Damdeok, I am finally going to end this awful relationship with you.
Awful relationship?
You are the ones who made it so awful.
That's nonsense.
You are the ones who invaded Xianbei land.
Stop making excuses.
Come on!
Your Majesty, you have to go.
The fortress has been taken.
We will take care of them.
You must go!
Retreat!
We must capture Damdeok!
After him!
Retreat!
Your Majesty!
What is it?
Something's wrong.
Why did you stop pursuing him?
We have to go after them.
There might be an ambush.
An ambush?
There are too few soldiers at Namsoseong.
That means quite a large number got out of the fortress.
They could be waiting in ambush.
Your Majesty, victory is near.
We can capture Damdeok.
General Fengba!
Murong Un is right.
We've been ambushed too many times.
Your Majesty, we shouldn't be too greedy.
We have to be prudent.
It's too bad, but we can't lower morale by being ambushed.
You should send some scouts.
Send scouts.
We'll wait here.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Send scouts!
Yes, sir.
Your Majesty.
How did it go?
They must have been worried about an ambush.
They're not the same as before.
They are pretty well prepared.
Commander, you have a strong enemy.
Don't worry, Your Majesty.
We can stop them.
You will have to give all the orders now.
I am going to Silla.
Don't try to fight them. Just tie them down.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Houyan should have received good news by now.
The emperor will be surprised.
Yes.
I'm going to Silla.
Good luck, Your Majesty.
You, too.
Let's go!
Yes, Your Majesty.
Houyan command, Namsoseong
How long has it been since we has such a pleasant victory?
They couldn't even handle this much.
I never thought they would abandon Namsoseong.
Your Majesty.
We are only five days from Gungnaeseong.
Now that we have Sinseong and Namsoseong,
the other fortresses should be ours soon.
We'll carry on at this speed.
It's a matter of time before we get Gungnaeseong.
Everything seems a bit too easy.
What do you mean?
Namsoseong is the gateway to Gungnaeseong.
It's strange that they would give it up so easily.
It could be part of a scheme.
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
We're in trouble.
We're in trouble!
What's all the commotion for?
Sukgunseong has been attacked by Goguryeo.
Sukgunseong?
What? Sukgunseong?
How can they attack Sukgunseong?
This is a serious problem.
Sukgunseong is our advance base.
Soldiers from Yodongseong, Geonanseong and Ansiseong
probably united to attack Sukgunseong.
Damdeok must have given a secret order.
No wonder he retreated like that.
It's become a bit more difficult now.
Houyan only has two choices.
Either we advance to Gungnaeseong and make a full-force attack
or we retreat back to Houyan.
We have to make a choice.
I will not retreat.
I will never retreat.
I'm going to smash Goguryeo to pieces.
We will advance and bring Goguryeo down.
Houyan is deeper in enemy territory. Command center, Mokjeoseong, Goguryeo
It won't be that easy to go to Sukgunseong in this situation.
There is a high possibility they will keep advancing.
We have to establish a defense formation with the nearby fortresses.
We have to stop them from advancing.
What is the reason His Majesty chose such an excessive strategy?
Goguryeo could face a greater crisis while trying to help Silla.
His Majesty thinks Baekje is behind Wae's attack on Silla.
If Silla can't be saved, Silla will surrender to Baekje.
If that happens, what do you think Baekje will attack next?
His Majesty knows that saving Silla is saving Goguryeo.
I didn't know.
What's important is what we do.
We don't know what Houyan will do.
We must watch them and stop them.
I sent orders to all the fortresses to be prepared.
If we attack and retreat in a well prepared manner,
Houyan won't be able to attack recklessly.
We must make sure that they don't find out His Majesty went to Silla.
That's right.
Chongmyeong is going to be at the tower in His Majesty's armor.
Your Majesty, Silla is in view.
Over there!
Everyone, be prepared.
We will show them there is no place that isn't under Goguryeo's rule.
We will make sure they never cross the ocean again.
Is that understood?
Yes, Your Majesty!
Ahyehyeon (near today's Pohang)
How is the movement of the Silla army?
They retreated 120km.
120km...
They're pretty scared.
Yes, general.
Geumseong isn't far away.
If we take Geumseong, we can have Silla.
When we do that, we can also have the advanced shipbuilding skills of Baekje.
Do not hesitate.
Give an order to keep attacking.
Yes, sir!
We are here.
This is Ahyehyeon.
Bu Yeohong, you know Wae best.
Suggest a plan.
They are camped out in Ahyehyeon. They will be attacking Geumseong.
We will have to send some soldiers and work with Silla to defend Geumseong.
Defend Geumseong?
We came all the way here and you're only suggesting defense?
No.
We should split the army.
The other half will drive the Wae army from Ahyehyeon.
If we drive them to the ocean, they will have to flee to their country.
They have a large army.
If you split the army in two, neither strategy will work.
