Chapter 1695: Two Generals

At this time, on the other side of Europe.

In the Holy See, the Catholic Pope, dressed in holy white robes, had a very gloomy expression on his face at this moment.

Because according to news coming from the front lines, the battle results achieved by the two Holy Cross Army generals he had dispatched caused him both heartache and shame.

The Holy Cross Army led by Douglas attacked from the direction of Hanover, but they were easily routed by the Longyan Army, which was trapped within the European continent, under the command of Ling Chen.

What is circulating outside is that General Douglas fought bravely, but could not overcome the demons from Hell, and ultimately died for his country.

This is the rumor circulating outside; at least, that is the reason it appears to be to the followers of Catholicism.

"That bastard Douglas, he only knows how to mess around with women!"

"He deserves to die on a woman's belly!"

The Pope was furious; his room was in a mess, and one didn't need to guess to know it was this Pope who had done it.

After venting, he panted heavily while looking at the military report, and in a fit of rage, he tore the military report to shreds.

"Longyan Army!" The Pope squeezed these three words out from between his teeth.

Although Douglas's failure had a lot to do with him personally, it was the Longyan Army led by Ling Chen that directly defeated the Holy Cross Army.

If not for the interference of the Longyan Army, even if Douglas had died, Prussia would not have held out for long.

The disparity in military strength between them was too great.

At this moment, a believer walked in and, seeing the mess in the Pope's room, found it hard to imagine that this was the Pope who, in his mind, had always maintained a kind and noble demeanor.

At this moment, he looked more like a madman.

The Pope's cold gaze looked over, and the believer's heart skipped a beat, thinking, "It's over, I've seen something I shouldn't have."

The believer hurriedly bowed his head and closed his eyes, saying respectfully: "Respected Pope, Prince Soubise has sent word that his troops have no Method to attack Berlin recently."

"Saxony is unable to provide him with reinforcements."

"Why!"

Although the believer did not see it, he could feel the Pope's gaze filled with murderous intent, and he heard the Pope's deep, suppressed voice ask: "The King of Saxony promised to provide support for the Holy Cross Army; why is he going back on his word now?"

The believer said fearfully: "Currently, Saxony is fighting against the Longyan Army within its borders, and the King of Saxony does not dare to risk his Factories, which is why he does not dare to send troops to support Prince Soubise."

"The Longyan Army again!" The Pope was furious.

Douglas's failure was entirely because of the Longyan Army.

Prince Soubise did not have those problems that Douglas had, but his failure was also due to the interference of the Longyan Army.

Because of the Longyan Army, the rapid offensive of the Holy Cross Army was completely contained.

The Pope stared at the map on the wall and cursed: "These demons from Hell, the Lord will bring divine punishment upon them!"

"Pass on my order, have France continue to increase its troops!"

The believer responded and hurriedly retreated, not daring to stay for another minute.

And at this time, in Egypt.

A brief peace had arrived.

Dike, the leader of the British Colonial Area, was currently busy subduing two port cities in Egypt and had no strength to confront Longyan.

Because of the fall of two important port cities, the French Colonial Zone no longer had any territory within Egypt.

Now Egypt was divided between Longyan and Britain.

Although there had been constant conflicts between Longyan and France, and France occupied three of Longyan's mines in Egypt.

But after all, the Sahara Desert lay between them, and before either side had complete control of the Nile River, neither side had a Method to take action against the other.

However, Jiang Xuan had sent Nashadier to disintegrate France from within.

Therefore, Egypt was currently in a relatively peaceful period.

At least there had been no fighting recently.

Jiang Xuan vigorously developed Cairo and integrated and unified the Egyptian people.

The history of Egypt was very long, and it once possessed a complete system.

In governing Cairo, Jiang Xuan chose to respect Egyptian culture, but at the same time, he transmitted Longyan's culture into Egypt through other means.

To make a country influential, it is not just about military strength, but also about culture.

Under Liu Zheng's guidance, Jiang Xuan understood this principle.

After clearing the pirates from the Suez Canal, while developing the economy, he also subtly brought Longyan's culture into Egypt.

And at this time, at the other end of Egypt.

The engagement banquet for Nashadier and Marina arrived as scheduled.

Following the traditions of the Egyptian Noble.

According to Nashadier's understanding, he knew that Egypt had very traditional customs and views.

It is said that after Egyptian girls are about ten years old, they are forbidden from bathing and dressing up, as they consider this a sign of promiscuity.

But in Nashadier's view, this custom was complete bullshit.

Of course, such a custom was also impossible for Marina to accept.

She was born a Noble and never lacked water for bathing; after the age of ten, Marina had never followed these backward Egyptian customs.

This was something Nashadier highly approved of.

On the day of the engagement banquet, Marina's sister Ailina acted as her elder.

Because Nashadier had no family, Marina's brother-in-law, Shawn, temporarily stood in.

At first, Shawn refused.

After all, that was Nashadier's elder; if he were dissatisfied in any way, Shawn knew clearly what his fate would be.

But fortunately, Nashadier gladly accepted this arrangement.

This made Shawn breathe a sigh of relief.

But the next sentence Nashadier spoke scared Shawn out of his wits on the spot.

"It doesn't matter; to be my elder, one must be mentally prepared to die."

Therefore, Shawn pretended to be sick today and did not come to attend the engagement banquet of Nashadier and Marina.

On the night of the engagement banquet.

Inside the castle of the Sugela Tribe, the lights were brilliant, and the atmosphere was full of joy.

Although Marina was only Ailina's sister, the scale of this engagement banquet was even grander than the wedding banquet of Shawn, the heir of the Sugela Tribe.

Not a single person who came to attend this engagement banquet had a low status.

They were all future heirs of tribes.

At this banquet, Marina was dressed brilliantly, and Nashadier was even more imposing; the traditional Egyptian customs and rituals had already concluded.

The evening banquet was held according to the ways of those European Nobles.

It was extremely luxurious.

Shawn, who had escaped using the excuse of being sick, was invited out by Ailina during the evening banquet.

Shawn was standing with Nashadier at this time, introducing the guests attending the engagement banquet to him.

A trace of a smile appeared on Nashadier's stern face as he greeted the guests who had come to attend his engagement banquet.

Through Shawn's introductions, Nashadier got to know the various heirs of the large and small tribes near Egypt.
