May 17 1832, Orthodox troops marched towards the Capital of the Protestants, Hablisi. Devasted and outnumbered the Protestants held for one final last stand at a nearby hill, which is later to be know as, Glank Hill. They set up serveral defenses on the hill, digging trenches and using wooden logs as main cover. 12,000 were dugged in, tired, hungry and many only had 5 to 10 rounds left, and they had to face, a stronger and well equiped Orthodox Army, almost 5 times their size. Genreal Glank Tibein, commander of the Protestant troops on the hill told the men, "do it for god, lets fight and die for him, for the enemies are not true followers of his word." At around 0730 hrs, the horns blew, the battle of Glank Hill has begun.
