"Dear gods of heaven and earth." "Please look down upon us." "I don't care what happens to me." "But if it will save Jolbon... if it will help build Koguryo..." "I'm willing to die." "Please take me... and look after Jolbon... and Koguryo." " Commander!" " Commander!" " Wake up!" " Don't die on us!" " Commander!" " Commander!" " Wake up!" " Wake up!" " Wake up!" " Wake up!" " Commander!" " Commander!" " Wake up!" " Wake up!" "Commander!" " Wake up!" " Wake up!" "The people of Jolbon are dying of starvation or the plague." "Jumong has been praying... to help the people pull through... but the plague is spreading." "They're surviving on what little food they have but it won't last." "Jolbon will collapse anytime soon." "Your Majesty." "The gods have chosen you, not Jumong." "Don't get carried away." "The allied forces have been effective so far... but our people are beginning to suffer too." "We must push Jolbon even more and end this as soon as possible." "Your Majesty, give me some troops." "I'll go and kill Jumong myself." "You had your chance but your arrogance got the better of you and you blew it." "I'll take over from here." "Stay out of it." "Prince Daeso has been losing out ever since the King took over." "No one pays attention to him now." "This is allJumong's fault." "We thought he was dead but he cornered Daeso." "Let's be frank." "We shouldn't have jumped to conclusions." "Jonggo." "Yes, Your Highness." "I must see Daeso." "Lead the way." "I will." "You tricked me." "I didn't trick you." "Your arrogance brought this upon yourself." "Sorceress Mauryung." "Yes?" "You told me Jumong was dead." "What's he doing, alive and well?" "Your Highness." "I never said... he was dead." "Shut up!" "Your Highness." "I believed in you and your powers." "But you let me down!" "Your Highness." "Don't kill me." "Please." "Daeso!" "What's going on?" "Put that down." "I know how you feel but you must calm down." "The King humiliated me in front of all his subjects." "What if I never get a chance to redeem myself?" "I want Mauryung to pay for what I had to endure!" "Daeso." "Don't make things worse." "Sheath your sword!" "You're excused." "Daeso." "Take your time." "You'll get another chance." "You just have to wait." "What is it?" "The King wants Prince Daeso to escort him to the border." "The King's going in person?" "Yes." "He's going to look around the camps of the allied forces." "What did I say?" "He hasn't abandoned you." "He's giving you another chance." "Get ready to go." "Where are you going?" "The King wants me to escort him around the border." "He called me instead of Daeso because he trusts me more now." "This is all thanks to you." "It's your chance to impress everyone." "(Hwangjagyung) Then even the Emperor will favor you." "I'll do my best." "Don't worry." "Let's go." "Sure." "What happened?" "Is he going too?" "I have no idea." "Dang..." "Are you going too?" "Yes." "The King requested my presence." "Let's go." "We're blocking all the roads that lead to Jolbon... including the Piryu River, Mt." "Chunma, Changmak Valley and Musoo Ridge." "We sent more men to Mt." "Chunma and Musoo Ridge." "Not even a mouse can get through." "Summon the allied forces at Mt." "Chunma and Musoo Ridge... and get ready to attack Jolbon." "Are you going to fight Jumong?" "There's no need for that." "I'll use the allied forces to disintegrate Jolbon." "Jolbon will collapse even faster if their people feel threatened." "Daeso and Youngpo, take the allied forces... and attack the villages." "We will, Your Majesty." "Prime Minister." "Yes, Your Majesty." "I need you to go to Jolbon." "Tell Jumong to surrender." "Will he give in just like that?" "That's why I need you to convince him." "If he doesn't surrender, their last days will be miserable." "I might be his enemy... but that's not what I want for him." "If he surrenders..." "I'll have an excuse to let him live." "That's the only way Jumong and Jolbon will survive." "Convince Jumong and help him save his own people." "I will." "They've been praying for several days." "Our enemy's mother is praying at our Shrine." "No wonder Puyo's stuck." "Jolbon will collapse in no time." "Lady Yuhwa and Yesoya will die as soon as Jumong does." "Don't mind them." "How is he?" "He's too exhausted." "It'll take a long time to recover." "Commander." "Your prayers reached the heavens and helped stop the rain." "Please get well soon." "Jeez." "Now even the Commander's ill." "What'll happen to us next?" "Goodness." "Hang on..." "What if we really are doomed?" "What?" "Don't you dare say that." " What?" " Shut up." "Don't say that!" "What?" "You jerk, what did you just say?" "Why you..." "You have a death wish?" "Sure, let's see who the unlucky one is!" "Stop it!" "What's wrong with you two?" "!" "Don't you know you have to care for each other even more?" "!" "Do you really don't get why the Commander fasted... and prayed for days in such terrible weather?" "All we have right now is each other." "Jolbon doesn't stand a chance if we start fighting." "Calm down, everyone." "(Jolbon border)" "There are less than 1 00 men." "Kill them all and tear down the village." "Let's go!" "Yes, sir!" "Bubunno, you wretch!" "Commander!" "Lady Sosuhno..." "Is she back?" "The rain has stopped but the plague is getting worse." "The migrants who settled in Piryu and Kwanna are leaving." "What about the chiefs?" "Their retaliation is the least of our worries." "The blockade will ruin us before that." "We'll do all we can to help the people." " You should rest." " He's right." "You're too weak to move