Hey, what's that?
- They're ships! - Where are they from?
Go down and see.
- What is it? - It is the Goguryeo army!
Send a message to Okchun Fortress. Tell them to send reinforcements!
The men of Shiwoo will breach the Main Gate as quickly as possible.
The Royal Guards will block the enemy to make sure that they are not delayed.
Remember, don't fight. All we need to do is put our banner up.
Our first priority is to plant fear in their hearts.
The men of Shiwoo have to arrive at Okchun Fortress before the arrival of Sukhyun's messenger.
Episode 14
You bastard! Stop!
Baekje Sukhyun Fortress
I am the Overlord of this Fortress. (Baekje Overlord of Sukhyun Fortress)
If you want to conquer my fortress, you must first kill me...!
As I do not have the time to get off my horse, I will speak as I am.
The king has given his orders.
Anyone who takes the life of an unarmed man,
anyone who touches a woman, or takes anything that does not belong to them.
He will be executed immediately!
A warrior of Baekje does not surrender even at the cost of his life!
It does not matter whether or not you surrender. I am merely telling you my king's orders.
So throw away your weapons and live as a subject,
or kill your Generals and take your own life.
Do as you will.
At least tell us the name of the king.
His name cannot be uttered with one's head upright.
The King of Goguryeo conquers Sukhyun Fortress on the 2nd day
Baekje Okchun Fortress
It is a messenger! Open the gates!
Why don't you step back? Do you want to worry your king?
Aren't you the one who should be protecting himself?
- Don't you have someone to caress you later? - What? What nonsense is that?
Don't you know? She said that every time she sees you, her heart drops to the floor!
R... really?
Really.
Or not?
Dummy!
You don't even know her name, do you?
- Have you held her hand yet? - What?
How can you be so useless? If you're going to bed her, it'll be years!
What do girls have to eat to become like you?
Every night, the liver of a turtle!
Every three days, a head of a viper!
- And wild ginseng once a month! - Really?
How could that be true?
Dummy!
The King of Goguryeo conquers Okchun Fortress on the 5th day
The King of Goguryeo speaks.
As Baekje is a nation born from Goguryeo,
whoever grasps the hand of its elder brother will be considered a brother.
So sayeth the king to all the subjects of this fortress.
Wow, look at this!
The King of Goguryeo conquers Eulmi Fortress on the 6th day
These can't possible be swords!
As all the materials in the Overlord's storehouses
...first belonged to the subjects...
They will be returned to the subjects!
It is one sack per person! Come and take your share.
The King of Goguryeo conquers Aphae Fortress on the 10th day
For children less than ten years old, it is the smaller sack!
No, that sack goes over here. Not there! Here...!
Do not harm the subjects! Anyone who does so will be beheaded!
Any Baekje soldier that does not wish to fight for Goguryeo,
...will not be executed.
They will not be held hostage. (The subjects open the gate for a bloodless victory)
The King of Goguryeo conquers Yuhgoon Fortress on the 11th day
If they surrender their weapons, they will be allowed to leave the fortress.
Go and tell the neighboring fortresses.
The King of Goguryeo awaits your loyalty!
- The Iron Horse Warriors are here! - The Iron Horse Warriors are here!
Goguryeo Encampment of Lord Ho Gae North of Baekje Palgon Fortress
We, the Iron Horse Warriors, have come to join Lord Ho Gae's army.
I, Chief Jeok Hwan, greet you.
Did the Iron Horse Warriors carry the horses on their backs?
Do you know how many valuable days we have lost waiting for your precious warriors to come?
- Where is the one you escorted here? - That is why we were late.
She fell ill during the journey.
We had to wait until she was ready to travel again.
That's great. A nation's war was delayed because of a woman.
40,000 men doing nothing for one woman...?
- What is this? - Do not speak in vain.
She is not just a woman. She is the Phoenix.
We saw it.
She is truly the Phoenix.
She is one of the four guardians who will lead our nation to become Joo Shin!
So where is she now?
She was unconscious for a few days,
but when she woke up, she said she would return to Gooknae Castle.
- She said she had something to do. - There is a message!
His Majesty has conquered four of Baekje's fortresses.
Sukhyun, Okchun, Eulmi and Aphae have been conquered.
