Ivan felt a bit hopeless; they hadn't encountered any issues when assaulting the grand city of Isfahan, but could they really falter here at the unremarkable town of Hawizan?
Observing the battle from below, Subutai frowned and said, "Jochi Khan! Ivan Thousand Households' First Army is in trouble."
Jochi responded without hesitation, "Summon the Kwaku Shaman."
Others might think Ivan's death would provide a chance to absorb his followers, but not Jochi. He highly valued this brave barbarian warrior, and his origin was of little concern.
