| |
| − | Shi En kept his father's death under wraps and led the army into battle in his place.

| − |
| |
| − | The target was a mountainous country located to the east of the Castle of Mist. It was a castle that served as the enemy base.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Terrain analysis, troop size, and strategy— all of the above were calculated, and victory seemed assured.
| |

| |
| − | However...
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The enemy had seen right through Shi En and his advances.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Enemy troops in the trees on the mountainside all attacked Shi En and the Six Samurai.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The Six Samurai struggled to hold their own, but they faced an unexpectedly desperate battle.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | As enemy soldiers attacked with increasing vigor, Shi En finally ordered his troops to retreat.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | However, in that moment, there was a great disturbance in the line of command.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | After all, these were soldiers who had never lost a battle. The majority of them had no experience in retreating.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Moreover, the confusion caused by the surprise attack and receiving orders from a different commander made matters worse.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Morale was lowered as one by one, the soldiers were taken out. If this continues, they could be routed.

| |
| − | He then offered these words to Shi En.

| − |
| |
| − | "Our unit will serve as the rear guard. The main unit must survive and return to the country at any cost."
| |
| − |
| |
| − | He was the strongest man among the Six Samurai. Reserved, but also the warrior Shi En's late father trusted the most.

| − | Shi En saw the determination in Shinai's eyes, and once again, he ordered the entire army to retreat.
| |
