【story】
Half a year after Shin regained the throne with the young king of Qin, Eisei. Suddenly, the neighboring country “Wei” crossed the border and started an invasion. Under the order of Eijing, Qin raised an army in the land of the decisive battle, the Jakan Plain, to subjugate Wei. In his first battle, Shin forms the weakest group (group of five) with Odaira and Oito, who are from the same town, Kei Sawa, an unreliable corporal, and Kouga, who has a sad look because of his childlike appearance. The commander-in-chief of Wei is General Wu Qing, a genius of war who excels in military strategy. The commander-in-chief of the Qin Dynasty was the reckless and reckless general General Kou. By the time Shin and his friends arrive on the battlefield, the war situation is at its worst. The Qin army was completely behind, but the commander of the corps, Baikoshin, issued a reckless assault order.
