Recap of Kingdom Chapter 696
In chapter 696, we see the reactions of either side and the aftermath of the war.
- Kanyou’s men are shocked and in disbelief at hearing that the battle has been won when according to the report, there was a potential massacre taking place. But the messengers deny having brought false information.
- The initial disbelief turns into joy as they revel in their victory. Some of them express disdain for Kanki’s recklessness but the others interject stating that the only thing that matters is that they won.
- They express their confusion as to how Kanki won with his inferior numbers and conclude that the arrival of the Hi Shin unit played a major role in their success. They then turn their minds to the start of their offense on Bujou and Heiyou. After that, there would be nothing left to stop them from their main target, the Royal Capital of Kantan.
- A messenger relays the order from Kanki to the Hi Shin unit to pursue the retreating Zhao army headed towards Heiyou so that they don’t think about regrouping. Kyou Kai requests to stay back but Karyoten states that they might have trouble if her unit doesn’t tag along. Shin asks her if she has any injuries but Kyou Kai denies it, as she’s worried about something else.
- At Kanki’s camp, the Zhao prisoners are being led away to an unknown location. The soldier doesn’t know exactly where the prisoners are being taken but believes that they’re being let go little by little. He is curious as to why they’re being let go so soon when they might come back to kill them later.
- They lead the prisoners far away from the others as they can’t be freed too close to each other. They’re allowed to rest after the long walk, and are told to look down as they’re being given something to drink.
- The soldiers then chop off their heads simultaneously. This continues until only a few groups remain. They decide to kill the remaining captives then and there instead. Thus, a genocide of Zhao prisoners took place over all prisoner camps on the former battlefield. Rin Gyoku informs Marron that it was all over and Maron solemnly agrees.
- The horrible massacre and this battle unlike others where the numbers of the dead are lost in time gets recorded as such. In the thirteenth year of Ei Sei’s reign, Kanki attacks Heiyou, defeats Zhao general Kochou and decapitates One Hundred Thousand prisoners.
