(0:08:35.17 )
▶ Heki : Yes.
(0:08:36.61 )
▶ Heki : At the time, that State of Jin, which extended to the east of our State of Qin,
(0:08:37.87 )
▶ Heki : was undergoing a severe famine.
(0:08:41.63 )
▶ Heki : It was an enemy state, but to save the people suffering from hunger,
(0:08:44.72 )
▶ Heki : Duke Mu sent them food supplies.
(0:08:48.88 )
▶ Shin : Oh! I knew that Duke Mu would come through!
(0:08:50.93 )
▶ Heki : However, the next year, it was Qin that suffered from a massive famine.
(0:08:53.88 )
▶ Heki : When Duke Mu then sought aid,
(0:09:00.40 )
▶ Heki : Jin invaded our country.
(0:09:03.26 )
▶ Shin : Huh?! How the hell could they do that?!
(0:09:07.90 )
▶ Heki : This, of course, enraged Duke Mu as well,
(0:09:10.86 )
▶ Heki : and he sent in his own troops to fight them.
(0:09:13.94 )
▶ Heki : But with the lack of food supplies due to the famine,
(0:09:16.90 )
▶ Heki : our Qin soldiers lost strength,
(0:09:20.48 )

(0:09:24.71 )
▶ Shin : Oh no! That's really bad, Duke Mu!
(0:09:29.63 )
▶ Heki : It was truly a desperate situation.
(0:09:33.90 )
▶ Heki : But at that moment... they appeared!
(0:09:37.68 )
▶ Heki : The people we've traditionally called the "Majiu Soldiers"...
(0:09:43.50 )
▶ Heki : 300 Mountain People enveloped by a strange thirst for blood.
(0:09:48.09 )
▶ Shin : Mountain People?
(0:09:52.00 )
▶ Ten Karyou : Why?!
(0:09:53.21 )
▶ Heki : They had incurred a debt towards Duke Mu.
(0:09:54.44 )
▶ Heki : The debt of the horse and the liquor.
(0:09:57.69 )
▶ Shin : I get it. So that's why they're called the Majiu Soldiers!
(0:09:59.91 )
▶ Shin : So what's the deal? They really are incredible, then!
(0:10:03.16 )
▶ Heki : It's true that they have a profound sense of gratitude.
(0:10:06.41 )
▶ Heki : But...
(0:10:09.25 )
▶ Heki : the Majiu Soldiers' way of fighting...
(0:10:12.21 )
▶ Heki : was said to be so ferocious that it struck fear even into the Qin soldiers, their allies.
(0:10:13.89 )
▶ Heki : What's more, with just 300 people,
(0:10:22.22 )
▶ Heki : they drove out several thousand enemy soldiers.
(0:10:25.28 )
▶ Heki : After saving Duke Mu,
(0:10:27.24 )
▶ Heki : they captured the enemy king.
(0:10:29.50 )
▶ Heki : The Mountain People are a ferocious warrior tribe.
(0:10:36.46 )
▶ Heki : Even if they did protect Duke Mu's summer retreat,
(0:10:41.11 )
▶ Heki : to think that the people of Qin have the favor of the Mountain People is naive.
(0:10:44.22 )
▶ Heki : Far from it, since we unilaterally ceased interacting with them after the death of Duke Mu...
(0:10:50.12 )
▶ Heki : it would be more natural to think that they hate us.
(0:10:54.43 )
▶ Heki : Those are the kind of people whose world we're stepping into without permission.
(0:10:58.33 )
▶ Heki : Do you know what what will happen if we're seen as enemies?!
(0:11:03.73 )

▶ Changwenjun : It's not something he can do.
(0:12:34.47 )
