"Welcome." "How's the training?" "We're training them intensely in every single battle formation." "We're training the Iron Army so they can stand at the forefront." "The Han soldiers will be scared out of their wits." "Their weapons don't stand a chance." "We've practically won this war." "Defense Officer." "Yes, Commander?" "Do you think we won last time because our weapons were superior?" "Huh?" "Our strongest weapon was neither the armor nor the sword." "It was our will to fight the Han until death." "The armor and weapons are only tools." "Forgive me." " Jaesa, Mari." " Yes, sir." "Train the men mentally as well." "Yes, sir." "Come on, think!" "Why that..." " Hurry up!" " Coming!" "Our spies say Yangjung has 1 0,000 men, just half of what he used to have." "It's because we beat them last time." "Yangjung has lost the Emperor's trust and he can't get any reinforcements." "This war is essentially different from our past wars." "We were always under attack and we had to be on the defense." "But this time, we move first." "We'll be fighting on their territory and they'll know the area better." "With good use of location, ten soldiers can block 1 00." "You're right." "I'd like to add something." "We got into trouble when we fought Imdoon and Jinbun... because Songyang stole our supplies just before the war began." "It mustn't happen again." "The outcome depends on how we block the Yodong army." "Once they join in, the battle will take longer to end... and that will work against us." "The Yodong army won't come." "What do you mean?" "I tipped off the Malgal and the Hun." "Yodong will fall the minute the army leaves." "They can't come." "Great idea." "Attack!" "Attack!" "Stop!" "You fools!" "Do you still think you're pirates?" "!" "I wouldn't dare say we're part of the Damul Army!" "They need systematic training." "They'll get better." "Don't be too hard on them." "Eupru and Okjuh soldiers used to tremble at our name." "I never knew they were so pathetic." "Bubunno." "Yes?" "Train them from scratch." "Yes, Commander." "All the chiefs are waiting." "Very well." " Go to Hyunto and spy on them." " Yes, sir." "I was worried about the Yodong army." "If they can't fight, then we will surely win." "We have come far, thanks to your help." "But we need your full support during the upcoming war." "We've entrusted you with our fate." "We'll do all we can to help you win the war." "We lost many men to the plague and Puyo's attack." "We have about 3,000 soldiers." "That's 5,000 including the Damul Army." "Shouldn't we wait until we have more?" "No need to worry." "We hired some mercenaries from nearby tribes and countries." "There are about 2,000 of them." "That will be a great help." "But one thing is bothering me." "The food we brought from the south can't be used as provisions alone." "If something happens and the war stretches out... the people will starve until the harvest." "You're right." "We're fighting for the people." "We can't let them starve." "I've already thought of something." "Don't worry." "It's dried meat." "I dried some preserved deer meat." "It doesn't spoil easily so it'll be a good food substitute." "Good." "Now the men can eat even when they're marching." "Kwanna and Hwanna will supply the dried meat." "Piryu can transport the iron ore and weapons." "And Yunna can help Mopalmo speed things up a bit." "Yes, sir." "Come on, we go to war soon!" "Your sweat will save our men's lives!" " Hurry!" " Yes, sir." " Hurry!" "Hurry...!" " Mopalmo!" "We upgraded the sotan and smoke bomb." "Come and take a look." "You did what?" "Oh, come on." "It's even stronger than the ones we used last time." "Now, watch carefully." "You fool..." "What's wrong?" "Hyupbo!" " Is he OK?" " Hyupbo!" " It hurts!" " Hyupbo!" " It hurts!" " Hyupbo!" "Sayong!" "Sayong." "What is it?" "Hyupbo got hurt while testing the new sotan." "What?" "You should've been more careful!" "What happened?" "He got burned while testing the sotan." "Are you OK?" "Sayong." "My face is fine." "Don't worry." "Don't worry?" "!" "How can I not be worried?" "!" "Look what happened to your handsome face." "It breaks my heart." "Your Majesty." "Go away." "You must be strong." "Do I look like a fool?" "Your Majesty." "I lost the one woman I loved." "And I gave up my dream of gathering the migrants to fight the Han." "I lost all I had." "What's left for me to do?" "Was that really all you had?" "I thought Puyo meant everything to you." "If you let go like this... you will really will lose everything." "Who can the people look up to if you drink your life away?" "Please..." "Please, don't let them down." "What is it?" "Our spy in Jolbon sent this." "Your Highness." "What is it?" "I just got news from our spy in Jolbon." "Jolbon is preparing to attack Hyunto." "What?" "Summon