrifying.

“Let’s go, just obey Mr. White.”

Jack let out a cold breath, and said teasingly, “I’m already chilled to the bones, so its even better if we can go back earlier and report on our military merits.”

Speaking about military merits.

Debut, Cole and Yarol all got excited.

They were willing to give up everything they had in their previous units, and came to join the Dragon Cavalry, just because they wanted to build up some meritorious deeds.

And just after they had joined for a short period of time, they were able to kill a group of scouts from the Oirat tribe in their first mission. Furthermore, they were able to retrieve a significant piece of Insignia that looked and sounded important, this would be considered as a big accomplishment!

“Hahaha… this is a good start for us in the Dragon Cavalry. If the other new recruits knew that we were able to get merits from our first scout and patrol mission, they’d be envious right?”

“Yes, yes, of course. We have achieved something big today. With this merit as a head start, everything will be better in the future!”

“However, we are all safe and sound today all thanks to Mr. White and Jack, so we should thank them as well.”

The three of them smiled happily as they spoke.

When the injured Yarol finished the last sentence, Debut gazed deepen and stared at Jack with hot and glowing eyes.

“Luckily I’m smart. I knew Jack is a hidden gem, and from today onwards I’m going to ride his coattails for as much as possible.”

Deep down, this was what Debut thought.

Following Achilles’ decision.

The five of them immediately turned their horses around and hastily returned to Thegiant.

The snow had not stopped, and the cold wind was still blowing.

When the gang passed by the previous battlefield, they found out that the scattered bodies were gradually covered up by the snow.

“It probably will not take too much time before the traces of the battle be completely buried by the thick snow.”

Jack mumbled.

Achilles, who was standing beside him, laughed and said, “This is how the Northern Territory is like. It is snowing all year long. When a battle ends, the traces will be buried complete in snow in less than an hour. In the Dragon Cavalry, it is considered as extremely lucky if you get to go home after you die. Most of them will forever stay undiscovered under the wind and snow.”

Jack could sense Achilles’ sadness lurking out even though he was smiling when he talked about this.

The battlefield was a cruel place. It was indeed to be a luxury if they were lucky enough to be sent home after sacrificing themselves.

To be able to return back home after death held a significant meaning to everyone.

Moving forward, everyone was rushing back with all their effort.

Debut and the others were still drenched in the joy of getting merits.

Jack had been observing Achilles. He had just came to the Dragon Cavalry, and there were a lot of things that he was still not familiar with. He could learn a lot from Achilles.

Maybe Zenith had this in mind when he made the arrangements.

However, on the way, Jack had been observing Achilles’ expression.

Achilles face expression was extremely solemn!

The kind of solemnness that he had never seen before!
