Nanyou Castle is the 807th chapter of the Kingdom manga.
Summary[]
In Shintei[]
Han officials are shocked by the news brought by a messenger: Another force of 100,000 Qin soldiers appeared. Chancellor Chou thinks it's impossible for Qin to have that many soldiers. Despite their doubts, they decide to order Nanyou's forces to move to Shintei. This decision is difficult to make for them, as it means to abandon the 10,000 citizens of the city. Some of the officers even have family there. Chou adds they can trust the lord of Nanyou, Ryuu’an, as he is one of the most capable Lords in Han.
