King Richard stood up and said to the nobles who did not know what to say: "The Duke of Burgundy is right. We cannot have any foolproof plan. Wars have always coexisted with risks and glory. We cannot fight a war with only glory but no risks."

Wolfgang also spoke, "The fighter jets were discovered on the battlefield. How could we develop a plan to completely defeat Saladin here? Besides, we are facing the most powerful overlord here, and it is impossible to solve him by just one battle. If that's the case, why can't we take action and regain Jerusalem, which should belong to Christians?"

"Remember, our glory can only be produced by the weapons in our own hands, not by saying it here!" Richard left his seat and looked around. The armor on his body jingled, but there was a faint murderous aura.

After these words, all the nobles who fought were naturally excited. Yes, Saladin was powerful, but not as powerful as invincible as they could not defeat. Moreover, they believed that they had God's blessings. Under God's blessings, the Crusaders were invincible. Although they had just lost one battle, except for the Western Qin people, the rest of the troops were almost completely damaged. Now, it is the time for them to recover their morale and prove their loyalty to God.

A small number of nobles looked at the Dharma King hesitantly. They had never expected Saladin to be so powerful before. They thought that as long as they followed the large army, Saladin would escape and fight at most a few good fights.

In other words, they did want to fight a war with only glory but no risks before.

They did not expect Saladin to be so powerful that he even captured the Swiss Duke who was considered to be quite skilled in martial arts. They did not want to be the second Duke of Switzerland, so they all looked at the Dharma King Charlie. They understood that there was only the Dharma King in it that could convince the commander of the British King and the Holy Roman Empire to change their minds.

But the Dharma King was very smart. He knew that now was not the time to object. After all, let alone Richard and Wolfgang had already said so clearly. If he objected, he would only make him feel uncomfortable. But now most people in the entire venue are tending to take the initiative to seek war, and it is absolutely impossible for him to go against the will of most people for the sake of these few people.

"Agree, I think you are right. I was too cautious before," the Dharma King immediately changed his words, "Saladin is not terrible. We cannot become timid because of a defeat. God's glory cannot be blasphemed!"

The Dharma King was quite righteous, but few people knew the true thoughts in his heart. In fact, only the British King who had been "dealing" with him for many years could vaguely detect some of them, but they would not say them in person. After all, for King Richard, as long as the Dharma King did not object, the rest would not be a serious problem, and he did not expect the Dharma King to make any valuable suggestions in the battle.

Now that the three supreme commanders of the Crusaders have reached a unified opinion, the others naturally have to obey. Whether they want to or not, the battle will begin.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Just as the Crusaders were discussing the follow-up plan, Acre, a city deliberately forgotten by the crusaders, was finally broken down by the Egyptians and brought back to the hands of the Muslims.

There are less than two thousand remaining crusaders, including those who cannot fight. From this number, we can fully see how tenacious the combat power and willpower of this army are. It is Saladin's luck that the main force of the Crusaders failed to save them.

In fact, if it weren't for the defeat of Jaffa, it would be possible that the Crusaders led by Thomas could have persisted until the arrival of reinforcements, allowing the Crusaders to take the absolute initiative in strategy. Unfortunately, there are not so many ifs on the battlefield.

"What have you done with those soldiers?" Saladin looked at a map drawn on sheepskin next to the table, and asked Adil without raising his head. Obviously, such a small thing is not worth much distracting for Saladin.

"Apart from a few nobles, all were executed." Adil replied indifferently.

Although Adil promised to ensure their lives when the Crusaders surrendered, in his opinion, since the Crusaders made a massacre in Akri and had so many Muslims' blood on their hands, there was no reason to release them. As for their previous promises, Adil felt that there was no need to tell any credibility to a group of executioners.

"Oh, I get it." Saladin didn't say much.

He himself did not agree with this move. Killing prisoners or killing surrender would only make the opponent's subsequent resistance more intense. This was not what Saladin wanted to see, but at the same time he also understood that the hands of these crusaders were stained with too much blood from civilians, and not killing would not be enough to calm the anger of the public.

