They kill everyone in the kingdom in the absence of Bhairava who goes with Mithra to Bhairava Kona(a spiritual place) to offer yagnas for the welfare of the kingdom. The enemies come to that place to kill Bhairava and conquer the princess. Sher Khan wants to prove Bhairava family reputation as a myth, killing at least hundred soldiers before they die.
