King's Dream
Attack!
Do not retreat! Attack!
What brings you here?
Burn all the military rations!
The rations storage is on fire.
It's probably the doing of Silla spies.
Where are the officials?
I couldn't find them anywhere.
Put out the fire.
Hwasi, find the Silla spies and kill them.
Yes, sir.
As long as I'm alive, you will not make it past Hwangsanbeol.
Crown prince, go around and attack from behind.
Commanders of the left and right, help him and open the gate!
Yes, sir.
Shoot fire arrows!
Shoot!
Keep shooting!
Protect the commander!
Respond!
Archers, respond!
Attack!
Keep shooting!
Attack!
Break it down!
Keep shooting!
Do not retreat!
Break it down!
Protect the soldiers on the siege tower!
Open the gate!
Advance!
The gate has been opened.
We're almost out of arrows.
Retreat and reorganize.
Yes, sir.
Break it down and advance!
Advance!
Open the gate!
The crown prince and soldiers must get inside.
Nobody will open this gate.
I don't want to kill a woman, but I will kill you for Silla's victory.
You are an official paid by Baekje.
Open the gate!
Crown prince.
Where is Gyebaek?
We need his surrender.
The north gate has been opened.
The jwapyeongs burned the rations storage and opened the gate.
It's no surprise.
When a country falls, there are traitors who seek fame and wealth.
You have to get out of here and go to Sabi.
I can't do that.
Please cancel that order.
I will stay by your side to the end.
Are you refusing to obey my order?
I will die here today, but Baekje hasn't been defeated yet.
Go to Sabi and make sure traitors can't harm His Majesty.
You must fulfill your duty as a loyal servant.
You must survive and lead our army in defeating the Silla and Tang armies.
I will remember that.
Go.
Proud death squad of Baekje!
The rise and fall of our country is up to the heavens,
but the victory and defeat of this battle is up to your loyalty.
I will fight by your side and annihilate the Silla army.
Fight to the end.
Your blood will be remembered in history as great pride of the Three Kingdoms.
It is an honor for me to die fighting with loyal soldiers like you.
Proud soldiers of Baekje, fight for Baekje's glory!
Fight!
Everyone, fight!
Kill them all!
Kill them!
Kill them all!
Do not let anyone live!
Kill Gyebaek!
Stop!
Uncle, you must not let your personal feelings get in the way.
We have to prevent further sacrifices.
I will try to convince him.
I don't want to kill you.
If you surrender, our king will gladly use you for greater purposes.
Let's unify the Three Kingdoms together.
No matter how desperate a tiger is, it doesn't serve a wolf.
I lost regarding strategy,
but I don't want to lose to you regarding loyalty.
I know that.
You would never give up your loyalty to save your life.
That's why I want to spare you.
You would feel the same way if you were in my situation.
I killed my wife and children for a victory.
It was a mistake to let the traitors fight in battle with me.
It's no use regretting it now.
Baekje will fall.
I lost in a fair fight.
I have no regrets as a general.
But I'm worried the Tang emperor will try to take the Three Kingdoms.
Be sure to prevent that and protect the Three Kingdoms and the people.
If you promise that, I can die without any regrets.
I give you my word.
I will not let the Tang army step all over the Three Kingdoms.
Thank you.
I will believe that.
Heavens, I was born a general and swore to achieve prosperity for Baekje
and find peace for the Three Kingdoms.
Your will wasn't with me and I will die here.
Please take my soul.
Father!
Hi.
My babies.
How are you?
- Fine. - Fine.
You've gotten heavier.
Treat him with respect.
Gyebaek's death squad of 5,000 fought at Hwangsanbeol.
They defeated Kim Yusin's army of 50,000 four times,
but in the end, they all died.
Only about 20 court officials including Sangyeong and Chungsang
survived and surrendered.
They are pardoned by Kim Chunchu and given high positions.
With the defeat at Hwangsanbeol, Baekje's existence couldn't be guaranteed.
Gyebaek was defeated and killed?
I can't...
I can't believe it. I can't believe it!
The death squad fought to the end.
They refused to surrender and died heroic deaths.
Your Majesty, please calm down.
Gyebaek died at Hwangsanbeol.
You are the princes of Baekje. What are you doing?
If you were half as loyal as Gyebaek, we wouldn't be in this situation.
Gyebaek's death will not be in complete vain.
What do you mean?
Kim Yusin will not be able to join Su Dingfang on time.
Kim Yusin and Su Dingfang will fight over command of the army.
You should have the soldiers at Garimseong attack
the Silla and Tang armies from behind.
Have the soldiers of the border area come to Sabi.
We should be able to defend ourselves until reinforcements arrive from Goguryeo.
You are my oldest son indeed.
I will give you military authority.
