Episode 5
Who are you?
You...
You're...
You dare accuse my brother of being a spy? [Mo Duru]
Die.
This is for his revenge.
Mo Duru...
you...
you dare to...
There's an intruder!
Someone's coming.
It's coming from the prince's quarters!
Let's get out quick.
We've to take his head.
I said, let's get out of here first.
Come on get out! Hurry!
Let's get out of here quickly.
Who's there?
They are getting away.
- Hurry, go after them! - Yes!
Prince!
- Come on, let's go! - Get them!
Capture the intruders!
The prince...
Mo Duru...
Really?
You killed Damdeok?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Did you see for yourself?
Did you seen him die?
Yes, I did.
He wanted to cut off Damdeok's head, but I had to stop him.
We would've been captured if we had stayed any longer.
I'm very sure Damdeok's dead, Your Majesty.
Yes, good job.
I've my revenge now.
The morale of the soldiers at Yodongseong will drop.
Your Majesty,
be sure to keep your promise.
Destroy Yodongseong right away now
and save my brother's life.
Okay.
Just wait a little while until we come up with a good plan.
But if you wait too long,
he'll die, Your Majesty.
I'll make sure he lives.
Don't worry too much.
Okay.
You did well.
I'll give you a great reward.
I'm honored, Your Majesty.
Gather all the generals and come up with a strategy to attack Yodongseong.
Yes, Your Majesty.
I would like to help, Your Majesty.
You?
I'm in charge of defense at Yodongseong.
I know all the defense formations.
I could be of help.
Fine.
You'll be a lot of help.
Yes, Your Majesty.
You... Mo Duru!
What are you doing now?
You're bowing to the enemy?
Are you betraying your country?
Quiet!
I won't be loyal to a country which accuses innocent people of being traitors.
I'm not ashamed at all.
I'm just mad!
How can you sell your country?
The commander cared for your brother.
Where's your loyalty?
Loyalty?
What loyalty?
Is accusing a loyal servant of treason being loyal?
I'll show you what real loyalty is all about.
This is horse urine.
You just drink this.
This is the loyalty your father showed me.
I'll definitely destroy Yodongseong
and will of course take revenge on your father for me and my brother.
I'm sorry for causing a commotion, Your Majesty.
No, not at all.
You did a good job.
I was going to make him die of thirst.
I'll give him to you as a gift.
Make him your servant forever.
I'm very honored, Your Majesty.
You traitor!
Do you think you'll live?
- You're worse than a dog! - A dog?
Dog?
- Stop! - Let go!
I said to stop it!
Put it down!
Come on.
You damn dog!
Everyone leave except for Yakyeon.
We would like to stay by the prince's side.
I said leave us!
Take this letter to Gungnaeseong right away now.
No matter what, it must be given to the Prime Minister himself.
Can you do that?
Yes, father.
I definitely will, so don't worry.
[Houyan camp]
General Fengba will take 50,000 soldiers and attack the east gate.
- General Cun Ping the west gate. - Yes.
General Yang Liu the south gate.
I'll attack the north gate with 10,000 soldiers.
If we attack all four gates like that at once,
all of them will be rendered helplessly.
That's not true.
Hey!
Attacking from all directions will just helps Goguryeo.
What do you know?
Yodongseong's a defensive fortress built along the valleys.
You'll only be shot with arrows if you try to surround the fortress.
You attacked Yodongseong so many times, don't you realize this?
Don't you have any generals who are clever enough to plan a strategy?
- What? How dare you! - Hold on!
Keep going.
Yes, Your Majesty.
If you want to destroy Yodongseong...
Concentrate all your elite forces to the weakest part of the fortress this way.
The fortress's weakest part of the area is the south gate.
The wall collapsed in several places.
It'll be advantageous in attacking.
So concentrate all your forces at the south gate.
Then, you should be able to take the fortress, Your Majesty.
General!
General.
Your Majesty, the spy from Yodongseong's here.
Really? Good.
Get him.
Your Majesty.
Did you let us know about their scheme?
Yes, Your Majesty.
We overcame a crisis thanks to you.
I'm honored, Your Majesty.
Yes, how are things at Yodongseong?
The soldiers' morale is really low.
The commander's sitting by the side of the prince's corpse
and the generals are discouraged.
Don't hesitate, take this chance to attack.
We were planning on a strategy to attack.
I brought good news.
Good news?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Around midnight at month end,
they are planning on sending out the prince's corpse
through the south gate to Gungnaeseong.
Bear that in mind.
At month end?
That's in three days.
That's right.
When the south gate opens for the prince's corpse to go through,
you should launch the attack then.
No, Your Majesty. You can't wait three days.
My brother won't live that long.
Mo Duru, don't worry about your brother.
Who are you?
Telling me not to worry about my brother?
It's me, Masu.
General Masu.
I'll save your brother.
Don't worry.
- But... - Your Majesty.
This is a good opportunity.
If we attack when they move the prince's corpse,
those Goguryeo people will be in total confusion.
Your Majesty.
I'm sorry for saying this, but we should wait.
Those Goguryeo people will be hungry and low in morale.
They will surrender.
