This victory marked a significant milestone in their broader vision, one that extended toward Jerusalem. For Selahaddin, Gaza was not just a city; it was a symbol of reclaiming dignity, sovereignty, and faith from foreign hands. The triumphant conquest reverberated across the Islamic world, reigniting hope among the oppressed.
Bernard Faces Ruin as the Papacy Turns Against Him
For Bernard, the fall of Gaza was not only a personal defeat but a political disaster. Held responsible for the loss by the Papacy, he was sentenced to death, an unprecedented humiliation for a Crusader leader of his rank. Yet Bernard, known for his cunning and survival instincts, managed to evade execution. Slipping into the shadows, he began weaving a new web of treachery. His defeat had not broken him; it had only made him more dangerous. With nothing left to lose, Bernard’s next move would be even more ruthless, driven not by ambition but by pure vengeance.
Viktorya’s Attempt at Peace Shattered by Bernard
As Gaza fell into Muslim hands, Queen Victoria sensed a shift in the power dynamics. She feared that the next logical target for Selahaddin and Nureddin would be Jerusalem itself. Determined to protect her realm and avoid further losses, she discreetly initiated efforts to negotiate peace with the Zengi leaders.
However, just as the possibility of a truce emerged, Bernard returned with force. Refusing to allow diplomacy to undermine his crusade, he sabotaged Viktorya’s efforts, tearing apart the fragile threads of a potential peace treaty. Viktorya’s plans were crushed before they could bloom, and Bernard had once again redirected the course toward bloodshed.
Arslanşah Enters the Scene with Imperial Arrogance
Meanwhile, another storm brewed on the eastern horizon. Melik Arslanşah, who had been humiliated by Selahaddin in a prior encounter, now re-entered the Zengi lands with vengeance in his heart. As the Caliph’s protector, he wielded religious and political authority, and he intended to use it to humble Sultan Nureddin and assert dominance over the regional beyliks.
His arrival was not simply a visit of protocol, but a declaration of supremacy. The tension between him and Nureddin erupted almost instantly, threatening the fragile unity that had secured recent victories. His ambition was not hidden; Arslanşah sought to bend all under his command.
Sultan Nureddin Stands His Ground
Despite the pressure from Arslanşah, Sultan Nureddin refused to surrender authority or compromise the sovereignty of the Zengi rule. He saw through Arslanşah’s veiled threats and imperial posturing. Rather than bow before the Abbasid-backed noble, Nureddin chose resistance. This defiance created an immediate rupture in the political structure of the Muslim world. The disagreement wasn’t just about personal ego, it risked undermining the coalition needed for the eventual liberation of Jerusalem. Nureddin’s stance was bold, but it came at the cost of brewing internal divisions at a time when unity was most crucial.
Bernard Rebuilds His Power Through New Alliances
In the aftermath of his defeat in Gaza, Bernard began rebuilding his strength from the coastal stronghold of Tripoli. Here, he marshaled support from disillusioned Crusaders and forged a new alliance with the Fatimids, reigniting his crusade with renewed intensity. His ability to manipulate both political and religious factions allowed him to mount a comeback that many had thought impossible.
As his forces regrouped and swelled, it became clear that Bernard was preparing not just a retaliation, but a full-scale offensive aimed at destroying the foundations of Zengi’s power in the region.
The Shadow of a Crusader Army Looms Once More
While Selahaddin and Nureddin focused on stabilizing Gaza and managing internal dissent, Bernard’s newly formed Crusader army began its march. Bolstered by Fatimid support, the army represented a united front of old enemies who had set aside their differences to strike back at a common foe. This unexpected cooperation between distant forces highlighted Bernard’s cunning. His comeback was not based on strength alone but on his mastery of division. Now, from the shores of Tripoli, a tide of vengeance approached, one that could wash away the fragile victories of the recent past.
Arslanşah Undermines Zengi Authority from Within
As Bernard plotted from the outside, Melik Arslanşah worked from within. His presence in Zengi territories was more than symbolic, he actively sought to diminish the influence of Nureddin by gaining the loyalty of local beys. Through a mix of promises, pressure, and appeals to the Caliphate’s legitimacy, he aimed to weaken the Zengi stronghold from the inside.
This internal campaign was subtle yet dangerous, as it struck at the roots of unity. While the Crusaders prepared to attack from the west, Arslanşah’s quiet maneuvering posed an equally deadly threat from the heart of their empire.
Selahaddin and Nureddin Encircled by Foes
The situation grew dire as Selahaddin and Sultan Nureddin found themselves surrounded by enemies, both foreign and domestic. Bernard’s renewed crusader army marched from Tripoli, Arslanşah’s interference spread unrest within the ranks, and the dream of Jerusalem flickered in the distance.
Each decision carried the weight of consequences, and any misstep could unravel everything they had built. Yet, even as danger closed in from all sides, both leaders remained steadfast. Their belief in justice, unity, and divine purpose continued to guide their struggle, even when the path grew darker by the hour.
A Crucial Moment Before the March to Jerusalem
Despite the storm gathering around them, Selahaddin and Nureddin understood that time was of the essence. Their goal, the liberation of Jerusalem, required not only strength but stability. Before any steps could be taken toward that sacred city, they had to navigate the web of deception, betrayal, and conflict now tightening around them. Every alliance had to be examined, every enemy accounted for, and every move measured. The fate of Jerusalem would not be decided on a battlefield alone, but in the strategy rooms, behind palace walls, and through the strength of leadership.
The Rising Tension Before the Sacred March Begins
As Episode 25 drew to a close, the tension reached its peak. Victory in Gaza had brought temporary relief, but also unleashed a wave of reaction from enemies near and far. Bernard’s thirst for revenge, Arslanşah’s disruptive ambitions, and Viktorya’s broken diplomacy had created a volatile atmosphere.
Yet, through all this, Selahaddin and Nureddin stood united, bruised, but not broken. Their vision of a free Jerusalem remained clear. The next steps would demand not only valor and wisdom but also sacrifices. The march to Jerusalem was no longer a dream; it was becoming a necessity, and it was only a matter of time before it began.
