Forensic Imperial Concubine

"What is going on?" each soldier screamed as they tried to hide from the invisible enemy. The Great Jade Kingdom's previously impeccable formation quickly spiraled into chaos as the surviving soldiers in the frontlines kept retreating in fear of being blown up by the unpredictable explosions. Within minutes, their forces had already lost a lot of men.

Shawn only stared coldly as he continued to attack and decimate the number of the invading forces. He felt like a devil, but in the grander scheme of things, he knew he was only doing the right thing.

The deputy general was petrified. Slowly, he turned his wide eyes from the massacre that was happening below due to the box that was by Shawn's side. He never thought such things held that much power! Shawn had only launched a dozen of the mud balls at the Great Jade Kingdom's army, but he had already halved the number of their soldiers. His men were also wide-eyed at what was happening.

Toby was on the ground trying to make sense of things when a blast went off and he was swept away by its accompanying air wave. Immediately, his ears felt like they were shot, with buzzing, the only thing he could hear. He touched his head to check for injuries, and indeed, he was already bleeding.

"What happened?" Toby roared.

"General, people from the Bright Dynasty are attacking us!" The soldiers who were close to Toby dragged him back hurriedly, worried about his safety. Toby felt his blood churning. In the dark night, he raised his head to look at the upper floor of the city gate tower, where Shawn was standing.

"Shawn Shen, you bastard! What are you doing? What are you attacking us with?" Toby was anything but a damned fool. He knew that Shawn had something to do with these nightmarish attacks. What he didn't understand, however, was what he was using. As far as he knew, no weapon had been made that could kill so many people at once!

The cold look Shawn donned on his face made him look like a devil. With his internal force he was able to amplify his voice across the land as he said: "Toby, the people of the Bright Dynasty are not afraid of you and your puny army. The Great Jade Kingdom has destroyed the alliance between the two kingdoms, and now you have started this war. We will respond as needed, as you have seen. This is a lesson for you—retreat now and live, or continue on and perish."
