After the triumphant Sanyou operation, Qin forces—led by 1,000‑man commander Xin—draw nearer to King Ying Zheng"s ambition of national unification. With a substantial foothold now secured in Wei, the Qin court turns its gaze east toward the remaining rival states. At the same time, Li Mu—an unrivaled tactician and Zhao"s newly named chief minister—leverages the brief truce with Qin to engage other kingdoms uninterrupted. Suddenly, Ying Zheng learns that armies from Chu, Zhao, Wei, Han, Yan, and Qi have entered Qin lands. Realizing too late that Li Mu"s ceasefire was a ruse, Zheng hastily convenes his counselors to craft a response against the six‑state alliance at its doorstep. For the first time ever, Qin confronts total annihilation and must marshal all available means to avoid being erased from history. The Qin emperor, determined to secure his legacy, orders the mobilization of all remaining troops and fortifies strategic positions along the borders. He also summons renowned generals to devise a coordinated defense strategy against the looming threat.
