Asin!
Damdeok.
Damdeok is here.
Damdeok?
He should be in the north.
He tricked us.
Oh!
Your Majesty.
His Majesty is here!
Did he play me again?
Damdeok. Damdeok!
Please calm down.
What?
Everyone is looking to you for the next move.
You have to remain calm.
Your Majesty, you have to give an order.
We can't back down.
It's life or death.
Yeo Seokgae, what brings you here?
His Majesty and 30,000 Goguryeo soldiers landed in Gyodongdo.
You don't have to worry now.
We'll be alright.
Asin!
Surrender now.
If you do, I will spare your life.
Do you think I will beg for my life after all this humiliation?
A ruler should admit defeat.
I am not defeated yet.
If you want a true victory, kill me!
If that's your wish, okay.
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
Damdeok!
Seol Ji!
Your Majesty!
Damdeok.
Retreat!
Your Majesty.
You should go after them.
Hold still.
An enemy who flees can be captured any time.
You come first right now.
Take her inside right now.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Baekje camp, Hyeolgu (today's Ganghwado)
Get the doctor! Get the doctor!
Now!
Reorganize the army.
I'm going to attack Gwanmiseong again.
It's too late.
What do you mean?
We lost most of our soldiers and the ones who survived are low in morale.
Your Majesty, this battle is over.
Your Majesty!
Forget about Gwanmiseong for a while and raise power.
What's most important right now is the stability of Baekje.
Wait for the right time.
We will get another chance.
Damdeok. Damdeok.
Damdeok!
Goguryeo camp, Gwanmiseong
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty, it's a huge victory!
Yes, it was a fatal defeat for Baekje.
I didn't know you would come to Gwanmiseong.
It was all His Majesty's strategy.
He spread rumors he was going to Yodongseong.
You made them put their guard down.
That was an amazing strategy.
How about advancing straight to Wiryeseong?
No!
The nobility have tens of thousands of private soldiers.
It's too dangerous.
He is right.
It would be excessive to advance to Wiryeseong right now.
What about the Baekje prisoners?
They must be killed.
They will become great enemies if they hold weapons again.
Don't kill anyone.
Let them all go.
If I conquer Baekje, they will all become Goguryeo citizens.
But Your Majesty.
Stop.
Mo Duru, Gal Samu, continue to defend Gwanmiseong.
- Yes, Your Majesty. - Yes, Your Majesty.
General Hwang.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Go ahead as planned.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Ha Muji.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
Ha Muji.
Yes, Your Majesty.
If you want to remain my military advisor, distinguish a cool head from cruelty.
No life can be treated recklessly.
If you let petty emotions get in your way, you will not be able to rule the world.
It would be meaningless without people.
Value every citizen and soldier.
Don't forget it is their sweat and blood that will achieve our dream and future.
Yodongseong command center, Goguryeo
It's strange that Houyan and Biryeo stopped attacking for two days.
What are they up to?
It's probably because Ko Chang's unit is tying them down.
There is a limit to what they can do.
That's right.
We should send reinforcements, but we're lacking forces.
Why isn't the king of Goguryeo sending reinforcements?
Did he give up on the north?
Quiet!
I'm sorry.
It's alright.
I'm sure His Majesty is looking for a solution.
Let's wait.
I'm sure Biryeo heard that we joined hands with Goguryeo.
They will be wondering if they will be betrayed by Houyan, too.
Sure.
If we could make them waver, we could change the situation.
How can we convince them?
I will go to the Biryeo camp.
You?
Yes.
I will support the detached force and go to the Biryeo camp.
That's too dangerous.
Sure, but I want to show my loyalty to His Majesty.
Houyan, Biryeo camp
Biryeo seems to be wavering.
Did you think so, too?
It will be a huge blow for us if Biryeo wavers.
We have to gain their trust no matter what.
How can we do that?
Write a royal writ promising them land after the battle.
A royal writ?
You want me to make a royal promise?
Yes.
Also promise them Yowon, the land north of Yodong, if we win.
Yowon, too?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Gaining Biryeo's trust is most important right now.
Okay.
Be sure to convince Batar.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Chief.
Chief!
Biryeo command
Do you know this is enemy territory?
I could kill you right now and achieve merit.
Are you sure you will be recognized for that merit?
