Winner Takes All novel Chapter 885

The military service department was located within Thegiant City and was responsible for recording the military achievements and awards of all units.

There was a long queue at the service department when Jack and the other three arrived with Achilles. There were many military achievements daily that required to be reported and recorded by the three hundred thousand Dragon Cavalry.

It was common for them to make such reports amid the cruel and unforgiving environment.

“Sergeant White, our newcomer had broken record to have a combat award during his first day in service. He is the first one, isn’t he?” Debut suddenly stepped forward and said gleefully to Achilles.

Achilles nodded, “Yes, he must be the rare few if not the first.”

A newcomer to the Dragon Cavalry would be quickly assigned combat duties to assess if he could carry out his tasks safely. But there was an exception to everything and it even caught Achilles by surprise. But this was still reasonable in the northern frontier.

“Then we can certainly brag about this… heh heh heh…” Debut started to laugh proudly.

Then, at this moment, a voice said with surprise, “Achilles, what brings you here?”

Jack looked towards the person and it was a surly and strong officer who looked at Achilles with surprise.

“Commander Shawn, I brought some of my friends to register some military awards.” Achilles smiled and replied respectfully to the officer.

“Military awards?” Commander Shawn started to chuckle and then said sarcastically, “Ha ha ha… Achilles, are you kidding? If memory serves me right, you are the sergeant of a new squad and today you simply brought them for a patrol. Why are you here collecting awards?” As he said, several sergeants around them started to laugh.

In their view, a patrol was a simple task to the Dragon Cavalry and at the Northern Frontier, it was as good as going out for a tour of the frontier. How could they have any combat achievements and awards if there were no dangers?

Amid the laughter, Achilles and the other three’s smile waned. Jack looked at Achilles and it was obvious that Achilles and Commander Shawn had some previous grudges, otherwise, he would not create a scene out of such a small issue. Achilles was demoted by Zenith to become a sergeant but other officers would still accord him with some respect.

If it was not for the previous grudges, Commander Shawn would not behave that way. A Commander in the Dragon Cavalry would have more class than to do that.

Achilles simply ignored Commander Shawn’s sarcasm and said to Jack and the others, “Follow me in.”

But just as the five were about to go into the military service department, Commander Shawn suddenly stood in front of Achilles and blocked their way.

“Are you ignoring the words of a Commander?” Commander Shawn could match Achilles physically and was far more menacing.

Then, those who were laughing suddenly shut up as they could sense that the situation had turned explosive.
