Since the general leading the Great Jade Kingdom's army in the Dragon Pass was not Rolando, Shawn felt a bit relieved. If
Rolando himself was there in person, Shawn knew that he and his army would not stand a chance. So somehow, he was grateful
that he would only be faced with Toby.
"Your Highness, Shawn is hiding inside the city and doesn't respond to our attacks. Also, the Dragon Pass is not an easy place
to conquer but a place easier to defend due to its terrain. If we continue with our current attacking plan, we would suffer
unimaginable losses." For three consecutive days. the generals of different battalions gathered together to revise their plans of
attack on the Dragon Pass, as they still had not broken through the Bright Dynasty's defense. In addition to that, they had
already suffered great losses.
"How many of Shawn's men have we killed? Indeed, the Dragon Pass is easy to defend and extremely difficult to be conquered.
Shawn knows what he is doing, and he is making sure none of our plans can break through their sturdy defense. But no matter
whatever it costs, we need to conquer that city," Toby said calmly.
The generals were still at a loss for how to effectively tackle their problem. If they tried to force an attack, there was a high
possibility that most of their men would be killed. When the former prince Kevin was still guarding the Dragon Pass, it had been
not as difficult to attack as it was now. Unfortunately, his rebellion failed and Shawn took over the Northern Expeditionary Army.
He then was in charge of guarding the Dragon Pass, making it become a solid border with a hard barrier. Aside from that, the
defensive forces that were put around it had become ten times stronger.
"I don't think a sudden and front attack is a good idea..."
"But what other choice do we have?" Toby asked coldly. He had been talking big to Rolando, but after three days of attacks, he

still had no result to show him. The Dragon Pass still hadn't been conquered. If Rolando knew about it, he would laugh at him.
"Your Highness, if I may ask—doesn't His Majesty want to announce the Bright Dynasty's Princess Lilian as his empress? If so,
why is he attacking the Bright Dynasty? Wouldn't that create unwanted tensions and conflicts between the two kingdoms?" one
general curiously asked. Well, it made sense—why would the king of one kingdom attack the kingdom where his queen hailed

They did offer a marriage alliance, but it was in name only, revealing the fact that they just wanted to get close to His Majesty. Once they

up all of his generals, a menacing grin graced his lips. "Make sure you catch Shawn. We have to kill him to worship our flag!" "Yes, Your Highness!" Though the Great Jade Kingdom's attacks and advancements against the Bright Dynasty in the Dragon Pass wagered on, Shawn didn't feel any kind of pressure. He felt nothing looking at his enemies continuously toiling on the other side of the fortress, trying to break in, as everything on their

"General, you haven't slept for three days and nights. Please go and take a rest first. If you continue doing this, you won't be able
to hang on. The Great Jade Kingdom seems to be intent on conquering this area, so I think it will be a long-last battle," the
deputy general said, concerned.
Shawn shook his head and replied, "Judging by the current situation, the Great Jade Kingdom is determined to defeat us here
and take over the Dragon Pass. Their attacks will be relentless, so we have to keep a close eye on the situation. I do not want us
to be lax and lose this battle—our kingdom needs us. They are counting on our victory."
"But you have to take a rest!"

city tonight? A very good idea, I must say. I should send him a big gift.' "Go and fetch the things left by Princess Harper when she left." "The things left by Her Highness? Are you referring to that black box?" the deputy general inquired.
