General Hwang.
- Yes, Your Majesty. - What are you doing?
Send reinforcements right away!
- Yes, Your Majesty. - Wait, Your Majesty.
The Goguryeo naval forces don't know this area well.
Rash actions could lead to trouble.
Am I just to stand here and watch my soldiers die?
You should bring Baekje naval forces from the prisoners.
Put them on the boats.
You should send a scout boat ahead, too.
Do it right now!
- Yes, Your Majesty! - Yes, Your Majesty!
Hurry!
- Hurry! - Hurry!
Hurry!
Dozens of boats and hundreds of soldiers sunk in the water.
We caused a lot of confusion.
We should carry out the rest of the plan.
We have to land at Gyodongdo and enter Gwanmiseong as soon as possible.
Tell the boats to put out the lights.
Relay the message quickly.
Yes, my lord.
Put out the lights!
- Put out the lights! - Put out the lights!
Put out the torches!
What?
The Baekje boats disappeared?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Gyodongdo, Goguryeo camp We can only see our boats burning.
We can't see any other lights.
There's no reason for them to retreat when the situation is advantageous to them.
It's Asin.
It was bait to enter Gwanmiseong.
Have soldiers to wait in ambush near Gwanmiseong.
We have to stop him from entering Gwanmiseong.
It's already too late to wait in ambush near Gwanmiseong.
You should make other preparations.
What are you talking about?
Baekje reinforcements have to enter Gwanmiseong safely.
They might attack one more time.
Yes, Your Majesty.
It is our army that is confused, not the Baekje army.
It is typical to attack wavering soldiers even more.
Of course.
The problem is that we don't know where and how they will attack.
We can't prepared for that.
How about this?
Since we don't know where they will attack, lure them to our camp.
You mean set a trap?
Yes.
Move the soldiers and make it look like they are out of formation.
You might run into Asin.
Asin...
Asin.
Asin's troops land in Gyodongdo
My lord!
Stop!
We're in trouble.
What is it?
While we were distracting our enemy, general Dae Yoseung entered Gyodongdo.
General Dae Yoseung?
What is he doing here?
It must have been ordered by His Majesty.
He probably didn't want you to be in command.
I'm sure general Dae was ordered to command us.
If he is discovered by Goguryeo scouts,
the path to Gwanmiseong could get cut off.
That's right.
According to our scouts, the Goguryeo camp is in confusion.
General Dae is going to make a surprise attack.
You have a lot of power in Gwanmiseong.
He probably wants to achieve merit to establish power.
Gyodongdo, Goguryeo camp
Attack!
General, the camp is empty.
What do you mean it's empty?
Are you saying this is a trap?
You!
We will take revenge for all our soldiers who died.
Kill them all!
Do not let anyone live!
It's not Asin.
It is general Dae Yoseung.
General Dae couldn't command the naval forces that well.
I didn't think we'd meet like this.
Did you want Gwanmiseong that badly?
I'll show you what you get when you refuse the choice of the heavens.
What?
My lord.
Where are you going?
Shoot!
Asin!
Did you think it was that easy to take Gwanmiseong?
Your Majesty, we should go.
We'll finish this at Gwanmiseong.
Let's go!
Retreat!
Gwanmiseong, Baekje
Congratulations on entering Gwanmiseong again.
Congratulations.
It's a bit early for that.
There is a place to enter and a place to avoid.
Damdeok's greatest mistake was not knowing that.
I will not let them take Gwanmiseong.
Are you prepared to fight me?
We will obey your command.
You must not lose to Asin.
As long as you have this, you are in my place.
You must achieve the highest merit.
Win the battle and dampen Asin's spirit.
That is the only way we can achieve stability in the Baekje court.
General Dae Yoseung came with His Majesty's order to help us.
Show him your respect.
Yes, sir!
Gyodongdo, Goguryeo camp How much damage did we suffer?
40 ships were burned and 8 were partially destroyed.
400 soldiers died or went missing.
We have to prepare for everything.
With Asin in Gwanmiseong, things are different.
- General Hwang. - Yes, Your Majesty.
We will have to spread out and be prepared for raids.
The unit commanders will be general Hae Mowol.
Yes, sir.
General Mo Duyeong.
Yes, sir.
General Mo Duru.
Yes, sir.
Chief Yeon Salta.
Yes, sir.
And chief Yeo Seokgae.
We will also have to have a main camp to be prepared.
Chongmyeong.
Yes, sir.
This is Gyodongdo and Gwanmiseong.
This is where we are.
This is where last night's battle was at sea.
This is where the battle was on land.
Siege warfare will begin again.
Our plan to end the battle before Asin arrived didn't go as planned.
It will be an all-out war.
It's fortunate that Asin didn't come alone.
The Goguryeo army was damaged,
but general Dae fell for the trap and Asin appeared later.
It means their opinions aren't in agreement.
Dae Yoseung is King Jinsa's right hand.
He will tie Asin down soon.
Isn't that what we want?
Right?
