Subject: Operation "Cimitarra del desierto"
Señor Seth,
Today you are receiving orders directly from me. Other orders from anyone but me can be disregarded for the time being. Your mettle and skills have been noted at the Black Court, and this is exactly why you are entrusted with a special mission befitting your talents.
To my surprise, our northern neighbour, the Emirate of Akhisar, has had a succession crisis. As it often happens, two claimants could not come to an agreement regarding the succession and the younger one decided to act and seized the throne resorting to intrigue and the way of cloak and daggers. This is not the way of the Corsairs. The elder claimant, Emir Ali Yusuf turned to me to assist in resolving this dynastic crisis and in return agreed to voluntarily become my vassal. As you can see, the stakes are high, and the best should be entrusted with the job, and the job is to be done well.
Despite my love for spectacular clashes of big armies on the battlefield with gore and blood, this case is different. As Emir agreed to become the vassal of the Kingdom and in this way supporting our ambitions to unite Crete under my banner, we need to avoid bloodshed in this war as every adversary who surrenders eventually will bolster our ranks. Enemy army can surrender all together if the usurper, Emir Abdul, is forcefully replaced with Emir Ali. Therefore, you are put in charge of 500 elite warriors and sent to eastern Wadi-Gihon. There you will join forces with Emir Ali and his loyal soldiers. Your task is to discretely get to the seat of power of Abdul and take him hostage. I repeat, take hostage. This is the request of Emir Ali. Everyone else on their side is expendable. Some can be disabled without killing to save the life force for later, yet discreetness is number one priority. Because Emir Ali expressed the desire to participate in the raid personally, he is to be kept alive at all cost - without him this operation is of no use.
You are free to choose your own guerreros for this operation. Loyalty, prowess, and lack of dumb moves are advised. Once ready, take the provisions from the capital and deliver them to the meeting point in Wadi-Gihon to support our allies. Use land vehicles to conceal your movement, in the southern mountains and up to the desert nobody will notice your moves.
You have your orders, centurion. Do not let your King down. Do well, and you will be rewarded accordingly. An own noble house, perhaps... Let this be the motivation for your operation "Cimitarra del desierto" to be a success. Prepare your men and get ready to move - I hope the confirmation of the plan from the Emir to arrive shortly. If you need anything or anyone in particular from the Court for the mission - you are free to ask and you shall have it. I will be watching your progress from the orbit.
