Elimination

The battle between the Mohaians and the Itesbians has caused a great epidemic across the warring kingdoms. The once-thriving interrelationship and trade between these realms have been completely neglected due to the ongoing war.

On the battlefield, the Mohaians stand ready to confront the Itesbians. Their warriors are on high alert, prepared for battle. Among them, Nate, a fierce and determined fighter, leads the charge. Meanwhile, the Itesbians send their commander to the battle line, and Nate steps forward to meet him. The two warriors stand face to face, tension crackling in the air.

"Are you afraid to fight us? Because today, all of you will die, and we will take over your land," the Itesbian commander taunts Nate, his voice laced with arrogance.

Nate responds coldly, "I'm certain that you will fall by my hand. I will wipe out your entire household, enslave your people, and your women will become mere harlots in our kingdom."

This statement enrages the Itesbian commander. Summoning his magical powers, he conjures his sword and lunges at Nate. However, Nate does not draw his weapon, which the commander sees as a grave insult. Furious, he channels his sorcery, soaring into the sky before descending with his sword, infused with dark power. In response, Nate commands his own sword to strike.

Fueled by anger, Nate finally draws his blade. He closes the distance between them swiftly and delivers a devastating blow. The commander staggers back, coughing up blood, his body marked by deep wounds. Without hesitation, Nate finishes him off, claiming victory.

Frad, a high-ranking Mohai warrior, commands the war trumpet to be sounded. Before the full-scale battle begins, the Mohaians gather to seek favor from their god, Kad, the deity of wind. They offer a great ram as a sacrifice, and the priest requests that Nate make an offering of his own. When Nate refuses, Jos steps forward, but the priest commands him to step back, allowing Nate to face Kad alone.

"This battle concerns you, great Kad," Nate declares solemnly. "We must emerge victorious, and our enemies must bow before us."

He slices his palm, letting his blood drip onto the god's altar. The warriors chant his name: "Breaker of Seven Doors!" With renewed vigor, the Mohaians march toward the battlefield. Frad leads his men, while Nate and his closest warriors form a strong battle formation. The Itesbian warriors advance, wielding their own magical abilities and brute strength.

As the battle rages on, the Itesbians gain the upper hand, slaughtering Mohaians with relentless force. A trumpet call signals for cavalry reinforcements, and Nate swiftly mounts his horse, his men following suit. They charge into the fray, turning the tide. However, fear still lingers among the Mohaians, their formation beginning to falter. Seeing them retreat, Nate rides back and addresses his warriors.

"Why do you cower before these Itesbians? Today, history changes! This moment will be your greatest triumph. Stand your ground, defenders of Moha! Turn your misery into victory!"

Inspired by his words, the Mohaians rally. Arrows fly toward Nate, but he pulls them from his chest without flinching and slaughters his enemies mercilessly. His warriors, emboldened by his courage, push forward, breaking through enemy lines and decimating the Itesbian army. Frad, seeing Nate's unstoppable advance, orders his men to move forward.

Nate fights with unmatched fury, cutting down enemy after enemy. Spotting Kac, a renowned Itesbian warrior, Nate soars into the sky using magic and engages him in combat. Though powerful, Kac fears Nate's relentless assault. Beaten and bloodied, Kac falls to his knees, begging for mercy. But even after losing his best warriors, he refuses to surrender. In the end, he is unable to claim victory, and the Itesbians are utterly defeated.

With the war won, the Mohaians rejoice. The Itesbian kingdom is no more. Frad hosts a grand feast in celebration, honoring the warriors for their bravery. He is filled with pride, knowing they have overcome their greatest struggle.

During the festivities, Nate retires to his chamber, where he entertains a harlot to refresh himself. The night passes in revelry, as the warriors indulge in drink, laughter, and passion within the palace walls.

At dawn, Nate awakens to a summons from the king. Arriving at the royal court, he finds the nobles and courtiers gathered. Inwardly, Nate senses that the king harbors ill intentions toward him. He suspects he may be banished from Moha's gates. However, due to the presence of the assembled nobles, the king changes his mind and instead rewards Nate for his valor. He bestows upon him the title of Leader of the Country's Affairs. The hall erupts in cheers at the announcement.

Returning to his chamber, Nate contemplates his uncertain future. If he leaves Moha, what will become of him? As he broods over these thoughts, Jos and Nar enter unannounced. Observing his troubled expression, they question him.

"What's on your mind?" they ask.

"I am deeply concerned about something of great importance," Nate replies in a distant tone. He explains his worries, and the two friends exchange knowing glances. They warn him to remain vigilant, for they believe the king is plotting something dangerous against him.

Nate sighs and mutters a saying: "People believe more in what they see than in what they do."

His fate remains uncertain, but one thing is clear—he must be ready for whatever comes next.
