you unbelievable bastard
speaking of this country`s governing power
I can`t believed I listen to you as much as I did
I could`ve made a mockery of myself
you must believe me
-You dont have a choice -Silence!
I will soon hear back from Pyongyang
you are running out of time!
Genera Yang Manchu will soon march to this fort.
Speak.
How do u intend to save the supreme commander?
I will give u the khitan army to use as your own
All one hundred thousand soldiers of khitan army?
Once u eliminated all of your opposition in pyongyang.
you can raise to supreme commander again.
Blasted basterd !!
-What are u trying to do? -Quiet!!
khitan army belongs to Tang.
you dare suggest I invite the tang to strike pyongyang?
You can accept the offer or sit and wait for death.
what do you have to gain by helping us?
khitan will have Yangzhou territory
-Yingzhou? -Thats right.
We had joined the Tang expedition agains Goguryeo.
because we were promised ownership of Yingzhou.
If you could accept my offer khitan will have yingzhou
and you will have Goguryeo
Goguryeo?
-I will have Goguryeon? -Yes
and if u desire,
-you could even rise to the thron. -silence!!
you want me to sell my country
to the enemy to justify my ambitions?
Tang will eventually conquer goguryeo.
-whether u live or die. -What?
you would have died for nothing if you let them kill u now.
I would rather die now
than invite the enemy to ruin my country!
don`t take your eyes off of him,
-he wil be executed. -yes,excellency
-any word from gom mojam? -no,excellency.
something must`ve gone wrong.
he should have been back by now
Excellency!Excellency!!
we just received word from pyongyang, and
What`s wrong?Why cant you speak/
its general gom mojam.
What are u waiting for?speak!
He was captured at the gates of pyongyang fort!
Captured?
Then is it that Namgron seize control of the city?
Yes,sire.
He joined hands with Bu Kiwon!
Namgeon...
my brother Namgeon has wrested control of the city from me?
Yes,Excellency...
Welcome,general gom..
how is my dear old brother?
What have you done?
I could`t stand by and watch
my brother destroying this state
You`re the one whos is destroying this state!
inciting internal divicion and
creating public confusion is treason1
Treason!!
I don`t believe in peace through strenght.
And history will judge me in the future.
Disband the private armies and release the warriors.
I will release the once I have assumed complete
authority of the supreme commander.
Until then,
you will need to be restrained as well
My Lord!!
-general, its joyoung -come in.
What brings you at this hour?
give me achance to try and persuade Lord Namseng.
Namseng tried to have you killed more then once
What`s more he is backed up against the wall right now
there is no thelling what he might do to you
He is my masters.
if I cant persuade him who can?
Departed Yeon gaesomun asked me
to look after him before he died.
I cant turn my bsck on him when he is all alone.
Give me a chance.
-Joyoung... -Please,general.
Sir,you`re drinking too fast.
I miss my fscolding father more than ever..
he would yell at me with his thunderous voice,
then quietly comfort me
I could hold back a lot of things,
but I could never hold my tears..
so many enemies
and I have no one to turn to for help
the supreme commander is second only to the king
I had no idea such exalted position
could be so lonely and vulnerable.
Excellency!
about the Tang spy.
-Perhaps u should rethink his offer -its not worth a thought!
I will not join hands with our biggest enemy!
Play the eney off of eacher other
use the Tang army to destroy
the villainous retainers in pyongyang
But Tang china was my fathers life long enemy
how am I soppose to face my father in the next world?
I`m not advising u to join hands with Tang.
I`m advising u to use Tang
until your power is restored
your late father killed King Yeongnyu
and hundreds of royal retainers
At the time people mocked him.
and called him a treasonous subject.
But he protected Goguryeo from
numerouse foreign invasions subsequent to that event.
and now he remain a hero in the hearts of the people.
The current government will never stad up to Tang.
and if we continue to stoop to Tang
Goguryeon will eventually crumble.
if u want peace prepare for war.
peace is achived through strenght.
Excellency,you can do this.
you must recapture our governing power at all cost.
That`s the only way to keep goguryeon from crumbling
Like the assassin said
we don`t have much time.
we must take action before General Yang Manchun does.
make a decision.
an opportunity like this will not come again.
