The first part of Yegor's plan worked: with a handful of vigilantes, he managed to slow down the horde, allowing residents of settlements along the Prone River to hide in previously prepared wintering grounds. But it has not yet been possible to burn Mongolian vices and exterminate Chinese engineers... And most importantly, where will Yegor and his detachment go when the horde is divided and part of it remains to besiege Pronsk? To the capital of the principality, where will the fate of the invasion be decided? Or will the young warrior follow his heart, to the rescue of Princess Pronskaya Rostislav?
