This was the deal as discussed by Timur and Shawn last night.
For Shawn to kneel in front of Wolf, the condition was that Timur must help him kill off Achilles.
This was a bloodied vengeance!
Shawn had never forgotten about his little brother’s death.
He just didn’t want to offend Achilles at that time because he was the Chief Guard of the three-hundred-thousand men strong Dragon Cavalry Squad. He could only temporarily bury his hatred in his heart.
However, when he saw Achilles being stripped of his rank by Zenith, Shawn saw a ray of hope. This must be God’s will in his favor!
As a commander, he wasn’t the highest ranking officer in the Dragon Cavalry Squad, but to find out about the mission a puny sergeant was about to embark on was a piece of cake for him.
For Timur, as a businessman in the outskirts of the North, it was too a walk in the part for him to gather an army of mercenaries.
The two of them saw eye to eye, which led to the fruition of this current situation.
As long as Timur could lead the five-hundred strong mercenaries to complete this “mission”, then Achilles head would be Commander’s Shawn glorified pledge of loyalty in front of Wolf!
For Timur, he was fully confident of completing this mission. He didn’t feel any difficulty at all.
In the inner regions of the outskirts near the city, he didn’t dare to launch an attack on Achilles and his team of five men yet.
Fortunately, the Dragon Cavalry Squad had been way too stuck up over the years as they preferred to carry out missions in the outskirts instead of the inner cities. This gave Timur his opportunity that he was searching for.
The roads in the mountains were tipsy and curvy, and the blizzard was still billowing in the air.
As long as they could finish off this fight, the blizzard would cover up their tracks and bury his enemies deep under the snow.
There would be no evidence left!
The Dragon Cavalry Squad would be powerless too even if they wanted to investigate this matter!
“Timur, are you sure that our targets are en route using this path?”
One of the mercenaries asked in a low voice, “This is a sea of whiteness. Their tracks would be devoured by the snow almost instantly, so if we are off the mark even for just a bit, we could lose them forever.”
“You have nothing to worry about. I have a friend making sure of their path for me. There will be no room for error.”
Timur smiled with pride as he was confident of Shawn’s intel.
“No, what I mean is, we should still get our reimbursements even if we can’t complete this mission in the end.”
The head of those mercenaries bean menacingly as a chilling smile hung on his face. He was emanating with murderous aura like a lone wolf in the white plans, “This is our rule. We get our pay after killing our target, but if we are off the mark because of you which eventually fails the mission, you still need to pay up too.”
“My dear friend, do I look like someone who lacks money?”
Timur shrugged while pretending to be shocked by the head, “I have been doing business around the area and hiring you guys to protect me. When did I ever look like someone who would not pay up? I am very clear of your rules, but I also hope that when you spot the target later, you would pounce on him like wolves on the white plains. You will bite them off mercilessly!”
“You have nothing to worry about when it comes to the killing!”
The head of the mercenaries laughed disdainfully, “But who are exactly going to kill this time?”
As he asked that, the other leaders also turned to look at Timur.
Because this business was conducted by Timur, they had the chance to cross paths. So, under the lure of his high reward, the four mercenary team had rushed forth and joined forces.
Of course, this was the reason Timur had been hiding the contents of the mission purposely.
Now that they were almost reaching their targets, they had to get to the bottom of this clearly.
