SooRo uses GokJoo to lure ShinGuiGwan's armies and defeats them,
and he also succeeds in confusing the enemies by attacking their emergency supplies.
AhHyo leads her own NangJa Armies to JangSeoGok in attempt to overturn the situation but is taken by SooRo...
~ Episode 24 ~
Let's goYes!
Grab it!
Grab my hand!
Pull!
Please, go!
Abandon that bag.
Get rid of that bag!!!
Are you alright?
Yes!
Although we threw it out for one's life,
it is regrettable if we can think about the people of JangSeoGok, who are suffering from hunger.
Let's goYes!
Just hold on a little longer!
Yes, sir.
What are those soldiers doing?
I don't know.
I think they are the reinforcement.
We should hurry.
Let's go!
What brings you here, princess?
GeokByeolChan, what do you mean by "what brings you here"?
Were you not informed?
Although we were expecting you, but...
It should have been a tiring journey,
so let us go in.
I came here because I was curious for what reason you were sitting around in that base.
Are you clear on why I came here?
What did you say?
Waiting?
Can you think this is the action you should be taking??
We have a reason for waiting.
What is that "reason"?
According to the spies, our enemies are out of supplies.
In a few days, they will come out on their own will.
Princess,
My opinion is different.
Please speak.
In the summer where foods are all around,
just because they're out of food,
will they really come out on their own will?
Only if GeukBeolCheon had more field experience,
you wouldn't have made this decision.
ShinGuiGan...
Are you done?
Well then,
princess who has came to know how things are going,
do I need to tell her a lie?
That's right.
Are you two going to just bicker?
That's the place! We're almost there!
What happened?
He came through the rough mountain terrain to aid us.
Came to help us...?
How much can you help us with small amount of foods?
Are you going to leave me here?
It'll buy us a few days, but
it's impossible to hold on any longer in this situation.
Let's go back to GooYa Nation.
Are you telling me to live in an eternal mocking?
Stop the foolish talk.
Nobody in GooYa would welcome me anymore.
What are you talking about?
You have Lady Cheongoon and me as well.
Stop treating me like a kid.
If we can hold on,
then there has to be a way to live.
Go back.
Why do you only think for yourself?
Do you think about the people of JangSeoGok, who will be dying because of your stubbornness?
Stop showing off.
Get out of my sight.
If you won't go...
If you won't go,
I won't leave as well.
I don't need some cheap feelings like that.
Do you expect me to treat you like an older brother?
I cannot go, leaving you behind.
Even if it means becoming your soldier, I'll stay.
Would you accept me?
My soldier?
Fine. You will have to follow my orders.
If you disobey my order, then I will not forgive you.
Okay.

Elder GokJo,
why do we have to suffer like this? Huh?
Did we ask for a land, or a food by fighting?
Why do we have to suffer from hunger?
But thanks to Master Cheongoon, at least we touched irons and
some of us were pretty happy, weren't we?
There is no "free" in a world, so let's just say that we earned ourselves a forge for suffering.
Aigoo. We can't even move around and are being trapped,
and I'm scared if we have to be the shield for taking shots from an arrow.
I cannot live in a fear.
It was better when we lived happily without a forge.
Look here!
Everyone stand up! They say that we received foods!
Really?
You little punks! What are you doing?
Are you playing around with a food to anger us?
Do you think that Cheongoon Army has a mouth, but we don't?
How can I stand by and just watch?
We don't need forge or whatever...
Pushed or pulled,
Get the hell off!
What's the meaning of this?
Let's talk!
What's the matter?
There are no food and people became sensitive.
If people cannot get food, there will be a great disaster.
This won't be long.
What? It won't last long? Are you serious?
Elder GokJo, please convince them.
Make sure to distribute equally to the JangSeoGok villagers.
Judging by the look, they're planning on a long battle.
Do you have any strategy to defeat them?
We have no time. There's a limit to villagers' patience.
If hungered, Cheongoon Army will turn violent like the villagers.
