"Your Majesty." "What I've done cannot be forgiven." "But please give me a chance and let me join the advance guard." "Very well." "I'll grant you that chance." "Your favors are immeasurable." "Listen up!" "I appoint Jumong as the commander of the advance guard." "Daeso and Youngpo are to assist him... and lead this war to victory." "Your Highness." "Prince Daeso is here." "Daeso." "Mother." "Are you OK?" "My incompetence has caused you much concern." "Forgive me." "Not at all." "You've done nothing wrong." "You've done nothing wrong at all." "You haven't done anything wrong." "I'll do whatever it takes to pay Yuhwa and Jumong back." "Your Majesty." "How can I be in command with Daeso fighting as a commoner?" "I can't order Daeso and Youngpo around." "Please take it back." "No." "There's a reason I put you in command." "Just do as I say." "Jumong." "Yes, Your Majesty." "You and I must lead this war to victory." "Only that will stop the Jega and the Queen from challenging me." "I want you to be in charge of all preparations." "Do you understand?" "Yes." "We're both taking a great risk." "If we lose, I'll be in danger of losing the throne... and you won't be able to protect your mother." "I know how awkward it must be for you... but we have no time for sentimentality." "We must concentrate on winning this war." "At least he's still alive." "We might as well find a way to impress the King and..." "Bulgae." "Do you mean that?" "Do you wantJumong to get all the credit?" "You must do all you can to stay out of this war." "They're just stringing you along." "I can't do that." "I already said I'd join as a commoner." "Then what?" "You're going to help Jumong?" "This might just become an opportunity to turn things around." "Your Highness." "I know how insulted you must feel." "But you must endure it." "It takes much to become a King." "I've studied the stars for a long time but I only learned one thing." "The heavens do not choose a hero." "The hero's willpower lights the heaven and the earth." "As a star shines in the dark, so trials bring forth a true king." "The greater the trials... the more you will learn and grow." "Consider this part of the training and try to stand firm." "Thank you." "I'll remember what you said and make sure I pull through." "We're both taking a great risk." "If we lose, I'll be in danger of losing the throne... and you won't be able to protect your mother." "Stop!" "Welcome." "Nice work." "His Majesty has declared war againstJinbun and Imdoon." "The day we fight for Puyo and our King is drawing near." "We will be up against the Iron Army, who will lead the Han army." "We've been preparing but we still have a long way to go." "As of today, we will train day and night until the day we attack." "I want you to fight with all you have." "Do you understand?" "!" "Yes, Commander!" "What?" "You mean your rank is below Prince Jumong?" "Yes." "That's what it came down to." "How could this happen?" "Something's going terribly wrong." "Jumong's my commander?" "Does that make sense?" "When did it start to go so wrong?" "I wanted to make Daeso and Jumong fight each other." "But instead, I'm caught in the middle." "Jumong will get the credit for whatever I do now." "Why am I so unlucky?" "Why...?" "Do you have any ideas?" "No matter how much I try, I can't think of anything." "Dang..." " Bye, Your Highness." " Goodbye." " Handang." " Yes, sir." "I feel sorry for Youngpo but things are looking good for us." "What do you mean?" "A war is a chance to make big money." "Puyo will be in great chaos." "Every commodity will become very scarce and very valuable." "Send a message to Haengin and Okjuh." "I want to stock up as much as I can." "Yes, sir." "I will." "Daeso, it's me, Youngpo." "Come in." "Are you really going to serve Jumong in the war?" "What else can I do?" "I said I would to preserve my life." "If you have a better idea, do tell me." "Well..." "Even then, this is absurd." "How can we serve...?" "If we win, Father might make Jumong Crown Prince." "That's a possibility." "Daeso!" "Don't you care anymore?" "I can't stand it." "I won't just stand and watch." "Didn't you say you'd slash the Iron Army?" "What made you change your mind?" "I didn't know this would happen..." "Daeso." "If we can't stop the war, we have to stop Jumong leading us." " If we get rid of him..." " Don't