"Water!" , Jalaldin Hassan said with chapped lips. The male pet immediately got out of bed and went to prepare.

It wasn't long before a bowl of muddy water mixed with sand was delivered to Jalal-Din Hassan. Although when Alamut was built, the importance of water was taken into account. Therefore there are underground springs that flow into the city, so that there will never be a shortage of water.

However, the Yuan army used explosives in the water hiding areas around Alamut, which caused the water source of the underground spring to be seriously diverted. The shallower surface water was thrown into the carrion by the Yuan army, and it was seriously polluted. As a result, the water shortage in the city is very serious. Some low-level believers have already begun to quench their thirst with wet sand.

Others are forced to use urine to quench their thirst.

It can be said that the vast majority of Assasin followers have been on the verge of collapse since the siege of the city.

Jalal-Din Hassan doesn't hate the sand in the water, but can't wait to drink it all. Click······ Chewing on the fine sand, he felt alive.

During this time, he often thought in a trance. Everything is a dream! Just like the frequent nightmares recently, the Yuan army outside the city is all having nightmares on their own. As soon as you are sober, everything will disappear.

It's a pity that I woke up from a dream countless times and faced endless disappointment.

"Wait for me to get dressed!" Jalaldin hunched out of bed. Compared to the tight skin of the male pet, he is more like an apple that has been drained of moisture. The skin is loose and shriveled, and my hair has been falling out a lot lately.

Only the back of the head and a few sparse strands remained, and everything else was smooth like an eggshell. Because of his poor spirits, he was also very emaciated. The body is more like a skeleton against the skin, rather than any flesh and blood.

The brocade costume, which used to be a little tight, is now more like a costume, and it looks like it might fall off at any time when worn on the body. The Sultan's crown is still extravagant, and the dazzling gems still shine in a room that is not brightly lit. It's just that the person who bears the crown is no longer as high-spirited as before.

Jalaldin Hassan stared at himself in the openwork glasses.

This is a dressing mirror with a simple shape and oriental style. It is a product of the Great Yuan, and is one meter and two meters high. The mirror surface is as smooth as new, and even the pores of the person in the mirror can be illuminated.

At the beginning, Dayuan made a total of "12 mirrors", which were engraved with the patterns of the 12 zodiac signs of "rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig". The craftsmanship can be called top-notch, and only this batch is made.

After that, I just want to buy it, and I have nowhere to buy it.

Therefore, as soon as the zodiac mirror came out, there was a tide of buyers. Finally, at the auction, it was bought by the top merchants.

Jalal-Din Hassan's mirror was a gift from a wealthy businessman who had offended the Assasins. The first time he saw himself in the mirror, he fell in love with it. A snake is engraved on the back, which is also in line with the secretive and terrifying style of the Assasins.

Probably because of the dim light, Jalal-Din Hassan asked the male pet to open the window.

"But the smoke outside~", the male pet stopped talking.

It's been smoked for so long, and no matter how big the smoke is, it's used to it. So at the request of Jalaldin Hassan again, the male pet could only open the window.

I saw gray smoke filling the entire Alamut. The pungent air also rushed to the face, making people cough unstoppably.

But the light in the room was much brighter.

Jalal-Din Hassan straightened his clothes, tightened his belt with his belt, and combed his beard meticulously before turning to the windowsill.

This is the observation deck!

Because it is built on the highest point of Alamut, you can see everything in the city. Not only that, but you can also see the mountains outside the city. For example, the garrison of the Yuan army, several deliberately created pyrotechnics.

Let the male pet get the clairvoyant mirror, and he can clearly observe every move of the Yuan army station.

It's just that the smoke is wafting and it affects the vision.

There was also smoke rising from the city, which was burning corpses. Because people are constantly dying in the city, corpses are burned every day. Otherwise, the thirsty living will be tempted to drink the blood of the corpse to quench their thirst.

Although the Assasins have always symbolized cruelty and cold-bloodedness to the outside world, it does not mean that they are really cold, emotionless beasts. For example, drinking human blood is not acceptable to them.

