The Emperor now sat in his palace. He was supposed once more adress the people of about the war. The Ottomans seemed a threat. But, the Emperor desired no confrontation with them. They were not the ones who had wronged him.
The Emperor stroked his chin most thoughtfully. Feeling the brussle of his beard. He hadn't gotten a shave in quit awhile. Maybe he would soon, maybe not. It was not important.
The pieces were in place and the movements were being made. The Emperor was confident and felt trust in his new found Captain. The man who had led the capture of Ar Rank. Astounding how such a young man could lead and command such obediance at such a young age.
The Emperor had recently met with the Captain. But he had only stayed a few days and then requested to be sent back to the front to continue the fight. There was a big promotion awaiting that boy once he came back.
How does that Cptain Badome do it?, he wondered.
The Emperor promptly got up. He walked to the doors and swung them open. He looked out upon the crowd.
The people cheered. Chanting the lines he had so embodied. The Emperor smiled and spoke.
We all know what has happened in these past days. Sennar has been driven back and thus the fires of dark Prince have fallen back as well.
People in the King's own country revolt against him. Our brethren under this hateful rgime have joined us. They praise us as liberators. For are we not. We have upheld God and ended the oppressive rein. Sennar lays at the tip of a dagger. Move just a touch and it will all collapse.
But there is still an ominous threat that lies in waiting. The Ottoman Empire stands. I do not see what their motive nor do I know if they will take military power. But nonetheless they are a threat.
They threaten to brake down upon the very foundations in which we stand. We hold no massive grudge upon them as we do the retched Sennarese. But, If they do fight we will push them back to Egypt. We will push them back to where they stand now. They will not move upon our lands anymore and they will remain where they are.
This mission we have been sent on requires the aid of all citizens. It requires the aid of all people in our lands. It requires every hand to work and move. We cannot let such insolence stand can.
They seek to bring us down. They seek to cure us of a disease. Is Christianity a disease?
NO!!!!!
Then, I say we are the cured, Sennar is the disease and we are the vaccine. We are the ones who will lead Africa. We are the ones to bring Africa into a new light. We are the ones will show Africa the way.
Will you join me, your country, your families, your friends. Will you fight for Abyssania and fight For Africa.
We are the chosen people. We will have victory. Stand and fight men of Africa and of Christ!
