thank you very much!
there actually are other enemies (a total of 5 different ones)! once you defeat the knight, you can move onto the giant, you can fight it until you beat it and so on until you reach Kazan!
I honestly thought the map was just decoration I somehow missed it being a level selection... Well I probably killed the knight 100+ times now while playing it in the background so I think I'll be able to take out the rest now lol. -Kaylee
