"We are the noblest believers of the stars and moons, and we are the true masters of the spring and the land!"

With the clamor of Muhammad, the morale of the Star-Moon believers outside the Citadel of Tripoli became more and more high, and both the immigrants of Zuwara and the inhabitants of the Godafe tribe were infected by emotions.

Ever since they arrived in the port of Tripoli, they have tried to endure these infidels, showing great kindness and gentleness, neither slaughtering the non-believers nor demanding that they immediately convert to the Lord of the Star and Moon.

But those infidels regard the leniency of these good believers as weakness, and today everyone has a firm belief that after paying so much for the prosperity and stability of the port of Tripoli, their patience has reached the limit, and if they do not get the Star Moon Temple today, they will have to make those infidels.

However, in the crowd, there was also a person with low morale, although on the surface he was also raising his arms and shouting, but if you look closely, you can see that he is only making movements with his lips, and he is not roaring hard.

Maybe it's because of age, after all, a nomad in his fifties can already be considered a long life among nomads, and a nomad who toils in the wind and sand may not live to be fifty years old, even if he is a mid-level samurai.

Of course, there is another explanation, that is, this person actually does not agree with this set of activities at all, and actually laughs at these stupid believers in his heart, although he is also a Star Moon Cultist.

This old man in his fifties is the same Commander Turgut who was in charge of the overall situation in Tunisia some time ago and entertained Amin.

Fighting was raging in the Tunisian region, and although the city of Tunis was easily captured by the Barbary pirates, the resistance of the Hassf dynasty was not over.

Murray-Hassan, who led the remnants to retreat to the southern region of Gabbes, has reraised the banner of resistance.

In the previous round, the clumsy Murray Hassan showed a certain amount of grace this time, and he did not rush to call himself Sultan. Instead, he continued to honor the captured little nephew.

This made it impossible for Hayreddin to cause chaos by releasing the little Sultan back, and he was supported.

After the queen mother and the little sultan were arrested together, the other remnants of the governor and prince, on the contrary, all strengthened their minds and supported the prince's uncle.

Among the inland nomadic tribes far from the sea, the royal family of Hasf still has a certain prestige. What Hayreddin said that the Hassf family's self-proclaimed caliphate was an affront to the Ottoman Empire and the Lord of the Star and Moon, and this excuse had no appeal at all on the ground.

The sultan of Tunisia is the caliph, and the Hasf family is the caliphate, which is a matter of course for the local nomads.

Heledin has always flaunted the banner of the Xingyue Sect's sea wall, and this time it has completely collapsed, even if the words are still beautiful, a clear-eyed person can still see through it at a glance, and there is no religious reason for this contest. It's just an ordinary struggle for power.

The local people were not very aware of the power of the Ottoman Empire, and the remnants of the Hasf dynasty, which had ruled for nearly two hundred years, were still alive, and the local nomads were slowly gathering to prepare for a battle with the pirates for glory and wealth.

Overall, despite a victory, the situation in Tunisia is far from stabilizing.

As Hayreddin's most important lieutenant, Turgut did not lead the attack on the stronghold controlled by the Hasf family. Instead of staying in the most important Tunisian city, he arrived outside the port of Tripoli with only a few retinues.

Several people around him were shouting slogans with great effort. Some of them were devout Star and Moon cultists, so they were really reciting the scriptures in good faith, and some of them had just been captured from the small towns on the Italian coastline, and because they were physically strong, they were incorporated into the pirate team, and they did not dare to recite the scriptures insincerely.

It's just that the status and qualifications have reached the point of Turgut, and these superficial efforts don't matter. It doesn't matter if he is a later convert.

Thirty years ago, he had served Hayreddin's brother Aru.

Like his current rivals, the Yeniselli Army, Turgut was a Greek who believed in the goddess of magic as a teenager and was captured on a pirate ship by a gang of Barbary pirates because of his stiff stature. And he quickly adapted to the new environment, he got a new name, a new faith, a new life.

As painful as it was at the time, Hayreddin knew that Turgut could no longer even remember his old name, that the faces of his slain father and his mother and sister who had been sold into slavery had blurred and had not appeared in his dreams for many years.

Of course, he is not completely indifferent, after becoming a high-ranking pirate, he tried to find his mother and sister, but the Barbary pirates did not have the habit of establishing a strict ledger in business, so they were really powerless to find the direction of the goods.