Do you know why I'm helping Goguryeo?
A loyal servant gives his life for a master who trusts him.
It's the same between countries.
Goguryeo can be trusted?
The Mohe have never been betrayed by Goguryeo.
Not once.
What can Goguryeo offer us?
Fair trade and supply of necessities.
That's for sure.
Think about it.
Don't have regrets like us.
We served Goguryeo once.
It's because you invaded Goguryeo territory.
This is a great opportunity for Biryeo, too.
You can restore faith with Goguryeo and cut off Houyan.
How can you guarantee that Goguryeo will do all that?
We are the proof.
We are shedding blood to help Goguryeo because they showed us faith.
Okay, I'll think about it and let you know.
Master.
They are...
That was Seol Doan, chief of the Mohe.
We have to capture them.
Not right now.
Why not?
Let them go.
They will bring larger prey soon.
Chief, those are petty offers.
There's no need to waver.
It's more realistic than what Houyan offered.
Seol Doan's suggestion is more believable.
Chief Batar.
What brings you here?
Here.
What is this?
It is a royal writ from the emperor saying he will keep his promise.
A royal writ?
Yes.
It must be carried out no matter what.
A promise from the Houyan emperor.
I'm sure the Mohe received a writ.
Why did they betray Houyan?
It isn't just that writ.
If we achieve victory, he will give you Yowon, the land north of Yodong.
Thank you, but I don't need a fake royal writ!
A fake royal writ?
How dare you?
I want a practical reward even if Houyan is defeated.
We will not be played like the Mohe.
Then be specific.
Tell me what Biryeo wants.
Your Majesty!
Houyan command
Your Majesty, we received news from Baekje.
What is it?
Baekje was defeated.
The king barely survived and fled to Wiryeseong.
Houyan and Baekje attacked at once. They couldn't even take a small fortress?
No, crown prince.
The king of Goguryeo suddenly appeared and attacked from behind.
Damdeok?
Yes, Your Majesty
He tricked everyone into thinking he was headed for Yodongseong.
He will head this way soon.
If he comes with more soldiers, we will be in a bind.
We have to take Yodongseong soon.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Damdeok will come by ship. It will be 10 days at the longest.
What about the plan to capture Ko Mu by using Ko Chang?
We need bait to carry out that plan.
Bait?
Who do you need?
The crown prince.
Ko Un, are you crazy?
Your plan is to put the crown prince in danger?
Ko Chang will try to capture him alive.
That's when we should make a move.
So it has to be me.
You just have to lure them to where we are waiting in ambush.
Can you guarantee it?
Can you guarantee Ko Chang's capture if I become bait?
I will guarantee it with my life.
Yodongseong command, Goguryeo
Are you sure Batar is wavering?
A person who was betrayed listens to the smallest things that can be trusted.
Give it a little more time.
General! General!
Oh!
If Goguryeo will forget about past grudges,
Biryeo will accept Seol Doan's suggestion and help Goguryeo.
It's as I hoped.
Is that all?
Murong Bao is headed to Gungnaeseong.
He is taking the path south of Tianshan Mountains.
That is important information.
This is good.
Can we trust him?
It seems he was convinced too easily.
They probably wavered when they saw us attack Houyan.
They had doubts regarding Houyan.
You should trust them like you trust us.
Take this message to Ko Chang.
Yes, sir.
General!
Detached forces base, outskirts of Yodongseong
A large army is being led by crown prince Murong Bao.
It's as the Khitan said.
Which direction?
The path south of Tianshan Mountains.
That area is flat land.
There aren't many places for ambushes.
Something's fishy.
They usually take narrow paths.
Why did they choose this wide path?
We could end this battle if we captured the crown prince.
They have to pass Gisim Valley.
Wait in ambush.
Yes, sir.
Get ready.
Yes, sir.
Let's go.
Gisim Valley, near Yodongseong
Crown prince Murong Bao must be captured alive.
Yes, sir.
Over there.
Those aren't enough soldiers to attack Gungnaeseong.
But it is Murong Bao in the lead.
They're in range.
Attack!
Shoot!
Retreat! Retreat!
Retreat!
They're going in the valley.
Murong Bao must be captured!
Capture Murong Bao!
Go!
Attack!
Hurry!
General!
What is it?