Defend against the Silla and Tang armies until reinforcements arrive from Goguryeo.
It was a tough battle.
The victory at Hwangsanbeol wasn't just the result of Yusin and the generals.
We couldn't have achieved a victory if we didn't have
all the soldiers who gave their lives.
I will posthumously award them official positions and
reward the surviving families.
I will use the royal family's assets to reward the soldiers who fought to comfort their souls.
You don't look well.
I will ask the doctor to come.
I'm not sick. I'm just worried.
The crown prince and commander established a foundation for
your lifelong cause of unifying the Three Kingdoms.
What are you worried about?
I decided to fight Baekje to save the people of the Three Kingdoms,
but many young men like Gwanchang were sacrificed.
I can hear their screams every time I breathe.
It wasn't Gyebaek's fault that he killed his wife and children to fight in battle.
This is all because the Three Kingdoms are fighting amongst themselves.
You raised an army to end battles for the Three Kingdoms.
The heavens will understand.
I feel better hearing that.
It is the will of the heavens for Silla to unify the Three Kingdoms.
As the king of Silla, it is my destiny to abide by that will.
Even if it rips my heart to pieces, I will unify the Three Kingdoms.
Your Majesty, I would like to hold a rite to comfort the souls of the soldiers.
Will you approve?
How nice of you.
Gyebaek was the leader of the enemy, but his loyalty was exemplary.
Everyone should learn from him.
Help her comfort their souls.
I will. Don't worry.
Our army penetrated Hwangsanbeol,
but it is only the first of many mountains to cross.
Yusin defeated Gyebaek, but he will have to fight Su Dingfang.
A greater wall awaits them.
The royal family and court have to be one in maintaining the alliance
with Tang and conquering Baekje.
Why did you come so late?
The Baekje army delayed us at Hwangsanbeol.
I'm sure you heard. Please be understanding.
Not keeping a promise with me is showing contempt for the emperor!
Supreme commander!
The Silla army defeated Gyebaek and brought military rations for the Tang army.
Why are you being stubborn?
If you insist on punishing the Silla army,
I will punish you for showing contempt to the royal family of Silla!
What? Stubborn?
Watch what you say!
It is the Silla army that arrived late.
Why are you being so rude to the commander of the Silla-Tang army?
He is not the commander.
Kim Yusin is the one person to lead the Silla-Tang army.
Why are you trying to use this as an excuse to bring the Silla army under your command?
I will not recognize you as the commander of the Silla-Tang army.
What? How dare you?
If you insult our supreme commander,
I will cut off your head and show you how strict military law is.
If you have the confidence to kill the crown prince of Silla,
go ahead and kill me.
Go ahead and kill me!
If you can't kill me...
I will cut off your head for threatening the crown prince of Silla.
Beopmin!
Put your sword away.
If you shed blood here, our alliance will be destroyed.
He is right.
Put away your sword.
Yes, sir.
Whatever you say, Silla didn't come at the promised time.
The victory of a battle can be decided in one second.
I can't let this go.
The Silla army will take responsibility.
What do you want?
I want the head of the discipline officer who is in charge of military discipline.
What?
If the Silla army doesn't give up his head as an apology,
I will not take a single step from here.
What?
He wants the head of the discipline officer?
I think he's insisting on this to gain control of the army.
You should try to reconcile with him.
We can discuss the prerogative of command after we take Sabiseong.
No.
If we let him take control now, he will receive the king of Baekje's surrender.
I think he knows your son is the discipline officer and
is doing this on purpose.
If he won't go, let's leave him here and attack Sabiseong.
We defeated Gyebaek.
We can take the Baekje palace.
He's right.
We don't need the Tang army.
We should advance to Sabi.
We will take the lead.
Crown prince, what do you think?
He is being very disgraceful,
but for now, we have to maintain the alliance and the cause.
We can take Sabiseong without them,
but we won't be able to conquer Goguryeo without the Tang army.
He's right.
Calm down and reconcile with Su Dingfang.
I will not ask for reconciliation.
If they want the discipline officer's head, I will give it to them.
You can't do that.
The morale of our soldiers will hit bottom if you do that.
I already made my decision.
If he does what I say, the morale of the soldiers will drop.
If he doesn't do what I say, advancement to Sabiseong will be delayed.
He is in a dilemma. I will see what he does.
It was a great plan.
Kim Yusin won't be able to kill his own son.
No matter how proud he is, he will ask for reconciliation.
I will dampen his spirits and advance with the Silla army under my command.
Supreme commander.
Kim Yusin is going to execute the discipline officer.
What?
Is that true?
Supreme commander,
as the commander of the Silla army, I was not able to arrive on time.
I will take responsibility by killing the discipline officer as you demanded.
I heard he is you son.
Can you really kill him?