Turgut gradually turned his energy and affection to his wife and children, and he was grateful to Aru and Hayreddin for giving him all this.

After Captain Sokuru fled back to Tunisia in a hurry, Heledin asked Turgut to personally confirm the strength of the Tripoli port group and grasp Wu Xin's strength.

Hayreddin told Turgut that he was more worried about Wu Xin and the demigod lich than Murray Hassan.

Sazastan was indeed a dangerous enemy, and the fact that he had killed a promising captain with a single finger of magic made none of the Barbary pirates and Ottoman navy who did not know his reputation dare to underestimate him.

But logically speaking, there is a Murray-Hassan between the port of Tripoli and the city of Tunis, and the control of the sea is completely in the hands of Haireddin, who has no need to guard against Wu Xin.

And grasping the statement of the amount of equipment makes Turgut a little confused.

In Turgut's view, Wu Xin would not be stupid enough to form an alliance with Hayreddin to flank Murray Hassan, which is a strategy to obviously hasten his own death, and now those French-speaking knights in the port of Benghazi are now in a life-and-death dilemma because they have chosen the wrong ally.

However, since Haireddin said so, Turgut came to make some trouble for Wu Xin, and of course he didn't play a key role in asking himself.

He came too late, and he refused to reveal his heels, so he hid his strength, and his impact on the situation was actually not great.

Much of the work was done by Pastor Mohammed and the various powerful members of the Godafi tribe. Turgut felt that Hyreddin's concern for Wu Xin was superfluous, because no capable leader should sit idly by and watch the situation develop to this point.

Absorbing young adults into the army, and then allocating some women and fertile land, this kind of trick is not difficult to think of, it just requires execution. And the failure to implement it well can only show that Wu Xin's ability is limited.

Of course, he didn't think that the situation would get completely out of control, these "petitioners" did not have the ability to conquer the castle, and the leaders of those nomadic tribes saw Wu Xin's massacre of half-ogres, and they did not have the courage to do so.

They only hoped to weaken Wu Xin's authority and save themselves from being annexed.

That's pretty much the same thing about Turgut's goal.

He looked at the horizon, Wu Xin appeared with hundreds of cavalry, and smiled coldly at the corner of his mouth.

Under such circumstances, Wu Xin accepted the petition. Or the massacre of these immigrants will provoke fierce internal antagonism.

Accepting the petition, the followers of the stars and moons will rely on their numerical superiority to demand the dominion of the port of Tripoli step by step, and among the senior Hospitallers, there will definitely be hardliners who will launch infighting against the weak leaders.

Failure to accept the petition will lead to the intensification of ethnic conflicts. He will not be able to replenish his forces from the inhabitants of the stars and moons at all, and the troops composed of the basic plate will become less and less in battle.

And for a long time to come. Losing the ability to expand, the vast majority of his energy is occupied by endless internal distractions.

Turgut and his men were capable of causing a lot of trouble for hundreds of cavalrymen in a melee, and their camels were of the best quality, and they were fed strength for several days, and they were fed the finest beans.

The fiercer the resistance, the deeper the scars left by the infighting in the port of Tripoli.

By the time Hayreddin had overcome the resistance of the Hasf family, he would be able to deal with the meagre port of Tripoli with the strength of Algiers and Tunisia.

Of course, Turgut thought that it was more likely that Wu Xin would still attack by arson, after all, he accepted the request of "establishing the Xingyue Temple and internal autonomy". It is a shameful act of kneeling to death, which is still very rare in this era.

So he clenched the scimitar in his arms and prepared to fight, although the chances were not good, but he still had to try to decapitate.

There must be a dream, and if it comes true.

However, Wu Xin appeared with his troops and did not attack, but slowly stopped his horses and took the initiative to start shouting.

However, the content of the shouting was not the intimidation before the final charge, nor the weak acceptance of the so-called "petition".

Wu Xin first asked his subordinates to beat their shields and armor, and used the sound of metal to crush the praise of the Xingyue believers, and then directly led a dozen guards to squeeze through the crowd and rushed to the temporary high platform built by Pastor Muhammad.

Turgut saw him get closer and closer, and felt that an opportunity was in front of him.

But looking at the skeleton on Wu Xin's shoulder, he hesitated again.

Before leaving, Hayreddin told him that Sazastan's impatience to use the "Finger of Death" against a mere mid-level mage only meant that he was extremely short of materials for spellcasting, and that he probably didn't have much in stock.

