Why Is Army Life So Boring

  "Altın kılıç her kapıyı açar"

"Money opens all gates except the one for heaven."

-        Turkish Proverbs

When it is about time for the army with a strange composition of various civilian militias led by their Sultan reached a distance roughly ten Roman miles away from the front line, Hamza Pasha is already there himself waiting for his Sultan being filled with anticipations rubbing his hands in the cold. Never had he been so overjoyed since the demise of Sultan Mehmed II under the Theodosian walls.
