Kongen i nord skal angripe kongeriket til kongen i sør, men han skal være nødt til å vende tilbake til sitt eget land igjen. Men sønnene hans skal prøve seg igjen. De skal hisse opp til strid og samle seg en veldig stor hær – de skal skylle over landområdet som en flom. Igjen skal de gå til kamp mot kongen i sør, og de skal nå helt fram til festningen hans. Da vil kongen i sør bli rasende og dra ut for å sloss mot kongen i nord, som skal dra ut med en stor hær, men likevel skal han overvinnes av kongen fra sør.
