Your Majesty.
What is it.
Your Majesty.
Doyeong!
Doyeong.
Your Majesty.
You're not back to stay?
Baekje is involving Dongjin and Houyan to defeat Goguryeo.
What?
I came to ask you to prevent barbarians from entering our land and hurting people.
Baekje is making a bad move.
I stayed with the people and realized they fear battle the most.
They suffer the cruelty of battle firsthand.
Your Majesty.
Please prevent innocent people from being sacrificed by battle.
You must prevent that.
I will do that.
You gave me your word.
Please keep your promise this time.
Doyeong.
I am going to protect you, the people and our land.
So, stay by my side.
I am going to be with the people who suffer from battle.
If you want to save me, save the people first.
Your Majesty.
Command center, Heunganseong, Goguryeo
Your Majesty, what is it?
We have to rush the battle against Baekje.
Is there a reason for that?
Baekje is trying to involve Houyan and Dongjin.
What?
Dongjin: Most powerful nation in the south part of the Central Plain at the time.
Dongjin, too?
Now that they recovered Gwanmiseong, they will want to attack Goguryeo.
I'm sure they asked for reinforcements.
This is going to be complicated.
It will be an international war.
We have to end the battle before they reach our land.
Ha Muji, plan some strategies.
There's no time. Hurry!
Yes, Your Majesty.
Ha Muji's quarters, Heunganseong
Sir, did you want to see me?
You must deliver this no matter what.
The fate of Goguryeo depends on it.
If I'm discovered there, my life...
Use all means possible.
It must be delivered.
Go on.
Yes, sir.
Checkpoint near Wiryeseong
Stop.
Listen.
I'm going to get off here.
What?
I am not returning to Wiryegung.
What do you mean?
You should return to...
Who are you?
My lady.
Take these Goguryeo spies!
Yes, sir!
Asin's office, Wiryeseong
Un?
Doyeong.
Explain this situation.
How can she?
She is a Goguryeo spy. She just met Damdeok.
Is that true?
Yes.
How can you be so bold about betraying me?
I went to ask him to prevent barbarians from trampling all over the people on this land.
If that is betrayal and being a spy, I won't deny it.
A lying friend is worse than an enemy.
They will help Baekje now,
but they will keep the people and try to take this land.
How can you not know that?
Confine her to her room and don't let her go out.
Yes, Your Majesty
Take her away!
Yes, sir.
Do you agree with her?
My only goal is to kill Damdeok.
I will support Baekje in any way I can.
I don't trust you anymore.
You won't be able to leave the envoy's quarters without my orders.
- Take him away! - Yes, Your Majesty.
Damdeok, you keep getting in the way.
Don't be too upset.
This could be better.
Now that he knows about Dongjin and Houyan, he will be desperate.
He will make a mistake if he rushes things.
We must not make any mistakes.
Strengthen our defenses.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Wiryeseong prison
Tell me right now!
Spiteful fool.
What did you find out?
They're strong willed.
They haven't said a word.
This is poison from Dongjin.
It's poison from a sea snake.
It will cause the skin to rot.
You will die a slow and painful death.
If you surrender now, you can be an officer of Baekje.
Go ahead and poison me, but you'd better kill me.
If I survive, I will rip you to pieces!
Stop! Stop!
I will tell you everything.
Gal Samu!
Do you really want to die?
I have no choice.
I can't let you die like this!
I'm not afraid of dying.
How can you betray His Majesty and Goguryeo?
What good is all that if you're going to die?
Be quiet!
If you cooperate, he will be spared and the Goguryeo soldiers won't suffer.
Goguryeo will try to retake Gwanmiseong.
Gwanmiseong?
They must know it is an impregnable fortress.
We made a secret passageway.
It was a measure to retake Gwanmiseong in case we lost it.
A secret passageway?
Yes.
It leads to the mountain outside the south gate.
The army will come that way.
Are you sure?
It might be too late if they moved quickly.
Secret passageway, Gwanmiseong, Baekje
Did you think your scheme would work?
Sir.
You'll die like dogs.
Lower your weapons and I will spare your lives.
Lower your swords!
Command center, Heunganseong, Goguryeo How did they know about our secret passageway?
How should I know?
Look here!
We have to think about this.
The enemy has access to our military secrets.
General Mo Duru knows everything.
He would die before he revealed our secrets.
How can you be suspicious of one of our generals?
Then how did they know about it?
We should be discussing a plan, not fighting.
Your Majesty, how about burning their fleet?
Attack with fire?
If one boat caught on fire, it would spread to the other boats.
That's a very good idea.
I will select Cheongun who are good at diving.
