The Murayi people could not find any trace of the assassin under all kinds of searches, and after careful investigation, they did not find the entry of the merchants of the Great Song Empire, and everyone wondered who had inadvertently sinned a certain god and provoked his crazy revenge, and had fled after achieving his goal. They all breathed a sigh of relief, put an end to their days of waiting, and began to recruit and train 'devotees' again, urging the local patrons to pay tribute and resume business.

In order to reassure the people, the Murayi bosses announced that they had captured the assassins and brought several 'heretics' to publicly execute them in order to demonstrate their authority, deter the cultists, and warn the rebels. However, in the bottom of their hearts, they felt uneasy about the Assassins who came and went, and the losses caused to their top brass were needless to say, and countless middle-level and grass-roots elites died in the resulting turmoil, resulting in a great loss of strength.

At the same time as the loss of personnel, it also dealt a heavy blow to the economy of Murayi, everyone was busy chasing and killing the assassins, fighting with each other, where did they have the time and energy to do 'business', plus the heavy losses of the peripheral organizations, it was equivalent to cutting an artery; and those who were usually obedient to the financiers, wishing they were killed by the assassins, and died in the infighting, how could they take the initiative to send tribute to the door; and in order to avoid vendettas, many people fled from Murayi.

It can be said that the assassination of an unknown person has caused a lot of damage to the country of Murayi, and the more serious consequence is to damage their reputation, think about the fact that you call yourself the 'country of assassins', but you made the assassins restless, and even the heirs died, who will believe in your strength, I better go to those people. This suspicion has greatly reduced their control over the surrounding forces and the deterrent power of the congregation.

And right now. Umid received a report from his men who had traveled to various places to collect tribute, saying that it was rumored that their assassin had been discovered during the assassination of the merchant who had returned from the Great Song Dynasty. failed to complete the task, and in the subsequent search, all the dispatched Fidai were wiped out. It was revealed that they were from the country of Murayi, and that they had been sent by the Sheikh to carry out the assassination. This incident aroused the anger of the whole country of the Great Song Dynasty, and the government and the opposition demanded that Mu Rayi be conscripted to destroy the country.

The merchants also heard that the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty was a man who would inevitably raise troops to fight, and these merchants from the Western Regions were strictly checked, and for fear of persecution, they disposed of the goods after the lifting of martial law and hurried back. Before leaving, they found that the generals from all over the country had gathered in Luoyang City, as if they were discussing the crusade, and on the way back, there were already troops moving westward, especially the Gaochang army that was destroyed had entered a state of combat readiness.

This is also a chance for the bigwigs of the country to understand what kind of enemy they are facing. When I heard that the Great Song Dynasty had a land spanning thousands of miles, occupying the richest land in East Asia, with a population of nearly 100 million, and the national strength was very strong and wealthy, even ordinary people wore silk sewn clothes, the merchant ships moored in the harbor were constantly coming and going, and the boats transporting grain in the canal could not be seen end to end. The city where the Great Song Emperor lived had a population of one million, and the palaces built were magnificent, taller and more majestic than the Caliph's Baghdad. There is an endless stream of envoys from all over the world who go to worship every New Year.

What surprised Umid the most was that the military strength of the Great Song Dynasty was far stronger than he imagined, and the Black Khitan, who had just defeated the Seljuk Sultan Sanjar, was not their opponent, and was driven out of the Uighurs in Gaochang, not to mention that they were defeated in several encounters. Or because one of the imperial concubines of the Great Song Dynasty was a Khitan who interceded for them to avoid being annihilated. And they have an army of 500,000 men, and the army that captured Baghdad and almost captured the caliphate is only a small part of the naval army, and if the whole army is mobilized, it is afraid that the whole Arab world will be captured by it.

