Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Chapter 771

At the end of the battle, the Birch Pass seemed to be washed with blood. It ended with Luther losing his life and Shawn getting
severely injured. Shawn had been lying on the bed almost to the point of being lifeless. His face writhed in pain as he struggled
to get up. Just then Joshua knocked the acupuncture point in Shawn's neck. As a result, the latter passed out and was forced to
have a rest.
"The Black Flag Army still has me, so you don't need to strain yourself so much," Joshua said in a low yet decisive tone, glancing
at Shawn who was in sleep. Joshua then, turned to Mathew and asked, "Your Highness, shall we continue to attack?"
Mathew tapped his index finger on the table unconsciously as he said, "Yes, continue attacking the pass. Use the best of the
crossbows and also launch fire attacks."
Upon the order, Joshua's eyes lit up in excitement. He said, "Yes, Your Highness. I will make all the necessary arrangements
right away."
The Black Flag Army was well equipped with upgraded armaments and improved crossbows. However, from where these

bare hands.
But what happened next frightened Francis to the core. The Black Flag Army started shooting arrows with fire jet inside the pass.

After this, Mathew's motive was clear. All he wanted was to destroy the entire Birch Pass and put an end to the lives of the
people who lived there without even leaving a burial place for them.
"Matthew Jun!" Francis muttered through his gritted teeth, clenching his palm into a tight fist. It was as if all hell broke loose
inside the Birch Pass as the fire wreaked havoc. The already blood washed pass was almost lit up in the fire. People were seen

Francis' pupils moved at the very mention of Harper. He creased his eyebrows and looked at Becky from the corner of his eyes
and asked, "Is Harper still alive?"
"I'm sure she must be alive. That woman is so cunning and contriving. There is a saying that evil people have a long life. She
must be safe and sound now. Perhaps she is hiding somewhere and waiting to see you get burnt to death at the Birch Pass."
Becky played it smart. She knew that the only person who could make Francis move out of his obstinacy was Harper. Even
though his mind would be filled with hatred, at the least, his life could be saved. As long as he was alive, there was hope for
them to strike back.
