Evening was approaching.
In the streets and alleys of Damascus, the echoes of people singing hymns in chorus, and the celebration parade, attracted many local Christians who gathered together. Bold and enterprising Saracen merchants also took the opportunity to start their business.
The actual significance of capturing Damascus naturally did not compare to Losa's conquest of Egypt, but with Saladin's defeat and death, and Losa's coronation as Emperor, these two heavy pieces of news signified the complete disintegration of the Ayyubid Dynasty, a major foe of the Crusaders.
In the future, their victory would only become easier.
And with their pockets no longer tight, the Crusaders, who had endured arduous marches in the desert, naturally had reason to indulge a bit in the revelry of Damascus City.
They sang loudly, drank, and sought pleasure, as if celebrating a grand festival.
In a relatively secluded tavern.