And the reason why the army of the Great Song Dynasty was invincible and invincible. In addition to being well-trained, but also because they have indestructible firearms at their disposal. According to a merchant who was fortunate enough to see the Song army's military exercises, he said. Even the firearms in the hands of ordinary soldiers can shoot projectiles that can pierce two layers of iron armor at a distance of 200 paces. There is also a weapon called artillery, which can fire iron bullets with a bowl mouth. The range is a thousand paces, the sound booms are more than ten miles, even the boulder will be blown to pieces, the men and horses are next to the bones of the corpses, no matter how strong the fortress can not withstand its attack, and the armies they have encountered are all fleeing in despair.

When they heard about the attack on the kingdom of Murazi, the merchants immediately decided that it was the work of the Song people, because the weapons used by the attackers were owned by no one except the Great Song. According to folk rumors in the Great Song Dynasty, the emperor had an elite guard army by his side. The members were the elite of the army, trained by the emperor himself to carry out secret missions. But no one knows the specific situation of this pro-army, only heard that these people are all black clothes and black horses, guarding the emperor's side on weekdays, and they will also cover their faces with black scarves when they go out, and no one has ever seen their true faces, which is very mysterious.

Legend has it that the soldiers in this pro-army are omnipotent in the heavens and the earth, and the heads of the generals are like probing for things among the ten thousand armies. Because they carry out secret missions, they don't know much about their deeds. But everyone believes that the assassination of the Jin Emperor Wu Qimai, the killing of the important minister Han Fang, the attack and killing of most of the generals of the Jin State in the city of Pingzhou, which was fortified by tens of thousands of troops, and the events that once disturbed the chickens and dogs of Xingqing Mansion in Western Xia and prompted him to surrender and beg for peace were all committed by him.

Now that the Murazi Kingdom assassinated the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, how could they give up, and they must have sent people to retaliate, otherwise how to explain these strange phenomena. Through two battles, the Fei Dayi cultivated by the Murayi Kingdom were all defeated, even if they engaged in this kind of shady assassination, it was not the opponent of the Great Song Dynasty, and the merchants estimated that this was only the beginning of revenge, and the more powerful ones were still behind, and the one hiding in the mountains was probably dangerous......

Shocked and annoyed by the information gathered by his men, he realized that he had encountered a strong opponent, and he was not worried about the so-called expedition of the Song Dynasty, his fortress was in a precipitous mountain range, and he was self-sufficient, and he was not afraid of a siege by a large army. It is not easy for the opponent to mobilize a large army to launch an expedition, they have to cross the vast sea of sand and cross the mountains to get here, and only supplies can drag them down.

Fatally, the Great Song Emperor must have understood this truth, so he only sent a small force to come, they were small in number, did not need logistical support, and were flexible and easy to hide. As a veteran assassin, Umid knew that the key to a successful assassination was to be able to hide in the shadows and seize the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow, but now the situation is reversed, he is in the light, and there are many targets for attack, and those assassins sent by the Great Song are in the shadows, and they can seize the loopholes on their side at any time to attack, which makes people unguardable.

Another thing that made Umid anxious was that now that the news brought back by the caravan was known to Umid himself, and the cultists below must be aware of it! In order to stabilize the mood of the sect, he kept saying that he had captured those assassins and corrected them. The truth is embarrassing, not only did he fail to catch the assassins who killed his son, but he didn't even know their identities.

This deception could not be concealed from the senior missionaries, whose 'incompetence' had shaken his position. If another successful assassination attempt, even if it only resulted in the death of a dog in his castle, his reputation would be severely affected. The reality is that the congregation heard that the news that the Great Song Dynasty had sent people to retaliate had spread, which caused panic among the people in the upper and lower ranks, and he could only stand up for what he was wrong.

Umid soon issued an edict to the congregation declaring the Great Song emperor 'Satan' and preparing to invade the Arab world, but he would be punished by Allah, and the army he sent would be buried in the sand, he would be killed by the heroes of the Prophet, and the kingdom of Murayi would be victorious in the holy war. At the same time, in order to prevent the 'rumors' from continuing to spread, he ordered the border to be sealed, the merchants were forbidden to enter the country, and those who spread the news privately were severely punished!

But this time Allah was on Satan's side again, and just days after Umid issued his message, a crisis befell him...... (To be continued......)