Hyun Gong (Disciple of Guh Mool)
Tell me again. Tell me the king's message.
Tell me again.
His Majesty said that he would strike the middle of East and West Baekje.
If he does that, the reinforcements sent to this area will turn around and head back.
He has asked you to follow them, and strike Gwanmi Fortress together.
- Then Gwanmi Fortress... - Where is it?
The Symbol of the Blue Dragon...
It wasn't in East Baekje but west.
He sent me a false message and went himself to the west.
He said that we could conquer the sea if we strike Gwanmi Fortress and divide East and West Baekje.
Gwanmi Fortress...?
The symbol was there...
Commander! His Majesty has made himself a distraction for you!
- You must follow the retreating forces and strike them! - Commander!
The Baekje army is retreating!
Even the reinforcement armies are retreating!
There is nothing to think about. Let us attack Baekje!
- This is our opportunity to take Han Castle... - It is not Han Castle!
His Majesty has said that we must first strike Gwanmi Fortress!
Commander, why do you hesitate? We have 40,000 men!
Please... Follow His Majesty's orders.
His Majesty is doing this for you and your soldiers...
Who are you calling His Majesty?
Goguryeo's Gooknae Palace
What does the king of this country do with his ministers?
How can we not know whether he is on a hunt or at war?
Are we ministers or dogs in the field?
In any case, our king is on the battlefield and has conquered four fortresses!
This is a great thing for our nation!
But I have a question. The four fortresses that were conquered...
Who will be given control over them?
Don't you already know? It is certain to be the Chief of Julno!
He'll give one to his son and another to his nephew! He must be jumping with joy!
So what is happening with our Ho Gae who has taken all of our soldiers with him?
That's right. I am curious about that too.
Why has Ho Gae who took 40,000 men with him not even conquered a tiny little village?
My Lord!
Did you hear the news? His Majesty has conquered the fifth fortress!
He didn't even use one arrow to conquer!
What? Not even one arrow?
It is said that the subjects of the fortress opened the gates for him themselves!
It was a bloodless victory!
He has the guidance of heaven.
The people of Baekje are our brothers and sisters who were born under the same heaven.
All is the will of heaven.
At dawn tomorrow, we will begin the ceremony for victory.
- Tell everyone to make preparations. - I will obey.
Who is it? Halt!
High Priestess! High Priestess!
Have you been well?
Guardian of the Phoenix! What brings your important self here?!
I have a question to ask you. Thus I have made things a little more quiet.
I will ask you first.
The Phoenix is one of the four guardians of Joo Shin, and should be serving the king.
Am I wrong?
No, you are not.
From what the Temple of the Oracle has seen, the king is the true King of Joo Shin.
But do you not see it, guardian of the Phoenix?
- I see it. - You have murdered the king's father,
and serve another as the king. What is your intentions?
There is something the High Priestess does not know.
The power of the Phoenix did not always belong to it.
It first belonged to the Mother of the Earth, the Fire Priestess.
But it was stolen by the Joo Shin King.
Ever since I was young, I heard the story.
I was told to take back the power of fire, and take from them the power of Heaven.
And become the Mother of the Earth again.
But...
After I met him, I thought it all bothersome.
Everything is bothersome. I don't care about the future of the world.
I just wanted to live for one person.
But I was wrong.
What will you do?
- What shall I do? - Remember this. His Majesty trusted you most.
- That's what I thought too. - I also considered you my daughter.
- Yes, you did. - What will you do?
Forgive me.
First of all, I will take this temple.
What?
Will you give it to me?
I am increasing in power day by day.
Because there is something precious within me.
It is awakening me.
I am Mother of the Earth. I must prepare the Earth for my child.
And my child will become a true king, regardless of heaven or earth.
Help me.
High Priestess!
What happened? What happened to her?
I don't know. I...
High Priestess! Have you come to your senses?
High Priestess! High Priestess!
Did you see that? It is only the beginning.
I will first give you Goguryeo, child.
And after that, what shall I give you?
Wake up!
Stop sleeping and wake up!
They will have ridden hard for fifteen days.
The soldiers will be so tired they would rather be stabbed than fight.
The army sent by West Baekje to Ho Gae's location turned back two days ago.
They are coming here.
If they come here in our state, the result is obvious.
If we are found dozing like this, we will be slaughtered like mice!
