Rolando launched fierce attacks against the forces of Bright Dynasty stationed at the Dragon Pass continuously for many days
and nights that Shawn started to grow exhausted in dealing with them. Shawn decided to wait for them to get tired or run out of
supplies, but it seemed like it would not happen, as the morale of the soldiers from the Great Jade Kingdom were at an all-time
high, mainly because their emperor was fighting alongside them.
"General, with the Great Jade Kingdom continuously attacking us, I'm afraid our surviving men will die of exhaustion, not of war
violence," the deputy general said with great anxiety.
Shawn couldn't be more aware of that. Furthermore, he had already tried to manage what he had: he divided his soldiers into
three teams and ordered them to fight on the battlefield alternately. But even so, they still couldn't stand the violent attacks from
Rolando's army. They were going to die if the attacks didn't stop.
"General! General! General!" one guard called out as he hurried upstairs. "The reinforcements are here!"
"Reinforcements are here!" All of them breathed a collective sigh of relief. "How many soldiers came?" Shawn asked.
"Well—two..." the messenger replied gingerly. He was telling the truth, though—only two people came. And out of the two, one

calm his nerves down. "Is His Majesty crazy or what? Did he really send two people as our support? Doesn't he know that we
are fighting against Emperor Rolando?"

we need not worry. With him around, we'll defend this place for at least half a month!" "What? General, who came?" the deputy general asked in confusion. "Prime Minister Zack Bu." Surprise appeared on the deputy general's face and soon, his previously troubled visage outwardly became relieved. Zack was an equivalent of a thousand—if not more—soldiers,

group of people and assist Prime Minister Zack at once."
"Yes, deputy general."
Benjamin Wu was now commanding the Great Jade Kingdom's army towards the city gates in an attempt to better organize their
attacks against Bright Dynasty. His emperor was right—the number of explosives Shawn had was limited, and it seemed like he
had already used all of them up as he hadn't utilized it for the past few days. Now, what they needed to do was to successfully
break into Dragon Pass before Shawn's reinforcements arrived.

told him. "Do you think their reinforcement have already arrived?" "That's impossible. I just got information from our spies that their reinforcements are still hundreds of miles away. We have already sent people to stop them. There is no way they'd be here this early." "Is Prince Matthew back here, in Dragon Pass?"
