became living symbols of heroism while the Russians became more authoritarian and tried to suppress their spirit.

News of their bravery did not reach the other side of the border or even if it does, Abbas Mirza could not do anything to uphold their just cause. Nabi and his men decided to go to the mountains of Ghafghaz to be safe and one with nature. The way being narrow could only allow one person to pass. Any Soldat passing by would be seen and attacked, with this they were expecting to end the war.

They have been wandering in the mountains for many months but it seems that the war is not near its end. They know that with the shortage of ammunition and provision they will be forced to surrender and end the war, but due to the bravery of the Iranians they clung to victory. At this stage, Nabi decided to designate a Soldat to take his post while he went to the Russian Emperor and report everything that happened and at the same time visit his family.

The story of Nabi's life and battles touched the Emperor in such a way that he decided to grant him an amnesty and instructed the Soldat to give Nabi his message of protection. The king fully believed that brave men and women, like Nabi and Hajar, must be protected and getting them to agree to be on their side is an advantage for the Russian army. The Emperor even offered them the governorship of a part of his lands.

When Nabi heard of the news and fearing for the possible outcome of the Emperor's offer, he immediately made Hajar his rightful successor, under the circumstance of his death she will lead their soldiers.

Nabi held a meeting with the Soldat who said that if they put their guns down, the Emperor is willing to bestow pardon and recognise his people for bravery. The King even offered a convenient life by having a good position in the government.