-Heuk Sudol! -Yes,Excellency!
bring the prisoner from the cell.
The assassin?but why?
-just do as I say -Yes,Excellency.
Are u certain u can help me?
Are u certain u can get me
the khitan army in Lianodong?
Excellency,what are you trying to say?
Stay out of it.
Speak..
I assure u I can give u everytjing u need.
What do u want us to do?
Excellency,what are u trying to do?
are u going to invite the enemy?
I told u to stay out of it
-Leave us! -But,Excellency!
Didn`t u hear me?Leave!
I want to know in details of what u have in mine
Invite the enemy?
This is unthinkable!
From Ansi fort?
Excellency Messengers have arrived from Ansi Fort!
Excellency,
its Dae Joyoung and Gulsabiwu.
Dae Joyuong!
Where are they now?
They just entered the city gates.
-bring them to me at once! -yes,Excellency!
there is no time. Be on your way.
I shall leave now
How did it go?
Lets go!
I thought u would be in Pyongyang.
I escaped the city after much struggle.
Why did they send u here from Ansi Fort?
Please come withme to ansi fort.
did general yang manchu order u to arrest me?
I already know everything.
The King has ordered my capture.
general yang Manchu is
The only one u can turn to right now
-He`s eager to have me arrested. -No , you`re wrong.
the grand martial general is concerned about u.
there`s only one man who can save u in Goguryeo.
and thats general Yang
Defying the kings order is treason.
If General Yang plotting treason?
I assure u General Yang will protect u.
come with me to Ansi Fort.
How dare u!
I couldd see right throug your lies!
I won`t be fooled.
Sire, this is not a lie
U must believe me!
You fled Puongyang and
defied my order to protect my family.
How do u expect me to believe you?
Sire,I fled Pyongyang to save u.
You areat a critical juncture right now
Slightest missteo will cost you everything u have.
Silence!
take these two and lock them up at once!
Yes, Excellency take them
Sire,
General Yang Manchu is like a father to u.
you must never go up against him
-You must trust him! -Silence,I said!
How dare you bring my father into this!
what are u waiting for? Take them away!
Yes,Excellency!Take them away!
This is the only chance you`ve got.
If you make a mistake
-You will never rise to power again! -Get them out!
Sire,you must put your trust in General Yang!
-Take them away! -Sire.
Move it! Move it!
Don`t take your eyes off of them
What in heaven`s name!
Where`s the bastard that was in this cell?
His Excellency ordered him released
What?His Excellency ordered him released?
This can`t be happening!
so much for pursuading him to come with us..
I must persuade him no matter what.
Our fate is out of our hands now
we muust leave it up to heavens to see us through.
excellecy!
excellency,why did u release the assassin?
Does this mean you are joining forces with Tang?
-it`s not your concern -excellency,
are u going to invite the enemy into our land/
-I said it is not your concern! -excellency!
Li Kaigu will bringus good news soon.
-Excellency
Until then,
we have to stay here in Guknea Fort whatever it takes.
so dont take your eyes off of Dae joyoung and Gulsabiwa.
excellency,
I woul die for u anythime anywhere
It`s because I believe u are the true hero
That will destroy Tang and lead this country to the top!
But here you are tuning to the wretched enemyfor help!
Excellency,you mustn`t do thist!
Order me to bring bsck Lord Namgen`s head insted!
You musn`t.
You must never join hands with the enemy!
You don`t know what i`m trying to accomplish!
-Get out of here! -Excellency...
Didn`t u hear me?
Get out!Get out of here!!
-Excellendy -Get out!
Stand up straight.
You two look pathetic.
This is messed up This is really messed up.
If u want to drink,go somewhere else!
Shut up!
Why!!
You`re the kind that turns into a dog when you`re drunk!
I`m going to kill everyone that stands in my way
I`m going tp kill everyone that betrays Goguryeo!
What`s wrong?
You don`t need to know
We dont want to know.
so get the heck out of herre you drunk!
-What?Blasted basterd! -Tell us.
What happened?
I enlisted in the army When I was thirteen.
I couldn`t care less abput climbing the ranks.
the only thing I care about is fighting
the Tang chinese and defeating them
and getting revenge on the basterds.
That killed my family...!
But the man I trusted most hasbetrayed me..
