But now, Ethan has developed a relationship with Chen Lang, and is even called an "old acquaintance" by Chen Lang.

Who is Chen Lang?

That is the strongest human being who can crush Holy City, control the Emperor-level black dragon, and defeat Sea God Race on his own!

With Chen Lang as a backer, Ethan will only become more confident. With subsequent suggestions from Chen Lang, his strength will inevitably increase.

By that time, even if he repels the foreign enemies, he is still no match for Ethan. There is a high chance that he will be kicked out by Ethan and completely lose the power in his hands...

This may be considered a good outcome, but the worse possibility is that Ethan will secretly execute him in order to avoid future troubles!

Such thoughts were surging in his heart, and Haken's heart was tightening, but he did not dare to show it at all on his face. He still maintained a respectful and humble posture, but the eyes he looked at Ethan showed a little more fear and wariness that could not be concealed.

He knows very well that if he wants to break the situation and save his status and life, he must ultimately rely on Chen Lang.

Therefore, even though he had no friendship with Chen Lang, and even though he knew that doing so would make him look humble, he still acted very enthusiastically and did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.

Chen Lang glanced at the two of them lightly. Although Haken had not fully understood the concerns in his heart, Apas, Medusa, had already seen everything.

She tilted her head slightly, moved her fingertips lightly, and a slender mental power was transmitted into Chen Lang's mind, and she whispered quietly, "That wrinkled old man is making up his mind, and he wants to rely on you to defeat Ethan."

Apas has always been good at naming.

Chen Lang already disagrees with this.

Chen Lang A glimmer of understanding flashed through his eyes, but he didn't point it out. He just raised his steps and walked slowly towards the fortress.

Apas followed him, with a somewhat lazy indifference in his golden eyes, and a faint aura of monsters lingering around him.

In her opinion, human beings are not worthy of her too much care. The only people who can make her look at them seriously are those who have been with Chen Lang for a long time, and this is all for Chen Lang's face.

As for Ethan, it's still the same sentence. The original help was just for each other. He helped her escape from Africa, and she gave him Scorpion Clan temporary asylum. Now that they meet again, they are just "chatting objects" in Chen Lang's mouth, nothing special at all.

Ethan walked quickly to lead the way. As he walked, he enthusiastically introduced the defense layout and troop allocation of the fortress. His tone was full of flattery, and he wished that all the things that could show Egypt's strength were presented in front of Chen Lang.

Haken followed behind, silent, but his mind was rapidly calculating the follow-up plan.

He must find ways to consolidate his situation and win over forces as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the value of his use is lost, what awaits him will be an irreversible end.

The mages in the fortress still stood neatly on both sides, with respectful expressions, not daring to express their anger. Their eyes fell firmly on the figures of Chen Lang and Apas, full of awe and admiration.

The arrival of this strongest man in mankind may be a turning point for Egypt, which is currently facing many crises.

In the reception room deep inside the fortress, tea has been prepared, and Ethan is busy pouring tea for Chen Lang, his posture extremely humble.

But before he could start talking, Haken took the lead and stepped forward without any hesitation. He bowed to Chen Lang and said, "Chief Chen Lang, please help us in Egypt. If you can, Help us get through the current crisis and repel Undead Legion from the Scorpion Empire and Khufu. We, the Egyptian military, will only follow your lead from now on. If you ask us to go east, we will never dare to go west!"

When he said this, his expression was extremely solemn, and there was no lie in his words.

Haken knows in his heart that once he says this, even if he keeps his position in the future, he will be restricted by Chen Lang at every turn and will no longer have the autonomy he once had.

But right now, this is his only way to break the situation.

By relying on Chen Lang, you can not only save your life and power, but also use the power of Chen Lang to suppress Ethan, and even gain a foothold in Egypt.

Ethan The hand holding the tea cup suddenly stopped, the smile on his face froze for an instant, and a strong displeasure and surprise suddenly surged in his heart!

This old guy, in order to seize power, could actually lower his body and say such humble words... This is something Ethan never expected.

He originally thought that Haken would secretly plot even if he was afraid of him, but he didn't expect that the other party would be so direct. He took the initiative to join Chen Lang in front of him, making it clear that he wanted to steal his limelight and use Chen Lang's power to overpower him!

Chen Lang raised his eyebrows, raised his eyes and glanced at Haken. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he nodded lightly.

He could clearly feel that what Haken said was true and not false at all. She really planned to make a desperate move and rely on him.

However...Chen Lang already knew in his heart that if he didn't help, Egypt's current situation would indeed be extremely dangerous.

After all, the two sisters of Apas are now thugs under Khufu, and have completely surrendered to the Undead Empire.

On one side is Undead Legion of Khufu, and on the other side is Scorpion Empire controlled by the two Medusa. The two major forces join forces to invade. With Egypt's current strength, there is no possibility of resisting it. It will not take long before it will be completely devoured.

Apas leaned on the seat next to him, holding his chin with one hand. There was a trace of amusement in his golden eyes, and he looked at Chen Lang and said through the voice, "These two humans are quite interesting. They will do anything for power. However, since the two traitors have taken refuge in Khufu, you are going to take action anyway, so we can just deal with them together."

Chen Lang did not respond immediately to Haken. He just picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip. His expression was indifferent, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

Seeing this, Ethan quickly put down his tea cup and spoke in an increasingly flattering tone, "Chief Chen, Haken is right. As long as you are willing to help, we in Egypt are willing to use all our resources and fully cooperate with you. We will never slack off!"

He couldn't let Haken seize the opportunity. He must also show his attitude and firmly hold Chen Lang's thigh.

Haken turned to look at Ethan, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, but he did not argue.

Right now, Chen Lang's attitude is the most important.

For Chen Lang, taking action is inevitable.

Because he wants to deal with Apas's two sisters, which is what he promised Little Snake Girl.

Since he agreed to help her solve this matter, he will definitely face Scorpion Empire and Undead Empire.

He doesn't need the Egyptian military to do anything. It can be said that at his level, the saying that there is strength in numbers no longer holds any advantage.

However, since I have to solve the problem myself, there is no problem in trying to sell my favor.

Chen Lang said casually, "Since we are all here, let me help you solve it."

After hearing what Chen Lang said, both of them were overjoyed.

Regardless of anything else, at least their biggest threat to Egypt was finally able to be overcome...