- Is there no news yet from Ho Gae? - I know.
I don't know what has happened, but I have not heard back from Hyun Gong.
He should at least send back a report.
Do you really think he will come?
Do you think that Ho Gae...
... will really bring his troops here?
It is an imperial order! How could he dare to not...!
Both the king and the General... How naive you both are!
Look here.
What happens if he obeys the king's orders and brings the troops here.
Then who will be Commander? It would naturally be the king!
Ho Gae who commands 40,000 to be subject to the king who commands 4,000?
Do you think that's viable?
If he doesn't come, things will be complicated.
When the army from West Baekje turns around and comes here,
- ...if Ho Gae is not here to strike, then we're all... - There is only one way.
They say Gwanmi Fortress is impenetrable.
Then all we have to do is enter it.
If we enter it, we'll be safe!
If we are to enter an impenetrable fortress, then we first must penetrate it.
Are you suggesting that I send my men to sure death?
These soldiers are in battle! They do not fear death!
There are no such men under me!
If we just stay here, our men will die.
So let's go seek shelter even though it may mean our lives.
What kind of strategy is that?
We will wait until tomorrow evening.
If there is no word from Ho Gae, we will return to Goguryeo.
- What about the conquered fortresses...? - We will have to give it back to them.
These people have seen what I have done here. The next time they see me, they may open their gates.
That is enough for me.
Wait...!
What is the matter, Father?
Come here.
Did he tell you to not fight that night?
What?
On the night you were at Dae Ja Castle, he told you not to fight, did he not?
Yes, he did.
Let's stop this.
What are you doing, Your Highness? Why are you speaking to that dog!
They have seen my face.
I don't think they'll join me. I'll have to close their mouths forever.
- Ho Gae... - Speak!
- Your Highness! - Don't interfere.
You told me you would give up your lives for me.
Your Highness...!
He fought alone.
But those despicable Ho Gae's men... They started to shoot arrows.
Your Highness!
So....
Sueh Duru used his own body as a shield against the arrows for him?
Yes.
Alright. I understand now.
That's why he has become so weak.
That's why His Majesty is full of fear.
But I... I can't stand to see him cower!
Come with me.
Gooknae Castle - Yon Residence
They said he was weak and fragile! They said he couldn't even hunt!
But first he went to spar at the tournament, and now he's winning battles at war!
What is going on?
Your Excellency, the messenger is waiting.
Perhaps you should write a message to Lord Ho Gae first...
What should I write?
He has only 4,000 men and is shouting victory!
Everyone knows he has 40,000 and has accomplished nothing!
Should I write to tell him about it?
Not everyone knows about it.
The man who knows everything is here.
Did you know of this too?
Did you already we would be humiliated like this?
The fact that the King of Goguryeo took a mere 4,000 men and entered Baekje...
Most of the people don't know this.
That's why we slowly started to let them find out.
You let them find out?
By tomorrow, the news will have travelled to Gwanmi Fortress.
Therefore, by the following day...
Don't you think the much-feared Overlord of Gwanmi Fortress will do something about it?
And one more thing...
I have a very interesting piece of news.
There is a very famous blacksmith named Ba Son.
A man who worked for her told me an interesting story.
He told us that she is originally from the Heuksu Malgal Blacksmith Village.
What's so special about that village?
On the night of the Joo Shin Star, the light of the White Tiger shone from that village.
Whenever she was drunk she would always say how her brother went missing.
She said that he is in hiding with a precious object, and that he is waiting for the Joo Shin King.
She said that the Joo Shin King must come so that she can see her brother again.
That's why she went with this Joo Shin King.
But I didn't go! I didn't go! So please save me! Let me go!
The north...?
We have sent men out to look for a famous blacksmith living in secrecy.
That is why you must send a message to Lord Ho Gae to take his troops north.
What about His Majesty near Gwanmi Fortress?
It will be difficult for him to live much longer.
I suggest you don't worry about him.
Two third of the 40,000 men are volunteers.
Their leaders will demand to know the reason of the move north.
Heaven will send an answer.
The one who will receive this message must prepare himself.
~ Chanting ~
High Priestess, are you alright?
The Heavens sent us Lord Hwanwoong...
Lord Hwanwoong gave us Dan Goon.
This was for the world.
