371 The Pasha With a Long Name

"Whither are we fleeing, my most valiant men? Do you not know that flight never leads to safety, but shows the folly of a useless effort?"

-        Flavius Claudius Julianus, Battle of Strasburg

Amongst the chaotic battle field, the eyes of Mahumad Pasha Angelovic and Giovanni met, with one being the prey and one being the predator. Without any thought Giovanni managed to figure out the identity of this man riding on white horse before him – not only because the Sultan's royal flag is behind him, but also he knows , from his long time of interaction with his enemies, that the Ottomans are trained since young that strictly follows to a codex they need to obey, especially when it is times of war, as any loud shouting or negative comment by one person can lower the morale of an entire army, and eventually roll in to a disaster.
