However, life was not easy for Byzantium. The country was under suspicion, princes rebelled, dynasties changed, and civil war resumed. The neighboring Roman Sultanate took the opportunity to expand and took away all of Asia Minor.

Immediately afterwards, civil strife began in the Sultanate of Roma, and the Byzantine Empire took the opportunity to counterattack, and finally recovered Asia Minor more than ten years ago.

Now, the real overlord in the Middle East is Egypt, the Ayyubid dynasty founded by Saladin's father.

The Zanji dynasty was also very powerful for a time, eating up the legacy of the Seljuk Empire and even deposing the caliphate in Baghdad. But when they expanded eastward, they fought a bloody battle with the Dawan Kingdom in the Khorasan region.

In the Battle of Khorasan, Ju Ming's grandson (King of Dayuan) personally went into battle, and Sultan Zanji was killed on the spot. From then on, the Zanji dynasty fell into pieces.

In order to stop the endless killing of the Crusaders, the Ayyubid Dynasty, which believes in desert religion, and the Byzantine Empire, which believes in Orthodox Christianity, have been in an alliance for decades.

The Ayyubid dynasty of Egypt tried to unify the Middle East and West Asia, swallowing up all the forces that had split off from the Zanji dynasty, and would not stop expanding until it bordered the Kingdom of Dawan.

The Byzantine Empire planned to destroy the Sultanate of Roma first, and then march westward to regain its territory in Bulgaria.

Frederick II knew that his time was short, and the Pope had deeply penetrated the HRE, so he now wanted to repair the relationship and marry Byzantium.

In addition, Khwarezm has been destroyed for many years.

The reason for the destruction of the country was that he dared to play tricks on Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty!

Today, on the original territory of Khwarezm is the Kipchak Khanate established by descendants of the Turks.

The Kipchak Khanate has always been a vassal of the Ming Dynasty. It relied on the Northern Silk Road to accumulate wealth and gradually expanded further west.

To their west is the Cuman Khanate, and the two khanates have been fighting for decades.
