Free from his pain.
Cut his hair.
We will go back to KORYO
I will return it to his hometown.
AD 1375 457 years into the establishment of KORYO.
The 31st King, GONGMIN has been assassinated
by HONG Yoon and CHOI Man-saeng and replaced by King WOO.
In China, it was a time of chaos when CHU Yu an-Chang had founded
the MING Empire in Nanjing
forcing the WON Empire from its century-old
rulership in the great plains of China
to the north of the Great Wall.

Stop!
They say, the castle is too disordered...
they will lead us to the temporary reception hall.
Here is too large.
This place does not look like a reception hall Let me find out.
General, behave honorably
I am General CHOI Jung of Yongho troop, the protectors of the Koryo's envoys.
Where is the MING's officials to greet us?
Remove your weapons and official attires!
KORYO murdered our diplomatic envoy
then keep dispatching spies.
Now, you send us a military in the name of the envoys.
You will pay for it! Tie them up!
Don't panic, and stop moving.
Stay back.
Throw your weapons away Anyone to disobey I will slash him!
General CHOI!
General, Don't.
My duty is protecting the envoys.
General CHOI Jung!
Everyone, follow what they said.
General!
We are almost in the exile.
Sorry for my impertinent.
It's my fault...
No, it is our destiny for imprisonment.
Exile is better than in prison
suffocating prison... This is better...
but here is
too hot. Ugh!
Hello.
We are from KORYO.
We were in the middle of exile, by MING.
Are you a general from YUAN the MONGOL imperial?
The great Cokotemure's cavalry!
General, no... do not step forward this time Don't be offensive.
We don't have any grudge against the KORYO
but we cannot keep alive these MING's dogs!
Leave the KORYO's fate in their own hands. Let's go!
Eneral, including the ambassador and a general Seh, we have 12 casualties and 23 survivors
among survivors, five are severely injured.
Have everyone gather here!
How about preparing to camp out here?
Since the ambassador died we cannot carry the duty of the envoys anymore.
Now, such responsibility.
If we stay here the MING troops will come.
- We then explain whole story to them... - You want to keep the exile journey again?
We should not go off our exile path.
Let's follow what MING ordered. Anyway, we are the envoys of the country.
We don't bring any official letter and flag. How can we prove our credibility?
Besides, MING troops might blame us as murderer, instead of Mongols.
General, we caught the strangers.
Here is two.
The duty of the Protector troops end now Get ready to leave, immediately!
- Get ready to leave, immediately! - Yes sir!
Here is an endless desert.
Where are we going?
To KORYO!
General, three are missing the others are all injured.
Find water and food at first.
Hey, Interpreter!
We must hurry and leave We all die if we stay here!
- Wake up! Hold your mind! - Let me out, let me out!!
We are leaving.
General, we should look for the missing first.
This trip is too hard for me
I always wanted to be buried at my home.
Are you in much pain?
Would you rest here for a while?
No.
Even if we make it to Shandong we still need a boat.
It is not about time you worried.
Get up.
What are you doing?
YEESOL
General, please forgive my man.
He is a foolish one... He just wants to care for me.
He is a slave of the vice-ambassador.
This is the Great Wall connecting to the east.
It is where the MING and the YUAN are at battle.
Below are villages where the MING troops are based.
Avoid the village and the MING troops.
Let's eliminate any chance to meet anyone.
General, if we head towards the north we must confront YUAN's troops.
What about here in the middle?
It's impossible It's a desert of death.
In the daytime, everything is burned.
Also, it takes at least twenty days to cross.
Besides, our remaining food and water will last only 6 days.
To that place
we will cross within ten days.
If necessary we will eat once a day and walk during the mid-night
in that case, southern desert is better we can gain three or four days.
Whose territory is that?
That is an abandon land No one could conquer the area.
However, my concern is the vice-ambassador.
- He is already exhausted. - No one here free from suffer!
From now on, you guide us.
Don't block our march.
Whoever bothers our way will die by my sword!
Son of bitch!
He makes us human fry. He will kill us.
Did you called me?
