Shin rises from his lowly station to become the commander of a 300-man unit for Qin. Meanwhile, King Ei Sei engages in a power struggle with Ryo Fui.

Shin gets called to the palace when Ri Boku suddenly pays Ryo Fui an unexpected visit. As the meeting progresses, Ryo Fui makes a shocking statement.

A lavish banquet is held in celebration of the Qin-Zhao alliance; Shin’s blood boils at the sight of Ri Boku, the man responsible for Ou Ki’s death.

Shin leads his unit in a raid to kill the enemy general. But after breaking through the enemy lines, they find someone calmly awaiting their arrival.

Shin decides to carry out a reckless mission after tasting bitter defeat at the hands of Ou Hon; an unexpected figure brings up a plan at the palace.

Ei Sei heads to the inner palace to see his mother after she emerges as a player in the Qin power struggle with a single letter.

A young Ei Sei gets left behind in Zhao territory after the Battle of Changping. Years later, a merchant is tasked with smuggling the boy into Qin.

Ei Sei and the merchant must pass through five checkpoints in order to reach Qin. At the second checkpoint, an arrow flies into Sei’s hiding spot.

The merchant helps Ei Sei overcome his inner demons, but the Zhao are not far behind. One by one, their companions fall to the enemy attack.

Shin’s unit joins General Mou Gou’s army for the Qin invasion of Wei. Meanwhile, powerful men of the inner palace seek an audience with Sei.

Kou gets stabbed by a eunuch after witnessing a secret meeting between Sei’s mother and Ryo Fui. Meanwhile, Shin, Ou Hon and Mou Ten invade Wei.

Ei Sei takes action against his enemies after Kou tells him about his mother’s affair with Ryo Fui. Meanwhile, Qin struggles to overtake a fortress.

The Qin army captures Kourou Castle, but when Shin sees Qin soldiers assaulting Wei townspeople, he takes up the sword against his own companions.

The King of Wei orders the fearsome General Ren Pa to destroy the Qin army. As Ren Pa returns to the battlefield, Rin Ko begins to operate in secret.

Qin has captured three Wei fortresses, but Rin Ko manages to assassinate several Qin commanders. When he see Rin Ko, Shin does not hesitate to attack.

While Qin soldiers worry about the appearance of Ren Pa, General Mou Gou remains calm. That night, Mou Gou disguises himself as an old foot soldier.

While Ou Hon and Mou Ten are quickly promoted to the rank of thousand-man commander, Shin is only given a temporarily promotion.

Ren Pa and his four commanders prepare for battle as Mou Gou meets with Ou Sen and Kan Ki before his confrontation with his longtime enemy.

Qin’s hastily formed units get pushed back; Shin’s unit alone shows an unflinching thirst for battle as the second wave of attack starts to fall.

Shin charges toward the enemy stronghold as the Qin army gets picked off by Wei archers and war chariots in the confusion caused by Gen Bou’s tricks.

Mou Gou arrives before the Qin army after their crushing defeat against Gen Bou’s tactics. Meanwhile, Kan Ki engages in a battle against Kai Shi Bou.

Shin and Ou Hon wait for Mou Ten to give his signal after his unit charges into Rin Ko’s army; Rin Ko’s seasoned warriors put up quite a fight.

Shin and Ou Hon are given the signal to attack Rin Ko’s army, but Rin Ko’s ferocity leaves Ou Hon unable to counterattack; Shin is severely wounded.

Heki falls straight into Kyou En’s deadly trap as his army drives Kyou En’s army into what appears to be favorable terrain.

Inspired by the sight of the legendary Ren Pa, Wei soldiers force Ou Sen’s army to retreat. Meanwhile, Shin is forced to withdraw from his battle.

Shin gets upset when his unit is assigned to play a supporting role, but he learns that he is now more likely to come in conflict with Rin Ko.

When Ren Pa closes in on Mou Gou’s army from behind, Mou Gou calmly counterattacks with a formation he developed over his many years of experience.

Shin demonstrates his incredible mental fortitude during his fight with Rin Ko. Meanwhile, Ren Pa draws ever closer to Mou Gou’s position.

Rin Ko gets up after being cut down by Shin and says that he must win for Ren Pa. Meanwhile, a massive cavalry unit charges toward Kyou Kai.

Shin rushes to Mou Gou’s side after the end of the fierce battle; Ren Pa charges past the last obstacles that stand between him and his old foe.

Shin angrily interjects when Ren Pa insults Ou Ki during his encounter with Mou Gou; Kan Ki’s army launches a surprise attack against the enemy.

After Mou Gou accepts Ren Pa’s peace terms, Shin gets lectured on what it takes to become a great general. Kyou Kai sets off on a new journey.

Shin officially becomes a thousand-man commander at a royal ceremony; a new strategist joins Shin’s unit as they struggle to win without Kyou Kai.

Ka Ryo Ten joins Shin’s unit as their strategist. But while Shin respects her determination, he refuses to accept her military advice.

Ka Ryo Ten launches an attack which crushes the Wei vanguard after she realizes that she is being tested, but the Wei strategist makes the next move.

Zhang Tang and Huan Yi descend the wall and slip in among the Wei soldiers before heading toward the Han army camp in a bid to take down Cheng Hui.

While battling Wu Lu Duo's forces in the mountains, Wang Jian's army makes a surprising move. Given command of 5,000 troops, Xiang Yi charges at Teng.

Xin's unit and the citizen militia protect the south wall. Meanwhile, Qin general Bi defends the east wall with the remnants of Lord Biao's army.

As he duels with the nimble Fu Di, Xin recalls Qiang Lei's advice. That night, Li Mu's shouting army prevents the Qin soldiers from getting any sleep.

With Zui in peril, Lord Changwen insists that Ying Zheng must escape. Li Mu commands his army to capture the king before launching an all-out assault.

Zui's fate is averted thanks to the arrival of some unexpected aid from the mountains. Before Li Mu can give his army an order, Pang Nuan appears.

Despite his wounds, Xin manages to strike Pang Nuan, who can't hide his shock. Jin Chengchang appears before them with a command from Li Mu.

With the Yu Feng Force in danger of getting surrounded by the Wei army, Wang Ben rides forth to cross spears with the fearsome Fire Dragon Zi Bai.

On the third day of Qin's three-pronged attack, the Fei Xin Force clashes with Kai Meng's army but struggles to break through its front lines.

A determined but wounded Wang Ben engages Zi Bai in a rematch, ignoring the advice of one of his high-ranking commanders and refusing to retreat.
