It would only be a short time before they launched the attack on the defenders.
The old Persian diplomat emerges finally from his cambers and speaks with disgust

The Seljuk's who refuse to come to the council in peace, come instead with an army?
it shows the character of foolish cowards.....

The old Persian then sits down, gazes around the excited and frigthen council and reveals and gestures at a parchment...

I have spoken with my government, my couriers are quite cunning at escaping the siege, but he returns with sour news,
I hear that our might Shah, who is most displeased and disgusted with the actions of these cowardly Seljuk fools have refused my request to send an immediate army directly to Seljuks claiming that they are unable, and indisposed elsewhere to presently invade the Seljuks.

he bows his head slightly in shame, and slowly crushes the parchment in his hand

I am sure... the mighty shah has his...reasons....
he glares angrily
....
Suddenly he stands up with a jolt, and his eyes are lighten up with fiery passion, he clutches his sheathed sword and grins maliciously.
Today my friends, is a good day to die!!! Release the hounds of war, I shall at least take some of those Seljuks before they do me in.

He unsheathes his sword and proceeds to the defense on the city walls, with an excitement and fervor of a young kid,
