"Sorry! Sorry!"
"Sir, look at what happened. I'm really sorry!"
"I hope you will forgive my mistake, considering we are new here!"
The Pope had already dismounted and was apologizing to Fadhil and the Arab ministers and generals.
After all, this was his first time in Damascus and he had no idea what the situation was like here.
So, when the allies of Holy Egypt emerged from the castle, he thought they were rebels and even wanted to ask Fadil to kneel down.
"No problem! No problem!"
"If you hadn't come with the magician army, I'm afraid we would have lost our lives!"
"It is the adults we should be grateful to!"
"Thank you for saving my life!"
Fadhil then knelt on one knee towards the Pope, and then all the Arab soldiers, ministers and generals followed Fadhil and did the same thing.
The Pope was so shocked that he just hurried to Saul's side.
"You're too kind!"
"We are here on the orders of His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh."
"It was Lord Saul who led us here and defeated the Arab rebels."
"This is the leader of our magician team."
Saul also slowly dismounted from his horse at this time, but there was still some hesitation in his eyes.
Of course, that was the first time he used magic to kill so many people, and it was also the first time he personally experienced such a battle.
However, he has now regained some of his sanity, but he still occasionally feels as if something heavy is rocking back and forth in his brain.
"Lord Fadil, all the allies of Arabia, hello."
"We are here to support Arabia on the orders of His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh."
"But I didn't expect the rebels to have already entered Damascus, and I didn't expect the situation to be so critical."
"We are still a step late, I am really sorry."
Saul's words were very sincere. After he finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Fadhil and others.
The Pope was stunned, but so were Fadhil and the others.
Then, there was a period of silence. In the whole Damascus, one could even clearly hear the "sizzling" sound of the burning torches.
"Master Saul, I didn't expect you to be so young and promising."
"Thank you for your support! Please don't apologize to us!"
"If it weren't for you today, I'm afraid we wouldn't even have a chance to speak."
"It's just... there's one thing I don't quite understand."
"You said you came here to support under the order of His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh?"
Fadhil had already noticed something unusual by then.
Because, according to common sense, at this time, his delegation would probably only have arrived in Cairo, the Holy Egypt.
Not only that, the rebels had already told Fadil that his delegation had been massacred.
In other words, in Fadil's view, it is impossible for Holy Egypt to know the current situation in Damascus.
At this moment, several generals behind Fadil also reacted immediately, and their eyes showed a hint of vigilance again.
Some even quietly moved their arms closer to the hilt of the knife. Obviously, although Saul saved them, they could not confirm his identity at this time.
But Saul did not notice this, he just continued to speak in his sincere and frank voice.
"Yes, my lord."
"When your delegation first arrived in Holy Egypt, His Majesty Saladin wrote a letter to His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh."
"His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh seems to have discovered the current predicament of Arabia through the contents of the letter."
"His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh believes that His Majesty Saladin may need the help of Holy Egypt, but due to reasons unknown to us, His Majesty Saladin may not have made a formal request."
"So, His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh ordered us to come to Damascus and obey His Majesty Saladin's instructions."
When Saul said this, several generals behind Fadhil had already moved their arms away from the hilt of the sword.
They just stared with eyes wide open and listened quietly, not daring to miss a word the other said.
Saul swallowed hard and continued speaking.
"However, we discovered relics from the attack on your delegation along the way. We suspect that your country is sending another delegation, perhaps in need of Holy Egypt's assistance."
"So, we dared not be lazy and rushed here day and night."
"Unexpectedly, we were still a step too late, allowing the rebels to enter Damascus."
When everyone heard Saul's words, they first showed an expression of relief.
Then, their pupils began to tremble slightly, and their breathing became slightly rapid.
It was a joy.
"Thank you! Thank you, Master Saul!"
"You've arrived just in time!"
"On behalf of all the people of Damascus, please allow me to express my gratitude to you!"
"Thank you to our friend, His Majesty Saladin, the friend of Arabia, His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, and Holy Egypt!"
At this time, Fadhil knelt on one knee and bowed to Saul.
Saul was stunned, and so was the Pope.
Obviously, even the Pope had never witnessed such a scene. He had only seen such a scene when His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh was around.
Now that he was in the middle of it, he didn't know how to respond without being rude.
"I dare not! I dare not!"
"I'm sure His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh will be pleased to be able to help our allies!"
"It's all thanks to His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh for anticipating this situation. Otherwise, even if we traveled day and night, we probably wouldn't be able to catch up."
“It’s great that we can help!”
"Sir, please get up quickly, please don't do this!"
Saul just continued to speak his inner words sincerely, and then he just bent down and helped Fadhil who was kneeling on one knee.
"Sir, now that the rebels have surrendered, I'll leave the rest to you."
Fadhil smiled and nodded heavily.
However, Saul's next words immediately made Fadhil's expression freeze.
"Sir, please take me to where His Majesty Saladin is. I have a letter from His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh to His Majesty Saladin."
"If His Majesty Saladin needs any help from us, we will certainly do our best to help him."
As soon as he said this, all the Arabs present were stunned.
They were like they were frozen.
And Fadhil was also digesting Saul's words.
A few people, including Fadil, had already understood the current situation from Saul's words.
"...Lord Saul."
"His Majesty Saladin has...passed away due to illness."
"Now I, Fadhil, will temporarily assume the power of Saladin."
Now, the ones who were stunned were the magicians from Holy Egypt.