It is a dark moon. They should be able to move covertly.
I will find a way to help them.
We must retake Gwanmiseong.
Move quickly!
Yes, Your Majesty!
Inlet at Gwanmiseong, Baekje
One move and you will all die.
Hey!
Your Majesty!
Command center, Wiryeseong, Baekje
They caught all the soldiers who tried to burn our fleet.
It is exactly as Gal Samu said.
We have practically won this battle.
I think we can believe what Gal Samu says.
It's a bit too easy.
They won't just sit and take this.
There's no need to worry.
There is nothing they can do without control of Gwanmiseong.
Drink some water.
Gal Samu!
General.
Do you think you will be able to live after betraying your country?
We have no choice.
Even if we return to Goguryeo, we will be traitors.
What?
Traitors?
Yes.
They will think you betrayed Goguryeo.
Get lost!
His Majesty would never believe I betrayed Goguryeo.
My death will prove my loyalty.
What's the use of being loyal if you can't live?
Honor is more important than life.
Nobody cares about that honor.
The Goguryeo court won't care about your loyalty.
Just kill me.
Kill me now!
You can't even die at will.
Betrayal can be another opportunity.
Command center, Heunganseong, Goguryeo How can our plans keep failing?
Shouldn't you come up with measures?
As expected, they seem to know what our move will be.
We need a special plan.
Let's make a full-scale attack.
We just have to attack Wiryeseong and kill Asin.
It isn't time yet.
You want us to sit around and wait?
They know our every move.
How long do we have to wait?
Listen.
I'm going to meet Asin.
I will ask him to surrender.
Your Majesty.
Surrender?
He would die before he surrendered.
That's right.
Why do you want to do such a dangerous thing?
Your Majesty, your life will be...
There will be no need for battle if he surrenders.
If he refuses, we will attack Wiryeseong right away.
General Mo Duyeong, go to Wiryeseong and let Asin know.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Ha Muji, prepare well while I buy some time.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Asin.
Command center, Wiryeseong, Baekje
He wants to meet me?
Does he want to surrender?
I don't know what His Majesty is thinking.
Fine.
Then we will see you near the border tomorrow.
Your Majesty, this is a ploy.
Damdeok is just trying to stall for time.
That's right.
They have no water route and they are having trouble at Gwanmiseong.
We should just annihilate them.
There is no need to meet him.
If it is an effort to stop the battle, we should listen.
There is no reason to continue a battle our people don't want.
If we could end the battle without any bloodshed, that would be best.
But we are at an advantage.
The fastest way to end the battle right now is for us to win.
We can decide that after I meet Damdeok.
If things don't go the way I want, I will fight Damdeok and Goguryeo.
I will defeat him.
Temporary site of Goguryeo-Baekje talks
Goguryeo couldn't have been affected by two defeats.
Why did you want to meet me?
What is your goal of this battle?
The goal of this battle?
To win and have the rights of a victor.
So, if you involve Dongjin and Houyan to achieve a victory,
where will those rights go?
They are merely helping Baekje.
Do you think they will help Baekje for no reason?
If you achieve victory with their help, you will lose more than you gain.
How can you explain Mohe and Biryeo? They helped Goguryeo.
They helped us for their own survival.
They knew they couldn't achieve independence without help.
They chose Goguryeo for that.
Dongjin and Houyan are complete foreigners who don't share our blood.
On the other hand, Goguryeo and Baekje share the same blood.
Can't you distinguish a friend and an enemy?
A lying friend is worse than an enemy.
They will help Baekje now,
but they will keep the people and try to take this land.
How can you not know that?
I am not fighting Baekje to gain the rights of a victor.
It's for people who share the same blood to join forces to stop foreign forces
and further conquer the Central Plain.
Whether you win or lose, fight on your own.
Defeat me with your strength and the strength of your people.
Embrace your people with the dignity and generosity of a ruler.
Then even if I was defeated, I would accept defeat.
Only with Baekje's strength?
That is the only way to protect your pride and the people and land of Baekje.
Fine.
I will fight you without any outside help.
I will conquer Goguryeo and expand to the continent.
Wiryeseong, capital of Baekje
Did you send envoys to Dongjin and Houyan?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Cancel the request for reinforcements.
What are you talking about?
Damdeok is right.
This battle is between Baekje and Goguryeo.
We should wait a little before...
It's no use if it isn't with our strength.
A victory achieved with their help will become shackles for us.
The people will have to pay too great a price.
This isn't the time to be sentimental.
We don't know how things will turn.
Baekje has an alliance with Houyan.
They weren't on our land then.
I will fight Damdeok and defeat him.
