Chapter 37: Prisoners Of War

Farid Ali Comrade was not happy to hear that Nadia had been taken captive, and he was filled with anger and frustration. He knew that she was an important member of their army, and he was worried about her safety.

Despite his anger, Farid knew that he had to wait for Khan's orders before taking any action. He trusted Khan's judgment and leadership, and he knew that Khan would have a plan to rescue Nadia and the other prisoners.

Farid continued to prepare his soldiers for battle, drilling them and making sure that they were well-equipped. He knew that they would need to be ready for anything, as the situation was becoming more and more dangerous with each passing day.

As Farid waited for Khan's orders, he prayed for the safety of Nadia and the other prisoners. He knew that they were in a precarious situation, and he hoped that they would be rescued soon.

Ibrahim knew that he needed to act quickly to secure the release of Bamsi and the other commanders who had been taken prisoner. He demanded that Khan exchange his commander Marcellus and his soldiers in exchange for Bamsi's release.

Khan was furious at the demand, but he knew that he needed to negotiate a deal. He couldn't afford to lose Bamsi, who was a valuable member of his army and a skilled commander. Marcellus was also an important asset, but he was willing to make the trade if it meant getting Bamsi back.

After negotiations, Khan agreed to exchange Marcellus and his soldiers for Bamsi's release. The exchange took place at a neutral location, with both sides carefully watching each other. Bamsi was finally released, and he returned to Khan's army, ready to fight once again.

After Khan successfully rescued Bamsi from Ibrahim's custody, he ordered Ali to find out who had leaked their intelligence to Ibrahim. However, despite Ali's best efforts, he was unable to gather any useful information.

Khan was frustrated with the situation, as he knew that there must be a traitor within his ranks. He feared that this traitor could cause further damage to his army and his plans.

Meanwhile, Bamsi was recovering from his injuries and was eager to get back to leading his unit. He was grateful to be back in the safety of Khan's army and was determined to make up for lost time.

As the war raged on, Khan continued to strategize and plan his next move. He knew that he needed to make a decisive move soon if he was to emerge victorious. The fate of the kingdom was at stake, and he could not afford to lose.

After the successful rescue of Bamsi from Ibrahim's army, Khan realized the importance of having skilled soldiers on his side. He gathered his most trusted commanders, including Ali, Farid, and Rashid, and gave them a dangerous and vital task - to climb the walls of Frost Gate Castle and open the gates for General Boran's cavalry army.

Later that night Ali, Farid, Rashid, and the other 20 skilled soldiers began their mission by scaling the castle walls in the dead of night. They moved with precision and agility, avoiding detection from the enemy soldiers patrolling the ramparts. The soldiers were all skilled climbers, and they made their way up the walls with ease.

Once they reached the top of the walls, they found themselves facing the castle's gate. Ali had been chosen for the critical task of opening the gate, and he immediately set to work. He used his expert lock-picking skills to open the gate quietly, hoping to avoid detection.

However, as soon as the gate creaked open, the enemy soldiers spotted the intruders. They sounded the alarm, and the soldiers began to attack. In the chaos, ten of the skilled soldiers were killed, leaving only Ali, Farid, Rashid, and a handful of others to face the enemy.

Ali, Farid, and Rashid fought bravely, defending themselves against the onslaught of enemy soldiers. They were outnumbered, but they were skilled fighters and were able to hold their own.

Meanwhile, General Boran and his cavalry army waited outside the castle walls, ready to charge in as soon as the gates were open. They could hear the sounds of battle coming from within the castle, and they knew that their comrades were fighting for their lives.

As the battle raged on, Ali found himself face to face with the general of the castle. The general was a fierce warrior, and the two engaged in a one-on-one combat that lasted for several minutes. Ali was a skilled fighter, and he was able to hold his own against the general.

Finally, after a hard-fought battle, Ali was able to deliver the final blow that killed the general. With the general's death, the enemy soldiers began to lose morale, and the tide of the battle turned in favor of Khan's army.

General Boran and his cavalry army charged in through the open gates, and they quickly overpowered the remaining enemy soldiers. Khan's flag was raised triumphantly over Frost Gate Castle.

Ali, Farid, and Rashid had risked their lives to complete the mission, and their actions had saved countless lives and secured a crucial victory for Khan's army.
