The point of this war is not obtaining victory by killing Wang Qi.
Their primary goal is Wang Qi's head.
That is why they are fighting.
But...
Don't die, Wang Qi.
My king...
I have fought alongside Wang Qi in many battlefields.
His strength knows no end.
Wang Qi, the Mystery Bird of Qin,
will not be defeated by a something such as this.
I think so as well.
But if...
If?
If...
the man known as Li Mu is an even more remarkable man than Wang Qi,
then the circumstances will be different...
Unthinkable... Such a thing could not...
That's why it's just a supposition.
I believe in Wang Qi's strength.
But Xin... if something does happen, protect Wang Qi...
I still need Wang Qi.
I'm counting on you... Xin...
It's a new enemy...
Lord Xin, what in the world is this...?
It's a trap...!
It seems the enemy moved faster than I predicted.
Wang Qi's prediction was that it would take another half a day before the Li Mu Army would arrive.
And in fact, the Li Mu Army was indeed hidden in the place that Wang Qi had predicted.
So why was it that the Li Mu Army arrived so much sooner?
It was because of the characteristic of the State of Zhao's mounted soldiers that Li Mu led.
For them, whom had been positioned at the state's ancient and mountainous northern border, and fought equestrian tribes like the Xiongnu,
mountain valleys and such were no obstacle whatsoever.
Because of that, the Li Mu Army did not have to take a detour around the mountains,
and were able to hurry directly to the area of the decisive battle.
In other words, the Li Mu Army's speed
far surpassed that of what was generally known for usual mounted armies.
And Li Mu even judged that Wang Qi would misread the speed of his army's march.
This is because he had investigated that Wang Qi had never once personally fought with the armies of the northern region of Zhao.
And with Wang Qi having mainly only fought in the central region, he had of course never fought the Xiongnu either.
Wang Qi, whom had never witnessed the leg power of the northern mounted units,
whether it be the northern state of Zhao's or the Xiongnu's,
was not able to surmise that power.
When Wang Qi realized that fact, he let out a small bead of sweat for the first time.
Meanwhile, unable to swallow what was going on around them,
the Wang Qi Army merely watched in astonishment.
Raise the Great Deva Flag!
So the one that sprung this trap on me was one of the Three Great Devas?
There are about 40,000 new enemies
and my army has 6,000 remaining.
The enemy has sallied out quite a large challenge.
The setting is before the common era, in the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period.
Xin, the boy that came from obscurity to become the general of a Hundred-Man Unit,
is now at the center of a historic battle.
A one-on-one battle between the State of Qin Supreme Commander, Wang Qi,
and the State of Zhao Supreme Commander, Pang Nuan.
Gripped in that deeply personal battle
is the fate of a kingdom.

They are allies, yes?
Wh-Whose army is that?
I've never seen an army like that before.
Good...
Good job making it here in time.
Th-This is bad, Lord Xin.
As things stand, our army is going to lose!
Don't say that, Mr. Yuan!
But... What're you gonna do, General Wang Qi?
This is overkill.
All for just one enemy general...
We didn't even do something this elaborate against the Xiongnu.
"It's just one general", eh?
A young one like you, Kaine, doesn't know Wang Qi I suppose...
Capturing his head is worth more than 50 castles.
50?!
It is just as Lord Wei Jia says.
The head of a Great General that represents a kingdom
is a symbol of that kingdom's military affairs.
If they lose that, the State of Qin's military power will decrease.
And conversely, the State of Zhao's military power will become a threat to all of the states.
In this turbulent age, people do not gather in weak areas.
Losing military might means that talented people will keep away from them.
Retreating is connected to weakening a country.
Even if it's just one general,
the effects that head will bring about are immeasurable.
Especially if it's Wang Qi's head...
Li Mu Army, first formation, charge!
D-Don't be daunted! Take your positions!
G-General Wang Qi's soldiers are being beaten...
Is this... for real...?
It's practically already...
A one-sided massacre.
General Wang Qi...
Protect Lord!
Lord...
Even the foot soldiers, like Xin's group sensed,
that they had fallen for the enemy's strategy and defeat before their eyes.
For Wang Qi that could read further ahead, it was all the more so...
But...
Wang Qi laughed!
Well done. I don't know who you are, but you've completely outdone me.
I think it's been about 20 years since I was thrown into this deadly a situation.
It's been so long since I've felt this feeling.
For the first time in so very long
my blood is seething.
While retreating, search for an opening in the enemy to tear apart.
Xuan Wei, Zhou Yang, take the rear!
Yes, sir!
Hu Wan Brothers, create a base point behind the left wing of the Zhao Zhuang Army.
Yes, sir!
L-Lord Xin!
Yeah, he's not giving up.
Our general still hasn't given up!
Let's go, too!
Pang Nuan!
Where are you going, Wang Qi?
We have yet to reach a conclusion.
Wh-What is this intimidating air?
I've never felt something this incredible!
Pang Nuan's military might is definitely strong,
but as Wang Qi is now, he is going far above that!
Th-This is the Mystery Bird of Qin...?
Wang Qi, now!
Protect Lord!
Separate Pang Nuan from Lord!
Protect Lord Pang Nuan!
Kill Wang Qi!
It's no longer anything like a one-on-one fight.
But until one falls, this war won't end!
I know that! But now...
If it's a war that won't end until one or the other dies...
I won't let you kill my general!
Be careful! There's a weird brat there.
First get hi-
In this situation where every moment is vital,
I've never had an obstacle as great as this...
It seems that I really will need for you to die here!
What's wrong? Your sword strokes are getting disordered.
So stubborn...
So we've been swallowed?
