From Hostage to Hegemon - Episódio 4

Survivors debate returning to the palace after learning Ystravia lost half the country and its 300,000 elite troops. Soldiers fear being slaughtered by Northland and say the court, ruled by the evil queen, won't accept the coward king. With no safe refuge, the king refuses retreat and activates a new mission: "Clear Northland's military base." He rallies the troops to go forward and kill, vowing to trample the fortress and return to kill the evil queen. The episode ends as the army marches out on a bloody strike, its success unresolved.