As a vice-ambassador, I'm ashamed I am in such a wretched state.
Take care of the group
I hope you all safely return to home...
I see.
One thing that I must say.
This man here.
He is not a slave anymore.
As I set him free, he is a freeman Treat him accordingly.
Please get some sleep.
Hey you, stop there!
He stole the food while standing guard.
Sorry, sir.
Please forgive me.
No mercy to a thief in the battle.
The same goes for one who is taken.
Beat them twenty floggings each.
Our Joojin troops only eat one piece a day We are equal to your Yongho troops
I will receive the floggings instead of him!
Do what he wants.
All right. You, receive all floggings for both.
Watch carefully!
You'd served in many battles with my father.
Am I quite different to him?
The times were not as difficult as now.
But I am sure you will do well, sir.
Will we make it safely reach at Shandong?
Even if we return to KORYO, people scoff at...
I failed to protect the envoys I even failed to enter the castle of Nanjing.
Here you go.
Use when you need it.
Take it.
In this situation, dying is better.
The vice-ambassador disappeared!
Stop him and search what he brings.
The vice-ambassador has passed away!
Bury the body The horse will belong to Yongho troops.
You may bury him yourself but we will take the horse.
General.
Keep follow the line Stop all!
Good afternoon?
Please give us water and food
I cannot distinguish who you are.
What should I do? Should I tell them that we are the KORYO's envoys.
Don't do that They don't believe us anyway.
If you want to eat you should pay for it!
- What are they saying, bastard? - Do something. We're starving.
- Tell something... - Calm down!
I cannot bear!
If you move one more step then I'll kill you right now.
Would you be from KORYO?
Monk, are you also from KORYO?
Sir, serve food to these people I will pay for it
I am quite obliged I am a general, CHOI Jung.
My Buddhist name is Jisan I am glad to have company on the way home.
You, thief. How dare you touch my property?
Uh? You're a Mongolian soldier!
Sir.
How come you bring a Mongolian sword?
General!
A few days ago, we passed the battlefields.
There were only the dead there.
...Are you a Buddhist monk? Yes.
Do you know how to hold ceremony for the dead?
Yes, I learned the Buddhist incantations as well.
Would you write down the name of the dead?
All my men were brave warriors.
Just write The sons of the blue wolf.
Treat the injured first.
The General is coming.
Have some, Princess.
Would you keep refusing food?
Did you hear that he called her princess?
"Escape me"
my friend, what do you wish for?
Shit! Who bring this filthy thing in here?
You bring this thing here, didn't you?
Get rid of it, right now.
Don't kill him.
He's a real fighter with spears!
Where are you from?
Don't move. We might lose everything
he YUAN troops and the Central Asians are the confederates. They might kill us all.
He has the eyes of a lion
I want to make him as my man.
General he already killed five of our men
I will give you ten horses in return.
You've buried this strange place You met with a wrong place and time. God bless you!
If you insist on the difficult path I will joint you.
No need for that
I am familiar with these locations and might be help to you.
Now we finished to bury Shall we leave now?
We should wait here.
The YUAN troops will pass through this place
we will save the princess!
Don't you say that we are heading towards KORYO sir?
That was my intention until yesterday.
However, we are the diplomatic envoys.
If we help the MING dynasty we could enter the castle of Nanjing with grand welcome.
It won't be late for us to return home after that
a reckless plan! YUAN troops are the strongest one in the world.
Please reconsider General
I made my decision during whole night.
Let's try.
Daejung!
We have to save Yeesol man as well.
We will attack them on both sides The Yongho troops and I will attack from the bottom.
You with others ambush them from another side.
- Now go. - Shit, no! They are coming right there.
We will attack them all together!
General, we don't have any chance to win.
We can do it.
General.
All hide yourselves.
Daejung!
Now is our chance.
Attack the horses first.
Save the Princess.
Interpreter, Interpreter, sir... Go away get away from me I say
what an idiot
I am General CHOI Jung to protect the KORYO's envoys.
Get up.
The emperor calls me princess Buyong.
