Three days later, the Algiers Guard officer Yunus led two thousand of his most elite soldiers, quietly crossing into Tunisian territory.
Muqla only had less than 800 remnants left. As long as Yunus could follow the intelligence and reach his hiding place in time, they could be wiped out completely in two to three days, after which he would quickly withdraw back to Algiers.
The Tunisians hadn't suffered any real losses, so they probably wouldn't make a big deal out of this.
However, Yunus never expected that he would already be targeted the moment he left the Toso Mountain area.
At that very moment, Colonel Zemir, commander of the French Tunisian Legion, was leading four thousand soldiers, waiting near the western border at the village of Dicela.
And this was exactly where Algiers intelligence showed Muqla was hiding.
Because that very intelligence had been deliberately leaked to Kurulu by Zemir, under orders from the General Staff.
