Forensic Imperial Concubine

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 from? To say that it was incredibly strange would be an understatement.

"Princess Lilian is an assassin sent by the Bright Dynasty to kill His Majesty. 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 succeed in doing that, they would murder him, which would throw the Great Jade Kingdom in endless turmoil. If that happened, they would go in and try to wrestle the throne away from its righteous inheritor. This plan deeply hurt His Majesty. Because of that, we must make the Bright Dynasty pay. We have to seek justice for our king," Toby explained.

"Was... His Majesty injured?"

"Yes."
