 Not long after, the legend continues, a group of Sakalava (or, by some accounts, Vazimba) warriors were preparing to attack a village north of Alasora called Ambohipeno.Ralambo announced that it would be sufficient to throw a rotten egg at the warriors, and "kelimalaza" would take care of the rest.According to oral history, the egg was thrown and hit a warrior in the head, killing him on contact; his corpse fell onto another warrior and killed him, and this corpse fell onto another and so forth, until the warriors had all been destroyed, forevermore confirming the power of "kelimalaza" as the protector of the kingdom in the minds of the Merina populace.
