Summary[]

The Arrival[]

The Hi Shin Unit arrives at the gathering of a large and massive army, in order for their first deployment after the recruiting and training in the last few months. The new soldiers are getting nervous about the pressure of so many men. Yet lieutenant So Sui manages to calm them down and remembers them of their training. But even Shou Sa and Suu Gen have to admit that they haven’t seen an army as large as this since the coalition army. They talk to lieutenant En about who might be the Commander-in-Chief. But none of them was able to get any information out of Shin since the chief had summoned him and Ten.

The Announcement[]

Then Chief Shou Hei Kun steps onto the stage and announces the beginning of the invasion of Zhao’s western land. Then he announces the general Kan Ki as the commander. While the soldiers of the Kan Ki Army are celebrating, the soldiers of the Hi Shin Unit are quite a bit shocked about this information. But Den Yuu has to admit, that it makes sense, since general Kan Ki was already in charge of the Kokuyou campaign. But then the Chief announces another general, which will be leading an army. He calls forth general Yo Tan Wa. This causes general Heki to collapse.

The armies of the Yo Tan Wa Army place themselves next to the Hi Shin Unit which causes Kan To and the rookies to get nervous again, while Shin greets both Bajio and Tajifu, and is surprised to see, that Tajifu has learnt some language of the central plains. When everybody is confused, about the announcement of two generals, the Chief announces, that none of those two will have the supreme command, but that this role will be fulfilled, by a third one, who will also be leading the last army. He announces general Ou Sen as the supreme commander of the western Zhao campaign.
