Prithvi and gang get on the bullock cart and head for Lohargad. (The bullock cart has the villager’s dead body underneath hay/grass and the scroll in his hand intact.) They use the road by the lake , we need to reach earlier before night to Lohargad Prithvi tells the bullock cart owner.
What is it “malik,” what’s the hurry, he asks?
How much time will it take? Asks Prithvi
Don’t worry at all we will be there before night fall, he assures them. Chand asks, would Samar Singh have reached Lohargad by now?
Yes, he must have, let him come with the sena and reach the destination, then I will be able to answer each and every move of Ghori.
The bullock owner asks, where are you all from, your dialect sounds familiar?
Dhillika.
Dhillika? Wa! There is Prithviraj he is “Swaraj ki Maharaj,” have you ever met him before?
Chand tells, yes we all met him before, we know him personally, have you met him ?
What is in my destiny? People say in front of Prithvi’s sword no military can even conquer him. Since you know him well, tell me about him some more. I am illiterate, uneducated person what do I know, how to tell a story. But in our village there are songs dedicated to Prithvi.
Sing one tells Pundir.
The bullock cart driver sings.
The dead villager is still unnoticed in the cart and they all travel ahead.
S Singh is on his daily trek, a troop approaches him and informs of the message sent by Arjun. He wants to meet you immediately. S Singh wonders what it could be. S Singh has found Arjun waiting for him, what is it Arjun? He asks.
Prithvi needs your help badly, he needs you to come to Lohargad under any circumstances.
Lohargad? Is everything okay? S Singh asks worriedly.
Actually Ghori is playing some game with Prithvi, we need to leave immediately.
What kind of game?
It’s a long story, I will tell you on the way. We just need you and your military can you help us?
Don’t worry Arjun, what’s the part of the military, I can give my life up for him, Lets GO! They both head for Lohargad.
At Ghori’s camp villagers are readily building the wall construction. The work is at full swing one labor collapses due to exhaustion. Seeing this! Ghori starts to whip the innocent man. I told you people if you slow down the work, I will hit you all so hard that you will be whipped to pieces. The wall needs to be ready in three days compulsory. Ghori’s commander intervenes, but Sultan, If I am not able to complete the task in that time, then?
Then I will kill you too, tells Ghori.
Sultan Salamat Rahe! We accomplished the task in killing the runaway villager, the messenger tells Ghori. He didn’t reach to Prithviraj.
Kub! Looks like God is even with us, I am sure we will succeed in our plans. Tatha Kahn, just see we will rule over Hindustan very soon, earlier then planned. Hurry up we don’t have time. The poor people don’t even know that before reaching Lohargad Prithvi will be killed!

The 3 travel on the bullock cart. Ghori’s troops are waiting on a tree they see him approaching and get ready to strike. The cart hits a ditch they all tilt over. Prithvi tells the cart owner to halt. Looks like somebody is in the cart with us they all get off the cart.
Pundir asks, how did this dead body get here, who’s is it?
Prithvi sees the scroll in the dead mans hand, he takes it and reads it. It’s addressed,
To the King,
Mohd Ghori is trying to make your attention diverted elsewhere, slowly ,slowly he wants to take over Hindustan. He sent you south and he himself has headed north towards Dhillika. After taking over our village he has made Satwagaon into a site where construction is going on for a fort. He is making a very strong fort around the villages so that all areas will be out of the territory of Hindustan. Save us! Save Hindustan!
Prithvi finishes reading he is unaware, already Chand and Pundir are hit by a poison blow pipe. Prithvi calls them both, but it’s to late they collapse. He sees Ghori’s troops hanging on trees above him holding pipes. Prithvi yells, come face me come out now! One more pipe is blown, it hits Prithvi’s neck, he plucks out the sliver, he is saved but surrounded by the troops his eyes are blurry.
How are you Prithviraj Chauhan they taunt!
I knew you are cowards hide and do phony tricks. Anyways it’s your turn to die, nobody can stop me not even God can stop us going to Lohargad. Prithvi takes on the attackers then he makes a get away.
They troops mumble, we wont let him go so easily, he got away because of an error.
Prithvi returns to his journey.
S Singh and Arjun are waiting patiently. Prithvi has not come, S Singh asks.
Don’t worry he will, replies Arjun.
Okay we will wait, all troops spread apart we will wait further.
Its nightfall now, he must be arriving .

Prithvi is alone he doesn’t know what happened to his buddies, he rides the bullock cart alone and once again his attacker confront him.
We have come they announce!
Prithvi quickly jumps off the cart and takes his lance. He fights the gang slowly one by one but loses his sword finally. Nevertheless he fights with his bare hands, they answer by twisting his arms. Prithvi falls down and they start o kick him, he lays there flat on the ground.
It has become pretty dark now, Arjun has become impatient he looks everywhere, Prithvi should have reached here.
I think its some “gadbad” tells S Singh.
No, that cannot be, answers Arjun, we should wait for him here only.
Pundir, Chand and Prithvi are bruised badly they are viciously tied upon wooden poles with water thrown at their faces by Ghori’s troops. Start, one says aim at their guts, they aim arrows at Chand.
Stop! Tells Prithvi.
Shouting will not stop us, Sultan has ordered this, we take only his orders.
Ghori is at the site, he aims at the apple with his bow and arrow. A messenger arrives with his news, You have got what you wanted Prithvi has been caught his corpse will be brought soon.
It’s sure a good day! No mistake occurred this time. See I told you no mistake by me he aims at the apple. Today is the best night ever. The night of end, now nobody can save Prithviraj!
Pundir is a target and hit by the arrow. Pundir! Prithvi shouts. Stop the game, kill me, aim at me stop!
Okay! They say. Hit Prithvi, aim at him, make him the “nishan”. They hit his legs. Now aim at his hands.
S Singh says, enough, we cannot wait here my heart tells me that Prithvi is in a bad situation.
Arjun says, what do you think he can face anything. He has Pundir with him. He just told us to wait.
Okay then half of my sena will wait here, we will go and save Prithvi. Let’s go!
Ha ha ha ha ha! Enough now King, don’t worry all the game will be over soon, directly on the heart, aim at Prithvi’s heart!
