Synopsis

Spoiler shield

This is the second story from a series of adventures of the brave warrior Ilya of Murom. This time he is moving towards the city of Kiev and on the way accomplishes his great and small feats. Arriving at the gates of Chernigov city, Illya discovers that black vorogs are circling around the city. Having settled with them, Ilya Muromets meets the locals, who offer him the honorary position of governor. But the hero refuses the offer, because he needs to move towards Kiev and fight with evil spirits.