Well then, what do you want to do?
Let's come up with a plan.
Stop right there!
Elder GokJo! Elder GokJo!
Why did you flee?
Since YiJinAhShi came, our village has become chaotic.
All the young people are forced to fight and old people like me were suffering from angers.
What about the food situation?
Look at my face.
I cannot tell how many days I've been hungering.
Aside from villagers, what about the armies?
Those army punks... they steal our food and get fatter...
Hey!
What did I tell you?
Instead of lack of food, their armies are getting fatter.
And few days ago, this guy named SooRo or something
brought food and had a party.
Wait.
Wait. Who was that again? Did you say SooRo?
Yes. That's what I heard.
Are you certain?
I'm not confident since you're asking me, but...
I heard that YiJinAhShi and SooRo are siblings.
Please get rid of them! I will do anything.
What are you going to do?
What do you mean?
Rather than lacking of food,
they're having a party. In fact, that punk SooRo is there too.
Are you going to let it slip?
Do you have a good strategy, then?
Good strategy, yeah right!
We should charge forward.
Wait. What if we can make a use of him?
I wonder if elder GokJo is doing a great job.
Let's wait.
To you... why am I expecting it from you...
Instead of staying here, why didn't you go back?
Didn't you say that there's a way out even if the heaven splits in half?
Stop worrying.
I will reward you greatly after the war ends. Can you open the gates for us?
Open the gate?
Princess tells you that she will reward you so that you can live and play around eternally. Why are you so uptight?
If you do, then there's no reason why I won't.
But... why do we need to open the gate?
You don't need to know. If you can open up the gate, in time, you can live your life happily.
Yes, yes. I will do it.
Yes.
Take him.
Why are you trusting him with something big? I disagree.
Are you telling me that we should sit here then?
If that guy decides to betray us,
then we have the disadvantage, don't we?
This is the best chance to get SooRo as well.

Let's go! Follow me!
Strike them!
Fire!
It's a trick, turn back!
Turn back!!
Retreat!
Don't let them get away!
Retreat!
Get them!
What happened?
It was a trap.
Wha...
Princess...
Looks like our plan didn't go as planned.
From now on, I hope you cooperate with me, the commander. Is that clear?
ShinGuiGan!
Are you going to watch the wounded soldiers?
Get the situation under control RIGHT NOW!
Yes. I shall.
Did you see it, Cheongoon Army? You don't need to be afraid.
Their morales are down and will retreat soon.
Until then, don't lose hope and fight!
I was impressed with all of you who became one with Master Cheongoon.
But we cannot stop here.
We should strike them as we're starting it,
and let's get rid of our enemies from JangSeoGok.
Our supplies are being burnt down!
What did you say?
What?
SooRo... is really impossible for me to overpower you?
Am I born to hate you and fade away?
Is that it?
Because of your foolish decision, we lost about 50 soldiers and half of our supplies.
ShinGuiGwan, what do you think?
Since this happened, let's not hesitate to strike them.
Are you serious?
Do you want our soldiers' blood to wet the entrance of JangSeoGok?
I made a wrong decision.
Please give me a chance to make it up.
What do you mean chance to make it up?
I will capture SooRo with my own hand.
I will lead the NangJa Army and cut SooRO's throat.
After that, you lead the armies and strike JangSeoGok.
I understand what you're thinking,
but I don't think you should lead them by yourself.
What are you trying to say?
You can't trust me because I'm a woman?
I cannot trust those NangJa Army you brought either.
How about entrusting it to GiTae or GongDo?
Is that so?
Prepare about 10 skilled soldiers.
What are you planning?
Prepare the soldiers.
Show them what you girls are made of!
Yes, ma'am.
Subtitles brought to you by the Kim SooRo Fan Subbing Team @www.Viki.
Princess, you'll kill them all at this rate.
Shall we continue?
N..no... they're impressive indeed.
Stop.
Is this satisfying?
Princess, is it... because of SooRo?
