The Heroic Legend of Arslan 1-17

Narsus asks if he can accompany him on his journey to the port city. He tells him that he has an acquaintance in the port who can make him delicious meals. He asks if there is another among them who can do such a good job. He says that he too can make such meals, and he asks if anyone else can do the same. He promises to take care of the meal for him. He then tells them to sit down and wait for Daryun to come back. Daryun tells them that they need to think of ways to get the enemy to move where they want them to move. That's the first step of military strategy, he says. When one becomes the king of a kingdom, he needs to devise a strategy so that he cannot lose to the enemy forces. This is the pride of the king who has never lost in battle or politics. If he proves to be the king, he will cast aside his position as the court painter without notice. He also says that even if they run into the enemy, he doesn't want to kill him because he has no idea what they're talking about. They've just gotten word that the enemy army has lost, and they don't know where the king is. They hear chatter about the battle, and then they hear that the king has been summoned to court. The Archbishop of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre is here to convey the will of God to the heathens. He warns them not to criticize him for showing mercy to them, but rather to go to hell or anywhere else where they will be devoured by their own brutality. The people of the church should kill him
