Ch 3

Following Ou Ki's appointment, me and Shin leave immediately to join up with the bulk of the army's forces; shin join the infantry that had already set off under Heki's command. Forced to wait until the war councils conclusion, Ou Ki would set off few days later, and meet up with us before we reached Bayou.

Upon regrouping with his comrades from the previous war, Shin orders them to find the strongest guys they can, resulting in a hundred-man unit built almost entirely from the survivors of the 4rth and 2nd armies. Speaking to his newly formed unit, he informs them that they will play a decisive roll in the war. He then introduces his first lieutenant En, his second lieutenant Kyou Kai.

Without a commander-in-chief present to raise spirits, and demoralized by rumors of the Zhou army's unstoppable advance and heartless brutality, morale began to waver so I take it upon myself to rise their spirits by giving a speech. When the battle started Kan Ou takes Fuuki head-on, me and my man slip through the rear. Certain of his victory Fuuki claims he has won, to which Kan Ou replies, "That is impossible, this is the end of the line for you. Our Lord's arrows has arrived," just as Shin leaps from his horse to cut down general Fuuki but miss but I jump up and cut fuuki head off eliminating the Zhao army's main strategist, and putting a close to the first decisive battle.

Mou Bu was tasked by Ou Ki to do something in which he pass.

Pleased with Mou Bu's results, Ou Ki decides on the fourth day, to devote all his resources to Mou Bu, giving him command of the entire army in an all-out offensive.

Having been granted the entirety of Qin's forces, Mou Bu orders an Army-wide charge, completely surprising Zhao forces, and forcing them to withdraw at the risk of being crushed under his might. Abandoning their headquarters, they fall back into the mountains, a battlefield were only small scale unorganized battles can take place.

Given permission to decide whether or not to pursue the Zhao army, Mou Bu chooses to advance, under the condition that he always remain within sight of the HQ. This condition was implemented by Ou Ki as the only means to maintain communication and organization in the rugged terrain, allowing them to send signals through flags.

Hou Ken attacks the Qin encampment of the Hi Shin Unit was stationed at in the middle of the night. Faced with rage at the number of his subordinates slain by the demonic commander-in-chief, and the chance of glory should he take his life, Shin orders his unit to attack Hou Ken. But even with the use of tactics and teamwork, his superior martial ability and Kyou Kai's god-like swordsmanship, he was defeated and falling unconscious. As he was carry to a safe place the night passed.

Lured into chasing Hou Ken far out of the range of the Qin HQ, the hot-blooded Mou Bu follows him through a mountain gorge, losing the majority of his troops through a number of traps and ambushes, until they find themselves trapped in a bell-shaped inlet. As qin troop March to enemy HQ and attacked Ou Ki also enters the battle to crush the enemy HQ himself.

Ou Ki makes great progress until Hou ken engages him in single combat. Refusing to leave Ou Ki's defeat to chance, Gi Ka of the Ten Bows of China throws away his honor to interfere with Hou Ken's duel. Noticing Gi Ka's intentions, Shin rides up to stop him but is halted by his escort just long enough for him to release an arrow into Ou Ki's back. While not fatal, this arrow was just enough to cripple Ou Ki's power, allowing Hou Ken to deliver the final blow, piercing Ou Ki's chest with his glaive. Avenging Ou Ki, Shin and I cuts down Gi Ki, before shin hop onto Ou Ki's horse. Enraged, Ou Ki's army fights with everything they've got, refusing to let the Zhao army obtain and desecrate their beloved leader's body. I defeat Chou Sou, cut a path through the Ri Boku Army to freedom. Noting how dangerous Ou Ki's army has become with the fall of their leader, Ri Boku decides not to pursue us, instead of withdrawing his troops, as they had achieved what they came for; Ou Ki's death.

Before Ou Ki dies, he passes on some of his wisdom to me and his glaive to Shin, thus acknowledging our potential and passing on his will to us.