So the Mystery Bird finally falls to earth...?
I, Wei Jia, am so overjoyed that I'm getting goose bumps.
You don't look that happy.
The death of such a great man does not evoke just a simple emotion.
Right now, among all of the military generals across China,
there is no general hated by more people than Wang Qi.
Nor is there any general whose death is desired more than that of Wang Qi's.
Long ago, that man continuously crushed all of this enemies on every single battlefield.
With the way he would appear anywhere, as if he'd flown there and wreak havoc,
he at some point became called the "Mystery Bird of Qin".
The death of such a person
is the desire... no, the dream of all people across the states that are antagonistic towards Qin!
But at the same time,
that is also proof recognized by all that Wang Qi is a hero whose name will go down in China's history.
And that Wang Qi falls today.
The legendary member of the State of Qin's Six Great Generals, as well as the one rumored to be the strongest of them all, Wang Qi...
And do you know why that is, Kaine?
That is because...
That is because the man right here, Lord Li Mu, is a monster that even surpasses Wang Qi!
In this war-torn world, great men always appear.
They create those ages.
Bai Qi, Wang Qi, and the others of the State of Qin's Six Generals,
the Lian Po Generals, and the State of Zhao's Three Great Devas.
And now, a formerly great man will disappear,
and the curtain on a new age will rise.
By the power of nameless people...
One cannot keep their heart from trembling at such a place as this.
Now then, excuse me.
Where are you going?
On this grand stage that the whole nation has their eyes on,
I, Wei Jia, want to leave my mark if even only a little.
Even if it is for doing a dirty job.
No matter how it happened, Lord Pang Nuan is one of the Three Great Devas.
As we're going into a new age, I cannot allow him to lose his life here.
I greatly appreciate it.
Wang Qi!
I am truly at the verge of death.
Don't give up to the very end!
Got that?!
Xin.
A strange group is coming.
Keep moving forward without breaking the circle!
Don't leave too big of a gap!
I will now perform a great deed.
Do not let a single soldier get close to me.
Yes, sir!
He's heading toward General Wang Qi.
Is he going to go after the general?!
Most likely.
Like hell I'll let him.
A horse! Qiang Lei!
Feixin Unit, charge straight through!
Finally... This moment has finally come...
That living legend, Six General Wang Qi will sink to the earth.
That man, Wang Qi, that made all of China tremble!
In the battle where I fought as substitute Great General, Wang Qi will die.
I cannot help but laugh!
My only regret...
is that it would seem I will not be able to see his end with my own eyes.
I'll be going ahead and waiting for you, Wang Qi!
What?!
Pang Nuan's power!
He lost consciousness for moment and the fetters have been broken, have they?
As one who seeks military might, his entire self was captured by revenge.
Now that that has disappeared, Pang Nuan has returned to being a pure manifestation of military might.
Lord!
Honestly.
Opposing both a powerful strategist and warrior at once
is really quite a chore.
I have been thinking about various things in opposition to the strategist,
but there does not seem to be even one plan that I can enact now.
He's given up!
Wang Qi has just given up!
Then we'll be taking possession of that head!
No one said anything about giving up.
If I have no plan, it'll be a matter of strength.
I am announcing this to all soldiers of the Wang Qi Army that can hear!
The enemy's number is approximately 10 times ours!
So I am obligating 10 kills per man!
I will not forgive you for falling before killing 10 men!
Everyone, please become mere beasts and fight!
Understand?!
Now the Wang Qi Army will show its true worth!
With strength, we will wrench open a means of escape from being on the verge of death!
And I, Wang Qi, will always be at your back!
Out of the way!
Just a little...
Just a little further!
Stop that man!
He is one of China's Ten Bows, Wei Jia!
I won't let you die, General Wang Qi!
There's a kid coming in!
Zheng needs you!
Kill him! Don't let him get close to Lord Wei Jia!
And most of all, I haven't gotten what I promised with you!
Just as I expected of you, Pang Nuan.
But with that exhausted body...
you cannot defeat me.
Pang Nuan, now the curtain falls!
Lord!
His life was taken by Lord Pang Nuan's strike,
but what allowed it was none other than the arrow of I, Wei Jia.
I, Wei Jia!
Even if you are deprecated by people all across China, none can call you a coward, Wang Qi.
Fuck you, bastard!
A damper has been put on our fight.
That is why things such as war are uninteresting.
But this is your arena.
I will hear no complaints.
This is your defeat, Wang Qi.
They threw down their weapons.
Now it's over.
Let's slaughter all of the Qin sol-
Wait!
I am quite vexed you would allow defeat to be pushed upon you.
Even my subordinates must know of anger...
What are you doing dropping your weapons?
No matter what happens,
it has always been the Wang Qi Army's pride to never to give up, even in death.
Lord!
General Wang Qi...
Th-That's unsightly!
It is already obvious that all of you will die!
You death-dodging bastard!
I have long placed myself on battlefields,
and piled up many intense struggles for my life.
Perhaps for that reason, I somehow know
that this is still not the place of my death.
It seems you don't believe me...
Then allow me to prove it to you.
First, I will cut down Pang Nuan.
What is this?
A full general is...
like a Hundred-Man General or a Thousand-Man General.
They are only different names for positions and ranks.
But there are only a handful of humans that can reach that level.
It is a place that only those, that can overcome many points of death and render numerous achievements, can reach.
As a result, gaining the title of full general
is the immense honor of being responsible for and controlling thousands and tens of thousands of lives.
Therefore, that existence is heavy!
Therefore, it shines with a dazzling light!
Madness...
What are you...?
W-What in the world are you?!
Isn't it obvious?
The greatest general under the heavens!
