Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 921

It was the first time the Great Jade Kingdom suffered such a huge loss ever since Rolando arrived to lead them against the Bright Dynasty. Rolando's face was devoid of any expression, and Benjamin was so stunned and afraid that he didn't even dare take a deep breath. He remembered how the general had told him that something had changed with their enemies, but he didn't take it seriously. The result of that non-compliance had led them to this position, and he was extremely regretful.

"Someone from the Bright Dynasty has come," Rolando declared flatly. As for who it was, he gave it a thought and figured out that that person could not be Matthew. If he was already here, he would definitely come out and challenge him, one-on-one. It also could not be Felton, as he was not a person of the imperial court. Besides, since the annihilation of the Qin Clan was related to the royal families of the four kingdoms, he would not dare help any imperial court in public. 'It's someone from the Bright Dynasty's imperial capital,' Rolando said inwardly.

"Your Majesty, I know that the people from the Bright Dynasty are vicious, but I have never seen them like this."

"This is the battlefield. You can't judge anyone based on their actions, as everyone is only operating under orders, or for their survival. It's Zack. Zack has arrived," Rolando said quietly.

"Who is Zack?" Everyone began to ask, as they had never heard of him. "How would he be able to lead the Bright Dynasty's army just like that?" one even asked.

"You haven't heard of Zack before, but I'm sure you're familiar with the Bright Dynasty's Bu Clan. Zack is the present head of that clan, as well as the youngest grand secretary of his country. He is smart and meticulous, two attributes needed for a battle, but I didn't expect that Lucas is willing to send him to the battlefield," Rolando said after ruling out everyone who might have come to the Dragon Pass to help the Bright Dynasty. With the intelligence report that he had gotten, it seemed Zack came on his own, as his men hadn't seen any sign of an army that accompanied him.

"Six men from the Bu Clan worked as the grand secretary of the Bright Dynasty's imperial court." The military counsellor remembered the rumor he heard from the Bright Dynasty. It was said that even if the royal family was overthrown, the Bu Clan wouldn't. They said it was because the Bu Clan had a longer history than that royal family themselves.

Benjamin was a military official, so he didn't know much about civil officials. Since the military officials were destined to fight on the battlefield, they just knew the famous and most impressive military generals. They had heard of all the well-known generals in the Bright Dynasty, but hadn't paid much attention to its civil officials.

"Zack cannot be underestimated. He is more cunning than a normal citizen, maybe even some of our top officials," Rolando said. He and Zack made acquaintance in the Holy Chant Temple. They became friends, and would often play Go, which would always end up in a draw despite both of them carefully mapping out their tactics.

'He always cares for the people around him. How did he stomach attacking my men with wood oil?' Rolando thought, his brows now tightly knitted. All of a sudden, his eyes lit up. Chuckling, he said, "I almost forgot that Zack is not a saint with no desires of his own. He has his bottom line, and I may have already stepped on it."

"Bottom line? What is it?"

"He and Harper are sworn friends. If it weren't from Matthew's tricks and whatnot, he might have been the one Harper married," Rolando replied.