You do not look like the envoys
I also thought a princess lived in the palace your highness.
Take me to the castle of Nanjing as soon as possible.
If you safely escort me at there the emperor will award you greatly.
We did save you, now we are responsible for you to protect as well.
Your highness
board the carriage without any worries.
It is our total victory, sir.
Are you ok?
Hey you! You said you are an interpreter, aren't you?
I am PARK Jumyung I haven't entered official post yet
- but sooner or later I will enter... - Deliver my words
to that man in black.
Hey! The princess wants you to guard her carriage.
Sir, the princess wants that man to guard the carriage
I will give you a mission.
Guard the princess carriage
I will go to see the place where master is buried.
You can talk... you can talk...
I am ordering you again guard the carriage
I am a free man now I will do as I please.
General, don't be upset
I don't need a slave who forgot his place.
But the vice-ambassador has set him free, sir.
He was out of mind on the brink of death.
Once is a slave will be forever a slave That is the law of KORYO!
Stop it.
We will leave this bastard here.
Everyone, mount your own horses.
General, there is one girl who has survived.
She is a Chinese slut. Leave her behind.
General, mercy is the virtue of the great man.
This is not any of your concern All decisions will be mine.
Take all with us.
General.
The general is coming.
Honorable Cookoo
I lost the princess of MING.
KOROY took her...
Lay him down at my tent.
Princess.
It may be below you, but please eat this
I didn't have time to say this...
Thank you.
Please get some rest, your highness
I'm Yooran.
Yooran?
Meaning of a dancing orchid?
That is the most beautiful name I've ever heard
I am PARK Jumyung.
You have cute eyes.
You wicked one! As a person of the envoys
you don't have any regret in this predicament
play with a woman instead.
What responsibilities do I carry?
I am just an interpreter.
How come you regret at all These miscellaneous readings are in vain
what?
You are the one who ruined the country and accumulated wealth in Buddhist temple...
How dare you mention the Confucius as miscellaneous readings?
What an egotistic views the Confucius is best.
Hope for wonderful world is in every teaching.
The Confucius's words were spread all over the world.
Open your eyes you should know the principles of the world?
The first time I made a love was under the full moon.
She was sixteen, I was eighteen.
Every evening we met on the hills.
Then one day, she became pregnant
and we got married Five days later, I was gone on an expedition.
Was it a son or a daughter?
When I left, she was eight months pregnancy she might give a birth now
I miss my wife so much.
Is he ok?
Get some sleep. I will take care of him.
Tomorrow, he can recover, your highness.
Where are you heading?
To KORYO, your highness.
The general team and yours seem not get along well.
In this kind of long journey many things might happen.
Take good care of him.
Thank you, your highness.
Do not worry about the vice ambassador.
He was buried the place open to sunshine.
Do you have any family at home?
I am alone.
From now on, you are not alone.
We will go together
until KORYO.
MING'II seek every corner for princess
we must head north.
Get out, everyone I have something to talk with Rambulhwa.
Do me a favor.
Please name it.
MING kidnapped my sister I want to take revenge on MING's princess.
Bring her in front of me.
Why did you help me?
You might have resent the MING Empire for exile.
Personal concerns and the public affair That's two different issues.
If you help us see the emperor
I can resolve the misunderstanding about our envoys.
What is the name of that man walking behind?
He is a just slave, your highness
I asked his name.
They're coming.
They're after us.
Where are they now?
They're moving really fast, sir.
How many are they?
Over a hundred, sir.
We don't have much time We have to leave at once.
We cannot avoid them What can we do, General?
We'll lure them to the carriage.
That's good idea, sir.
Who will carry this carriage
I'll do.
Give me two soldiers of Yongho troop.
No, in this time, drive it by the person who didn't fight
no, no I'm just an interpreter.
And I never drove a carriage before.
He is too young, sir.
It has been decided.
How come it's always us, the Joojin soldiers?
Why do you keep quiet, captain?
He even didn't know his baby.
Someone has to drive the carriage.
Put that boy on the carriage.
Daejung Captain.