Command center, Heunganseong, Goguryeo
Ha Muji.
Isn't it time to really fight Baekje now?
What do you mean?
Yes, Your Majesty.
We are ready thanks to the time you bought us.
Tell everyone the specific plan.
Yes, Your Majesty
I leaked information about the secret passageway and fleet.
General Mo Duru and Gal Samu successfully carried out the plan.
Gal Samu didn't really betray us?
It was groundwork for a greater plan.
General.
What is that greater plan?
Attacking from three directions.
What?
Attacking from three directions?
Yes.
Just tell us!
We will attack from three directions all at once.
Gwanmiseong, Horogoruseong and Wiryeseong.
We needed time for our naval forces to reach Jangsagot and
for soldiers to gather at Horogoruseong.
His Majesty met the king of Baekje to buy us that time.
What if Baekje involves Houyan and Dongjin anyway?
We just have to end the battle before then.
Asin will kneel before reinforcements from Dongjin and Houyan arrive.
Asin will not surrender that easily.
He wouldn't sacrifice his people to save his own life.
This is going to be a true battle.
Prepare with swiftness.
Yes, Your Majesty!
Asin.
Goguryeo failed to retake Gwanmiseong.
They will gather forces at Horogoruseong.
The Chiljungha upstream is shallow.
Cavalry soldiers could cross easily. Chiljungha: Today's Imjingang River
The Byeonggwanjwapyeong will take half our forces to Horogoruseong.
Yes, sir.
What if they come by boat?
Our naval forces are ready at Gwanmiseong and Hyeolgu.
They won't be able to defeat our naval forces and come by Hansu. Hansu: Today's Hangang River
That's right.
Goguryeo wanted to retake Gwanmiseong to attack Wiryeseong using naval forces.
They won't be able to use naval strategies since the water route is blocked.
There is only one place they can go.
Right there.
Horogoruseong.
That is right.
Horogoruseong...
Gwanmiseong coast, Baekje
Enemy boats! Turn the boat around!
According to scouts, the king of Goguryeo is leading them in golden armor.
We were told they were coming by land!
They're aiming for our weak spot.
Raise a fire signal.
Send a messenger saying Damdeok appeared at Gwanmiseong.
Go now!
Yes, sir!
Everyone to defense positions!
Raise a fire signal. Send a fire signal to Wiryeseong!
Your Majesty! Command center, Wiryeseong, Baekje
Your Majesty!
We are in trouble!
What's all the commotion about?
There is a fire signal.
A fire signal?
From where?
Gwanmiseong.
It's from Gwanmiseong.
Gwanmiseong?
Didn't you say they were going to Horogoruseong?
Who is leading them?
Well...
The king of Goguryeo.
What? Damdeok?
What is he doing at Gwanmiseong?
Send reinforcements now!
Half our forces are already headed to Horogoruseong.
Select some of the soldiers here and send them to Gwanmiseong.
Then we will lack forces to defend Wiryeseong.
We can call back the soldiers who headed to Horogoruseong.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Horogoruseong, Baekje
That's...
We are to return to Wiryeseong.
Prepare to go.
- Hurry! - Yes, sir!
General, there are enemy forces.
What?
There is a large Goguryeo army near Horogoruseong.
What?
Who is leading it?
The king of Goguryeo in golden armor.
Raise a fire signal and send a messenger to Wiryeseong.
Tell them Damdeok showed up just as the military advisor expected.
Yes, sir.
Wiryeseong, capital of Baekje
Your Majesty!
We are in trouble!
We received word that Damdeok appeared at Horogoruseong.
What?
He is at Gwanmiseong. How can he be at Horogoruseong?
It's a ploy.
What?
It was a ploy to weaken defenses at Wiryeseong.
Then Damdeok is...
He will probably head here with his Central Army.
How can he cross Hansu?
Damdeok.
Damdeok!
In 396, King Gwanggaeto gathered forces at Horogoruseong.
They crossed the shallow upstream of Imjingang River and attacked Wiryeseong.
The soldiers who pretended to attack Gwanmiseong turned around and
attacked Wiryeseong form the west.
With Baekje focused on the east and west, the north was relatively weak.
King Gwanggaeto attacked from the north. It was a blow to Baekje's weak spot.
Damdeok!

I will be right in front of you.
Do not be afraid!
Take Wiryeseong and capture Asin as soon as possible.
Attack!
Your Majesty, you must get out of here.
If we lose, there is no Baekje.
They already secured several towers.
The gate will open soon.
How can you beat me with such a slow sword?
I still have the strength to cut off your head.
Stop!
Your Majesty.
Doyeong.
