An epic historical anime saga that is set in the Era of China's Warring States. It follows the story of a young boy who grew up to be a great war general, alongside many other characters based on real historical figures.
Xin and Piao, two slaves who have grown as sword training buddies with a common dream of growing up to be great generals.
Xin, who's learned that Piao died serving as Zheng's stand-in, must decide which to help and which to kill.
Xin and Zheng, the King, entrust their escape to young Diao, who knows a secret way out of Heibei Village.
Fleeing pursuit, Zheng and Xin struggle with exhaustion, and with each other.
Xin, who's vowed in the name of his own ambitions to help the King, must single-handedly face the treacherous assassin Mu Ta.
Xin hears a tale of Piao's heroism during Wang Yi's ambush, but he also learns that King Zheng has even fewer allies than he'd been told.
Xin sets out into the western mountains with Zheng and his handful of soldiers, seeking the aid of the mountain king.
In the stronghold of the mountain folk, Zheng treats with their king, who seems determined to kill the young King of Qin in retribution for longstanding grudges.
Zheng and Xin return to where Lord Changwen waits. They make ready to ride to the capital, but they'll need remarkable strategy to overcome the terrible odds.
Zheng, Xin, and their companions arrive at the gates of Xianyang, capital of the Qin Kingdom, with a force far too small to assault such a great fortress.
Blocked by Wei Xing's elite crossbowmen, the forces of Zheng and the mountain folk split up.
Xin, Bi, and the breakaway force, fighting to reach the throne room, face the seemingly invincible Zuo Ci in the "Right-Side Dragon" corridor.
The breakaway force reaches the Throne Room, only to find the traitor Cheng Jiao guarded by his monstrous "pet," who's seemingly impervious to weapons.
His companions battered, Xin must rise to face the monstrous Lan Kai; in doing so he learns something of the true nature of the sword.
A face-off with Jiao Cheng awaits, but before Zheng Ying, must convince the "Strange Bird" that he is worthy successor to his great-grandfather.
The recalcitrant and powerful Lü Buwei finally makes his appearance, accompanied by his more-than-formidable "Four Pillars".
Xin's first true campaign as a soldier comes at last, but when Wei makes a surprise move, the battle doesn't go as he expected.
The battle heats up as Wei's forces bring out their trump card. This isn't going to be a fair fight--but luckily, Xin isn't looking for one.
The Fourth Army's victory against the chariots gives Lord Biao an idea. How far can he push behind enemy lines if the infantry's survival is no object?
Just when it seems the battle on the She Gan Plain is finally going their way, Qin's forces are suddenly surprised by the advent of three generals: their own, the enemy's.
Xin has his very first conversation with a true general, and Wu Qing of Wei and Lord Biao of Qin are finally batting each other in earnest.
Lord Biao and Wu Qing are both fighting all-out, and whoever wins this one-on-one battle also wins the war.
Xin learns some things about Qiang Lei's past, and Diao has to make an important decision about the future.
When Xin approaches Wang Yi looking for a mentor to make him stronger, he discovers that the great general doesn't make things easy.
Just as Qin is successfully waging war with one of its neighboring kingdoms, Han, another neighbor makes its own attack against Qin.
Xin and his comrades march into battle together again, this time under the command of the great general Wang Yi.
The battle against Zhao is underway, and both sides have tricks up their sleeves.
The Fei Xin Force is up against a brilliant tactician in their very first mission. Xin and his men may be good, but is Feng Ji better?
Xin has his first taste of fame, and Wu Meng is back to leading the Qin offensive.
Wang Yi smells something fishy about Zhao's sudden retreat, but his endgame remains the same: find and kill Nuan Pang.
Nuan Pang is still unleashing the wrath of the gods on all around him, and at this point he seems almost untouchable.
The Fei Xin Force scatters, running deep into the mountains with Wan Ji in hot pursuit.
The original 100-man Fei Xin Force is down to 36 men, and Zhao's generals are closing in.
King Zheng Ying receives some disturbing news about Zhao's forces, and the war begins to take a new turn.
Wang Yi and Nuan Pang begin their showdown at last. Meanwhile, Lord Changwen tells Zheng the truth about Liao.
Nine years ago, Wang Yi, Lord Changwen, and Liao shared a secret with the King that altered the course of one woman's life and death.
The plot to slay Wang Yi takes a turn no one was expecting.
As the war between Qin and Zhao comes to an end, the Middle Kingdom witnesses the dawn of a new era.
