Winner Takes All

"I can't stay here any longer. I really can't!"

Shawn was riding on his horse, as his expression became horrified and then stunned. His lips were even shivering.

With the sword carried on his shoulder, Jack was still filled to the brim with murderous intent on the battlefield. At that moment, he was like a devil had descended upon him. Fear immediately blinded Shawn.

Even though they were far from each other and with Achilles in between, who was also eagerly wanted to kill him.

Deep down in Shawn's heart, he wasn't afraid of Achilles. But he knew that Jack posed more threat to him!

Achilles was strong. But he was still a human after all.

And at that time, Jack... wasn't human!

He was so desperate in his heart that there was no doubt if he continued to stay, Jack would be able to walk up in front of him and dismember his head with a slash! "This is the order of the Wolf! No one can disobey!"

The middle-aged man clenched the reins with his right hand. As he looked at Jack, who was slaughtering everything in his path, his heart sank.

How could he not understand the situation even when Shawn could?

But that was an order from the Wolf. He was only a general commanding ten thousand men and he couldn't even oppose.

"If the price of capturing Jack is to have ten thousand troops slaughtered, it's a price I'm willing to pay!"

This was what the middle-aged man pondered to himself.

At that same time.

Achilles's fight with three of the The Expendable Wolfs was almost at its end.

Tracth!

The sword made a hole through the chest of the last The Expendable Wolf.

Achilles didn't immediately remove the sword. He was clenching on the hilt while catching his breath.

A high-intensity brawl on the battlefield could not be simulated with those ones on one combats!

On the battlefield, there was danger in every corner. Not only did you need to use all your strength during combat, you were also required to be on full alert of your surroundings. It was extremely exhausting. Even though he was resting.

It only lasted for a mere few seconds.

Achilles pulled his sword out of the body of the deceased The Expendable Wolf, his cold and fierce gaze swept around the Foreign soldiers that had encircled him.

With the death of The Expendable Wolfs, the Foreign soldiers clearly knew what to do and immediately surrounded him.

As Achilles stood his ground, his tall figure was like a mountain. This made him stood out among the Foreign soldiers.

His whole body was radiating a domineering aura.

Anywhere he looked, no one dared to have eye contact with him.

Even the pace of the Foreign soldiers was extraordinarily slow and cautious.

"Phew...."

Achilles withdrew his gaze and with a cold sneer, he locked onto Shawn, who was not far from him, "Shawn! I killed your brother back then, and today... I'll kill you too!" Rumble!

His voice wasn't loud, but it was packed with a penetrative force.

Shawn, who was on his horse, shocked to his core, as his gaze intercepted with Achilles'.

Terrified, shocked, and feeling totally hopeless...

Even if nearly ten thousand of his men were protecting him, it was difficult for Shawn to suppress these emotions.

However.

"Roar!"

On the battlefield, there was another terrifying roar heard.

Rumble!

And at the same time.

There was a sonic boom heard in the air.

Achilles was shocked and turned around quickly.

Just before he could fully turn around, he caught a glimpse of a sword drenched in blood flying in mid-air with his peripheral vision. The sword was flying at breakneck speed to a point that there was a sonic boom on the tip of the blade!

Was that...

Jack?!

Achilles swiftly shifted his gaze towards Shawn and the middle-aged man's position. Splat!

Following a loud splitting sound, a huge amount of blood came showering down.

The lightning-fast sword penetrated the middle-aged man's neck effortlessly.

It was so fast that... no one reacted yet!

On the battlefield, the Foreign soldier was still approaching Achilles cautiously.

Shawn was still shocked while looking at Achilles.

As the sword penetrated the middle-aged man's neck, a huge amount of blood splattered all over Shawn's body. The shockwave and the disgusting smell of blood immediately sent chills down to Shawn's spine.

At that moment.

His expression changed drastically, his neck was stiff like a machine, as he slowly turned his head.

The middle-aged man was still sitting on his horse. But amid a snowstorm, the sword that had been drenched in blood had penetrated his neck. As warm blood flowed down the blade profusely. That throw was extremely fast!

To the point that before the middle-aged man could react, he had already kicked the bucket.

At the next moment.

"Ahhh!"

Shawn was completely blown away. With the already weakened mind, the scene he witnessed in front of him was the last straw that caused him to break down.

Run!

'I must escape!'

These ten thousand soldiers couldn't even protect me!

They... are like devils. Came from the purgatory to claim my soul!

He claimed the General's head from ten thousand soldiers. These ten thousand soldiers were like nothing to him!

The broken-down and frantic Shawn's mind, had only one thought left.

At that moment, he was like a madman, with his expression distorted and filled with terror. He turned his horse around and fled from his army.

With him fleeing from the battlefield.

The Foreign soldiers that didn't know what was going on were stunned. And then they noticed the middle-aged man who was still riding his horse with a sword stuck in his neck. And then, this side of the battlefield erupted with confusion and outcry.

"Ahhh! General, the General is dead...,"

"It's over! It's all over... our General is dead, he is sacrificed..."

"What a devil! Oh heavens, what happened?"

All of the Foreign soldiers were in extreme distress and fear, just like Shawn.

The head of the General was slain on the battlefield!

From the dawn of humanity, this was a devastating strike on the battlefield!

The kill of the General was what it took to cause the army to crumble, and collapsed their morale!

What was more, the ten thousand Foreign armies did not come from a single tribe. Instead, it was a coalition of dozens of tribes!

It was all because of the General's effort, so that dozens of tribes finally worked together as one!

And with the death of the middle-aged man from a sword throw by Jack, the whole coalition of Foreign army collapsed into chaos.

And there were even some soldiers who immediately fled from the battlefield!

Even with those that were smart and brave and didn't run away also, they were dumbfounded.

"This... this is enough to be called an Outstanding General!"

Achilles turned his head around and looked at Jack, who was still brawling with The Expendable Wolfs, his eyes flickered a sharp light.

Jack's sword was not seen on his shoulder, as he wielded two short swords and went on rampaging.

But in the eyes of Achilles, he couldn't help but be filled with plaudits, "He has the potential of becoming the Commander."

With these words, it was the highest honour of praise in the three hundred thousand strong Dragon Cavalry!

In contrast of Zenith's position and power, Achilles was comparing Jack with Zenith. This kind of glory was incomparable in the Dragon Cavalry!

Even he had never dreamed of comparing himself with Zenith!

As he withdrew his gaze, Achilles morosely looked at Shawn who had fled.

As the General was killed and the battlefield was chaotic.

It also took a lot of pressure off him.

He took a deep breath as Achilles wanted to test something he had thought about.

But not before his shout.

Wham bam...

There was a series of violent crashes.

Followed that were also countless sounds of screaming and wailing.

Before Achilles could turn around, there was a sudden neighing of a horse behind him.

Thump!

Achilles felt the earth trembled violently behind him, and a fierce gust of wind sprang up.

Almost instinctively, he bowed down while looking up.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

In his sight.

He saw Jack was straddling his horse with swords in his hand and blood all over his body. In a dominating and unparallel stance. He jumped over him above his head.0000000☐☐☐☐
