Why is everyone always pointing their swords at me?
Come quietly with us. We'll spare your life.
Who are you and why are you trying to abduct me?
I have orders from His Majesty.
You!
You'll find out if you come with us.
We won't hurt you, so just come.
No!
How am I supposed to know where you're taking me?
You might kill me.
Tie them up!
Yes, sir!
Let go of me!
Who are you?
Just leave and you won't get hurt.
They're not going to leave.
Attack!
You!
What scary men.
I almost died on the street.
Me, too.
Do you remember my instructions?
Yes, I remember everything.
You must hurry.
Find out about that place in detail.
I will.
I trust you.
Our success depends on you.
Don't worry. I can fight.
I'm talking about your eloquence.
What?
Oh, right.
Go on.
- Should we go after them? - No, they're pretty skilled.
There might be others waiting in ambush.
I don't think anyone is following us.
"Interrogation" " Detainment" "Envoy Quarters"
These are our instructions.
We have to meet the king of Baekje.
- We're going to the palace. - Okay.
Let's go!
My lord! My lord.
What about Ha Muji?
Men in masks appeared and he got away.
Men in masks?
Where did they come from?
Do you think His Majesty sent them as escorts?
To protect Ha Muji.
Escorts?
They wouldn't be in masks.
There is another unknown power involved.
My lord. My lord.
There are envoys from Goguryeo at the palace.
Goguryeo envoys?
Yes, they came to capture Ha Muji.
- Let's go to the palace. - Yes, my lord.
Wiryeseong, capital of Baekje
Your Majesty, I am Sagal Hyeon from Goguryeo.
What brings you here?
I came with the king's order that you extradite a criminal named Ha Muji.
Ha Muji?
Yes, Your Majesty.
He is a criminal who showed contempt for our king.
Our king ordered us to receive your approval to capture him.
I don't have time to worry about small matters like that.
There is no reason Baekje has to agree to such a request.
We don't know anything about a person named Ha Muji.
Then give us your approval to capture him ourselves.
Baekje won't have to do anything.
How dare you?
Goguryeo soldiers can't roam about Baekje at will.
That can't be.
But, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
Ha Muji!
You escape from prison and you're hiding here in the Baekje court?
Let me ask the king of Baekje.
How will you explain this?
How can a king lie like that?
Look here!
That's a bit excessive.
You just said you don't know anything about him.
How did he come in here without being restrained?
It's proof that you were hiding him!
Arrest Ha Muji right now.
Yes!
Stop!
How dare you?
This is Baekje.
Goguryeo envoys can't do whatever they want.
Do you intend to break off any faith there is between Goguryeo and Baekje?
You just lied about not knowing him.
You refused the Goguryeo king's request to cover up your lies.
This is an act of disloyalty.
I have no reason to be loyal to Goguryeo.
Can I tell our king exactly that?
Can I tell him that the king of Baekje doesn't care about loyalty or faith?
What?
How dare you?
Arrest the Goguryeo envoys right now.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty!
Lock them up in prison right now!
Your Majesty, they are envoys. You can't do that.
They showed contempt.
Your Majesty, calm down first.
Disarm them and lock them up in the envoy quarters.
If they try anything, move them to the prison.
Yes, Your Majesty.
We're a bit late.
His Majesty shouldn't have done that.
He can't arrest envoys.
He's going to face Damdeok head on.
What should we do?
I'll have to see His Majesty first.
He has to be told how foolish his actions are.
Will he listen to you?
I'll have to convince him.
This could put Baekje in danger.
Let's go.
What's going on?
I told you to stay in hiding.
Are you ignoring my order?
I was about to leave Wiryeseong.
But some men appeared and attacked me.
What?
Who were they?
Well...
You still shouldn't have come here when the Goguryeo envoys are here.
You've put us in a bind.
I didn't know they were here.
I thought I was going to die. I wasn't thinking.
What was I to do?
You still...
That's enough.
I'm sorry.
