Kang Oh and Dukeram's duel in the Nazrak Plains was the climax of the battle.

It was at this moment that Dukeram, who'd gone from the 'Invincible Emperor' to the 'One and Only God', lost his title as strongest.

However, half of the playerbase still believed that Dukeram was the strongest. After all, Dukeram had retained his position as rank 1. His accrued wealth, achievements, etc. had kept him firmly in the top spot.

Although he'd officially lost to Kang Oh once, the Empire Guild was still alive and well.

People believed that Kang Oh needed to completely destroy the Empire Guild in order to take rank 1. They also said that this was his best chance to do so.

After all, the Alliance was advancing towards the strategic stronghold, Saw Rock Fortress, after defeating them in battle.

If the Alliance defeated the Empire once and for all, then the Empire Guild would be labeled as the 'instigators' of the war, and would be punished accordingly.

Kang Oh was of the same mind. 

He planned on taking advantage of this opportunity, and destroying the Empire Guild once and for all. Kang Oh would be so thorough that they'd never be able to come back!

Thus, Kang Oh and Sephiro were riding on...
