章節 609: Less than Peaceful Negotiations Part II

Salan scratched his bearded chin intently as he tried to think of a resolution to the current disputes between his people and the Christian world. He had to admit he completely underestimated Berengar and his aggressive nature during negotiations. The German Emperor held a position of complete control. After all, it was exactly as the man had said. He and his allies combined could take on the entire Muslim world without much difficulty.

It was this confidence that had led the negotiations to be so troublesome until this point. Berengar was unwilling to concede on the Jizya, and Salan was in a precarious position. Personally, he did not care about Muslims being taxed in Byzantium. If he were alone, he would surely not even have mentioned such a thing.
