Chapter 1492: Disguise

"You..."

Dike pointed at Nashadier's hand, trembling with rage.

Nashadier looked at him with contempt, completely unbothered by Dike's fury, and said indifferently, "What, are you surprised?"

Dike let out a cold snort and turned to leave, waiting for his thirty thousand British troops to arrive.

Let's see how long you, Nashadier, can remain arrogant.

The garrison at the Egypt port was less than ten thousand, and Nashadier must have mobilized troops to attack the French Port.

This was the vanguard of the Longyan Army, but they were still quite a distance away from here.

Yet, they, the British, were very close to this port city.

Calculating the time, his thirty thousand-strong army would arrive soon.

Once the thirty thousand troops arrived, heh, Nashadier would only be fit to grovel before him!

At that time, he would let these Egyptian factions know who the true master of this city was.

Marina would only be fit to be a dog for me, Dike, by then!

Dike let out a cold snort.

He was about to leave the banquet.

"Stop right there. Guests are guests; are you leaving, Lord Dike, without even having a drink?"

Nashadier's indifferent voice rang out, and inside and outside Marina's castle, swish, swish, swish, countless people surged out.

They held long staffs or sharp knives in their hands.

Dike was stunned, turned around to look coldly at Nashadier, and said aloofly, "Nashadier, what do you want to do?"

Nashadier chuckled, "As you can see, everyone doesn't want you to leave; they want to keep you here."

"Don't go too far!"

Dike said coldly, "I am still the Spokesperson for the British!"

"If you dare to touch me, does Jiang Xuan know? Don't forget that I have an agreement with him."

Nashadier burst into laughter, looking at the cold-faced Dike.

The others also wore very mocking expressions on their faces.

"You think Jiang Xuan doesn't know? Dike, how do you have the face to bring up the deal?"

"Don't think we don't know that you mobilized thirty thousand troops from the British Colonial Area in Egypt to march on the port."

Dike's heart jolted as he looked at Nashadier—how could he know?

Very few people knew about this; one could even say almost no one knew.

Where did this brute Nashadier find out?

"You probably forgot what we Longyan have done."

Dike was stunned; he suddenly remembered what the Longyan were known for.

It was rumored that before Liu Zheng had made his fortune, he had already established a massive intelligence network.

It was used to spy on the connections between various factions.

"You!"

"Heh, even if you know, so what? I, Dike, am right here."

"More than half of the territory in Egypt is controlled by us British, while you Longyan have only taken two cities in Egypt."

"As the British Spokesperson stationed in Egypt, do you dare to touch me?"

"Do you want to declare war on me?"

"Nashadier!"

Dike looked down on the crowd, stepped forward, and shouted coldly in anger; the Egyptian bigwigs remained silent and took a step back.

Seeing this, Nashadier stepped forward, his mouth curling into a grin.

"Beat him!"

As soon as the voice fell, countless people rushed up. Dike was stunned, never having expected that Nashadier would actually make a move.

Dike looked panicked; before he could even get the words out of his mouth, someone kicked him in the face.

Instantly, his face was covered in mud.

Seeing this, Nashadier sneered.

He sat in his seat, saying nothing.

To convince people with reason—what matters is convincing people with reason.

Whoever is convinced listens to whoever convinced them.

Dike wanted to try it out, so let him try it out.

Afterward, it was said that Dike cried and begged Nashadier for forgiveness that very night, but Nashadier didn't even pay him any mind.

When this matter reached Cairo and Jiang Xuan found out, he laughed for several minutes.

The dignified British Spokesperson was beaten by Nashadier until he knelt and begged for mercy.

It was truly interesting, but thinking about it, how did that guy Dike dare to challenge Nashadier alone with just a few British people?

Did he mistake Nashadier for someone soft?

But I didn't expect that Brit to have so little backbone; he was just beaten up by Nashadier and knelt to beg for mercy—truly... trash.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the European continent, Ling Chen's troops.

Ling Chen led a small squad to attack a small town near Hanover; according to Diana's intelligence, a very large number of the Franco-Austrian Allied Army had been stationed here.

The fall of Hanover back then—actually, if the Franco-Austrian Allied Army had pressed their advantage, they could have completely marched directly into Berlin from here.

Eliminate the resistance army of Frederick II.

However, at that time, the Longyan army launched a surprise attack on an Austrian port city, and a million Longyan troops stood in a standoff against Austria in this city.

The main force of the Franco-Austrian Allied Army, the Austrian army, was tied down by the Longyan army.

Furthermore, during that period, there were reprisals against the Protestant Uprising everywhere.

The interior of every European country fell into a state of great chaos, which meant the Franco-Austrian Allied Army had no Method to continue their offensive.

This gave Frederick II a glimmer of breathing room, and it was during that period that Prussia was able to develop.

Afterwards, this army remained stationed here, waiting for an opportunity to strike directly at Berlin.

But ever since the Protestant Uprising, and until now when the Holy War has begun, this army has not had a single opportunity.

Now, the Austrian general Victor has issued an order to withdraw the troops.

It is unknown whether this unit has withdrawn from here.

Ling Chen's unit of a dozen or so people was dressed in plain clothes.

The appearance of Europeans and Longyan people is not the same, making it difficult to disguise themselves.

However, the number of Longyan people in Europe is not small, and most are merchants; although Longyan is currently at war with Europe, some industries in European countries can no longer do without Longyan.

Regarding the fact that the Longyan army is doing business here, they still turn a blind eye.

There is no Method; Longyan is currently the country with the most advanced level of technology.

Some things, such as Soap, Yinzhou liquor, tea leaves, etc., are only available from Longyan.

Moreover, some items are heavy industrial products; for example, the first generation of Yinzhou warships from Longyan can now be purchased, though the price is exorbitant.

But although some countries are coastal, they lack the technology to organize a fleet and can only purchase ships from Longyan after spending a massive amount of money.

They can only obtain ownership of these Yinzhou warships; as for usage rights and other powers, they have none.

They even have to have a Longyan advisor stationed on the ship.

Ling Chen sighed; he could only compromise and disguise himself as a Longyan merchant.

A merchant selling mil... military tents.

Ling Chen arrived at another city on the other side of Hanover; because this city is coastal and near a port, it is very wealthy.

It also has a certain amount of arable land.

However, the majority of the people living here are not Prussian residents who believe in Protestantism, but merchants from other European countries.

When he walked to the city gate, Ling Chen looked at the garrison at the entrance and their uniforms.

He understood in his heart.
