It started with the slaughter at Wan Castle,
and now, much blood from both armies has spilled.
Wu Qing.
We finally meet.
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!

Wise General VS Courageous General
What?! They came out even?!
General!
Biao Gong!
Wu Qing!
Man, this is incredible.
Hang in there, General Biao Gong!
General Qu Qing! General Qu Qing! General Qu Qing!
General Qu Qing! General Qu Qing! General Qu Qing! General Qu Qing!
General Qu Qing! General Qu Qing!
Th-This is...
It's bad, ain't it?
This will add to Wei's Great General's power.
I thought it was weird he got cornered like this.
Was he that confident?
He was aiming to be pushed by these cheers from the beginning.
That it would be a one-on-one fight between generals.
And the winner of the fight between the two would be the winner of the whole war!
Hey, let's get some cheers going, too!
We'll give some excitement to the general!
Unless we do something, he won't be able to use his full strength!
The general has no need for such a thing.
The moment it became a one-on-one battle, the winners and losers were decided.
What do you mean?!
In all of China, the number of people who could be a match against Lord Biao Gong
could be counted on one's fingers.
Wu Qing's military strength will not possibly reach that of Lord Biao Gong's.
Then the general is holding back and just playing around right now?
He is not.
The general is getting to know Wu Qing.
Getting to know?
He is a mysterious person indeed,
Lord Biao Gong.
But it is likely for him to soon make his move.
Lord Biao Gong! Lord Biao Gong!
Lord Biao Gong!
With the first strike of my sword, I could tell the level of your resolve and vigor.
But with my second, I lost track of the location of your soul.
Wu Qing!
You did not enter a one-on-one fight in order to excite your warrior's blood, did you?!
For what pathetic reason did you challenge me?!
I would like to hear it before I kill you.
General!
Biao Gong. There dwells within me something far more heated than the blood of a warrior
and with this sword, I will tell you what that is.
Interesting.
What's wrong? Are you finished?
Biao Gong...
Lord Wu Qing!
Please, stop fighting and order the whole army to attack Biao Gong.
We'll slaughter all of the State of Qin's foot soldiers
and if you issue a gag order on your own army,
we can make it so the one-on-one battle itself never happened.
Leave it to us.
I ask that you please hand down the duty to us.
Lord Wu Qing! What in the world...?
Lord Wu Qing!
Up against invader, to not retreat at this point...
honestly surprises even myself.
People's emotions are beyond their control.
Oh? I thought you were a cool-headed man
but now I can see deep passion.
Were you invaded by enemies,
and perhaps had your family killed?
It was not just my family!
What was killed... was my country itself!
His country... was killed?
30 years ago, a small country called Jia, located in the east of Wei, was destroyed by Zhao.
And I was part of that country's royal family!
He's a survivor of the ruling family of a ruined country?
I changed my name and tattooed my face.
I became a different person, wandered, and eventually made my way to Wei.
With the help of Lord Xinling, I regained my name
and the State of Wei became my second fatherland.
But... The landscape I saw on that day of that rumbling, blazing castle...
I have not forgotten it, even an instant.
I see.
So you were taken captive by that grudge,
and carelessly challenged me, is that it?
Do you know what it means to lose your country?
You could not possibly understand!
It's meaningless sentiment of a loser!
It is normal in this world of warring states for small countries to be weeded out!
Your lick of distress is just one out of those many!
On the battlefield, stories of one's history have no meaning whatsoever!
For soldiers, all that matters is how to defeat the enemy in front of them.
For generals, all that matters is how to defeat the enemy general!
One's heart cannot be captive of anything else!
To place your own feelings above your duty as general, you have become the picture of defeat!
Come, Wu Qing!
As a Great General of the State of Qin, I will put an end to you!
Has the air changed?
No. What's changed is Biao Gong.
When I saw that castle burn, I understood something.
In this world, there is often something huge that most people do not understand in the justice they conceive of.
And for me right now, that is Biao Gong.
If he hits, my body is sure to be destroyed.
But even so...
Even so...
I will not retreat!
That ingenuity, that had you in a close fight with me up to this point,
and that passion you put in your fighting at the end...
made quite a great flame, Wu Qing!
Victory cry!
As he heard the victory cry of the soldiers, Xin's eyes were captured not by the victorious General Biao Gong,
but by the tragic sight of the collapsed General Wu Qing.
Because even dead, the eyes of Wu Qing
still had a small flame smoldering in them.
Seeing that sight made Xin mutter something in his mind.
"So this is a general?"
And so, the flow of the war was decided.
3,000 Qin soldiers accompanied Biao Gong
and over 50,000 Wei soldiers surrounded them.