You're talking like you know me, but you're wrong.
SooRo... is the enemy of SaRo Nation.
Can I... trust you?
If it becomes a lie, then you can tell my father to punish me.
Trust me. The reason I came here is to see the end of SooRo.
Why are you staring at me like that?
I'll do it for you.
Fate with SooRo that cannot be broken unless you put an end to it... I'll do it for you.
as a loyal servant of SaRo Nation... and as a guy who fell in love with woman that lost her love.
You're saying random things to stop me.
Can't you really tell?
How can I stop you, doing everything you can as a loyal servant of SaRo Nation?
However, if you say something out of your personal feelings again, I will not forgive you. Is that clear?
I truly hope your conviction does not change.
I am being honest.
AhHyo!
What's wrong with you?
I came to take your life myself.
Isn't that AhHyo?
It's the enemy!
You guys retreat.
I cannot do that! Please leave first!
Do you not hear me?
Now!
Retreat!
Drop your sword.
Nonsense.
Either you die or I die, we need to end it here.
Is this really what you wanted?
Answer me!
Is it just killing me, that'll fulfill your goal?
You should have protect princess at all costs, why did you come back?
By any chance, did she get injured?
I don't think so.
She could've retreat together. How ironic.
Isn't that right?
I asked if it isn't ironic?
Are you saying that she went in order to be captured on purpose?
Tell me honestly.
Don't say that.
She got captured, trying to fight Cheongoon Army to the end.
As a princess of SaRo Nation, what's the reason you came?
To come cut your heads.
To see that ChaChaWoong made you come,
looks like he doesn't have much trustful servants.
Don't mock me anymore.
Just finish me off.
I cannot do that.
I need to use the gift sent by ChaChaWoong usefully.
Isn't that right?
If we use her, we can probably win this battle.
What should we do with AhHyo?
You should know it well...
about what it means to keep her captive.
It probably means that we have an advantage.
Why did AhHyo come here?
She came after our lives. Don't you know?
Is it really?
For some reason,
I get the feeling that she came to find you a way to keep you alive.
That's just your imagination.
You're wrong.
It's not AhHyo from before, who would show her personal feelings.
About using someone who you loved,
that is very unlike of you, SooRo.
If AhHyo wants,
you would've sacrificed your life to protect her.
Wasn't she someone you cared about?
Just let go of her.
I have not changed my mind.
Don't testing me anymore.
Even as much as you have to hide your feelings,
trying to take the appropriate action is commendable.
Fine.

Just so that enemies could see,
tie her up!
Geeeeeez...
Things have finally come.
I really tried to stop her...
ShinGuiGwan, are you enjoying a show or something?
Well, it's not like something could change over being nervous.
I'm sure princess AhHyo went in there in order to save SooRo.
Since she's been captured... geez...
do we have a chance against them?
Geez... what should we do?
The day ChaChaWoong finds out...
Well, things became really funny.
When GeukBeolCheon is almost dying,
princess has made a big mistake... hmph.
Do not snigger.
Whatever happens, we need to rescue her.
Don't worry so much.
Even SooRo and his brother have a brain.
They won't treat her rudely.
Forget it.
He looks like he has something to say.
To see you come here alone, you're really brave.
Did you come for princess AhHyo?
That's right.
SooRo, how could you take hostage of someone who you used to love?
Aren't you ashamed of yourself as a man?
Stop fooling around.
AhHyo is only an enemy who attempted to cut my throat.
If you want to make a Treaty, then come back after you're well prepared.
For letting princess AhHyo go,
could you take a hostage of me instead?
You must be mistaken.
Do you expect that your life worths the same as AhHyo's?
If you keep on blabbering,
then you will not be able to avoid these arrows.
As a courtesy, I will let you go alive. Go to ChaChaWoong...
and tell him that life of princess is in danger.
What should I do so that you can let her go?
I want you to order your troops to retreat.
If you don't, then princess AhHyo who you adore so much,
will start suffering from dehydration.
