Can the seizure of Gyou—once called reckless—actually succeed? The Qin–Zhao allied war reaches its conclusion. Having won the long, grueling fight on the Plain of Zhuhai, the Qin army marches into Gyou, the fortress said to be impregnable. But the price of victory is steep: the Qin soldiers inside the walls soon face a dire food shortage. A supply corps is rushed out from the capital Kanyou, yet the Zhao army holds firm at the border chokepoint of Retsubi, and the supply line refuses to open. As the tug-of-war drags on, the very Gyou they had captured is about to be swallowed by savage famine. Can supreme commander Ou Sen find the move to break the deadlock? A volume that tests a strategist's true worth even in victory.

Kingdom Vol. 59 spoilers
⚠️ Spoilers ahead.
The Qin march into Gyou, but taking the city plunges them into a dire food shortage—victory itself turns into a new crisis. The supply corps from Kanyou is blocked by the Zhao at the border of Retsubi, and the supply line will not open. As famine grinds down soldiers and townsfolk alike, Ou Sen coldly reads the situation and exhausts every option in search of the move that will secure Gyou. At a horrific cost, the Qin at last take Gyou fully into their grasp, and the long Qin–Zhao allied war comes to a close. Yet it leaves behind the memory of famine and the new burden of occupation, and the story turns toward its next phase—a closing volume that presses both the sweetness and the bitterness of victory upon the reader.