But at the moment of life and death, no morality or conscience is as important as a sip of water. As long as you can quench your thirst, drinking blood is not something you can't do. Therefore, every day, the law enforcement team directly under Jalal-Din Hassan collects the corpses in the city and then burns them intensively, which can be regarded as a respect for the deceased.

I stood for a long time until I coughed so much that I couldn't straighten my waist. Jaralal-udin Hassan had the windows closed and returned to the temple.

That's when Nassin Jabalitaem also came!

After negotiations failed, he returned to the city and was ostracized by the other imams. And because he said the irresistible words of the Great Yuan, he was denounced by other patriarchs as a spy of the Yuan army.

Although in the end, under the patronage of Jalaldin Hassan, he still retained the position of imam. But it's just a name, and the power in his hands has been taken away by other patriarchs.

Today, he was summoned by Jalaldin Hassan, and Naxing did not dare to slack off, so he hurried here.

"Sultan!" , a respectful salute. As a member of the Assasin sect who was trained from an early age, Nakhin's loyalty to Jalal-Din Hassan has never changed. Even if he was killed by Jalal-Din Hassan, he was loyal to Assasin and loyal to Alamut.

"If Alamut is willing to be attached, can Dayuan still give Alamut a way to live?" ，

"Sultan?!" Naxing was frightened by Jalaldin Hassan's blunt words, and his voice was full of fear. Instead, his face was full of sadness, as if he was worried about the fate of Alamut's imminent demise.

"You saw it too! The Yuan army has a way to deal with us. They had the gunpowder that cut through the mountains and waters, and they should have been able to blow up the gates of Alamut long ago. But they didn't, not that they couldn't, but they didn't want to.

The Yuan army has never regarded us Assasin as an opponent! Jaralal-Din Hassan recounted the facts in a low voice, with a hint of pathos.

"Nope! Sudan! Allah will protect us! Although Na Xing is opposed, it sounds more like a soft comfort.

Jalal-Din Hassan scoffed and said with some self-deprecation: "Allah? From the moment Lee Seungji established Puritanism, Allah was theirs. ”。

As a high-level person, Nayuki also knows that the existence of Allah is more like a slogan. What really matters is who has the bigger fist. Now the puritanism represented by the Great Yuan is powerful, and the Allah in their mouths is the real Allah. Other Allah that were contrary to Puritanism were denounced as heretics.

Although the Great Yuan is not omnipotent, they have the ability to kill everyone who resists them. As for whether to go to hell or heaven after death, it is up to them to say anything.

Even if a high-ranking religious person like Na Xing does not believe in it, ordinary people follow it as if it were true. Therefore, in the long run, Allah of the Great Yuan will be the true Allah.

"If it had been two months ago, the Yuan army might have let us live. But now, if Malu's side does it, it may be ---", Na Xing stopped talking.

Malu's Assasin Assassins went with the intention of assassinating Lee Seungji. Now the Yuan army has not yet reacted greatly, maybe it hasn't succeeded yet, maybe it hasn't succeeded at all.

But one way or another, this incident was enough for the whole of Alamut to be buried.

"I know it's tough! If I take all the blame and dedicate all the strongholds west of Persia, such as Retribution, Damascus and Ankara, to the Great Yuan--",

"Then our Assasin will really die!" , Na Xing said in surprise.

"If you don't give it, you'll die now!" , Hassan reminded.

"But the branch of the Crescent Land, in case it does not obey the orders of the Sultan--", the Land of the Crescent refers to the valley of the two rivers, where there has always been chaos, so the branch of Assasin has been developing well. However, due to the hereditary lineage of the local patriarch, the branch gradually became familial.

Alamut had not been hit in the Persian mountains before, and the branch was quite respectful. But after encountering the coercion of Dayuan, the side began to disobey the yang and the yin.

Therefore, Alamut's orders, the branch side may not really listen to them.