There is no need to attack and sacrifice our soldiers, Your Majesty.
No.
We'll attack in three days.
If we can't take Yodongseong,
how can I establish authority in the Central Plain?
All generals.
Yes, Your Majesty.
I'll fight myself.
Your merit will depend on the numbers of enemies you kill.
Is that understood?
- Yes, Your Majesty! - Yes, Your Majesty!
[Yeongung, Gungnaeseong - Gae Yeonsu's quarters]
Since there might be many spies in and around Gungnaeseong,
he said that we must maintain secrecy.
Okay.
Prepare to go to the palace.
Your Majesty,
I should make a trip Yodongseong myself no matter what.
What is it?
Did something happen at Yodongseong?
No, I'll report in detail later.
Please give me your elite soldiers.
But, what about Gungnaeseong?
I sent a message to the five clans and lords nearby.
They will defend Gungnaeseong.
Don't worry about it too much.
But...
It's an urgent request from Commander Ko Mu, Your Majesty.
He secretly requested for an army.
There is no time.
We must leave quickly tonight for Yodongseong.
Please give me your approval, Your Majesty.
General! General Masu! General!
General, I'm going to trust you.
You've to save my brother.
I said don't worry.
When Yodongseong falls,
you and I will achieve great merit.
I was discriminated for being Khitan all this while.
I couldn't advance no matter how much of effort I made for Goguryeo.
But in three days time,
I'll be the lord of Yodongseong.
General!
My brother likes these cookies.
The emperor gave them to me,
but I can't eat them when my brother's in prison.
Please give these to him.
Okay.
I'm returning to Yodongseong.
- See you in three days. - Okay.
Hyungnim, hang in there for a bit longer.
I'll save you.
[Yodongseong Fortress]
[Mo Duyeong - Goguryeo general, Mo Duru's older brother]
[Ma - horse]
Ma...
The enemy didn't show any movement today.
It's strange.
They must be plotting a scheme knowing the prince had died.
We've to be prepared.
No, there isn't a need.
What?
We're short of food.
We'll withdraw tonight when we move the prince's corpse.
We can't defend the fortress.
I'm moving everyone to Habosanseong.
What are you saying?
Then, are you surrendering to the enemy?
Not surrender.
We'll come back with more soldiers.
That's not surrendering, what is it?
A Goguryeo commander abandoning the fortress,
- you call yourself a commander? - What?
How dare you talk to the commander like that?
The prince was killed by the enemy.
But, how can you just give up like this?
Well, this fellow still...
Stop it!
We can't be fighting among ourselves!
Come with me.
Did you want to see me?
How long has it been since you worked for me?
Over 20 years.
Time sure passed quickly.
It doesn't seem like it has been that long.
I would be dead if you didn't take me in.
You promised to be loyal if I accepted you.
Do you remember that?
How can I forget that?
Really?
- Are you disappointed with me? - What?
No.
It's true that I couldn't promote you any further.
You fought in the lead many more times than some other generals.
We can't win this battle this time.
How can you be this weak?
You can see victory or defeat with long experience.
Commander.
I can't allow anymore sacrifices.
We're going to leave tonight.
Go on patrol.
Find out what the enemy's up to and report.
Also, find the best route for us to avoid the enemy and retreat.
If in case they were to attack while we're retreating,
we'll be annihilated.
- Understand? - Yes, commander!
The lives of our soldiers and people depend on your patrol,
keep that in mind.
I will!
Go on.
Yes, commander!
Everyone, listen.
We're withdrawing from the fortress tonight.
There isn't much time.
Do as I tell you.
Yes, commander!
Your Majesty, you should go.
It'll be midnight soon.
Your Majesty.
They are going to withdraw from the fortress tonight.
Yodongseong's now yours.
We can't let them leave alive.
We must kill them.
We'll go after them and advance to Gungnaeseong.
Let's go!
Yes, Your Majesty!
General Masu.
How's my brother?
He's alright.
When we get to Yodongseong, we've to save my brother first.
Don't worry.
They are coming out.
It's the cart with Damdeok's corpse.
Wait a little longer.
More will come out.
Everyone, stop!
Something's strange.
Take the cart back in quickly. Hurry!
Turn the cart around!
Now. We should attack now, Your Majesty.
Hurry! Hurry, turn the cart around!
Turn the cart around.
We've to attack before they close the gate.
Your Majesty!
- Attack! - Attack!
Attack!
Get inside the fortress!
Protect the cart!
After the cart!
Get me Damdeok's head!
Kill them!
Don't let a single person live!
Your Majesty, I don't see any enemy soldiers.
They must have fled already.
We got Yodongseong without making any effort, Your Majesty.
Something's strange, Your Majesty.
All those people couldn't have left without us knowing it.
What are you saying?
But those Goguryeo people can't have just evaporated or disappeared from this earth.
Something's wrong.
- Stop the soldiers! - Stop!
Everyone, stay alert!
You foolish Emperor of Houyan.
Do you know who I am?
I'm the ghost general of the north.
Ghost?
Are you really a ghost?
You...
I definitely saw you die with my own eyes.
Can't you tell the difference between human and pig blood?
Our plan succeeded because of you.
