"(Hyunto Commandery)" "Any news about the Puyo army?" "Oh, that." "It'll take time to mobilize such a large army." "Tell our spies to update us every day." "I will, Governor." "Prince Daeso's bodyguard is here." "Bring him to me." "What is it?" "Prince Daeso told me to give this to you." "Jumong left Puyo with a detached force." "He's after Nakrang's supplies and our reinforcements." "The shortest way from Nakrang to Jinbun is through Akbu Ridge." "Jumong will be waiting for them." "Tell the Nakrang army to make a detour." "I will, Governor." "Next will be our reinforcements." "Where will he go?" "There are three routes." "Snake Tail Valley is the hardest but shortest route." "There's Mokpi Ridge... and the Sanmook grassland which is a fortnight-long detour." "Our men will cross Snake Tail Valley to Jinbun." "Governor." "I'm sure Jumong will anticipate that." "I want to see him." "Snake Tail Valley will be his grave." "Send the Iron Army... straight to Snake Tail Valley." "Yes, Governor." "Prince Daeso sent this." "The war seems to be inevitable now." "My heart sinks as I'm forced to fight against my will." "This will create more conflict between our nations... but it won't change my feelings for you." "Please understand." "I understand how he feels so tell him not to worry." "I will." "Why are we stopping?" "We're not going to Akbu Ridge." "But that's the route Nakrang's troop will take." "We even planned our attack." "Why change your mind?" "They should know of it by now." "Huh?" "You mean Prince Daeso?" "They'll think we'll be waiting at Akbu so they'll make a detour." "If they do, I think they'll go this way." "I think so too." "It's a plain so it'll be hard to ambush." "Our enemies will think so too." "We'll attack when they least expect it." "Welcome." " You're practicing battle formations?" " Yes." "We practiced circular, goose-flight, square and wedge-shaped formations." "Goose-flight formation only works when we outnumber the enemy." "Train them on circular, square and wedge-shaped formations." "I will." "How about our steel swords?" "We can replace all our swords before we go to war." "I will take charge from here." "Form your ranks!" "Red attacks white's square... in wedge-shaped formation." "Red attacks white's square... in wedge-shaped formation!" "White defends with circular formation." "White to circular formation!" "Prince Daeso is at it in person." "From what I've seen, our men are best with the wedge-shaped formation." "Since we'll be making the first move... it will work to our advantage." "I saw that too." "Prince Daeso's expertise with the formations was amazing." "Daeso." "Yes, Your Majesty." "You're in charge of preparations until Jumong rejoins us." "Pay attention to every single detail until we face Jinbun and Imdoon." "I will do my best." "Daeso." "What is it?" "What are you doing?" "I just don't get it." "You don't get what?" "Are you really in this forJumong?" "He'll get the credit for whatever we do." "This is about Puyo now." "We have to win first, regardless of who gets the credit." "Are you going to burn a house to get rid of the mice?" "I just don't understand him." "Jeez..." "Your Highness." "Dochi is here to see you." "Where is he?" "What is it about?" "I have something urgent to say." "Go on." "Leave us." "This war will do you no good." "I know that too." "Why don't you use it to your advantage?" "What do you mean?" "Wars like this are a great chance to make money." "Help me out here and I'll make you a handsome profit." "Yuntabal is our official supplier." "But suppliers run a risk as big as the profit they're after." "I don't want to risk my life for money." "Then what's your plan?" "Everyone's stocking up since news of the war got out." "Prices are going through the roof." "Let me sneak through the boundary... and I'll get Okjuh and Haengin to send some commodities." "This is Naro." "Come in." "What will Yangjung do?" "He told the Nakrang army to make a detour... and sent the Iron Army to Snake Tail Valley." "He did the right thing." "Did you meet Yangsullan?" "Yes." "She told you not