Winner Takes All novel Chapter 901

“Sergeant White, what is going on here?”

Jack stared blankly at that mountain of black cow carcasses beneath him.

At that moment things came to an end, and there was the chance to have a rest and clear up any doubt.

What was the secret behind that three hour-lasting massacre?

Hearing those words, Debut Moore, Cole Sanchez and Yarol all looked at Achilles White.

Achilles rubbed a handful of snow on his beard and stuffed it into his mouth, and said while chewing it, “Most part of the foreign forces live on grazing. There was once, a group of cattle made a raid on Thegiant City but our guards didn’t care about it, and finally they let the killers hidden in the cattle climb the city wall. That night, more than three hundreds soldiers died!”

Boom! It was a shock!

Jack and the others were all stunned.

Using the cattle as a cover, the hidden assassins climbed the city wall and made a massacre.

Such a strategy was really unpredictable!

After all, who could have thought there would be some killers hidden in the raiding cattle?

In the northern border such a desolate place, it was very common to see wild cows!

We should know that the difference between humans and animals was that where there are many people, there are few animals, and where there are few people, there are many animals.

The cattle was a perfect cover for hiding in the northern border.

“So that night, if the Golden Guards hadn’t reacted quickly taking out the killers who climbed the city wall with troops and destroying thousands of cows, there might have been even more than three hundreds deaths.”

Achilles’ voice was solemn, he was still chewing the snow while staring at Jack and the others, “So, do you still think that this massacre is unreasonable?”

“Maybe…if you rummage through the cow carcasses below right now, will you find some killer’s body?”

Jack’s voice was deep, and his expression changed greatly when he looked at that mountain of cow carcasses.

The most important thing when attacking a city was to seize the initiative to occupy the city wall.

Once one ripped through the defence wall and entered in, it would be considered as a terrible and rapid invasion.

If the city wall was occupied, and the city gate opened, then it would be a huge disaster!

The death of three hundreds soldiers, if compared to the final possible outcome, was really insignificant!

After Achilles’ explanation, Jack no longer found the massacre absurd, but rather necessary.

“Have the foreign forces had such good abilities?” Debut said with a deep voice.

Yarol and Cole also frowned and looked down at the mountain of cow carcasses.

At that moment, everybody looked serious.

If they hadn’t killed those cows at once, but have let them raid, maybe they would have been brutally killed in a moment of negligence.

No one could guarantee to keep alert all the time staying up late in that piercing freezing wind, and even the strongest man would doze off.

“Swoosh…” Achilles let out a sigh and smiled, “Wait, tomorrow morning we can go to clean up the cattle, and we could even make a banquet with all this meat. Besides, after this massacre, we can finish earlier our duty and change the shift. God…I’m freezing to death!”

Hearing those words, Jack and the others smiled.

Three hours of high-intensity shooting was too exhausting for all the soldiers.

Debut, Cole and Yarol felt a sharp pain on their arms and they couldn’t even raise them up. They were not the only ones that had such problem.

After that exhausting effort, the level of vigilance and the combat power of the soldiers staying on the city wall were greatly reduced, so changing the defence was the best way!

Achilles looked back at the cow carcasses below, and spit out.

He said with a cruel smile, “Those foreign forces are so stupid, did they really think just because they won once, they would have won every time? If they haven’t been shot, haven’t been trampled by cows, they have to stay in this fucking cold night, they should have already frozen to death. If tomorrow really there are corpses, I will hang them on the city wall to scare those foreign forces!”

Jack smiled and didn’t think Achilles was out of line.

He was like that even on the battlefield.
