Chapter 888 Coalition Order, The Top Secret In The Dragon Cavalry


    Leaving the Military Merit Office.


    The five of them did not linger for long, and went straight back to their barracks.


    Debut suggested that they should have a celebration.


    After all, it was their first Supreme Merit in Earthly Hierarchy in the Cavalry. Such an asion should


    be celebrated grandly.


    However, Achilles shook his head, and suggested that buying some meat and wine was sufficient


    enough as a celebration.


    This confused Debut and the others, even Jack was confused.


    Supreme Merit in Earthly Hierarchy was an achievement only surpassed by Heavenly Hierarchy.


    Why was Achilles so humble?


    Seeing as the four of them was eyeing him, he exined while smiling, “It’s just that I don’t want


    something like Shawn’s incident happening again. Back in the days when I was a Chief Guard, I pissed


    off a lot of people, and now I got thrown down to this rank here by the Commander. Even though I know


    a lot of people, there could still be people who want to take revenge on me, just like what happened to


    Shawn. if we’d went to the tavern, we’lle off as bastards that are showing off.”


    After a while, Achilles shrugged, “Also, this time, our achievement was too great, ironically. There are


    bound to be people that are upset with our exploits.”


    With his exnation, Jack and the others also came to that realization.


    Achilles was right.


    It did not take much work for them to get the Supreme Merit in Earthly Hierarchy.


    They were certain that not everyone would congratte them sincerely.


    The Dragon Cavalry consisted of three hundred thousand men, all of them shaped by Zenith to be an


    invincible super-soldier. Normally, the inner thoughts of these people were very hard to predict.


    “Debut and the rest of you, go and buy some nice food and wine. Sergeant White and I will go back to


    our barracks first,” Jack said.


    The three of them nodded and left for the tavern.


    Achilles looked at Jack instead, smiled helplessly and said, “I knew it, you want to ask me something,


    don’t you?”


    “Let’s go, we’ll talk along the way.”


    Jack shrugged while smiling, “Come on now, do me a favour and tell me about it.”


    Achilles smiled in return, not rejecting Jack’s request.

    Even if he didn’t tell Jack about it right now, Zenith would tell him sooner orter.


    However, Achilles kept his mouth shut during the journey back to their barracks.


    He asked Jack only when they were about to reach their camp, “What do you wanna know?”


    “What’s the deal with the insignia?”


    Jack asked straight to the point. Them being awarded the Supreme Merit in Earthly Hierarchy must be


    thanks to that insignia.


    “That is a verymon insignia, but it has a vastly different meaning behind it.”


    Achilles did not tell him immediately, and said in a deep tone, “Let’s put it this way, the ones that


    understand what that insignia means in the Dragon Cavalry are the Twelve Golden Guards and the


    Commander himself. Even for us, it took us two years before we knew the true meaning behind that


    insignia. It has always been a secret in the Cavalry!”


    “You need be at that high of a position just to understand it?”


    Even if he had guessed that that was the answer, after confirming it with Achilles, Jack couldn’t help but


    be surprised.


    “It has toorge of an influence, it might affect the morale of the troopers!”


    After checking their surroundings and made sure that no one was within earshot, Achilles whispered,


    “That is the Coalition Order!”


    Coalition Order!?


    Jack was shocked and curious.


    Achilles continued, “The hundreds foreign tribes had always been defeated by the Dragon Cavalry.


    Anyone who dares to step foot onto the border of the Northern Territories shall feel the wrath of the


    mighty Dragon Cavalry, and get driven back to where they belong.”


    He added, “I believe you’ve already experienced how windy and cold it is here, close to the border. The


    ce inhabited by the foreign tribes is also like this, but a helluva lot worse. Which is one of the reason


    why they’ve been trying to move southwards all these years.”


    “But, after all these years of trying to breach the border, basically all of the Families in the Northern


    Territories had gotten their asses handed to them by us. Also, we had observed that the conflicts


    around the border had been slowing down since two years ago. With that, Commander Harol brought


    the Twelve Golden Guards and went on a covert operation deep in the Northern Territories to find out


    what’s the situation.”


    Jack frowned, “And you guys found out about the Coalition Order during that operation?”


    “Yes!”


    Achilles nodded and even had a touch of anxiousness show on his gaze, “We found out that all these


    years of us dominating the foreign tribes, with all of them getting crushed one way or another, and none


    of them able to gain any ground against us, had lead to them forming an alliance with one another


    since two year ago. With all of the Families forming an alliance, the Coalition Order is created…”


    “Rumble!” sounded when Achilles finished his sentence.


    Despite that fact that he had lowered his voice to be barely audible by the both of them.


    Jack was still shocked as if lightning struck right next to him when Achilles said that.


    The foreign tribes Alliance…That was some groundbreaking news!


    One of the reasons for the border being an indestructible fortress all these years was thanks to Zenith


    Harol and his Dragon Cavalry!


    Other than that was the fact that the foreign tribes were divided and fought by their lonesome. Some of


    them even had rivalries with other Families.


    This also formed an awkward situation of internal conflicts. Every single one of them wanted to move


    southwards, and rushed headfirst onto the fortress that was the Dragon Cavalry.


    After headbutting the fortress and unsurprisingly being severely injured, they retreated back to the


    Northern Territories and fought with each other again.


    Even the few that managed to pull off something resembling an alliance were still utterly destroyed by


    the Dragon Cavalry.


    This time, however,…All of them were forming an alliance!


    If all of the foreign tribes were able to set aside their differences and rivalries, cooperate with each


    other, and all charged southwards at the same time…


    “Now I understand why you guys don’t want the news to spread.”


    Jack started worrying, “If this information got out, the morale of the entire Dragon Cavalry would be


    turned into soft, mushy mud!”


    Achilles put on a helpless smile, “We’ve been keeping an eye on the situation for the past two years.


    However, the foreign tribes were very sneaky about this, so it was extremely hard for us to notice their


    actions and figure out their directions. On the flip side, thanks to their internal conflicts, their rivalries


    couldn’t be resolved immediately. Which is why it took two years for them to finally form an alliance.”


    “So, is this why you had such a massive reaction when you saw the Coalition Order? And immediately


    reported it to the Commander?” asked Jack.


    Achilles nodded in agreement, “The Oirat tribe is not considered to be a strong tribe by any means. We


    mopped the floor with their asses with both eyes closed back then and destroyed their morale. This


    time, they were daring enough to scout out the southern part of the South Giant City and carried


    Coalition Order on their bodies. If more people knew this, it would be less than desirable to say the


    least.”


    Jack’s eyes shined as realization hit him like a truck.


    A tribe that was destroyed by the Dragon Cavalry was undoubtedly a homeless dog.


    When said homeless dog came back to fight the tiger that destroyed it before with unforeseen courage,


    they were probably not just feeling courageous for the heck of it, they probably had someone backing


    them!


    “Maybe after two years, they did seed in pulling off an alliance.” Jack muttered under his breath.


    Achilles nodded with a heavy heart, looked anxious and said, “When I reported this to the Commander,


    even he was shocked. For our discovery, we should be awarded something higher than a Supreme


    Merit in Earthly Hierarchy, such as a Heavenly Hierarchy, that should be sufficient. Commander Harol


    also wanted to keep your identity hidden, so he decided to lower the level of our award!”
