Damdeok.
Damdeok, you!
Three men in golden armor.
We were completely tricked.
Gal Samu... I ought to...
What about our forces that headed to Gwanmiseong?
It will take them half a day.
How many soldiers do we have left here?
Your Majesty, I think you should leave Wiryeseong for a while.
Leave?
You want me to abandon Wiryeseong?
We don't have enough soldiers to defend Wiryeseong.
The soldiers of Baekje will listen.
We don't need any strategies in this station.
We have to fight head on.
We have to fight with a resolve that we could die here.
I will be right here in front of you.
Do not be afraid.
Yes, Your Majesty.
How many soldiers are left in the fortress?
They only have enough to defend Wiryeseong.
We have to minimize damage to our forces.
Use fire.
Yes, Your Majesty.
We must take Wiryeseong and capture Asin as quickly as possible.
Is that understood?
Yes, Your Majesty!
Attack!
- Shoot arrows! - Shoot arrows!
Throw oil!
Shoot arrows!
Shoot fire arrows!
Take Wiryeseong!
Ladder unit, advance!
Stop them!
Your Majesty, you have to get out of here.
They have 10 times more soldiers.
Your Majesty, you must go!
That is the only way for our soldiers to survive.
No way.
If we lose, there is no Baekje.
This is our only hope.
Your Majesty!
They already secured several towers.
They will open the gate soon.
Damdeok, I ought to...
Abandon the fortress!
Your Majesty!
I will open up a path.
This way.
Abandon the fortress!
Find Asin.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Find Asin!
It looks like Baekje was completely tricked.
We have to get out of here.
I have to get Doyeong.
Prepare to leave Baekje.
Master.
Prince.
What about you?
Don't worry.
I will get out alive.
Master.
Come on.
This way. Hurry.
What are you doing?
Take her away!
Yes, sir!
Let's go!
Doyeong.
Prince.
There are too many soldiers. They could kill you.
Get out of my way!
If you go now, you will both die!
- Open the gate! - Open the gate!
Damdeok!
Lower your sword.
We'll see the end of this right here.
Your Majesty!
How will you beat me with such a weak arm?
I still have the energy to cut off your head.
Stop!
Doyeong.
Bu Yeohong, you...
Your Majesty...
Asin.
Were you this much of a coward?
What?
Where did your confidence to fight boldly disappear to?
You lost in battle, strategy and justification.
I came this far by fighting fairly.
This situation wasn't my intention.
Don't make pathetic excuses!
Bu Yeohong!
Yes, Your Majesty.
Let her go right now.
Your Majesty!
Didn't you hear me?
This is a fight between me and Damdeok.
I cannot obey that order.
Your life is most important to us.
Have your soldiers retreat or she will die.
Bu Yeohong, are you going to disobey me?
I cannot obey that order.
Are you going to let her die?
You...
Doyeong.
Your Majesty!
Protect His Majesty!
Your Majesty!
Protect His Majesty!
Kill Damdeok!
We just have to kill Damdeok.
You have to get out of here!
- Come on! - Doyeong!
- Master! - Doyeong!
Asin.
Yeon Salta!
Lady Doyeong!
No!
Doyeong.
Why? Why!
Why?
Why!
Why did you do that?
If he dies at your hands, there will be a lasting grudge.
Doyeong.
Please end this battle.
Okay.
Don't talk.
Your Majesty.
Please end the battle.
Don't leave any grudges for your descendants.
Save the people.
I was never disappointed with you.
Let go of all the burden you have because of me.
Doyeong.
Doyeong!
Prince.
- Move! - They will kill you.
Doyeong! Doyeong!
Hurry.
They will come after us.
Master.
Stop! Stop!
Stop!
I give up.
I have been completely defeated.
Cut off my head now.
Do you still not know why Doyeong died?
It was for us to join forces and open up a future for Goguryeo and Baekje.
If I kill you now, don't you know the people of Baekje will only have regrets and suffering?
How dare you take your life lightly when her intention was so deep?
Wiryeseong court
I wanted to fight you to the end.
But that was just ambition as a general.
I have the responsibility to protect my people.
Please preserve the soul of Baekje.
Please respect us so our traditions and beliefs can be passed down.
Then I will gladly be Goguryeo's servant.
If you do not agree to that,
I will fight to the end even if Baekje turns into ashes.
I don't want Baekje to turn into ashes.
I, king of Baekje, admit defeat and surrender to Goguryeo.
I will be a servant of Goguryeo forever.
Hurray for Goguryeo!
Hurray for Baekje!
Hurray for Goguryeo!
Hurray for Baekje!
Hurray for Goguryeo!
This isn't to distinguish a winning nation and a losing nation.
It is to forget about all our battles and join forces in taking the first step for a new future.
Asin.
Yes, Your Majesty.
My dream is for our three-legged crow flag to hang in the vast continent.
We share the same blood.
Will you advance to the vast continent with me?
I will do everything I can to do that.
According to King Gwanggaeto's monument,
King Gwanggaeto surrounded the capital of Baekje in 396.
The king of Baekje surrendered.
1,000 people and 1,000 rolls of fabric were offered and
swore to be a to be a servant forever.
Baekje was never conquered before. King Gwanggaeto forgave Baekje.
He returned to Gungnaeseong with Bu Yeohong and ten ministers.
King Gwanggaeto established a basis to focus on attacking the Central Plain.
Gungnaeseong, capital of Goguryeo
The problem we have now is Houyan.