Geumseong is the capital. It must be defended.
Driving the Wae army away isn't bad either.
Make preparations for an attack based on this strategy.
Yes, Your Majesty.
- Give this to His Majesty. - Yes, sir.
Let's go.
Your Majesty.
It will take much time to drive the Wae army out according to Bu Yeohong's plan.
I know.
So why...
Are you...
You just see it now?
Bu Yeohong is trying to tie me down here.
There is only one reason for that.
Asin wants to attack Goguryeo.
Do you think he told Wae to attack Silla?
Yes.
Asin wanted to see what Goguryeo will do.
He knew I wouldn't ignore Silla.
He is planning to attack Goguryeo while I'm in Silla.
Shouldn't you do something?
I already took measures.
I just wasn't sure if it was Asin's doing or not.
Your Majesty.
Did you find out?
Yes, Your Majesty.
As expected, he delivered a secret letter.
Okay.
I was right.
Call a meeting first thing in the morning.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Bu Yeohong.
Goguryeo camp, Ahyehyeon
Everyone will listen.
Yes, Your Majesty
I'm going to change our strategy.
Bu Yeohong's strategy will take too long.
If we just drive them away, they will attack again.
That is right.
We have to crush them so they never attack again.
The Wae army always sets up headquarters near the ocean.
They have to be prepared to flee.
Is that right, Silseong?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Yeo Seokgae, take Cheongun and attack the headquarters.
I will go with Hae Mowol and annihilate anyone who flees from the inlet.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Silseong, take the Silla army and kill anyone that flees in another direction.
Yes, Your Majesty.
What should I do?
You will come with me.
Yes, Your Majesty.
All strategies must be carried out covertly at night for us to succeed.
It is going to be a surprise attack.
Is that understood?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Asin's office, Wiryeseong, Baekje
Everything is going as we planned.
Are you going to prepare to go to battle?
Not yet.
If we act hastily, Damdeok could attack us.
We will wait until Damdeok follows Bu Yeohong's strategy.
He has to be tied down there.
Won't it be too late?
Rushing won't solve anything.
We must be well prepared.
Are the private soldiers ready?
Yes, Your Majesty.
All preparations are complete.
Divide up the forces and send them close to Pyeongyangseong.
We have to make a surprise attack.
We have to take Pyeongyangseong to open up a path to Gungnaeseong.
We might have to attack at any time, so be prepared.
Yes, Your Majesty.
I am going to pass on a Baekje that isn't ruled by Goguryeo.
That can happen if Wae takes Silla.
Yes, Your Majesty.
What's going on?
You will pay for attacking an alliance of Goguryeo.
After them!
Don't stop.
Kill them all! Kill them!
This way.
Where are the boats?
General!
General! We're in trouble.
What is it?
Most of our boats have been burnt.
Who would dare to burn our boats?
We're in trouble.
Goguryeo soldiers...
Retreat to the base.
We have to get to our base.
Retreat!
We are already surrounded.
I will stop them. Find some boats.
They probably came by boat.
Get a boat and prepare a retreat route.
Now!
Yes, sir!
Let's go.
They trampled on this land.
Kill them all!
There is nowhere for us to go.
Fight!
I will kill anyone who shows his back.
Are you the leader, Soga Sen?
You're the king of Goguryeo, Damdeok?
I will kill you and show the whole continent how powerful Wae is.
You won't be able to die in peace for what you did.
Come on!
Shoot arrows!
Shields forward!
Protect the general!
Archery unit!
Retreat! Retreat!
- After them! - After them!
Did you find a boat?
Yes, general.
Go ahead.
I will hold them off.
Let's go!
Yes, sir.
How can we be defeated like this?
We didn't expect them to come by sea.
No, we didn't.
We have to reorganize.
I will get them for this.
Let's go!
Your Majesty.
Congratulations.
It's a huge victory!
We followed your plan and we swept them in one night.
How can we thank you for this?
It's too early for that.
Soga Sen got away. He could attack again.
Lock up the prisoners and reorganize the army.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Goguryeo command, Ahyehyeon
Bu Yeohong.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Are you sure Baekje had nothing to do with this?
Baekje probably didn't have anything to do with this.
I'm going to trust you.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
You will defend this place with Silseong.
What?
What about you?
I'm going to the Wae base.
They will continue to attack if we can't take the base.
I will take Cheongun and destroy their base.
Silseong, provide supplies to the boats in the morning.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Carry out the orders right now.
Yes, Your Majesty.
It's a bit excessive to go to the Wae base in this situation.
Why are you saying that?
We'll just sweep them all away.
We can make their base Goguryeo territory.
If he goes to the Wae base, who knows what Baekje will do?
The northern area is in danger, too.
What?
Then shouldn't we attack Baekje instead of the Wae base?
No...
We should eliminate the Wae base.
