It was the end of an era.

Humankind, indulgent during peacetime, fell into madness

and was eventually struck by a hammer.

Nuclear explosions scorched the entire land.

Everything was destroyed.

Order and human compassion were left in ashes and scattered to the winds.

The few survivors were left to face a dark age.

However, with the world in chaos, a star fell to the surface.

One guided by destiny though the darkness, intent on achieving his rule.

People called him a savior.

Kings Understand Kings!

We're supposed to finish this in three days?

The King of Fist is pretty unreasonable.

What was that?

We never know when the enemy will attack!

You should always train as though this is actual combat!

I used the back of my sword this time,

but those who don't train hard will be cut!

M..Ma'am!

Their swords are bent and their helmets have dents.

They can't fight properly with such shabby weapons and armor!

Tell the smiths to make something stronger!

Yes, sir!

Listen up!

You won't be allowed to fight as sloppily as you did before!

Perfect formations are part of basic strategy!

The fulfillment of the King of Fist's ideal rests on your efforts!

I suppose that around half of these soldiers are serviceable.

It's our duty to make them all serviceable.

I know.

What about the King of Fist's office?

A disappointment.

The foreman has requested an extension.

I wonder if Raoh will allow it?

One week?

Yes, the construction will take that long.

We are all working as hard as we possibly can.

But we aren't accustomed to this kind of work,

and we're short on men and materials.

It's rather difficult for me to supervise everything by myself.

I shouldn't have taken the job of foreman... Just kidding!

King of Fist...

Could you possibly offer words of encouragement to the workers on site?

I believe it will boost everybody's morale.

This way.

The King of Fist!

Hey! Everybody gather around!

The King of Fist has come to offer encouragement!

King of Fist, could you give them a real doozy?

There you have it.

Three days.

The Heavens do not wait.

I didn't expect them to actually complete it in three days.

So, the most effective way of making people work hard is terror.

We will now begin raising an army to conquer the small neighboring kingdoms!

We shall make the little rats yield before us!

Raoh...

You're a fascinating man.

The King of Fist rises.

This news left the petty neighboring kings trembling.

Some bravely resisted,

but they were crushed by the impassive advance of the King of Fist's army.

Most kings swore their allegiance to the flag of the King of Fist without even fighting.

So, this place has also fallen?

Nobody remains to resist Raoh in the vicinity.

Well then, now it begins.

What will you do, Raoh?

West.

West?

We will take the Kingdom of Ra ruled by Gion the Wise King.

While small, the Kingdom of Ra is a strategic location for transportation.

Whoever controls the kingdom controls trade.

West, huh?

The King of Fist's strategist is sharp.

But the Kingdom of Ra has...

The bones tell of ill fortune.

Raoh's first defeat, huh?

The King of Fist's invasionary force was annihilated?!

What do you mean?!

I..l'm terribly sorry!

Give us the details.

Yes...

Our invasionary force advanced into the Kingdom of Ra.

Gion's soldiers were weak and we easily made our way to the castle.

Retreat!

After them!

It won't do to have our path of retreat blocked after taking the castle!

Better to be safe than sorry!

Hold it right there!

Don't think you can escape!

This valley will be your grave!

Damn it!

Where did they go?

Hey!

What's that?!

Over a thousand horses?

Was Gion controlling them?

N..No...

It was a herd of wild horses.

They had the ferocious look of wild beasts!

The invasionary force was instantly wiped out by the fierce horses

who viewed us as invaders in their territory.

Then, the invasionary force was defeated by a herd of horses and not Gion's army?

W..We are very ashamed!

Though you were defeated, we sent our elite to the Kingdom of Ra.

To think they were repelled...

No, it's impossible.

Even if they have numbers, they're merely a herd of wild animals.

There had to be someone in command.

A..About that...

There is one, right?

We asked an injured Gion soldier.

The valley is an evil place they fear to approach, known as the Valley of the Black King.

Valley of the Black King?

The thousand horses are led by a beast above beasts.

A bronco known as the Obsidian Devil!

The Black King!

Very well...

Show me the way.

The King of Fist will go to this Valley of the Black King himself.

The King of Fist will go himself?

Isn't that dangerous?

