Translation by KBS World
Become the new emperor of Houyan.
Become the new emperor and lead Houyan.
Become the new emperor and protect Houyan and all of us.
I will follow you.
We will, too.
Please lead us!
What's wrong with you?
You must make a decision for your dream and for mine.
That's right.
You have no choice.
Master, make a decision.
We will take care of everything.
Just give us your approval.
General Fengba.
Yes, give me your order.
Go with general Jubu and take control of the army in Longcheng.
That's a priority.
I will obey your command.
Wonbong, take soldiers and rescue Youzheng.
I will obey your command.
Mashi, go to Beiwei and calm them down.
They must not waver.
I will obey your command.
All this must take place with great speed.
We will remember that.
I will sit on the throne when all this chaos is over.
Yes, sir!
Let's go!
The heavens are finally giving me a chance.
I have to get Damdeok and revive Houyan.
I have to do that.
General, what are you doing?
Did you eliminate everyone who follows Murong Xi?
Yes, sir!
There must be no military movement in the palace from now on.
Tell everyone it's a royal order and watch them well.
Understood?
Yes, sir!
General Jubu, what are you doing?
Do you expect to disobey a royal order and live?
Kill him!
He must be eliminated.
What are you talking about?
Think of it as a price to pay for serving the wrong master.
Kill him!
You!
After him!
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
Your Majesty, we're in trouble.
What is it?
General Fengba is committing treason.
What?
Treason?
How can Fengba do that?
Why?
I don't know.
But right now, you must get out of here.
How dare they betray me?
There's no time. Please hurry.
Where is Murong Un?
Find him.
You can't trust anyone right now.
Fengba.
I ought to...
I will go with you.
- Protect His Majesty. - Yes, sir.
Murong Un, you came.
Fengba...
I came to get you.
I'm alright.
Capture Fengba.
He...
Murong Un.
It's time for you to step down.
What did you just say?
Hand over the throne to me.
Murong Un!
How dare you?
If you concede the throne, there won't be a need for any unnecessary killings.
After everything Houyan gave you, this is how you repay us?
It is to answer to your kindness.
I had no choice but to make such a decision for the future of Houyan.
Do you think I would give the throne to you?
No way.
I will not give you the future of Houyan.
A country that borrows that strength of another country
will only end up belonging to that country.
Do you really want the help of Beiwei?
Open up a path.
If you don't move, we will kill you.
You're injured.
Lower your sword.
Your Majesty, I will open up a path for you.
Your Majesty...
Your Majesty, this is my last act of loyalty.
Lower your sword.
You!
You're not of Houyan blood.
Do you think the people will serve you as their emperor?
Take him away!
Yes, sir!
Your Majesty!
You're a wolf who sells his country.
I was foolish to trust someone from Goguryeo.
Houyan...
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
Your Majesty.
It's all over, Your Majesty.
You were too hasty.
He was your emperor. You served him.
My master was the former emperor, Murong Bao.
I took revenge for him and made you, his stepson, the emperor.
I have no regrets now.
Beiwei envoys' quarters, Houyan palace
Youzheng. Youzheng.
Are you alright?
Murong Un.
I'm glad you're alright.
Are you the one who rescued me?
Youzheng.
You will have to address him differently now.
He is the new emperor of Houyan.
What are you talking about?
The world has changed overnight.
What?
Houyan has a new sun.
Murong Xi is...
It is probably better for Houyan.
What we need now is a strong alliance between Houyan and Beiwei.
I apologize once again for what happened.
I promise you Houyan will never break off the alliance first.
What will you do about Liuju?
As Beiwei wishes.
Instead, Beiwei must provide military support.
Give me a little time to think.
Sure.
How is Goguryeo's movement?
There isn't much movement yet.
But they probably heard about what happened last night.
We don't know when they will make a move.
Shouldn't we recover Sujuncheng and cut Damdeok off?
We'll miss the timing if we don't do anything right now.
Eliminating Damdeok takes more priority over recovering Sujuncheng.
If we eliminate Damdeok in Houyan, we can get everything we want.
Are you confident of eliminating Damdeok?
It's not impossible if Beiwei cooperates.
Liuju is on the line. They will help us.
We will suffer losses.
We have to be prepared to suffer more if we want to save this country.
It's a step back to take two steps forward.
Understood?
I will obey your command.
We will obey your command.
Goguryeo camp, Sujuncheng
Commander!
What is it?
Something happened in Longcheng.
What?
Murong Xi died and Ko Un took control.
Won't he send forces to Liuju?
I think so, too.
Shouldn't we go to help His Majesty?
No.
I'm sure he already knows.
What?
He's in Liuju. How can he know?
His plan to create internal dispute was successful.
We only expected dispute. This is bigger than we expected.
