Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 770

"General, would you like to accept the challenge?" the deputy general asked.

"Who is the enemy's general that will lead the first attack?" Luther asked in a low voice. He had never expected that he would one day stand on the other side, as a traitor facing against the army of the Bright Dynasty.

"It is said to be General Shawn."

When Luther heard that, his eyes shined a bit. 'So it's him, ' he thought. With a smirk, he then commanded, "Give the order and get ready to fight."

"Luther, close the gates and keep watch," Francis commanded when Luther approached him.

Upon hearing this, Luther turned around and looked at Francis with the same serious expression on his face. "Your Highness, the enemy's leader in this battle is General Shawn," he said.

Francis was taken aback by the unexpected news. He couldn't believe what he just heard. Shawn, who was supposed to be in the north domain, had come to the south domain? When did he arrive? A lot of questions were on his mind but he only said one of them. "Why did he come here?"

"Presumably, ever since Prince Matthew started preparing to come here, he has already chosen a person to be in charge of the south domain." A complex expression flashed through Luther's eyes before he added, "I just didn't expect it to be General Shawn."

"No, it isn't him. He isn't the one whom Matthew has chosen!" Standing on the city gate tower, Francis looked at the dark clouds gathering in the sky. With an aura of destroying everything on its way, the clouds weren't far from them. "Shawn is coming here to make the first move."

Luther was a person of great discernment. He instantly realized that there were two valiant generals from the north domain: General Shawn, and the rising newcomer, General Carlson!

Carlson was a member of the royal family. He was Prince Allen's son and the current emperor's cousin, so he was the most suitable candidate to take charge of the south domain. Although Shawn's family had done a great favor for the late emperor, they didn't come from the exclusive royal bloodline.

"He indeed favors Lucas!" Francis exclaimed with a sneer. 'You have even figured out how to get rid of the malignant tumor hidden in the south domain. Do you really have no ambition, Matthew? If you don't, why did you even train your soldiers? Why did you disobey the orders of the late emperor, making him afraid of you? If so, will Lucas tolerate you when he's in power?'

"Your Highness, please allow me to fight," Luther asked with utmost sincerity and a hint of desperation. If he could fight against General Shawn, he wouldn't have regrets even if he died doing so.

Francis closed his eyes when he replied, "Come back alive. Luther, right now, you're the only one I have left. My brother Jason is gone, and she's... You must come back alive."

Luther didn't respond right away for he wasn't sure if he could come back alive. He also didn't want to disappoint Francis in giving him false hopes. "I will try my best," he said after a while.