We'll make them think the princess is in the carriage.
Wear it.
Please help me.
- You can help me, can't you? - I am sorry.
Let me go with you.
Make a detour on the mountain, after that' you can see the Hwangho River.
We will wait for you there.
Please take these, return to the master's family.
We will meet.
Take care of Dansaeng.
You go for the princess.
Never forget your duty is to protect the princess. It's me.
Be sure, you return to me.
Stop.
We will walk from here.
Put together your horses for them not to discover us.
What if Dansaeng doesn't come back?
The Mongolians are not stupid. They 'II come after us sooner or later
I'll be right behind you.
The princess isn't in the carriage.
There can't be only one soldier guarding her.
They are heading for the Hwangho river to cross the mountain.
If so, it's impossible for us to find them.
They eventually will cross the Hwangho river.
Burn all village and the ferry beyond the mountain
so make nobody cross the river
yes!
What about him?
Follow and kill him.
Hurry, lets go.
It's the Mongolian soldiers.
Dansaeng.
Throw that robe away and run. Now.
Go, now! Hurry, run.
Go! And run.
Yeosol.
Yeosol
I am so sorry.
Get up
I served two years against the north
and two years to fighting the Japanese.
Altogether it was four years in the military.
When I got back only rat shit was in the kitchen.
Shit! So I went to the head officer
and hit him with my head, bang.
So did they force you to choose between imprisonment or military service?
How did you know that?
It is so obvious.
Don't go back at all
I heard that there is a KORYO village in Beijing
I will go back no matter what.
My wife is waiting for me.
Guess your wife is awfully pretty?
She is like a fat bear.
Yet, for me, she is the prettiest one in the world.
What about you? Don't you miss your wife?
How many times do I have to tell you? I'm not married, yet
I see.
What happen?
As we expected.
Sir, come.
Be patient, even if it may be freezing That is if you don't want to call the Mongolian troops.
It was not my intention to wake you up. I apologize, your highness
I had a dream
I was already in the Royal Palace.
Once we cross the Hwangho river, we will escort you to the castle of Nanjing.
Daejung tells me that this group is heading towards Shandong.
Believe me. I will keep my word, your highness.
Does the carriage return to us?
I am sure it will do, your highness.
They aren't here, sir.
Divide the soldiers into smaller groups and search them each area.
What about the people here?
We should kill them as they have seen us.
Not a single soul is at the ferry
check again for sure.
Why aren't we going down?
First we will move under the valley.
Ha-it.
Go round to check and return.
What is it?
The enemy are hiding near the ferry.
Kill everyone who tries to cross the river.
It seems that we have to give up Dungju as well as Nanjing.
Who are they, huh?
I didn't have any intention
to bring them here.
They just followed me from the ferry.
Now, the YUAN troops will find us any moment.
We should have kicked them out then
stop.
Stop it.
Don't you hear the word, 'stop'?
I never thought I would see you here, your highness
I have something to discuss with both of you.
Let's cross the river when a night falls.
Yes... it is too far to Dungju.
It would be better to go to Balhae Bay and find a ferry boat there.
Are you saying that we should cross the sea by a ferry boat?
If you can pass through the YUAN cavalry, then go by yourself
after crossing the Hwangho river.
What if does the general insist on escort the princess to the castle of Nanjing then?
Are you crazy? We have to return to KORYO.
In fact, the princess brings us all problems.
Besides, now it seems we have to take all those people along as well.
We have a good news.
Five days later, we'll meet the fortress on the coast where the MING troops are based.
The princess says if we escort her and her people there
she will arrange for us a boat, which will take us to KORYO.
Let us accept her offer.
Do we wait for the carriage, don't you?
Do you think they will come back alive?
Nobody go back to KORYO without a boat.
With the MING troops, we are safe enough.
Also, MING's emperor would know what we help her.
The YUAN troops never give the princess up
but it is true that we need a boat
I will follow your opinion, general.
Good.
Get up.
But
we do have to wait for the people who was in carriage.
We all agreed, your highness.
If your decision is out of pity, then return everything back to where it was.
