Winner Takes All novel Chapter 920

Jack’s words immediately caused Achilles’s eyebrows to tighten and his gaze looked a bit cold.

Achilles said in a deep voice, “But if he was not escorting the supply convoy, what was he going to do?”

“Carry out a mission?”

Jack frowned and said.

“Impossible, Shawn has five hundred armies under him. For the mission of the his level, there must be a scale of at least five hundred armies.”

Achilles shook his head abruptly and said decisively, “Escorting a supply convoy is one of the few missions of this level that can reach the scale of five hundred armies. Further beyond or below this level, any other scale and difficulty of the mission cannot match with his level.”

Jack was puzzled and his expression gradually became more serious.

What he had said just now “There must be something fishy when things go weird” actually sounded a bit sarcastic. However, he did not expect that this comment would strike directly into Achilles’s heart.

Nevertheless, Achilles was the former Chief Guard of the Dragon Cavalry. He was absolutely familiar with the task arrangement of the Dragon Cavalry.

If Shawn had left the Thegiant City last night not because to escort the supply convoy, then the implication behind it…was indeed somewhat elusive.

“Why don’t we just go and ask him directly?”

Jack suddenly changed the topic and proposed.

Achilles immediately looked at Jack in shock, “Crazy?”

Jack shrugged, “Forget about it, let’s train now. Of course, we can’t ask this kind of matter directly, but we can investigate behind the scene. No matter what mission we have taken up, it must be recorded in the military. We just need to investigate and everything will be clear.”

Achilles’s expression turned a little calm. He nodded and said in a deep voice, “After the training in the early morning, I will go to the mission department to check it out.”

“You are really careful too.”

Jack teased and laughed, “Is it possible that Shawn targeted you purposely and you wanted to take this opportunity to pull him down?”

“What nonsense!”

Achilles was solemn and said in a deep voice, “I, Achilles is at least an indomitable man. I’m still not that dirty and nasty to do such. Being a member of the Dragon Cavalry, I should investigate it since I found something strange.”

Jack smiled but he did not say anything more.

In his heart, he was also puzzled about Shawn leaving the city at midnight.

However, he was not that agitated as Achilles.

Perhaps…there was another reason?

Perhaps…Shawn was just following the convoy to the gate.

Shaking his head, Jack went straight into the formation of the Dragon Cavalry Sword and began a new round of training.

The scorching early morning training session continued until the sun rose and covered the entire Thegiant City, it only ended then.

Jack and Debut three of them returned to their barracks directly. Meanwhile, Achilles went straight to the mission department sceptically.

“Jack, where does Sergeant Achilles go?” Debut did not find Achilles and he could not help but ask Jack in confusion.

“He has gone to the mission department.”

Jack said, “As I guess, we will have another scouting and patrolling mission out of the city soon.”

In the Dragon Cavalry, the higher the official position, the less likely they would need to go on a mission. Once they all had to go on a mission, it could be a sign that a great war was about to occur for the Dragon Cavalry.

As the smallest unit of the Dragon Cavalry, five of them were like working ants in an anthill as they had to carry out their missions constantly. The only difference was that their missions were different and were carried out alternately among them.

Counting the days, it was indeed about time to leave the city for scouting and patrolling.

However, Jack did not intend to tell Debut and them about Achilles’s doubt towards Shawn.
