In 1046 BC, the Battle of Makino broke out. The leader of the Zhou people in the west, Ji Fa, King Wu of Zhou, took advantage of the fact that King Zhou of Shang led the imperial army to expedition to Huaiyi in the southeast, and the Shang capital Chaoge had no troops to defend it. Led the Western princes to join forces in the Mengjin Alliance, and struck with lightning the commercial capital that was empty of defenses──Chaoge! Shocked by the news of the Zhou army's attack, King Zhou was caught off guard and had to rush to Muye to fight. Finally, he burned himself to death in Lutai with hatred. The Shang Dynasty, which had been in existence for 600 years, perished - history seemed to have entered a new era of "Zhou Dynasty" in name only.
After the Battle of Makino, a tense atmosphere always prevailed between the Shang and Tuesday clans. The Shang clan, which retained part of their troops, retreated to the most powerful vassal state in the east, the "Yang Kingdom", to recuperate and wait for an opportunity to rebel. Wu Geng, the son of King Zhou, was besieged in Chaoge as a hostage. King Wu of Zhou nominally granted him a fiefdom and conferred him the title of Marquis of Yin, but in fact he sent his three younger brothers to surround Wu Geng and monitor him closely to prevent him from rebelling. Following the sudden death of King Wu due to illness, the Duke of Zhou who assisted the government was framed for usurping the throne and had to resign to clear his name, leaving the Zhou Dynasty without a leader and the current situation turbulent. The merchants wanted to take this opportunity to attack Haojing in order to restore the country. The war between Dongfang and Xiqi is clearly imminent. Not only that, a mysterious force is also ready to move in the dark.
