[Kingdom 10 Translation by Kewl0210]
We've finally made it.
It took quite a while.
So... that's...?
Yes.
That is the capital of the State of Qin. Xianyang.
Ancient China.
After learning that the era of saints had ended,
human desire was unleashed.
And a storm of violent wars erupted for 500 years...
until over one hundred states were reduced to merely seven.
And now, a wind of great history gusts from the State of Qin in the far West.
This is the tumultuous tale of a nameless boy and a young king who brought the warring era to its end!

Invading the Royal Capital
Wh-What is that?
It's way too gigantic! I haven't got a clue what anything is!
Don't piss yourself, moron!
How- How the hell do you make something like that? And what for?!
Calm down!
Just as I'd expect.
Hey, Zheng, are we gonna go attack that thing?
Yes.
How the hell do you attack something that huge?!
I can't even see the other side!
Don't get flustered.
Can you see the especially large building in the center?
Huh? Yeah, I see it.
That's the royal palace.
This rebellion has not been publicly announced outside of the royal palace.
Which means the outside has not yet joined my little brother's ranks.
Huh?! So you mean we've just gotta beat the people in the royal palace?!
That's right.
Hold on a second!
The royal palace is smack in the center of Xianyang!
Of course.
Xianyang was built with the royal palace in the center, surrounded by many castle walls,
and the dwellings of noble families, warrior families, and commoners.
In other words, Xianyang itself is one giant castle.
Of course...?
How the hell are we gonna get through all that to get to the palace?!
Like we said, we've worked out a plan.
Even if you've got a plan, besides those friggin' tall castle walls,
they've got an army waiting for us inside!
That's our objective.
80,000, is it?
That is not nearly enough, Shi Shi.
My humblest apologies. But seeing as we have yet to find the sovereign's seal,
this was the largest number of soldiers we could muster.
You can gather soldiers without the sovereign's seal, can't you?!
Use bribery, threats, whatever it takes!
Go spank the behinds of the influential men that are silently observing this revolt!
This is not a defensive battle.
We have only one goal;
to wipe out the Lü Army of 200,000 men!
For that, we require many, many more soldiers!
Retrieve another 100,000 soldiers at once!
Do not disappoint me, Shi Shi.
Yes, my lord.
80,000 is a little?
By our original calculations, we expected no less than 400,000 soldiers.
But when they called out for soldiers, they only gathered 80,000.
You can be sure that Jie Shi is very nervous.
And then, a large band of people seeking to be his allies will come from a place he didn't expect.
Us?
Yes. We'll make him think we're allies. And if he invites us into the royal palace...
We will have overcome the castle walls unscathed.
Now, let's go!
Those are...!
Finally.
Yang Duan He, you have my deep gratitude for fighting with us.
Words of gratitude are something to be said after victory.
After our victory, it won't be with words. It will be by giving a castle and a friendly welcome to you Mountain People.
I'll be looking forward to it.
A crowd of Mountain People have appeared at the West Gate?!
Yes, my lord!
Their number?
2,000 to 3,000.
They came on horseback wearing odd outfits and carrying weapons.
Though they do not seem to be here to do battle.
Was there no messenger?
There was. He informed us that the Mountain King has descended the mountains in order to reform an alliance.
He then returned to the crowd.
The Mountain King... seeks an alliance...?!
I'll bet an army of 80,000 are suddenly gonna come prancing out.
Why do you always say stuff like that?
It's all right. They're sure to take the bait.
That'd be nice...
With the deciding battle with Lü Shi approaching,
we should be grateful to gain any allies!
It may be only 3,000,
but if the blood of those Majiu Soldiers is flowing through their veins,
they'll be a force to be reckoned with!
Wait!
After having cut all ties with us for all these years, why would they suddenly revive the alliance?!
It's obvious that they're scheming something!
But they're already at the castle gate! What do we do?!
There's no way we can ally with those mountain monkeys!
Just send out 30,000 men to kill them all!
That will be a good training exercise before the battle with the Lü army.
They sure are taking a while!
They're opening it.
Greetings. Please come in.
The State of Qin welcomes you.
You're inviting monkeys into the royal palace?!
What is this nonsense you've decided on without consulting me?!
It is to form an alliance.
You did entrust all governing to me, so I went by my own judgement.
