Qin's Military Prestige is the 167th chapter of the Kingdom manga.
Summary[]
The armies are chocked to see another army arriving. Ou Ki estimated that it would have taken the new army a half a day to arrive, however they arrived already. His prediction of a hidden army where spot on, but the timetable was wrong. This increase of speed of Ri Boku Cavalry was because they were accustomed to the terrain because of the conflict with the Xiongnu. Ri Boku had predicted that Ou Ki would misguide the speed of his army as he already investigated Ou Ki service record. Ri Boku saw in the reports that Ou Ki never fought the Xiongnu. After seeing this army, Ou Ki is sweating slightly. Meanwhile the Hi Shin Unit and the rest of Ou Ki army are still shocked. Another flag of Three Great Heavens is raised and Qin army are covering in fear witnessing now two great heavens. Shin asks Ryuu Sen how many men power this new army has. He says there are as much soldiers as he can see. Chou Sou and Heki then see the army as well. Chou Sou says that the army of Ri Boku is 40.000. A sudden fresh army in front of Qin caused the moral of Qin drop to zero. The location however is the most unfortunate of Qin as they are now locked in by mountains and Zhao army. Kaine asks why going so far as they didn't need to do that for Xiongnu as then one of Ri Boku states that Ou Ki head is worth more than the fifty castles he conquered. The loss of Ou Ki will result in the loss of prestige of Qin and the rise of prestige of Zhao. Ri Boku then orders the first wave to move forward. Th battle has become one sided. Ou Ki soldiers then surround Ou Ki in order to protect him. Suddenly Ou Ki smiled as he says that he is impressed. He states that this is the first in 20 years to face such a hopeless situation. Ou Ki then instructs his army on how to attack. The Hi Shin Unit then gets fired up to attack. Hou Ken then asks Ou Ki where he is going as the duel hasn't finished is.