General Ko Chang headed to Gisim Valley after Murong Bao.
What?
Biryeo's information was correct.
We have to send reinforcements.
The detached forces won't be enough to fight the Houyan soldiers.
No.
That could put Yodongseong in danger.
We have to trust Ko Chang and general Bang Cho.
But general.
They knew what was at stake when they volunteered for the detached force.
Ko Chang is your only...
All the soldiers in battle are my sons.
Sacrifices have to be made to achieve a great will.
Even if it's family.
Capture Murong Bao!
Capture him!
General Ko Chang!
What is it?
Something's fishy.
Oh!
Attack! Attack!
Kill them!
It's an ambush!
We were tricked by Batar.
Which way should we retreat?
West.
There are many rocks. They can't follow by horse.
There is a path to Yodongseong.
- We will retreat west. - Yes, sir.
Retreat!
After them! Get them all!
After them!
It's been a long time.
I'm sorry,
but this path is blocked.
The crown prince is coming from that direction.
Do you want to greet him?
We have to pass through.
Charge!
The fish just jumped into the net.
Thank you.
Look who's here.
Hello, general Ko Chang.
I can't believe I fell for such a cheap trick.
It's all thanks to Ko Un.
I'm honored, crown prince.
Ko Un, you!
I will not let you get away with this.
His Majesty spared your life and this is what you do?
You should be embarrassed!
He sent assassins after me.
I lost everything that was precious to me.
I'm going to take revenge for everything I lost.
You can fight later.
Let Yodongseong know that we captured Ko Chang.
We have to capture Ko Mu.
Yes, crown prince.
Let Yodongseong know.
Yes, sir!
Fools.
You still don't know my father.
He considers Goguryeo to be more important than his own sons.
We'll see about that.
Take him to the main camp.
Yes, crown prince.
- Take him away! - Yes, sir!
Yodongseong
General!
We're in trouble!
What?
General Ko Chang and the Mohe were all captured.
What?
They were all captured?
Biryeo tricked us.
General, I...
Are the Mohe still on Houyan's side?
No.
Houyan knew Biryeo would waver and did something about it.
Biryeo chose Houyan.
Batar, I ought to...
General, what will we do?
They will contact us soon.
We'll just have to wait.
You must have a death wish!
Jin!
How long will it take to reach Yodongseong?
There is a headwind. It will take some time.
Have the soldiers row, too.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Why do you seem so anxious?
I have a bad feeling.
I hope Ko Mu is alright until I arrive.
There's no time.
Hurry!
Yes, Your Majesty!
Hurry!
- Hurry! - Hurry!
Please...
Father...
Don't move!
Yes, Your Majesty.
Let's go.
If you want to save your son, leave Yodongseong alone and come to me.
Prepare a horse.
What?
- General! - General.
This is all my fault.
Send me.
I know how sincere you are.
The Mohe is on Goguryeo's side.
I will go.
I have to do this.
You can't go!
I will ask His Majesty for forgiveness.
General.
Mo Duyeong, I have to do this.
I want my end to be as a father, not a commander of Goguryeo.
General!
Show me my son!
Bring the prisoners!
Yes, Your Majesty.
Let's go!
Let go!
Come on!
Father.
Go back.
It's not too late.
Go inside the fortress.
When Jin died and you cried...
I felt my heart being ripped to pieces.
Father.
I'm sorry.
This is all because I'm stubborn.
No.
You did what you could.
Father.
I will save you and the prisoners no matter what it takes.
No.
You can't do that.
Bring him back!
Yes, sir!
- Come on! - Don't do that!
Father!
No!
We're not close friends, but we fought against each other a long time.
You seem like a friend at times.
I thought of you as an enemy and a friend many times.
Let's avoid unnecessary sacrifices.
Let's settle this between the two of us.
You want to fight me?
We are both warriors.
I'm sure you have some bravado left in your heart.
Fine.
I accept your challenge.
If I win,
you must give up Yodongseong.
Say that after you make me fall.
Fine.
I will take your head as a war trophy.
Will you let all these prisoners go if I win?
Fine.
I will do that.
No, Your Majesty.
It could be a ploy.
A real man doesn't avoid a fair fight.
This fight has to take place.
Remember this.
It's not bad to have an enemy like him in your life.
Give me a spear.
