"Commander." "What is it?" "A group of people escaped the blockade." "What?" "Who were they?" "We couldn't find out..." "Do you have any idea?" "I do." "Some migrants probably just felt threatened." "It's not worth the worry." "Prince Daeso will be furious." "Keep quiet." "Yes, sir." "Since you killed Jumong, I'll give you the reward I promised." "One states your new title as a noble." "The other states your new estate." "Come on, take it." "I'm honored." "Bubunno." "Yes?" "I'll appoint you as Vice Commander." "Help Naro prepare for the war." "You're familiar with Jolbon... so organize the spies and think of ways to strike the enemy." "I will." "Eupru is a few hours away." "A man named Buwiyum is head of the pirates now." "But we don't know where he lives or what he looks like." "Gosh, I'd rather look for a needle in a haystack." "Commander, what should we do now?" "Do you know your way around Eupru?" "This is Sanchun, Magok and Geodu." "I'm sure the pirates trade their loot." "We should ask the merchants in the area." "I've done business in Sanchun and Magok before." "I'm sure they'll help us." "I'll go to Magok with Oi, Mari and Hyupbo." "You go to Sanchun with Jaesa, Mugol and Mukguh." "(Sanchun)" "Do you know who Buwiyum is?" "Do you know who Buwiyum is?" "(Magok)" "See what's going on." "Yes, sir." "Commander." "Oi." "What's going on?" "Okjuh soldiers are gathering young men to wipe out the pirates." "Then the pirates will be well-hidden." "We've got our work cut out." "Let's go into town for now." "OK." "Stop there!" "Let's go." "Aren't they Sachooldo's Jega?" "They wouldn't be here unless it's something important." "I heard Prince Daeso summoned them." "Prime Minister." "Do you have any idea what it's about?" "How have you been?" "I heard you're doing a good job in place of the late Maga." "Thank you." "I trust you will all help Puyo overcome this crisis." "We will serve you with all our heart." "Thank you." "I'll give you a chance to do just that." "I've summoned you all here to tell you to prepare for a war." "A war?" "What war?" "I'm going to attack Jolbon." "The King has already consented." "He has delegated me his full authority." "Don't you know the state we're in right now?" "The starving people are leaving Puyo." "You can't start a war." "Jolbon will collapse in due time." "We should just sit back and watch." "I agree." "Jolbon is in a crisis but they're still very strong." "Now that Jumong is dead, they're powerless." "My assassin has killed Jumong." "Jolbon won't admit to it yet... but Jumong didn't attend any of the meetings." "He's dead for sure." "If we attack right now, we can win." "We haven't even paid our soldiers." "We can't expect them to fight." "We can't guarantee victory unless the men are motivated." "You're right." "I'll pay their outstanding salary and distribute food to the people." "How will you do that when our finances are depleted?" "We can, if the nobles, ministers and the Jega pay for it." "Your Highness, we haven't acquired much wealth." "How can we pay for the war?" "We barely have enough to feed our families." "Forcing the nobles to pay will only make them angry." "Why go against the very foundation of Puyo?" "Our foundation is the people, not the nobles!" "The Foreign Minister and Tax Minister forced the people to pay their taxes... and the Court Minister conspired with merchants to gain great wealth." "You've been acquiring wealth while we were faced with a crisis." "Your Majesty, I'm offended." "I never acquired wealth for my own self." "Songju." "I've already looked into how much property you all have." "Those who give voluntarily and join our cause... will be compensated once we take over Jolbon." "Those who disobey will be audited." "If anyone is found to have accumulated dirty money... his fortune will be confiscated and his family will be killed." "You asked for me?" "Sorceress Mauryung." "Yes?" "We're preparing for a war with Jolbon." "I want you to hand in everything that belongs to the Shrine." "Your Highness." "Whatever the circumstance, our property mustn't be touched." " It's for the gods..." " Be quiet!" "I'm trying to save Puyo here because the gods aren't doing anything!" "If you refuse, I'll take it by force." "It's hard to believe, but it's true." "Jumong has disappeared, just like that." "It's a pity I don't get to see you cry your heart out... but the pain will be unbearable when reality hits you." "You asked for me, Your Majesty?" "I realized how loyal you are while examining the ministers' assets." "You've served three Kings yet you barely have enough to eat." "Let me apologize for being hostile towards you." "I should've known better." "We'll get through this together and make Puyo a stronger nation." "The King has bestowed you with silver and food." "Thank you, Your Majesty, but I can take care of my family." "Don't mind us." "No." "Please accept it." "I'm more than honored, Your Majesty." "Your Majesty." "What is it?" "Lady Yuhwa requests your audience." "A terrible rumor about Jumong is spreading through the Palace." "Have you heard it?" "Have you?" "I think something bad has happened to Jumong." "Something