to worry as she understands how you feel." "I doubt she really does..." "Well done." "Get some rest." "Hurry up!" "And the dried beef and fish?" "We have more than enough." "Don't worry." "By the way, do we have enough guards?" "Why don't we call some Keru soldiers?" "Songyang might attack at any time." "We can't afford to do that." "If we need more men, I'll ask the King." "We have a few more days before the main army makes a move." "Why don't we make a head start?" "Our pace will be much faster anyway." "I think that would be more efficient." "She has a point." "If we move separately, the Han might not notice us." "Very well." "I think this spot here will become the battlefield." "Yes." "We can camp right here." "Good." "I'll meet the King to discuss this matter." "Wootae, gather the guards and get ready to leave." "I will, my Lord." " My Lord." " What is it?" "Miss." "Prince Daeso is here to see you." "What brings you here?" "I'm in charge of preparations so I came to check on the supplies." "We're ready to leave anytime." "Go ahead." "My men will check and report to me." "Do you have any problems?" "No." "We've been preparing for a long time." "Thanks for volunteering to be our supplier." "I'll suggest the King reward you greatly." "Just being your supplier will make us more than enough profit." "Sosuhno." "How long do you think I'll wait for you?" "Jumong has pushed me aside for now, but soon it'll be the other way round." "When that happens, goodness knows what I'll do if you turn me down." "What's the matter?" "The threats are much more open." "And it'll get worse for as long as you're here." "I used to think he was OK but I can't stand him now." "You bet our future on this war... on the premise that Prince Jumong leads us to victory." "But what will you do if it doesn't work out?" "I haven't thought about that and I don't need to." "That's not something a leader should say." "You must be prepared for anything." "We abandoned the Han to side with Puyo." "We can't afford to ignore Prince Daeso." "Be more prudent." "This is it." "Take your places and rest until they pass by." "Yes, Commander." " Let's go." " Giddyup!" "Eat up." "Chundong." "Aren't you scared?" "I'm OK." "He'll grow up to be one strong man." "Like me?" " Let's go." " OK." "Relax." "I didn't bring you along to make you fight." "Watch us beat the Han... and let go of the hatred inside you." "A grudge can be both a strength and a weakness." "If you wish to avenge your parents... don't let it control you." "Revenge will only come when you feel and know why we must beat the Han." "Do you understand?" "Yes, Commander." "They're coming." " To your posts." " OK." " To your posts." " To your posts." "Do not attack before my signal, OK?" "Attack!" "What..." "What did you just say?" "I said I'm going to slash the Han with this sword." "You want to join the war?" "But blacksmiths are exempt from military duty." "I've always wanted to make a sword stronger than the Han's... and use it to slit their throats." "This is a golden opportunity." " Dokgo." " Yes, sir." "I'm off to the battlefield so you're in charge now." " Sir..." " No, no." "Wait, wait." "But if you go, then I have to too." "Of course." "You're supposed to protect me." "Why does it have to be me?" " Don't go." "Let's not go." " Sir..." "Why are you here?" "Lady Yuhwa wants to see you." "Lady Yuhwa?" "Me?" "You asked for me?" "Shamans are spreading rumors that Puyo will lose the war." "I want you to arrest those shamans and bring them to me." "I will." "Do you remember the omens that appeared all over Puyo?" "Even the gods are saying Puyo will lose this war." "The Han will kill every single Puyo soldier." "Not even you commoners will be able to survive." " Him." "Take him in!" " Yes, sir!" "What's this about?" "Hold your tongue!" "Go home!" "Don't let his nonsense get to you!" " Take him!" " Yes, sir." "Go home!" "You're feeding nonsense to the people and it's confusing them." "I wonder who made you all tell the same story." "Tell me who that is." "That's impossible, Your Highness." " The gods told