It is proper for kings to be visited by kings.

Come if you want, King of Fist!

Didn't you all see how pathetic his army looked?

Sir!

My scheme was a huge success.

I've been betrayed by the horses in that valley for too long.

If we consider the King of Fist's army to be devils,

the beasts in that valley would also be devils.

An eye for an eye.

A tooth for a tooth.

A devil for a devil, right?

As expected from Gion the Wise King.

We are unable to keep up with your mind.

As long as my brain is intact,

I won't allow the King of Fist to step foot in the Kingdom of Ra!

I'll lead his forces into the valley of devils and annihilate them as many times as it takes!

K..King of Fist!

This is the Valley of the Black King.

K..King of Fist!

Th..This is the Valley of the Black King.

Then, I'll be on my way...

The King of Fist's army needs no cowards.

He most likely abandoned his comrades begging for help to save his own skin.

Let's go.

King of Fist...

Souga...

Only the three of us are here.

Feel free to call me Raoh.

I can see why they were helpless when attacked by over a thousand horses here.

And we've come with only the three of us.

Are the two of you making light of my Divine Fist of the North Star?

No...

By the way, Raoh.

Do you have any idea where the Dark King and his horses may be?

None at all.

But we will surely meet them if the Heavens will it.

There he is.

Raoh, what do we do?

Keep it down.

This is a battle between men.

We can only watch in silence.

Why doesn't he move?

A horse's speed is its greatest weapon!

Why doesn't he use it?!

Look!

He was fighting while protecting that foal.

Raoh, do something!

At this rate...

Do not interfere in a conversation between kings!

Raoh!

And you're supposed to be the king of a thousand horses?

I dealt with your burden.

Now you are free to fight.

Raoh!

This is how it should be.

If you had continued fighting,

you would eventually run out of energy and die with the foal.

Kings cannot die.

If a king were to die for the sake of compassion, a thousand soldiers would also die.

If a king were to die of a single kick, his rule would end.

Neither of us are fated to die here.

That doesn't mean...

Reina!

That foal was already fatally wounded.

There was nothing the Black King could do.

Raoh aimed for an acupoint, so the foal shouldn't have felt any pain.

Raoh...

The Black King has lost his desire to fight.

Black King...

You and I are alike.

Will you lend me your back,

if only until the day I complete my rule?

Good!

What?

What's that sound?

Allow your thousand comrades to join the King of Fist's army?

Very well...

From this day on, you are all soldiers in my army!

Join me as we fight through these troubled times.

Okay, Lil' Gion.

Does it taste good?

It's good!

W..Wise King!

It's terrible!

Why are you making such a ruckus?

It's the King of Fist!

The King of Fist is personally leading his army here!

Just draw them into the Valley of the Black King again.

That devil will finish them off.

The Black King is also with him!

What did you say?!

The Black King is serving the King of Fist!

D..Don't be ridiculous!

Two devils joining forces would be unfathomable!

Unfathomable!

What should we do?

There's nothing for us to do!

The King of Fist has recruited the Black King!

We don't have the slightest chance of winning! We're surrendering!

Raise the white flag and open the castle gates!

Wh..Why if it i..isn't the King of Fist!

I..I hope you're having a fine day.

Gion, is it?

You used quite a clever scheme.

Cheap tricks will not work against my fists.

I..l'm terribly sorry!

It was merely the foolishness of a lesser being!

I beg of you! Please grant forgiveness!

Very well...

Thanks to your foolishness, I was able to gain a rare friend in the Black King.

On account of that deed, I shall pardon your offenses

and allow you to become a general in the King of Fist's army.

I am so very grateful!

I swear to do everything in my power to serve you loyally!

Enough flattery.

You should thank the Black King.

What?

M..My liege!

All honor the King of Fist!

All honor the King of Fist!

All honor the King of Fist!

Black King...

This will be your first battle.

I shall let you decide our destination.

North, is it?

Good.

Follow the King of Fist!

The Black King yielded his back.

So, Raoh is such an impressive man?

It seems that the time has come for me to see his power for myself.

A beautiful and enigmatic woman who laughs boldly...

Only a god could have known that her presence would leave even Souga trembling in fear.