Your Majesty, where will you go?
Commander Hwang and Ha Muji will defend the north well.
I'm going to attack Baekje and Wae at the same time.
Hurry up!
We prepared plenty of rations, weapons and military supplies.
Are you sure you don't need any more reinforcements from us?
Goguryeo will take the lead.
You will remain here with Bu Yeohong and eliminate any remaining Wae soldiers.
Yes, Your Majesty.
We will send word if we need any reinforcements.
Yes.
We will send any supplies if necessary.
Bu Yeohong, help Silla.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Let's go.
Yes, Your Majesty.
We should take care of the remaining Wae soldiers.
Sure.
I just have something to do before that.
What?
Officer Hong.
Damdeok has gone to conquer Wae.
His Majesty should attack Gungnaeseong now.
Damdeok might conquer Wae, but there won't be any Goguryeo.
If all forces head to Gungnaeseong, Wiryeseong will be unprotected.
It will take Damdeok at least a month to conquer Wae.
Everything will be over by then.
Yes, sir.
Officer Hong.
Yes, sir.
Let's get to Wiryeseong.
I have to be by his Majesty's side and help Baekje.
Yes, sir.
Hurry.
- Hurry. - Yes, sir.
Asin's office, Wiryeseong, Baekje Pyeongyangseong will become our first advance base.
Will they give in that easily?
Goguryeo is fighting two battles.
Only a minimum number of defense soldiers will be at each fortress.
Yes, Your Majesty.
What about Ko Chang and the other Goguryeo ministers?
They have been arrested and locked up.
Good.
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
Bu Yeohong.
How are you?
Good job.
Baekje has a chance to rise again thanks to you.
You did a very good job.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Damdeok has made an unexpected move.
I never imagined he would go to attack the Wae base.
Baekje will soar again.
I will conquer Goguryeo and have Damdeok kneel.
Are we ready for battle?
All preparations are complete.
We have to take Pyeongyangseong first.
All your dreams will come true soon.
They will.
We will leave tomorrow.
Be well prepared.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
Nobody spotted you?
No, Your Majesty.
What about Bu Yeohong?
He made an excuse as soon as you left and headed to Baekje.
Just as expected.
Hae Mowol.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Take half the soldiers and go to Wae.
I already found someone to guide you.
Try not to fight.
Just show them we can put up a fight.
Every boat has a supply for two months.
Yes, Your Majesty.
What about Baekje?
They will try to attack Pyeongyangseong.
I will take Yeo Seokgae and Cheongun and attack them from behind.
Your Majesty, we don't know how large the Wae army is.
It will be 20,000 at most.
We have more than 20,000 soldiers, so they shouldn't be able to attack.
Stall for as long as you can.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Okay, hurry.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, something is wrong.
It feels like they were waiting for us.
Do you think Goguryeo made plans for this?
They're only doing what they can with a minimum number of soldiers.
But...
They're too well prepared for a minimum number.
If they suspected Baekje to be involved with Wae's attack and prepared...
Your Majesty!
What is it?
We're in trouble, Your Majesty.
Just tell me!
The king of Goguryeo has advanced near Wiryeseong.
What?
It was all Damdeok's ploy.
He knew everything.
He knew we would attack Goguryeo.
He only pretended to head to Wae.
If all this was planned, there is no need to start this battle.
We already lost.
We will return to Wiryeseong.
There is no time.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Let's go!
Your Majesty, let me go and kill Asin right now.
You showed great generosity.
You should not spare his life.
There's no need.
He knows the situation.
You can't let him get away with this.
It's not a sin to be ignorant.
He is a king who lacks in knowing what is best for the people.
That is what caused this situation.
What should we do?
Nobody is to do anything until I give an order.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Yes, sir.
Asin.
Lady Doyeong!
Why...
Your Majesty, we have to retreat.
He's right.
Our naval forces are still intact. We can find a way to attack.
We will fight them here.
Please save yourself.
Where would I go?
What?
There is nowhere for me to go.
Your Majesty.
Order everyone to lower their weapons.
Your Majesty, we still have a chance.
I will not let our people shed blood because of my stubbornness.
Our skills and wisdom are lacking compared to Damdeok.
Asin.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Do you admit defeat?
I have been defeated.
You have been defeated.
How cool.
Why do you think you were defeated?
If you want to look down on me, just kill me.
I didn't come to conquer Baekje.
I came to conquer Wae.
I consider the people who trampled all over our people as the enemy.
I never considered Baekje to be the enemy.
Do you see me as the enemy?
Do people who share the same blood have to fight like enemies?
Bu Yeohong!
As the king of this land, I order you.
Save Baekje's strength.
After I conquer Wae, I will unite the Baekje and Silla armies to attack Houyan.
Goguryeo, Baekje and Silla can't be separate when it comes to protecting this land.
Yes, Your Majesty.
I will obey your command.