The commanders of the left and right sacrificed their sons at Hwangsanbeol.
I am the commander of the Silla army. Do you think I can't kill my son?
Samgwang, are you prepared?
I will gladly give my life to conquer Baekje.
There is something I want to make clear before I kill my own son.
The Silla soldiers were prepared to die to conquer Baekje.
They fought many times and achieved a victory at Hwangsanbeol.
What did you do while they were fighting?
You landed at Gibeolpo.
You didn't fight the Baekje soldiers camped at Garimseong and came here.
What was your hurry?
I'm sure you can't deny it was to try to take command of the Silla-Tang army
by dampening the spirits of the Silla soldiers.
What?
The Silla army achieved a victory after a tough battle.
You should be praising the victory.
But instead of pushing for the cause of our alliance,
you are trying to dampen the spirits of the Silla army.
You should know that a promise between two generals is important.
Not arriving on time is a humiliation for the Silla army.
Fine.
I will pay for that by killing the discipline officer.
But before I advance to Sabi,
I will fight the Tang army for insulting the Silla soldiers who died at Hwangsanbeol
and for betraying the trust between Silla and Tang.
What?
Samgwang, your death will enhance the reputation of the Silla army.
After you die, I will kill Su Dingfang and all the Tang generals to get revenge for you.
I will abide by your wishes.
Supreme commander, Kim Yusin never makes false threats.
If he kills his son, they will attack us.
You should stop him and reconcile.
Commander.
Stop.
Just because I reprimanded you for being late, how can you kill your son?
I will let it go and not speak of it again.
Don't be angry anymore.
Do you mean that?
A man never goes back on his word.
If there is any misunderstanding, please accept my apology.
I am the supreme commander of Tang following the emperor's order.
How can someone like Kim Yusin insult me like this?
You have to be patient for now.
You can kill Kim Yusin and the Silla army after you get the king of Baekje to surrender.
He is right.
Let them put their guard down, then we can slaughter them.
I will repay Kim Yusin for today's humiliation.
Supreme commander.
The prince of Baekje would like to see you.
What? The prince of Baekje?
Is the king of Baekje trying to bribe me to save his country?
The royal family of Baekje never went against the Central Plain.
All this happened because Kim Chunchu played both sides.
If you ask the emperor to withdraw your army,
Baekje will not upset him in the future.
Please consider that.
I will discuss it with my generals.
Wait for my decision.
It looks like the king of Baekje is trying to delay us until
reinforcements arrive from Goguryeo.
I agree.
I will delay the advancement.
Kim Yusin will have to beg me to advance to Sabi.
I will not move the army until then.
If Su Dingfang didn't apologize, were you going to kill Samgwang?
As a father, I would have begged to save Samgwang's life.
But His Majesty gave me this sword to conquer Baekje.
I swore I would forget all personal feelings and fulfill my duties.
What is there to hesitate or fear when we are to unify the Three Kingdoms?
Baekje envoys are going in and out of the Tang camp.
Su Dingfang might make a secret agreement with the king of Baekje.
We should watch carefully.
We will have to fight the Tang army after we conquer Baekje.
You must not forget that Silla has to unify the Three Kingdoms.
I share your cause. Trust me.
I prepared this banquet for all your efforts to conquer Baekje.
You can drink all you want tonight.
Deputy commander, why aren't you drinking?
Come here and have a drink.
The Silla army is busy getting ready to advance to the Baekje palace.
Why are you holding a banquet?
You can have a banquet after we take Sabiseong.
What?
It is to forget the humiliation I suffered because of Kim Yusin.
You should understand that, not reprimand me.
If we delay, reinforcements will arrive from Goguryeo.
If you are that afraid of Goguryeo,
tell Kim Yusin to attack Sabi with the Silla army.
The Tang army will not advance.
What?
If you will not advance, I have no reason to be here.
I will return to the Silla camp.
That arrogant little...
Calm down.
I had a few Baekje gisaengs come to comfort you.
Send them in.
Come here and have a drink.
What is your name?
Hwasi.
Being a gisaeng seems to be a waste.
How dare you?
I am general Gyebaek's servant, Hwasi.
I will kill you and comfort my master's soul.
Are you alright?
I'm alright thanks to the armor the emperor gave me.
You are? You're so fortunate.
It looks like the king of Baekje sent an assassin.
We should advance to the Baekje palace and kill the king of Baekje.
Kim Yusin could have sent her.
I will not advance to Sabi until I find out who sent her.
What? Su Dingfang refused to advance?
What is happening over there?
I'm sorry, but there seems to be hostility between him and the commander.
They might end up fighting each other before they advance to Sabi.
They can't do that!
Anyone who destroys our cause to unify the Three Kingdoms
will die by this sword.
They will pay!