even think about that!" "He won't fall for your silly tricks." "And I'm sick of covering up for you." "Please stop trying to help from now on." "Do you get it?" "Come with me." "Louder!" "Louder!" "Commander." "What brings you here?" "His Majesty ordered us to assist you so we're here to do just that." "Tell me." "What do you want us to do?" " Daeso." " Be quiet." "His Majesty did say so but I can't order you around." "We're fighting for Puyo." "Anything you do will do Puyo proud." "Very well." "I'm curious as to see what you'll do with the advance guard." "Let Youngpo and me join the strategy meeting... and I'll do all I can to help." "I'll call you the next time I meet with the Chief General." "Commander." "Will you really invite them to the strategy meeting?" "Prince Daeso's close to Yangjung, the leader of our enemy." "He might give our strategy away." "Don't worry." "I have plans of my own." "Welcome back." "I apologize for taking my time." "How do you feel?" "I'm fine." "Yeah, right." "Poison doesn't just go away like that." "He should've stayed in bed longer but we left as soon as we heard." "You should rest then." "Not at all." "My father's overreacting." "I heard Puyo's going to war againstJinbun and Imdoon." "Yes." "And we're going to be Puyo's supplier." "I thought you'd completely recovered." "Get some more rest." "I'm OK, really." "Besides, how can I rest when we need to prepare for a war?" "Thank you." "I'd be dead if it weren't for you." "I should thank you." "I've been meaning to tell you." "I'm so lucky to be able to serve you and protect you." "I thank the gods for it." "You went through a lot." "Forgive me for staying away for so long." "I'm glad you're well now." "Now we're on hostile terms with Songyang, the Piryu chief." "He's an ambitious man." "He may provoke us again so be on guard at all times." "Yes, my Lord." "I called you in to talk about the imminent war." "Sosuhno made me make a tough decision." "We've been on good terms with the Han, as well as other nations." "But supplying Puyo's troops will affect our ties with the Han." "Nobody knows if this will help or harm us." "But the die has been cast and we must do our best to make it work." "I was in charge of stocking up in preparation for the war... but we're still very short." "I need you two to help me." " Got it." " Don't worry, Miss." "Kumwa made Prince Jumong commander... and ordered Daeso and Youngpo to assist him." "This shows just how much Puyo's power structure has changed." "Yangjung's spies' failed attempt to kill Kumwa... has shifted the advantage from Daeso and the Queen to Kumwa and Jumong." "I think it might just work for us." "It's time I ask for permission to be Puyo's supplier." "I'll get things ready." "Prime Minister." "Yes, Your Majesty." "Report on our neighboring countries." "Haengin is close with the Han but they don't want to send reinforcements." "Guda and Gaema will watch how things go and assist the winning side later on." "Foreign Affairs Minister." "Explain the righteousness of this war... and ask for support." "I will, Your Majesty." "Tax Minister." "Yes, Your Majesty." "Report on our funds." "(Jinyong, Tax Minister) Thanks to the Jega... we have accumulated many supplies but we're still very short." "Your Majesty." "Lord Yuntabal wishes to see you." "Let him in." "Your Majesty." "Have you been well?" "What brings you here?" "I heard you'll be attacking Jinbun and Imdoon." "Please grant us your permission to participate as your supplier." "We're going to war against the Han." "Helping us will affect your ties with them for the worse." "Will that be OK?" "Don't worry." "I can handle our ties with the Han." "Lord Yuntabal." "Yes, Your Majesty." "Can I entrust you with all our food and war supplies too?" "We already have more than enough." "Your reputation precedes you, but how can we be sure... you have enough food and supplies for an entire army?" "His Majesty has only just proclaimed war too." "Prince Jumong told me long ago, while he was making plans." "We had enough time to prepare." "He took a weight off your shoulders." "Very well." "I grant you permission to be our supplier for this war." "Be prepared." "(Puyo iron chamber)" "How are the steel swords coming on?" "Your Majesty." "We haven't been making any since the Hyunto blacksmiths left." "They didn't teach us