"But the nearest Ottoman out post can send their reinforcements here in less than an hour!" Julian felt like giving this lazy man a tight slap to let him better realise what is going on in the world around him. 

"Relax, Julian. The reinforcements will not come, at least not from these outposts around." Nikolas stopped spending his time on Julian and went back to packing and loading these valuables on to his ships. 

"They won't come… What do you mean!" 

"Just trust me! They will not come!" 

And indeed, Nikolas is right, not even a single reinforcement came helping out on the city of Thessaloniki. The city is like a lonely baby abandoned by the Sultanate which did not send one single reinforcement to her aid.