What do u mean? Who betrayed u?
but i can take care of it.
That`s all i have to do.
Heuk Sudol,What are you talking about?
I`m going to kill him.
I`ll put a stop to it myself.
Hey,Heuk Sudol!Hey!
-His Excellency -He`s in bed.
I`m going to check in on him.
-Keep your eyes peeled -yes,Sir
What are u doing in her? Dont move!
Whats the commotion?
Sir, Shin is that you?
Excellency,these men just tried to take your life!
Thats absurd!
Whay did you sneak in here carrying a dagger
in the dark of the night?
I am his excellency supreme commander`s bodyguard.
Do you expect me to protect him with my finger?
sir,Shin,why did u enter my room with armed guards?
I saw him enter..
so I followed him in with suspicion..
suspicion?
Who is to guard the supreme commander in his sleeo
if I dont
Stop..
Its understandable
Excellency,
This mans actions have been very supicious tonight
Heuk Sudol is my most trusted man
He was doing his job
so let it goand make amends
I cant do it...
I just cant do it!
I tried, but this is just too big for me
I`ll let you go if you would help me
Lets go
What did you say? Li Kaigu is back?
-I bid you greetings,Khan. -welcome back!
General!
commander Li, I cant believe you`re alive.
You`re an amazing man!
where is chulin? Why isn`t she with you?
I have failed to protect the lady.
Forgive me..
you`re not saying shes ...
I will speak to you about chulin when we`re alone.
No!She can`t be!
Khan..
I shoul`ve been prepared for this
When she left for the assassin mission
I`m alright, general.
Khan...
Tell us What happened to Yeon Gaesomun?
There is a rumor that he is dead.
is it true?
Yes, Yeon Gaesomun is dead.
Yes,I knew it!
And his sons are now engaged in a violent political battle.
a poltical battle?
You mean there`s an internel strife?
Yes, General
His eldest son Namseng has requester our help
What?
want`s to joint hands with us?
-Yes. -General.
this is like having the fate of Goguryeo in our hands!
Tell us everything!
Whats happening in Goguryeo?
Blasted basterds!
what are you waiting for? Go out there and search the city!
-Yes sir! -move it!
Whats going on?
The broke out of the cell last night and escaped.
How could you not have known about this untill now?
I was out on patrole untill after dawn.
It`s all right sire
fortunately, they don`t know about our plans
(Ansi Fort)
Namseng is calling in Tang army?
Yes, General
collaborating with Tang istreason
I cannot sit idle knowing his intent.
Then are we to attack him at Guknae Fort?
There`s no other option!
General, I must ask you to be patient.
Patient?
Do you realize how serios this is?
Yes I do.
But we have Heuk Sudol helping from the inside
We can stop Lord Namseng
from making this mistake without taking up arms.
-Put your faith in us, general -Give us your permission, sir
(Anhak Palace,Pyongyang)
It`s been a weekssince the royal order was issude,
but general Yang Manchun has yet to arredt Namseng.
Your Majesty,
I bid you to issue another order
Noncompliance will be proof that at Yang Manchun
is also a treasonous offical who is support of Namseng.
General Yang Manchun would never defy the royal command
I`m sure there`s a reason for the delay,
so be patient.
Your Majesty, this has caused great public confusion
Capturing Yeon Namseng is
the only way to restore stability.
I understand...I understand...
-Your Grace, may I come in? -Enter
-Any news from Ansi Fort? -No, Your Grace...
How about captain Dae Joyoung?
did you hear anything about him?
Nothing your Grace.
General Yang assumed a great risk.
and accepted your proposal.
if you dont pull throught,
entire Liaodong could be accused of treason.
-Are you up to it? -I want to try, Father.
Be very carefull.
Yeon Namseng is not to be taken lightly.
I wont forget the, father
I must have a word with you.
A young woman came looking for you not long ago.
I didn`t know what your relationship was,
so I had her wait for you.
I`ll take you to hernow.
No, I cant see her right now
Please tell her to go back home for me.
She desperatly longing to see you.
No, Just sen her back. Please,
He says he cannot see you right now
you should just return home.
Well then
(Chang`an)
What?
