Winner Takes All

A training created such an incident, it had no doubt attracted much attention.

The middle and executive levels in the Dragon Cavalry couldn't let this incident continued.

After Centurion Wales passed away due to anger, his body was removed from the arena, people from higher ranks came to take control and restored order at the training field. At the fighting skills phalanx.

Shawn's face was as dark as charcoal, he clenched his fits and was infuriated.

He witnessed everything. The slash from Jack astonished him.

While the failure of this plan angered him, his heart was heavy and there was no way to release it.

"Achilles, you've met your lucky star, I failed this time but I will get you next time and throw you into hell."

That was what Shawn was thinking.

He was not curious about Jack's extraordinary fighting skills and talent.

It was a norm for the Dragon Cavalry to recruit new soldiers from different troops, it was normal to have recruited some with extraordinary skills.

Shawn didn't pay much attention and left the field.

On the other side, Jack and the rests laughed watching Shawn left.

Jack waved the Dragon Cavalry sword in his hand and asked Achilles, "How was it? My slash was worth the block?"

"You knew that it was an attack, but still blocked for me?" Achilles smiled helplessly.

Jack replied casually, "You are my sergeant, we are teammates, which means friends, blocking an attack for a brother is something a martial art practitioner should do."

If it was just small friction, Jack wouldn't intervene, it was no big deal.

But when he learnt that Centurion Wales received orders from Shawn, he had to intervene!

Achilles would be under so much constrained if he had faced Centurion Wales directly.

Shawn would have succeeded in framing him for all sorts of misconducts!

"Shawn is so cunning." Debut said angrily.

Jack, Achilles, Cole and Yarol looked at Debut in puzzlement.

Four of them spoke simultaneously, "You knew it too?"

Debut shook his head and smiled naively, "I'm no dummy, of course, I can tell. Since Sergeant White and Jack are being sarcastic, why can't I join it? Both of you can be the shield if anything happens anyway." "You are cunning too!"Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Four of them spoke simultaneously again and gave Debut a thumb up.

It was morning when the training session ended.

Light from the sunrise warmth Thegiant city.

Jack and the group went back to their camp to pack up after breakfast.

Achilles said, "We've rested enough. Our mission today is city defence, prepare yourself, it's a 24 hours mission once we take over."

"Don't worry Sergeant White, 24 hours is nothing, I've even done 48 hours in my previous troop!" Debut said while patting on his chest. "That's good then." Achilles stared at Debut and smiled oddly.

Jack noticed everything. He knew that the Dragon Cavalry was based in the Northern Territory, this was not an ordinary place. Snowing the whole year, the land was covered with snow.

the temperature during the day was endurable, but at night, it was horrific!

There were warmer and barbecue in the camp, but the winds that escaped through the door and window gaps was still freezing cold.

Imagine at night, on the city wall... The icing feeling would be thousands more than now!

After putting on the soft armour and beast fur robe, Jack and the group headed to the Northern Gate of Thegiant city led by Achilles.

Their task was to take over the watch at one of the corners of the Northern Gate.

The transition went smoothly with the presence of Achilles.

The watch covered only fifty meters, there was only ten meters distance between five of them!

This kind of watch over strategy was of high security!

Achilles seemed to notice the doubts in Jack and the others.

He explained smiley, "Ten meters a guard is considered loose. There will be an additional guard every five steps during wartime at the Northern Gate. Five steps are similar to five meters."

After a pause, Achilles pointed at the Northern Gate that was blurred by the snowstorm. "The Northern Gate is facing hundreds of clans beyond the frontier, if they march south, the Northern Gate will be their first attack. So, since Thegiant city was built, the Northern Gate defence has always been stronger than the other three gates!"

Jack's sight deepened, along with Achilles' explanation, the battle during the patrol flashed across his mind, as well as that ordinary insignia with a superordinary meaning behind it.

There was a constant snowstorm at the frontier of the northern territory.

Snowstorm and strong winds seemed to be the theme rhythm here.

And the huge white land seemed to be the only colour of this place too.

The snow limited further sights of the area!

Jack's concentration only allowed him to see within a hundred meters, anything further than that was snowed.

No one could be sure if there were thousands of soldiers marching over there!

"Sergeant White, we are still new but already are sent to train in a place like Northern Gate?" Cole was a master in investigation, he was quick-witted to realized something was odd with what Achilles said. Debut and Yarol both looked at Achilles hearing that.

Indeed, a group of one old and four new soldiers.

Even if they are familiar with city defence, but not the Northern Gate on their first task.

Achilles shrugged. "We are all Supreme Merit in Earthly Hierarchy and with this credit, of course, we will be given a difficult task."

Debut and the other two stunned.

Jack who was watching far north turned and looked helplessly at Achilles.

What he meant was they made a huge contribution and was rewarded Supreme Merit in Earthly Hierarchy, so the person that arranged the schedule was envious and put them on a task at the Northern Gate. Jack realized that Achilles' sight fell on him from time to time when he looked at him.

His sight was a little bizarre.

Jack skipped a heartbeat. Was it because of me?

He didn't ask but changed the topic. "Since we are here, let's complete our watch. Even though it is tough, it is also a good chance for training to be better, we can get used to being part of The Dragon Cavalry sooner."

Debut and Cole nodded in agreement.

While Yarol who had been quiet all the while frowned, walked towards the battlements, laid on top of it, looked down and stood up.

He turned to Jack and the rests. "Guess what I found."I
