Mon Lon was kept in the Gonne barracks, when he and several others managed to escape. One of those slaves was [[Lord Soader]] who became Mon Lon's right hand man. Over the next weeks Mon Lon raided Gonne, while freeing slaves. He amassed a several thousand-strong army, which became a serious threat for Gonne. Reinforcements from Ernele faced Lon Mon and forced them to retreat, however the slaves successfully moved into the mountains of Maird, which slightly under a century ago created such difficulties for [[Maksag Oordar]].

For the next several years, Mon Lon continued raids on Gonne, building a community of former slaves and becoming known as the fighter against slavery, which was a very new and controversial idea at the time even against slaves.

For the next several years, Mon Lon continued raids on Gonne and slave caravans, again taking advantage of his former life as a slave trader. Building a community of former slaves in Maird, he become known as the fighter against slavery, which was a very new and controversial idea at the time even among slaves.

After several years of raids on Gonne, Mon Lon Dōrs marched on Delavire with a mere 4000 army and managed to defeat the city, with Lord Soader fighting by his side. Two months later Mon Lon Dōrs led his now 7500-strong slave army on Gonne, but was defeated with the help of Moon King V. Mon Lon Dōrs managed to flee, but Lord Soader was captured and executed, along with a number of others. This was discovered only later, to the great disappointment of Moon King V, who wanted to personally punish Soader for his treatment of Lotyfa.

Their life in the mountains, however, was rough and riddled with difficulties. Not only had they been regularly attacked on the Gonne side, but they were also attacked by the forces of Maird.

Mon Lon eventually marched on Delavire in 1611 [[SR]]. His 4000-strong army managed to defeat the city. In an astonishing turn of fate, he managed to find his former captors and executed them. Two months later he led his now 7500-strong slave army on Gonne and, as was usual to him, attacked the city at night. But the city was prepared, having secured the support of [[Moon King V]]. The slave army was decisively defeated, with many, including Lord Soader, executed. Mon Lon Dōrs managed to flee.

His exact whereabouts in his final years are not known in too great a detail, but he seemed to have coasted between Maird in the north and Kippie tribes in the south. Available evidence suggests that he gave up on his movement, probably realizing that achieving the same momentum would be impossible.
