Chapter 906 The Secret Weapon (Part Two)


    "What is going on?" each soldier screamed as they tried to hide from the invisible enemy. The Great


    Jade Kingdom''s previously impable formation quickly spiraled into chaos as the surviving soldiers in


    the frontlines kept retreating in fear of being blown up by the unpredictable explosions. Within minutes,


    their forces had already lost a lot of men.


    Shawn only stared coldly as he continued to attack and decimate the number of the invading forces. He


    felt like a devil, but in the grander scheme of things, he knew he was only doing the right thing.


    The deputy general was petrified. Slowly, he turned his wide eyes from the massacre that was


    happening below due to the box that was by Shawn''s side. He never thought such things held that


    much power! Shawn had onlyunched a dozen of the mud balls at the Great Jade Kingdom''s army,


    but he had already halved the number of their soldiers. His men were also wide-eyed at what was


    happening.


    Toby was on the ground trying to make sense of things when a st went off and he was swept away


    by its apanying air wave. Immediately, his ears felt like they were shot, with buzzing, the only


    thing he could hear. He touched his head to check for injuries, and indeed, he was already bleeding.


    "What happened?" Toby roared.


    "General, people from the Bright Dynasty are attacking us!" The soldiers who were close to Toby


    dragged him back hurriedly, worried about his safety. Toby felt his blood churning. In the dark night, he


    raised his head to look at the upper floor of the city gate tower, where Shawn was standing.


    "Shawn Shen, you bastard! What are you doing? What are you attacking us with?" Toby was anything


    but a damned fool. He knew that Shawn had something to do with these nightmarish attacks. What he


    didn''t understand, however, was what he was using. As far as he knew, no weapon had been made


    that could kill so many people at once!


    The cold look Shawn donned on his face made him look like a devil. With his internal force he was able


    to amplify his voice across thend as he said: "Toby, the people of the Bright Dynasty are not afraid of


    you and your puny army. The Great Jade Kingdom has destroyed the alliance between the two


    kingdoms, and now you have started this war. We will respond as needed, as you have seen. This is a


    lesson for you—retreat now and live, or continue on and perish."


    Toby''s eyes widened with surprise and anger. As he heard Shawn admit causing the explosions that


    had killed his men, his body began to tremble. He wanted to retaliate, but he knew that the wisest thing


    he could do at the moment was to retreat.


    They had expected that their sudden attack would yield a different oue, but they had to retreat and


    deal with the great and unprecedented losses they incurred. More urgently, they needed to know what


    had caused the sudden explosions.


    "Did anyone see clearly what happened at that time?" Toby inquired after being tended to in their camp.


    If Shawn really had powerful weapons, it would be difficult for them to conquer the Dragon Pass.


    "General, the enemy seemed to have thrown explosive stones to our men. I saw it with my own two


    eyes. The stones had sparks," someone shared, looking scared.


    "It''s not a stone. It was a mud ball that had been ignited. I saw when Shawn threw it," someone else


    interjected.


    "Could a mud ball do this much harm?" Toby asked angrily. These people thought he was either foolish


    or easily cheated. If a mud ball could inflict so much damage, he would have made a lot of mud balls


    beforehand and killed Shawn!


    The crowd looked at each other and didn''t know how to answer. They really didn''t know what happened


    in the darknessst night. The explosions were so sudden that none of them really had time to process


    what was happening.


    "How about we have another try in the daytime to see what kind of method Shawn used? I doubt he''ll


    change tactics if it worked extremely well the first time," someone suggested. Aside from the


    explosions, the darkness was their main enemy then. Attacking during the daytime would help them


    see the secret weapon clearly.


    Toby immediately liked the idea and felt excited. If Shawn really had a powerful, secret weapon, he


    must find a way to steal it from him. Starting then, he not only wanted to conquer the Dragon Pass but


    also nned to have the world''s most powerful explosive!


    "We lost a lot of men when we attacked the Dragon Passst night. The soldiers who survived are still


    shell shocked and traumatized. We need toy low for a bit; if we attack again, I''m afraid we''ll suffer the


    same fate. Many of our soldiers have been badly mutted or justpletely blown to pieces. It''s a


    cruel scene I wish not to see again," a general said, almost tearing up. There was no way he would


    send his men to that kind of environment again.


    "If we don''t find out what that explosive was, we will never seed in conquering the Dragon Pass. If


    that happens, more soldiers will die the same way as the ones who diedst night! Do you want to be


    killed, without knowing what kills you?" Toby said, sounding agitated.


    "We don''t want to, Your Highness!" the generals said in unison.


    "Since none of you would want to suffer that fate, go and gather your soldiers and tell them to get ready


    to attack the Dragon Pass again. This time, we''ll know what Shawn is attacking us with and we''ll be


    ready for it!"


    "Yes, Your Highness!"


    Outside the gate of the Dragon Pass, Shawn wasmanding his subordinates as they cleaned the


    numerous carcasses strewn about. A lot of people clearly remembered the horrible scene that


    happenedst night, and many generals had alreadye to ask him about the kind of weapon he


    used that caused such extreme damage. He, however, elected to say nothing and just asked the


    soldiers to bury more mud balls on the battlefield.


    "General, why are we burying these balls here?" one general asked.


    "Toby is so self-absorbed and stubborn that he will not give up until he discovers what we used against


    them. They have suffered a great lossst night, but I am sure that he is already leading his troops to


    attack the Dragon Pass again. These are gifts I specially prepared for them. I hope that his luck will be


    better today," Shawn answered calmly.

    The deputy general swallowed his saliva thinking about Toby being a victim of Shawn''s mud balls. ''It


    would only take one for him to turn into a muddy pool of blood and flesh!'' he thought, wincing. But


    considering the fact that they had such powerful weapons, the deputy was able to heave a sigh of


    relief, saying, "General, you can finally have a good rest tonight!"


    "Rest is something we still cannot afford to do. Is there still no news from Prince Matthew?"


    "None, general."


    "Let''s go back to work then."
