From Hostage to Hegemon - Episode 6

His Majesty is alone, having overplayed his hand and now fighting a vastly larger force while those nearby are urged to pick up weapons. A saved soldier insists the king rescued him from the Queen Dowager, but others warn even a master soldier can't face a thousand men. After a brutal silence, villagers question if the king is dead as the Northlander army arrives in force. Some prepare to die with weapon in hand; others mourn and hesitate. With the king's fate unclear and invaders at the gates, the defenders face an immediate decision to resist or surrender.