around." "Don't worry." "Commander." "You look terrible." "Don't you need more rest?" "Yes." "We can't afford to lose you now." "Please take care of yourself." "Commander." "What happened?" "The Puyo-Han allied forces massacred the border guards." "They did what?" "Why those..." "(Village on Jolbon border)" "Princes Daeso and Youngpo led the allied forces in the attack." "They're trying to discourage us and scatter the people... by attacking the border villages." "Secure the borders." "Yes, Commander!" "You're doing this to me... to teach me, not forsake me." "I won't give in, whatever you throw at me." "Please look after Jolbon." "We just can't think of a way to escape the blockade." "What should we do?" "The allied forces are wiping out villages near the Piryu border." "They're doing the same near the Yunna border." "The people are trembling in fear." "Some people even want to surrender." "CommanderJumong is praying for help and guidance... but we'll never make it if the blockade and attacks continue." "Sir!" " Sir." " What is it?" "Puyo's Prime Minister is here." "What brings you here?" "I have a message for the Commander." "Commander." "Puyo's Prime Minister is here." "Have a seat." "Why are you here?" "The King does not want to kill any more innocent people." "Surrender to Puyo and save your people." "I know what a terrible state you're in." "A plague is spreading and you can't feed or pay your soldiers." "Doing nothing but pray is a foolish thing to do." "Stand against Puyo any longer and your last days will be miserable." "If you really care forJolbon... you must accept the King's offer." "Surrendering to Puyo now... means surrendering to the Han." "The King will let you govern Jolbon as you see fit." "Stop being stubborn and do something to save you all." "I'd rather die with dignity... than live with shame and regret." "A good leader listens to his people." "Can't you hear the people crying out for help?" "Will you let your blindness lead them to their death?" "If the path I take does so, then I will." " Commander!" " Like you said..." "I'm blind and deaf." "What the King did to my innocent people... has blinded and deafened me." "But..." "The voice of the people should be heard with your heart." "I can hear the people plead with their dying breath." "They want a new nation." "Go and tell the King." "I won't surrender to someone who sides with the Han." "What happened?" "King Kumwa suggested we surrender but the Commander refused." "Commander." "You must accept the offer." "They suggested it because they want to avoid a war." "They know we're still strong enough to put up a fight." "Stop being stubborn." "You must negotiate with them to guarantee Jolbon's safety." "If you don't surrender now, we'll all die." "If we step down now... the new and stronger Jolbon will fall and our people will have died in vain." "Don't let them scare you." "If we're willing to die trying, then we'll find a way out." "Please trust me and follow my lead." "The Prime Minister is back." "Let him in." "Good job." "Did you meetJumong?" "Did you talk to him?" "He refused to surrender." "How dare he turn down an offer the King made for his sake?" "He's determined to go to war against the allied forces." "Prime Minister." "Yes, Your Majesty." "Tell Daeso and Youngpo... to attack the Jolbon border." "I will, Your Majesty." "Don't kill me!" "Don't kill me!" "Whoa..." "You're head of Kwanna's border patrol." "Have you been attacked as well?" "Yes." "A village near our border has been wiped out." "Even after tightening security and hiring more men?" "The allied forces had three times more men." "The jerks..." "Even Kwanna and Yunna are under attack?" "Piryu and Keru might be next." "The villages are in ruins." "They're burning everything and clogging the wells too." "I want to get back at them... but it's impossible as they're attacking from various locations." "The people have lost all hope." "We can't even tell them to trust you." "The people are very disturbed." "You must do something fast if you don't wantJolbon to collapse." "I wanted to take on the meaning of the Damul Bow." "I wanted to establish the strongest and most prosperous nation on earth." "One that's governed by the people." "I finally managed to unite Jolbon without a war." "But is this it?" "Is this the gods' will?" "Am I really the master of the Damul Bow?" "Commander." "If you fall... the new Jolbon will fall with you." "You must be strong." "The allied forces are killing innocent people." "We're too outnumbered to do anything." "I prayed to the gods... but my prayers weren't enough." "My people are being massacred but there's nothing I can do." "I don't know where to go from here... or whether the path I've chosen really will save my people." "I just don't know." ""Great Emperor of Josun to Benefit Humanity"" "Commander." "Come in." "What is it?" "We'll infiltrate into the enemy camp and kill Prince Daeso." "We won't come back if we fail." "Please send us." "I can't send you to your death." "We were hopeless hoodlums until you gave us a reason to live." "We followed you and served you because we believed in you." "We'd do anything for you." "We'd die if you wanted us to." "Our faith in you is still strong." "We're willing to die for you and Jolbon." "Jolbon's suffering because of the blockade and the attacks." "But we know what you went through to get this far." "We can't ask you to surrender." "Someone needs to make a sacrifice." "If this is the end of Jolbon, then I have nothing to live for." "I'd rather die for you and Jolbon." "I want to kill