It is not the time for pity.
Prepare to leave.
Stay Joojin troops here.
You will leave when Yeosol and Dansaeng return.
You've been in the military long enough to know
what the result of disobey to a general's orders...
General to a general's orders...
we should wait until this evening passes.
Dansaeng is coming.
You came back alive.
You're alright? Are you ok?
I've been waiting for you so much.
Welcome to return.
It stained with the YUAN troops
I am glad you returned alive
I did not wish to award a slave such an honorable death.
The noble tend to have useless thoughts.
Shouldn't we arrange a horse for the princess?
She is not the princess of KORYO.
The princess wants to ride in a palanquin It is out of the question.
Get thick wood, now.
It is foolish.
Daejung.
Let's carry it.
Hey, captain.
Why should we carry that thing.
Someone has to carry it.
Hurry.
My soles are as parched as the back of a turtle.
We don't have much time
shit
I'll carry it
the morning mountain at home, white bird sing a song
I want to hear the song, wish to go back home
idiot! Remember the YUAN troops right behind us
I am sorry.
Your voice is louder than hers, monk.
She's just trying to comfort the children why are you so picky?
Aren't you worried about the children?
If you are that thoughtful, you wouldn't be playing around with the prostitute
if the YUAN troops catch us those children are the first victims
and you are also the first one who runs off.
What?
What do you know about me?
Silly one.
Look at yourself.
We've walked all day, but only come 12 kilometers.
With this speed it'll take more than twenty days.
Brother, I don't understand at all.
How can be you still alone with this age? No one waiting for you at home?
I really don't have anyone. Really.
Do you have any girl of your heart?
HA II, you also miss your wife, don't you?
He's still a bachelor.
How many times I told you?
You haven't sex with a girl, don't you?
Why don't you get married until now?
I took the wrong pills when he was young.
Yeah, he has still a child's.
Would you like to try this?
No.
Hey, hey...
hey granny comes back.
She is an distracted old lady.
Since her son was killed at the ferry No one can take care of her.
How can we care about an old one like her?
Bring her here. She is also one of my people.
Who are you? Let me go
I'll carry her on my back.
Tens of soldiers are coming to this way, sir.
Did they find us?
I am afraid so.
Then let's just take the princess.
If we take the others along, we'll all die.
He's right We'll just take the princess and Yooran.
We must keep the promise to the princess.
We bring all of them along.
The YUAN cavalry are faster than the wind.
Even a hunter takes care of an animal
who lost their way. That's a basic moral...
I will stay with them if you want to leave without them
bastard.
Don't you miss your mother?
My ma will be proud of me.
Let's go together, as far as we can.
What don't you hurry? The YUAN troops are coming!
The princess will start first with the Joojin troops.
Joojin Troops.
Order them to carry the palanquin. Now
quickly.
This palanquin is holding us back.
General.
Are you waiting for the YUAN troops to get us?
They ask you for give up the palanquin.
Who said so?
Get out.
Order them to carry my palanquin at once.
Stop.
The princess will be target by the enemy because of this palanquin.
The Yongho troops and I will go at them.
Wait here.
You don't have to go to meet them who are chasing after us
I am the one who makes a decision.
You just follow my orders.
Let's go.
In the forest, the cavalry have less advantage.
Let's follow me with same intervals of one meters.
If you lost the distances, you will be faced alone on the group of the enemy.
Are you afraid?
Then, stay here until you hear something. You can rush out then
I will go down instead of you, general.
Watch the hill.
If they pass through here, the princess will be in great danger.
On my signal, everyone rush at them.
Do as I said. You hear?
Dansaeng
yes
is that you?
We'll take care of here Go and protect the princess.
Look, the Byuljang is coming.
It is very important. You should deliver it.
Please trust my husband.
Now, go.
They are coming.
Go, hurry.
Be careful.
Move, princess.
There is the princess.
Stand back.
Stop it! Don't move.
Take away your filthy hands, you slave.
You could have killed me! I'm a princess.
Stop screaming.
Don't think you can do anything because you are a princess.
