Winner Takes All

The last sentence was especially deadly.

The Golden Guards were all speechless.

Ever since the Dragon Cavalry was formed, they had been dominating the Northern Territory.

Many tribes were destroyed and eliminated by the Dragon Cavalry.

However, even though the foreign tribes was terrified with all the destruction and elimination, their determination of invading south had never ceased.

From time to time, they would launch some smaller scale battle, trying to invade and harass the northern region.

This had already become a norm in the Northern Territory.

To become a Golden Guard, each of them had gone through hundreds of battles. Therefore, after Zenith pointed out the most crucial point, they were able to react and started thinking more about it. "Commander, even if you want to decapitate their leaders, which foreign tribes are you aiming first?"

One of the Golden Guards clasped his fist and asked.

Hearing this.

The crowd frowned and pondered, started discussing among themselves with low voices.

"Killing the leaders for small tribes of the foreign tribes is not enough to stop them from joining forces. However, if we consider the larger tribes, the degree of difficulty will be much higher." "Maybe we can work on the Hun tribe directly?

"The Hun imperial court is located at the deep north. If we want to enter the ruling area of the Hun royal family, we will have to pass through at least more than a dozen tribes on the way. This matter alone is already extremely difficult."

"The Khitay tribe and Shura tribe is two of the strongest tribe among the tribes. Plus, they held grievance against the Hun tribe, with generations of blood feud. These two tribes should be a good target. Once we successfully frame them, it will directly trigger the Hun royal family, and create a huge impact within the tribes.

The eyes of the Golden Guards brightened up when they heard the suggestion from one of their comrades.

Compared to the Hun royal family, the Khitay tribe and Shura tribe were indeed easier targets.

The difficulty level would drop tremendously!

"Commander, the Khitay tribe and Shura tribe are undoubtedly a better choice for us."

Achilles was well aware of that as well. Once again, he clasped his fist and told Zenith, "As mentioned, the Khitay tribe is not far from us. We can reach the Khitay tribe after passing through the ruling area of another medium-sized tribe. The risk of our infiltration will be a lot lesser if we choose Khitay tribe."

All the Golden Guards nodded their head.

The decapitation operation was aimed towards the leader of a certain tribe.

In the process, they should consider all the possible risk involved, if not, they could be facing the vengeance coming from a whole tribe.

Due to the nature of the decapitation operation, they would need to sneak into a particular tribe and kill their leader. If the specific tribe was far away from Thegiant City, they would have to pass through all those tribe forces that was located in between. Therefore, it would be hard to get any assistance, or even expose their true intention.

Over these years, the Dragon Cavalry had been dominating the Northern Territory. They had also executed the operation of decapitation before; however, it was only aimed towards the smaller tribes. This was the first time they laid their eyes on a huge tribe like the Khitay tribe!

That being said.

Zenith chuckled and looked deeply at Achilles and the others, and said teasingly, "Have you all forgotten about the cattle herders?" What?!

All of them were stunned in place.

One of the Golden Guards suddenly responded, "Commander, are you talking about... Turks?"

"Other than Turks, which tribe has ever herd cattle?"

Zenith said with a smile.

Hearing that.

Everyone suddenly showed different expressions.

Even Achilles fell into a deep thought.

As the former Chief Guard of the Dragon Cavalry, he knew everything about the foreign tribes.

Everyone was very cautious and wary of the attack of bison that happened fifteen days before, because there was another incident where the used buffalos as cover and attack up the city.

Fifteen days ago, everyone was cautious and wary of an incident where wild oxen attack the city gates. Because long time ago, the Turks tribe had done the same thing before. They hid their warriors beneath black oxen and tried to launch an attack on the Thegiant City!

Compared to the other tribes, the Turks tribe lived a more unadulterated life. They herded cattle and migrated using horses.

And according to the statistics observed of the Dragon Cavalry, at least seventy percent of the incident related to black oxen attacking the city were initiated by the Turks tribe.

From the statistics, one might think that the Turks tribe was not very smart for using the same methods repeatedly.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

However, Achilles knew exactly how dangerous this method was.

They would do it once or twice, to lower the guard down of the Dragon Cavalry. Then, during one of the random black oxen attacks, they would hide their assassin beneath the oxen and launch a surprise attack. As a result, every time the black oxen attacked the city, the Dragon Cavalry would be on high alert.

As for now, whenever the black oxen came, the Dragon Cavalry would kill as much as possible, by all manners of means.

This was because no one could ever know when the Turks tribe's assassin would be hiding underneath the black oxen. That being said...

Achilles frowned his eyebrows and stared at Zenith with confusion.

The Turks tribe was indeed slightly weaker compared to the Khitay tribe and the Shura tribe. Among the tribes, they belonged to the middle class, or even slightly lower. But still, the Turks tribe was much stronger compared to the smaller tribes that they had eliminated before.

Despite that, the Turks tribe was actually further away from the Thegiant City, as compared to the Khitay tribe. Additionally, there were two more smaller tribes in between as well.

However.

Achilles and the Golden Guards was enlightened by what Zenith said next.

"Turks is a tribe that has choose to exchange their women for glory. And now they are just the vassal tribe of the Hun royal family. They have exchanged their women for cattle, time after time. If not, why do you think they have so many oxen to launch the attack on us?"

Boom!

Zenith's word woke everyone up.

Within the tribes outside of the northern region, every one of them knew what the relationship between the Turks tribe and the Hun royal family was.

Some tribes were even ashamed of the Turks tribe's decision to suck up on the Hun royal family.

Over these years, the Turks tribe had launched numerous attacks on Thegiant City. And all of the oxen were provided by the Hun royal family!

As a vassal tribe under the Hun royal family, it was easy for them to assemble the required oxen to launch the attacks.

In exchange, the Turks tribe had married some of their best women to the Hun royal family, to obtain their support and resources.

When all of them thought about it.

"You are right! If we try and kill the leader of the Turks tribe, even though the risk factors are higher, but we only need to go through the smaller tribes along the way, so it will be easier to return to Thegiant City. Additionally, the Turks tribe is weaker compared to the Khitay tribe and the Shura tribe, so it will be much easier if we choose to infiltrate them."

One of the Golden Guards spoke with glaring eyes, "And the Turks tribe is connected to the Hun royal family through marriage. Once the Turks tribe's leader is decapitated, it will definitely create an impact on the Hun royal family. And thus, they will use their jurisdiction to influence the outcome of the alliance of the tribes."

All of the sudden, all the Golden Guard's gazed towards Zenith in awe.

Zenith's words also reaffirmed what Achilles had told the Golden Guards before.

It meant that Zenith already had a plan in his mind for this crisis!

"You can all leave first. I need to carefully think this through. Also, I need to decide on a correct timing to execute the decapitation operation." Zenith waved his hand and dismissed the Golden Guards. At the same time, he looked towards Achilles and said, "Achilles, stay here first."

After all the Golden Guards had left, Achilles asked, "Commander, what can I do for you?"

Zenith rubbed his chin and said, "Prepare all the information of foreign tribes. I want to ask Jack's opinion when he goes to the training room tonight." "You already knew what to do, so why...?

Achilles was dumfounded and confused. He stopped abruptly halfway through the conversation.

It was because he suddenly realized why Zenith did that. Zenith was not asking for Jack's opinion... He was educating Jack, or he should say, evaluate him!