(They are different from Bai Zhou. If in Saladin's heart, Bai Zhou is a real warrior, and this part of the crusaders are more like cold-blooded butchers than heroic warriors.)

Although Saladin held the supreme power of Egypt, he did not have the right to decide everything, and he also needed more people to support him. Otherwise, he would feel deeply powerless in the face of the divine power.

"How long does it take for the soldiers to finish their rest?" Saladin asked. At this time, he put down his things and looked at Adil.

"Anytime, anywhere, they can welcome the next battle with the highest morale!"

"I don't want to listen to this kind of thing. My brother, what I want is the actual situation." Saladin raised his eyebrows, his voice a little unhappy.

"This is the reality. Although Akri has lost a lot of troops, the rest of the troops have not consumed much energy." Adil said truthfully.

After conquering Akri, he lost a lot of soldiers. A rough estimate is that it should be about three times the number of people lost by the Crusaders. However, those were all soldiers under the other Emirs. As for the soldiers of the Ayub family, the losses were almost negligible.

In fact, if Saladin had not personally led his troops and defeated the Crusaders in Jaffa City, the other Emirs would have been unable to say anything more to complain. Otherwise, Adil's method of "killing people with a knife" at the city of Acre would have been furious long ago.

Saladin did not oppose Adil's approach. In fact, Saladin had long begun to dislike these big-tied emirs.

That's right, when Egypt was not very powerful, these emirs gave themselves great help. It can even be said that without the support of these emirs, Saladin would not be able to invade the north, and perhaps even the Egyptian land would not be able to complete unification.

But after they occupied Jerusalem, all this changed. These emirs no longer obeyed the precepts in the Quran as they did before, and in war, they no longer feared death. They began to become extravagant, timid, and selfish.

If it weren't for the Crusaders to launch a large-scale conquest this time and not for the great enemy, then Saladin might not be able to mobilize the troops in the hands of these emirs normally.

This was very unfavorable to his rule, but Saladin had almost no good idea. After all, these people held military power and had made contributions before. There was no appropriate reason, even Saladin could not do anything to them.

Of course, the most important thing is that Saladin has no time to deal with these problems - he just conquered Jerusalem, and in a few years, a series of problems such as people's livelihood and security in this area have not been solved. Then the Crusaders came again, which made Saladin have no extra time to deal with these emirs.

Therefore, Saladin did not object to Adil's "killing with a knife", but he hoped that he would clean his hands and feet next time he did this kind of thing, so that everyone could see it at a glance, which would be more worth the loss.

"Brother, do you think the Crusaders will continue to attack us?" Adil asked. Since Saladin asked when the soldiers could finish resting, the implication was that the battle would likely break out again soon.

But Adil did not feel that the newly defeated Crusaders had the courage to compete with them again.

"It's certain. They haven't even seen what Jerusalem looks like yet, so naturally they can't give up so easily." Saladin said.

"But they just failed, so they should need more time to rest than us. Besides, our scouts in Asuf have not noticed any abnormal movements." Adil was a little confused. After all, he was not Saladin, and he was far inferior in terms of mind and energy.

For example, if Saladin personally went to surrender to the crusaders in Acre, then no matter how many others oppose it, Saladin would not do anything without trust.

"It is precisely because they just failed that they need a big victory to restore morale. As for the scout?" Saladin smiled: "If the Crusaders who suffered a loss have not yet gained a memory, then there is no need for us to take them to heart."

"What do you mean?"

"We cannot place all hope on the scouts. I guess the Crusaders will be much more careful this time. It is impossible for us to know all their actions like the last time." Saladin unconsciously looked at the map again, and he was thinking about countermeasures at all times, a countermeasure that could completely defeat the Crusaders, but this was not easy.

"So, this time, which direction do you think they will choose to attack Jerusalem?" asked Adil. After all, there is more than one way to go from Asuf to Jerusalem. Before you can grasp the true movements of the Crusaders in advance, it would undoubtedly be a big advantage for the Egyptians.

"It's still here." Saladin confidently pointed to a point on the sheepskin map.

"Jaffa? They just lost a battle here, why would they choose here?" Adil was puzzled.