Jumong gave birth to the land between the Heavens.
Heaven sends this message...
All subjects scattered to the four corners of Joo Shin...
Mighty are you who have raised the land between the Heavens...
Now the new Joo Shin...
Joo Shin...
Become the ear of heaven...
And the eye of heaven...
Send new strength to them...
No... No!
You.... Kiha...!
High Priestess!
I thought of you as my mother too.
I really did.
So now go in peace.
High Priestess! High Priestess!
Give the Symbol of the Oracle to Kiha...
You should do what you ought to do.
I await the call of heaven.
The High Priestess has passed on to heaven.
Before she left, she designated the next High Priestess.
Encampment of Lord Ho Gae
It is a message! Open the gates!
It is a message from Gooknae Castle.
What does it say? Do we attack Han Castle or Gwanmi Fortress?
- It says to go north. - North? Which north?
It says North of Yoha. (North of Yoha - Yosu's northern area, Georan)
- It says the Symbol of the White Tiger is there. - What about the Blue Dragon in Baekje?
Will His Majesty also be going to the north?
Does... His Majesty not know?
The Temple of the Oracle received a message from heaven.
This letter was sent to us by the Cabinet.
This is what it says.
It is found that the Symbol of the Blue Dragon is at Gwanmi.
This can be taken by His Majesty, thus Ho Gae shall move north of Yoha.
- He shall take the Symbol of the White Tiger. - Do we abandon His Majesty then?
The army from West Baekje are all heading towards Gwanmi Fortress, and he only has 4,000 men...
- First Regiment! - Yes, Commander.
We will move the troops before sunrise.
- The second regiment will guard the supplies. - Yes, Commander.
The third and fourth regiment will wait until sunset and set off.
The fifth regiment will make sure that Baekje does not know of our plans.
Encampment of the King of Goguryeo
- North? - Yes, that's right.
They think the Symbol of the White Tiger is there.
And...
And the disciple Hyun Gong who went there at your bidding... has died.
His throat was slit... by Ho Gae...
This is clearly treason!
I will prepare the troops. We must first return to Gooknae...
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
They've disappeared! They're gone!
It's all gone! The weapons, the arrows, everything!
What kind of thief steals weapons for war?
Is this even possible?
They took five days ration... Five days ration for the entire army...
Where is General Heuk Gae and Jumuchi?
Your Majesty!
- What will you do? - We have to get them back.
They will all die.
Shall I do nothing?
The men who have disobeyed my orders and left for war...
Are you saying I should do nothing because they disobeyed my orders?
This is a battlefield. A king cannot ride alone.
- Six soldiers shall accompany me! - Yes, Your Majesty!
Is that good enough?
- This is not like you, Your Majesty! - What else should I do?
Those fools went to die!
I won't let them die again.
I will never let anyone die because of me.
Move aside, General Go Woo Choong.
Your Majesty...!
I, Go Woo Choong, am a General who couldn't even protect the late king.
I cannot let it happen again. Although I couldn't protect His Majesty...
... please let me keep my promise to him.
The late king put your safety in my hands.
- Sujini! - Yes.
Count the number of troops left so we can leave.
Yes, Your Majesty!
General...
I'll make sure you keep your promise to Father.
I will not die before you.
I promise.
Your men are so ugly!
You should stay with your men in the tents.
- Do you think the battlefield is for play? - Shut up and ride behind me!
They say a devil lives in Gwanmi Fortress. He can kill hundreds with one swing of his spear!
I will fight his spear with my axe. Grandfather General, you can follow slowly!
That little...! Let's go! Hurry!
Baekje Gwanmi Fortress
Ga Geun - General of Gwanmi Fortress & Teacher of Chuh Ro
You did well, very well.
It was great because your Teacher was great. Bow to your Teacher.
Do I deserve a bow when I have lost?
Do you think the spear is suitable for my son?
He is skilled in the other weapons, but he shows a special talent for the spear.
It is Ga Geun, Overlord.
I shall open the door.
Our spy at Gooknae Castle has sent a report.
They say that the army that defeated our fortresses are only 4,000.
The other overlords must have fallen for his trickery. (Chuh Ro - Overlord of Gwanmi Fortress)
One of their armies is headed towards north of our fortress.
- How many? - It looks to be slightly more than a thousand.