Xue Rengui brought back Namseng`s letter of surrender?
it`s a request for our military assistance,Your Majesty
Yeon Gaesomun is dead
so his son Yeon Namseng is now
the supreme commander of goguryeo.
the head of goguryeo military has towered his head to us for help.
if this isn`t surrender what is?
General Xue has accomplished a monumental task!
A task that an army of one million had failed to accomplish!
that`s right,
we almost kiled the most faithful retainer
of all times with our own hands.
Isn`t that right,General Li jing?
So where is Xue rengui now?
He is staying at an inn outside the city.
Whatever do you mean?
The man who deserves the royal treatment
is staying at a humble inn?
have him enter the palace immediately.
Yes,Majesty
your Highness!
I can imagien how difficult things must have been for you away from home.
it`s you infinite virtue that kept me stron.
Now,tell me how you plan to collaborate.
with namseng to destroy Pyongyang fort.
Yes, your Highness.
there`s a trusted man name Li Kaigu in the Khitan tribe.
he will converge with yeon Namseng at Guknae Fort.
and march to Ogoi fort in the southern region of goguryeo.
-Ogo!Fort? -Yes,your Highness.
Once they have captured ogoi,
we will deploy our navy to Ogoi beach
I see, and?
If we secure our base at Ogoi Fort to form an alliance
with Namseng and launch our operation.
capturing Pyongyang will be a walk in the park!
I hope this man Namseng comes through for us
with Namseng in our hands,
goguryeo is already half ours Your Highness
yes I agree
At last you will deliver retribution
that we have long for
I could never have done anything
if it were not for your trust in me
General...
Sir,General Li Jing would like to see you
General Li Jing?
tell him I`m busy
But he`s right outside waiting for you
Why is he bothering me?
this goes to show how popular you are now
Popular?Yeah, right.
What do you think? Should I be nice?
Why not, sir.
It still makes my blood boil!
when I think about how he beat us up.
I cant still feel the pain!
Let`s see if he can still treat me like dirt.
What do you want to talk about?
I`d would like us to make amends.
Make amends? did you say make amends?
I never intended to cause you so much pain
Wipe away any hard feelings you have for me
I dont know
I`m such a petty small hearted man..
I know how you feel.
you must be so angry and resentful.
but if you can see if for a second from my shoes,
I`m sure you can find it in you heart to accept my apology
You`re the chief of Tang military.
Why the apology when it it won`t
hurt you any to just ignor me?
All of my comrades in arms hve passed away
Emperor Taizong,Zhang Wuji and even Pan Xiaotai...
I should`ve also died along time ago
But fate has kept me alive.
I`ve asked myself
Why am I still alive when even Yeon Gaesomun is dead?
and I finally know the answer.
it`s the will of heaven that I destroy Goguryeo!
But I can`t do this alone
that`s why I`m here
Help me just this once.
I`m a powerless man
how can I possibly help you?
I`m a veteran who has fight over one hundred battles.
All I nees is Xue Rengui`s ambitious spirit,
and I am certain that
I can bring Goguryeon down this time
Then I have a request as well
Go on.
I really intend to fight with everything I`ve got this time
and I want you to back me up in earnest and wholeheartedly.
Don`t be cheap like you`ve always been.
Give me your full support.
can you do that.
you have all of the power and authority that I do
This is it, general
I will lead the vanguard and
bring Goguryeo down once and for all!
Welcome back We`ve been waiting for you.
I must return to Yingzhou tonight after our talk.
I appreciate the trouble.
tell us. What would you like us to do?
I need you to move the troops in a few days,and
Wait!
Clear the room.
Huh? You want me to leave?
What are you waiting for? wait outside.
-Excellency, -wait outside.
Now, tell us
Over here!
What did you hear?
Well, I heard something, but...
What did they say?
Hurry up and tell me! What`s their plan?
''Ogol Fort''
-Ogol Fort? -yes, Ogol Fort.
That`s it?
I almost got myself killed getting that
Waht am I to do with..
just one word''Ogol Fort''?
Blasted basterd!
What? Blasted basterd?
Thats my line!
-Shut up! -You shut up!
they are planing something in Ogol Fort,
But we dont know what it is.
Ogol Fort?
Did you say Ogol Fort?
Do you know what it is?
That basterd Namseng...
He is going to betray this conttry!
General?
Namseng will betray Goguryeo!