But there wasn't a single soldier among the Wei army that raised their fallen shoulders.
Lord Wu Qing...
The mighty general known as Wu Qing
was too great a presence for the Wei Army.
In front of the one Vice General, that had any possibility of restoring the fighting spirit of the State of Wei Army, Bai Guixi,
stood that man.
You're...
I was able to see something good for the first time in quite a while.
To prolong this battle any further
would only be superfluous.
Or do you have the confidence that you can make something even greater than that one-on-one fight
unfold with me, Wang Qi?
W-Wang Qi!
Look!
The Wei Army is... retreating.
We won...?
We... won...?
We won!!
Big Brother!
We survived... We survived, you damn idiot...
Even though so many people died...
from the 4th Army and all the other armies...
and even Thousand Man General Fu Hushen!
Dammit! Dammit!
We won, goddammit!
It has been quite a while, General Biao Gong.
Oh, Wang Qi?
You holding authority from atop that hill
gave us quite a bit of help.
Oh, no. I was merely passing by, doing some sightseeing.
By the way, General, what do you plan to do from here?
Will you continue on to an attack?
Or else...
Once a great flame is calmed, immediately reigniting it is next to impossible.
To all units,
we're returning home!
In Shi Huang Year 2, 245 BCE,
there was a gathering of troops for one battle between the State of Qin and the State of Wei.
But...
For Xin, who aimed to become the greatest general under the heavens,
that was nothing more than a small beginning.
In a world where seven kingdoms battled in violent wars,
many sparks of war were still coming into being.
General, huh...?
I'm gonna be one, too.
State of Qin Anjian
Why are there so many corpses here...?
We won the war, didn't we?
Ow!
Y-You're alive!
Yeah, I am.
Why're you pretending you're dead like that?!
I am not!
I barely made it out with my life and was brought here with the salvaged corpses.
Everyone had collapsed.
Barely made it with your life? You won, didn't you?
Yeah. But we had a lotta losses, too.
And the 4th Army that got dispatched from here almost got completely wiped out!
Wiped out?
What's with you?
Why'd ya come to a place like this?
So? He's got weird clothes, doesn't he?
Heh. Ya got a point.
What's up?
Don't give me that "What's up?", you idiot!
The wound I got from Ma Gui!
Are you okay, Xin?
That hurt, dammit!
Shut up!
Anyhow, you got some achievements, right?!
Sure did.
Okay! Good job!
3 Months Later
This place sure is amazing.
They're selling tons of delicious looking foods...
Don'cha think, Xin?
Don't be in such a rush.
Xin! That shop!
They're selling some really tasty lookin' stuff!
We'll get food later.
Are you not feeling well?
I told you, didn't I?
We're using this reward money I saved up to buy some armor.
Heh. You're thinking about something before food?
You sure have grown up.
Just what I'd expect from a Hundred...
We'll enjoy that armor later on.
How about we fill our stomachs right now?
Welcome!
Oh, here are some faces I haven't seen before.
We came all the way from three villages over.
This guy was talking about buying armor.
Armor? You, sir?
Are you here to get armor for your first campaign?
My first campaign is over.
I'm buying the armor with money I earned in the last war.
The last war?
You mean the one three months ago against the State of Wei?
All the people from around here were in the 4th Army
and most of them died.
What a dull lie.
I'm tellin' you!
I was in that 4th Army and got money from it, dammit!
I-I'm sorry!
Sure is busy today.
Huh? This guy...
Oh, some real heroes from the 4th Army have come.
If it isn't the mounted soldier!
You're the old man who was the most popular when we were making Wus!
Looks like you're doing well, mounted soldier.
Just call me Xin.
You look okay yourself, old man.
Boss, is this brat...
I mean this boy really that one?
Yeah. This boy...
In that war with Wei, he put on an incredible performance and went right from foot soldier all the way to...
Xin rose to the rank of Hundred Man General!
Hundred Man General?
That means he's a captain of a unit of one hundred people!
In just one war?
A kid like this?
It's an exception among exceptions, but I truly think it was the right decision.
If it weren't for Xin, forget the 4th Army,
I don't know what would've happened with that whole war.
Aw, you're exaggerating.
On the way back from the war, everyone was talking about Xin.
When I'd heard he was being made a Hundred Man General,
I was as happy as if it were me being made one.
R-Really?
It's the first time I've been looking forward to the next war this much.
And I'll bet you I'm not the only one who'd like to fight in your unit.
My unit's gonna be really something.
You must be glad, Xin.
You were able to buy armor.
Looks good, doesn' it?
No it doesn't.
Don't act so proud. Are you a little kid?
About what?
Anyhow, uh...
You got bigger again.
You...
