-You`ve been deceived all along, Your Majesty. -Deceived?
-By whom, about what? -Geom...!
-Do you know who Geom`s father is? -What are you trying to say?
Geom`s real father?
Answer me!
Geom is not Li Kaigu`s son.
You are insane!
If Geom isn`t Li Kaigu`s son....
-He`s none other than... -Father!
Father, are you all right?
What are you waiting for? Arrest this man!
Aye!
How could this happene to me? Sun Wanrong....
My most trusted man Sun Wanrong has betrayed me!
Father!!
-Lock them up. -Yes, Your Highness.
-Take the offenders to the palace jail! -Aye!
We`ve arrested all of the accomplices of high treason. ~Dae Jungsang:Dae joyoung`s father~
This country owes you once again, general. ~Chulin:Khitan King`s Daughter~
I His Majesty all right?
He fell asleep after taking some calming draught.
I hope he gets his strenght back to prosecute the offenders.
I will take care of the rest of the situation.
I will leave my troops here if you need them.
Thank you, but that`s all right.
Well then.
~Shin Fort:Dae Joyoung`s bast of operation~
Sun Wanrong?
-Sun Wanrong is the instigator of the rebellion? -Yes, general.
General Dae Jungsang apparently played a key role in stopping the overthrow.
Sun Wanrong is one of the most faithful royal subjects the King had.
I don`t know the details, but it`s certain this created a huge division in Khitan court. ~Mimosa~
Where is Geom?
-Are you going to tell him? -He should know.
-He`s the future King of Khitan after all. -We brought him here
as a hostage to guarantee your family`s safety. If he becomes distraught and goes back agains our will..
From what I have seen so far, he is not an impetuous boy.
Besides, the attempted hight treason has been thwarted by my father.
What are you reading?
Please come in, general.
Isn`t this about Goguryeon History?
I found it in the library and it truck my interest.
Goguryeo was truly a fascinating state.
I`m awed by its grand spirit and remarkable strength ~Li Geom:Chulin`s son~
There was a small disturbance in Yingzhou.
-Are you talking about General Sun Wanrong`s rebellion? -Did you know about it?
I heard it from Dan.
It`s already been supressed, so I`m all right.
But your mother and grandfather are there. You can pay them a visit if that will put your mind at ease.
My being there in Yingzhou will not change anything.
But I can make a huge difference here in Liaodong.
-By rendering meritorius service? -Yes.
My mother`s or my grandfather`s arms is not where I need to be right now.
Right here on these vast and rough fields of Liaodong is where I belong.
-You are the one with grand mind and remarkable spirit. -I would like to learn what I can from the Goguryeoans since I`m here.
By the way, we haven`t heard anything from Liaodong and Baekam.
They only took limited amount of food supply.
We might have to go help them if they are delayed much longer.
I can`t take this anymore!
-Gaepil, what`s gotten into you? -Feed us at least!
We`re starving to death and you want us to strategize? we didn`t come here to sit behind a desk all day! ~Gaepilsamun~
We have to use our heads if we`re going to win this match. ~Heuk Sudol~
I am using my head. The soldiers are miserable!
And the horses are starving because you only had us bring ten days worht of food!
-I`ve had enough I`m through! -Blasted bastard...
General!!
What happened? Did they start a battle in Liaodong?
It`s not a battle, but they started the fight.
What do you mean?
-Not a battle but a fight? -Well, if I should explain....
Who among you has the guts to fight Geumlan today?
Our entire army is watching. The wench must be brought down today!
Rest assured, my lord!
Go!
What do you think? Can you handle it?
What are you waiting for? Kill the wench!
He`s like an angry tiger!
Who are you?
-You want to know who I am? -you`re not an ordinary warrior.
Reveal your identity!
I am the warrior of Great Goguryeo Dae Joyoung!
Dae Joyoung? Dae Joyoung is here in the flesh?
We will play this game until tomorrow. Then we will attack full force!
If you want to live, surrender or run!
Surrender, or none of you will survive once the battle begins!
So surrender or vacate the city.
Over ten Tang warriors have already died in Geumlan`s hands.
The Tang soldiers are becoming unnerved and demoralized getting clobbered by a woman.
Biwu is so smart!
Why can`t I think of things like that?
Geumlan is really something. She`s already killed ten Tang warriors!
I will not be beaten by Biwu. We have to bring Baekam Fort down first!
How when we`re undermanned and we still don`t have a plan?
Oh, I`m so hungry....
Um, may I propose a strategy?
-Hey, Tungso! -Yes?
No,no, I want to hear this.
We`ll divide the troops.
Divide the troops into smaller groups?
-Yes. -And? Amd what?
And each of the groups will take one of the city gate.
The city gates?
You mean like, north gate for me, east gate for you, and south gate for him.
and so forth? -Exactly.
