Chapter 1783: Declaration of War

~6 min read 1,120 words

The next day.

Major newspapers published this news.

Nashadier also received the news, and he laughed out loud.

"Brothers, we have a busy time ahead of us."

Nashadier pointed to the front-page news in the newspaper and said: "This is the funniest joke I have ever heard. Ika has declared war on us, saying those French donkeys will defeat us with lightning speed."

After hearing this, everyone burst into loud laughter.

It was the funniest joke they had ever heard; they had fought the French troops many times, but every single time, it ended in the defeat of the French troops.

"Those French only know how to talk big."

"They run away in fear every time they see us!"

"It is time to show them some real power; we must let them know who the true masters of this land are!"

Seeing that everyone was so high-spirited, Nashadier smiled.

"Brothers, brothers, you are right," Nashadier said, looking at everyone.

"However, this time Ika has dispatched one thousand French soldiers. They are well-equipped, with advanced muskets and countless bullets."

Everyone quieted down and looked at Nashadier.

"But..." Nashadier tore the newspaper apart and stomped on it: "These things cannot scare us, and those Frenchmen will not need to pay the price for their actions!"

Nashadier's words stirred up strong emotions in the crowd.

The entire tavern was ignited by Nashadier.

Nashadier roared: "We absolutely cannot let those Frenchmen continue to act recklessly over our heads; they must pay a bitter price for this!"

"These French troops must receive the punishment they deserve!"

"They will pay the heaviest price!"

A strong fighting spirit erupted among the crowd.

They had been enslaved by the French for too long, and now that Ika had openly declared war on them, their long-suppressed emotions erupted in anger.

Nashadier shouted loudly: "We will tell the newspapers what these Warriors from Egypt are going to do!"

That day, another bombshell of news exploded in the French Colonial Zone like a Dragon Flame Bomb.

Nashadier responded head-on; he would formally declare war on Ika.

He would let Ika see what is meant by lightning-fast combat speed.

Shortly after this news broke, the largest trading center in the French Colonial Zone was attacked by Nashadier's troops.

He burned all the goods worth one million Silver Coins that the French had plundered from Egypt.

Those French slave owners were all wiped out by Nashadier's troops.

A large number of slaves trafficked by the French from Africa were released, and the French Soldiers guarding them were all executed.

Nashadier proved what he was doing in his own way.

What he was going to do.

Countless Egyptians cheered for him, believing he was resisting the brutal French.

Countless newspapers also reported this news.

Within one day, the newspapers urgently published three news stories, and every front-page headline had only one name: Nashadier.

This name now resounded throughout the entire French Colonial Zone in Egypt.

When Ika learned of his actions, he was furious.

"Quick, notify our troops. They must finish off Nashadier right now, otherwise there is no need for them to stay in this place!"

"They will all return to France as losers!"

The ten thousand French Soldiers led by Ika set out quickly. These soldiers were indeed as Nashadier had said; they carried excellent equipment.

Nashadier's troops currently only had slightly better War Horses, not many muskets, and even fewer bullets.

The gap in combat power was too vast.

But for Nashadier, none of this mattered.

The men under his command were all Warriors, and not a single one feared this battle.

Anyone could foresee that a great battle would soon erupt.

This raid by Nashadier brought him immense prestige and, at the same time, inspired many tribes that had suffered from bullying.

For example, the Sugela Tribe.

In this short day, Shawn saw three news stories with Nashadier as the headline.

He was in a state of complete numbness.

No one expected that Nashadier would really stir up the situation in the entire French Colonial Zone with only a troop of a little over a hundred men.

Although Shawn did not care for Nashadier, he could no longer ignore everything he had done.

It forced him to let out a heartfelt exclamation: "This man has done what they have always wanted to do."

"He has shocked this Egypt!"

However, Shawn was very pessimistic, believing that Nashadier's legend would end here.

Ika had already dispatched the French army, and in the near future, Nashadier would definitely join his troops on the pedestal of shameful defeat.

These inspiring pieces of news would also follow Nashadier into the grave.

Shawn felt as if he had already seen the outcome of all this.

The only thing that worried him was his wife's sister; she was Nashadier's woman, and if he were in his own tribe, she would very likely be implicated.

Now the French were forcing him to gather the young men in the tribe to go to the battlefield, and this matter had not yet passed.

If he were to get involved with Nashadier now.

The fate of their Sugela Tribe could be foreseen; every kind of disaster might descend upon their tribe.

Shawn hurriedly notified his wife, Ailina.

He told her to leave this place with Marina and flee, for only in this way could she, the other, and the Sugela Tribe possibly be preserved.

When Shawn found Ailina, he discovered that Marina had already vanished.

She had left the Sugela Tribe.

"Ailina, where on earth did your sister go? Her status is special right now; if she is caught by the French army, her life will be in danger."

"What!" Ailina's head spun; she had not seen her sister since she finished arguing with Shawn today.

Shawn sighed: "She must have gone to find Nashadier; we can only pray that she does not run into the French."

"However, you must leave here as soon as possible."

"It is about to become chaotic here," Shawn said urgently.

Ailina sternly refused: "No, I cannot; I must find my sister. I cannot watch her go to her death!"

……

Meanwhile, on the other side, Marina had already arrived at Nashadier's side.

"Master, I have finally seen you."

Nashadier looked at the woman in his arms and broke into a smile; today was the time he and Marina had agreed upon, and he had been lingering near the Sugela Tribe at the time.

He did so specifically to pick up Marina.

The reason Marina had not left with Nashadier before was that Nashadier hoped to obtain more information about the French through her.

"Master, I have an important piece of news to report to you."