the ministers." "Hurry!" "I will." "Jolbon will go to war against Hyunto?" "Yes." "Prince Daeso summoned the ministers to the court." "Go to Hyunto and tell my father." "I will." "General Heukchi." "Did you go through the reports?" "Yes." "There's no doubt Jolbon is preparing for a war." "They're bringing in more iron ore and are training their men all day." "What if this is a front and they decide to attack us instead?" "That's a possibility." "They have more than enough food." "They should have the confidence too." "Lady Yuhwa is dead and Jumong's not sure what happened to his wife and son." "He'll want to take it out on us." "Shouldn't we do something?" "Jumong may be angry but I don't think he'll attack us." "Why do you think so?" "He offered us food and medicine because he doesn't want to fight." "He might want to subjugate us but I don't think he'll force it." "As of now, the Han are his enemy, not us." "Your Majesty." "Prince Daeso and the Prime Minister are here." "What did you say?" "Prince Daeso and the Prime Minister are here." "Let them in." "I will." "Your Majesty." "Jolbon is getting ready to attack Hyunto." "Jolbon... against Hyunto?" "Yes, Your Majesty." "We need you to tell us what to do." "It's Jolbon and Hyunto's war." "Why should we care?" "We formed an alliance with the Han." "That's why the Han helped us block Jolbon's borders." "Alliance..." "Wouldn't it be great if the Han and Jolbon formed an alliance?" "He's getting worse each day." "This can't be good." "He hasn't left the Shrine in days." "I hope he doesn't fall ill." "Please take good care of him." "I will, Your Highness." "I don't think we can expect him to make a rational decision." "It's all up to you now." "I want to help Yangjung... but you know we're nearly bankrupt since the Jolbon blockade failed." "Your Highness." "Whatever happens, we must help him." "If Jumong seizes Hyunto, we'll be next." "Jumong might not use brute force, but he'll still try to subjugate us." "We must help Yangjung for our own safety." "We need Hyunto to balance it out and stuntJolbon's growth." "(Hyunto Commandery)" "Governor, Hauchun is here." "Hauchun?" "What is it?" "Is it about Yangsullan?" "Jolbon is preparing to attack you!" "What?" "!" "How many men do we have?" "The Iron Army has less than 1 00 men." "We barely have 1 0,000 soldiers." "The Emperor promised he'd help but we haven't heard from him yet." "It's all because of Mr. Hwang's negative reports." "This is bad news." "They have just as many men as we do." "They even have enough supplies." "It'll be a tough fight." "Why don't we ask Puyo for help?" "They're totally broke!" "What help can they be?" "Wangsomoon." "Yes?" "Notify the Emperor and the Yodong army and tell them we need their help." "Yes, Governor." "Your Highness!" "Your Highness!" "What's the fuss about now?" "I think there's going to be a war." "A war?" "Jolbon and Hyunto might go to war." "What?" "How come Jumong attacks wherever I go?" "How'd he know I'm here?" "He's just too brilliant." "Jeez..." "Have a seat." "Mr. Hwang." "Have you heard?" "Yes." "Jumong is out of his mind." "Attacking Hyunto means an all-out war against the Han." "He can't handle that." "I think he wants to drive the Hyunto army out." "Drive the Hyunto army out?" "So, what will you do?" "Yangjung asked the Emperor for help." "Let's see what happens." "(Downtown Hyunto)" "I think Yangjung knows we're preparing for a war." "I'm not surprised." "There are spies everywhere." "Let's go." "Let go!" " What are you doing?" "!" " Let go!" "You're staying here!" " Let's go." " Come on!" "Don't you get it?" "This is your home now." "Take her!" "Yes, sir." "Let's go." "If the Yodong army can't come, Yangjung will ask Puyo for help." "Puyo's people are starving." "Will they send reinforcements?" "If Hyunto falls, Puyo will lose its greatest ally." "They'll do whatever they can to help Yangjung fight." "You're right." "But their reinforcements won't be a threat to us." "Commander, this is Oi." "Come in." "Well done." "How are things in Hyunto?" "They already know we're preparing for a war." "Soldiers have been summoned and inspections have increased." "Yangjung asked the Emperor and Yodong for help." "Did you find out how many migrants there are?" "Yes." "Hundreds are forced to work at labor houses." "We could make them heroes." "You want to use them to derange the Han?" "Yes." "Hyunto will fall apart if they're attacked from the inside out." "Mugol and I will disguise as migrants and start a revolt before you attack." "Their safety is our priority." "Don't act in haste." "Yes, sir." "We want to fight!" "We want to fight!" "I can still fight." "I can take on the Han any day!" " I want to fight!" " We want to fight!" "Please, sir, calm down!" "Who will