After having a nightmare of the Tuğril tribe massacre, Mahmut returns to his hometown, which been rebuilt since its destruction. After paying his respect to the dead, Mahmut uses Zağanos's Pyramis charm at the village's water shrine and comes into contact with the spy, Barbaros. He explains to Mahmut how the spy network works and that Türkiye spies has been getting killed by Röd Orm on Louis's orders. Barbaros directs him to meet the spy network's chief, Süleyman, who is a survivor of the Tuğril tribe. Süleyman tells Mahmut his background, how he met Zağanos, and how he became the chief of the spy network. Some Röd Orm agents, led by Eleanor, track down Barbaros and attempt to kill him, but Süleyman and Mahmut arrive to help him. Due to Mahmut's recklessness, the trio retreat and Süleyman berates him for acting alone without considering his comrades. In another confrontation, the group is able to beat the Röd Orm agents, but Eleanor manages to escape. After cleaning up the mess Röd Orm made, Süleyman informs Mahmut that Balt-Rhein has all of Türkiye spies in their territory killed and plans to meet with Zağanos to devise countermeasures. Süleyman encourages Mahmut to earn his Pasha rank back and see more of the world. Later, Mahmut travels to Rumeliana's oldest port city, Phoiníkē.
Suite à l’incident survenu à Hisar, Mahmut perd son titre de pacha. Conscient de ses erreurs, il promet de se montrer plus digne de son rang. Il se rend dans son village natal où il rencontre Süleyman, le chef du réseau d’espions créé par Zaganos, qui est lui aussi originaire de ce village. Peu de temps après, ils sont attaqués par la secte Rod Orm qui est déterminée à détruire le réseau.
