"Are you sure they all said that?"

Sultan Hakim sat at the table without raising his head, cutting the steaming whole roasted lamb with a knife in one hand, and putting the fat and thin pieces of meat into his mouth with the other hand, chewing with great mouthfuls. His mouth was full of oil, and the peaceable Sultan looked like a different person. Those who are familiar with Sudan will know that whenever Sudan is guarding a roasted whole lamb without caring about etiquette, it is definitely not good news.

"Yes, Your Majesty the Sultan, everyone who came back gave similar returns. They all thought it was not a good idea for us to attack that despicable and shameless Byron now." The Sudanese spy chief reported cautiously. Even he, seeing Such a sultan still has to report such information, how could he be worried about his own fate.

"So, you are suggesting that I retreat?"

The sultan didn't stop talking, but there was deathly silence in the big tent, the face and neck of the spy chief was covered with sweat, no one dared to answer His Majesty the sultan's words at this time.

"Do you know what retreat means?" Sultan chewed, while playing with the sharp knife in his hand at his spy chief.

"It means the failure of our plan to march west! It means that we have spent weeks wasting so much gold and dates that it is meaningless to get here! It means Ali and thousands of brave warriors are dead. Pointless! This means that the mean and greedy heretic can come back safe and sound to his ridiculous little castle after plundering my lands and blackmailing my loyal subjects and honest merchants to show off his shameless gains Gold and silver?! This means that the sultan of the Sarandes, their monarch is like a clown who cannot protect himself, allowing the Swadians to be humiliated by a ridiculous lord of humble origin!" The tone of the sultan did not There are too many changes, and there are only imperceptible changes in his expression, but as long as he is not a fool, he should know that he is trying his best to hide the anger in his heart.

"Your Majesty the Great Sultan, no matter what, the enemy is still weaker than us. As long as you order, my subordinates will quickly bring you the deployment of the enemy. Victory still belongs to you." The spy chief couldn't think of a better way, I had no choice but to bite the bullet and say some good things that didn't seem too bad at the moment.

"False lies are better than the worst news, I hope you understand."

Sudan's table knife fell to his feet and ruthlessly plunged into the ground in front of him. The spy chief hurriedly knelt down. Although he had a good relationship with Sudan, Sudan would still call him a friend in private, but Ban Junru Companion tiger, who knows that one day this giant beast will swallow itself in a fit of displeasure.

"Okay, step back, leave the necessary spies behind, and come back with the rest." The Sudan waved his hand, and the spy leader immediately nodded and retreated, while the loyal generals of the Sudan gathered around the dining table all let go. tone.

"Notify the army, we will retreat this afternoon. Go and gather the chiefs, and I will give them an explanation." Hakim Sultan snatched the towel from the hand of the servant next to him, wiped it vigorously, and then threw the towel on the other side. The servant left with a sullen face on his face.

General Gu did not dare to neglect, and immediately ran out to inform his subordinates and the chiefs who were still waiting for news in the tent. They knew that this Western Expedition would definitely not be able to continue. Sudan's performance has already shown that everything.

"We didn't make it." In the sultan's marching bedroom behind the tent, the sultan's third wife attended him. She is not as powerful as the first wife, nor has a strong family and two sons as the backing of the second wife, but she is Hakim Sultan's most beloved wife and the smartest one. Only by relying on her wit and beauty can she always guarantee her status, and she will always be by her side when the Sudan goes out to fight.

"But you are not without gains. At least, the slaves will not make trouble for a long time. I was one of them. I can be sure of this." She removed the robe and armor for the sultan and put them on Meet the loose orange robes and gold-rimmed turbans that the chiefs often wear, and whisper in his ear: "You have got what you want, Your Majesty the Sultan. Your prestige is far higher than before. The slaves no longer dare to resist. You don't need to conquer the lord Let the chiefs be strong so they can get what they want."

"Yeah, now no one dares to question me anymore. It's just that the price is too high. One of my loyal generals, thousands of expensive Mamluks, and a whole box of gold and gems." The Sultan sighed, it seemed that he was really annoyed at the casualties and dinars he had paid.

"There will always be people who die in wars. Although Swadia is broken like broken clay pots~lightnovelpub.net~, they are still as dangerous as dying lions. Even if those Mamluks didn't die in Sharez Outside the city, they will also fall under the castles of Rhodok and Swadia. They have gone to the true **** to enjoy their joy. You need not worry about them. As for the gold and silver, those cunning merchants and greedy and cowardly people I don’t intend to dedicate that dinar to you, the gold will neither be used as taxes nor customs duties, since you can’t get it, what is the loss?”

"You're right. Although I can't agree with it, it really made me feel better." Sudan smiled, and the cloud on his face faded a little. "I don't need to continue to fight with that shameless person now, but in the name of the true god, I will make him pay the price sooner or later. By the way, and his damned accomplices, those self-righteous assassins, I will sooner or later It will uproot the Assassins and make them disappear from the world!" After saying this, Sudan hugged her in his arms.

"You gave me a daughter, but I thought about it, we should also have a son, after I finish dealing with those annoying guys, we can try again tonight..."

Later that day, Salander's army began to pack up their tents and retreat. Naturally, such a large-scale retreat could not be concealed from Byron's large number of scouts. The news came back quickly, and the war could finally end.

But at this time, on the road to the west of Fort Amira, a small episode was also going on at the same time.

On the road leading to the newly renovated castle, a Swadian woman was sitting in a carriage full of goods, and together with the strong and heavily armed man beside her, commanded the entire convoy. But in places they didn't notice, some malicious eyes have been staring at them for a long time.
