Chapter 2007: Magical Recipe

At this time, Dike returned to Egypt.

This time the harvest was plentiful; the fighting in other regions of Africa had gained Britain a large number of colonies.

Such merit earned him the appreciation of George III, who wanted to call him back to promote him and bestow honors upon him.

He returned to Egypt this time to make arrangements for his family business in Egypt, and of course, there was one small matter he needed to resolve quickly.

He took out the Secret Recipe given to him by his doctor.

Marked on it was a virility-enhancing medicine, but the materials required were somewhat too precious.

He had personally tested the effects of this thing, and could only say it was quite efficacious.

Dike imagined that if he were to promote such a thing in Britain, he would surely be able to make a large profit.

By then, once he was titled a Duke, possessing vast lands and capital, he would absolutely be able to become the Noble who enjoyed life the most in Britain.

However, the most critical and important medicinal ingredient for this medicine could only be found in Egypt.

And it had to be from those mummies sealed for thousands of years within the tombs of Egypt to have any effect.

After Dike returned to Egypt, he set about excavating these mummies.

This met with strong resistance from the Egyptian people in his Colonial Area.

Dike did not take these acts of resistance to heart in the slightest; it was nothing more than using his strong ships and powerful guns once again to beat these resisting Egyptians one more time.

Dike dealt ruthless blows to these Egyptians.

These Egyptians could not defeat the British, and could only watch helplessly as the other side excavated the tombs of their ancestors.

Watch helplessly as they turned their ancestors into medicine...

Egypt was humiliated beyond measure, begging Anubis to send down divine punishment to annihilate these demonic British.

Dike paid no attention to the pitiful and tragic state of the Egyptians.

As he was leaving, he suddenly thought, since the Egyptian mummies were made after their pharaohs died, would these Egyptians who died in the war now have the same effect...

In the end, Dike returned to the British mainland with a ship full of spoils.

He felt that those riches were beckoning to him, and he could obtain them easily...

And at this time, on the other side of Egypt.

Harris arrived safely and smoothly, without any danger, at the Longyan army position of Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan personally received this Messenger from Nashadier; Harris looked at Jiang Xuan's handsome appearance.

There was none of the ruggedness of those generals, and a trace of aversion surfaced in his eyes.

Although the two had never had any contact before, the moment Harris saw this fair and clean appearance of Jiang Xuan, he felt aversion in his heart.

In his understanding, a Warrior capable of commanding an entire army, while not necessarily rugged in appearance, should at least have a robust body full of vigor.

Clearly, Jiang Xuan did not possess such conditions.

He cupped his hands, using the etiquette Nashadier had given to Longyan, and said indifferently: "Greetings, Commander of Longyan."

Jiang Xuan smiled: "No need, you are the Messenger sent by General Nashadier, there is no need for such complicated etiquette."

"Did he send you here specifically to discuss the overall strategic deployment for this decisive battle?"

Harris nodded and said coldly: "That is indeed the case, but I personally have some other matters to ask."

"The battle can be fought however you like, but if these matters are not resolved, I can be certain that Nashadier will lose more than half of his combat power."

Jiang Xuan raised an eyebrow, looking at Harris with interest; through previous inquiries, Jiang Xuan already knew Harris's background.

He was the former Commander of the Wahala Tribe and had once been a general who resisted Nashadier.

He had received aid from French troops, but the French troops did not trust him.

Now he had defected to Nashadier.

"Oh, what matter could be more important than this current war?"

Harris said in a deep voice: "It concerns the future ownership of Egypt; if the French Colonial Area collapses, are we Egyptians just sending away one colonizer, or merely becoming slaves to another?"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the Longyan officers in the camp revealed intense killing intent.

They shouted angrily: "You ungrateful thing, our Longyan army is shedding blood and sacrificing our lives in Egypt, and in the end, it is you Egyptians who benefit!"

"New colonization? Do you think we Longyan need to colonize you?"

"A place like this that doesn't see much green all year round, a hellhole that endures wind and sand for long periods—is it even worthy of being coveted by us Longyan?"

Jiang Xuan interrupted their verbal abuse and said indifferently: "This land once gave birth to a powerful civilization, a civilization that was once on par with our current Longyan!"

"The strength of Longyan is not a reason for you to look down on any region, do you understand!"

Seeing the faint look of anger on Jiang Xuan's face, the generals lowered their heads in agreement, their eyes filled with respect.

Harris was slightly stunned to see the command ability Jiang Xuan displayed; he had not expected that such a delicate-looking general would have such deterrent power in such an army.

Harris's view of Jiang Xuan changed slightly.

Jiang Xuan looked at Harris and said with great respect: "Longyan truly does not have the slightest intention of colonizing Egypt."

"What we seek is merely cooperation with Egypt."

"Only cooperation can allow our Longyan to obtain greater benefits; if it were that so-called colonization, it would only hinder the continued development of our Longyan."

"General Harris, you should now understand the purpose of our Longyan, right?"

Harris nodded: "If you Longyan can abide by what you said today, then I will offer my highest respect."

"However, no one can prove that what you are saying now is true or false."

Jiang Xuan laughed and said indifferently: "I do not need to prove the truth of this statement to anyone, because you can only choose to believe, or believe."

"There is no other choice."

"Alright, General Harris, I have told you what you wanted to know; I need to know how your troops will arrange the attack on the Wahala Tribe."

"With the current French Colonial Area, having you assist in the fighting is a good thing for us, but it doesn't necessarily have to be you; we can do it ourselves as well."

"It just requires a little more trouble."

After Harris let out a breath, just as Jiang Xuan had said, he could only choose to trust the other party now.

But this trust was held with suspicion.

Harris said in a deep voice: "We will launch an offensive against the Wahala Tribe region, but we lack the capability to attack the French industrial zones on the Ethiopian Plateau."

"The French Main Force there will need to be faced by you alone, but after victory, our Insurgent Army must obtain at least one of the industrial zones!"

"This was originally our Arab tribal territory as well."

Jiang Xuan smiled and said: "You can have all the land and people here; all we of Longyan want is to cooperate with a stable government to jointly develop the resources here."
