With Balaban's absence, Uzun leads his army to finish off Kiliç's forces, but Mahmut and his group arrive back with Balaban's severed head to show everyone that he has been defeated, prompting Uzun to withdraw. Ismail and Beyazit's gun unit follows Uzun, using the guns to cause panic and confusion among the soldiers and giving Ismail the chance to kill his father alone. After apprehending Fatma and her young son, Kemal, Mahmut and co. discuss whether to execute Fatma as protocol dictates for treason. Ayşe explains that her mother only complied with Balaban because he protects Fatma and her family from political dissenters, but votes in favor of her mother's execution. While initially agreeing to execute Fatma, Mahmut ultimately chooses to spare Fatma and fake her death. With new sultans on the thrones and the invasion of the three stratocracies' capitals halted, the Greater Türkiye federation is established. Although his plans failed, Louis knows Greater Türkiye is weakened and plots to invade Türkiye soon. During the Divan meeting, Mahmut is offered to be reinstated as Pasha, who knows his loyalties are being tested in the wake the civil war. Although Mahmut disagrees with some of Divan's methods, he accepts being reinstated to continue protecting his homeland. Due to lacking military power at the moment, Mahmut purposes to launch a preemptive strike at the empire with economic power. With Halil's support, Mahmut is appointed to the minister of foreign affairs by the Divan. Later, Mahmut tries to return his Pyramis charm to Zağanos, who insists he keep it to help in future endeavors, and begins his next mission alongside Kyros and Abiriga.
Suivant le plan de Mahmut et prenant avantage du terrain, les forces de Kuluch parviennent à séparer Balaban des armées communes des trois sultanats. A bout de patience, Uzun décide d’attaquer l’armée de Kuluch sans attendre Balaban. Sérieusement débordées, les forces de Kuluch battent en retraite quand une cavalerie vêtue d’or dirigée par Aishe donne l’assaut depuis la ville.
地形を活かしたマフムートの策によって、三将国軍とその総指揮をとるバラバンを分断し、クルチュ軍は三将国軍の動きを一時的に止めることに成功した。しかし、バラバンの不在にしびれを切らしたウズンは独断でクルチュ軍へ攻撃を開始する。戦力差によって徐々に押し込まれ、クルチュ軍の陣形が崩れかけたその時、金色の装備をしたアイシェ率いる騎兵が現れ…。
Seguendo il piano di Mahmut e usando il terreno a loro vantaggio, le forze del Kuluch separavano con successo Balaban dalle armate unite dei tre sultani. Tuttavia, persa la pazienza, Uzun decise di attaccare l'armata del Kuluch senza Balaban. Nettamente inferiore per unità, le forze del Kuluch vennero respinte quando una cavalleria adornata d'oro guidata da Aishe attacca fuori dalla città.
