"Captain!" "Get them!" "Run!" "Hyupbo!" "Attack!" "Attack!" "Captain." "I'd heard of them but this is beyond my imagination." "No wonder people shudder at the sound of their name." "Arrows bounce off, swords break..." "What should we do now?" "Get them by surprise." "They'll start searching for us." "I'll take on the Iron Army, you save the migrants." "You'll take them on alone?" "That's too dangerous." "Don't worry and do as I say." "You, you, that way." "You, follow me." "What?" "The Iron Army was wiped out and the migrants escaped." "Who are these people?" "How can anyone defeat the Iron Army?" "It was a surprise attack so no one knows how many there were." "Arrest the attackers immediately!" "The Finance Minister must not hear of this." " Be discreet." " I will." "(Hyunto Commandery)" "Those rascals." "What are they up to now?" "They wouldn't send the Iron Army for nothing." "Miss." "I just don't understand why your father came here." "He's here to see the Han Steel Officer." "You think I don't know that?" "But for what?" "Why would they tell us their secret?" "I don't know what he's thinking either." "We'll find out in due time." " When's the Steel Officer coming?" " He'll be here later today." "I hope you had a nice trip." "Thank you for your hard work." "Come inside." "Cheers." "Hyunto is doing fine... but people from Jinbun and Imdoon are returning to the mainland." "Jinbun and Imdoon had two new governors in just one year." "I know that too." "(Nogeun, Han Steel Officer) Who wants to be away from home so long?" "If the people continue to return... we won't be able to retain the migrants." "Please report this to the Emperor." "I will." "How are things with Puyo?" "Puyo's Prince Daeso is in Hyunto now." "What for?" "He wants to make a deal." "A deal?" "He wants to make steel weapons." "What?" "Your Highness." " How did it go?" " The governor wishes to see you." "He gave his approval." "We'll send some blacksmiths to teach you our techniques." "Thank you." "This is my daughter." "This is Puyo's Prince Daeso." "I'm Yangsullan." "I heard my father and King Kumwa were childhood friends." "They were but they don't get along now." "(Yangsullan, Yangjung's daughter) Will he approve of our marriage then?" "I'll take care of that." "I'll keep my end of the bargain." "Although my father arranged it..." "I was going to decline if I didn't like you." "But now I see you're very handsome." "Are you really going to marry his daughter?" "What about Lady Sosuhno?" "I'll be King one day." "Who cares how many wives I have?" "Marrying Yangjung's daughter means nothing to me." "What counts is whether Sosuhno will accept me." "How did it go?" "Yangjung will speak to you." "Good." "What will you do when you meet the Steel Officer?" "I doubt he'll give the secret away." "I already told you he won't take bribes." "Tell us what you'll do." "I'm going to pay him." "Would he sell such a secret?" "A merchant must be able to buy things that aren't up for sale." "Just wait and see." "A service isn't enough to comfort the public." "Then what should we do?" "We need someone to take responsibility." "Who's that?" "Yeomieul could be one." "Yeomieul?" "But the people still trust her." "Blaming her for all that's happened... could make things worse." "You must find someone we can put the blame on." "Jonggo." "Yes, Your Highness." "There's a storyteller who tells the people about Haemosu." " Find him and bring him to me." " I will, Your Highness." " Your Highness, this is Jonggo." " Come in." "Did you find him?" "Where is he?" "Your Highness." "The King executed him." "What?" "What brings you here?" "The sorceresses held a service to appease the angry gods... but it's done little to comfort the people." "Have you heard of the rumor about Haemosu?" "What's your point?" "I'm afraid you and Lady Yuhwa are mentioned too." "Go on." "The people think..." "Lady Yuhwa had Haemosu's child." " That Jumong is not your son but..." " What?" "Who dares to spread such nonsense?" " Your Majesty." "It's just a rumor." " Wasn't that... you and your brother's doing?" "Your Majesty." " How can you say that?" "Jumong... is my son." "Anyone who says otherwise risks losing his life." "Sorceress Soryung wishes to see you." "Let her in." "Have a seat." "This is