We will have a contest to see which goup breaks through the gate first,
The winning group gets the eat all the best food in the city!
Tungso, you idiot! You call that a strategy?
No, no.
I`m so impressed I`m going to cry!
It`s the most brilliant strategy I`ve ever heard in my entire life!
Huh?
Heuk Sudol, get a hold of yourself.
Tungso, you`re ourtactician from now on.
You`re going to devise all of our tactics from now on!
Really, General Heuk? I`m going to be a military tactician?
Yes, yes! Round up the warriors righ now. What are you waiting for?
-I`m starving to death! -Yes, sir!
I suppose it could work...
I`m not going to let Biwu beat me. you`ll see.
Rub this on the cut and it`ll help reduce the swelling.
The enemy has become a disorderly mob weaker than a group of bandits.
We owe it all to you, Geumlan.
Why did you say you were Dae Joyoung instead of telling them who you are? ~Geumlan~
The name Dae Joyoung will breed greater fear into the enemy`s heart than my own name. ~Gulsabiwu~
But it was a great opportunity to make yourself be known.
If fame was what I was after. I would`ve gone under Xue Rengui and served the Tang army.
Let me ask you a question. It`s about your master Mimosa.
Who is he to you?
Why do you ask?
I thought there might be a story behind how you came to be master and servant.
He saved a young life that was nearly buried alive.
That`s why my life belongs to him.
I see.
How about you? Who is your master to you?
Joyoung gave me a purpose for living.
If Joyoung weren`t there after the country was taken, I would`ve had no reason to go on living.
General!!
General, the battle have begun at Baekam Fort.
The warriors are attacking all of the city gates at once in small groups by frontal attack.
Frontal attack....
That`s my brother Heul Sudol for you.
We will launch out attack as well at first light. Complete all preparations tonight.
Yes, sir!
~Baekam Fort~
I know you`re hungry but hang in there! We`re almost there!
Let`s win this contest and stuff our bellies full!
We can`t let Heuk Sudol beat us! Wipe out the enemy!
Let`s get in there and chow down!
I`ll send you all to hell!
How dare you attack the military tactician! I`m the respexted tactician!
~Liaodong fort`
It`s Dae Joyoung! Dae Joyoung has attacked!
Observe!
This audacious man has dared to play the owner of Liaodong Fort!
This is what happens to thieves who take someone else`s home.
Open the city gates!!
Liaodong Fort and Baekam Fort have been coquered! Open the city gates!
~Shin Fort:Dae Joyoung`s base of operations~
Sweeping victor?
-Both Gulsabiwu and Heuk Sudol have won their battles? -Yes, General!
That`s incredible news!
Both Liaodong and Baekam Fort have simultaneously fallen!
We can`t stay here now that we got the news we`ve been waiting for.
Who will remain here and protect Shin Fort?
One thousand of our soldiers and another one thousand soldiers of the citizen army of Shin Fort will protect the city
We will soon leave the city and proceed to Liaodong Fort through Baekam Fort.
There we will merge with Gulsabiwu and Heuk Sudol`s army and promptly proceed to Ansi Fort.
Yes, General!
I nevered dreamed we would conquer these impenetrable fortsso quickly.
My brothers have repaid me in kind for my trust and faith in them!
Now that we have recaptured Shin, Baekam, and Liaodong forts, have of our mission is complere.
Fortunately, the Tang court has yet to make a move, but Emperor Wu is certain to retaliate once she learns about our feats.
Ansi Fort must recaptured before she takes action.
~Chang`an, Tang~
What?
-Dae Joyoung has conquered Lioadong and Baekam Fort? -Yes, General.
That is the report,sir.
I fear Dae Joyoung will take Lioadong and press foward to Pyongyang Fort!
If we don`t take immediate action, we may lose all of the old Goguryeo territory.
That`s obvious, but we don`t have an army to send over there.
General, send me to Liaodong. ~Li Wen~
I will reorganize the soldiers in Liaodong and stop Dae Joyoung.
Dae Joyoung has already swallowed Shin Fort, Baekam Fort and Liaodong Fort. ~Xue Rengui~
You being ther will not resolve this situation.
Then what is our option? Sit here and watch while Dae Joyoung takes Liaodong back?
-Hongpei, -Yes, General.
Send a messenger to the Turks at once. It`s time to seek help from Muchuo.
Yes, General.
Muchuo may be able to stop Li Kaigu, but how can he stop Dae Joyoung.
Dae Joyoung`s next target is Ansi Fort.
It will not be easily conquered no matter how good he is.
After all Ansi is an impregnable fortress that even the Great Tang army of one milion could not conquer.
If Ansi can hold their fort until the Turks attack Khitan, we can redirect all military resources to Dae Joyoung.
What could Her Majesty be up to that she won`t set foot outside her chambers?
Oh goodness....