Ko Un is smarter than Murong Xi and is a great strategist.
We are at a disadvantage if he leads Houyan.
That's right.
What should we do now?
Don't worry.
His Majesty probably has a better strategy than Ko Un.
Emperor's office, Houyan palace
Youzheng, did you think about it?
I will do as you wish.
You made the right decision.
The alliance between Houyan and Beiwei will last forever.
I will believe that.
Send a message to Beiwei.
We must attack Liuju together.
I must kill Damdeok.
That is our goal also.
I will send a messenger as soon as I return to the envoys' quarters.
Thank you.
Goguryeo command, Liujucheng Your Majesty.
What does it say?
It says Murong Xi is dead.
Ko Un has control of the court.
If Ko Un is in control, it will put us in a bind.
He constantly attacked our weaknesses.
We can only win if he digs deeper into our weaknesses.
What do you mean?
Ko Un caused a coup because Murong Xi refused an alliance with Beiwei.
He will form an alliance with Beiwei now.
That will be a more serious problem.
Goguryeo will have to face enemies in front and back.
The Goguryeo army is divided in two right now.
We will have to lure all the Beiwei soldiers and Houyan soldiers to Liuju.
We have to trick the enemy into thinking that we are all here.
That will lure the Beiwei and Houyan army here.
We can stop the Beiwei army, but if the Houyan army also comes,
we won't be able to stop them with the forces we have here.
Don't worry.
This won't be the battleground.
Then...
This is an order from the king of Goguryeo.
Everyone here will disguise themselves as Goguryeo soldiers.
Disguise?
You want us to fight in battle?
Calm down.
Nobody will be sacrificed.
Not one of you will have to fight in battle, so don't worry.
How can you guarantee that?
I will guarantee it.
I, the king of Goguryeo, promise you.
The people won't have to fight in battle.
You just have to look like soldiers.
There won't be any damage to the people.
Anyone who does this will receive plenty of food.
Food
We won't be hungry.
This will save your lives and the people of Houyan from battle.
Trust me.
You protected us since Sujuncheng was taken.
We will trust you.
We never saw occupation forces that didn't plunder the people.
We have to trust him.
Right?
Longcheng, capital of Houyan
We received an urgent message from Beiwei.
Beiwei also sees Goguryeo as a powerful enemy.
A large army will be sent.
Good.
All we have to do now is eliminate our nuisance.
Goguryeo will be prepared.
Probably, but if we attack from both sides, they will be helpless.
That's right.
We must get our soldiers to Liuju.
All our problems will be solved if we eliminate Damdeok.
I will also advance to Liuju with the Houyan army.
Good.
The Goguryeo soldiers at Sujuncheng could attack Longcheng.
Longcheng is an impregnable fortress.
It didn't budge even when Goguryeo attacked for a month.
Damdeok isn't at Sujuncheng.
We can't be completely at ease.
We might be able to defend Longcheng.
But we have to keep in mind that they could attack us from behind.
Don't worry about that.
According to our scouts, a large Goguryeo army is in Liuju.
There won't be a large army left at Sujuncheng.
General Jubu and general Wonbong are making preparations.
If the Goguryeo army tries to attack us from behind, they will fail.
Good.
Youzheng, did you send the military order?
Yes, as you ordered, the Beiwei army will attack Liuju before the Houyan army.
While the Goguryeo army is fighting the Beiwei army,
the Houyan army must attack from behind.
Don't forget.
Beiwei can have Liuju soon.
Don't worry.
Goguryeo command, Sujuncheng Commander! Commander!
The Houyan army headed to Liuju early in the morning.
What?
Are you sure?
They also have reserve forces ready in case we attack them from behind.
Noh Sa, relay this information to His Majesty.
Go as quickly as you can.
Yes, commander.
I don't know if things will go as His Majesty expected.
Ko Un shouldn't be taken lightly.
Shouldn't we come up with a strategy and do something?
No.
His Majesty said to move only on his order.
If that's what he said, we must do that.
His strategies never go wrong, right?
Near Liujucheng
That is Liuju territory.
This is going to be the last battle against Houyan.
I'm sure it will be.
Too much blood was shed and a high price was paid.
I miss the generals who fought in battle with me.
Your battles aren't just about bloodshed and politics.
Your battles are close to the dreams of all Goguryeo people.
You said before it is so the people can live a peaceful life without battles.
I'm going to make that happen.
I will advance in the continent and make Goguryeo powerful.
I will create a world without any battles.
I will do that.
Goguryeo command, Liujucheng
Are you worried about something?
What if...
What is it?
What if Beiwei and Houyan attack Liuju separately?
Liuju is relatively closer to Beiwei.
One army could attack first and wait for our forces to gather,
then attack from behind.
