5. Chapter 696 Recap
The chapter begins with messengers from the battlefield reaching the Qin capital of Xianyang. The Emperor and the nobles are informed about Kanki’s resounding victory against the Zhao. It sounds too good to be true, defeating the Zhao without reinforcements and killing General Kochou too.
Some attribute this win to not only Kanki’s tactics but also the Hi Shin unit’s unwavering support. Emperor Ei Sei is informed that this win means they can start a campaign against the castles of Bujou and Heiyou.
After those two castles are conquered, there lies no more obstacles to the Qin conquering the royal capital of Kantan. News of Zhao’s defeat reaches Kantan and shocks everyone.
Ousen and Mou Ten stand at the battle HQ looking baffled. Maron asks Kanki if he plans to go through with it, hinting at something ominous.
The Hi Shin unit is informed that they need to pursue the retreating Zhao army towards Heiyou, meaning there’s no rest for them. Since they need to stop Zhao’s soldiers from regrouping, and it’s an order from one of the Six Greats, Shin decides to go with his soldiers except for the wounded ones.
Kyokai wants to remain with the wounded, but she isn’t injured, which puzzles Shin since she never backs away from a fight. The Hi Shin unit, in their pursuit, was going farther away from the Kanki army.
The Kanki army is seen taking small groups of soldiers in groups of twenty and making them circle the different parts of the previous battlefield to free them. The supervisors for these groups keep changing.
The Kanki soldier, who takes them in the end, asks them to lower their heads for a drink and slashes their head off. This takes place simultaneously in all prisoner camps. All of this is to make sure the soldiers don’t regroup after being freed.
