vanquishers

Those who defeat

Vanquishers are those who defeat or conquer opponents thoroughly.

The word carries a tone of decisive, often triumphant victory—not just winning but overcoming completely: The vanquishers claimed the territory as their own.

It appears in historical, literary, and fantasy contexts more than everyday speech.
