Forensic Imperial Concubine

At the end of the battle, the Birch Pass seemed to be washed with blood. It ended with Luther losing his life and Shawn getting severely injured. Shawn had been lying on the bed almost to the point of being lifeless. His face writhed in pain as he struggled to get up. Just then Joshua knocked the acupuncture point in Shawn's neck. As a result, the latter passed out and was forced to have a rest.

"The Black Flag Army still has me, so you don't need to strain yourself so much," Joshua said in a low yet decisive tone, glancing at Shawn who was in sleep. Joshua then, turned to Mathew and asked, "Your Highness, shall we continue to attack?"

Mathew tapped his index finger on the table unconsciously as he said, "Yes, continue attacking the pass. Use the best of the crossbows and also launch fire attacks."

Upon the order, Joshua's eyes lit up in excitement. He said, "Yes, Your Highness. I will make all the necessary arrangements right away."

The Black Flag Army was well equipped with upgraded armaments and improved crossbows. However, from where these advanced and upgraded crossbows came, was a secret that Mathew kept only to himself. Joshua had no idea about it.

Francis was shattered after Luther's death at the battle, but he did not have the luxury to grieve Luther's death. He gathered himself up to address his men. He instructed his men to close the main gate of the Birch Pass and refused to carry on with the fight. Francis assessed that no matter how powerful the Black Flag Army was, they could not climb up the wall of the pass with bare hands.

But what happened next frightened Francis to the core. The Black Flag Army started shooting arrows with fire jet inside the pass. After this, Mathew's motive was clear. All he wanted was to destroy the entire Birch Pass and put an end to the lives of the people who lived there without even leaving a burial place for them.

soldiers were already petrified after being deserted by Francis in the middle of the battle. In such a situation, Matthew's voice seemed to be pacifying them out of the terror. They calmed down and began to put out the fires in an organized manner. Slowly, the civilians in the entire town volunteered to join the team of firefighters. No one dared to complain that Matthew had set fire into the pass.
