King's Dream
Death squad of Baekje!
We will achieve a victory.
Fight without fear!
Attack!
Retreat!
General!
Kill the leader, Gyebaek!
Do not let them enter the camp!
Do not panic. Battle formations!
Advance!
Help the iron soldiers!
Uncle, we should retreat.
We cannot retreat.
If we don't retreat, we could all be annihilated!
If you won't give the order, I will. Now!
Attack!
- Retreat! - Retreat!
Retreat!
Let them go.
Yusin was defeated?
I can't believe it.
There were 5,000 casualties.
How about sending 10,000 soldiers as reinforcements?
I can't.
The soldiers here have to fight Goguryeo.
If he can't defeat Gyebaek with 50,000, 10,000 more soldiers won't help.
I believe Yusin will overcome this and achieve a victory.
Your Majesty, if they don't reach Sabi today,
Su Dingfang will attack Baekje without waiting.
He will try to receive the king of Baekje's surrender.
If the king of Baekje surrenders, won't Baekje be conquered?
Is it so important who he surrenders to?
Please tell me.
If the king of Baekje surrenders to Tang, Baekje will become a colony of Tang.
Your father's lifelong dream to unify the Three Kingdoms will be lost.
He has to receive the king of Baekje's surrender.
Your mother is right.
Conquering a country like Baekje which has deep roots and great pride is
as difficult as establishing a new country.
The people of the Three Kingdoms want a peaceful life.
I will conquer Baekje and Goguryeo and unify the Three Kingdoms.
Yusin will not abandon your wishes written in blood.
Gyebaek defeated 50,000 soldiers with 5,000.
Why were you defeated by the Tang army?
I fought to the end, but general Boksin fell for Su Dingfang's ploy.
Why are you slandering a loyal general like Boksin?
You held a banquet and took your time getting to Baetgang.
Why are you lying?
Stop it!
The enemy is near and you're fighting now?
Right now, we have to join all our forces and defend Baekje.
If you are defeated again, you will lose your position as the crown prince.
I will protect you and Sabiseong with my life.
Please don't worry.
Uncle, are you upset because of one defeat?
The Baekje army suffered, too. We should reorganize and attack.
The morale of our soldiers hit bottom.
If we fight now, we will suffer a greater defeat.
We are supposed to meet Su Dingfang today.
After today, the command of the army goes to Su Dingfang and
the Tang emperor will receive surrender from the king of Baekje.
We will not be able to conquer Baekje.
We have to attack and break through Hwangsanbeol.
Our anxiety to be on time was a trap that led to defeat.
Gyebaek knows that.
We will be defeated every time we try to attack.
This doesn't sound like you.
How are the soldiers supposed to follow you as the commander?
That's a bit excessive.
Crown prince, our soldiers are afraid of Gyebaek and the Baekje soldiers right now.
No matter how great we are in number, if the soldiers aren't willing to fight,
you won't be able to defeat the Baekje army.
Then what are we to do?
Are we to be impressed with Gyebaek's strategies and
watch Su Dingfang take Sabiseong?
I will not give the order to attack until I am sure of a victory.
I will accept any punishment.
what?
Uncle!
He must have something in mind. We should wait.
All of you were so high in morale.
What happened to you? Tell me!
Write down today's victory as mine.
Don't forget about the military rations we took from them.
Those sacks were only full of sand and chaff.
His Majesty doesn't know that.
Just do as I say.
His Majesty will be happy.
That's right.
Kim Yusin can't pass Hwangsanbeol because you are here.
I will do as you say.
Did you want to see me?
The crown prince and Yung returned to Sabi.
I should return to the palace, too.
I'm sure you will defend Hwangsanbeol well.
I won't stop you from leaving,
but the soldiers will lose morale if everyone leaves.
I think the officials should remain.
You're right.
The jwapyeongs will stay and achieve merit.
Tang camp
Kim Yusin will never be able to make it here today.
I'd like to see his face when he hands over command of the Silla army.
Supreme commander, give the order to advance to Sabiseong right now.
We should receive the king of Baekje's surrender before they arrive.
There are 10,000 elite soldiers in Sabiseong.
Our soldiers are exhausted and we're not familiar with the geography.
We should get a few days of rest and watch their movement.
Whatever I do, I will take Sabiseong before the Silla army arrives.
The king of Silla sent a letter.
The king of Silla?
Let me make this clear
If the Tang army intends to take the Baekje palace without the Silla army,
I will take it as a betrayal of our alliance and cause.
If you try to ruin the alliance between Silla and Tang,
I will send the Silla soldiers to Sabiseong and order them to conquer Baekje.
If Tang and Silla have to fight in that process, you will have to take full responsibility.
I have an order from the emperor of Tang. The king of Silla dares to threaten me?
If our king gives the order to fight,
the loyal soldiers under Kim Yusin's command will fight.
So will I.
What?
You will resist me?
Please calm down.