General Mo Duyeong.
We don't have to worry about Biryeo, Mohe or Baekje.
We have to attack Houyan now.
This isn't the time.
Your Majesty, the soldiers are all exhausted from all the battles.
Houyan didn't make a move, but we don't know when they will.
I would like to go to Houyan.
You would?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Princess Damju gave birth to a son recently.
I could congratulate her.
I would like to make the trip myself. It's a good chance to check out the situation in Houyan.
There is something I'm concerned about, too.
The power struggle between Murong Bao and Murong Xi?
You knew about that?
I expected that much.
If there is internal dispute, we can move up the time table for your great plan.
Alright, go with Seol Ji.
Yes.
Your Majesty and...
What is it?
You will have to send a more trustworthy general to Biryeo.
That's right.
They submitted to us,
but we don't know when they will start another rebellion.
I would like to go.
You must lead Cheongun.
Cheongun has established its position.
It is a main force of the Goguryeo army.
Someone greater than me should lead Cheongun now.
Is this because of Doyeong?
Fine, you may go to Biryeo for a while.
Your worries will go away in time.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Zhongsan, capital of Houyan
I have returned from Baekje.
I didn't think you'd come back.
Why did you come back?
What do you mean? My loyalty is to Houyan.
Loyalty?
Is the result of your loyalty a defeat against Goguryeo?
The court suspects that you are a spy for Goguryeo.
Do you know that?
Everything I did up to now was for you.
I went to Baekje for Houyan and you.
He wasn't defeated on purpose.
Why are you so mad at him?
This is none of your business!
Damju's quarters, Houyan
Hello, princess.
I am the military advisor, Ha Muji.
I am Chongmyeong.
I am Seol Ji.
You came a long way.
What brings the military advisor all the way to Houyan?
I wanted to get a grasp of the situation here.
Do you know how things are between Murong Bao and Murong Xi?
I think Murong Xi is trying to gain more power.
I also heard that Murong Xi is meeting Ko Un often.
Murong Xi and Ko Un...
I am Ha Muji from Goguryeo.
I came in place of His Majesty to congratulate princess Damju.
They didn't have to send a military advisor for that.
I would like to request a conversation in private.
Will you allow it?
Fine.
Leave us.
But...
I said leave us.
Why did you want to speak to me in private?
I heard you were in danger.
What does that have to do with Goguryeo?
If the emperor passes away, you will become the emperor.
But prince Murong Xi's power is growing too much.
How is that any of your business?
If anything happened to you,
it might have a bad effect of princess Damju, too.
Are you saying I can't even handle Murong Xi?
No.
I'm just telling you how people are seeing things right now.
Go and tell the king of Goguryeo.
Nothing will happen to princess Damju because of me.
Yes, crown prince.
I will tell him.
Prince Murong Xi wants to talk to you.
Did you want to see me?
Did you talk about something I shouldn't hear?
That's not it.
His Majesty wanted me to congratulate him personally.
Congratulate him?
For having a son?
Well, that and the crown prince will take the throne soon.
How dare you?
The emperor is still on the throne.
Why is Goguryeo talking about our throne?
There's no need to get mad.
Let me just say one more thing.
The crown prince was taken prisoner by Goguryeo before.
Even if he became the emperor, Goguryeo wouldn't be afraid.
How dare you?
Do you think I will allow such talk?
You should worry about your safety first.
What?
I heard the two of you are very competitive.
If he takes the throne, what do you think he will do to you?
Outside envoy's quarters, Houyan palace
Gungnaeseong, capital of Goguryeo
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty.
This is a secret letter from Houyan.
Ha Muji says there is great tension between Murong Bao and Murong Xi.
Did you think of all this?
Yes.
If Murong Bao eliminates Murong Xi,
Houyan will lose an able general and a pillar of Houyan.
If Murong Xi tries to overpower Murong Bao, there will be internal dispute.
I would never have thought of causing internal dispute.
What if Murong Xi gains power?
Princess Damju could fall in danger.
Murong Bao will take the throne.
How can you be so sure?
Murong Chui might be ill, but he must know the situation.
Murong Xi could kill Murong Bao.
Since the fate of Houyan in on the line, he will seek a solution.
If Murong Xi commits treason,
we will attack and justify it with the protection of Damju's son.
Murong Xi's quarters, Houyan Prince.
What brings you here?
I'm sure you have many worries. I came to lessen your burden.
Worries?
Do you want Houyan to fall?
What are you talking about?
A struggle for the throne will lead to the fall of Houyan.
Even if an able person becomes the emperor?
Everything must be done in sequence.
If you make a move now, it will only cause internal dispute.
I don't want to hear it!
The person Houyan needs for the future isn't Bao.
It is me.
Prince.
Murong Chui's quarters
What did you find out?
As you suspected, prince Murong Xi's actions are a bit suspicious.
Does the crown prince know?
Yes, he seems to know.
Prince Murong Xi invited the crown prince for his birthday.
An invitation to his birthday...
My brother, happy birthday.
Hello, have a seat.
I wouldn't miss this for anything.
Bring the wine I prepared.
Yes, prince.
You prepared wine?
I have a special wine just for you.
Is that so?
We've been a bit distant.
Here.
The emperor is here.
This is nice.
- Father. - Father.
Why are you so surprised?
Can't I come to my son's birthday party?
You are still ill...
I'm alright.
I'd like to have a drink with my two sons today.
Pour me a drink.
Come on.
Yes, father.
