Wang Qi and Liao
Liao was a woman and was going to be Wang Qi's wife...?
No... You're saying that one of the Six Great Generals was a woman?!
Yes, now I'll tell you everything.
I met Liao a long, long time ago.
At the time, the State of Qin and the State of Zhao were in fierce contention with each other.
The long war ended in the State of Qin's victory,
but there were many places where the embers of war still smoldered.
That was the kind of age it was.
Young Lord!
Lord Changwenjun!
General Wang Qi's army has arrived!
Wh-Who are they?!
That... odd-looking army...
They're just a bunch of fools that want to show off.
A woman?!
That young woman was the female soldier Liao.
Her looks belied the fact that she was professed to be a warrior that put men to shame.
When I inquired, I learned that she had originally been a servant girl at Wang Qi's residence.
Servant girl?
Yes, I also heard that she had been near Wang Qi since her childhood and polished her martial arts skills on her own...
Of course, I did not believe those things, however.
What is all the commotion?
Ah, well...
She killed Zhao Lei and Hei Yao?!
Th-Those are the enemy's Great General and Vice General, aren't they?
Since then, I went to the battlefield with her countless times
and when I did, I learned the strength of the girl called Liao.
Old man!
Old man, take the left!
Y-Young Lord!
Who's an old man?!
Let's go! To the left!
Ah, yes, sir!
In both military force and in strategy
Liao was truly a war prodigy.
And...
Our king, feared throughout the states as God of War,
loves war so much he sometimes visits the front lines...
He's been leaving the royal palace to go to campaigns quite often.
That is quite reassuring.
Yes.
But while men are fighting on the outside, there are conflicts going on behind the scenes as well...
In the inner palace.
As Wang Qi said, at that time, the inner palace was particularly turbulent.
Bloody conflict over the heir to the throne was unending.
King Zhao's tendency to leave the palace only spurred that on.
And remarkably, among such circumstances, a beautiful palace girl that the king had taken favor to
was carrying a child.
But that woman was from a low-class warrior family.
In the inner palace, she could not expect anyone to support her
and she was wholly unable to protect her child.
So, she...
I'm sorry... I'm so sorry...
This is my only... choice...
I'm sorry...
Please... Grow up in good health...
Liao...
Liao's mother entrusted her child to a place where it would be safe.
A place far away from the royal palace
and with people who would understand the circumstances she was in...
In other words, she was brought to Wang Qi's residence.
Liao's mother the daughter of one of Wang Qi's father's comrade in arms.
Though because adopting a daughter so suddenly would draw attention, she was taken in as a servant.
I can't believe that Six General Liao was King Zhao's daughter...
Did King Zhao and Liao know that fact?
Of course, they did not know...
However...
The king is coming!
Hurry, get in line!
Don't just stand there!
One day, King Zhao showed himself at the battlefield.
It was to thank the Wang Qi Army for leading them to victory in the battle at Nanan.
Just what I've come to expect from you, Wang Qi, my treasured sword!
This land of Nanan was an unassailable land that we could not obtain for many long years.
You have truly outdone yourself!
I humbly thank you for the kind words.
What's wrong, Liao?
Ah, nothing.
Speaking of which, Wang Qi, where is that person?
They were quite active in this campaign as well, weren't they?
Your close aide, the woman soldier, Liao.
I've been hearing that name quite a bit lately.
Where might she be?
Liao, come forward.
Y-Yes, sir!
Liao... How old are you?
S-Sixteen, sir.
I see... I see...
You've fought hard.
Liao... Just like Wang Qi...
you are my treasure.
As, of course, are all of you!
When you return, you will have a great reward waiting!
Wang Qi.
Yes, sir?
I have something to talk to you about later.
Yes, sir.
And after that, Liao started wearing a mask on the battlefield.
The reason for the change in appearance
was that she wanted to hide the fact that she was a woman before her name was known throughout the states.
But for Liao, telling her lineage was something she could not do.
And not long before that, Liao was formally made a general.
Liao, do you have a moment?
Is that you, old man? Come in.
Who's an old man?
Are you doing all right?
Yes, finally. I've gotten my emotions in order.
I'm not angry nor sad.
I mean, I may be killed at any time, after all.
I'm grateful I'm just able to live this way.
Yeah, that's a lie.
To be honest, I'm incredibly sad.
Did you hear everything from Wang Qi, old man?
Yes.
I see!
You really got the short end of the stick.
No wonder you can't get any success in life.
Cut it out!
You're a woman.
It would be a big loss for the army,
but you also have the choice putting down your sword here.
That would be getting the cart before the horse.
If I put down my sword, what would I have left?
It's not like I could become a princess.
I'm just the daughter of a servant.
I can't put down my sword.
But what do you plan to do by continuing to fight?
Become the greatest general under the heavens!
What?!
It's my reason for fighting.
It's a really silly promise I made when I was a child.
Lord Wang Qi!
When you become the greatest general under the heavens, will you capture lots of castles?
Yes, I suppose.
Then I'm going to become a Great General, too!
And when I've captured 100 castles, please let me be your wife, Lord Wang Qi!
All right.
He didn't say anything like "That's ridiculous!"
because when I was a child I was really serious.
