Returning to the capital Teruhi and JinzaburĹŤ's group see the city the distance, in flames after an attack by the Mongols. They find some survivors led by Abiru YajirĹŤ who says that other survivors are scattered throughout the hills. Before they can devise a plan, they are detected by a small group of Mongol scouts and Teruhi fires arrows at them in frustration and anger. Amushi then sees a large force marching towards them, who are led by the Mongul Mingghan Commander, Uriyan Edei. As the survivors head for shelter at Aso Bay, an old woman inspires some soldiers to stop and fight a rearguard action along with the exiles. On the narrow trail, JinzaburĹŤ plans a strategic defense based on his fighting experience. JinzaburĹŤ tells Abiru of his time in Kamakura with Nagoe Tokaiki of the HĹŤjĹŤ clan who told him that playing shogi and war were the same, and to never lose sight of the big picture. He also learned that if you lay down your sword you can never win. Just then, the monguls attack with explosives and charge through the blinding smoke. However, the defending forces led by JinzaburĹŤ recover and decimate the attackers with arrows. Following this experience, Abiru finds newfound resolve and promises to support JinzaburĹŤ.
