Summary
Ou Ki compliments the soldiers for setting up the new HQ. The Infantry is halfway through to their new location. Ou Ki says that there is no need for them to come here and is given a report about the current state of the battle. Ryuu Koku has chosen to accompany Mou Bu as they are chasing after the Zhao soldiers.
The other armies are proceeding to the mountains. Hou Ken has yet to make an appearance, and Ou Ki is reminded of his last encounter with him. Everyone is tense as then Bi Hei hears something and shouts Zhao soldiers but was a false alarm and the other members aren't happy about this. Ro En says that there is no need to be tense as a while ago, the bluestone tribe already split off into the thickets to scout for us. Seki, one of the new squad leaders of the Hi Shin Unit, talks with one of his soldiers as they sense a bad vibe coming from the forest and mountain.
At the strategist trainees, Ri Boku suggests relocating themselves to get a better viewpoint. However, the trainees are suspicious of them as they don't know them. The night falls and the Hi Shin Unit is camped in the mountains. Bi Hei tries to release the tension by stating that he is going to marry Tou Bi. Den Ei then asks Taku Kei on how many children he got as he responds with six. Shin sees that Kyou Kai is a bit down and starts talking to her.
She says that she doesn't have a place where she belongs or doesn't have a goal other than killing the Shiyuu she is looking for. Shin states that the Hi Shin Unit is her home. Kyou Kai then senses something and prepares to defend herself. It appears to be Hou Ken.
