Winner Takes All

Outside of Thegiant City.

The snowy wind was blowing violently.

The shouting voice of the garrison Deputy General and Achilles were hidden in the snowstorm and the galloping sounds of the battle horses.

Therefore, the scout and patrol unit that Holmes was leading did not experience any abnormalities.

However, following an urgent phone call.

The whole scout and patrol unit was thrown into a mess.

"Holmes, there is a traitor hiding in our unit!"

When Holmes heard what the signalman said, his scalps trembled as if he was struck by lightning.

"Stop marching!"

Holmes shouted decisively as he swung his command whip.

The traitor in the Dragon Cavalry was the reason why Thegiant City was in a turmoil.

The Commander personally ordered the three Golden Guards to check and screen the whole army, and he already told them that he rather kill the wrong person than let the guilty one go. From the Commander's attitude, he already knew how serious this matter was!

If the traitor really hid in their unit, the single crime of helping him escape the city would be sufficient to behead his head!

The imposing and majestic battalion that was previously rushing through the snow plains immediately stopped on the spot at his order.

However.

As the battalion stopped moving, there was one battle horse that rushed forward. Instead of stopping, it made a sharp turn, heading straight into the depths of the northern region. Everyone saw that scene.

And it drew the attention of Holmes and the others.

"Chase him!"

Holmes eyes were burning with fury, shouting angrily and bellowing in fear.

Rumble...

At his order, the massive unit started rushing towards the rider who was escaping.

However, because of the short pause, the rider had surpassed and outpaced them for a long distance.

As soon as the massive unit started chasing.

A military-grade vehicle roared from the direction of the city, rushing from behind like a beast.

"Make a turn here, he exposed himself!"

Jack, who was sitting at the passenger seat, had a cold expression. He narrowed his eyes and gazed towards the back figure of the rider, who was escaping on this boundless snow plains.

Eek!

Achilles stepped on the brakes at once and turned the steering wheels, which drifted the car wheels.

Then, he stepped on the gas at once. With a huge roar, the military-grade vehicle let out a beastly bellow, overtaking the scout and patrol unit leaving them behind. They chased towards Shawn. "God dammit, damn, why is this happening to me?"

"Bastard, go catch him at all costs! You are allowed to kill him on the spot if you need to!"

"Damn it, who is this traitor? Why does it have to be me?"

Holmes ordered the battalion to keep chase while he was cursing nonstop. His expression was distorted, and he was scolding angrily and fearfully.

The signalman who was following closely beside him, waited for him to pause, then reported loudly, "Commander, the traitor is Shawn!"

Kaboom!

Like a thunder strike.

The fearful and angry Holmes instantly trembled. At that moment, his eyes went black and nearly fell off his horse.

As he steadied himself on the horse, Holmes eyes went red, "Bastard! Asshole! Shawn, I treated you as my comrade, you treacherous traitor, why do you want to frame me?" His miserable yell echoed through the snow plains.

It even suppressed the sound of the wind and snow and the galloping sounds of the horses.

At the same time.

Thegiant City, at the western city gates.

The silence and killing malice swept through half the city.

The garrison Deputy General led his team and knelt on the floor, with a pale and scared face.

On the city walls, the standing guards all knelt in fear as well.

Only a few people stood there, like towering mountains.

The killing malice that swept through half the city was emitted from these people.

No, to be exact, it was emitted out from the person standing in the middle.

"Commander, it is true. Shawn has gone missing."

One of the Golden Guards reported. His face was filled with slaughterous desire.

"It's too late, we are too slow. Actually, we didn't know that it was him. He escaped the city and exposed himself."

Zenith put his hands behind him. He stood tall like a spear, emanating his killing intent, which formed a dominating spirit, boorishly crushing half of Thegiant city. Then, he laughed at himself and said, "My reputation has all gone down to the drains from this humiliation."

As his laughter begun.

The three Golden Guards behind him all knelt in fear.

"Please forgive us, Commander!"

"It's nothing, don't worry."

Zenith shook his hands. "Since they have begun chasing him, as long as they bring his head back, and hang it on the flag of the western city gates, I will exempt everyone who is involved from the punishment. If they don't bring his head back, then..."

He did not finish his sentence, and his voice stopped briskly.

Then, a chilling and terrifying force suddenly gushed out from his body and shoot straight into the skies.

It even instantly affected their surroundings.

From the three Golden Guards, down to the common soldiers, everyone was covered in this chilling force. They were so terrified they didn't even dare to breathe and remain completely still.

The three Golden Guards were very clear.

According to Zenith, if the people out there failed to bring the traitor's head back, perhaps... Even they, who were responsible for the purging would have to be punished.

"Who is chasing the traitor?"Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Zenith asked.

One of the Golden Guards replied hastily, "Achilles and Jack, and the battalion of the scout and patrol unit. Everything happened in a flash, and Achilles was the one who discovered it. At that time, the battalion has already headed out of the city and speeding up. The garrison Deputy General wanted to gather his men and give chase, but it was too late. Then, Achilles and Jack took the SUV and rushed out of the gates."

"The two of them?"

Zenith raised his eyebrows, turned around, and looked down at the three Golden Guards in front of him. He smiled coldly, "You are lucky that it was the two of them. If not, from you Golden Guards, down to the common garrison soldiers, you all have to be punished!"

From his words, it sounded like he was sure that Jack and Achilles could definitely catch up with Shawn!

After Zenith said those words.

The three Golden Guards lowered their head guiltily.

The three Golden Guards had been busy with the purge, but they accidentally let the traitor secretly hid inside the scout and patrol unit and got out of the city openly.

It was also a burning shame for the three Golden Guards!

Shortly, Zenith ordered again.

"Relay the order, the three of you bring your Golden Guard armies, and rendezvous with Achilles they all."

What?!

His words shocked the three Golden Guards, and they raised their heads right away.

In the Dragon Cavalry, the military ranks and titles were segmented clearly and strictly.

Compared to the normal armies, the Golden Guards in the Dragon Cavalry were special; they were ranked only below Zenith, but higher than normal generals.

In the Dragon Cavalry, the thirty hundred thousand soldiers were divided into twelve corps and controlled by the Twelve Golden Guards. In their respective corps, they were led by different ranks of officers.

A General in the Dragon Cavalry could only command ten thousand soldiers. As for the Golden Guard, they were able to command a total of twenty-five thousand soldiers.

In other words, two Golden Guards corps... would be a total of fifty thousand soldiers!

To deploy three Golden Guards, and fifty thousand soldiers just to chase a single traitor...wasn't this too much?

Zenith felt the gaze of the three Golden Guards.

He looked at them coldly, and his eyes shone. "Why? I already gave you a chance to make amends for your mistakes, so do you still have something to say? If the traitor reaches the foreign tribes, even though it would not be a devastating impact for Thegiant City and the Dragon Cavalry, but it would still cause some damage!"