For weeks we have administered Her Majesty draught, but her condition is only getting worse.
In truth, there is no herbal remedy for Her Majesty`s ailment because she suffers from a malady of the heart.
-Malady of the heart? -Yes.
Her Majesty herself must change her dark and nagetive outlook and look on the bright side of things....
Malady of the heart....
Then I guess what she needs is me, Yang Xiaowei and not the physician. ~Yang Xiaowei~
What do you mean by that?
Oh, never mind.
If you want to cure my ailment, bring me Dae Joyoung`s head.
Your Majesty, you`re awake!
It`s been days since I`ve been at the Royal Hall. ~Emperor Shengshen~
What happened to Dae Joyoung after conquering Shin Fort?
-Your Majety, you mustn`t push yourself. -Li Kaigu?
And where is Zhao Renshi who conspired to have me overthrown?
You must think only of your health right now.
My ailment comes from worrying about the empire.
Nothing will cure me better than Dae Joyoung`s head.
Bring me his head!
What?
Her Majesty is back?
Yes, I`m told she`s back to her old self again like a different woman.
But who knows when she`ll slip back again?
It`s a huge relief tjat we got her back when the country is in a crisis.
By the way, general, what do you intend to do with Li Kaigu?
What do you mean?
General Zhao Renshi who has Li Kaigu checked is still under crazy accusation of high treason.
General Xue is working very hard to resolve that situation right now.
He will work everything out soon enough, so don`t worry.
How are you going to resolve the situation?
Would you believe I`ve been dying under Yang Xiaowei?
I have no choice, I have to cast aside my pride in order to save the state.
Yang Xiaowei that conniving bastard, makes me want to kill him.
Watch your tongue, my man.
The palace has become a dangerous place ever since he`s been back.
We must all be very careful.
With Dae Joyoung running rampant,
I just hope Zhao Renshi will hold Li Kaigu back for us....
~Tang Camp, Huangzhang Gorge~
General, how much longer are we to stay like this?
Unpleasant rumors are going around among the soldiers.
Unpleasant rumors?
That you are going to surrender to Li Kaigu.
We can`t just sit around and let the soldiers lose their moral.
-I have no woll left to fight. -General.
-What do we have to fight for? -But where would we run to if we don`t fight?
We are better off surrendering to Li Kaigu.
General!
Is this really how you feel?
i`ve agonized over this for days.
It would be wiser to surrender to Khitan and seek revenge than to fight for the country that has betrayed us.
You can join me or go your own way.
I have made my decision.
I will go to Li Kaigu and express my intent soon.
It`s been a while, general. It`s Zhao Renshi
What fool you are walking into the enemy`s camp without permission!
Don`t you see this white flag? Where here to talk peace.
I`m not big enough to have a sit down with my enemy in the middle of a war.
Guards, seize these men at once!
What are you doing. Seize these men at once!
Yes, General.
-Seize these men. -Yes, sir.
-Stop! -We`re here to surrender.
You must believe us. We wish to surrender.
Is this true?
Yes, it is.
We wouldn`t recklessly walk into the enemy camp either.
Disclose your reason first.
You have an army larger than mine. Whu would you surrender? ~Li Kaigu~
I will be frank,The Imperial court of Tang has accused us of high treason. ~Zhao Renshi~
Even if we win this war and return triumphant, we will be executed.
So you would surrender and fight for Khitan?
We serve and die for the master who believes in us.
We will give our loyalty to the King of Khitan if he regards us with value.
Believe us.
We are warriors who sleep with our swords as our pillows. We wouldn`t resort to cheap tricks to acquire victory.
If you are telling the truth, come back in three days.
But you must disarm your men and bring them with you.
-Agreed? -Agreed.
I will do as you ask.
See these warriors out of the camp!
Yes, general. Come.
General, we struck gold! I can`t believe they surrendered!
General, You can`t trust them.
It doesn`t matter whether they are telling the truth or not.
I intend to kill all of them.
Genreal!
When they enter the gorge empty handed in three days, we will attack without mercy and wipe them out. Prepare the troops accordingly.
But our army will more than double if we take them in.
If they can betray Tang they can betray us as well. Look at Ma Renji.
He`s already betrayed me once along with Zhang Xuanyu.
If we accept them and they betray us, they could destroy our country.
It`s best that we kill them all and eliminate potential evil.
You are wise indeed, sir.
We`ve been gone for too lang.
We must wrap up this conquest and return to Yingzhou.
~Turkic:Camp~
Pay heed, warriors!
Khitan army has crept into the southwest territory in their war with Tang.
Answering Tang`s desperate plea for help we have decided to launch an attack on Khitan. ~Muchuo:Turkic Khan~
We will move out without delay, so go foward and display the awesome strength of the Turks!
Yes, Khan!
I will now announce the subdivisions of the army and its commanders.