bad?" "What's that?" "From what I've heard..." "I think Jumong is dead." "Yuhwa." "I don't buy it." "But if you say so, I'll gladly check his corpse." "I'll let go of all the hard feelings if you let me and Yesoya leave." "Yuhwa." "You won't need hostages now thatJumong's dead." "Let us go." "I can't." "Your Majesty." "Jolbon will turn into a battlefield the minute the Han and Puyo attack." "If you go now, I can't guarantee your safety." "I know how you feel but I can't send you to your death." "Do you really know how I feel?" "Do you know what it feels like to hear of your son's death?" "I'm just as sad as you are." "I tried to sever my ties with him but he's still my son." "I'll protect you and Yesoya." "I'll raise Yuri to make up for it." "If you really thought of Jumong as your son... then you wouldn't dare wage war against the Damul Army." "Please." "Stop deceiving yourself." "You say you're protecting me, but you're making my life a living hell." "Let me ask you one last time." "Let us go." "You can call me an obsessed hypocrite if you want... but I can't let you go." "You never loved me back." "I thought things would get better if I held onto your empty glances... but you never thought of me the way I cherished you." "If I can't have your heart, then I'll keep your body at least." "You'll stay with me until I die." "(Downtown Magok)" "How did it go?" "I found a merchant who trades with Puyo." "He's at the tavern." "Let's go." "I work for Sosuhno." "You want to buy seal fur?" "Yes." "You're late." "Mr. Oh from Haengin bought all we have." "I heard the pirates smuggle seal fur." "I'll pay you handsomely." "Let me meet Buwiyum, the pirate captain." "You can't meet him unless he approaches you." "Help me." "That's him." "Step back!" "I want to see your captain." "I don't want to fight." "Lead us to him." "Mr. Yu in Magok sent them." "They have a letter from him too." "I'm Buwiyum." "You want to trade with me?" "I'm disguised as a merchant... but I'm Jumong, Commander of the Damul Army." "I came all the way here to make a deal." "Jumong?" "I might be in hiding but I still know what's going on." "Jumong can't leave Jolbon because of the blockade." "Why would he come here?" "We have our reasons." "Daesan." "Yes?" "Bring me a big jar of wine." "Yes, sir." "Let's see if you are who you claim to be." "Drink this." "Drink up!" "Tie him to that tree." "Yes, sir." "I heard Jumong is a master archer." "Shoot that target next to him." "Don't just stand there." "Hurry up!" "I don't like playing games." "If you don't believe me, just kill me instead." "If you're going to die anyway, shouldn't you die trying?" "I'll let you live if you hit the target." "Commander!" "Shoot." "You must be Okjuh soldiers." "Kill them!" "Why won't you believe us?" "This is Commander Jumong!" " He is!" " Shut up!" "It's the army!" "We're under attack!" "Fight!" "(Buwiyum's hideout in Eupru)" "Follow me." "You come this way." "Sail south for hundreds of miles?" "It's the only way to get food to survive the embargo." "I thank you for saving my life but I can't go on a suicide mission." "No one sets sail now because of the wind." "(Buwiyum, pirate captain) We'll die before we reach the south." "I know it'll be difficult... but you've sailed the sea for decades." "I risked my life to come here." "Jolbon will collapse if I return with nothing." "I can't let them down when all they want is to fight the Han." "Help me." "Very well." "I'll sail south as you want, but... make me an offer we can't refuse." "We have to do whatever we can to convince him." "He knows the situation we're in." "He won't go for just anything." "What more does he want from us?" "It's hard to say." "He holds the key to the deal." "Take it away." "Your Highness." "If the King won't let me go..." "I'll join Jumong in death." "He'll let you and Yuri go if I die." "Your Highness." "Your Majesty." "You must stop Lady Yuhwa." "She hasn't eaten for days." "She might even die." "How is she?" "She went on a hunger strike outside the King's chambers." "She's been out in the cold for four days and nights." "The wretched woman." "She's trying to kill herself." "The King is ignoring her." "Now that Jumong is dead the King doesn't need a hostage." "Why won't he let her go?" "He still wants to win her heart." "Your Highness!" "Your Highness!" " Your Highness!" " Your Highness!" "Your Highness..." " Your Highness!" " Your Highness!" "Your Highness..." "Your Highness." "Hurry up, take her to her chamber." "Yes, sir." "Your Highness, I'm here." "How do you feel?" "You've gained consciousness but you'll die if you don't take this." "Please drink some." "I'm ready to die." "I have nothing to fear." "You're dismissed." "I have something to tell you." "I'm the assassin Prince Daeso sent to Jolbon." "I told Prince Daeso that I'd killed the Commander... but he's not dead." "Is Jumong really alive?" "I don't know why he's missing but he's alive for sure." "The Commander told me to report his death... so I could save my family Prince Daeso was holding hostage." "My family is safe now." "I'll go to Jolbon sometime soon and serve the Commander." "I'll think of a way to get you