58. Bölüm

Following his triumph in the İsfendiyaroğlu campaign, Sultan Mehmed turns his focus to the Pontus Empire, aiming to secure Ottoman control over the Black Sea by targeting Trabzon. He launches a two-pronged offensive—Bali Bey leads a land assault toward the formidable Serpentine Castle, while Bahadır Pasha commands a naval bombardment from the sea. Yet, as the campaign unfolds, internal tensions rise within the palace; trust erodes, and hidden agendas emerge. Vlad, though appearing loyal, harbors secret motives, drawing Zeynel into a dangerous web of intrigue, while Kurtçu Doğan faces a personal reckoning involving both his brother and his friend.