The king of Silla only wants to prevent any unpleasant incidents.
He said he believed in your insight.
Tell him I understand.
I will receive the king of Baekje's surrender and slaughter the Silla army.
I will make that arrogant king kneel. I will cut off his head for this.
Kim Yusin was defeated today.
The Silla army won't be able to pass Hwangsanbeol in three days.
If we wait two days and attack, they shouldn't be able to say anything.
I will do that.
I will not forgive Kim Chunchu and Kim Yusin for insulting the Tang army.
I can't read Su Dingfang.
We stopped him from advancing right away,
but who knows when he will change his mind?
I'm worried that the commander can't get past Hwangsanbeol.
If reinforcements from Goguryeo arrive, it won't be easy to conquer Baekje.
Father isn't in full health and uncle was injured.
They are fighting to make this happen.
I will do whatever I can to stop Su Dingfang from conquering Baekje.
Yangdo, Yewon.
Go to Hwangsanbeol and help them.
I thought Kim Yusin would reorganize and attack again.
Why are they so quiet?
Kim Yusin achieved victories with unexpected strategies.
He could attack at any time.
We must not let our guard down.
Hwasi, why do you have such a dark expression?
I heard the prince is going to take credit for all the victories achieved here.
Are you upset about that?
Aren't you?
We're not here because we want to achieve merit.
We are here to defend Baekje.
Our loyalty and resolution impressed the heavens.
Nobody can take that.
We defeated an army led by Kim Yusin which is over ten times the side of ours.
We defeated them four times.
That alone will gain a high reputation among the people.
Isn't that enough?
I heard Gyebaek sacrificed his wife and children for a victory.
The women of Silla are praying for a victory with our blood.
Please achieve our great cause.
I trust you.
Why aren't you giving the order to attack?
His Majesty is waiting for you to join the Tang army and attack Sabiseong.
I'm frustrated, too.
But uncle will not give the order to attack.
We have to wait.
The morale of our soldiers will drop while the Baekje soldiers' spirits rise.
The Baekje army will win.
We can't grab a soldier each and die together.
Yusin seems to have a plan to defeat Gyebaek.
He won't say, so it's frustrating.
Is he waiting for Samgwang to send a secret message?
We're not attacking.
What's the use of a secret message?
Crown prince!
There is something I have to tell you.
What is it?
I heard the commander drank and partied as the Amnyangju lord until
the soldiers and people begged him to fight.
This situation is no different.
You're right.
He did that before he fought to recover Daeyaseong.
He doesn't want to give an order to attack to soldiers who lost the will to fight.
He is waiting for someone to raise their morale.
Me and the Hwarangs will take the lead and raise their morale.
Please let us fight.
I can't do that.
Even the iron soldiers were defeated. How will you be able to fight them?
We might not be able to kill Gyebaek, but if we can raise the morale of our soldiers,
we will be fulfilling our duties as Hwarangdo.
Please consider our loyalty.
Uncle!
If I want to send young Hwarangs, will you give the order to attack?
If we send those young Hwarangs, will we be able to defeat the Baekje army?
Is that your intention?
We cannot defeat Gyebaek's army with our morale.
Gyebaek killed his wife and children.
His resolve is allowing the Baekje soldiers to fight without fear.
Is this the only way?
Do those young Hwarangs have to die?
I cannot order those young Hwarangs to die.
You give the order.
Tell them to die bravely.
Even if they want to fight, Hwarangs aren't official soldiers.
The decision for them to fight has to be made by their fathers.
Crown prince!
The general of the right went to fight with his son.
Bangul, are you afraid?
I'm so afraid that I think my heart is going to burst.
But I'm a Hwarang.
I will give my life for the unification of the Three Kingdoms.
I'm proud of you. You are indeed my son.
You fulfilled your duties as a servant and as a son.
I'm proud of you.
I will get revenge for you.
Don't worry about anything and fight.
Please forgive me for going before you.
Be sure to unify the Three Kingdoms.
Who is that general coming alone?
I will fight him.
Go ahead.
He doesn't seem to be a general. He looks like a Hwarang.
Send his body to the Silla camp.
Yes, sir.
Bangul!
Yusin, my son is dead.
Your nephew is dead.
I will slaughter the Baekje army and get revenge for you.
Bangul gave his life for our cause.
You should praise his brave death. Why are you grieving?
Hwarangdo will fight until the last man remains standing.
We will defeat the Baekje army and achieve a victory.
Father, please allow me to fight.
Go ahead.
Show us the courage of Silla Hwarangs.
I am the commander of the left's son, Gwanchang.
As a Hwarang of Silla, I am here to kill the king of Baekje and
unify the Three Kingdoms.
Tyrant Uija's loyal dog, Gyebaek, will come out and fight!
How dare he?
Why is the Silla army sending young Hwarangs?
Kim Yusin is probably trying to raise the soldiers' morale.
Capture him.
Do not kill him. Capture him alive.
