Chapter 26: Ibrahim tyranny

The sun had already set as Ali and his trusted Alps (soldiers) rode towards Ibrahim's palace. They had received information about his growing tyranny and oppression, and they knew they had to act fast.

As they approached the palace gates, they were stopped by Ibrahim's guards. "Who goes there?" one of the guards demanded.

"We are messengers from the khan's tribe," Ali said firmly. "We have come to speak with Ibrahim."

The guard eyed them suspiciously, but eventually allowed them to pass.

As they entered the palace, they were led into a grand hall, where Ibrahim sat surrounded by his advisors and enforcers.

"What brings you here, Ali?" Ibrahim asked, his voice laced with arrogance.

"I have come to speak with you about the reports of your tyranny and oppression," Ali replied.

Ibrahim scoffed. "And who are you to question my rule?"

"I am a messenger of the khan's tribe, and I speak on their behalf," Ali said, his tone firm.

Ibrahim's advisors shifted uneasily in their seats, knowing that the khan's tribe was a powerful force to be reckoned with.

"I rule this kingdom with an iron fist," Ibrahim declared. "Those who oppose me will be crushed."

"We are not here to oppose you, but to warn you," Ali said. "If you continue down this path of tyranny and oppression, you will face the wrath of the khan's tribe."

Ibrahim's eyes narrowed. "Do you think that your tribe is invincible? I have heard stories of your strength and power, but I do not fear you."

"You should," Ali said calmly. "The khan's tribe is not to be underestimated. We will not stand by and watch as you continue to oppress your people."

Ibrahim stood up from his throne, his face contorted with anger. "I will not be threatened by you or your tribe! Guards, remove these messengers from my palace!"

Ali and his Alps stood their ground, their eyes fixed on Ibrahim. "You may have dismissed our warning today, but know this, Ibrahim," Ali said. "If you continue to oppress your people, we will not hesitate to take action."

With that, Ali and his Alps turned and walked out of the palace, leaving Ibrahim to ponder their warning.

As they rode back to their tribe's camp, Ali and his Alps discussed their encounter with Ibrahim. They knew that he was not to be underestimated and that their warning might not be enough to make him change his ways. But they were ready to take action if necessary, to protect the people from his oppression.

The night was quiet, and the stars were shining brightly as Ali and his Alps made their way back to the khan's tribe's camp. They rode in silence, each lost in their thoughts about the encounter with Ibrahim.

When they arrived at the camp, they were greeted by the khan, who had been waiting for their return. "What news do you bring, Ali?" the khan asked.

"We have delivered our warning to Ibrahim," Ali replied. "But he dismissed our concerns and refused to listen."

The khan nodded thoughtfully. "Ibrahim is a dangerous man. We must remain vigilant and be prepared to act if necessary."

"I agree," Ali said. "But I fear that our warning may not be enough to stop him."

"We will continue to monitor the situation and be ready to act if necessary," the khan said. "For now, rest and prepare yourselves for whatever may come."

With that, Ali and his Alps made their way to their tents, ready to get some rest before the next day's tasks. But even as they settled in, they knew that their warning to Ibrahim might not be enough to stop him, and they were prepared for whatever action they might need to take to protect their people from his tyranny and oppression.