Thank you.
What?
Mo Duru? Mo Duru, where are you?
Get Masu and Mo Duru!
Murong Chui!
I'm right here.
It's a trap, Your Majesty.
We're all trapped, Your Majesty.
You're completely surrounded.
Surrender.
Then, we'll spare your lives.
Murong Chui!
I warned you.
You'll pay for attacking Goguryeo.
You...
Your Majesty, you've to get out of here.
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty!
Listen clearly.
You can't get out of here.
If you lower your weapons and surrender, then we won't kill you.
Surrender now.
Attack!
I gave you a chance to save your lives.
If you want to become ghosts, fine.
Shoot!
Protect the emperor!
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty, you've to go.
Hurry, you must get out here! You must go, Your Majesty!
Move!
Capture Murong Chui!
I see fire at Yodongseong.
- Generals, attack! - Attack!
Retreat!
Open up a patch.
Retreat!
Move!
Emperor of Houyan, come on!
I, Gae Yeonsu, have been waiting for you!
Your Majesty. It's a large army, Your Majesty.
You've to get out of here quickly.
Your Majesty!
Capture them!
The one on the white horse's Murong Chui!
Kill the man on the white horse!
Your Majesty, switch horses.
I'll take your horse.
Shields forward!
I'm the Emperor of Houyan!
Who will kill me?
Your Majesty!
Murong Chui!
Where are you going? I've come for your head.
You...
Your Majesty, please leave quickly.
I'll stop him.
Hurry, Your Majesty!
The Emperor of Houyan's cowardly running away?
I'll make sure you never attack Goguryeo again!
I'll fight you.
I've been waiting for that.
You tricked me, but you can't beat my sword.
I'll kill you and wipe away my humiliation.
Humiliation?
I'll cut off your head and take revenge for Goguryeo.
Your Majesty, you must go.
They are coming.
Damdeok, the fight isn't over yet.
You just wait, I'll definitely come back for your head.
Murong Chui, where are you running off to?
Stop right there!
Don't go after them.
But, commander.
What the commander said is right.
If you chase them, you might get killed.
- Your Majesty. - Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty!
What happened to all our soldiers?
They were all dispersed.
We don't know how many survived.
Your Majesty, go to Hyeondoseong.
We can reorganize at Hyeondoseong and attack again.
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty, Hyeondoseong has been taken.
What?
Soldiers from Gungnaeseong attacked.
We couldn't stop them, Your Majesty.
While we were concentrating on attacking Yodongseong,
we didn't see what they were doing.
We're sorry, Your Majesty!
We'll now have to return to Houyan.
But...
This battle's now over.
My main army has been defeated.
How can we turn this around?
Let's return to Houyan Zhongsan.
I'm glad you came.
Commander.
Father.
Good job.
Brother.
I'm okay.
Commander!
General Mo Duyeong.
General Go Chang.
We wouldn't have today's victory without the two of you.
- You saved Goguryeo. - No.
We only fulfilled our duties.
We wouldn't have this victory if you didn't come when you did.
It's all thanks to you.
What are you saying?
All of these are because of your plan and commanding abilities.
No.
If it wasn't for Damdeok,
we wouldn't have lured them into the fortress.
All of this is Prince Damdeok's doing.
Really?
We followed him because we trusted him.
Yes.
No.
It's an honor achieved by the soldiers who fought with their lives.
How can it be the doing of a few people?
You're right.
General!
Please forgive me.
I'm so sorry for having offended you.
No.
If you didn't throw horse urine at me,
I would have died of thirst.
I'm the one who should be grateful.
Masu.
Commander, please don't kill me.
I'll do anything if you spare my life.
if you want the Emperor of Houyan's head,
I'll bring it to you immediately.
Please...
Please spare my life.
I had always known you had traitorous intentions.
I wanted to kill you several times,
but I was patient for the sake of getting a chance to lure the enemy.
You contributed the most to this victory.
Please...
Please spare my life.
We almost lost the country because of your betrayal.
Nobody can be forgiven for betraying Goguryeo.
I'll cut off your head and show that as an example to everyone.
What are you doing?
Quickly cut off his head and hang it up at the gate.
General!
Yes, commander.
General!
General...
Don't ever forget any of this.
There are loyal servants as well as traitors.
You can't tell from their looks because even traitors do smile.
So when you choose your generals then,
you've to be very careful, do you understand?
I'll remember that.
I, Murong Chui,
haven't been defeated like this in a long time.
I'm going to remember today's defeat.
Please kill us, Your Majesty.
No.
It's not your fault.
I was in too much of a hurry.
I took Goguryeo too lightly.
I'm going to raise more power
and will definitely make sure that this land will belong to Houyan.

Prince Damdeok's on the list for disciplinary action.
Anyone who disobeys a command during battle is to be executed.
What?
He has to be executed?
The Prime Minister's showing contempt.
He has changed.
What are you doing to do about Prince Damdeok?
Do you still think he's your friend?
Crown Prince Murong Bao came as an envoy.
How dare you parade around here after killing so many Goguryeo people?
Get those rude people out of here!
Stop!
How dare you raise a sword here?