Leave me alone.
Take this.
Byuljang... Byuljang.
How's your feeling?
What about the Yongho troops?
Help me up.
What happened to the enemy?
Daejung wiped out them with the Joojin troops, sir.
What about the princess?
She is coming this way, sir.
We will resume the journey We are leaving.
It is quite late
and you must take rest a bit more, sir
it's better leaving early in the morning, sir
I said get up.
If you wish to leave, go yourself, sir.
We will get some rest and then leave
I know that you are the agitator
until now, I let you have your own way
but now I will not tolerate you.
- Leave him alone. - Dochoong, Seat down...
General, please remove your sword.
How dare you.
Byuljang, arrest these men at once.
Now.
Look here.
How about having captain Daejung as our leader from now on?
That's only way to reach the castle won't we?
Dochoong.
General...
Pass your authority to Daejung.
Do you think you came here by yourself?
Under this hard situation.
Someone had to make tough decisions.
Do you know that?
I made these decisions on behalf of the group.
From now on, whoever bothers my way I will cut your throat under the name of the king.
General, you are still in recovering...
Don't You are the one who I want to kill most.
It's you.
Why don't you anyone detain the general?
General, come back.
You may lead these poor people, but that doesn't change our situation.
Do you think these all happening caused because of him?
I am not bright enough to know the future.
You should have hold onto the general.
The only thing I desire most is for us all to go home.
We must leave this place.
Your highness, did you have a nightmare?
The clay fortress is not too far away We should prepare to leave.
But your highness, everyone is asleep.
Don't worry too much.
He couldn't have gone too far.
Even if he desired to come back he is a person who would never do so.
This is Princess BuYong
chased by YUAN, I am heading to the clay fortress.
Send the soldiers there immediately.
Wehae!
We will go around the forest.
We cannot sir.
If we don't chase them now we will lose them in the woods.
Their destination is where the forest ends
I vowed never to return without capturing the princess
we've all prepared to death when we've started the battle.
The Mongolian are not afraid of the death.
Not afraid of the death.
Be careful, you carry with a baby.
Thank you.
Your welcome.
Daejung.
How are the wounds?
The poison in his body is almost neutralized.
- Why aren't you helping the general up? - It is not necessary! I can get up by myself.
General, get up.
Do not call me a general anymore.
Whatever you may say, you are still a general.
You led the group very well. Please go with us.
Go with me.
A well!
Where are all the boats?
What about the MING troops?
Where is the princess? We came all the way because of that bitch's words. Now what?
It's not the princess fault.
Then whose fault is it?
Was it you?
Stop it Who could know this kind happening?
The YUAN troops will come soon Decide whether we will leave or stay.
Let's leave this place.
Close the gates.
Go get a bar.
Hurry.
Call a man who can speak KORYO.
Listen! For years, KORYO has been the vassal of the Great WON Empire.
If you hand over the princess, we will let you all live.
Daejung, we are out matched.
The princess is
none of our business any more.
What they want is me.
You have escorted me here, so you kept your promise.
You don't need to sacrifice people anymore for me.
If you refuse to hand her over,
we will destroy you all.
Daejung, you must decide.
Help us.
Uh? The gates are opening
the great fighter is still alive.
He ruins everything.
Those who wish to leave may do so Those who wish to stay, may stay.
Honey, honey.
Pitch the tents. We will prepare the battle
father.
What the hell are you doing?
Daejung, Daejung I found the bamboos.
Hey, Go away Go away.
You look still pale
I'm alright I wanna help you.
Water! Water comes!
Here is water Come here
water comes
so happy.
Their attacking skills are speedy and quick.
First, they will attack the gate Then will be surround it and climb up.
It is a very difficult situation.
General, please lead us
I don't want to become a fool again.
Everybody knows, the KORYO troops are outstanding the protecting skills for the castle.
But it is because they had excellent leaders.
General!
I will fight by myself
I was the one who made us head to KORYO
and save the princess I started everything.
Whether we go home or fight for a name
this is the time for all of us to unite.
