Yin was ruled by 31 kings, but as King Ju, the last king of Yin, tyrannized over the people, Hui-bal, the son of Seo-baek-jae-hu Hui-chang, raised Dong-beol Army and destroyed Yin. However, Mu-gyeong who was a descendent of King Ju revolted against Zhou. Yin was reestablished after fierce battles and is now as powerful as Zhou.
Zhou
Zhou is a new country that became a new power in the continent after overthrowing Yin. After King Mun, the founder of Zhou, mustered lords of the same mind and had a big meeting in Maeng-jin, he destroyed the Yin armies that were several times stronger than his armies in Mok-ya. The policy of King Mu, who tried to embrace the migrants from Yin, ended in a failure because of a revolt led by his three brothers and Mu-gyeong, a descendent of King Ju.
