Your Majesty...
Your Majesty!
Father!
Chief, over there!
Reinforcements.
Our soldiers are here!
General, I will go with the Mohe.
Get ready.
Yes, chief.
No!
I will go.
No.
You have to defend Yodongseong.
Send me.
Your Majesty!
What's going on?
Why is there smoke at our camp?
Your Majesty!
Goguryeo soldiers are attacking our camp from the left.
What?
Goguryeo soldiers?
They're here already?
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
Your Majesty!
Goguryeo soldiers are attacking our camp from the right.
What?
The right, too?
You knew they were coming. How could you not be prepared?
They came up along the big river behind Yodongseong.
Get Ko Mu and the prisoners and defend the camp!
Now!
Yes, Your Majesty!
Hurry!
What are you doing?
I came to punish you.
What on earth are you talking about?
How dare you break off the alliance and injure a commander of Goguryeo?
How...
You will pay dearly.
Damdeok!
Goguryeo generals, bring me Murong Chui's head!
Your Majesty!
Seol Ji.
Father!
Your Majesty!
You have to get out of here.
You must go!
Ko Un.
What are you doing?
Don't talk to an enemy like that.
What?
I'm not Ko Un.
I'm a general of Houyan.
I will kill you!
Retreat!
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty, open your eyes.
Father! Father!
Are you alright?
Yes, my son.
Are you alright?
Father, I'm sorry.
I'm glad you're alright.
Father, hang in there!
Commander.
Your Majesty...
I'm sorry.
Don't say that.
Take him to Yodongseong!
Yes, Your Majesty!
- Let's go. - Yes, Your Majesty.
Commander.
Your Majesty, the battle...
Don't worry about the battle.
I will not forgive them.
I'm going to kill them all.
No.
Let them retreat.
What are you talking about?
I can't do that.
I wanted to prevent unnecessary sacrifices.
Murong Chui has been fatally injured.
Houyan will retreat soon.
You must end the battle now.
Public sentiment is important.
Focus on that.
You will become a king who rules the world.
I'm sorry I couldn't assist you to the end.
Please forgive me.
Grandfather.
Father...
Father!
General!
Houyan camp near Yodongseong
We will have to withdraw.
We can't withdraw now.
We can still fight.
That's right.
It was just a surprise attack by Damdeok.
We should reorganize and attack Yodongseong again.
We don't know how many soldiers Damdeok placed in the outskirts.
His Majesty's injury is serious.
We have to get him back to Zhongsan.
We will not withdraw.
We can't back down now that Damdeok is here.
We will have our revenge.
Houyan is commanding this battle.
Did you forget that?
Do you think you can fight Goguryeo without our help?
The crown prince is right.
Baekje lost, so Baekje can't present any threat to Goguryeo.
The Goguryeo soldiers are high in morale after that victory.
His Majesty's injury is serious.
The best thing to do right now is to take him back to Zhongsan
and reduce further damage to our forces.
Will the king of Goguryeo let us retreat?
It will be harder to retreat than attack.
If Damdeok wants revenge for Ko Mu, he will attack when we retreat.
Goguryeo will also want to avoid further sacrifices.
Their army is weak, too.
General...
Father...
Father. Father.
Father...
Father, this is all because I'm lacking.
Please forgive this undutiful son.
I gave my life in battle.
I was blessed to be able to serve Goguryeo all my life.
I only have one regret.
Not being able to assist you to the end.
I hope you achieve your great dream.
Gungnaeseong, capital of Goguryeo
The ministers will listen.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Commander Ko Mu passed away.
We will have to go forward with his will in our hearts.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Public sentiment worsened from battles and national affairs aren't in order.
I'm going to take care of them one by one.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Ha Muji, tell us what you planned.
Yes, Your Majesty.
We will have to build seven fortresses to prevent Baekje from attacking again.
The areas include Gaepung, Gangnyeong, Yeonghan, etc.