If you are displeased with my decision, I beg your forgiveness...
But would the sight of the Lü Army fighting the Mountain People not be amusing?
Using monkeys to fight a fox... is that right?
That is right.
But I won't be speaking with any monkeys!
Sitting on the throne as the king of the State of Qin is sufficient.
Leave everything to me, your chancellor...
Easy-peasy!
Things are going well so far.
But...
the idea that we would have needed to break down all of these castle walls gives me the chills.
You thought so, too, Brother Bi?
Of course.
Ordinarily, you need two to three times the enemy's number of men in order to attack a castle.
We're trying to do that with 3,000.
This is truly a plan among plans.
Really? I'm kinda fired up now!
It's good to be enthusiastic, but don't let your guard down!
Though we may be outside of the royal palace, we're still on enemy ground.
I know.
Look, Xin! It's the city!
Something's odd.
What is it, Brother Bi?
It feels different from how Xianyang is normally. There's an odd tension in the air...
Do you think they found us out?
It's unlikely.
Take a good look at the people.
There are a lotta guys dressed in all black.
Those are police officers.
What're plicofficers?
People who apprehend criminals.
I see... Those who support the younger brother...
They're silencing the people.
Chengjiao's claim to the throne is legitimate only if it's due to the king's sudden death.
It cannot be due to stealing it through a rebellion.
So they must firmly prevent any disparaging rumors from leaking from the royal palace.
According to reports, the ones who have spoken about the current events happening inside the palace
have been immediately arrested by the police officers and barred from ever returning to their homes.
That's terrible...
That's just the beginning.
Chengjiao and Jie Shi will do anything to achieve their goals.
This is certainly nothing more than a small fraction of the tyranny those two are carrying out.
They're a bunch of monkeys.
Stop it. We've been ordered not to excite them.
Hey!
You're in the way!
Hey! Do you think you're gonna get away with doing that to...
It-It's the top-class military officers, Lord Zuoci and Lord Weixing!
If they're following that man, that means...
That man is Chancellor Jie's right-hand man, Shi Shi!
You should get lost.
Y-Yes, sir! Excuse us!
But to have to invite them inside the royal palace in order to gain 3,000 soldiers...
Don't you think the chancellor is being hasty?
It is not 3,000.
That is the Mountain World King, Yang Duan He.
If we form an alliance with him, we'll be able to make allies of hundreds of thousands of Mountain People.
I see.
So the chancellor made his decision, seeing through to that end.
But even so, one thing bothers me...
Why now?
After having no ties for hundreds of years, why would they suddenly...
I got my hand dirty...
Here?
It's the royal palace.
It looks even bigger than it did from up on the cliff...
Guess you've gotta expect that, though.
What's up?
Lose your nerve, Zheng?
Everything started here...
Inside the royal palace, Piao always used to talk about you.
His eyes would light up as if showing us a treasure of his.
The stories about the two of you training together.
Like when you used an ox in place of a horse for training.
Or about the dream the two of you had of becoming great generals...
Generals?
Yeah! We'll wear golden armor and travel the world!
And finally, we'll become the greatest generals under the heavens!
Great generals?!
And our names will go down in history?!
If it weren't for Chengjiao's rebellion,
I would never have met you or Piao, but...
I suppose Piao would not have died, either...
And the ringleaders who sparked the flame of that rebellion are inside here right now.
It's time to end this, Xin!
Right!
Even if we're wrong, don't die.
Me, die?
This is my first step towards being the greatest general under the heavens!
Like hell I'm gonna drop dead in a place like this!
Even if you're not welcoming them in person, are you sure this is wise, Chancellor?
Allowing those wild beasts in here...
You fool!
Jiang, you know nothing...
This is Yang Duan He we're meeting with.
Though just a little, I have been personally trading with a portion of the Mountain People.
They have many tribes.
Though of course, I did not know they would be descending the mountains at this time...
But I have heard of the Mountain King, Yang Duan He.
He has a strong interest in the flatlands,
and has been seeking a chance to descend the mountains, it seems.
With Yang Duan He as king, the Mountain People have become more powerful than they ever have.
And right now, we need that power...
It seems they will only let the king and 50 envoys with her past this point.
50?!
How the hell are we gonna fight 80,000 people with just 50?!
