Chapter 905 The Secret Weapon (Part One)
Since the general leading the Great Jade Kingdom''s army in the Dragon Pass was not Rndo,
Shawn felt a bit relieved. If Rndo himself was there in person, Shawn knew that he and his army
would not stand a chance. So somehow, he was grateful that he would only be faced with Toby.
"Your Highness, Shawn is hiding inside the city and doesn''t respond to our attacks. Also, the Dragon
Pass is not an easy ce to conquer but a ce easier to defend due to its terrain. If we continue with
our current attacking n, we would suffer unimaginable losses." For three consecutive days. the
generals of different battalions gathered together to revise their ns of attack on the Dragon Pass, as
they still had not broken through the Bright Dynasty''s defense. In addition to that, they had already
suffered great losses.
"How many of Shawn''s men have we killed? Indeed, the Dragon Pass is easy to defend and extremely
difficult to be conquered. Shawn knows what he is doing, and he is making sure none of our ns can
break through their sturdy defense. But no matter whatever it costs, we need to conquer that city," Toby
said calmly.
The generals were still at a loss for how to effectively tackle their problem. If they tried to force an
attack, there was a high possibility that most of their men would be killed. When the former prince
Kevin was still guarding the Dragon Pass, it had been not as difficult to attack as it was now.
Unfortunately, his rebellion failed and Shawn took over the Northern Expeditionary Army. He then was
in charge of guarding the Dragon Pass, making it be a solid border with a hard barrier. Aside from
that, the defensive forces that were put around it had be ten times stronger.
"I don''t think a sudden and front attack is a good idea..."
"But what other choice do we have?" Toby asked coldly. He had been talking big to Rndo, but after
three days of attacks, he still had no result to show him. The Dragon Pass still hadn''t been conquered.
If Rndo knew about it, he wouldugh at him.
"Your Highness, if I may ask—doesn''t His Majesty want to announce the Bright Dynasty''s Princess
Lilian as his empress? If so, why is he attacking the Bright Dynasty? Wouldn''t that create unwanted
tensions and conflicts between the two kingdoms?" one general curiously asked. Well, it made sense—
why would the king of one kingdom attack the kingdom where his queen hailed from? To say that it was
incredibly strange would be an understatement.
"Princess Lilian is an assassin sent by the Bright Dynasty to kill His Majesty. They did offer a marriage
alliance, but it was in name only, revealing the fact that they just wanted to get close to His Majesty.
Once they seed in doing that, they would murder him, which would throw the Great Jade Kingdom
in endless turmoil. If that happened, they would go in and try to wrestle the throne away from its
righteous inheritor. This n deeply hurt His Majesty. Because of that, we must make the Bright
Dynasty pay. We have to seek justice for our king," Toby exined.

"Was... His Majesty injured?"
"Yes."
"The Bright Dynasty has gone too far!"
"We must continue attacking the city tonight so that by tomorrow, the Dragon Pass would be already
ours!" Since Toby sessfully riled up all of his generals, a menacing grin graced his lips. "Make sure
you catch Shawn. We have to kill him to worship our g!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Though the Great Jade Kingdom''s attacks and advancements against the Bright Dynasty in the Dragon
Pass wagered on, Shawn didn''t feel any kind of pressure. He felt nothing looking at his enemies
continuously toiling on the other side of the fortress, trying to break in, as everything on their side was
peaceful. Themon people inhabiting the area would even go up to them from time to time to offer
delicious homemade food or help in carrying their soldiers'' weapons.
"General, you haven''t slept for three days and nights. Please go and take a rest first. If you continue
doing this, you won''t be able to hang on. The Great Jade Kingdom seems to be intent on conquering
this area, so I think it will be a longst battle," the deputy general said, concerned.
Shawn shook his head and replied, "Judging by the current situation, the Great Jade Kingdom is
determined to defeat us here and take over the Dragon Pass. Their attacks will be relentless, so we
have to keep a close eye on the situation. I do not want us to bex and lose this battle—our kingdom
needs us. They are counting on our victory."
"But you have to take a rest!"
"I know, but it is not the time to rest now." Shawn then noticed the many flickering lights just outside the
city limits. With brows furrowed, he thought, ''Is Toby really going to attack the city tonight? A very good
idea, I must say. I should send him a big gift.''
"Go and fetch the things left by Princess Harper when she left." "The things left by Her Highness? Are
you referring to that ck box?" the deputy general inquired.
Shawn nodded. "That''s right. Go ahead and get it. I think it''s time for us to use it."
The deputy general was confused by what Shawn was ordering him to do, but since he was a soldier,
his primary mission was to obey. Without asking any more questions, he ordered his underlings to take
the said box out of Shawn''s room and put it in front of the city gate tower. As he climbed up, the deputy
general noticed the sheer number of soldiers seemingly advancing towards them. He felt his blood
freeze with fear.
Shawn immediately reached out his hand the moment he saw the box. "Firelighter," he ordered.
"Firelighter?" the deputy general asked. Secondster he realized that Shawn was asking him for a
firelighter, and so he went on to try every pocket on his clothes to find one. Unfortunately, he didn''t find
any, so he immediately asked someone else to fetch one. Within a few moments, a firelighter was
ced on Shawn''s waiting palm.
Shawn then opened the box and saw that it was chock full of ck mud balls. He took out one ball,
ignited it with the firelighter, and threw in the direction of the oing enemy soldiers.
The side of the deputy general''s lips twitched when he saw what Shawn was doing. ''General, are you
going crazy because you haven''t slept for three days and nights? What would a mud ball do in this
situation, exactly? Even if you ignite the whole box and throw down, it wouldn''t kill anyone! It probably
would just make a mess—'' Bang!
The fiery mud ball emitted a sound so loud that it actually shook the ground. Smoke filled the air, and
the moment it cleared, a spine-tingling scene came into view: a huge hole on the oing swarm of
enemies had appeared, with numerous soldiers spotted to either be extremely bloodied or blown up.
Everyone from the Great Jade Kingdom was taken aback by the sudden explosion. Their confusion
was worsened by the blood bath unveiled in front of them. They didn''t see anyone approach them, so
where was the enemy?
As the general realized what happened, he immediately gave out an order, saying: "There has been an
attack but please keep calm! Be mindful of yourselves and your fellow soldiers, and most of all, don''t
mess up the array!" However, as soon as he finished speaking, several more mud balls were thrown
into their general direction. mes and explosions began to happen and appear everywhere, with bits
of human flesh and dust flying and filling the air after every loud bang. Soon enough, no one could hear
a thing as their eardrums were blown out by the loud sounds of the mud ball explosions. The fires of
their torches also started to flicker due to the impact each bomb had.
