This speech was bitterly resented by Tirant's men. A battle between the forces of the two leaders was imminent, but was averted by the calmness and prudence of our hero. (Chap. 134) Immediately after the victory over the Turks, Diaphe- bus had sent a messenger to the emperor to announce the glad tidings. The good news was then proclaimed throughout the city, all the bells were rung, and the inhabitants went to the Church of Saint Sophia to render thanks imto the Lord for the great victory. (Cha...p. 134) In the meantime, Armini, the Grand Sultan of Baby- lon, sent three ambassadors to Tirant to ask for a truce of six months, and also for the Uberation of a youth who was a brother of the sultan's wife. The generosity and magnanimity of our hero led him to set free the youth- ful prisoner of war, and with him forty others. But the truce was not granted, for it was the opinion of Tirant and his Council that permanent peace could be secured only by vanquishing the infidel host. (Chaps. 135-138) On the same day that the ambassadors left the camp of Tirant, he sent Diaphebus to Constantinople to deliver to the emperor the large number of prisoners captured in the first battle with the enemy.
