They need a reason to keep Zhao from being crushed right away. He was always left alive to be a complication.
I mean the ministers wanted to execute Sei’s mother.
And history said that after the Zhao lost 400K men at Changping they were never an offensive factor. Yet here we have the entire Kingdom manga where they are.
Also Han and Wei are captured before the Zhao lose half their territory.
At what point was zhao a legit offensive factor? As in: initiated a war, went on the offensive, and, scored a victory/took lands?
… if anything, what I learned by looking into this farther was: riboku retreated after defeating ouki in part bc he didnt have a choice. Seven warring kingdoms existing in a fine balance, the guys in the middle mustn’t overextend
what i meant is the event you’re talking about will happen soon. Zao still has half his territory but not for too long so everything needing to happen before, will happen.
I think that if Qin was unable to finish off Zhao in one fell swoop, it better leave it alone and focus its efforts elsewhere. Zhao right now is not a deterrent to Qin activities, so Qin can leave minimum needed defences and use the moment to attack another state.
Funny how Kaine being a cutey girl, despite she herself should be atleast 45++ years old. She already accompany Riboku against Xiongnu in 265 bc, and its already 235 bc.
So, I’m gonna point out how awesome kingdom is by breaking down mouten’s singular move/Half beat riposte
In their heads, swordfighters see circular paths, around which their upper bodies move to create strikes and blocks
If u imagine it perpendicular to the ground, at the top and bottom of the circle, the sword tip has almost no momentum and the swordsperson is choosing their next move, As the circular movement continues to the next strike or block- at the leftmost or rightmost part of the circle
Which is the left or right most if their body.
Moten’s move- he connects with a block (right side of circle, 90 degrees from apex) but, Instead of waiting until 180 degrees/ sword tip slows to make next move, at 135 degrees instead of 180) he cocks his arm like he’a throwing a right cross, propelling the blade forward, then bends his body so it flicks sideways, or upwards.
Its half a beat faster than the opponent expects or can respond to
He used it on a chu swordsman, who barely avoided the neck cut being fatal
He used it on bananji, but, bc bananji has a glaive, the range was limited so he had to settle for taking an eye. (The Side-slash version has less range )
First 🙂
Thanks for the chapter, Oshit + Sensescans
Didn’t expect to see Ryofui. Hate to see his ugly and smug face.

“Shiji records,” you big cynic. Fate, not plot
I am surprised they kept ryoufui alive…
It could only have been because, politically, killing him was more costly.

well, Zhao still have more than half their territory right now…
and they seem to be holding on to that
They are failing to hold their own ground, let alone take anyone else’s. That’s kind of the opposite
what i meant is the event you’re talking about will happen soon. Zao still has half his territory but not for too long so everything needing to happen before, will happen.
Ah, understood
I have no idea what happens next in the story, but, can’t wait! There will be at least one other kingdom involved for sure, Hara teased it…
Thank you very much!
Hell yes, Ryofui is one of the most interesting characters in the manga.
a really cute kaine, ryofui coming back (probably not for long tho) and plot progression. good chapter overall:)
thank you very much!
I may be alone on this but I fee like Ryofui is one of the most annoying characters in the manga.
Not just you mate, I also feel the same.

Fu** damn Ryofui confessed he’s sei father then commit suicide
Its “kingdom’s maybe out day(not)”