And I still am now.
My place is here, the battlefield, old man.
I have lots of comrades here as well.
And now, my father will be watching me as well.
I'm going to do it!
Flag : Liao
With her severe fighting style of never relenting in her attack until the enemy was destroyed,
Liao continues to gain victories.
Soon after she became a general, her strength was said to rival that of the Five Great Generals.
And finally, Liao was named as the sixth Great General.
Then, not long after Liao became a Great General...
It-It's Lord Wang Qi!
General Wang Qi!
Lord Changwenjun is coming as well!
We're coming in.
It's been quite a while.
Liao-
L-Lord Wang Qi!
U-Um...
I'll do that myself...
Didn't I always use to treat your wounds like this?
When are you talking about?!
I'm not a child anymore!
It really has been quite a while, hasn't it, Liao...?
Unlike someone I could mention, you've gained great success, and with that, you do not have much freedom.
Yes.
There.
U-Um, Lord Wang Qi...
No, never mind...
By the way, why did you come to see me?
I just came all this way because I wanted to see you again after so long.
No, just kidding. It's about the next war.
The next war?
For the next war, the siege of Mayang,
it's been decided that my forces and yours would form a coalition.
You and I, Lord Wang Qi?!
For now, my army will be participating as well, though.
I will be the vice general and you will be the Great General, Liao.
We're finally at the last one, aren't we?
Last one?
What?
What's wrong, Liao?
He remembered.
And even after how many...
You don't mean...
And when I've captured 100 castles, please let me be your wife, Lord Wang Qi!
All right.
That's right...
This next castle at Mayang will be the 100th.
But on the night before the siege of Mayang, that man appeared.
That man that is like a disaster in the form of a human...
What's going on? General Wang Qi... isn't moving...
Wh-What is this?!
This is it!
This is what I came here to fight.
This which I lost to 9 years ago...
Pang Nuan. Even I do not know what it is that man wished to do.
He cut through soldiers at their campsite and attacked Liao.
Like he was merely seeking strength...
Lord Liao!
General Liao!
Lord Liao!
General Liao!
Lord Liao!
There can be only one on earth that the heavens fear.
Me and me alone.
General Wang Qi!
There was another?!
What is this man's strength?!
Fire!
Why...
Why did I lose...?
Is it because of the wounds I suffered from that woman?
No... The wounds were of no relevance.
That man was stronger...
My might could not reach him!
My fighting strength!
Come, Wang Qi!
I have come here to crush you!
Pang Nuan, too!
General Wang Qi is going now, too!
Lord Pang Nuan!
General Wang Qi!
It took three years before my body returned to normal
and then I underwent six years of training in the mountains.
Then a man named Li Mu appeared.
The reason I went along with it was because of my extreme self-confidence
that this man does not even come close to me.
Confidence in an extreme level of military might that almost no human can reach.
Yet, why...
Why is repelling this man's blade so impossible...?
And why is mine so heavy?!
Where did this man get such power?!
It seems you do not understand, Pang Nuan.
Being a military commander is a dangerous thing.
Since age 13, I ran through a countless number of battlefields.
I lost some tens of thousands of comrades in arms and interred some hundreds of thousands of enemies.
Their thoughts and feelings disappeared with their flames of life,
but they all still dwell heavily on these shoulders.
And of course, so do the feelings of Liao!
Someone like you who secluded themselves in the mountains cannot understand that, yes?
The feelings of the dead are on his shoulders?
That's right. That's why we get stronger
and why the generals, that have gone through that so much, are so strong.
Worthless banter.
No matter the era, you all are under the same misapprehension.
Succeeding the feelings of the dead is nothing but a selfish delusion of those that survive.
When people die, they turn to lumps of earth.
The losers fall to earth and the victors get closer to heaven.
That is all that exists!
Pang Nuan...
It seems that to the very end, we will not see eye to eye.
Of course!
The woman Wang Qi loved, Liao.
And the man that killed him, Pang Nuan.
Because such a connection existed, the Zhao Army placed Pang Nuan as their Supreme Commander
in order to lure Wang Qi onto the battlefield...
My king?
No... It can't be...
This battle that's spanned for five days...
All of it was to take General Wang Qi's life?
Defeating the Great General in order to reach victory is a basic truth of war.
No, that's not what I mean.
This war takes on a stranger form.
They are not trying to kill Wang Qi in order to obtain victory.
Their primary goal is Wang Qi's head.
That is why they are fighting.
Could that be...?
It sounds far-fetched at first,
but seeing as the one who established the plan so far has been that man, Li Mu...
They broke through!
The third formation has collapsed!
What is that man?!
H-How can this be...?
He was this much of a monster?
That Wang Qi was hiding this?!
I am faster and my strength is higher as well.
In terms of technique, it's incomparable.
General Wang Qi!
Yet why can I not cut him down?!
If you want to know why you lost,
have Liao tell you in the next world!
Go!
Wh-What happened, General Wang Qi?
Why?!
Wait.
I've felt it for a while, what is this rumbling in the ground?
Wang Qi... Just what level of trap are you now entwined in?
But... Don't die, Wang Qi!
You're early... Very much so...
Xin. Change Wang Qi's fate!
