Saladin and Nureddin, rallying the Turkmen Beys under the Zengid Banner, successfully conquer Gaza. Bernard, sentenced to death by the Papacy for losing Gaza, escapes and devises new plans. Queen Victoria attempts to secure peace with the Zengids, fearing for Jerusalem, but Bernard thwarts her efforts. Enraged, Melik Arslanshah arrives in Zengid Lands, aiming to dominate Nureddin and his beys, but Nureddin opposes him, leading to heightened tensions and danger.

Bernard, driven by revenge, launches a large crusader army from Tripoli, maintaining an alliance with the Fatimids, and attacks the Zengids. The unfolding questions are whether Bernard will succeed in his vengeful plans, how Saladin will counter his strategies, what actions Arslanshah will take to undermine the Zengids, and if Saladin and Nureddin can withstand these pressures and continue their sacred march towards Jerusalem.

Saladin kills Mülhem to avenge Süreyya but runs into trouble when Temur's rescue attempt backfires, leading Bernard to recapture the beys and Karategin. This brings Arslanshah, Nureddin, and Saladin into conflict. Arslanshah, angry and blaming Nureddin, gathers soldiers against the Zengid State. Bernard demands Gaza for the beys' release, but Nureddin refuses. Determined, Arslanshah starts a siege on Gaza. Meanwhile, Karategin tries to escape Bernard's clutches.

The stakes are high: Can Saladin free the captive lords? Will the Islamic Union survive Arslanshah's actions? And can Nureddin keep hold of Gaza, a symbol of their hard-fought victories?

Saladin saves Karategin and the beys, but Karategin is betrayed, shot, and falls off a cliff. Saladin pursues the assailants while Bernard aims to find them first. The escaped beys encounter Arslanshah, who manipulates them against the Zengids, blaming Saladin and Nureddin for Karategin's supposed death. Arslanshah seeks to lead the beys in a war against the Zengids.

Saladin and Nureddin strive to expose Arslanshah’s true motives by finding Karategin, who may still be alive. The tension builds around whether Arslanshah can rally a war against the Zengids, what Bernard's next move will be, if Nureddin can reunite the Islamic Union, and if Saladin can uncover the truth about the attack on Karategin and dismantle Arslanshah’s scheme.

Sultan Nureddin faces a potential war due to Arslanshah's manipulations. Saladin and his Ghazis find Karategin amidst Maral's traps, but thanks to Ömer Mella, they rescue him. Nureddin aims to prevent bloodshed, but Arslanshah opposes him, cornered when Karategin returns unharmed. Bernard’s scheme sees Temur falsely denying shooting Karategin, leaving the beys indecisive and not uniting with either side. This disunity weakens the Zengis and allows Bernard to make a move on Gaza. Saladin must convince the beys to stay unified and take action against Jerusalem. Key questions arise: Can Saladin thwart Bernard? Will the Muslims reunite? Can Arslanshah’s true nature be exposed, and what challenges will Saladin and Nureddin face in their quest for Jerusalem?
