—Kin Mou about his responsibility as a general of Zhao. | ||
Kin Mou was a General of Zhao Military and the late General Kei Sha's left-hand man. He was killed by Sou Tan of the Hi Shin Unit during the Battle at Shukai Plains.
Appearance[]
Kin Mou is a corpulent man with long brown hair, bushy eyebrows and a goatee. He wears general armor with round symbols and an ornate X on the chest and back.
Personality[]
Kin Mou was loyal to his master, obeying his every command without hesitation. His motivation was to protect Zhao, and the end of wars that plagued that period. He is very passionate about his ideals, even willing to risk his life for them. He also seemed be against immature people being on a battlefield, as he was angered by having Ka Ryo Ten and Sou Tan as his opponents.
History[]
Kin Mou served under Kei Sha wholeheartedly for many years up to Kokuyou Hills, where his lord was defeated by the Hi Shin Unit and killed by Shin himself. After that, Kin Mou became a desperate man, trying to avenge his fallen master and fanatically taking every opportunity to get back at the Hi Shin Unit. At the end though, he finally was able to realize that the Hi Shin Unit understood why their enemies fought, and that they would go on to fulfill their enemies' dreams of a peaceful united land, where wars would be obsolete. That probably earn him at least some respite.
Story[]
Kokuyou Campaign Arc[]
Kin Mou accompanied his lord, Kei Sha and Gaku'Ei as they preapred to fight and wage war against the Qin armies led by Qin General Kan Ki. Arriving at Koku You Hills, he observed Ki Sui's preemptive strike force ambush the Qin unit and trick them into taking one of the hills. He would command the left part of the center, facing off against Ma Ron and his armies. After learning of his lord, Kei Sha's death, he meets with Ki Sui to decide their next actions. Devastated and on the brink of sorrow, Kin Mou proposed retreating all the Zhao forces, but Ki Sui denies the notion and tells the Zhao commander to send out a gag order on Kei Sha's death. Ki Sui would take over as the newly appointed Commander-in-Chief and create an entirely new strategy in fighting against the Qin by first reinforcing and changing the left's still mate. After these developments, Kin Mou, Ki Sui, Ba Tei, and Gaku'Ei would meet during the night of the third day. Kin Moun offered his apologies to Gaku'Ei, who was enrage at both him and Ki Sui, but Gaku'Ei tells him it was the right decision at the time and swears he will kill both Kan Ki and Shin of the Hi Shin Unit. However, these plains would fail as Kan Ki would force Ki Sui into making a critical mistake after seeing his "gift". Kin Mou tried to convince him to not leave the battlefield. However, Ki Sui decided to abandon his role and rushed to save Rigan. The remaining Kei Sha Army was left behind to defend the hills but were soon forced to withdraw after losing strategic grounds to the combined strength of Kan Ki Army's Zenou Clan and the Hi Shin Unit.
Western Zhao Invasion Arc[]
During the Battle at Shukai Plains, Kin Mou and his army were originally stationed at the center army, commanded by Ri Boku, Earl Kou and Earl Rai. He was later relocated to the left wing, where he and his troops took concealed positions to guard the left flank against the eventual arrival of the Hi Shin Unit. Kin Mou's plan was to ambush the Hi Shin as they went by his position, however the scouts of the Na Ki Clan were able to flush the Zhao out, forcing an engagement with the Hi Shin's main force.
While being pressed by the Qin, Kin Mou came to the conclusion that the Hi Shin were able to react so swiftly only because their strategist rode among them. He then looked for her on the battlefield, and upon finding Ka Ryo Ten, he decided to take a small unit and target her, personally. His gambit nearly paid off, but he was interrupted by Sou Jin, who bought the strategist a few seconds with a barrage of arrows before he himself was trampled by the Zhao cavalrymen. However, before the Zhao had a chance to finish him off, they were once again interrupted by Sou Jin's own brother Sou Tan, who shot them down one by one. After Sou Tan initiated his assault, Kin Mou was grievously wounded in the chest by an arrow, and what was left of his unit was completely wiped out.
Before his death, Kin Mou expressed his frustration about the cycle of never-ending warfare, which he blamed on people like the Qin, who would use war to chase their dreams and ambitions. Ka Ryo Ten replied that he was wrong and that they would inherit his hopes and dreams of ending all wars and would carry it on their shoulders. Kin Mou finally understood the source of strength of the Hi Shin Unit, a strength that had been able to overcome even Kin Mou's late lord Kei Sha in the past and Gaku'Ei.
With his dying breath, Kin Mou raised his blade against Ka Ryo Ten proclaiming victory to the armies of Zhao and Ri Boku. He was immediately shot through his left eye by Sou Tan.
