Chapter 920 Reinforcements Arrived (Part Two)
The originally clean ground was wet by the oil and became slippery. The soldiers of the Great Jade
Kingdom couldn''t stand steadily at all and all fell down. The attacking ram also lost its bnce and hit
the city wall directly. Everything under the city gate was in a mess.
"Oh, no! General, tell them to retreat quickly!" The counsellor could tell something was wrong when he
saw the soldiers of Bright Dynasty were pouring something down. He knew that the object was
absolutely not a good thing when he saw that the soldiers fell and piled on the ground one by one.
"Retreat!"
But the order was toote. When the bonfire finally fell from the city andnded on the ground, arge
fire burst out. The wood oil could easily burn, so all the soldiers who tried to attack the city were set into
fire. The soldiers'' screech drowned the fighting sound of the battle field.
The remaining soldiers of the Great Jade Kingdom wanted to put out the fire and save the soldiers on
fire, but at the same time, the soldiers at the tower began to shoot intense feathery arrows. They
couldn''t get close to those on fire at all. As a result, they could only watch them being burned to death.
The air on the battlefield was reeking with the nasty smell of burnt meat, which made people feel sick.
Shawn controlled his disgust. It seemed that not only he was in a bad mood, so was Zack. Otherwise,
he would not repel the enemies in such an extreme way as soon as he arrived here.
Benjamin Wu'' face paled. Firstly, the Bright Dynasty had used the explosives to blow up their soldiers,
which had made them cry for mercy. Now, he had burned their soldiers to death with the oil. His eyes
turned red and ferocious!
"Shawn, I swear I will cut you into pieces!" Benjamin Wu roared angrily.
Standing on the tower, Shawn looked calm and said coldly, "I''ll wait; if you have the ability,e here."
"I..."
"General, the most important thing is to retreat," the counsellor persuaded at once. He knew how
insidious and cunning these people of the Bright Dynasty were. There must be many traps waiting for
them. They couldn''t act rashly, lest they would fall into the trap of the enemies again.
Even though Benjamin Wu didn''t want to admit defeat, he had no choice but to ask his soldiers to
retreat in a short time. He had thought that the Dragon Pass would be under his control soon. Yet, he
didn''t expect that Shawn became so aggressive that he used such a despicable means to repel them.
"Retreat!" The soldiers of the Great Jade Kingdom retreated like tide. Shawn looked at them
indifferently and turned to go downstairs. Since Zack had arrived, he should go to see him and have a
good talk with his old friend.
In the general''s house, Zack sat at the guest seat and sipped his tea gracefully, as if he had already
guessed the result. When he saw Shawn, he greeted with a smile, "You are back."
"It''s out of my expectation that His Majesty and Grand Secretary Franklin would have sent you here,"
Shawn said as he handed his sword to his deputy general and took off his helmet. "How was your trip?
Was it smooth?"
"I walked separately from General Maxwell, so my trip here was quite smooth. But the general and the
army''s trip are not so smooth," Zack said calmly. "And you? How are you?"
"I am fine!" Shawn said, raising his eyebrows. "But look at you. You look pale and may faint at any
time."
"I''m a schr who''s weak in physical strength. Since I rushed to the Dragon Pass and didn''t have any
rest, it''s understandable that I''m in a bad state. But look at you: you have ck eyes! You seemed to
have been beaten hard by others. How long did you not sleep well?" Zack asked slowly. "If your father
saw you like this, he would be heartbroken."
Shawn sat down next to Zack and drank up a cup of tea. "Rndo is so shameless and insidious. He
didn''t give me the chance to rest. In the past half a month, I haven''t had a sound sleep. Luckily, you are
here now. Otherwise, I don''t know how long I can hold on."
"Don''t worry. Prince Matthew should be back in any minute," Zack said in a low voice. "Is there any
news about Harper?"
"Before the Great Jade Kingdom attacked the Dragon Pass, we got the news that she was under
house arrest in the Imperial Pce of the Great Jade Kingdom by Rndo. Now, since Rndo
appeared in the Dragon Pass, it means she should have escaped and be with Prince Matthew on the
way back here," Shawn said, trying tofort Zack. "Don''t worry. Harper''s smart. She''ll be fine."
"I heard that the Wonder Kingdom and the Great Jade Kingdom were also fighting at the Mountain
Pass." Zack had more thoughts on mind. Based onmon sense, at this time, the Wonder Kingdom
should wait and see and then make a move. Since it took action at such a time, somehow, Zack
suspected that it was helping the Bright Dynasty. But why did it do that?
"Yeah. It is said that the prime minister of the Great Jade Kingdom has been hurt."
"Why did the Wonder Kingdom help our Bright Dynasty?" Zack was confused. After all, Wonder
Kingdom and Bright Dynasty didn''t have any connection. Why did it offer help now?
"Speaking of this, I think of one thing." Shawn had heard a saying that at the South Kingdom, Harper
was pestered by the third prince of Wonder Kingdom, Kile.
"What is it?" Zack asked at once.N?velDrama.Org owns all content.
"When Harper went to the South Kingdom, she were pestered by the prince of Wonder Kingdom, Kile.
Butter, the South Kingdom attacked Harper. Kile then left the South Kingdom. Besides, before he left,
he had been looking for Harper."
"You mean Harper and Kile know each other?" Zack came to realize that if the prince made friends with
Harper, everything about the behaviors of the Wonder Kingdom now made sense.
Shawn thought over his words and said, "I''m afraid it''s not that simple as that. They should be on good
terms."
"So it means that Prince Matthew is not with Harper now," Zackmented with a frown. "I''m afraid
that Harper is in the Mountain Pass now, while Prince Matthew is on the way back to the Dragon
Pass."
