== Duel ==
As Jiri entered the city of Einez, he noticed that no man dared to foil him. Jiri strolled into Einez alongside his absolutely loyal general Hamina. The city was just about to give offerings to Jiri so that he would spare that, however, one man stepped forward.
Gallu Strongbone was a man known by everyone living in Einez. He was a far relative of the regent Sexton Scale, but Gallu was dumb. He was known for his strength and idiocy. As Gallu balked Jiri, everybody wanted to cheer, yet everybody was too scared. Their hearts cheered Gallu on. Gallu invited Jiri into an duel which Jiri consented to. Gallu was recorded threatening Jiri by saying "My bones are as hard as steel".
Gallu charged Jiri and tried to strike him with his fist, which Jiri averted. Jiri then riposted Gallu with his Amagad Greatsword. Much for everybody's amazement, the blade did not go through. Gallu punched Jiri hard and Jiri actually had to take some steps back. However, as Gallu charged his next attack, Jiri managed to pull off brilliant fencing and managed to stab Gallu's brains through Gallu's eyes. The battle lasted for only 54 seconds.
== Aftermath ==
After the Battle of Einez, Jiri scorched the city and moved on to Meta-Gudur. Gallu's son Galthur was taken captive by Jiri.
