Episode 5 of Sultan Muhammad Fathi intensifies the preparations for the siege of Constantinople. The Ottoman army, under the brilliant leadership of Sultan Muhammad, takes bold steps to tighten their grip around the great city.
The episode opens with the construction of Rumeli Hisarı progressing at an astonishing speed. Sultan Muhammad personally oversees the work, motivating his soldiers and engineers, reminding them that every brick laid brings them closer to victory. His powerful words inspire his men, reinforcing their belief in the Sultan’s vision.
Meanwhile, tension rises within the walls of Constantinople. Emperor Constantine holds an urgent council meeting, where fear and uncertainty dominate the room. The city’s defenses are strong, but the news of the Ottomans’ growing power shakes the confidence of his allies. Desperate letters are sent to Western rulers, begging for reinforcements, but their responses remain uncertain.
A gripping moment unfolds when Sultan Muhammad reveals a secret plan to his most trusted commanders — a strategic naval blockade along the Bosphorus. The goal is clear: cut off all supplies to the city and weaken it from within. His calculated moves highlight his tactical brilliance, leaving no room for error.
The emotional core of this episode lies in a quiet conversation between Sultan Muhammad and his childhood friend, Hasan. They reflect on the prophecy that Constantinople will be conquered by a great leader, and Hasan reassures the Sultan that he is destined to fulfill this mission. The weight of this responsibility is heavy, but Muhammad’s resolve grows even stronger.
As night falls, the episode ends with a dramatic scene: the final stone of Rumeli Hisarı is placed, and the fortress stands tall — a symbol of Ottoman strength and determination. From a distance, Emperor Constantine watches the fortress through a spyglass, his face pale with dread.
The battle for Constantinople is no longer a distant threat — it is knocking on the ci
ty’s gates.
