Chapter 421: The Thunder Extinguisher
The blade shimmers with cold light, and when coated with butter, it exudes a mellow aroma and a shimmering cold light. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Mustafa was polishing his weapon, a very old Damascus scimitar.
The sword was once in the possession of Timur, the most powerful orc khan since Genghis Khan, who led the beast tide to ravage tens of millions of square kilometers of the world, destroying hundreds of cities and killing hundreds of millions of people.
The most glorious and bloody moment of his career came under the city of Ankara in the year 1402 after the birth of the First Apostle of the Dark Sun.
Timur's army of 150,000 defeated and killed the Ottoman caliph, an army of nearly 100,000 led by Bayezid, nicknamed "The Thunder".
At that time, the Ottoman Empire was in the midst of a period of rapid ascent, conquering several Eastern European minions, and had just thwarted the Crusade of the Cross, which had made Europa fear.
The defeat of such a strong enemy not only made Timur the master of half the world, but also gave him a reputation as a very military strategist.
As a result, the Ottoman Empire lost more than 50,000 elite soldiers, and fell into civil war, its expansion momentum was temporarily suspended, the Eastern European vassals regained their independence, and the Byzantine Empire was able to survive for another half century.
It was a humiliation and an unprecedented disaster for the Ottoman Empire, but they survived and have now regained their majesty, taking the supposedly insurmountable Constantinople under their command and naming it after themselves.
The tumultuous Timurid Orc Empire had long since fallen apart, and although there were still some remnants, it was already far from the Ottoman Empire.
Although this has somewhat proven the tenacity of the Ottoman Empire, for Grand Prince Mustafa, he needs more evidence before he can be satisfied.
For example, the sword in his hand is one of the proofs of the superiority of the Ottoman Empire.
This sword was once drunk with the blood of "Thunder", so it was nicknamed "Thunder Extinguisher".
After several migrations, the sword was acquired by an orc prince who asked the Ottoman army to surrender, and the sword eventually fell into the hands of the Grand Prince.
Whenever he had to make a difficult decision, the eldest prince would polish and maintain this treasure knife to remind himself of the difficulties of his ancestors' entrepreneurship.
But today, after wiping for a long time, he still can't make a conservative decision.
A small lord of Tripoli, with no more than a thousand people under his command, actually dared to disobey his ten thousand talents!
"Mustafa."
The mother pushed the door in, but her voice was muffled.
So at first, of course, the eldest prince thought that it was his mother who wanted to convince him, which annoyed him, really annoyed.
In fact, Mistra's refusal to destroy Villefort's mind had made him extremely unhappy.
Although he loved his mother, he also respected her strength.
But he was the Ottoman decision-maker, and it would not be permissible to openly reject his orders like this morning.
He pondered how to explain the situation to the present in a clear, but not excessive, manner, so that she would respect her absolute authority.
But the next moment, he realized that the voice was not his mother's voice, and his mother's mouth spat out another person's voice.
It was certainly an extremely surprising experience, even for Grand Prince Mustafa.
"Teacher?!"
However, he still judged that it was his mother who had connected with Ibrahim at a great cost.
Although time was pressing, Ibrahim did not persuade his students to quit at the beginning, but observed the situation through Mistra's eyes.
Then he asked, "Although you have withdrawn this treasure sword and saved the Ottoman Empire, the prestige of Thunder is still irretrievable. ”
Mustafa looked at the yellow-colored sword in his hand and recalled how Ibrahim had lectured him about Bayezid's failure.
It was the darkest and most tragic moment in Ottoman history, and Ibrahim devoted the most energy to studying the reasons for the failure, and of course the masters and apprentices tasted the gains and losses together.
"The Ottoman Empire can prosper, but for Thunder, from the moment he dies under Timur's knife, the damage is irreparable, and his life's work will become a footnote to Timur's career."
"I'm not going to fail!" Mustafa waved the sword in his hand fiercely, "He's just the master of Tripoli, take him down, and Haireddin will understand my determination!" ”
He was not reconciled, he promised Tonis to Selim, and the port of Benghazi was a fief that he personally promised to his other brother, and he was built with great care, so that he was really angry that he lost it.
Originally, I thought that if I summoned Princess Xingyue, I would definitely make all enemies feel afraid, but I didn't expect that Hereddin was actually unstable, which led to this embarrassing situation.
"Against Tripoli, of course you won't fail, and neither will the Thunder." Ibrahim continued, "He killed the restless Danube prince before the decisive battle with Timur, so as to harshly warn the Anatolian vassals, which led to his eventual defeat!" ”
The Anatolian vassals turned to Timur, and Bayezid, who was supposed to have the advantage of being on the home turf, fell into a completely hostile environment.
The Great Prince was finally silent.
"While the Bayezid Caliph was engaged in skirmishes, Timur was consolidating his troops, keeping the orcs recharged, and even temporarily reducing robberies and rapes, which was the secret of his victory, concentrating all his forces in the most critical directions." Ibrahim then asked, "Now, what is the most critical direction?" ”
"It's to summon Princess Xingyue to ensure sea dominance in the Eastern Mediterranean." Mustafa nodded, and then said to his guard, "Pass my order, and the troops will board the ship at once and return to Alexandria at once." ”
Sultan Mystra let out a long sigh of mixed feelings, she could not convince her son, but Ibrahim could.
Unfortunately, the Grand Vizier was not very loyal to his mother and son, he was only loyal to the Ottoman Empire.
..............
When the wing of Fort Stegrenburg entered the port of Benghazi, the last ship of Ottoman troops had just left the dock for less than ten minutes.
Stegrenburg was a bit confused about what was happening at hand, and the port of Benghazi had been completely destroyed by the time he left last time.
Now, the port has been completely rebuilt, but no one is in sight.
"Ella..........
Suddenly, several heads rolled down in front of him.
This is certainly not a thriller.
"There are a few remnants of Ottoman loiters wreaking havoc, you hurry up and take control of the points." The female knight de Frisch entered the city ahead of time, and then in the arsenal, raided and killed an enemy loiterer, "The arsenal does not have to go. ”
"The first company goes to the docks!"
"The second company goes to the barn!"
"The third company will go with me to the core fortress!"
Stegrenburg quickly ordered. (To be continued.) )