anything." "How many swords did they make?" "Less than 1 00." "Your Majesty." "Summon Mopalmo back from Keru." "He made a sword comparable to those of the Han army." "Are you sure of that?" "Yes, Your Majesty." "Since mastering the technique, he's been trying to improve the quality." "Summon him immediately." "I will, Your Majesty." "Listen up." "The lives of our soldiers depend on the swords you make." "When Mopalmo comes back, help him speed up the production." "We will, Your Majesty." "The King is here." "Aren't you tired?" "Just thinking about fighting the Han gives me energy." "Take a break every now and then." "What's your name?" "My name is Chundong." "How old are you?" "I'm 1 6." "Commander." "Yes, Your Majesty." "He's too young to fight." "Let him help with the ordnance." "Your Majesty, I want to fight at the forefront." "My father, a Damul veteran, also fought in the forefront." "I know how you feel." "I'll let you do so when you're older." "Hyupbo." "Yes, Commander." "Let's go, Chundong." "But I don't want to." "Stop that, will you?" "Your Majesty, please let me talk to him." "Damul Army veterans and migrants from all over Puyo... as well as those in hiding are coming to join us." "There are hundreds of them." "Regardless of how determined they are, exclude those without basic training." "We're short of men... but we can't be reckless." "Yes, Your Majesty." "Your Highness." "Take some rest." "I'm OK." "Mother." "Hello." "Commander, please make her stop." "She works day and night, she even has blisters on her hands." "I said I'm OK." "Don't worry." "I've never seen you so cheerful before." "Like Mooduk said, I work day and night but I feel fine." "This reminds me of the Damul Army hideout." "This is exactly how I felt back then." "I loved working for the Damul Army." "As a chief's daughter, I'd never done a day's work." "Yet I cooked for the men and made arrows till I had blisters." "Yet everything was all right once Haemosu held my hand." "He was so brave yet attentive at the same time." "He checked on every single wounded soldier." "Jumong." "Watching you reminds me of him." "That's why I feel so at ease." "Mother." "What brings you here?" "I'm here to see the Commander about the supplies." "It's hard to face you now." "You may go." "I can't send you off and worry myself sick." "I want to join... for my sake as well as yours." "I might really worry myself to death." "Miss..." "Commander, Lady Sosuhno is here." "Take a seat." "We have everything we need." "Just in case the war is prolonged... the other teams will back us up." "Nice work." "What about you?" "Do you have any problems?" "I'm worried about the Han's Iron Army." "I've trained the bodyguards... but if I want to win this war I need more cavalry." "Have you heard of the Becksan Malgal?" "The Malgal people?" "Aren't they nomads?" "Right." "They learn how to ride horses before they even learn how to walk." "All their men and women are experts in horseback riding." "Puyo is getting ready to attack Jinbun and Imdoon." "Dongsun." "Yes, Governor." "Send a message to the Capital." "Notify the Emperor and see if Yodong can send reinforcements." "I will." "I wonder why Kumwa made Jumong commander of the advance guard." "Jumong lacks experience and wisdom." "Kumwa made a reckless decision by making him commander." "And I will make him pay for that." "Find the quickest route to Jinbun." "Summon our soldiers and prepare to dispatch them." "Yes, Governor." "If this war breaks out... should we turn against Prince Daeso?" "Things won't be the same." "But everyone knows we'll win the war." "Once it's over, you and Daeso will get married." "(Yangsullan, Yangjung's daughter)" "Even if I do get married..." "I don't think I'll be at ease." "Daeso's against the war." "His feelings for you won't change." "Songyang, chief of Piryu is here to see you." "Songyang?" "What brings you here?" "I have some important news." "I heard that Puyo... is going to attack Imdoon and Jinbun." "I know that too." "(Songyang, Piryu chief) Then do you know..." "Lord Yuntabal is Puyo's supplier?" "He is?" "I heard he promised you his friendship." "But he went back on his word." "Yuntabal is a disgrace to Jolbon." "We should do something about him." "I'm here to do whatever I can to help." "And what can you do?" "I will send reinforcements if necessary." "You