Byuriha." "Sorceress Yeomieul cherishes her." "Even she acknowledges Byuriha's supernatural powers." "She has something to say." "Prince Jumong must leave Puyo." "He's not here." "He'll be back soon but he's away for now." "He must leave for good." "If he doesn't, he'll die." "Let's speed up!" "Captain, they're too slow." "Captain." "The Han army will catch up in no time." "Hyupbo." "Yes?" "You take them to safety." "We'll cover your back." "Leave Hyunto as fast as you can." "Are you sure?" "Don't worry about us." "Take them to safety and come to Hyunto." "Got it." "Oi, Mari." "Take good care of him." "Don't worry about us." "Take care." "Everyone, follow me!" "Speed up, everyone!" "We'll be out of Hyunto soon!" "Lord Yuntabal is here." "Let him in." "My name is Yuntabal." "Have a seat." "Why did you want to see me?" "I'm in charge of all commerce between Puyo and the Han." "We transport all goods to and from Puyo." "Then why didn't you visit when trade with Puyo was closed?" "What can a merchant do about a dispute between nations?" "Thanks to your grace, the relationship has been restored." "Forgive me for not visiting sooner." "Why did you send me the silk and rubies?" "Let's just say I wanted to apologize." "But I can't send a merchant back empty-handed." "Tell me what you want." "Well..." "On my way here I heard that Nogeun... a great merchant is here as the Steel Officer." "I rarely get the chance to meet great merchants." "It would be a great honor if I could meet and learn from him." "Could you help me, Governor?" "If it's that great an honor, I'll arrange a meeting." "Thank you." "Prince Daeso is in Hyunto." "What for?" "To amend the list of trade goods." "Amend the list of goods we trade?" "He can't do that, not without talking to us first." "He must be up to something." "How did it go?" "He'll arrange a meeting with the Steel Officer." "Let's go." "Hello." "My name is Yuntabal." "I'm honored to be able to meet you." "(Nogeun, Han Steel Officer) I too have heard much about you." "Not only is he a merchant... but he's chief of Jolbon Keru too." "Not many tribes can survive among powerful nations." "I heard you want to learn from me." "But there's nothing I can teach you." "Meeting you is an experience in itself." "I have a favor to ask of you." "Go on." "I'd like to buy your steel weapons." "What's going on?" "So this is what he wanted from me." "I'll have nothing to do with it!" "Sir." "Sir!" "What the heck was that about?" "!" "You want to buy steel weapons?" "If it will profit both you and us... then why not?" "What?" "Please calm down and hear me out." "If we buy weapons from you, you will profit in two ways." "First." "You worry about Puyo's growth." "Arm us with your steel weapons... and we'll keep them in check." "And we get to protect ourselves from powerful neighboring countries." "Second." "We've accumulated a big fortune compared to the size of our tribe." "But I know you're short on budget... because of the war against the Southwest Yi." "Selling weapons at such a time will definitely benefit you." "Please convince him." "If this works out, I'm sure it'll elevate your status too." "Very well." "I will talk to the Steel Officer." "But..." "Remember this." "I don't like surprises." "Put me on the spot like this again and you will pay for it." "Will the Steel Officer agree to it?" "Of course he will." "But we still don't know how to make them." "True." "But we have to learn how to handle them." "At least we'll learn the basic principles." "It all takes time." "Slow and steady wins the race." "What?" " Yuntabal and Sosuhno are gone?" " Yes." "But their workers are still here..." "Could they have returned to Keru?" "They have been here for a long time..." "I hope they never come back." "Your Highness." "I can't think of a way, I just can't." "I must win the competition..." "I can't think of a way to beat Daeso." "Do you have any ideas?" "Well, I have no..." "Your Highness." "What is it?" "Prince Daeso's strength is that he has a lot of people on his side." "News from Yuntabal's troop must be a big plus too." "Prince Daeso was always ahead because he knows all that happens." "Didn't they help Prince Jumong secure Gosan's salt?" "You're right..." "If you want to defeat your brother and win the competition... you