The Tatar Delegation has landed.
The Qieshi Leader Balshi proactively found Fulk, showing an apologetic expression: "Hundred Households Fulk, the men under my command are all rough people, they didn't know it was your men who helped the Qidan win that battle three years ago. I have informed them of this, and from now on, they will show you the respect you deserve."
The treatment Ivan received from the Tatars was actually not bad. He was conferred the position of "Thousand Households Officer" and also was granted the role of "Hereditary Darughachi" over his original territory, only needing to pay a tribute to ensure autonomy.
This tribute was less than what Quchulu initially demanded, but correspondingly, Ivan's group had to send out their elite three thousand cavalrymen, led by Ivan himself, to join the expeditionary army.