don't have enough men to do that." "I know where you're at." "I'll be in touch if I need anything." "What..." "What are you doing?" "What have I done wrong?" "(Mauryung, Puyo Sorceress) You wretch!" "Do you really not know?" "I don't." "Why are you threatening an innocent citizen?" "An innocent citizen?" "Would an innocent citizen confuse the people and insult the gods?" "But..." "But..." "Cutting your tongue out and praying for forgiveness... still won't be enough." "Please don't kill me." "I only did it for the money." "Please don't kill me." "Don't just stand there." "Take him away this instant." "What's all this about?" "Who is he?" "We're punishing a shaman for confusing the people." "I was about to make sure he never does it again." "Please don't kill me!" "Please don't kill me, Mauryung!" "Let him live." "Your Highness." "Let him live." "How can you let someone like him live?" "We must use him to influence the people." "Then...?" "Find more people like him and make the people oppose the war." "Make them say Puyo will perish if we go to war." "Will it stop the King?" "It won't." "But at least we can hold him responsible." "If we lose, he will have to resign." "Hurry up!" "We have no time!" "One more drop of your sweat will save the life of a Puyo soldier." "Now that you're back the blacksmiths work so much harder." "I know, I know." "(Mopalmo, Director of Puyo iron chamber) I love it here too." "(Musong) I'm so glad to be back too." "Isn't that because Mooduk's here?" "I didn't know you could read minds." "Why don't you just become a shaman?" "His Majesty is here." "Mopalmo." "Yes, Your Majesty." "This war wouldn't be possible if it weren't for you." "I'm proud of you." "Thank you." "Your favors are immeasurable." "You've been so good to me over the years." "I will serve you and Puyo for the rest of my life." "We go to war very soon." "Work hard and pour your heart into it." "We will, Your Majesty." "What did the Jega say?" "They'll send 1 0,000 men and supplies." "The Han assassins gave us a reason to attack." "Even the Jega can't oppose now." "I'm glad Yuntabal is our supplier." "I agree." "Your Majesty." "Have you heard of the Becksan Malgal?" "Aren't they nomads?" "They are." "They ride before they walk and are experts on horseback." "To beat the Iron Army, we need experienced cavalry." "I'll try to convince them to join us." "Ma'am, Chief Yangtak is here." "How have you been?" "What brings you here?" "(Yuncheryung, Yuntabal's sister)" " Is everything all right in Keru?" " Yes." "(Yangtak, Keru's temporary leader) Chansoo is fine." "Is Lord Yuntabal in?" "Songyang is up to something?" "I noticed he'd been away for some time." "I heard he went to Hyunto." " Hyunto?" " Yes." "He must be siding with Yangjung to take revenge for what you did." "He probably told Yangjung we'll be Puyo's supplier." "I've been away from Jolbon for too long." "We can't afford to fight Piryu while Lord Yuntabal is here." "You think we should let Songyang mobilize his men?" "He knows we're armed with swords as strong as the Han's... and that we make them too." "He won't attack us that easily." "Sayong is right." "Just keep an eye on Piryu until I return after this war." " I will, my Lord." " My Lord." "Miss." "Prince Jumong is here." "I need the Becksan Malgal to join us." "His Majesty gave his approval." "Nomads are hostile towards other tribes." "It won't be easy." "Still, it has to be done." "Then I'll go with you." "Aren't you going to tell me... why you left Puyo back then and why you were so confused?" "I've been telling you everything I feel." "I guess I should stop." "I met a man who changed my life." "He drew people near, like that fire and burned himself up for others." "Are you talking about Commander Haemosu?" "Yes." "Had I not met him, I would still be an immature kid." "I realized what his great dream was only after he'd passed away." "He really did change your life." "Not only was he my master... he was also my real father." "I didn't know until he'd passed away." "I never got to call him, "Father."" "Regret and guilt... set in after letting him go like that." "It was torture." "Now... it's my turn to realize his dream." "I will save the migrants... and regain our lost land." "(Becksan Malgal leader) Who are you?" "I am Prince Jumong of Puyo." "A war?" "You want us to fight