Fine.
I will ask for a favor for one last time.
Tying her up there is too much.
I get what you guys want,
so please treat her more comfortably.
You're still too noisy.
Get out of my sight now!
Quench your thirst.
You should live, so you could find a way for us to live.
Stop being foolish.
Is it endurable?
Stop showing a sympathy.
Just leave me alone.
If we report this to ChaChaWoong,
he will definitely tell us to retreat.
Then, we gain nothing from this war.
But then, if we attack them without alerting ChaChaWoong,
what would happen if something happens to princess AhHyo?
You and I will be in a dangerous situation.
If we retreat without a proper battle, then the dog walking by would laugh at us.
Are you desperate?
Even if we retreat now, we can wait for next time.
Well, for GeukBeolCheon who is highly acknowledged by ChaChaWoong,
would have plenty of chances. However,
I'm different.
Even if that's the case, I cannot accept your opinion.
So consider that.
Subtitles brought to you by the Kim SooRo Fan Subbing Team @www.Viki.
I shouldn't have sent AhHyo.
When I told her not to go... really...
Is there something you did not tell me?
No.
By any chance, did she go in order to be captured by SooRo?
No. That cannot happen.
She was captured, trying to fight to her end for us.
Is that so?
How could I tell you a lie?
If it turns out that I was right, then I will never forgive AhHyo.
Wouldn't that just be pathetic?
Because of her personal feelings, if she became a burden to me and SaRo Nation that is.
WooeolYong says it's not true, either.
Anyway, we have to save AhHyo at all cost.
Tell SooRo and JeongGyeonBi.
That I will sweep not only JangSeoGok, but GooYa Nation too if they won't let her go.
What are you hesitating? You have no time to waste. Go!
Yes, your majesty.
It's good enough that they know AhHyo is here,
we don't need to tie her up there, do we?
Looks like hiding the truth is hard, is it?
If you feel that bad, then release her with your own hand.
It's no good angering ChaChaWoong.
If GooGeup send Cheongoon Army here, it will be defenseless.
There's no telling if he wouldn't charge to GooGeup.
GooGeup is not my country anymore.
I could care less.
What did you say?
You're saying that the place your mother lives in is not your country?
Also, your mother is on her way here to help you.
I have no mother.
Don't bring in Lady Cheongoon just because of AhHyo.
You guys, stay focused and work!
Yes, sir.
The war is upon us, already!
Hurry, hurry!
Aigoo, stop scolding them.
They were working hard.
You rascal! Stop playing around.
It's the war, the war!
What brings you here when we're busy?
Aigoo, you guys are so heartless.
Stop focusing so much on the work,
and take care of these people too.
But, hey! Why does your face look like that?
I think I have to escape at night! I can't hold it anymore.
Is it because of that punk TalHae?
Aigoo, how can he break his mother's heart?
Since reinforcements from NeukDo has arrived, don't worry so much.
If we have to face a war, it's better to strike first rather than being attacked.
I heard that AhHyo is in control of YiJinAhShi. I fear if a war breaks out between us and SaRo Nation.
We need to show them what we have, so that SaRo Nation will not underestimate us.
Hearing your opinions, I feel at more ease now.
At this rate, let's get rid of TalHae and ShinGuiGwan as well.
Miss HwangOk, are the supplies ready?
Yes.
However, YeomSaChi is trying so hard to benefit from the current situation.
He's a merchant to the bone, so let's just watch him.
Here, here.
Great chief! Great Chief,
Great Chief!
Are the stocks in today?
Yes, the stocks that worth a lot of money in GooYa Nation,
are coming to our grasp.
Of course. That's how it should be.
We cannot miss the chance bestowed by the heaven, can we?
Talking about merchants,
the dire situations are the best chance given to the,.
If all goes well, I will share my benefits with you.
Thank you, Great Chief!
If you don't die and live that is.
What are you talking about?
You rascal! We have to move around the battlefield and sell these supplies.