Both sides are reorganizing, but there will be battle again.
Yes.
Gwanmiseong has rations for over 10 months and wells.
We won't lack in supplies.
You brought soldiers, general Dae brought soldiers and
there were 20,000 soldiers stationed at Gwanmiseong.
Goguryeo won't be able to attack Gwanmiseong easily.
What about the internal dispute?
Do you mean general Dae?
Yes.
I will obey the royal command.
General Dae will command the army.
I will support him as the fortress lord.
Gwanmiseong is the heart of Baekje.
I'm sure His Majesty and general Dae both want to defend Gwanmiseong.
If that's your wish, we will have to abide by it.
Is Doyeong safe?
The people in Gwanmiseong fled to Mt. Hwagaesan.
I think she went with them.
With the other people?
Yes.
Market in Gwanmiseong
Father!
Father...
Are these the people?
Yes, sir.
Please spare our lives.
We only said what we heard.
That's right. Please spare us.
Do you know how much worry your caused our people?
- Please spare us. - Please spare our lives.
Didn't you see me enter Gwanmiseong despite the Goguryeo army?
How dare you say Baekje will fall when there is an eclipse?
There is no eclipse.
I'm going to kill you right now.
Please spare us.
Spare our lives.
What are you doing? Kill them.
Yes, sir.
Stop!
They are just ordinary people.
You can't kill them for spreading rumors.
Are you lecturing me in front of these people and soldiers?
Arrest them and judge them later.
It isn't a decision to be made rashly.
They talked about the fall of Baekje.
It's treason.
They confused people during a time of battle.
I won't forgive any rumor that lowers the morale of our soldiers.
I won't.
No.
He's not wrong and it won't do you any good to confront him right now.
Did you forget what you said just a few hours ago?
Kill them right now!
Yes, sir.
- Kill them! - Yes, sir.
Please spare us.
Spare our lives.
Do not be shaken up.
I will defend Gwanmiseong!
My lord.
We are at war.
You should take refuge.
Take her to a safe place.
Yes, sir.
This way.
You endured that well.
You can't fight general Dae right now.
I only let him get away with it because the people were wavering.
We have to be on guard against general Dae's independent actions.
Yes, that's right.
I'm worried that today's actions will just have scared our people more.
There is a rumor that Baekje will fall when there is an eclipse.
Yes.
I think Goguryeo spies spread the rumor.
We've given orders to find anyone who is suspicious.
What do you think the reason is?
It can't just be to stir up the people.
Think about everything Ha Muji did in Wiryeseong.
There must be a reason.
Zhongsan, capital of Houyan
Tell prince Murong Xi that I will accept the order.
Chief, you want to help Houyan and attack Goguryeo?
What about the proposal from the Goguryeo king?
Seol Ji said trade would be guaranteed between Mohe and Goguryeo.
Refusing Houyan's proposal means becoming Houyan's enemy.
We won't even be able to leave Houyan safely.
I am going to accept Houyan's proposal.
I am also going to accept Goguryeo's proposal.
It's to our advantage that the battle between Goguryeo and Baekje ends soon.
We will have shown faith to Goguryeo and receive what they promised.
We will also have an excuse to present to Houyan.
I'm mad that this is what I have to do to protect our people.
I met Seol Doan and received an answer.
Is he going to do as we ask?
Yes, Your Majesty.
He was convinced when he saw the royal letter.
Good job.
You did well.
This is just the beginning.
I will take an army and go to fight Goguryeo.
Not yet.
What?
Wait.
We have to wait for the right chance.
Wait for what?
We convinced the Mohe and the Khitan.
Why do we have to wait?
For right now, Houyan only has to pressure Goguryeo.
If the northern area is shaken up,
the Goguryeo king won't be able to focus on the battle against Baekje.
He will become nervous and show his weakness.
With a small flap of our wings, we will be causing a storm in Goguryeo.
We just have to pretend to move with the surrounding nations.
As if we will attack Goguryeo.
It's just a strategy?
Yes.
Was this Ko Un's idea, too?
False information is an important strategy, too.
At times, you have to achieve victory with just information.
Ko Un presented the strategy to lessen my concerns.
Asin isn't to be taken lightly.
If Goguryeo can't take Gwanmiseong and loses the battle,
Houyan will get a chance.
If would be to Houyan's advantage to strengthen the Huabei area.
Two bowls of soup with rice.
Okay.
Gaettong's mom!
Is something wrong?
She's been really down since her husband went to battle.
I heard that Goguryeo is at a disadvantage.
That's not all.
Houyan, Mohe and other countries are making a move.
There are rumors everywhere.
Yeah?
Should I pack to take refuge?
You're always in a hurry to pack.
Wait.
His Majesty will send news of a victory.
Gungnaeseong palace
The situation isn't good at Gwanmiseong.
Is there a way to help them?
His Majesty didn't send any orders, but we're prepared.
If something happens, we will receive word quickly, so let's be prepared.
Prime minister.