us..." " Be quiet!" "Musong." "Your Highness." "Behead anyone who refuses to talk." "I will." "I'll ask again." "Who gave the orders?" "Your Highness, have mercy upon us." "Then tell the truth!" "It was the Queen and Sorceress Mauryung." "Tell them both to come over." "I will." "What the heck is this about?" " Bring them over." " Yes, Your Highness." "These shamans have been confusing the people with false rumors." "What about them?" "I believe you and Sorceress Mauryung instigated this." "Your Highness, do you mean that?" "I never did such a thing." "Are you framing me?" "!" "Must you hear them confess?" "Such instigation at a time like this is treason." "The Jega's opposition was enough to anger the King." "I wonder what he'd do if he heard about this." "Your Highness." "Sorceress Mauryung." "Now is the time to unite, even if you don't like what's going on." "Do something like this again, and I won't let it slide." "Jeez..." "It's an ambush!" "Attack!" "Sayong!" "Are you OK?" "Sayong." "Get out of here." "Miss..." "Now!" "Drop your sword." "(Songyang, Piryu chief) You wretch." "I told you I wouldn't forgive you for insulting me." "I'll show you what happens to those who go too far." "I'm not the Sosuhno you know." "I'm now in charge of Puyo's ordnance." "I don't think you know what you got yourself into." "When this is over, you'll lose more than your life." "You spiteful wretch." "You don't seem to realize the pickle you're in." "Chief!" "We should chop her head off and show Keru how powerful Piryu is." "Not yet." "We need her to get to Yuntabal." "Send a message to Yangjung." "Tell him we have Puyo's supplies." "OK, Chief." "My Lord." "My Lord." " What is it?" " It's Sayong..." "Sayong!" " Sayong." " My Lord..." "What happened?" "It... was an ambush..." "Who was it?" "Tell me!" "Piryu chief..." "Songyang...." "Sayong!" "Sayong!" "Come on." " Get a doctor!" " Yes, my Lord." "Sayong!" "Wake up." "How is he?" "He was lucky." "Had it been a little deeper he would've lost his life." "Thank you." "My Lord." "Songyang sent this." "What does it say?" "He wants me to resign... and make Keru a subject of Piryu." "Shouldn't we check if Sosuhno is still alive?" "He won't have killed her yet." "I'm the one he's after." "I didn't know he'd go this far." "He caught me off guard." "I'll go to Keru and bring back our army." "Yuntabal, we lost our supplies." "Shouldn't you tell King Kumwa?" "Your Majesty, we're all set." "We await your order." "We leave as soon as I receive news from the detached force." "Your Majesty, Lord Yuntabal is here." "Let him in." "What brings you here?" "Your Majesty." "Our ordnance troop was ambushed on the way to the battlefield." "We can't mobilize the main army without any supplies to sustain us." "How could you mobilize the troop with men who can't handle an ambush?" "Your Majesty." "We shouldn't have entrusted a small tribe with such a heavy duty." "Your Majesty." "Starting over will take too much time and it'll put us at a disadvantage." "This will discourage the men... even before the war starts." "We can't go to war in this situation." "Summon Commander Jumong, hold him responsible... and think of a plan." "What happened to Sosuhno?" "Songyang's after me so he won't have killed her yet." "I must think of a way to save her." "Why would Songyang do such a thing?" "Piryu wants to conquer Keru so he sided with Hyunto's governor." "You mean Yangjung is behind this?" "I believe so." "Daeso." "It's a great opportunity to hold Jumong responsible." "We shouldn't let it go." "Naro." "Yes?" "I must save Sosuhno and her troop." "If this delays the war, we can use it againstJumong." "That's not all." "It might even be called off." "So why should we save them?" "They volunteered for our sake." "I can't let them die like this." "Your Majesty." "I'm sorry to say so but we can't go on without supplies." "We can't afford to start over either." "Your Majesty." "You mustn't enforce this war." "We still stand a chance." "Let's wait." "What chance do we have?" "If Jumong succeeded, he'll have taken hold of Nakrang's