must get rid of them." "You want me to kill Yuntabal?" "That's it." "Even the King trusts Yuntabal." "How can we pull that off?" "There's something I just don't understand." "Apart from being a merchant Yuntabal is also Lord of Jolbon." "Why is he in Puyo for so long?" "He wouldn't need to if it's only for business." "I'm sure he has plans of his own." "Yuntabal and Sosuhno are out of town." "See what you can find." " Search the place." " Sir!" " Ma'am, come outside." " What is it?" "Prince Youngpo's searching the troop." "I'm Yuncheryung, the person in charge." "What's this about?" "Han spies are posing as laborers." "I'm looking into it." "None of ours are spies." "Our troop is loyal to Puyo." "I know." "No need to worry if you're clean." "Wait aside." "Your Highness." "Welcome." "You searched Yuntabal's troop?" "What was the matter?" " His Majesty entrusted Yunta..." " I had a good reason." "Read this." "He'd looked into the Steel Officer... and Han's steel weapons, yet he didn't tell you." "Something's not right." "Your Majesty." "Yuntabal is not to be trusted." "Where is he now?" "He's in Hyunto." "Our job isn't to defeat them but to gain Hyupbo some time." "Oi, find a spot to corner them." "OK, captain." "Mari, find out how many there are." "OK." "Be quick." "Let's go." "Yangsullan seems to like you." "How about you?" "I've never seen such a beauty before." "I'm glad to hear that." "Puyo is worked up about the Steel Officer's visit." "Some think it's a strategic move to restrain Puyo." "That's not true at all." "He's only here to check on the soldiers." "I'm glad to hear that." "If that were so, would I let Yangsullan marry you?" "Governor, this is Dongsun." "Come in." "How did it go?" "The migrants got away." "What?" "What about the men we sent?" "The men helping them were everywhere." "They're few but they're expert archers." "They pierced the armor joints." "The joints?" "Yes." "Hyupbo!" "Captain!" "Captain." " Are the migrants safe?" " Yes." "They crossed the border towards Puyo." "Good job." "Are you OK?" "He got rid of every single Iron Army soldier." "We should eat, captain." "Hyupbo looks famished." " Let's look for a place to stay." " OK." "We must find out how many migrants are here... and where the prison workhouses are." "Captain." "What's all this about?" "Well..." "Hyupbo." "Yes, captain." "You shed a tear when you received your father's Damul tag." "Why did you?" "My father passed away trying to fulfill a great mission... but I'm pathetic compared to that." "I guess that's why I cried." "Do you know why I quit the Crown Prince competition?" "Wasn't it because of Buyoung?" "If I wanted to rescue her, I'd have attacked Dochi." "I quit the competition... because I didn't have a cause to become Crown Prince." "I felt pathetic, competing for no reason." "I'm sure that's how you felt." "But I now know what I should do." "Jeez..." "All this smoke..." " Your Highness." " Sir!" "Your Highness." "Why are you in Hyunto?" "Miss." "Miss." "See who's here." "Come in." "What are you waiting for?" "What happened?" "How did you...?" "The men helping them were everywhere." "They're few but they're expert archers." "They pierced the armor joints." "I'm overreacting." "That's impossible." " Your Highness, this is Naro." " Come in." "Lord Yuntabal and Sosuhno are in Hyunto." "I know which inn they're staying at." "You've lost weight." "You should look after yourself." "We did go through a lot... but if he looks pale then we must be all skin and bones." "Where have you been?" "What did you do?" "You'll be shocked to hear this." "My goodness..." "What is it?" "We helped some migrants escape a prison workhouse." "We got rid of the Iron Army." "Is that true?" "That's right." "Crazy fools." "Sayong, they've gone mad." "They've lost it." "You fought the Iron Army?" "Wasn't it dangerous?" "But I couldn't just sit back and watch." "I'm glad you're OK." "Why come to Hyunto after fighting the Iron Army?" "I wanted to see what the migrants are going through." "I'll go to Nakrang, Jinbun and Imdoon too." "Don't worry, I'll be careful." "What brings you to Hyunto?" "The Han Steel Officer is here." "Steel Officer?" "He's in charge of all the steel weapons." "My father wants to learn how to make steel weapons." "Is that