Are you telling me to do that?
Who, if it isn't you?
Am I suppose to do it, then? You little rascal!
Until today,
don't you know how much we suffered to get through here?
Yes, but well...
Well then, I will try my best.
But, Great Chief...
where are you planning to use those wealth?
You could never collect a great fortune.
Wealth... there is no reason for gathering your wealth.
"The wealth itself must be the goal''
That's what it should be.
Although, there is one place that I have a use for.
If I want to get with princess, don't I need to have good amount of wealth?
All these, we put our efforts making these.
It's the best weapons of SamHan.
Just get rid of those enemies with these.
Thank you, elder DangJo.
Our brave Cheongoon Army!
You are the soldiers of Heaven.
Also, you are those who are armed with the best swords and armors,
the best of the best soldiers!
The path ahead of you waits...
only the victories!
You too, Maiden HwangOk?
Yes, I will go with you.
What made you want to do that?
There definitely has to be something that I need to do.
I will go with you.
GeukBeolCheon!
GeokBeolCheon, I have something to report.
What is it?
In the rear, Cheongoon Army has arrived.
What? JeongGyeonBi came by herself?
Yes.
Aside from her, SunDo and HwangOk came as well. It's as if the the the JangSeoGok became GooGeup.
Then, are you saying that we're completely surrounded?
Since SooRo and YiJinAhShi are surrounded,
don't we need to make an escape route by attacking first?
If we strike them too furiously, SaRo Nation could send reinforcements, so...
you have to be wise.
Since both sides have disadvantage with time,
wouldn't be be the best strategy that we release AhHyo and make them retreat?
That's true, but would it work in a situation where nobody trusts each other?
Isn't that AhHyo's honor guard?
His name is WooeolYong.
Looks like they're finally desperate.
Let him in.
Yes, sir.
What do you think he came here for?
I wish it would be for getting go of AhHyo, he will tell ShinGuiGwan and TalHae to leave, but...
Are you expecting something else?
Yes.
What are you thinking, then?
They probably came to threaten us.
Threaten us? Isn't AhHyo a princess?
What do you mean by threatening us when the life of princess is in danger?
The king of a nation...
has a need for being able to get rid of their personal feeling, don't they?
ChaChaWoong is also one of those cold-hearted person, running political issues.
So what brings you here?
I am sorry to tell you, but...
Our majesty ChaChaWoong has spoken that if you won't let go of AhHyo, he will sweep not only JangSeoGok, but GooYa Nations as well.
That's what he told me to tell you.
ChaChaWoong must think of me as
a child who would cry at a loud bluff,
How great is SaRo Nation anyway,
that he dares to declare it right in front of GooYa Nation?
Stop being anxious.
Treaty is impossible from this point on, so go tell ChaChaWoong.
At this rate,
you precious king's daughter,
will be sacrificed.
Withdraw your sword.
I am greatly disappointed from ChaChaWoong, who treats us in a rude way.
We are expecting for a wise decision.
Please, tell him that.
Okay. I will.
Looks like ChaChaWoong is mistaken with his thinking.
Instead of trying to save AhHyo, who is taken hostage,
does it make sense that he threatens us?
Our king's nature is like a fire, so it's unexpected of what he's planning.
So you're saying that he has no desire to retreat even if we let go of AhHyo.
Also, to see that he will strike GooGeup if we don't let go of AhHyo,
there has to be a limit... what kind of attitude is it for someone who's trying to make a Treaty?
SaRo Nation attacked JangSeoGok first.
Princess AhHyo was captured, trying to fight master SooRo.
SaRo Nation talks as if they're mighty empire,
but to me, SaRo Nation is nothing but coward.
We have nothing to fear even if we get attacked.
Can you trust me with this one?
Looks like everyone is lost in their own thought. This kind of fight is not good for neither side.
As a matter of fact, I think that we should strictly solve this problem by talking.
What are you planning, Miss HwangOk?
I will meet with both sides and find a solution.
