Eagle Byzantium

"Send five thousand Brotherhood fighters south to reinforce Antioch and serve as Tancred's wing." Ridwan quickly made the decision, "In addition, send envoys to Mosul, Isfahan and Damascus to request all The Turkic warriors launched a new jihad, and this time they must form a real army to deal with the expansion of the Christians. Now that civil war has broken out among their princes, it is the most conducive time for us to regain the lost territory. "

As for rescuing Marashi, Wang Kidewan did not give up completely. He asked Marbolo to lead his army south, while Daura and Osdu were stationed at Muya, the checkpoint castle in the Azaze Corridor, and were responsible for transportation by camel and mule teams. The grain and fodder went to relieve Feer.

On the Persian plateau, under the snowy peaks of Zagros, in the great and majestic city of Isfahan, on the steps of the magnificent palace, various birds competed to make sweet chirps. Sanjar, the official Sultan of the Great Seljuk Empire, stood there. On the floor that reflects the reflection, an edict to Great Khorasan, Mosul and other places is announced:

“All Ghazis and soldiers must participate wholeheartedly in this Jihad Jihad;

The jihadists prepared their own battle flags, weapons, armor and horses, and the Seljuk court provided food and fodder support;

Everyone in the area, whether they are soldiers, farmers, citizens, or even criminal gangsters, as long as they participate in this jihad, they will be fully forgiven and can use it to cut off the infidels and unbelievers. Under the ears and fingers get paid. "

After the announcement, Sanjar Sultan, the grandson of the great Alp Arslan and the son of the equally great Malik Shah Khan, specifically added to the scribes surrounding him, "The previous jihads were completely unknown. It was instigated by a clueless imam and we were defeated miserably on the Sivas Plateau. This is what Allah has done to our team of believers. Due to the warning of disunity. Therefore, this time I will use the sultan's reputation to form a truly powerful and clean team through jihad, controlled by warriors and imams, to regain our 'direction' (what the Crescent Church calls all). The Holy City as the direction) Jerusalem, the place where the Prophet ascended to the night, was recovered from the hands of the dirty Franks.”

Although the original Seljuk Empire had been torn apart at this time, and the area that Sanjar could command was only around Isfahan, he still harbored great ambitions and hoped to revive the power of the Sultan's throne through this holy war.

After the arrangement was completed, the Sultan put on a traditional turban, a white silk aba wide coat, and cool red leather boots. He held a riding whip and walked out of the palace gate - a luxurious and grand event was about to be held in the city. horse racing, it was his favorite thing.

The outer courtyard of the palace is surrounded by cloisters on all sides. The curtain of water from the reservoir makes the row of citron trees behind it particularly lush and beautiful. Accompanied by his followers, the Sultan walked through here and walked to the park in the shadow of the outer gate tower. On the shoulders.

On the other side of the small lattice windows in the outer corridor is a forbidden passage with a ceiling, but there are still a group of palace maids wearing headscarves laughing and laughing behind the windows, stretching out their white arms, and looking through the lattice from the people who have sneaked in. The vendors were holding baskets where they were sorting honey and jewelry. After the Sultan sat on the carriage, he saw that it was not over yet, and he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy.

At this time, the shoulder cart was lifted up by eight majestic white slaves from the Caucasus, and walked out of the gate tower to the forbidden passage of the outer wall. The hawker was still lowering his head, standing outside the lattice window to sell goods.

Sultan squinted his eyes at this time and saw that the vendor had a striking belt around his waist, which was a sign of Christian identity, and his anger became even more intense.

Next to the carriage, Sudan's hound wearing a golden anklet suddenly roared, its barking wild and abnormal. Sudan became even more angry. He pointed at the peddler and shouted to a close warrior beside him, "Toulon, go and get that Drive away the despicable guy, do not harm his body or life, and an ant does not need to be trampled to death with the feet of an elephant."

The warrior named Toulon immediately nodded and bowed, then ran over with a sword in his hand. The screams of several palace maids behind the lattice window rang out - Toulon kicked the basket in the hawker's hand to the ground, and all kinds of The items rolled down, and then a fierce quarrel broke out between the vendor and the vendor, "Get out, get out!"

The vendor scraped against the base of the outer wall, rolling and crawling, and his clothes and robes were torn to pieces.

"Don't beat him, just drive him out. Don't delay me from going to the horse race." Sanjar Sultan on the saddle approached step by step amid the fierce barking of dogs, and kept reminding his subordinate warriors to be careful.

At the moment of intersection, Sanjar saw the hawker's eyes suddenly shine on him through the side of his shoulder, cold and cruel, and he shivered all over, "Everyone..."

Before the Sultan could finish his words, the hawker suddenly pulled out a prepared sharp knife from the gap in the wall, then raised it up, walked calmly and swiftly, and stabbed the Sultan's shoulder diagonally.

Toulon was frightened to death. He immediately drew out his knife and hit the hawker's other arm. However, he only shook his head and continued to move forward, with blood dripping from his hand. The knife fell with his sharp blade and hit the Sultan's chest.

Sanjar's eyes widened, and then the vendor pulled out the sharp knife, and blood gurgled out hopelessly like spring water, dyeing the entire white of aba's shirt red. The Sultan's white slave bearers were all stunned, causing the carriage to stop in place. The imperial guards beside the Sultan were also stunned. A few reacted quickly and grabbed the Sultan's shoulders and arms, but their rule The patient was paralyzed in the carriage, and blood was dripping down the cushions and handrails. It seemed that he could not be saved.

The vendor, no, an experienced assassin, took two steps back quickly, the dagger was thrown at his feet, one of his injured arms was dragged, and the other only raised his fingers in a symbolic way, shouting hoarsely and triumphantly, "This is the death knell of the Assassins, all those who despise the Eagle Castle must die, everything..."

Before he finished shouting, Toulon slashed him hard from behind, and the assassin knelt down trembling all over, and then the Sultan's entourage warriors drew their swords and rushed forward, chopping him into seven pieces of steaming and bloody meat.
