Winner Takes All

The imposing squad raced over.

The battle horses trampled on the streets, the metallic and crisp sounds could be heard from their hooves.

Galloping majestically, full of force.

Jack and the others also saw the 'large-scale' unit.

"What mission are they executing?"

Jack was puzzled.

At the side, Debut and Yarol were also curious.

"It looks like a battalion of five hundred soldiers. This must be an important mission."

"If it's a battalion, it must be about some capture and killing mission."

However.

Achilles shook his head and laughed lightly, "This is only a scout and patrol squad."

What?!

Jack and the two others looked at Achilles dumbfoundedly.

Achilles raised his hand and pointed at the huge battalion. "You just joined the Dragon Cavalry, so you are not sure about the details. Depending on the mission, the soldiers will show different expressions. The battle horses galloping speed will differ too. If it is really something related to capture and killing, the horses will be galloping thunderously without leaving any traces. Not like now, the horses are marching uniformly."

"Only on a safe mission like the scout and patrol, they could remain composed and have the leisure to maintain their formation."

Jack and the two others suddenly understood.

The next second.

The large battalion marched majestically and arrived in front of the western city gates.

Holmes ordered the battalion to stop. Then. He rode his horse and went through the handover procedure with the city gates garrison officer. During that time.

The battalion of five hundred soldiers remained silent.

Whether it was the soldiers or their horses, they all remained in extreme silence.

Just from this point alone, you could show the military qualities of the Dragon Cavalry.

"If they need to deploy a battalion of five hundred soldiers to execute a scout and patrol mission, it means that the situation is not so good!"

Debut told Jack and the others in a faint voice.

Jack and Yarol nodded their heads.

Since they joined the Dragon Cavalry, they had already executed the scout and patrol mission twice, and both times were perilous. But that being said, it was common to have a five-man squad execute the scout and patrol mission. And to deploy a battalion to act as a scout and patrol unit, the number of soldiers in it was already a hundred times more than the normal squad.

"Nowadays, the snowfields are simmering with danger. Plus, now we are in the season of deep winter. During this time, the polar night will appear, and the foreign tribes will sure come out and find trouble. Therefore, the deployment of a larger battalion for the scout and patrol unit is a necessity."

Achilles' gaze deepened. Compared to Jack and the others, he was the former Chief Guard, therefore he knew a lot more about the northern region.

After they heard what Achilles had said.

Debut and Yarol both nodded.

However, Jack frowned solemnly, thinking in his mind.

If they suddenly increase the scales of the scout and patrol units, maybe it was related to the polar nights. But the main reason must be due to the appearance of the Coalition Order that had suddenly caused the snow plains to be in simmering chaos right now.

"Safe trip!"

After the handover procedure was done, the city gates garrison officer saluted Holmes.

He saluted back, rode his battle horse, and waved his right hand. "Forward!"

Rumble...

The massive troop of soldiers went out of the city.

Compared to when they had just arrived at the western city gates, they were moving even faster now.

Holmes got out of the Thegiant city first. His battle horse led ahead, rushing through everyone.

And the troops behind him followed through.

"Let's go, we can only have some more leisure time for two more days. After that, I think we will have to follow another battalion for the scout and patrol mission." Achilles shrugged and intended to leave with Jack and the others.

However, at this moment.

"Wait!"

Jack accidentally caught a glimpse at the scout and patrol unit. Then, his pupils shrank to an extend and pulled Achilles. "Isn't that Shawn?"

Kaboom!

Hearing what Jack said, Achilles, Debut, and Yarol felt as if they were struck by a lightning.

The three of them raised their heads and looked outside of the city gates. The battalion of five hundred soldiers had already rushed out, and the gigantic gates were closing slowly. The man that Jack saw was the last person, at the rear of the battalion.

When Achilles and the rest looked towards there, they could only see a back figure.

In a sudden flash.

Achilles' facial expression changed, and shouted fiercely, "Shawn!"

As he shouted, all the city gates garrison soldiers were stunned and looked towards him.

And after he shouted.

Jack and the rest could obviously see that the last person tried to lower his head even more.

At this moment, that motion was an obvious sign of guilt!

Achilles was shocked.

And his mind became extremely clear.

Last time when they were patrolling with Debut and the rest, they had already seen Shawn followed the supply convoy and went out of the city in the middle of the night. And now, it was a special timing, where the whole city was being purged, looking for the traitor.

The most crucial thing was, Achilles was very sure that the Golden Guard unit that Shawn was in, was not responsible for any scout and patrol mission at this moment.

Then...

"Shawn is the traitor!"

Achilles shouted decisively, and immediately rushed towards the western city gates.

Jack and the others' facial expressions also changed and followed behind Achilles.

No matter if the person was Shawn or not, but as long as there was suspicion, the most important thing to do now was to stop the person from leaving.

It would be fine if they recognized the wrong person.

But if it was the right person, and if Shawn successfully got out of the city, it would be hard to catch him again.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

The rank like Shawn was not considered as a high-rank officer in the Dragon Cavalry. However, they were still able to get access to some medium-level military information! When Jack and the others rushed to the city gates, the stunned garrison Deputy General also got back his senses. He hurriedly asked, "Mr. White, is there a problem?"

He did not assume any superiority when he talked to Achilles.

After all, Achilles was the former Chief Guard.

Achilles' face flushed with anger and pointed at the closed city gates. "Get him back. Order the scout and patrol unit to return at once. I suspect that there is a traitor inside that unit, disguised as one of our soldiers, and went out of the city with the battalion!"

"What?"

The Deputy General's facial expression changed dramatically. As a Deputy General, he knew what was going on now in Thegiant city.

If the traitor openly escaped the city from his hands, ... It would be more than a disaster for him!

The Deputy General's face turned pale. At that moment, he instantly turned around and shouted in fear, "Recall the scout and patrol unit! Get one thousand men here right now and follow me. We are going to chase them down!"

At this moment, his voice broke the peace and serenity of the western city gates and was sent into a frenzy.

"They won't be able to catch up with them!"

Between the chaos, Jack said coldly to Achilles, then immediately pointed at the military-grade SUV nearby the city gates.

"Debut and Yarol, the two of you stay here! Jack, follow me!" At that instant, Achilles realized what Jack meant. He rushed towards the SUV together with Jack.

A city gate garrison unit would not have enough allocations of battle horses and military-grade SUVs.

Therefore, even how afraid and anxious the Deputy General was, he would not be able to chase the scout and patrol unit down even he could gather a thousand soldiers.

No matter how fast the human legs could run, they could never win the chase against horses with four legs.

Summoning back the scout and patrol unit would be useless as well. The normal unit would come back, but what if Shawn was really hiding in the battalion? Would he foolishly follow them back?

He must have already planned what to do after he left the city since he decided to hide in the scout and patrol unit.

When the western city gate was in chaos.

Vroom!

The violent roar of the engine thundered.

In everyone's eyes.

A military-grade SUV did a tail-flick drift, and tail flames could be seen from the exhaust pipes. In front of all the soldiers, it rushed ahead and drove out of the western city gates. With great speed, it chased towards the scout and patrol unit that had just left the city...000000☐☐☐☐☐☐