Your Majesty, Asin would like to see you.
Go to your quarters.
Yes, Your Majesty.
This way.
Show him in.
I didn't ask for you.
What brings you here?
Is it true that you detained the Goguryeo envoys?
Yes, I did.
Did you do that to protect Ha Muji?
He is my advisor. I need him.
I chose to protect him.
You are being played by Ha Muji and the king of Goguryeo.
Ha Muji is a spy.
What? A spy?
What proof do you have of that?
He came between us and caused hostility.
He exhausted the state coffers with all that construction.
He made you lose public sentiments.
When the Goguryeo envoys came, he appeared and put you in a bind.
Because of that, you detained the Goguryeo envoys.
Baekje has given Goguryeo a cause to take action.
You're only trying to blame an innocent person because
you lost your military power and were kicked out of Gwanmiseong.
That's not true.
I am not foolish like you.
What?
Everything is going according to Ha Muji's plans.
We have to get out of here.
Didn't he say he would find a way for us to do that?
There has to be a hint.
"Interrogation" "Detainment" "Envoy Quarters"
Envoy quarters.
It only says envoy quarters.
He knew we would be detained here.
If we're the only envoys here, he must have prepared something.
Search for it.
I'm sure he planned a way for us to get out of here.
Yes, officer.
I found it.
This was all a scheme by Ha Muji and Goguryeo?
We should have a confrontation.
If he is innocent, he will appear and prove it.
But in my opinion,
he will already be long gone.
He achieved his goal in Wiryeseong.
- Bring Ha Muji. - Yes, Your Majesty.
I will confront him and find out the truth.
Don't be so confident.
You could be wrong.
Hurry up!
- Hurry up! - Yes, sir!
Hurry up!
Those sneaky rats.
They ran away.
- Get them! - Yes, sir!
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
Ha Muji is gone.
Did you search everywhere?
Yes, there is no trace of him.
See?
He is showing his true colors.
You were played by him.
You must be happy that I was played by Goguryeo.
I'm a Baekje person.
No matter how incapable the king is, I must be fully loyal.
You have to find a way to fix this.
Fix this?
Do you have a plan?
There is no way for us to find out more about Ha Muji.
What's certain is that we broke faith with Goguryeo because of him.
You had the Goguryeo envoys detained.
Are you saying there is no proof that Ha Muji is a spy?
Is there any proof?
Is construction at the palace proof?
Is kicking me out of Gwanmiseong proof?
I'm sorry, but the only thing we can say is that
the Baekje court is incapable.
How can we fix this?
You will have to be prepared for humiliation.
Humiliation?
Yes, humiliation.
You will have to apologize for the diplomatic discourtesy and
return the Goguryeo envoys right away.
You will have to apologize for not cooperating with Ha Muji's extradition.
I was humiliated enough. You want me to be humiliated again?
If not, there will be battle.
Fight Goguryeo and win.
Make them pay for looking down on Baekje and you.
We were completely played by Goguryeo.
If you want to pay them back, you need that much resolve.
I am the king of Baekje.
I will no longer be a shameful king.
I declare war against Goguryeo.
The Goguryeo king showed contempt by using Ha Muji.
He put Baekje in confusion.
I will not let this go.
I will lead the battle to victory and make Damdeok pay.
I will have the Goguryeo envoys killed right now.
Prepare the army!
I will lead it myself and attack Goguryeo.
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
The Goguryeo envoys escaped.
They couldn't have gotten far.
- After them! - Yes, sir!
They won't get away.
Find every single one of them.
The Goguryeo envoys escaped. After them!
After them!
Let's go.
- Search everywhere! - Yes, sir!
Let's go!
I had lotus patterns put in the wall of the new road.
Follow them and you should be able to leave the palace.
Over here. There's a lotus here.
Let's go.
- Did you find the Goguryeo envoys? - Not yet.
- They must be captured. - Yes, sir!
Let's go.
Hurry!
Let's go!
The path leads to the stables.
You can take the horses.
