Mullik Ahmud and Kootb-ool-Moolk, both tering into this view of the case, suddenly withdrew homewards, without taking leave of the King; and the next morning Imad-ool-Moolk sent petitions to court in favour of Yoosoof Adil Khan, begging the King to pardon him, and to return to the capital. The King, at the instigation of Ameer Bereed, refused to comply; and Yoosoof Adil Khan hearing of the retreat of the two most powerful chiefs was encouraged to rejoin Imad-ool-Moolk, who in conjunction with him moved to attack the royal army. Ameer Bereed deeming himself unequal to defend his camp left it standing, and fled with the King to Ahmudabad Bidur. Adil Khan and Imad-ool-Moolk having divided the booty abandoned by the royalists, returned to their several capitals. - [Previous: 79.4.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.79.4.9) - [Next: 79.5.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.79.5.2) - [Up: 79.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.79.5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.79.5.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.79.5.1) · Pramāṇa
