With the Han arc wrapping up, the Qin’s next target, Zhao, is sparking serious debate among fans. Questions linger over military strategy and the uncertainty of Riboku’s future as he faces growing threats from Ousen.
Emerging discussions on forums indicate that Ousen is likely leveraging spies within Zhao's court to orchestrate the downfall of Riboku. This strategy may not only disrupt military hierarchies but could also create significant political upheaval. One contributor noted, "Ousen has no choice but to eliminate Riboku to ensure success."
Amid this chaos, implications are rising that natural disasters will hit Zhao, providing Qin with an opportune moment to invade. A fan remarked, "Natural disasters will serve as a signal for Qin's attack, escalatiing the situation further." This could create the perfect storm for conflict.
Riboku's Leadership: Many commentators believe Riboku's past failures and overreliance on loyalty hinder his military effectiveness. As one user pointed out, "Riboku suffers from self-doubt, impacting his decision-making."
Shibashou's Role at Risk: Without Riboku, Shibashou’s loyalty may falter, fueling concerns about his capacity to lead. Comments suggest that his retreat could cripple Zhao’s defenses. "He only fights because he trusts Riboku. His loss will be devastating," a fan commented.
Emerging Rebellion: The intense hatred between Zhao and Qin could ignite uprisings. People voiced apprehensions about potential rebellions, asking if historical grudges could spark conflict again. One user queried, "Will life in Zhao become unbearable leading to uprisings?"
Curious forecasts from fans point to a grim future for Zhao:
Possible Assassination: Some scenarios suggest that a direct attack on Riboku might leave him gravely injured, potentially leading to chaos in the court.
Inner Circle Defections: Several discussions highlight that Riboku's close followers, feeling disloyalty, may choose to flee or fight, depending on their allegiances following Riboku's downfall.
Civil Strife on the Horizon: Fans anticipate that Qin forces might execute Zhao officials perceived as corrupt, escalating tensions further. The sentiment shares a common thread: distrust runs deep.
△ Ousen’s spies are set to create game-changing advantages.
▽ Riboku’s possible assassination could dismantle Zhao’s military strength.
※ "Natural disasters could sway the tides favorably for Qin," a commenter warned.
As the narrative progresses, Ousen’s strategic maneuvers position him squarely against Riboku. Whether Zhao's internal conflict will lead to a civil collapse or ultimately a change in power dynamics remains to be seen. What remains clear is that all eyes are on the fragile state of Zhao and its impending fate.
