### Summary
The arc opens with the Hi Shin Unit dispatched to crush an alleged rebellion led by Prince Sei Kyou, only to discover it is a venomous conspiracy orchestrated by Chancellor Ryo Fui. Their mission shatters and reforms: from quelling a rebellion to saving its framed victim. This high-stakes political gambit immediately becomes a crucible for Qin’s next generation, as the brilliant Ouhon unveils a strategic masterstroke that completely outmaneuvers the Hi Shin Unit’s strategist, Karyo Ten, forcing a humbled Xin to rely on his raw instincts to keep his unit from being left behind. As the young commanders vie for supremacy, the full horror of the conspiracy unfolds. While Ouhon defeats Sei Kyou’s despairing general and rejects a tempting offer to join Ryo Fui’s camp, the prince is cornered within the city of Tunliu, not by an invading army, but by a devastating betrayal from within his own ranks. Despite the Hi Shin Unit’s desperate efforts to save him, Prince Sei Kyou dies a redeemed man. His noble sacrifice becomes the final catalyst, igniting an all-out political war between King Ei Sei’s faction and the Chancellor’s overwhelming forces for the ultimate control of Qin.
