To whom the King answered that many had died who were not to blame; that if the Ydallcao had done him wrong, he had already suffered enough; and moreover, that it did not seem to him good, since Rachol remained behind them to be taken, that they should go forward, but rather they should make themselves ready for its capture; for that the siege had to be conducted henceforth in a new and better manner. For the King was persuaded throughout that, since the Ydallcao had lost so many men and so much honour, and had lost indeed all his power, he would not wish to live any longer, and that he must be dead on the field. Which, however, was not so, seeing that the Ydallcao had not even entered into the fight, but had all the time remained under guard of Sefallarym\[556\] -- he who now calls himself Acadacao and is lord of Belgaum -- who, fearing the event, contrived by cunning that the Ydallcao should select him for his guard with all his troops, among whom he had four hundred cavalry; and when he saw how the soldiers fled, and how completely they had been defeated, he said to the Ydallcao, "Sire, if thou seekest to live follow me!" and the Ydallcao took refuge on an elephant and followed him, leaving his camp and all that he possessed. - [Previous: 10.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.paes-nuniz~en-sewell.10.8) - [Next: 10.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.paes-nuniz~en-sewell.10.10) - [Up: 10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.paes-nuniz~en-sewell.10) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.paes-nuniz~en-sewell.10.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.paes-nuniz~en-sewell.10.9) · Pramāṇa
