- Laith Taher 109
The Teacher led the knights of Rawna City and its
surroundings to the desert where they would face the
sultan’s great army.
The small army of Rawna City and its surroundings
consisted of about two thousand knights. They were
amazed when they saw the view of the huge army of the
sultan, which consisted of about twenty-five thousand
soldiers.
As the sultan was used to, he preceded his army and
was sitting on his red throne, which was attached to a base
being raised up by four slaves.
The Sultan started to laugh arrogantly then he
shouted talking to his army, “Look at this little army of
mice. We will step on them with our feet.”
His soldiers and he started to laugh at Rawna’s
army.
Confidence filled the heart of the sultan and his
soldiers, whereas terror filled the hearts of most of the
knights of Rawna’s army.
The Teacher was wearing a new uniform which he
had never worn before. He was wearing a white dress with
black garnishes below the neckline, a thin black fabric belt,
a black cape tied around his neck and falling down his back
and legs, and long black boots made of genuine leather.
He stepped forward and shouted talking to the
sultan, “Sultan, I have a challenge for you.”
The sultan and his soldiers started to laugh and
ridicule the Teacher’s words.