Zhongsan, capital of Houyan
We're receiving reports that there might be trouble between Goguryeo and Baekje.
I heard.
There are internal problems in Baekje.
Goguryeo is involved and their relations have become sensitive.
Ko Un, what do you think?
If there is a battle, both countries will become weak.
That would be good for Houyan.
After the battle, they will need many supplies.
Trade will increase for Houyan, so that's good, too.
That's a good analysis.
What else?
If Goguryeo loses to Baekje, Houyan will have to attack Yodongseong.
Yes, but there is no justification to attack Goguryeo.
A battle for justification is created by the victor and stronger party.
If you defeat an enemy, that is justification and power.
If there is a battle, which country do you think will win?
I think Goguryeo will win.
Goguryeo? Why?
Goguryeo has been preparing for battle against Baekje for 2 months.
Are you saying there is no possibility for Baekje to win?
We can't jump to that conclusion.
Baekje has plenty of food and naval forces.
If Baekje is at an advantage, why do you think Goguryeo will win?
Because of Damdeok.
It won't be good for Houyan if Goguryeo wins the battle.
I believe it is time for Houyan to move.
By showing military movement, you could pressure Goguryeo.
Yes, that's a good idea.
I will go to Baekje and look for a way to help Baekje.
Do that.
The minute Goguryeo is in crisis, we must attack Yodongseong.
Be prepared!
Yes, Your Majesty.
I'm worried that Houyan is taking too much action.
What do you mean by that?
We have friendly relations with Goguryeo.
That could all go to waste.
We're not going to battle right away. We're just getting ready.
Goguryeo could become our enemy at any time.
That's right.
We will get ready.
Just watch and wait.
Prince! Prince!
Prince.
Did you want to see me?
Yes, you will have to accompany me to Baekje again.
Did you say Baekje?
You don't want to go?
It's not that.
I know.
I will pay you a lot.
Get ready.
I would follow you to hell if you paid me.
Just call.
Good.
That's better.
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty.
Good job.
How are they doing?
They are doing their best.
They're well trained and high in morale.
Your Majesty, how...
They could go to battle right away.
That's right.
His Majesty has been preparing for several months now.
Have a seat.
Goguryeo is going to conquer Baekje.
Our target is Gwanmiseong.
Your Majesty, Gwanmiseong is surrounded by the ocean.
It is the strategic point of Baekje.
It is next important after Wiryeseong.
We will need a lot of preparation to take Gwanmiseong.
I heard it is an impregnable fortress.
We can't go to battle right now.
Excessive battle with impoverish the people.
They might be disappointed.
That's exactly why.
Baekje's land is rich and there are many fields to farm.
Baekje is smaller than Goguryeo, but they are better off economically.
It's because they have much food and active trade.
I would like Baekje to share that with Goguryeo.
But that doesn't have to be achieved with battle.
It can be done through formal means of diplomacy and trade.
I don't think so.
We must go to battle.
Baekje is always attacking our border and made King Gogukwon die.
We can teach them a lesson.
That's right.
If Goguryeo can take Gwanmiseong,
we can prevent them from trading with other countries to prepare for battle.
They wouldn't dream of forming a secret alliance with Houyan again.
Goguryeo will have power over the west coast.
The relationship between King Jinsa and Asin isn't good.
It can't restored to what it used to be.
It will be better for us to attack when there is internal dispute.
That's right.
It will be much more difficult if Asin becomes the king.
I agree.
That's what Ha Muji meant, too.
Ha Muji?
Ha Muji is implementing a plan with me.
Sagal Hyeon, Seol Ji and other envoys are in Baekje right now.
We should be hearing from them soon.
Your Majesty.
Our envoys were detained, but they escaped.
General Hwang.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, Sagal Hyeon, Seol Ji and the Cheongun are all safe.
So everything Ha Muji planned went accordingly?
Yes.
Your Majesty, they are going to move covertly to join our army.