in your war?" "Yes." "Why should I do that?" "If you help us win the war, I'll give you enough land... for you to settle down." "Settle down?" "I can go wherever I like." "What would I do with more land?" "We're done talking." "How did it go?" "I offered to give them land but he declined." "We're stuck." "You offered land to the nomads?" "Aren't they roaming because they don't have any?" "They roam because it's their fate, not because they don't have land." "It's their destiny to roam endlessly." "Let me try." "I don't understand what she just said." "Why roam around when they can settle?" "We've met many nomads while traveling the world." "None of them roamed because they didn't have land." "They were born to live like that." "They don't need land." "So what will Sosuhno negotiate with?" "She'll offer money for the men we need." "They'll be mercenaries." "That's the only way we can convince them." "He agreed to send 1 00 men and horses." "(Keru)" "Chunrang." "Yes?" " Bring it to me." " I will." "Puyo deserted you." "Do you still want them to win?" "(Yeomieul, Keru Sorceress) Isn't it better than the Han winning?" "Not only is this Puyo's war, it's Prince Jumong's war too." "This three-legged crow is Prince Jumong." "I want you to help me pray this bird will fly into a greater world." "Chunrang?" "Did you ask for me?" " Send this to Prince Jumong." " I will." "Governor Yangjung sent a letter." "I can imagine how terrible you feel right now." "It's clear that the Han will win." "I hope you don't do anything to compromise yourself... to the extent where I can't help you." "If you wish to become King, take wise measures." "Will you send a reply?" "No, but I'll be in touch." "You may go now." "If you wish to become King, take wise measures." "We have news from our other troops." "Imdoon sent 1 0,000 men to join forces with Jinbun's 1 0,000." "What about the Nakrang army?" "Nakrang will be in charge of ordnance." "Jinbun and Imdoon don't have enough supplies." "The Yodong army is at war with the Southwest Yi... so they won't be able to join." "The problem is..." "Yangjung sent 20,000 men to help Jinbun and Imdoon." "It all comes down to cutting off Yangjung's men... and Nakrang's supplies." "Yangjung will take the quickest route to Jinbun." "They'll have to pass Snake Tail Valley on the way." "It's a long and winding road, like a snake's tail." "Stop Yangjung's soldiers here, and we'll be able to delay them." "Commander, this is Mari." "Come in." "It's from Yeomieul." "The three-legged crow will protect you even in total darkness." "I wish you, the master of this bird, good luck in this war." "A detached force?" "Yes." "We'll depart ahead of the main army." "The main army is almost ready to leave." "Why do you need a detached force?" "Our victory depends on cutting off their supplies... and delaying the Hyunto soldiers." "If I can buy us some time... by cutting both teams off... our army can tear Jinbun and Imdoon down." "Your Majesty." "This is Snake Tail Valley." "This is the quickest route from Hyunto to Jinbun." "We will stop Yangjung's men here... while you attack Jinbun and Imdoon." "Very well." "Get your men ready." "I will, Your Majesty." "A detached force will leave ahead of the main army." "A detached force?" "We'll delay Yangjung's reinforcements and cut off Nakrang's supplies." "It's an important task so select our best men." "OK, Commander." "Oh, Oi." "Find some migrants who know this area." "OK, Commander." "This is Naro." "Come in." "Did you find anything out?" "Commander Jumong's leaving with a detached force." "A detached force?" "What for?" "He's going to cut off Nakrang's supplies and Yangjung's reinforcements." "I see." "Where are they headed?" "I don't... know that yet." "Naro." "I need you to go to Hyunto." "Your Highness." "Are you going to tell...?" "Your Highness." "I'd rather have you kill me." "I can do anything for you, but not this." "Naro." "You can't become Crown Prince without Puyo." "I'm a mere bodyguard but I too am a subject of Puyo." "Must I betray my country?" "I'd rather have you behead me." "I don't doubt your loyalty one bit." "Don't worry." "Puyo will not lose nor perish." "Your Highness." "Trust me on this." "I will always be with you." "Fulfill your mission and come back safely." "Fight to your death and we will surely win." "To victory!"
