Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Chapter 928

It had been two days since a huge portion of the Great Jade Kingdom's army fell from the Bright Dynasty's attacks. Fernando
had no idea why the battle had been paused as soon as Zack arrived.
"Your Majesty, shall we commence attacking the enemy?"
Instead of responding, Rolando just ordered sternly, "Raise the tent and call the generals of the army. We will have a meeting."
After much calculation, he figured out that night was the night that they would conquer the Dragon Pass.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
As Rolando stopped staging any kind of attack against the Dragon Pass for the past two days, both Shawn and Zack were
starting to feel uneasy. Rolando wasn't someone easily frightened, nor was he someone who would just retreat out of fear of
further losses. His silence meant something, and they both knew it was part of a larger ploy.
"Shawn, it seems like a big storm is on the way. Is there still no news about His Highness?" Zack asked worriedly.
"No," Shawn replied somberly, shaking his head. Ever since he set sail for the Great Jade Kingdom, Matthew had never
contacted them. What was strange was even Harper hadn't made any contact with them. Diana was the first and only person
who sent a message to them during that period.
He then turned to an underling, saying in an authoritative tone, "Go around and tell everyone to stay alert. The Great Jade
Kingdom is not done, and may actually attack the city again soon. Never slack off!" Aside from that, he reminded his soldiers to
never let Rolando set foot in the Dragon Pass, no matter what happened.

It was midnight. Thick, ominous fog filled the area, and there were no stars in the sky. Darkness enveloped everything that one
could not even see his fingers once he stretched his arm out.
"The fog in this place is so thick," the soldiers on the city gate tower collectively complained. Under such weather, they wouldn't

When Shawn arrived at the gate tower, he heard the constant sound of a huge battering ram banging against their gates. As desperate times called for desperate measures, he shouted, "Use the bombs! Blow up the enemies near the city gates!" "No way! If we destroy the gates, it will do us no good!" Zack said, contradicting Shawn. "The gates would also be destroyed if we don't do anything! So

the time we need His Highness. If he still doesn't show up, we'll have no choice but to leave our destiny to God!" Shawn said
firmly.
Without any further ado, he ordered the bombs to be fetched and all of them to be thrown at the advancing enemy. The rumbling
was becoming louder and louder as more and more soldiers of the Great Jade Kingdom attacked the city gates. Despite the first
bomb detonating, the fog didn't dissipate.
"Your Majesty, they're using the bombs again. Should we continue attacking the city?" Benjamin asked in astonishment.
"Go on." And with that, Rolando took his bow and arrows from the back of his horse and targeted the sparkling falling mud balls.

Since the bombs had exploded at the very beginning, there had been no further explosion. Shawn had a grim expression, but Zack immediately had his men boil water and then dump the hot water down from the city wall. This move would greatly