Then it would be effective to lure them to fight and retreat.
Someone has to be bait to do that.
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, a large Beiwei army appeared in the outskirts of Liuju.
Where are they?
About 240km outside Liuju.
Your Majesty, send me.
I will slow them down from advancing.
You'll slow them down?
You will be bait and lure them?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Cheongun has found a way to damage them with a small number of soldiers.
No.
It's too dangerous. You could be annihilated.
Your Majesty, please give us your approval.
We were of lowly status, but we rose this far and had the honor of serving you.
Give us a chance to repay you for all your kindness.
We are begging you to let us do this.
Be sure to return alive.
That's an order.
- Yes, Your Majesty. - Yes, Your Majesty.
Make way!
Have the people retreat now.
Yes, Your Majesty.
- Have the people retreat! - Yes, sir.
Have...
The enemy soldiers didn't appear yet.
Aren't we here to confuse them?
There's no need anymore.
Your lives could be in danger, so you can leave now.
Your Majesty.
This past month, my mother got three meals a day for the first time.
My children said they like Goguryeo soldiers and wanted to be Goguryeo people.
We would like to help Goguryeo, so you can rule Liuju.
Your Majesty.
Please don't abandon Liuju.
I will recover Liuju.
I will see you again and be your king, so don't worry.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Take care of yourselves. I will be back.
General! General!
Houyan camp, outside Liuju
What is the situation?
The Beiwei army and Goguryeo army are fighting northwest of Liuju.
Are all the Goguryeo soldiers here?
We didn't confirm that much.
But seeing there are soldiers guarding Liujucheng,
it seems like the king of Goguryeo is still in Liuju.
It's as expected.
We just have to attack from behind now.
Send a messenger to the Beiwei camp and find out more details.
Yes, Your Majesty. I will send a messenger.
Let's go!
Ari, retreat now.
What are you talking about. I am also Cheongun.
This is an order.
Someone has to let His Majesty know what's going on.
Why are you only ordering me to go?
You must live.
I made a promise with Gurchin and general Yeo Seokgae.
Be sure to survive.
Make sure I won't regret this.
You must live.
Kill them all! Don't let anyone live!
Over there! Someone's getting away!
I still have the energy to kill you.
You will see hell because of Goguryeo.
Your Majesty!
Persistent fools.
Let the Houyan army know.
Tell them to attack Liujucheng now.
Yes, sir.
Why aren't there any Goguryeo soldiers in Liuju?
I don't know.
They slowed down our advance by two days.
How can they suddenly disappear?
We've been tricked.
Where is Damdeok? Where is the Goguryeo army?
General!
The people don't know anything.
It's Longcheng, the capital.
Longcheng?
We had scouts in every direction.
There is no way they would have missed the Goguryeo army.
They went by boat.
They moved all the forces to Longcheng.
Then...
Longcheng will be in trouble.
We have to get to Longcheng.
Move all our forces to Longcheng.
Yes, Your Majesty!
- Come with me! - Yes, sir!
The wind helped. We arrived quickly.
We came on time.
This was a great strategy.
How did you come up with such a great strategy?
He planned this when he went to Liuju.
This is the beginning.
Yes, Your Majesty.
We will attack Longcheng with all our forces.
We will take over quickly and conquer Houyan.
Fight with everything you have.
Yes, Your Majesty!
Why are they suddenly attacking Longcheng?
Did something happen in Liuju?
Liuju?
What about His Majesty and general Fengba?
General! General!
We're in trouble.
The Goguryeo army is attacking the south gate.
The south gate is about to open.
What?
Where did the soldiers come from?
It's a large army led by the king of Goguryeo.
The king of Goguryeo? He should be in Liuju.
It means our army was defeated in Liuju.
Longcheng might be an impregnable fortress,
but we don't have enough soldiers to stop the Goguryeo army.
- Stop the enemy! - Stop them!
It's been a long time.
Your Majesty.
You ended up like this by serving the wrong master.
I never thought of master Ko Un as a wrong master.
I'm just disappointed that I'm in this position.
Lock them up in prison.
Yes, Your Majesty.
- Take them away! - Yes, sir!
Your Majesty!
What happened to master Ko Un?
You will be seeing him soon.
- Take them away! - Yes, sir!
- Your Majesty! - Your Majesty!
Your Majesty!
Good job.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Did you get plenty of rest?
Yes, Your Majesty.
My body aches from not fighting for so long.
You will have to get on a boat now.
A boat?
Yes.
Ko Un probably heard about this by now.
He should be heading for Longcheng.
Are you ordering us to take Liuju again?
That's right.
Take Liuju quickly.
Drive Houyan and Beiwei to Longcheng and attack them from behind.
Yes, Your Majesty.
This battle is going to end soon.