Although he had not heard of "soldiers, treacherous ways." Therefore, it can be shown but cannot be used, and it is not used to show it. These two wise sayings, but with years of war experience and his own talent, he accurately saw Wu Xin's strategy.

But seeing a strategy is completely different from being able to crack a strategist, after all, what is the situation in Sazastan, it requires an elite-level combat power to test with life.

It's easy for you to speak, but it's hard for me to die.

Turgut finally pressed the heart of the fame of killing Sazastan and continued to watch Wu Xin speak.

He saved his life by doing so, and although Wu Xin's supplies were extremely scarce, it was more than enough for Sazastan to use the "Death Finger" again after obtaining the spell casting materials brought by Sherlock.

Wu Xin asked Sazastan to use the "Finger of Death" to make the enemy afraid and prevent the enemy from daring to attack, but he did not pin all his hopes on the enemy being blinded by his strategy, and to show his strength against the wise people again.

The key is to ensure that all strategies are implemented as much as possible.

Wu Xin didn't notice Turgut next to him, the old pirate looked ordinary, and he was wearing a robe, covering the high-quality heavy armor inside.

He gave all his attention to Pastor Muhammad.

"Welcome to the people of Tripoli, and today I have bad news for you. The Xingyue Temple, which was about to start construction, could not lay the foundation stone smoothly. "Wu Xin's words made all the Star Moon Cultists, including Turgut, a little confused for a while." And it was Muhammad who was a thief by the name of Manla! ”

Wu Xin did not drag his feet, at this time, the situation was very tense, he immediately threw out a thinking bomb to disturb the enemy's thinking.

However, Turgut reacted immediately, at least he thought he had reacted, Wu Xin didn't want to use violence, but he refused to accept the agreement directly, so he was playing tricks.

At this time, Muhammad still had a chance to stir up the situation as long as he yelled, but Turgut only saw that the priest, who had behaved quite well a few days ago, was sweating profusely, and he was speechless.

Wu Xin's voice sounded alone, and he lied without hesitation: "For a long time, I have always wanted to build a Xingyue Temple for everyone, because I have always believed that faith is the home of each of us, and everyone needs a home. But as you know, there are so many things inside and outside the port of Tripoli that I have to share some things with other people, such as the construction of the Star and Moon Temple, so I asked Mohammed, the so-called priest. ”

Wu Xin said that he was already extremely sad here: "But this time, I was deceived by Muhammad! He swindled a lot of money from everyone to squander, and persuaded some pious widows to donate the land I gave them, in fact I had already allocated him the best piece of land on the beach, he collected the land and sold it to some depraved local tyrants and gentry, and then used the illegal proceeds for ** mistress! ”

"In fact, as early as the time of Zuwara, he had already colluded with ogres and lived a corrupt and depraved life." Wu Xin attacked the three ways directly, and at the same time, he also buckled the basin in collusion with the ogre on Muhammad's head.

At the same time, with a slight wave of Kessler's hand, several knights and apprentices brought the elaborate repertoire to the stage.

Contrary to Turgut's speculation, Wu Xin has never relaxed his focus on internal instability.

Several children of different skin tones rushed to the stage together, then hugged Mohammed's feet and shouted "Daddy".

Thousands of Xingyue believers were shocked, and they all waited for Muhammad to defend himself, but Muhammad's eyes widened, and his hair was wet with sweat, and he just couldn't speak.

Wu Xin was yelling at the crowd to expose Muhammad's other crimes.

At this time, it should be Odd Kessler who went up to defeat Muhammad, and the work of defeating the enemy priest was specially reserved for him, although he was only a low-level priest, but Kessler still insisted on dealing with him by himself, and the fastest way for the priest to gain strength was to slaughter the enemy priest.

But Kessler's movements were a little sluggish, and Cassano, who was still riding in the audience, saw that he seemed to be injured, and that the enemy also had a hidden mage?

Wait, it seems that Kessler said that he was injured when he came here, or was he injured by Ciric?

Cassano found that he was really old, and he couldn't remember it clearly, and he hesitated whether to continue to protect Wu Xin, or to step forward and defeat Muhammad, who was temporarily "silenced".

The old pirate Turgut clenched the scimitar in his arms, waiting for the opportunity to cut off Wu Xin's head. (To be continued......)
