The other heroes fight their way through the city’s elite guards, scoffing at the mediocre performances of these supposedly crack troops.

He hands Alibar the battle standard of Hogun’s tribe and sets the luckless thief at the head of a cavalry of Satan’s Forty Horsemen. Alibar rides into battle against the Asgardian invaders—unable to flee his suicide mission….
