Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 919

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? 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 our support? Doesn't he know that we are fighting against Emperor Rolando?"

"Who are they? Did you recognize 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 would be heartbroken if any of them was killed.

"A man with a servant by his side. He didn't tell us who he was. He just asked me to give this note to the general." The messenger promptly gave the note to Shawn.

Shawn opened it at once and read it carefully. Suddenly, a bemused smile appeared on his face. "I didn't expect that he would really come. Now, we need not worry. With him around, we'll defend this place for at least half a month!"

"What? General, who came?" the deputy general asked in confusion.

"Prime Minister Zack Bu."

Surprise appeared on the deputy general's face and soon, his previously troubled visage outwardly became relieved. Zack was an equivalent of a thousand—if not more—soldiers, and his presence alone could up their morale at an all-time high. Shawn also revealed what was in the letter, saying: "General Maxwell will arrive soon with a hundred thousand soldiers. Zack is asking us to hold on for a while, and he is still preparing the weapons that would repeal the enemies."
