Female Novel
Chapter 883 A Piece of Insignia
It was only a brief engagement.
But it was enough for remaining dozen or so soldiers of Oirat Squad. They were all terrified.
And now they were trying their best to run away.
Jack and the others were ruthlessly chasing behind them, and they would not want to face them. It
would be a one-sided massacre!
Achilles was the first person caught up with Oirat Squad. Without any hesitation, he effortlessly killed a
Oirat soldier.
He did not even fight back and died while trying to escape. Until death, the only thing the Oirat soldier
could do was screaming desperately.novelbin
Jack’s eyes fired up when he witnessed everything that had happened.
Perhaps… This was the true meaning of a total rout.
Before this, he was not too sure about what it meant.
But now when he was experiencing everything first-hand, watching everything that was happening
before him, he realized this word was very fitting for the situation right now.
Consecutively, Debut who was trailing behind Achilles, caught up with the Oirat Squad too.
Jack, Cole and Yarol also followed closely behind.
Even though Jack and the rest were lesser in numbers, they still won the battle without any suspense.
It was an unbalanced fight.
The killing sounds was roaring through the wind and snow.
In a blink of an eye, the battle came to an end.
When the battle ended.
Jack sat on the war horse and calmly looked at everything in front of him.
Blood, dead bodies, and even corpses of war horses, armors scattered everywhere…
When everything was over, after he had calmed down, he felt as if he was dreaming.
Although the short encounter seemed threatening with no actual danger, everyone was exhausted from
the battle.
Achilles, Debut and the others all dismounted from their horses, and rested on the snowfield.
Yarol and Cole was obviously the weakest among them. When they sat on the ground, they were
gasping for breath and sweating endlessly.
Compared to them, Debut was slightly better. After he took a few breaths, he took out some medical
bandage and dressed Yarol’s wounds.
After taking a breather, Debut, Yarol and Cole started cleaning up the battlefield.
All of these… were military merits!
Achilles did not move at all, he gazed intensely at Jack who was still sitting on his horse.
Periodically, he would show signs of admiration from his brooding eyes.
For two men, sometimes they could just resolve their contradiction in an instant.
This was especially true for military personnel!
Perhaps, one battle was enough for them to bury the hatchet.
This was how Achilles felt. From the short battle just now, Achilles saw how imperious Jack was.
Therefore, he was slowly putting down the matter that had happened from before.
“As expected, a gifted man can shine wherever he goes.”
Achilles murmured quietly, with a voice only he could hear.
Unlike Debut and the other two people, Achilles knew everything about Jack.
And that understanding was the reason why he uttered those words out with mixed feelings.
“Jack, let’s drink!”
Achilles took a goatskin sack from his waist, opened the cork, raised his head and drank it. Then, he
threw the sack to Jack.
Jack caught the sack with his hands. He could smell a tempting aroma coming out from the sack. He
asked hesitantly, “Mr. White, we are still halfway through our mission, is this appropriate?”
“Why is it inappropriate? If I say it is fine, then it will not be a problem. In this kind of winter, how can we
get rid of the cold if we don’t get some alcohol in our stomach?”
Achilles waved his hand and laughed boldly, “Don’t you worry. I know the rules. I have seen better days
before. The Dragon Cavalry has strict rules, and military orders allows no disobedience. However, in
this case, a small sip does not really matter.”
He gave the explanation, with a slight hint of self-mockery.
This made Jack felt somewhat awkward.
He was the one who replaced Achilles’ Chief Guard’s position.
Seeing that Jack was still a little hesitant, Achilles laughed and said, “Relax, this is our first battle.
Everyone did well so we should drink and celebrate!”
Upon said that, Achilles look towards Debut, Yarol and Cole. He laughed and said, “Guys, Jack
performed the best in the battle today. There is only so much liquor, so we should let him drink a bit
more. Are you all okay with it?”
“As long as I get to drink!”
Debut smiled fatuously and said.
Yarol and Cole also smiled while they shook their heads.
From the battle just now, everyone could see that.
Even though five of them fought together, the two most crucial person was Jack and Achilles.
Achilles single-handedly handled the major part of the forces, lifting most of the pressure of them.
As for Jack, he came out unexpectedly like a dark horse, dominatingly killing Oirat soldiers one after
another, completely destroying their morale. And as such, they sealed the victory for this short battle.
Especially for Yarol who was injured in the battle. If Jack had not came any sooner for him, instead of
just suffering a small injury, he could have perished on the stop.
No one refuted Achilles’ words.
They even thought that what Achilles had said made total sense.
In the military, this was a norm. Whoever gets more credit deserved more reward.
This had nothing to do with the worldly sophistication stuff, or those unneeded mutual scheming.
Everything was about the credit!
Seeing everyone smiling at him, Jack let out a warm smile as well. He leaned his head back and took a
big gulp from the goatskin sack.
The cold liquor was rough. It went down from the throat, passing the gullet and when it finally reached
the stomach, a warm sensation was felt within it.
In this cold and winterly weather, it felt really comfortable.
Then, Jack tossed the goatskin sack towards Debut.
After Debut, Yarol and Cole drank the liquor.
There was only a small portion of liquor left in the goatskin sack, and it all went into Achilles’ stomach.
After taking a short break.
The gang went in deeper and continued on with their scout and patrol mission.
The battle just now was as though a small pebble thrown into calm waters. After stirring up a small
ripple, the water returned back to its calmness.
This was quite rare in the military.
However, for Debut, Yarol and Cole, they were not surprised at all.
Not to mention, they were now at the most dangerous and most ruthless part of the northern region.
This kind of battle was quite common in this place.
However, after the battle just now, Achilles became more alert and vigilant. At least for now, he slowed
down and did not rushing recklessly as before.
“Mr. White, I found something quite peculiar just now. You want to have a look at it?”
Cole caught up with Achilles and took out a peculiar looking Insignia. At the edges of the Insignia,
sheepskin was wrapped around. He threw the Insignia towards Achilles.
Jack was riding alongside Achilles, so he was able to see how the Insignia looked like.
It was a common piece of Insignia made of wood. The edges were wrapped with sheepskin, and some
inscription was engraved on the surface of the Insignia.
However due to the distance and the snowstorm, Jack was not able to see clearly.
No matter how he looked at it, there was nothing wrong with the Insignia. At the most, it would just be
an identity badge.
Frankly speaking, if Cole, the professional scout, was not the one cleaning up the battlefield, even Jack
would have missed this piece of Insignia.
With that being said.
When Achilles got a hold on the Insignia and took a few looks at it.
His face expression suddenly changed drastically. He reined his horse and stopped moving.
“Hush…”
Jack and the others were taken aback with the sudden scene.
And as a result, the four of them galloped ahead a short distance away from Achilles.
When they all reined their horse and stopped.
The four of them all turned around to Achilles, looking confused.
In a serious tone, Achilles said, “Stop the scout and patrol missing now. Head back instantly to
Thegiant now!”