By building fortresses in these areas,
we can put up a guard against Baekje and establish outposts for defense.
Ha Muji and Hwang Hoe will be in charge of that.
Discuss it with general Mo Duru.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Establish a new defense line in the north, too.
Yes, Your Majesty.
We must also focus on Biryeo.
We will return to Mohe and watch them.
We will send you reports.
Do that.
Your contribution was great in this battle.
I will focus on friendlier relations.
We are extremely grateful.
Zhongsan, capital of Houyan
How is he?
How long will it take for him to recover?
Father.
I heard general Ko Mu died.
Yes.
He died in Yodongseong and they had a grand funeral in Gungnaeseong.
Ko Mu died.
Ko Mu...
Send a condolence delegation.
What are you talking about?
He was an enemy, but he was also an old friend.
If I died, Ko Mu would have made a condolence call.
I'm sending a delegation because I can't go in this condition.
Your Majesty, I will go.
It's no place for you.
It's Goguryeo.
I'm sorry.
That's not what I mean.
They could kill you.
It is an act of showing Houyan's dignity.
I would do it even if it meant my life.
They will not spare your life.
I have a way.
Did you hear the news?
I hear you're sending a condolence delegation.
Please allow me to go.
That won't be allowed.
Ko Un,
I mean, Murong Un, is going to go.
Murong Un?
I became the crown prince's stepson.
What?
I need many talented people to lead Houyan.
I accepted Ko Un, I mean, Murong Un, as my stepson.
Treat him with special care.
Murong Xi's quarters Ku Un, no, Murong Un.
He has great wit and ambition.
He decided to become a part of the royal family for his revenge.
Goguryeo has a great enemy now.
That's not all.
He is in line for royal power.
He could go after my position.
You have to do something.
What can I do...
- Mu Gap. - Yes, prince.
I have something for you to do.
Whatever you need.
Just give me the order.
I trust your loyalty.
If you succeed with this, I will make you a general.
Did you say general?
Thank you. Thank you.
Gungnaeseong palace
Did you want to see me?
Yes.
I'd like you to manage the spies in each country.
Are you putting me in charge of the information structure?
Yes.
Gae Yeonsu did that before he died.
It's important to know the enemy.
You have to become my eyes and my ears.
I will do that.
I have the maps of all the countries in my head.
That's not all.
You have to know about the fortress lords and how the people are living.
This must be just between the two of us.
I will do my best.
I know it's to put up your guard against your servants.
Near the Goguryeo-Baekje border
What is it?
There's something strange.
What's strange?
This land was awarded by Ko Mu to the families of soldiers who died.
But the owner is Gye Song and his clan.
Gye Song?
Yes.
This the official property ledger.
Are you saying Gye Song took land that was awarded to the farmers?
I ought to...
- Yeo Seokgae. - Yes.
We can't rush to judgment.
We have to investigate this.
If this is true, it will be a cause of concern for His Majesty.
He is very strict about corruption among government officials.
Your Majesty.
Did you want to see me?
Here is your first task.
What?
This is the property ledger for the land for the new fortresses.
General Hwang brought it.
It's too perfect.
That's strange.
Investigate this matter in secret.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
What is it?
An envoy arrived from Houyan.
An envoy?
It is a condolence delegation for commander Ko Mu.
What?
Ko Un is the leader of the delegation.
Ko Un!
How dare you show up in Goguryeo?
How dare you show up so brazenly?
Your Majesty!
Give me an order.
I will kill him and take revenge for commander Ko Mu, then take my life.
How we treat envoys tells a lot about Goguryeo.
I know you're mad, but this kind of attitude will be cause for mockery.
Are we just to sit here and look at an enemy who killed commander Ko Mu?
That's right.
He must be punished in the name of Goguryeo.
This is the Goguryeo court. Think about Goguryeo's dignity.
That's enough.
What did you come to find out?
His Majesty ordered this delegation.
