Reply from the Divan of Driss Dey

To the faithful and illustrious Grand Vizier, fragrant tulip of the ever-victorious Mustafa, right arm of the caliph of Allah and Commander of the Faithful and pillar of Dar al Islam, from the divan of Emir Driss Khal-al-Waw Dey, scourge of the Infidel and Lord of the Southern Isles, greetings.

We place entirely at the disposal of the ever-victorious Sultan all our loyalties and determination, as well as our prayers for his swift triumphs as Allah wills.

The five hundred ships of the worthies of the Dey range across the Western Sea to discomfit and humiliate the infidels, placing the burdens of jizya upon them until their stiff necks finally bow in submission to the will of Allah.
