Thegiant City was covered in snow.
Everyone was panicking. The purge had silently swept through the whole city.
No one knew what was going on.
But they were sure that it had something to do with Achilles’s five-man squad.
However, because they had so little information about it, therefore they were even more nervous.
At the Commission Office.
Shawn tramped hastily to the Commission Office. He stood outside of the office and rubbed his palms indecisively.
He needed a mission. A mission to get out of the city!
In this way, he could openly walk out of Thegiant City before the Golden Guards could bring their men and investigate him.
As long as he was out of Thegiant City, he would be as free as a bird.
But… All the recent scout and patrol missions were not assigned to the Golden Guard force where he belonged.
It would be extremely difficult if he wanted to get out of the city!
“Luckily, Timur gave me the contact of Wolf Royal Palace. I just need to get out of Thegiant City and head directly north. With the help of The Hun Royal Palace, my chances of escape will be higher!”
This was what Shawn had in his mind.
Before he came to the Commission Office, he already had a plan, so he contacted The Hun Royal Palace Wolf beforehand.
After all, in Thegiant City, there were three hundred thousand Dragon Cavalry soldiers. Each soldier had their own duties and responsibilities. So, if the Golden Guards were to bring along a small troop to purge the whole army, they would need some time before they could do that.
And the best time to run away would be the period of time before the Golden Guards found him!
Shawn looked at the soldiers going in and out of the Commission Office. His heart was pounding, and he was in a state of constant distress. The anxiety in his eyes filled with slight remorse.
If he had not listened to Timur’s baloney and had not slept with the woman that Timur arranged for him… He would not be stuck in this predicament now.
Now, he was at the point of life and death. The only choice he had was to completely submit himself to The Hun Royal Palace.
Only by doing so, he could have a chance to live.
If he stayed in the Dragon Cavalry, he would be dead sooner or later.
He was left with no choice, and it was all because of a wrong decision.
Suddenly.
“Shawn, what are you doing here?”
A laughter came from behind.
Shawn, who was troubled and nervous, instantly trembled. His eyes were filled with panic.
After he raised his head and saw who it was, he soothed his facial expression and pretended to be calm. He greeted the man who had just came out from the Commission Office, “Holmes, did you come here to get the scout and patrol mission?”
“Yeah.”
Being the same rank as Shawn, Holmes and Shawn shared a deep relationship even though they were assigned under different Golden Guard units. Therefore, they were already familiar with each other. “I don’t know why there are a lot more scout and patrol missions lately. Even we had to personally lead the soldiers so that we could form a larger brigade and intimidate our enemies on the snowfields.”
Over the years, the Dragon Cavalry had been sending their normal five-man squad directly to the foreign tribes’ home base to execute the scout and patrol mission.
And now, even their rank had to join in the normal scout and patrol missions. It was indeed intimidating.
However, Shawn was very clear.
The changes in the scout and patrol missions were caused by the coalition of the foreign tribes!
That night, when he had the private discussion with Timur, Shawn also got some insider news from him.
However, as he looked at the confused Holmes in front of him, he knew that their superiors were still suppressing the news of the coalition of foreign tribes and did not leak any information out.
“Everything happens for a reason. Holmes, you need to be careful when you go for your patrol.”
Shawn pretended to be kind and advised him. Then, he laughed and said, I’m going to leave if there is nothing else. I need to go back and settle some stuff.”
“Okay, go. I need to go back and do a roll call as well.”