Calm down.
The army of 80,000 made up of militia men will not be inside the royal palace.
The army is stationed far to the east of here.
What? Why didn't ya say so?
But if they notice any abnormalities inside the royal palace, they'll immediately send them to march on us.
We must defeat Chengjiao and Jie Shi before that happens.
Changwenjun! Bring forward the ten people who have knowledge of the inside of the royal palace.
Yes, my king.
If a battle does start, should the people on the outside try to break down the gate?
In that case, the external enemy army will gather here.
Unless we settle this inside the royal palace, we have no chance of victory.
So all those outside the gate will watch over all of the exits
and capture anyone who goes outside.
I'll request that the other 40 to enter be Mountain People.
Understood.
Hey! I'm going, too!
Of course.
Why the hell are you tagging along?!
Get the hell back there!
It's too late now.
Do you have any idea what's about to happen?!
Yeah, I do!
If we lose in there, even if we're outside, we're all gonna get killed.
And on top of that, I don't fit in with those guys outside.
Even though they saw the clothes I'm wearing, they didn't react at all.
So it looks like I can't call those guys my comrades.
So I'm...
I'm sticking with you guys to rack up some achievements and get rich!
Sheesh...
You might die, ya know.
Lord He Liao Diao of Heibei Village cannot be killed so easily!
At Zhugui Gate, we'll confiscate their weapons and let only the Mountain King and one attendant through.
The king is personally agreeing to it, so I don't think they have any underhanded schemes planned,
but if there is any such thing, it will happen there.
So there are no mistakes in any such unlikely case,
we have stationed many guards there.
They're confiscating our weapons?!
Yes.
Then we can't fight, can we?!
Exactly.
That is why... the battle will start there!
Look. The Mountain People have appeared.
Looks like this is gonna be one flashy start to a battle.
D-Do you think it's gonna start already?
Yeah!
This isn't good! They've got twice as many people as we do!
Doesn't matter!
Hold on a second, Xin!
It's... hard to breathe...
I can barely walk..
Diao! No matter what, don't drift away from me! Got that?!
G-Got it!
I-I definitely won't leave you!
Mountain People! Surrender your weapons here!
Everyone, lay down your arms!
Hey! What?!
They're acting strangely!
No.
The one most suited to make the first strike in this battle is...
What is going on with you guys?!
him!
C-Chancellor...!
What is going on...?!
Chancellor?
What are you monkeys doing?!
Kill! Kill them!
Kill them all!
A bloodbath!
Xin!
Let's go, Diao!
R-Right!
Chancellor, you should take shelter inside for now!
Do not panic.
That Yang Duan He... how dare he deceive me!
But you've underestimated the Zhugui Gate, you mountain monkeys!
What's going on, Brother Bi?!
The Zhugui Gate is built very sturdily, so unless you throw many heavy stones at it, it won't break down!
That's why they chose this place!
Are these guys monsters?!
Don't recklessly climb the walls!
They'll target you!
But...!
If we can't destroy the gate,
the only thing we can do is climb over the walls and open it from the other side, right?!
Exactly!
But those walls are so tall that you'll never get up them in one bound!
Then what do we do?!
Well...
Form a base close to the wall! Form a human ladder and cross over it!
Lord! At this rate, we're just going to lose more men!
I know.
But we have no other choice!
Don't falter!
Unless we cross over that wall, we'll never have victory!
Jiang, choosing Zhugui Gate as the checking station
and increasing the number of soldiers seems to have been a wise decision.
Yes, sir.
Gather guards behind them.
We'll kill them all in front of the gate!
It's no good! We failed, Xin!
If we can't get through the gate,
there's no point in fighting in a place like this!
I've gotta do it...
I've got to!
Another one's going for it!
That's reckless! Come back, Xin!
That's a wall the Mountain People couldn't reach the top of!
Xin!
That hurt, dammit!
He-He made it!
Outta the way! Leave him to me!
Oh no! Cover Xin!
Die!
Uh-oh!
I hit him.
Wh...
Whaaaat?!
Did ya see that?
There's a huge old man up here.
Kill that little monkey!
Ooh, here they come.
Took 'em long enough.
Sorry.
This is also my battle to avenge Piao, so I'm not gonna go easy on you.
