ep6-1

The morning sun rises over the ancient walls of Benin City. A kingdom of

bronze and mud, standing in a silence that will soon be broken. Beyond the mist,

the British expeditionary force prepares. Rifles are loaded and hearts are hardened for the

campaign that lies ahead in the African bush. Inside the gates, the warriors of

the Oba stand ready. They are the shields of their ancestors,

prepared to die for the land they love. The first volley shatters the peace.

History is written in smoke and blood as the old world and the new collide

in a storm of fire.
