Chapter 2041: Revenge and Grudge
At this moment, on the European battlefield.
The fall of Berlin and the compromise of France—such heavy-hitting news had absolutely no impact on the battlefield far away in Egypt.
At this moment, on the Egyptian battlefield, a total war against France had arrived.
Smith's troops were defeated and retreated; although he escaped as the garrison commander, he was still on the Valhalla Grassland.
There was no opponent that the Wahala Tribe could not track down or crush.
This time, Smith was unable to escape to safety as he had the last time.
Before he could reach another region, he was captured by the cavalry unit led by Nashadier.
At this moment, inside the military camp of the Wahala Tribe.
An aura of slaughter permeated the air; the faces of Henry and Harris were icy cold. Ever since returning from the Wahala Tribe, their expressions had been incomparably heavy!
The two of them looked at Nashadier, waiting silently for him to speak.
Nashadier looked at the two of them, took a deep breath, and told them indifferently: "Last night, we captured Smith and his personal guards."
Hearing this, the two were like bombs with their fuses lit, ready to explode in the next second.
They could no longer suppress the rage in their hearts!
Nashadier pointed outside without speaking; he heard the sound of their footsteps as they firmly intended to finish off Smith.
A voice came from outside: "Harris, don't forget that it was the French who gave you a new life!"
"You have committed betrayal, and this is your punishment!"
"What do you want to do!"
"Help!"
"No..."
The screams came to an abrupt end. Nashadier felt the temperature in the air seem to rise significantly, and he heard the approaching footsteps.
Turning around, he looked at Harris and Henry; there was a thick, bloody scent on them, but the expressions on their faces had relaxed a lot.
They were not as heavy as before.
"Lord Nashadier, thank you for helping us take our revenge. We swear to be loyal to you forever."
Harris and Henry knelt on one knee and took off the sabers at their waists; this symbolized the honor of their status as Warriors.
This was the highest etiquette for swearing allegiance in the Wahala Tribe.
Nashadier lowered his eyes to look at the two of them and picked up the sabers they had offered, signifying that he accepted their allegiance.
Smith was dead, and the Wahala Tribe truly became Nashadier's main force.
According to Jiang Xuan's plan, they were to launch a rapid attack next, striking toward the two major industrial zones of the French in Egypt.
They would draw in the main force of the French troops.
But at this moment, Marshal Dawn of the French Colonial Area.
Received the final piece of information from the French mainland: His Majesty had made the decision to send reinforcements to the Egypt region to keep this battle going.
Upon receiving this news, Dawn was overjoyed.
After holding out for so long, he was finally going to wait for reinforcements.
But after he received the intelligence that Smith's troops had been defeated, he was not overly worried.
As long as his own troops could hold out in the industrial zone for a period of time, there would be no problems at all.
As soon as the reinforcements arrived, the situation of this war could undergo a world-shaking change.
Thinking of this, Dawn did not consider much else; he believed that the Longyan Army led by Jiang Xuan posed a greater threat.
Therefore, he still kept his main force near the Nile River region.
As for the Resistance Army led by Nashadier, which had already experienced many battles, he did not send too many troops to fight them.
But it was precisely this line of thinking that almost pushed Dawn to the edge of death.
Nashadier's troops had completed their integration; the two forces, led by the Wahala Tribe and the Sugela Tribe, had developed a tacit understanding through these many battles.
The coordination between them was nearing perfection.
More importantly, those soldiers who had once followed Harris, along with Harris's near-defection and the fact that Nashadier had avenged the Wahala Tribe's blood feud.
Their troops now possessed even stronger cohesion.
Such cohesion and the fighting faith of unity between ethnic groups were things that this French force, pieced together for profit, simply did not possess.
Nashadier's troops assembled a great army, totaling fifty cavalry squadrons equipped with muskets and cannons, for a total force of 18,000 men.
They raided from the Valhalla Grassland to the border of the French Colonial Area's industrial zone.
But at this time, the troops Dawn had ordered to support the front line had only just arrived; they hadn't even begun to build defensive fortifications, nor had they conducted a survey of the surrounding terrain.
And at this moment, the cavalry assault force led by Nashadier and Henry had already attacked the outskirts of the French Colonial Area.
They lay in ambush in the wilderness, waiting for a suitable opportunity to launch an attack!
Nashadier led the team himself to scout the terrain and look for the enemy's flaws.
As a result, he discovered that the French troops had only just begun to build defensive fortifications, and the defensive force was pitifully sparse.
This once made Nashadier highly suspicious of whether the troops he was attacking were actually French troops.
Whether they were truly the powerful opponent he had made a series of efforts to ensure victory against.
Seeing the enemy's sluggish situation, after Nashadier finished investigating the surrounding terrain and confirmed beyond doubt that this was not a deceptive maneuver by the enemy, he couldn't help but find it laughable.
Had the French troops really become this pathetic?
Although he did not know why this French unit fighting him was so sluggish.
But Nashadier had to admit that now was the best time to attack!
The opposing troops had not prepared any defenses; they had enough time to attack without even needing to consider much else.
Nashadier finalized the battle plan.
After he returned to the troops, he immediately commanded: "Henry, you lead a small detachment to attack from the left flank."
"The other troops will launch a surprise attack!"
The Insurgent Army soldiers, who had just been preparing for battle, immediately entered combat status upon hearing Nashadier's order.
Henry led this detachment to strike first from the left flank!
Nashadier, meanwhile, led the main force to launch a direct surprise attack on the French troops from the front.
The unit Henry led consisted of only a meager five hundred men, all of whom were Light Cavalry, merely carrying Muskets.
Their unit's only combat objective was to harass and attack the French troops, making the French troops mistakenly believe that their full force had not yet arrived.
Since the French troops had sparse manpower, upon seeing that the Insurgent Army had only this much force, they might choose to swallow up this small detachment.
Henry's unit soon engaged in fire with the French troops.
However, the French troop commander did not fall for this trap, which was almost laid out in the open by Henry's unit.
The only mission he had received was to guard the industrial zone well and hold out until the arrival of reinforcements.
At this moment, Nashadier had also observed the changes on the battlefield, and such changes were already within his expectations.
Although he wanted Henry to lure the snake out of its hole, since the French commander did not fall for it, it was perfectly fine for him to adopt the second Method.
