As Hisar falls under his jurisdiction, Zağanos takes responsibility to stop the rebellion with his troops, knowing Balt-Rhein will use the rebellion as an opportunity to invade. Using Araba clothes to blend in, Mahmut and Shara goes to Hisar to investigate and discover that Ibrahim is being force to obey the empire's agents, Röd Orm, and the Araba Tribe because they are holding Hisar citizens hostage in an oil-soaked tent. Wanting to help his friend, Mahmut tells the Araba Tribe that they are being used by the empire and lures a Röd Orm member into a fight in an empty alley, but is beaten and disarmed. Meanwhile, Zağano receives news that 40,000 Arabas are marching towards Hisar, outnumbering his troops and halting his siege plans. Nearby, Goldbalt IX's niece, Duchess Lelederik, and her aide, Glalat, prepare to attack Hisar on Louis's orders.