It is none of your business.
This is my war.
Distribute liquor to the soldiers and let them sleep until the sun is fully up.
We have to capture the princess and return to the base as soon as possible.
For the past three months, we haven't been rest for a single day.
We need to attack them as quickly as we can! What if the MING troops come...

Daejung, Hurry up.
General, the messenger has arrived.
Stop the attacking.
We received orders to withdraw. Shit.
We almost win What the hell...
Kill them all.
Saori... Saori.
Look over there A white flag at the YUAN's side.
It is to mourn the death of someone in high position.
If they attack once again.
It will be difficult for us to beat them.
General! Why did you order us to withdraw?
Dig deep wells in the middle of the hill.
We almost win...
Cookoo has passed away
at right after we left headquarters.
Held memorial ceremony, first Then, we will resume our attack.
Why did you leave your place!
Because of you, So many people died.
Stop chanting that It is making people angrier.
Stop crying Anyway, we've beaten the enemy.
Your family is like the loyalist to the MING Empire.
The Emperor will award you greatly.
Award? Hey, who made us
come all the way over here?
First killed my husband and now it is my daughter...
How dare you speak like so to the princess.
You go! Then, we're all safe.
Because of you, we all die like dogs.
Byuljang!
What the hell are they doing?
The water channel is blocked.
Everything will be over by tomorrow.
Cookoo started a losing war.
The dreams of the great Ghengis Khan
may fade away forever.
Don't say. Your words have
great influences on the fighting spirits.
Let's return to the prairies.
You mean we should just leave like this?
We are taking the princess with us.
The children are waiting for you.
Why did they find me?
I have no business with them, right?
It is not your fault to avoid a battle.
You told me
that I was irresponsible, didn't you?
You were right
I am... mean and coward.
In this situation, it is more difficult for one not to fight than to fight.
If you disagree a useless cruelty, keep the conviction
I think that is courage too?
At one time
I was a student of Confucianism, dreaming of the righteous world.
But for a countryman like me
I was not even given the chance to apply for a position of government official.
That is why I joint this journey
which no one else want to go
I wanted to create an opportunity...
I always end up with bad luck... why?
Pray for a hundred days to Buddha.
He will help you.
Does it really work?
Aren't you going to the children?
She is giving birth!
We need hot water... What shall we do?
We don't even have drinking water.
What the hell you guys all doing here.
Get out, get out.
Isn't that Dansaeng? Where is he going?
That son of bitch He is out of mind.
Dansaeng!
Call the people
I'll go and get him.
What can we do?
Shit, be careful.
Here is thieves.
General, two men stole water from our well.
What about Dansaeng? Where is he?
Uh? He were right behind.
Where is he? Uh, over there.
Dansaeng!
Dansaeng stand up.
Give me that.
Dochoong
throw the fire.
- Dansaeng. - Hurry.
- Run! Run!
- Almost... - Climb up.
Get the rope.
Climb up! Climb up.
Dansaeng.
Hurry up.
Wait
what the hell he's doing?
Dansaeng, come back.
Come on. Hurry up.
Get this one first.
Hurry up
pretty clever Do you want to try?
Dansaeng. That's alright Give me your hand.
No.
Dansaeng.
Shit Stop crying.
Let him cry.
How dare you come here, huh?
You want to kill all, huh?
Dochoong!
Then, give me back my eye! Give me.
Dochoong.
You told us you would give us a boat, didn't you?
What is the princess of the MING Empire? You even can give us a small boat?
Because of your words we come all the way over here
where's the boat? The boat!
What did you hit me? Why? Why me?
How come you hit me?
Then, hit me. Hit me more!
Don't blame the princess.
Everything was my decision.
The general will take responsibility?
How do you take responsibility for the situation like this?
We just have to send the princess out alone Why can't we do so?
Why?
Why don't you sent her out?
That's enough...
Let me go, you son-of-a-bitch.
Someone has to tell the princess about this.
Just shut up.
Daejung! Don't stop them It's better them to say what's on their minds.
General, what are they talking about?
You are all cowards.
