Synopsis

The tension is at its peak in the Hi Shin Unit. They decide to do so many exploits that Ou Hon's unit will be forced to recognize their strength. The battle of Wei begins, while the Hi Shin unit is ambushed to destroy their enemies. Mou Ten, commander of 300 men, observes them from afar, not very motivated by this battle for military exploits. In the royal palace, the strategies against Ryo Fui are being discussed, while Shi Shi tells them about the existence of a third faction: The Royal Harem.
