The ninth stage of the Kanigem Tournaments

Start the battle with your army and hero, and units – it's more illustrative that way. And figure out what buttons there are for escaping.
There are two of them – with troops for money, and without troops for free – right?
Well, the AI also has both of these options. Glitch, glitch... :D

When I was killing his allies, he still offered money to escape. So, when I refused the money, you're saying he just ran away. Well, that sounds plausible :)

It's a difficult task, by the way, it doesn't always work out.

:) It wasn't very difficult for me. It's not just about save-loading; you need to initiate a battle with him, take damage from him, press "wait," and not press "defend." In short, give the jerk hope that he supposedly has a chance to win :)