Then, let's just cut the princess head off.
You keep out of this.
If we hang her head outside the fortress wall, they might turn back.
If you all wish, I'll do that
interpreter, what's Yeesol saying?
Tell me! I order.
That you should be sent to the enemy.
Shuts your mouth.
Then, do you want me to tell her that he offered to cut her head off?
Do you know that your words make her hurt a lot?
I came all the way here for only her.
Never wish for something you can never get.
Don't forget you are a slave.
Have you ever heard of the slave, Manjuk?
He said, People are all the equal.
Is there any special blood for king or others?
After saying those words, he were hanged.
Whoever aims at my neck will be cut off his arm first.
My sword carries no mercy.
Do you want to match?
Too many have died so far, too many...
Now you want us to kill each other?
Whatever happens do me Don't help me.
It's a boy!
The princess Bless the child
for luck and health.
What are you doing here?
Are you planning to freeze him?
She's always take care of herself, she doesn't deserve to do that.
Hurry and take the child inside.
Before he catches cold.
Your highness.
Your highness
forgive me.
Bring me a horse
I am leaving this fortress.
Stop this, your highness You are the reason we fight for up to now.
As you all watch, everybody hope me to leave this place as soon as possible.
As a princess of the Great MING Empire I will end this war with my own hands.
Your highness, please don't go Please.
Do you want me to take my own life right here?
No one may step forward
I will go by myself.
General...
Get out of my way.
The KORYOs wont give up you, your highness.
Please trust me!
How dare you block me?
Wait for her they are coming towards us.
You can't go.
Will you watch guard outside the fortress?
Kill him!
Wait.
Let him pick up the sword.
What happened others?
What about Yeesol?
Just stay where you are.
Daejung, Daejung.
You can't move sir, not now
can't move.
The royal castle was too suffocating for me
I thought that if I left there I would be free.
This is all my fault
I'm so scared
I don't think I can bear it any longer.
So do I I am also a coward
I was always afraid
that people would notice that
I do not deserve being called general.
Everyone come here.
He may die.
He moves...
His life is long enough...
General, what is the meaning of this?
When they open the gate doors to rescue him, we'll easily enter the fortress.
If they decide not to come out for him then I will be able to acquire a great warrior.
Is there anyone who save him?
- I'll go down to get him. - General
if we open the door now we'll all die.
It's the enemy's trap.
Then you're saying we just stand back and watch?
That's better idea!
Let's just kill him with our own hands.
Should I throw the torch?
The moonlight is bright...
Daejung... Daejung.
Don't shoot.
You like him too don't you?
Daejung.
Do you still consider me general?
I want to lead the battle at tomorrow.
Until now we have gone through so much.
It is a miracle that we've made it so far.
However
according to the Chinese proverb
if we attempt to live, we die, and if we attempt to die, we live.
Let us trust each other, and unite.
Even if we all die...
Tomorrow they will break the gate and enter.
If they come in we will use these bomb!!
Be careful.
Come here...
All stand up.
Tomorrow, we will protect you, your highness.
Do you wish to become a general of the Great YUAN Empire?
I am a free man Kill me.
They never took your existence seriously.
In order to rebuild the Great YUAN Empire we need courageous warriors like you
the morning mountain at home, white bird sing a song
I want to hear the song, wish to go back home
I want to hear the song, wish to go back home.
Sir, you resemble my father who had passed away.
The KORYOs and the HAN's look very much alike We're like brothers.
We're like brothers.
We have dragged on this too long
everyone will die.
Before sunset comes we return to the prairie.
No, no, wait a minute.
Fire, fire, fire! They use fire first.
Don't move.
Everyone run for cover.
General
we've failed.
Daejung...
I always want to have an honorable death.
That's my dream.
Jaosinwe! Jaosinwe!
We must go out and fight together!
Dochoong!!
Protect the princess Go out this fortress with her.
So many warriors have died because of you!
Yesol...
My son.
It's too dangerous.
You cannot cross the sea with that boat
I must go.
Only those who have a long journey will see the long roads to go home