Yes, sir.
Do not kill him! Capture him alive!
Did you say your name is Gwanchang?
Did Kim Yusin send you?
Do not insult a Silla Hwarang.
I came at my own will to kill you because you are stopping us from advancing.
You are just a boy. You are high in spirit.
A 16-year-old is old enough to unify the Three Kingdoms and rule the world.
If you are a true general, let's fight!
You are too young to die without blossoming.
I will spare your life. Go and tell Kim Yusin.
If he wants my head, I will fight him any time.
Tell him to bring his sword.
- Send him back. - Yes, sir.
Gyebaek! Gyebaek!
Let go of me!
Gyebaek!
There he comes.
Why did you return alive?
Did you disgrace me by begging for mercy?
I did not want to return alive.
I will go back and kill him. I will bring back their flag.
You want to return to Sabiseong?
The prince returned to Sabiseong.
We should return and support His Majesty.
You can defend Hwangsanbeol without us.
That's right.
The Silla army is sending young Hwarangs.
Why are you only concerned about saving your own lives.
It's not that.
Anyone who leaves the camp will be killed.
Who wants to go to Sabi first?
Sangyeong? Chungsang?
If that's what you think, I will remain.
I will stay and fight, too.
You will both have to fight in the lead in the next battle.
That is the way to support His Majesty and fulfill your duties as servants.
Gwanchang is back.
Where is Gyebaek?
Don't hide like a coward. Come out and fight!
Gyebaek!
I spared your life. Why did you come back?
I came to cut off your head.
You're no match for me.
If you want my head, come back when you become a general.
If you send me back alive, I will sharpen my sword and come back again.
Do not insult me any further. Kill me!
If you let him go again, the morale of our soldiers will drop.
Gwanchang.
You died for our country.
I'm proud of you.
I will not let your death go to waste.
I will go and kill Gyebaek.
Please allow it.
No. I will go first.
I will go first.
Soldiers of Silla!
Young Hwarangs are dying to prove their loyalty.
Why do you fear the Baekje soldiers?
Aren't you ashamed?
Give us the order to attack.
We will fight with our lives.
We will fight!
Give us the order!
We will fight!
Loyal soldiers of Silla, I am proud of you.
Sharpen your swords and spears!
If you will not fear death and attack,
I will destroy the Baekje camp tonight and achieve a victory!
Loyalty! Loyalty! Loyalty!
Kim Yusin used young Hwarangs to raise the morale of the soldiers.
He will attack tonight.
Don't worry.
The loyalty of our death squad is greater than the Silla Hwarangs.
They sent young Hwarangs.
We will put our court officials in the lead and fight for our lives.
Tell the soldiers tonight will decide the victory of this battle.
Gyebaek gave us armor. He's really going to put us in the lead.
The Silla army is going to attack tonight.
We could die like dogs. I don't know what to do.
Sangyeong.
You...
We should talk somewhere else.
Do you really plan to die like dogs?
Even if I want to surrender to the king of Silla,
Gyebaek is achieving victory after victory.
How can I help the Silla army?
Bangul is the commander of the right's son
and Gwanchang is the commander of the left's son.
The two commanders sacrificed their sons for this battle.
The Silla army will not back down until the Baekje army is annihilated.
Will the king of Silla really spare us if we surrender?
The king of Silla even embraces opposing factions.
If you help Silla, he will show his grace.
What will you do?
Will you help the Silla army or will you die at Hwangsanbeol?
Make a decision.
Samgwang sent a message.
When we attack tonight, Samgwang is going to return with the Baekje officials.
That's good.
We must destroy the Baekje camp.
We won't need any strategy for tonight's attack.
We have to penetrate prepared to die.
I will not let a single one of them live.
I am going to get revenge for Bangul.
Gyebaek will know we will attack. He will be prepared.
It won't be an easy fight.
If everyone is prepared to fight to the end,
we will be able to defeat Gyebaek's death squad.
Yusin...
If we don't want the Tang army to unify the Three Kingdoms,
you must have Gyebaek surrender tonight and advance to Sabiseong.
The future of the Three Kingdoms is up to you.
Heavens,
we return Gwanchang and Bangul,
two patriotic heroes who died for their country.
If your will to unify the Three Kingdoms and save the people of the Three Kingdoms
is with the king of Silla and us,
watch over us tonight and help us achieve a victory.
Soldiers of Silla!
Gwanchang and Bangul will watch over us.
Fight without fear!
We must not shame the two Hwarangs who gave their lives for our country.
We must achieve a victory.
The Silla army will attack soon.
Get the archers in place and order everyone to battle formations.
Yes, sir.
Hwasi, bring the officials.
Yes, sir.
- Attack! - Attack!
Do not retreat! Attack!
Do not be afraid. Attack!

As long as I'm alive, you will not make it past Hwangsanbeol.
Open the gate.
Why did you come so late?
I want the head of the discipline officer.