Prince Daeso." "Let us go." "Let us go, Commander!" "Your loyalty has touched my heart... but I can't let you guys die." "Commander." "You've made me realize how weak I've become." "The gods won't forsake me, not when I have comrades like you." "You're the cornerstones of Koguryo and dear brothers I trust with my life." "I'll never make it without you." "Captain..." "If we're willing to die... we'll find a way to overcome the blockade." "I'll go to the border myself." "Get ready." "Yes, sir!" "Whoa, whoa..." "Get them!" "Get them!" "Commander." "It's the enemy." "Commander!" "We're near the border!" "You'll die if the allied forces see you!" "He's right." "Let them be." "They're chasing our innocent people." "They'll die if we let them be." "Follow me!" "Get them!" "Get them!" "Sa..." "Sayong!" "Commander." "What happened?" "Is Lady Sosuhno OK?" "She's fine." "The allied forces have strengthened the blockade." "She's at Mt." "Ogeum, trying to find a way through." "She sent me to sneak past the border and tell you." "Now that she's back, we can break the blockade." "We must attack the allied forces and bring them all back." " Officers Jaesa and Mari." " Yes, sir." "Tell Yuntabal the news and summon our men to Mt." "Ogeum." "Yes, sir." "Don't let anyone escape!" "Not even one!" "Hurray for the Damul Army!" "Hurray!" "We're late because we had to find medicine as well as food." "We have all the food and herbs we need." "Well done." " Hurray forJolbon!" " Hurray forJolbon!" " Hurray!" " Hurray!" "Hurray forJolbon!" "(Buwiyum)" "(Piryu)" "Hey!" " Thank you." " Slowly, slowly." "Just a bit more." " Thank you." " Is this rice?" " Yes, it is." "Now go." " A bit more, please." " Stand in line!" "Don't push, I'm tired too." " My daughter's sick." " Here you go." "Thank you." " Thank you." " Get well soon." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Thank you." " Here." " Thank you, sir." "You're welcome." "Be healthy and strong." " Thank you." " Go home now." "We're oppressing them from all sides of the border." "They won't be able to hold it much longer." "Soldiers from Kwanna and Yunna are surrendering." "This means Jolbon is falling apart." "Why don't we take all our men to attack Keru and end all this?" "Keru is the center of Jolbon." "If they fall, the other tribes will surrender." "Yangjung is right." "Jumong refused to surrender so we have to go to war." "They are no match for us now." "Let's not waste time and take them over now." "Your Majesty." "What is it?" "Jolbon has food and medicine and the people are calming down." "Food and medicine?" "How did that happen when we're surrounding them?" "I think it has something to do with Jumong's disappearance back then." "Find out who traded with them despite the embargo." "I will." "Your Majesty." "Still no news from Daeso?" "Not yet." "Your Majesty." "The drought and the famine will get better in time... but an even greater disaster awaits." "An even greater disaster?" "I'm sure you saw the eclipse." "That eclipse means a new sun has appeared." "After Ancient Josun perished, the migrants scattered... and its territory was divided into many smaller nations." "But a man born with the energy of the new sun will build a new nation." "His descendants will regain Ancient Josun's land... and rule the world." "You mean Puyo will perish?" "Puyo will continue to weaken... until it perishes." "Did you check?" "Jumong got Eupru's pirates to sail south and bring back food and medicine." "He now has control of Mt." "Ogeum." "He has a secure trade route that goes straight to Eupru." "Now they don't have to worry about food." "What were you doing while Jumong was planning all this?" "The blockade is powerless if Jumong brings food from the south." "We're facing bankruptcy because we spent too much on fighting Jolbon." "If we fail to take over Jolbon, the chaos in Puyo will only get worse." "Jumong has found a way out but he can't be in the clear yet." "We must attack now, before Jolbon is fully stabilized." "We can't afford to do that." "Our plan was to starve them until they gave in... so we didn't secure enough provisions." "Then what will you do?" "If that is all you can say... then the Han army will have to return to Hyunto." "I shouldn't have let Kumwa take charge." "Don't aggravate the King." "You have nothing to gain if the alliance falls apart now." "We're in the same boat." "The embargo has failed." "What should I tell the Emperor?" "I've already informed him." "And with what right did you do that?" "!" "In case you forgot, the Emperor sent me to supervise you." "Thanks to the mess you made..." "Jumong broke the blockade and is now a much bigger threat." "Withdraw your men from Puyo's border... and return to Hyunto." "I'd heard you were a clever man." "Either Jumong knows you too well, or it was a false rumor." "One more, please." "Thank you." "Thank you." " One more, please." " Thanks a lot." "Thank you, thank you." "One more, please." "Chief." "What is it?" "Commander Jumong and Lady Sosuhno are here." "Forgive me for doubting you." "You have saved the Piryu people." "I swear to serve you with all my heart." "The past few months were the most painful of my life." "But the gods haven't forsaken us." "They wanted us to pull through together and become even closer than before." "The new, united Jolbon will never falter again." "I've learned a great lesson." "The road to a new nation cannot be paved by one man." "We were able to get through this because you trusted and helped me." "I'll take this to heart... and spur on to build a great nation."