Seol Ji, what brings you here?
Houyan is maneuvering surrounding nations to attack Goguryeo.
The target is Yodongseong.
What?
Where did you hear that?
I'm coming from Houyan.
His Majesty is in battle against Baekje?
How can this be? They know we're in battle.
They were prepared before that.
Nobody knows when there will be battle between Goguryeo and Baekje.
They were waiting for a chance.
We can't just talk about it.
We have to let His Majesty know and be prepared.
We didn't confirm anything yet.
We could just add confusion to our army if we send word now.
If Houyan is really going to attack Yodongseong,
His Majesty shouldn't be in Baekje.
In the worst case, he will have to leave that battle to another general
and return here to make plans to defend Yodongseong.
I agree.
Gwanmiseong is not ours yet. We'll just regret not getting it.
But Yodongseong belongs to Goguryeo. It will be a huge blow to lose it.
We should find out what's going on in Baekje.
The decision should be up to His Majesty.
I will go.
Okay, but be sure to tell His Majesty in private since this will affect the army.
Yes, sir.
Gwanmiseong, Baekje (15th day of siege warfare)
Your Majesty!
Gyodongdo, Goguryeo camp
Your Majesty!
All the soldiers who attacked the south gate are dead.
Over 40% of our soldiers are injured.
The south gate has strong defenses.
We can't attack just with vigor.
Find another spot we can attack.
Yes, Your Majesty.
It's already been 15 days.
Maybe we can't take over Gwanmiseong with just siege warfare.
That's right.
They're not opening the gates.
It's no use trying to lure them out.
It's making me really mad.
There aren't any changes where our unit is either.
Damages are increasing.
The defeat early on seems to have affected the soldiers' morale.
I know a way to open the gate.
You do?
Why didn't you say so before?
Were you going to wait until all our soldiers died?
Calm down.
There was a time for this plan.
I waited until I was sure.
Your Majesty, can I have a moment alone?
Why did he want us all to leave?
I don't know, but it must require a lot of sacrifices.
No way!
This is the only way to open the gate.
We can't do that.
Find another way.
I know it's an impregnable fortress, but we can't do that.
You promised to take my strategies into consideration.
I already spread rumors about the eclipse.
It's too dangerous.
We don't know if it will work.
I can't send my soldiers to their deaths.
There isn't much time.
You have to make a decision.
Please consider it.
Gwanmiseong, Baekje
What do you think the Goguryeo king is up to?
He's waiting for Baekje to fall on its own.
He used the eclipse to shake up the foolish people and
lower the morale of the soldiers.
It won't take a lot of work to get what he wants.
Fall on our own...
He sent Ha Muji to cause trouble between me and His Majesty.
He caused fear in the people and soldiers with the eclipse.
We have to find a way to avoid being played.
Do you have an idea?
Who put the people's heads on display?
It was ordered by general Dae.
He can't do this.
They are ordinary people.
He is trying to rule them with fear.
He is alienating himself from the people.
He is making my hostility for him grow even more.
I see.
That's what Goguryeo wants.
That's what Ha Muji intended.
I found a way to beat them.
My lord.
Where have you been?
Don't you have work to do?
Wasn't it enough to kill people? Did you have to display their heads?
It's a warning to everyone.
It's for the people and all the soldiers to see.
It only creates fear.
It's oppressive.
No wonder there's no discipline in Gwanmiseong.
Soldiers have no respect for superiors and the people say whatever they want.
Can you say this is the center of Baekje?
The reputation of Gwanmiseong was false and so were your abilities.
What is your basis for saying that?
If you helped me when I entered Gyodong, this battle would be over.
All this happened because you're so busy focusing on defense.
All you care about is defense.
It if wasn't for me, you would already be dead.
Don't you know that?
What?
Are you saying you will refuse His Majesty's order?
I'm the one giving orders.
It's not too late.
Take over command here.
Use whatever means you can and give a military order.
If Goguryeo can be defeated,
what does it matter who is in command and who achieves merit?
He is refusing His Majesty's order and showing contempt for me.
What will we do now?
I'll make him regret being so arrogant.
Asin.
Let's get to chief Yeon.
Yes, sir.
Your Majesty!
Did you find out?
We asked all the scouts.
They don't know what's going on.
Is this about the heads on display?
Yes.
There must have been some internal dispute.
They probably disobeyed a military order or they're spies.
Maybe they're traitors.
Whatever it was, it's certain that there was a bloody incident.
They seem to be very strict with military discipline.
Things are complicated internally despite their victory.
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
What is it?
A few chief Baekje generals want to surrender.
What?
Did you say surrender?
Yes.
Chief Baekje generals?
Is there really internal dispute?
Internal dispute...

This is a fake letter.
How about using their scheme to our advantage?
There's the signal.
Kill anyone who resists.
Stay close to the Baekje soldiers.
Houyan is moving suspiciously.
We only have two days left.
You must make a decision.
We are going to enter Gwanmiseong.
Your names will be remembered here.
