Winner Takes All

In Dragon Cavalry, Zenith was the master and the most important person.

In the troop, Zenith had supreme authority and everyone listened to his words!

Zenith's idea of decapitation coincided with Jack's suggestion.

During the discussion just now, Zenith's words were obviously said after he had planned in detail in his mind. However, he still asked Achilles to list out the detailed information of foreign tribes and take it to Jack.

It was clear that he wanted to test Jack's ability and also cultivate him.

Achilles was puzzled for a while before he realized what did Zenith want to do.

He had been in Dragon Cavalry for so many years. Even when he was once a Chief Guard, Zenith never asked his subordinates for their opinion when he made a decision. This... was the first time!

"Yes, Sir!"

Achilles respectfully clasped his fist at Zenith and then turned to leave.

Looking at Achilles who left, Zenith rubbed his chin and said meaningfully, "Master, I wonder if Little Jack will surprise us this time."

He was only a few years older than Jack, but when he said these words, it seemed like he displayed an aura that looked like an old man. However, it wasn't that he looked old physically, but he looked mature.

He looked so mature as if he was a late old man who had experienced ups and downs in the world and looked at a young junior. After Achilles left Zenith's room, he did not directly return to his barracks, but went to the information centre in Thegiant City.

The information about foreign tribes was not considered to be a secret among Dragon Cavalry.

Even all soldiers knew the information. To be precise, the information was collected by Dragon Cavalry so that the soldiers could better understand foreign tribes and enrich their knowledge.

After spending half a day, Achilles collected and collated the information about foreign tribes into a book, before leaving the information centre and returning to the barracks.

Jack and the others did not have a mission and they were off today.

Debut and the two men were each busy with their work.

Jack, on the other hand, leaned against the window with an indifferent expression, holding Tao Te Ching and reading it carefully.

He was forced by the current situation to come to the troop and didn't bring too many gifts with him when he was leaving. He thought that it was a visit to Dragon Cavalry, so it would be a burden to bring too many gifts.

Tao Te Ching was the only book he carried with him.

Reading Tao Te Ching had become Jack's habit.

When something became a habit, it was always difficult to forget it suddenly.

During these days in the troop, Jack always passed his free time by reading Tao Te Ching as well.

Even if he already knew the contents of Tao Te Ching by heart and could even recite it backwards fluently, he always had a new feeling when he read it carefully every time.

He was completely immersed in the content of the book. His mind was clear and peaceful.

His whole body became extremely calm as if he was isolated from the world and became pure mentally.

"Jack, I've watched you read this book many times. Aren't you tired of reading it?"

Debut who was bored came over to Jack to look at the contents of Tao Te Ching for a few moments before shaking his head and turning to the side, "Well, I can't understand this book. It makes me feel dizzy when I read it."

"That's because you have meagre knowledge." Cole said while smiling.

Debut raised his middle finger, "I'm uneducated, but I have big muscles, so I can go into the battle and kill the enemy. That's it."

Cole and Yarol burst into laughter.

Among the five men, Debut was the only one who was a barrel of laughs, who made the atmosphere of the whole team a little more lively.

In comparison, the four of them were too quiet.

Jack regained his consciousness and glanced at Debut. He said while smiling, "It has been a long time since I made reading this book a habit. I always feel uncomfortable if I don't read it." "Then why did you read it in the first place?" Debut asked again.

Jack rubbed his nose and said with a light smile, "They said that reading this book could save one's life."

"Save one's life?"

Debut was stunned for a moment. Then he laughed, "If reading the book could save one's life. There would be no need for us to go into the battle and kill the enemy, haha..."

Jack shook his head but continued to read Tao Te Ching.

At this time, Achilles walked into the barracks.

Debut who was idle and bored instantly gossiped, "Achilles, why is the Commander looking for you? Are you going to be promoted?"

Cole and Yarol also looked at Achilles.

They both agreed with Debut's words.

After all, Achilles was once the Chief Guard. Even if he had been demoted as he had committed some mistakes, he still could have such power compared to normal people. He had an old friendship with the Commander, so it was no surprise if he was promoted suddenly.

"How could I possibly be promoted? Everyone in Dragon Cavalry knew about my affairs a long time ago."

Achilles smiled awkwardly and swept his gaze at Jack as if he did not intend to do so.

Jack closed Tao Te Ching and looked up at Achilles. He digressed from the original topic and said, “Sergeant White, do we have a mission to carry out today?"

"We have a city patrol mission, from 8 p.m. to 12 a.m.," Achilles said.

Then, he raised his finger to point at Debut, "During the night, you three will work in groups, while Jack and I will work in groups and patrol the city separately." "Okay."

Cole and Yarol nodded their heads at the same time.

On the other hand, Debut clasped his hands to his chest and said with a smile, "Okay, okay. Sergeant White, don't be so formal. We sleep on the same heatable brick bed at night. You are saying like we don't know that Jack won't sleep on the heatable brick bed in the late night for the past half a month."

"Debut, you're so ugly!"

Achilles digressed from the original topic and stared at Debut with a face full of disgust.

"What?" Debut was stunned.

Achilles looked like he was disgusted even more, "You're not only ugly but also talk a lot." Debut was speechless.

Jack couldn't hold back his laughter and let out a laugh.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Cole and Yarol even laughed out loud straight away, shaking their bodies violently.

They all knew what had Jack done in the barracks for the past half a month.

Jack and Achilles also knew that they couldn't hide the matter from Debut and the others.

It was enough the hide the matter in which he was injured and unconscious within the three days.

As for not sleeping in the barracks in the late night, it had become their habits and their tacit secret.

Moreover, Debut and the others didn't care about it at all.

It was because, on their first day of patrolling the city, the three of them had already seen the difference between Jack and them.

Jack was a capable man. Even if the boss of Dragon Cavalry intended to cultivate him to be a leader, they would not be surprised.

At night, it was before eight p.m. when Debut and others went ahead to patrol the city following Achilles's order.

When the three of them left, Achilles picked up the booklet and handed it to Jack, "Take this to the practice room. The Commander will be looking for you later. Just read the things in this booklet before he arrives."

"Is it that simple?"

Jack looked puzzled, "What's in here?"

"Don't think it is too simple."

Achilles smiled mysteriously, "This is something that I have spent half a day working out. You will know it when you read it later."00000