What shall we do? We can handle that number without you coming out to fight.
- Why? - What?
Why won't they leave us alone?
They shouldn't come.
They shouldn't come to die.
It looks empty.
Sit! Sit down!
They want us to go in. They don't want to come out.
- Are we really going to attack? - I say it again, but the Overlord is mine!
We've come all the way here for battle! Why are we hiding like rats?
- Aren't we going to fight? - If we fight like this, we're all dead!
Then Grandfather General, you can walk there. I'm going to run!
First, we must coax them out of the fortress.
- Do you know what they value the most? - I don't like to think. Just say what you mean!
Look, you're going to take your men and strike there.
Then those cowering bastards will send out their soldiers.
I'll take care of them. This is called war strategy!
So...
Where is that?
They will strike the shipyard.
That is the most valuable asset of Gwanmi Fortress.
Won't that be the plan for all armies that want Gwanmi?
Attack the shipyard, and wait for the soldiers to come out.
Strike the soldiers and break through the opened gates.
That's right.
But isn't that a bad idea?
That's only if the army outside is large.
We are too small an army and will be destroyed.
That's right. That's what I was trying to say.
General Heuk Gae will not have any other strategy other than to strike the shipyard.
The raid will be most likely by the Shiwoo Clan.
Then...
Select some men for me. And I need someone to command them.
I'll go!
Sujini!
No one can bring back Jumuchi other than myself. I have no choice.
The enemy has approached. They look to be about a thousand men.
If we didn't know their number, I would send out all the troops.
But we know that their number is only half of ours.
Shall we go out and take care of them?
We will wait.
The Maekgoong arrow of Goguryeo is famous for its strength and distance.
- If they fire up the arrows, then... - We will wait.
- Ga Geun. - Yes, Overlord.
Won't they just go back? Why can't they go back?
I will take the troops and take care of them.
I will make sure you don't have to be involved.
Their plan will be the same. It has always been that way.
Baekje Gwanmi Fortress Shipyard
Fire! Fire! Fire! It is the enemy!
Attack!
Do not think to fight for victory. Our goal is not to win.
First, we must bring the Baekje soldiers out of the fortress.
Second, we must make them believe.
They must believe that our numbers are many.
We will divide our soldiers into three and send them to three different directions.
We will strike and retreat. We'll use the same method from Sukhyun Fortress.
I have sent a message to General Heuk Gae to not strike the soldiers coming out of the fortress.
Add this to your message.
If he disobeys me again, he will join the battle as a soldier, not as a general.
I will make it clear to him.
Our king is enjoying himself.
Enjoying himself?
- His head and his heart do different things. - Different things?
His head says no, we have to run, we have to save the men!
But his heart is saying yes, it's good, let's fight!
Who says it's impossible! Let's fight!
What?
No no no... How can we know the mind of the Joo Shin King?
Baekje Gwanmi Fortress
We have lost the storehouses.
We need reinforcements immediately.
- Tell the Overlord. - Yes, Sir.
They're coming! They're coming!
This time there's about 3-400 soldiers!
This morning, they went west, and now they're going south.
What did I tell you? I told you His Majesty would help us!
When?
Watch and learn. This is what loyalty is.
His Majesty has a heavy burden and cannot move forward.
I have risked my life and moved the road for him.
- You know... - What is it?
What would you have done if His Majesty abandoned us? We disobeyed him and set out for war.
So even if he abandoned us and left, we...
Then we have to blame him.
We will have to die striking our chests in despair for not seeing victory!
So go and say this to His Majesty.
Tell him that soldiers have come out of Gwanmi Fortress in three waves, numbering 2000.
The soldiers left in the fortress will only be about 500.
Tell him to come and conquer Gwanmi Fortress!

Why aren't you coming? You said you would...
- The king has invaded Gwanmi Fortress. - With 4,000 men?
Even with ten times as many soldiers, it will be impossible to conquer Gwanmi Fortress.
That is the Overload of Gwanmi Fortress.
- This must be a dream. - Let's say it's a dream. Will you listen to me?
Your Majesty... What you are thinking... you can't!
Don't even think about saving Sujini.
I will make a request for you. When Dam Duk comes here, kill him for me.
There is no time.
Take all the land and people that you encounter as you follow the Sacred Symbol.
I will wait for you.
