Story[]
Western Zhao Invasion Arc[]
During the Battle at Shukai Plains, the earl was positioned at the center battlefield. On the 15th day of battle, the troops under his command finally had to spring into action as Ou Sen took the offensive. His battalions faced those of Den Ri Mi, and as they had been trained by Ri Boku himself, were able to gain the upper hand against the Qin.
The tide turns, however, as Ou Sen was able to pierce the secret behind the Origins Tactic employed by the Zhao, managing to even the odds. The Earl notices Shi Ryou and general Sou Ou making great advances towards Ri Boku's HQ and decides to personally put a halt to their incursion. He then fought against Shi Ryou in single combat. The Earl couldn't believe he was facing a woman, as he was greatly surprised by the sheer strength of her arms. The battle was fierce but brief, as he was sliced shoulder to rib when Shi Ryou's sword was able to cut through his glaive.
