Shin notifies his soldiers that their unit is independent and therefore doesn't belong to any official division or army. They answer only to Great General Ou Ki himself. He then tells them that he honestly doesn't know what an independent unit does, but he knows that by the General classifying their unit as different that they will see different battles, harsher battles but also earn them more rewards and glory. Everyone from the Dakan Plains survivors and his hometown are shocked to see that Shin managed to rally and raise moral so easily. Shin is allowed to appoint two lieutenants. He states that En is one of them and the other one isn't here yet.
