Nomad: The Warrior Page #2

the mighty army of the Jungars

invaded our land once again.

Meanwhile,

my boys had grown up.

Honored Oraz, Sultan Wali requests

that you escort him to the camp

of Sultan Abulkhair.

Enough.

You would have won, Mansur.

No, Erali, you were better.

Gather everyone.

O Almighty,

let the people be joyous,

and the land prosperous!

Let the men be powerful,

and the horses strong.

Let my people's spirit rise,

and let our enemies be overcome!

Amen.

Let the game begin!

Mansur!

lf we don't come to an agreement,

our homeland will disappear.

That is why l gathered the tribes

here today.

Then what do you suggest we do,

Sultan Abulkhair?

We must find a leader to unite us,

Sultan Barak, and make an alliance.

l would suggest an alliance

with the Russians to the west.

Never!

Sultan Abulkhair,

you do not govern us!

l will not submit to any man,

either Russian Czar or a fellow Kazakh!

We will never surrender our freedom!

No one doubts your bravery,

but we must find some kind of unity,

or the Kazakh people

will cease to exist.

We must never forget

the prophecy of our people.

- l do not believe in fairy tales!

- Neither do we.

No, Sultan Abulkhair is right!

The tribes must come together.

Our only hope is the prophecy.

Gauhar!

Mansur, are you awake?

Yes.

My heart is bursting.

l have not been able to sleep all night!

Something has happened to me,

something l have never felt before.

- What is it?

- l feel dizzy

as if l am high above the ground,

looking down.

l see.

Sounds familiar.

Don't tell me you are in love again.

ls that it?

Yes!

This is the real thing.

l wish you the best of luck this time.

lt happened on the swing.

She was next to me.

Her eyes, her hair...

Gauhar is so beautiful!

Why didn't l notice it before?

So you are in love with her, too?

Have you asked for me, Teacher?

l couldn't find Erali.

l only need to speak with you.

We are facing difficult times.

Yet again, our leaders

were unable to reach

an agreement to unite.

They pull in every direction

instead of standing together.

You are not a child anymore.

The time has come

for you to answer the cries

of our people.

You are right, Master.

Oh terrible!

l bring news!

My liege, l have terrible news!

Oh ruler of the steppes,

my master and protector,

your wisdom is boundless,

and your reign will last many years.

But the child from the prophecy

is still alive.

You must kill him!

Otherwise our days will turn

into nights,

your star will be extinguished,

and we will perish in darkness.

What shall we do, my liege?

The Kazakh's prophecy

has been fulfilled.

When will you return, father?

After l conquer Turkestan

and find the child from the prophecy.

Haven't seen Moonchild for a long time.

- He's grown.

- We have all grown up.

Here, this belongs to you.

You dropped it from the swing.

l want you to keep it.

l'm sorry, l can't.

Why?

Because Erali loves you.

l know.

He is like a brother to me.

He is like a brother to me, too.

l don't know what to say.

You don't have to say anything.

Black flag! lt's the Jungars!

l have to go.

Protect him, Almighty.

The Jungar army was approaching

Turkestan

laying waste to our land,

killing the men,

enslaving the women.

lt would not be long before they

would destroy the walls of Turkestan.

We must not leave Turkestan

to the enemy.

lf we survive, we can rebuild the city.

Now we have to think about

saving people's lives.

You son has become a man.

His time has come.

We need someone to unite

the tribes of our land.

Show him to me.

That day is near.

Be patient.

You will recognize him in battle.

- l will come back.

- No, stay there.

Look after the people.

Goodbye.

- Be safe.

- You, too.

Moonchild, take good care of Gauhar.

- Kasim, look after your sister.

- l will.

Did you tell her?

No, l did not.

And you?

You should have told her.

We are facing a difficult battle.

- We are ready.

- We have gathered a lot of earth oil.

Good.

You should know that there are

hidden tunnels under the city.

Meant for escape?

We have to be prepared for everything.

We will never show our backs

to the enemy.

Do the Jungars know

about the tunnels?

No, but, unfortunately,

they often know more

than we need them to know.

Here, give her to me.

Please keep an eye on her.

Zeinep, Zeinep, l'm going back.

You mustn't!

You can get to safety without me.

You must stay with us.

You're almost there.

The gorge is under that hill.

Gauhar, stop!

Kasim!

Don't let your sister go alone.

Gauhar, Gauhar! Stop!

Stop following me!

Mansur told me to look after you.

Go back.

l will not let you go alone.

Where were you going, my beauty?

l will not tell you!

- Of course you will.

- l would sooner die!

Tighten the rope until it breaks!

Let the boy go!

- Who is he to you?

- My brother.

Then listen to me.

You will become my tenth wife

and bear me a child.

lf you harm yourself in any way,

your brother will be tortured to death,

cursing your name.

Take her to our camp.

To be a wife of a great warrior

like Sharish

is an honor very few can boast of.

lt's good to cry.

A woman's tears wash away

the sadness.

Hurry up!

She should be ready

the moment my son returns in victory.

We cannot take this city

with swords alone.

We must ask Galdan for cannons.

No.

l will take the city alone.

Let us not spill any more blood.

Tell us your terms.

l propose a fight, one against one.

lf we lose... we leave.

lf we win...

you will open the gates to us.

lt will be a duel between two warriors.

lf the Kazakh wins...

they will leave.

lf the Jungar wins...

we will surrender without a fight.

l think we should accept.

Did they give the name of their warrior?

Sharish.

Sharish has never lost a fight!

May l speak, Teacher?

You taught us to fight any opponent.

Each of us is ready.

We are ready!

This time, send me.

Give me your blessing.

You are a great warrior, Erali,

but Mansur will fight Sharish.

lt was Sharish who killed your mother.

O Almighty,

help him prevail over his enemy!

Let the spirit of his grandfather Ablai

aid him in defending the pride

of our people.

Amen.

Did you pray, Kazakh?

For you are about to die.

Let me see you try.

You could not kill me 20 years ago.

Ablai! Ablai! Ablai!

Victory!

Erali!

Bad news!

The Jungars have captured Gauhar.

We have to get her out.

Don't say anything to Mansur.

Ablai! Ablai! Ablai!

Forgive me for not being able

to call you my son for so long.

l am proud of you.

l did my duty.

l avenged my mother.

Please tell me about her.

Everything...

l will.

l promise you.

You mother was a noble woman.

Son.

Father.

Messengers were sent

to all Kazakh tribes of the great steppe

to announce that a new leader,

given the name of Ablai,

has risen and brings hope

to all Kazakhs.

The Sultan's son, Ablai,

is sleeping.

Out of the way!

Open the gate.

Wake up.

Get up.

What is it?

l must leave.

Why?

Do you resent me
