The dust settles over Han, but the political and military tremors within Qin are just beginning. As the narrative of Kingdom pushes forward, fans are buzzing with anticipation for Kingdom Chapter 844, which promises a pivotal meeting that could reshape the very foundations of Qin’s military might. With the first state now conquered, what future awaits our heroes, and what drastic changes might be on the horizon for the legendary Six Great Generals?
Chapter 843 Recap: Law, Survival, and a Crucial Summons
Kingdom Chapter 843, “A Great State Under the Rule of Law,” kicked off with the astonishing survival of General Tou after a seemingly fatal fall. Scolding from Rokuomi was met with Tou’s nonchalant declaration that this was simply “the power of one of the Six Great Generals.” The immediate concern for Tou, Ri Shin, Kyoukai, Karyoten, Rokuomi, Ryuukoku, and Kanou quickly shifted to the precarious fate of Han’s royal family. Despite the potential for execution by Qin officials, Tou vehemently asserted he would not allow it.
Their worries were swiftly addressed by the arrival of a high-ranking delegation from Kanyou, including Shouheikun and Ri Shi. The Qin court, initially divided on the royal family’s execution, saw King Ei Sei side with Shouheikun, who argued against it to prevent further resistance from other states. Ri Shi then delivered a powerful address on the supremacy of law, emphasizing unity under a single legal system for the forging of a great nation, seemingly calling out the “amateurs” and proclaiming law as the true leader.
The chapter concluded with a significant moment: Shouheikun praised General Tou’s invaluable contributions to the Han campaign. More intriguingly, Tou then requested that Ri Shin and the others be summoned, stating he had something important to tell them, setting the stage for the dramatic events expected in Kingdom Chapter 844:Tou’s Grand Announcement.
What’s Next? Predictions & Theories
The final panel of Chapter 843 has sent the Kingdom fandom into overdrive, prompting widespread speculation about General Tou’s impending announcement. The most prominent theory for Kingdom Chapter 844 is that Tou might declare his retirement from the military. This move, hinted at by his compassionate act of saving the princess in Chapter 842, would open up a highly coveted spot among the Six Great Generals.
If Tou does indeed retire, it would create an unprecedented opportunity for the “new generation” generals: Ri Shin, Mouten, and Ouhon. Many fans believe they are now ready to fill these prestigious roles, having proven their mettle in various campaigns, including Shin’s defeat of Hakio and the critical actions taken in Nanyou and Shinte. A potential scenario could see Tou vouching for their promotion to Shouheikun, a symbolic passing of the torch.
However, some fans are skeptical of Tou’s retirement, arguing that he wouldn’t intentionally weaken Qin’s military before the new generation is fully seasoned for the immense challenges ahead. They hope to see Tou continue to participate in crucial battles, perhaps against formidable foes like HoHouMei or Karin. Another intriguing, albeit less likely, prediction is a potential marriage between Tou and Princess Nei, though historical precedent and Ei Sei’s policy on conquered royal families make this a contentious idea.
The immediate “important thing to share” could also be a detailed account of the Nanyou campaign, explaining how it was taken without major conflict, with Shin’s contribution to befriending the locals being a highlight. The long-term implications, if Tou retires, would fast-track the grand unification war, potentially seeing Qin conquer Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yan, and Qi in rapid succession, mirroring history’s swift pace after the initial Han conquest.
What are your theories? Do you think Tou is about to retire, paving the way for the new generation to rise to the Six Great Generals? Or is he cooking up an entirely different strategy? Let us know in the comments!
