Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Chapter 923

Soon after Zack arrived in the Dragon Pass, the Great Jade Kingdom stopped attacking the Bright Dynasty. With the warring
sides ceasing all their attacks against each other, the area quieted down, though eerily. The blood-soaked soil on the battlefield
was also a grim reminder that the peace was short-lived, and could be shattered at any minute.
At that same time, Maxwell, who was leading the Bright Dynasty's reinforcements to the Dragon Pass, was starting to feel
helpless. They still had to pass a river wide enough to drown every one of his men. A stone bridge had initially been set across it
to help people traverse it, but due to the heavy downpour in the past few days, the said bridge had been destroyed. This forced
them to wait until it was repaired.
"General, I'm afraid it will take days before we can cross this river," one of Maxwell's generals reported.
A grim expression contorted Maxwell's face, as he walked towards the river to see how damaged the bridge was. To him, the

The bridge hadn't been thoroughly washed out—some stones still remained so that a martial artist who was equipped with the

At that point, he admitted that Zack had the amazing gift for foresight. He was with them when they started the journey, but he
decided to break from the group and go first. If he continued traveling with them, then he might have also been stranded, which

If there is none, we have no choice but to make one," said Maxwell calmly. "Ask the troops to find ropes. The thicker, the better." "Yes, My Lord." With the ropes, the soldiers were ordered to make some kind of a net. After that, the few soldiers who had great flying skills were asked to fly over the river to tie one end of the net over there. When that got

Their journey could not be delayed any longer— Rolando was treacherous, and even if Zack had reached the Dragon Pass, they couldn't slack

Dynasty protecting the Dragon Pass had already lost many men, so they needed to be there as soon as possible.
"Yes, general!"
Maxwell knew that Rolando wouldn't let them get to the Dragon Pass that easily, but he also knew that he couldn't be too careful
as it would only slow them down. He also knew that they couldn't afford to be separated, as once they did, they would be
vulnerable to any attacks launched by the Great Jade Kingdom. They needed to get to the Dragon Pass as a whole, as their
kingdom needed them to be.
