Forensic Imperial Concubine

Chapter 912 Keep Attacking The Dragon Pass (Part Two)

"Your Majesty, please let us know."

Rolando picked up the tea cup and took a sip. "Do you know what caused such a big harm?"

Everyone shook their heads. If they had known it, they might have prepared the same thing, and would not feel confused here.

"Then why didn't you clean up the battlefield carefully?" After Rolando went back to the barrack, he carefully asked about what had happened last night and today. The situation was small-scaled last night, and then it was large-scaled today. During this period, Shawn had taken people to clean up the battlefield, and they might not only have cleaned the battlefield, but also set a trap, which caused a large range of death and injury today.

Everyone looked at each other. They were stunned by the explosion last night. They didn't think of cleaning up the battlefield at all. They just wanted to retreat quickly and stay away from that horrible thing. However, they never thought that if they had carefully cleaned up the battlefield, they would have found some clues.

"Your Majesty, have you sent people to clean the battlefield in order to find clues?"

"Everything will leave some clues after it is done. No matter how thoughtful and cautious Shawn is, it is inevitable that he has missed something. As long as we find some traces, we can solve his mystery," Rolando said coldly.

"Your Majesty." A man walked in quickly. "We have found it."

Rolando's eyes lit up. "Submit it to me."

The guard brought a mud ball to them, which they had found when they were cleaning up the battlefield. Coincidentally, it did not explode, and was found by the Cyan Garment Guards.

Rolando wanted to get it, but was stopped by the leader of the Cyan Garment Guards, Bastian. "Your Majesty, it..."

Rolando pushed Bastian away, took the mud ball and looked at it carefully. "This is Shawn's secret weapon which killed and hurt many people in our army?"

"I suppose so." Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

"How can a small mud ball cause such a damage?" all people asked in disbelief. They couldn't believe that they were defeated by such mud balls.

"Only this one?" Rolando examined the mud ball carefully. It was rough and smelt strange. There seemed to be carbon, with something odd mixed in it. He could not tell what was in it.

"We've found this one only after we cleaned up the whole battlefield. I'm not sure if it is the one that could cause such a big damage," Bastian said honestly.

"We'll know if it is after we have a try." Rolando went outside with the mud ball in his hand, followed by many others. They wondered whether this mud ball was the cause of the damage.

Rolando asked someone to put it outside in the open space and then told a soldier to bring a fire arrow. There were burning marks on the ball and it should explode with fire. As for how to get it triggered, he hadn't worked out the solution. So he asked them to bring a fire arrow and shoot it at the mud ball. When the arrow fell beside the ball, the fire burned it. Everyone's eyes were wide open, but nothing happened.

"It should not be caused by this thing."

"Maybe we used a wrong way..."

All of a sudden, a loud bang erupted. Everyone was startled. The bluestone road that had been placed in the open space was blown to pieces, smoke flying, and even the house shook three times.

"Yes, that's it. I will never forget the sound! Your Majesty, it is this thing!" someone exclaimed.

Rolando's eyes were as cold as ice. The Bright Dynasty shouldn't have such things. They should be given by someone else. If the Bright Dynasty had such powerful weapons, they would have fought against several countries, and no country would be a match. With this weapon, the Bright Dynasty could be called the king of the world, but they didn't do it, which meant they didn't have many of such weapons.

"Go and check who has come to the Dragon Pass lately, or if there is someone special there!" Rolando gave the order calmly. The only mud ball in their hands had exploded, so they could not use it for research. They could only investigate the people in the Dragon Pass, or get another ball next time.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Most of the generals turned to Rolando and asked, "Your Majesty, the Dragon Pass has such powerful weapons. Do we still need to attack it?"

"Yes! But, we don't need to attack with so many people. Use the ballistas to suppress the soldiers on the gate tower, and then prepare to attack the city with the ballistas. Tomorrow, go on attacking!" Rolando said resolutely.

"The enemy has such weapons. If we attack the city, aren't we going to die?" Some people questioned Rolando's decision. After all, Shawn had scared them. The most terrible thing was not the death in battle, but that they just died inexplicably as soon as they showed up. They knew they would die, but they still had to go one after another. They were people and would be scared sometimes.

"If Shawn really has so many secret weapons, he wouldn't have taken them out so late. I guess he doesn't have many of them at hand. His attack is just a feeler. Go and see how many such things Shawn has in his hands," Rolando said slowly.

"Your Majesty, if Shawn has a lot of them, we will be seriously damaged. We just met with him, but we have already lost fifty thousand people. If it goes on like this, we will probably..."

"If there are really so many things in his hands, do you think they would be hidden in the Dragon Pass? I don't think he has a lot. The top priority now is to find out who made it!" Rolando said sternly.
