Forensic Imperial Concubine

Chapter 919 Reinforcements Arrived (Part One)

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 was a frail scholar, who seemed like he would fall unconscious out of the blue at any time. Such reinforcements were no use to them!

The tone of the deputy general turned from pleasant surprise to unmatched horror. "Wait, I might have heard you wrong. Can you repeat what you just said? How many reinforcements came?"

"Two."

What the hell! How would two people help us?!" the deputy general bellowed. He massaged his temples in an attempt to calm his nerves down. "Is His Majesty crazy or what? Did he really send two people as

any of them?" Shawn asked curiously. He was sure that his emperor knew that Dragon Pass was in great danger, so even though only two people came, he felt that they couldn't not be underestimated. Somehow, somewhere deep inside him, he knew who the two might be. He, however, doubted it as his emperor

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.

Though he, too, noticed that the enemy soldiers seemed to be acting more confident abruptly, he believed that it was only because they thought their reinforcements were coming soon.