supplies." "But Your Majesty." "We can't set off without knowing how they did." "I trust Jumong." "We will wait." "Whoa." "The Puyo soldiers will take over now." "These are Nakrang's provisions, fodder, swords and arrows." "Great job." "The King will be very pleased." "You have eased his concerns." "Concerns?" "What do you mean?" "Yuntabal's troop is in trouble." "They made a head start... but were attacked by the Piryu tribe." "They're being held hostage." "Do you know who the leader is?" "I heard it's Sosuhno, Lord Yuntabal's daughter." "Huh?" "It's an ambush!" "Fall back!" "Fall back!" "We're completely surrounded." "We'll camp here and put up a fight." "Our mission is to delay Hyunto's reinforcements." "While we do that, our main army will launch a surprise attack on Jinbun." "Take your places... and withstand the Iron Army." "Yes, Commander." "I can't leave the Palace so I need you to save Sosuhno." "Don't worry, Your Highness." " Go." " Your Highness." " Let's go!" " Yes, sir!" "Halt!" "Whoa." "Tell them to wait while you come with me." "I'm in a hurry." "I said follow me." "Are you on your way to save Sosuhno?" "Yes." "Prince Daeso told me to." "Take the soldiers but don't save the troop." "But Prince Daeso ordered me to..." "Didn't you hear her?" "How dare you talk back to the Queen!" "She'll take care of everything." "He's right." "Do as I say and no harm will come your way." "I'm doing this for Daeso." "Sayong must've reached Lord Yuntabal by now." "Why isn't anyone here yet?" "Don't worry." "I'm sure he'll do something." "This wouldn't have happened if you hadn't provoked Songyang." "You should've killed him or just left him alone." "You shouldn't have upset him." "Father." "Why, am I wrong?" "He's right." "This is all my fault." "I put both Keru and Prince Jumong in trouble." "Miss..." "How did it go?" "Commander Jumong defeated Nakrang's ordnance troop." "The supplies are being transferred." "I knew he would do it." "We leave as soon as the ordnance arrives." "Your Majesty." "We must attack Songyang and take back what we lost." "If the Han get our supplies, Jumong's efforts will have been in vain." "I already sent some soldiers so please postpone the expedition." "Very well." "Fall back!" "Commander." "How did it go?" "We handed the supplies over." "Well done." "But we have a problem." "Piryu chief Songyang attacked our troop and took Sosuhno prisoner." "She left ahead of the main army but..." "(Keru)" "Shouldn't you be in Puyo?" "Why are you here?" "Piryu chief Songyang attacked the troop and took Sosuhno prisoner." "I'm going to take Keru's army to save her." "Mobilizing the soldiers will put her in danger." "We must find another way." "Is there another way?" "Negotiate with Songyang." "Give him all he wants." "We must save Sosuhno first, then take back what we lost." "Songyang probably wants my life." "I can and will die if that will save Sosuhno." "I will meet Songyang." "My Lord." "I will negotiate with him." "He can't do much to a sorceress like me." "Yeomieul." "You took me in." "It's time I do something in return." "We haven't had a drink in two days." "Keep this up and we'll starve to death." "Commander." "If that's what will happen, I'd rather die fighting." "We'll burst through and head for Songyang's camp." "Take your positions." "Yes, Commander." "Still no news from Yuntabal?" "Not yet." "I need to go to Hyunto." "Are you going to hand the supplies over?" "What else can I do if Yuntabal won't accept my offer?" "If King Kumwa finds out, it could get serious." "That's why I'm going to use Yangjung." "Get ready to leave." "Yes, Chief." "Looks like your father doesn't care." "He won't respond to my offer even when your life is on the line." "My father can abandon his own child if he thinks it will do him good." "But then, perhaps he's attacking Piryu while you've been enjoying my company." "If I die, then so will you." "Preposterous tramp." "You'll regret you said that." "If I don't hear anything by tonight... you will die." "Miss." "We're about to die here." "Beg for his forgiveness." "We're under attack!"
