Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 913

Shawn gathered all his generals and had an emergency meeting. Rolando was already here, but they still hadn't heard from Matthew yet. Shawn was worried that their prince wouldn't get back to the Dragon Pass in time, ultimately leading to their defeat. He remembered the time when Rolando was still the crown prince of the Great Jade Kingdom and how people feared him. Now that he was their emperor, he ignored his own safety and personally appeared on the battlefield.

Shawn knew that as an emperor, Rolando only had hostile intentions for them. If Rolando didn't come, Shawn and his soldiers might have time to rest. After all, Toby, the one leading them before Rolando showed up, was injured badly. They would surely halt their attacks for a few days to let him recover. Unfortunately for them, Rolando was already there.

"What are you afraid of, My Lord? So what if Emperor Rolando came? We have amazing explosives! Why not just use that and send him straight to heaven? We shouldn't be afraid of him. If anything, he should be afraid of us!" the deputy general, Harry Zhong, said excitedly.

Shawn looked at the other subordinates and all of them were on the same cloud nine as Harry Zhong was. It seemed like all of them stopped having fears once they saw how powerful Harper's mud balls were.

"We have used up all our bombs," he suddenly declared. And just like that, it seemed like Shawn poured cold water over his subordinates' burning fire. It was almost comical how each of them stiffened up, their eyes wide with surprise and fear.

"Used up?" one subordinate repeated.

"Yes, that is right. We have used all of our mud balls in our trap yesterday. Because of that, we will have to work hard in besting them in hand-to-hand combat. We only used our huge bombs in hopes that it will shock the Great Jade Kingdom for a period of time, giving us a bit of time to rest and wait for Prince Matthew. Unfortunately for us, Emperor Rolando has already appeared, which means that we won't be able to frighten the enemy for too long," Shawn explained casually.

"Can't we make new bombs after we've really used them all up? My Lord, I think we can do that! I believe that it is a nice strategy as we won't have to meet them on the battlefield ourselves. We can save many of our men!" a subordinate suggested.

"Make bombs? Do you know how to make one?" Shawn asked, smiling.

The deputy general who suggested that blushed out of embarrassment, but quickly recovered. "No, I can't, My Lord," he responded. "But who made those bombs anyway? Can't we tell them to make more?"

"The person who made the bombs is now trapped in the Great Jade Kingdom. I gathered all of you today because I wanted to tell you not to be complacent. Our bombs have run out, and now, the fight will only get harder. Rolando is on par with our Prince Matthew, which means he is incredibly skilled and can take all of us down in an instant."
