A large army is gathered in the royal capital of Xianyang in preparation for an all-out battle against the Zhao army led by Li Mu. The commander-in-chief, Changping Jun, announces that the battle will be an allied battle between Kanki, Yang Duanhe, and Wang Jian, and announces the "commander-in-chief" of the entire army. Meanwhile, upon receiving news that the Qin army has begun its invasion, Li Mu orders the army to assemble at the castle on the western front line to counter the attack.