possible?" "Everything's gone as plan so far but we have to see what happens." "Huh?" "Your Highness." "Where's Sosuhno?" "Huh?" "In her room..." "Prince Daeso is in Hyunto." "What for?" "He said it's about what we trade but I don't think that's true." "He seems to be very close with Hyunto's governor." "It's none of your business." "I'm here as the King's special envoy, not as your younger brother." "I need to know why the eldest prince is here in an enemy country." "You jerk!" "Do you think that petty achievement made you Crown Prince or something?" "Don't forget." "It's not over." "Sosuhno, it's me." "I'd heard you'd left Puyo." "Why are you in Hyunto?" "I've been wandering around and ended up here." "Sosuhno, were you expecting him?" "It's a coincidence." "A coincidence?" "Sit down." "Evil omens are rocking Puyo, putting everyone in distress." "Yet you're travelling the world." "Nice going." "And why are you here?" "You come here often." "Are you dealing with the governor in secret?" "What?" "Are you trying to frame me?" "I wonder why the future Crown Prince is in Hyunto when Puyo's in turmoil." "I'm here to make sure nothing hinders our trade... in the case of a future crisis." "There's no need to suspect anything." "You asked for me?" "Can you verify the men who helped the migrants... if you see them?" "There are some survivors so we should be able to." "But why?" "It'll take a few months to look around Imdoon and Jinbun." "I worry about you all the time ever since we parted." "Take care of yourself." "Captain, it's Mari." "Come in." "We're in trouble." "Han soldiers are surrounding the inn." "Our horses are in the stable." "Take them." "Captain!" "Your Highness." "Prime Minister." "I'm on my way to see the King." "Come with me." "Is it true you brought some blacksmiths?" "That's right." "I didn't think Yangjung would agree to it." "You've done Puyo proud." "You have laid the foundations of a rich and powerful nation." "Only you know of my deal with Yangjung." "Take it to your grave." "Of course I will." "Don't worry." "Let's go." "Is it true you accompanied some Han blacksmiths?" "Yes, Your Majesty." "Where are they from?" "They are Ancient Josun migrants." "They had escaped Hyunto's iron chamber." "I saved them from danger and brought them here." "Can they really make steel weapons?" "I haven't seen it myself... but we'll find out when we get them to work." "Send them to the iron chamber immediately." "I will, Your Majesty." " Did they really send blacksmiths?" " I can't believe it either." "But if they really tell us how to make them..." "I'll worship them for the rest of my life." "Welcome, Your Highness." "Mopalmo." "Yes?" "I'm sure you've heard." "Help them upgrade our weaponry." "I will, Your Highness." "Don't you dare mistreat them because they're migrants." "That won't happen." "As long as they teach us how, I'll serve them with my life." " Work hard." " We will, Your Highness." "Nice to meet you." "I'm Mopalmo, the director here." "Show me around." "You call this a sword?" "You should make kitchen knives." "Excuse me!" "It may not be much but we made it with our blood and sweat." "How can you be so rude?" "Blood and sweat?" "I'll show you what a sword looks like." "Make sure no one comes in while we're at work." "How are we supposed to learn if no one is allowed in?" "If you don't do as we say we'll leave right now!" "Jerks." "Let's see what they come up with." "I'll break their legs if their sword breaks." "Shouldn't you at least take a peek and see how they make those swords?" "What?" "Don't be ridiculous!" "I've never done anything to hurt my pride." "His Majesty is here." "Did you make all these?" "Yes." "How are they?" "I was just about to test them." "Give me one." "Captain." "You're not going to Puyo?" "Let's go to Mt." "Chunbu." "Giddyup!" "Captain." "Why are we here?" "I want to tell you something before we head back to Puyo." "I'm not returning to Puyo as a prince but as a descendant of the Damul Army." "My real father is Commander Haemosu of the Damul Army." "My father's unaccomplished mission is now mine to accomplish." "I will rescue the migrants from Han's persecution... and regain our lost land." "That is why I'm returning to Puyo." "Mari." "Hyupbo." "Oi." "Will you join me?" "Yes, captain."
