The Hi Shin officers are gathering at their HQ they received the order from the messengers of Ou Sen and Kan Ki to advance in order to strike the position of Zhao. The arrival of Kyou Kai with her new haircut makes sensation and does not leave insensible Ga Ro and Shin. On the way to conquer the capital of Zhao, Kantan, stands the 2 final roadblocks, the strongholds of Bujou and Heiyou.
In order to capture these 2 forts, the armies of Ou Sen, Kan Ki and Yo Tan Wa have begun their invasion. The Hi Shin Unit is located between the Ou Sen and Kan Ki armies and continues to advance northward. Ten predicts that they will be incorporated into the Ou Sen's forces facing Bujou because it's the easiest terrain to advance.
Shin meets Mou Ten and asks him if he also knows in which army he will join. Mou Ten tells Shin that he discovered only this morning that the Gaku Ka Army will be incorporated to the Ou Sen Army. Mou Ten confirms him that the Six Great Generals will begin to set up their strategy more freely and that Kan Ki seems to gather all the surrounding troops for a reckless push. Shin tells him that the uncertainty ruins the morale of the troops, but Mou Ten replies that it is even worse for the enemy who does not know what to expect. Hi Shin Unit, Gaku Ka Army and Gyoku Hou Army are powerful and they will want to use their flexibility to their full advantage. Moreover, Mou Ten tells him that Ou Hon's child was safety born the other day sending the Hi Shin General into sheer shock. Mou Ten goes on to tell Shin that right after Ou Hon had married Sai Ka, who was his fiancée for a long time, two years ago before leaving for the war.

Kan Ki tries to press an attack on an unfavorable ground in order to seize Eikyuu's hill with his left wing. Ten states that it was the worst idea to target such a terrible terrain and that he would lose a lot of troops. Her prediction turns out to be correct, the left wing is intercepted on the way and was practically annihilated. Shin's army encounters an Gyoku Hou's former encampment but there are no soldiers left. The Gyoku Hou Army was called to the battlefield with orders by Kan Ki, in the direction of Eikyuu.