He said to pay condolence to his old friend, commander Ko Mu.
Condolence?
He sent the person who took commander Ko Mu's life as the delegation leader?
This seems like mockery to me.
His Majesty is sincere.
Take out any grudges against me after we pay condolence.
How dare you?
He is crown prince Murong Un, the crown prince's stepson.
What?
Prince Murong Un?
This is royal wine from the emperor.
I would like to offer a glass at the shrine in the emperor's place.
Ko Mu's shrine
Don't you feel any guilt at all?
Commander Ko Mu's death might be of great sorrow to Goguryeo,
but it is just the death of an enemy commander to us.
Ko Un!
It's Murong Un, Your Majesty.
No, you will always be Ko Un to me.
You were a loyal servant of Goguryeo.
That's just stubbornness.
How long are you going to waste time in Houyan by betraying Goguryeo?
It's not a waste of time.
I have become a prince of Houyan.
I'm going to give my life for Houyan.
Do you think you will be comfortable doing that?
Even your father wanted to protect this land.
You're going to abandon Goguryeo?
Yes, I am.
I am going to abandon it completely.
Houyan accepted me.
I will raise power and become the center.
I will point my spear at Goguryeo since it killed my father and only sister.
Then do your best.
When you reach the top and we meet again,
I will show you how foolish your choice was.
We will see who the foolish one was.
Hongmae! Two bowls of soup.
Jang. Jang.
Over there. Gungnaeseong market tavern
Oh, that's...
He is Do Gwang, the officer who served Ko Chang.
He came with Ko Un as part of the Houyan envoy.
What?
He's an evil traitor.
I ought to cut off his head.
Wait. Wait.
Watch what you say.
He's an envoy from Houyan.
He's no envoy.
He's a traitor.
I'm glad you're here. Look.
Do Gwang...
Am I glad to see you. I'll kill you today.
He's drunk.
You ought to rot in a toilet for 300 years.
How can you drink?
Let go of him.
Move! Don't try to stop me!
Stop it!
Ko Chang.
I know how you feel.
Do Gwang.
You should offer a drink to my father.
There is a shrine at my house.
General...
Prince!
Envoy quarters, Gungnaeseong
Prince!
Did you look around?
Yes.
There isn't anything important.
They are building seven fortresses near the border to prevent Baekje from invading.
Other than that, everything is peaceful.
They're building seven fortresses in the south?
Where?
Gaepung, Gangnyeong, Cheongdan, Yonghyeon...
Wait.
Did you say Yonghyeon?
Yes.
Isn't that near Nambangseong where Gye Song was the lord?
That's right.
Send someone to watch carefully.
There should be something there.
Yes, master.
I mean prince.
What are you thinking?
We can't just pay condolence and leave.
We need to return with results.
It seems like they're investigating something important.
Yes.
Prince, I will get you Murong Un's head.
Prince.
Here.
It was taken from the people.
It's similar to Garyeom's incident at Ichunseong.
Did you check the ledger?
It seems like it was falsified.
There aren't any problems.
Gye Song... Gye Song...
I have to go to his place.
What are you talking about?
What corruption?
I know you falsified the property ledger of the land near Nambangseong.
How dare you say such a thing without any proof?
I'm sure you know why Garyeom, lord of Ichunseong, was executed.
If His Majesty finds out, he will kill you and your family.
I didn't do anything wrong.
There is proof.
Garyeom had proof, too.
Corruption is revealed just like that.
You've been a loyal servant of Goguryeo.
You shouldn't have to die because of a little corruption.
You have to find a way to live?
What is that?
I know a way.
I can help you.

What is that way?
Abandon Goguryeo.
Where did you go at this late hour?
I had some business to take care of.
Is it something I can't know?
You don't have to worry.
He's up to something.
Gye Song is corrupt.
How dare he?
If Gye Song and Murong Un met...
It's secret information about Goguryeo.