Gwanmiseong (strategic point of Baekje presumed to be today's Gyodongdo)
Hi.
You made it out successfully.
Successfully?
Did you want something to happen to me?
Of course not.
Did you take care of everything I asked you to?
Yes.
I did some work around the market and spread rumors.
How was the response?
They're indifferent so far.
The rumors will take more effect when the battle begins.
You learned well after all this time.
Of course, I learned from you.
Did you find out about Gwanmiseong?
Yes.
Okay, let's go.
Your Majesty, all this was planned by Ha Muji?
Yes.
Things are going as we planned.
But we don't know anything about him.
It's a bit reckless to trust him like this.
Yes, Your Majesty.
I agree.
We don't know anything about what he's capable of.
I'm testing him right now.
There are several ways to win someone.
Getting the truth from that person and trusting that person.
I'm doing both to win him over.
Still, we can't attack Gwanmiseong with just his word.
It really does seem reckless.
Don't worry.
What we need is a strong will to take Gwanmiseong
and a unified attitude to trust what we decided to.
Would you be so doubtful if I said everything he did?
We're sorry, Your Majesty.
It's time to go to battle.
Gather the army.
Our target is Gwanmiseong.
Right here. Gwanmiseong of Baekje.
Wiryeseong, capital of Baekje
- The generals will listen. - Yes, Your Majesty.
What is the fastest way to attack Goguryeo and show them our power?
All the forces of the nearby fortresses should be combined.
We should attack Pyeongyangseong in the south of Goguryeo.
Pyeongyangseong?
Yes, if we take Pyeongyangseong, it will be a huge blow for them.
We can annihilate all the soldiers between Pyeongyangseong and Wiryeseong.
We could own all the land south of Pyeongyangseong.
What's important is that we have plenty of reinforcements and rations.
That's a good strategy.
Lord Asin already tried that before.
What?
It was attempted when we joined forces with Houyan.
Why did you fail?
If Wiryeseong sent reinforcements, we would already own that land.
This strategy can only succeed if there is cooperation on water and land.
We have to have the enemy focus on one place, land or sea.
When they head in that direction, we can attack from the other.
We will also have to transport goods by water.
He is right.
With cooperation between land and sea, we can succeed.
I have a request.
What is it?
Appoint me to Gwanmiseong again.
What?
You need support from the naval forces to win this battle.
I have experience of attacking Goguryeo with the naval forces.
It should be very helpful for this strategy.
That can't be.
His skills are absolutely necessary to win this battle.
That's right.
Nobody else can lead the naval forces as well as he does.
We can talk about that after the battle.
What's important is that Baekje win this battle.
I have to lead the naval forces to make that happen.
Look here.
There are plenty of generals who can lead the naval forces.
Why are you so obsessed with Gwanmiseong?
Am I mistaken?
I only think about Baekje.
Baekje's victory, Baekje's future and Baekje's strength.
I understand how you feel.
But this isn't the time to discuss that matter.
Are you afraid of me?
What? Why would I be afraid of a servant?
Then do you doubt my loyalty?
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
We're in trouble.
Goguryeo is attacking us.
What?
Goguryeo?
Yes, they're going after Gwanmiseong.
They're attacking Gwanmiseong!
What?

Isn't it strange that they leaked information they're attacking Gwanmiseong?
It's another trick.
They're saying that, but they will attack Wiryeseong.
At this rate, it will take over five days.
We have to go faster.
Speed up.
Where did 40,000 soldiers disappear to?
Didn't you say the goal was to spread rumors that Goguryeo soldiers already infiltrated Baekje?
Cause riots at other fortresses, too, and join His Majesty.
There is a signal fire in the north.
Why the small fortresses?
They crossed the border here.
It's only two days from Wiryeseong.
It's a trick.
What they're really after is Gwanmiseong.
Is that it?
You want to become the lord of Gwanmiseong again?
It looks like things are going as you planned.
I can see the confusion in Baekje.
Damdeok.
You chose the wrong person to fight.
