Convert the heretics

When more muslim lands came under Kingdom of Nubia the more clergy felt that they must spread the word of God. Ikerios encouraged them to do their job well.

While Ikerios campainged in the north his manly needs needed treatment.

"Hey! Clear the way in the Bazaar" Omar shouted
"Hey you!" Hassan shouted to an old man. "Let us through!" he continued.
"It's a bright new star!" young boy shouted.
"Oh Come!" girl said. "Be the first on your block to meet his eye!" she continued.

"Make way!" Jaffar shouted. "Here he comes!" he continued.
"Ring bells! Bang the drums!" Omar said to his men.
"Are you gonna love this guy!" Hassan said happily.

"King of Nubia! Prince of Alexandria! Fabulous he! Ikerios bin Nader" Jaffar started speaking

"Genuflect, show some respect" Hassan said to a man. "Down on one knee!" he ordered

"King of Nubia, Prince of Alexandria! Mighty is he! Ikerios Bin Nader" Jaffar yelled.
"Strong as ten regular men, definitely!" Omar explained.
"He faced the galloping hordes, a hundred bad muslims with swords" Hassan said.
"Who sent those goons to their lords?" Jaffar asked.
"Why, King Ikerios!" Omar yelled.

Nubians now marched east wipeing out every muslim that was on their way.

Rest of the orthodox world had noticed how the Nubians were spreading the word of God and some of them wanted to form alliances with them.

King Husam of Fatimids realised that peace with Nubia was the right thing and in January 1081 they surrendered their lands in Egypt.

After succesfully defeating Benin Hal, Ikerios started to claim titles to him self.

"Now I'm the king of the Nubians" Ikerios stated. "Oh, the african VIP" he said.
"I've reached the top and had to stop and that's what botherin' me" Ikerios explained to his Grand Council.
"I wanna have more titles, king titles" He said.

"Oh, oobee doo" Hassan said boringly.
"I wanna have more titles" Ikerios demanded.
"I wanna have king titles" he continued.
"King of Egypt" Hassan said.
"You'll see it's true ann king like me can have more titles too" Ikerios said.

"Gee, Ikerios you're doin' real good" Jaffar said
"Now here's your part of the deal ,lay more titles on me" Ikerios ordered.
"But I don't know any" Jaffar said

"Now don't try to kid me, Jaffar" King laughed. "I made a deal with you" He said.
"What I desire is more king titles to make my dream come true" Ikerios demanded.
"Give me the title" he shouted
