The battle continues, and the battle is still going on. The battle is being led by a group of elite warriors from the eight prominent families. The eight families are the descendants of the "forefathers" who conquered the world. The sacrifice of a family member is a cruel way of making the family more prominent, and it is this sacrifice that will enable the family to become more prominent in the eyes of the people. The only way that the family can be more prominent is if the family members are sacrificed, and that is why the eight families have sacrificed so many members.
