The Heroic Legend of Arslan

アルスラーン戦記

The Kingdom of Turan decides to take advantage of Pars' moment of weakness to invade, forcing Arslan to abandon his plan to retake Ecbatana to secure the border at Peshawar.

The Turanians regroup and prepare to make another attempt to take Peshawar Fortress, this time using more underhanded means; Andragoras makes his escape from Ecbatana and the Lusitanians.

As Hilmes continues to pursue the treasured sword Rukhnabad, he comes across someone from his past; in Peshawar, King Andragoras sets Arslan a seemingly cruel and impossible task.

Arslan and his party head for the port city of Gilan to the south and get a lay of the land as they begin their attempt to assemble an army of 50,000 men, as King Andragoras ordered.

Arslan continues his quest to raise an army of 50,000 men and the capital required to fund such an army; he and his party attempt to expose the corrupt viceroy of Gilan, Pelagius.

Back in Ecbatana, Guiscard sorely regrets leaving Andragoras alive long enough to escape and vows that he will not make the same mistake again.

The bulk of Arslan's people set out for an uninhabited island in search of hidden treasure, but back in Gilan, the matter of the mastermind behind the pirates remains unresolved.

With the arrival of Etoile and Merlane, Arslan learns of the situation in Ecbatana; although far short of amassing an army of 50,000, he must decide whether to act upon this information or not.
