Elsu hefted his sword and stared down at the village's champion. He wondered who dug this man up.

"This is a trial by combat!" The appointed announcer proclaimed, "You must kill your opponant to claim victory.  If the An-Xileel champion wins Rockpoint will surrender to them.   If the Rockpoint champion wins, the An-Xileel will respect the village's autonomy for the next five years." The announcer looked to both warriors, and recieved nods. "Begin!"

Elsu took aggressive steps towards his opponant and took a half swing. The smaller Argonian skirted around it trying to get to Elsu's left. The Naga turned, and swung from where his sword still hung in the arm. The Argonian ducked under he swing and stabbed out with his dagger at Elsu's waist. Elsu raised his knee and mashed it into the champion's face as he dove, sending the Argonian tumbling backwards. Elsu balanced himself and pressed forward. He swung again, and the champion barely managed to get backwards. Elsu took another step forwards and swung horizonally. The Argonian ducked under the swing, going on the defensive. Elsu quickly took control of his blade again and sliced downward in diagonal. The sword cleaved into the still crouched champions shoulder, who toppled to his knees. Elsu ripping his blade free with a burst of blood and kicked the lizard onto his back. Elsu raised the blade into the air, point down, and stabbed his enemy through the heart, finishing the fight.

Cheers broke out among the An-Xileel ranks. The village forces just hissed shocked whispers to each other.

"Do not fear!" Elsu announced to the village. "We are not here to harm you!  You are becoming part of a greater thing!  Join us, and see the return of Argonia!" He had definately drawn attentio now. "No force on Tamriel can ever stop us!"

The cheer got more vicious on the An-Xileel side and surely and slowly warriors from the village joined in as they marched into the newly claimed town.