out." "Please look after yourself." "Hope you had a nice trip." "Have a seat." "I received your letter but I still can't believe it." "Is Jumong really dead?" "He is." "What a pity." "I wanted to kill him myself." "Once I take overJolbon..." "I'll offer his head to the Emperor and win back his trust." "Do whatever you want." "Thanks." "The ministers wanted to attack Jolbon without your help... but instead, I shared a secret." "Since we're in it together, you must do something for me." "What is it?" "Feed my soldiers during the entire war." "You can't expect us to feed them all." "Prince Daeso killed Jumong, which weakened Jolbon." "It's your turn to do something." "The war will be short and you won't lose any men." "You have nothing to lose." "Very well." "We'll provide your provisions." "Governor." "What is it?" "Mr. Hwang is here." "Who's Mr. Hwang?" "A relative of the Emperor." "He wants to replace me." "I lost the Emperor's favor... because he badmouthed me." "I didn't think I'd meet you here." "Mr. Hwang." "This is my brother, Prince Daeso." "(Hwangjagyung, Han Emperor's relative)" "I've heard a lot about you." "The Emperor heard about the alliance and was very impressed." "Long time no see." "Hope you had a nice trip." "What brings you here?" "Your request for more provisions has upset the Emperor very much." "He was so upset..." "I volunteered to come and offer some help." "I'm here to help you out." "Tell me whenever you need something." "Thanks for the offer but I won't need your help." "I'll organize a small feast for you." "I hope you enjoy your stay." "Very well." "I'll sail south as you want, but... make me an offer we can't refuse." "What are they doing?" "They're racking their brains but I think they're lost." "How can he help Jolbon... when he can't even satisfy me?" "I'm off to see Buwiyum." "Will you make an offer?" "Yes." "Tell me what you have." "Are you kidding me?" "!" "I'm not kidding you." "What I'm offering you can't be measured by wealth." "I saw you leave the bodies of your men behind." "They're on the run most of the time... and you can't even afford a funeral." "Are you lecturing me?" "My father Commander Haemosu... fled from the Han during his lifetime and wasn't even buried after he died." "But his dream, his mission, still lives on in our hearts." "But what about your men who die in vain with no hope?" "This is what we'll call our nation once we overcome the embargo." ""Koguryo"" "I'll give you and your men a chance to live and work with dignity." "Don't throw your lives away." "Help me build Koguryo, the brightest nation under the sun." "Will you accept his offer?" "I'd love to escape the Okjuh army... but is it worth dying for?" "He's right." "It's suicide to set sail at this time of year." "What do you say?" "This is all my father left me." "My father fought with the Damul Army under Commander Haemosu." "Everyone in the hideout was killed after Haemosu was captured... but my mother and I barely escaped." "I was shivering so my mother gave me my father's bloody clothes." "We had to leave him behind, dead and naked." "I'll never forget it." "I refuse to live on as a criminal." "I will serve you and make my father's dream come true." "How did it go?" "Buwiyum has decided to serve me." "Really?" "We don't have much time." "We have to leave now." "But Buwiyum's men aren't cut out to be merchants." "What should we do?" "I'll... go with them." "My Lady, the trip will be very rough." "Everything will fall apart if something happens to you." "I'll get what we need." "Trust me." "Let me go." "I don't want to send you on such a rough journey." "I'm afraid too." "But whenever I'm scared..." "I'll think of you." "Of how you lead the migrants." "I won't die in vain." "Don't worry." "I'll come back... and help you realize your dream." "You must get back and look after the people." "This is a steel sword." "It's the best there is." "Even stronger than the Han's or Puyo's." "You'll get to make these too." "Mopalmo, Mopalmo..." "Mopalmo." "Shh, I'm in the middle of a lesson." "Forget the lesson." "Come here for a minute." "People are saying that the Commander is dead." "I'm afraid all this might get out of hand." "We knew this would happen but there's nothing we can do." "It'll all blow over when the Commander returns." "It's out of our hands." "My goodness." "We have to do something." "The chiefs are having a meeting." "A meeting?" "We're isolated because of Han and Puyo's embargo." "And Puyo's preparing to attack us." "I want to ask Commander Jumong what he plans to do about this." "Call the Commander." "You can't talk to him now." "Why not?" "Is he really dead, like the people say?" "What are you talking about?" "The Commander isn't dead." "Even Sosuhno has disappeared." "Yuntabal." "Tell us what's going on." "Where's the Commander?" "I can't tell you." "I can't trust you until I meet him." "He's the one who failed to protect us against Puyo and the Han." "We'll take matters into our own hands." "Let's go." "I'll talk to Songyang before attacking Jolbon." "He'll want to avoid a war once he finds out Jumong is dead." "We'll be ready to attack as soon as you return."
