The Fei Xin Force is sent out to join forces with General Huan Yi to conquer Heiyong in Zhao, but their opponent--and the terrain--won't make it easy.

As the fighting gets underway in Heiyong, Qiang Lei's scouts make a disturbing discovery, Xin goes for broke, and Huan Yi brings out the big guns.

The outcome of the first day was calamitous for Qin's troops. Kan Ki's officers were surprised by the enemy's ingenuity, but escaped total annihilation. The first night in the dense Koku You forest is a heavy one for Xin and his men, but also for Heiyong and his men, who are totally isolated from the rest of their army.

Tactician He Liao Diao racks her brains to find some way out of an impossible situation so the Fei Xin Force can complete their mission-critical task.

Lieutenant Yuan and his men work hard to fulfill their vital role. A surprise appearance by a charismatic figure greatly affects the tides of battle.

He Liao Diao switches gears to share some hard-earned power with Huan Yi's forces--all the general has to do is take it. Qiang Lei's caretaker speaks.

Qiang Lei learns about Ji Hui's background. Frustration mounts in the face of Huan Yi's inaction. Qing She decides to take matters into his own hands.

The Battle of Heiyong reaches a fever pitch as Huan Yi's men target Qing She--who in turn is looking to slay Xin. Xin comes up with an audacious plan.

Qing She considers his debt to Li Mu as he faces Xin on the battlefield. Devastating events drive Ji Hui to pursue a new tactic in defending Heiyong.

Huan Yi's top commanders question his latest bizarre decision. Wei Ping has a crisis of conscience. Xin and Qiang Lei react to a gruesome discovery.

The standoff with Huan Yi continues until Wei Ping intervenes, but Xin learns a disappointing fact that paints his loyal friend in a whole new light.

General Huan Yi shows that his cutthroat reputation is well deserved as he tightens the screws on Ji Hui and forces him to make an agonizing decision.
