Letifa returned from the newly built weapons testing ground, and was depressed. Sahil beside her tried to ask her several times, but several times she held back. The guards also scattered far away with interest.

Until the return of the Inspired Elder George, Letifa had been confident.

The strength of the Ali Baba Regiment was so strong that when all the princes and nobles were still immersed in the game of the Fast Horse Steel Knife - yes, in her opinion, this backward way of fighting was no different from the game - the Ibrite chariots and flying units of the Alibaba Regiment could easily crush any opponent.

The solar magic energy collectors joined forces to form clouds, psychic towers sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and the three pillars of hydra roared like thunder, day and night.

The abundant supply of magical energy and the super-notable production capacity shattered the tranquility of Dorihachi City, and the destruction of sandworms and angels descended on the Ali Baba Regiment, which was once more prestigious.

The opposition was executed, imprisoned, or exiled to the depths of the desert, enthusiastically supported by the favored populace, and in the Holy Mosque, the Berkas, who had been in the guise of Kara for a thousand years, trembled, searched for passages from the Babel, prayed for the blessing of the new ruler, and racked their brains to find (or rather make) a theoretical basis for change.

Murtaiz in the port of Umlim and Usalim Berka in the city of Kanhala sent emissaries to reconcile with the Alibaba regiment, expressing a strong desire for an alliance and eagerly beginning to cut the checkpoints and taxes on the Pearl Road. Together, the two men came up with the idea of a "Pearl Alliance" – not an unattainable dream, as the peninsula's richest southeastern coastal region was about to be politically and economically united.

Once this vision is realized, a flood of cheap goods will flood into the interior of the peninsula, completely crushing the backward economic model based on agriculture and small handicrafts on which the princes and nobles depended. The Alibaba delegation is happy to exchange the concept of trade freedom with all the adults, of course, the sword and gun are the teachers, and the fiefdom is the tuition, everyone, are you ready to pay the tuition?

Strong production capacity, political stability, reliable allies, and, unique, supreme power.

Sahil sighed softly: "This is what Elder George called the 'demonstration effect', right? More people will join, our way is the way to save the peninsula and the Arabic people." At this rate, the secular state of centralization, centralization, and power will descend on the peninsula in three years at most, nay, two years. Hassan will become the caliph that everyone wants. ”

"It's not that easy, that Saron is still doing the delusion of counterattack in the depths of the desert. ”

"Hassan will soon plow the court and sweep the caves. ”

"The Bercas everywhere will encourage the believers to oppose us, and the two factions of Lasani and Shriya will join forces, are you afraid?"

"Strength, we have quality. "Behold, for the first time in a thousand years, these civilians, who worship the laws laid down by Mahammad as the golden rule, and who tremble in everything, do not pray at the appointed time. No one forced them with the sword, they made their own choice. Just for a livelihood, in order to give the family a hope. What's the use of Burka's clichés and empty preaching when more and more people are benefiting from this kind of life?"

"What about traditions?"

"Just let the advanced production methods crush it. Times have changed," exclaimed Sahil, "and a hundred thousand people take a hammer and strike it for a month, rather than a pillar of Hydra for three days." The recalcitrant can only be a hermit and a remnant - if he can solve the problem of livelihood. ”

"When that day comes, will it still be Arabi?"

"Accept the change, Letifa. Well, if you're worried that the people won't be able to accept it, don't forget that we still have the full version of the "Commentary on the Book of Heaven", and it will be no problem for Najmuddin Da Burka to change the content - believe it or not, and those who are willing to eat dirt behind their butts can go and eat to their heart's content. ”

This sentence made Letifa laugh: "When did you become the vanguard of reform?"

Sahil stretched in satisfaction: "As I said just now, times have changed. Hassan is not just Hassan. ”

"What do you mean?"

"He represents a new idea, a new way, a new path. From this point of view, it doesn't matter if his name is Hassan, Heisan, Musan, or all kinds of mulberry, it's the same. We just have to go his way. ”

Letifa stopped, turned around and looked at Sahir, who was deliberately half a position behind him: "Sahir, you have something to say, don't go around in circles!"

"Ah, the head of the regiment is so powerful, the minister is afraid, and the minister deserves death. ”

"Sahir, you don't want this!"

Sahil stared straight into the girl's eyes, and after a long time, said, "You have changed. You're scared. ”

Letifa's heart shuddered, and Sahil could see it.

"You're scared of Hassan, afraid he's taking away everything you have now and what you're going to have. You're starting to get suspicious of him. ”

"I ......"

"He loves the land and his lover so much that he is willing to give everything for it – just like you. Sahir sighed deeply, "A hero must have a heroic consciousness, no matter who the enemy is, use this fearless courage to crush him," he called the girl's real name in a low voice: "Imani, you are the heir of the empire, and when you have no strength, you can only avoid the empire from falling into the hands of those with ill intentions." Now, you have the power to sweep through everything......"

Sahir raised his eyes to look at her, "I know what you think. Is it right to use the identity of the heir of the empire to force Hassan to submit and make him the caliph of the future empire?"

Letifa's body shook a little.

"Hassan, are you willing to watch me make mistakes one after another and ruin our hard work? For the sake of the peninsula and the nation, I need your guidance and companionship!"

She repeated this sentence a thousand times in her dreams, and even thought of her expression and tone, but she never said it to Hassan.

Perhaps, I'm running away, right?

Now, there is no way out.

"There is no way out," Sahil looked at her sympathetically, "and having seen the power of Islam — which Hassan and Elder George call cruel angels — you begin to fear. That terrifying power can destroy everything in the Alibaba League in an instant!"

The girl's shoulders began to tremble: "Yes. ”

"Maybe you still have the illusion that it is Hassan's lover, and Hassan will not be bad for me, and besides, there is only one, so it doesn't matter...... But!" Sahil raised his voice, "Today at the New Weapons Test Ground, Elder George showed you another cruel angel, which he used the Pillar of Hydra and our unknown technology to use the resources of this, inside, and production!"

The girl shook her head coldly.

"He and the Inspired Sect behind him can crush everything at any time, and if he becomes a caliph, no power can limit him except his personal conduct, and he will become a dictator and tyrant like never before!" Sahir shook his head sadly: "There is no way out, Imani, Hassan is too far ahead, we can't catch up!"

Imani cried: "I like him, I love him, I hope he can accompany me through the road of empire, accompany me through the road of life, woo woo woo ......"

"Half a step ahead is a hero, one step ahead is a madman, and Hassan, he is almost thrown out of sight! The sword of doomsday judgment hangs over everyone's heads all the time, even if we understand him, how can the people accept it? The peninsula can't stand the toss!"

The girl threw herself into his arms, cried aloud, and cried out Sahir's real name.

"Garyb, Garyb, my best friend, tell me, what am I going to do, what to do - if you dare to kill him, I'll kill you first!

Gariber patted her on the back and whispered in her ear, "In a secular country, girls can be caliphs, right?"

Princess Imani's eyes flashed: "And what about Hassan?"

"How could a mortal do such a thing? He is clearly an angel sent by the Holy Lord, and when the mission is completed, of course he will return to the Holy Lord's steps. ”

"But, but ......"

Garribber smiled warmly: "There is only one person who walks in the world and comes to the peninsula for a tour, and accidentally meets Her Royal Highness the Princess, no, Her Majesty the Caliph's Dorland former little patrolman Dak, right?"