-Company one, Captain Inel! -I pledge my loyalty!
-Company two, Captain Kul Tigin! -I pledge my loyalty!
-Company three, Captain Bilgae! -I pledge my loyalty!
I will lead the main army personally.
Now take your troops and move out immediately!
Yes, Khan!
-Report what you`ve seen and heard to General Xue Rengui. -Yes, Khan.
-May I have a word, sir? -Certaintly.
-I`d like to change our march route. -Change our march route?
Do you know a faster way to get to the soutwest front?
No, but we don`t know how the war will change bu the time we get to the front.
Are you saying Tang could be defeated?
Yes, and Khitan could be defeated as well.
And?
I think it would be wiser to take the round about way instead of the direct route.
That will enable us to procceed directly to Yingzhou if Khitan is defeated and we can also retreat quickly
if Tang is defeated.
You`re absolutely right. Change course accordingly.
And stay on top of the progress of the war at all times.
Yes, Khan.
~Royal Palace of Khitan in Yingzhou~
Sire!
There you are. Anything about His Majesty?
He still hasn`t taken a step outside his chambers.
That`s odd. ~Shin Hong~
I would think he is anxious to have a public inquiry to punish the criminals of high treason.
How about us, sire?
If there is a public inquiry, we will not be safe either.
-There is no proof of out involvement anywhere. -But if General Sun Wanrong should talk....
Don`t worry about that and just do your job. What could His Majesty be thinking?
If I only knew what he`s going to do....
-Get General Sun Wanrong out! -Aye!
Rumors are spreading fast among the people about the rebellion.
We must quickly hold a public inquiry and wrap this up.
Father!
Chulin...!
Your Majesty, the prisoner.
Bring him in.
I didn`t forget what you said the other night. ~Li Jinzhong:King of Khitan~
Reapet your statement.
If it was a groundless lie uttered in desperation,
you won`t walk out of here alive. Repeat what you said.
Was it a lie?
I swear to god that it is the truth. ~Sun Wanrong:King`s Brother in law~
Geom is not Li Kaigu`s son.
Then whose son is he?
Geom is.....
Dae Joyoung`s son!
Dae Joyoung?
Is it true that Geom`s father is Dae Joyoung?
Yes.
But what does that matter? Geom is my son.
-He will do great things for this country in the future. -Never!
If he or Dae Joyoung find out about this, Khitan will fall into the hands of Goguryeoans!
They will not find out.
Do you think you can keep it buried forever?
Yes, if everyone involved in this rebellion is dead.
I can`t forsake my son. Kill them all, father.
Silence every single one of them and no one will ever know.
I cannot trade my grandson for anything in the world.
Your Majesty.
If you open your mouth about this again, you will die.
Before you have a chance to stand on trial.
Understand?
Your Majesty...!
-Guards! -Yes, Your Majesty!
-Take the prisoner back to his cell. -Yes, Your Majesy!
Take him away!
I think the time has come for us to leave Yingzhou.
Not only the Khitans but also our refugess are terrified by the news of the rebellion.
Are there any new reports from Liaodong?
Joyoung is due to enter Liaodong Fort through Baekam Fort soon.
They`re going to roll up their sleeves and get ready to retake Ansi Fort.
Yes...
Ansi Fort! ~Dae Jungsang:Dae Joyoung`s Father~
The mere thought of it fills me heart and brings me to tears.
Indeed it does.
I`d have no regrets even if I died there fighting to get it back.
General, why don`t we take the refugees and go back to Liaodong now?
We do have quite a few people who are ready to make the move.
Perhaps we should take them and start relocating them.
It`s too soon for that.
If recapturing of Ansi Fort is delayed, we will be stuck with nowhere to go. ~Sukyoung:Dae Joyoung`s wife~
You`re right.
But if Ansi Fort is conquered, we can relax and start the relocation.
Then we will make all the preparation and stand by.
I will do everything I can as well.
Let us all push ourselves a little harder.
Sons of Goguryeo are fighting hard for us in Liaodong. It won`t be long.
We will soon go back to out homland we`ve been yearning for and rebuild Gogureo.
General!
-Joyoung! -We did it!
Good work!
You`ve overcame great odds and brought us victory. Thank you, I`m proud of you.
-The people of Liaodong have prepared a feast for us. -Let`s go to the municipal square, Joyounf!
Great warriors of Goguryeo, I command you! Let you`re horses rest tonight!
And every one of you must drink and celebrate!
We still have a huge mountain to conquer.
Until the heart of Liaodong, Ansi Fort is conquered, there will not be another day of rest like this.
Enjoy it like there is no tomorrow!
Let us look back on tonight and smile,if the enemy`s sword should strike us on the battlefield of Ansi!
Remember.
We are warriors of Goguryeo! And Liaodong belongs to us!
