Defeat the Huns

Getting down to business. To do something in complete seriousness. To do something urgently.
Example 1.
Brown: "So how's everyone at your new job?"
Red: "Man, they're no fun. All they wanna do is defeat the Huns."
Brown: "Bummer."

Example 2.
Kevin: "Hey wanna watch a movie?"
Ash: "Nah, I got a midterm tomorrow so I gotta defeat the Huns."