farm the land if everyone goes to war?" "Please, calm down, please!" "We want to fight!" "We want to fight!" "Come on, kids." "You're too young to fight." "Go away." "We'll carry supplies." "Let us help." "Oh, come on." "Scram." " We want to fight..." " Gosh, calm down, will you?" "We want to fight!" "We want to fight!" "It's the Commander!" "It's Commander Jumong!" "We want to fight!" "We want to fight!" "They came from all over Jolbon just because they want to fight." "We want to fight!" "We want to fight!" "I know where you're coming from." "As you know, we're going to drive the Han army out... and make them pay for torturing the Josun migrants." "I won't stop you from participating in the war." "But joining the troops is not the only thing you can do." "Supporting our men is just as important as fighting." "We need all the support we can get!" "Mopalmo and Musong will give you something to do." "Help and support us until we're free of the Han!" "Hurray for Commander Jumong!" "Hurray!" "Sir, they're done." "Ready!" "OK, look here." "Sharpen the sticks like this, then attach the arrowheads." "OK?" "Yes." "Faster, faster!" "Why don't we ambush them before they reach us?" "Our spies will tell us when the Jolbon army sets off." "Plan an ambush then." "I will." "How are things in Jolbon?" "Even the people are participating." "They're sending the people to war too?" "No, they're supporting troops." "How many migrants are there in the labor houses?" "I'm not sure but we have at least 500." "It's time we put them to use." "If we use them as shields, even Jumong won't be able to attack." "That's a brilliant plan." "Any news from the Emperor?" "What news are you waiting for?" "You know what I need." "Jolbon will attack us soon." "What can we do without reinforcements?" "!" "You don't think you can win?" "Jumong defended his hideout many times even when he was terribly outnumbered." "You have more men than he does." "Why do you need reinforcements?" "Why don't we return to Puyo and escape the war?" "The King's health is deteriorating." "I don't want to lose the chance." "I should do something before Daeso beats me to it." "I don't think it's a good time to start a revolt." "Mr. Hwang is not a governor yet, so he doesn't have an army." "And you don't have an excuse either." "Mr. Hwang will replace Yangjung soon." "Why don't you wait a little bit?" "It's only a matter of time before Daeso takes the throne." "If that happens, all will be lost." "Let me think." "Stop thinking and come up with something!" "When you were in need, my father did all he could for you." "Will you just sit and watch?" "Send him some reinforcements." "As you know, we're nearly bankrupt." "The ministers and the people will be furious if I do that." "You mean you won't help?" "Bear with me." "I'll think of a way." "We don't have much time." "Will you really help Yangjung?" "Puyo and the Han are allies and Yangjung did help you out... but you must think of the situation we're in." "He's right." "Now is not the time." "I know, but it's not about helping my father-in-law." "Then what is it?" "If Hyunto falls, we lose our closest ally." "Jolbon will grow in no time." "We must help Yangjung if only to hold Jumong in check." "I wonder if Yangjung can withstand Jumong's attack." "He has 1 0,000 soldiers." "It shouldn't be that hard." "What matters is whether he manages to wipe Jolbon out or not." "He'll need to annihilate them to make up for his mistakes." "Won't that stop you from replacing him?" "Do you like the tea?" "Huh?" "Yes, it's good." "It's a present from the Emperor." "I didn't know that." "My uncle, the new Prime Minister... sent some to me as a present." "Your uncle is the new Prime Minister?" "Yes." "Congratulations." "The Emperor is ill and my uncle is his representative." "He wants me to move back and help him... but I asked him to make me Hyunto's governor." "Even if Yangjung wins the war, I will take his place." "The tea tastes great." " Mother." " Why are you out here?" "Your Highness." " Did you check?" " Yes." "Mr. Hwang met them near the border and decided to take them in." "He still thinks they're migrants." "The servants say Mr. Hwang seems to fancy Yesoya." "What will you do?" "It's a god-given chance." "I'll use them to my advantage." "Who... are you?" "Shut up and stay still." "Wake the kid up." "Yuri." "Yuri." "Yuri!" "Shut up!" "Follow me." "Long time no see." "Hello there, Yuri." "(laborer camp, Hyunto)" "Hey." "Wake up." " What is it?" " Shh." "Be quiet." "Listen to me carefully." "I'm in the Damul Army and I serve CommanderJumong." " What?" "The Damul Army?" " Be quiet." "Commander Jumong sent us out here." "Jolbon and the Damul Army will attack Hyunto soon." "If that happens, the Han army will kill you all." "We're here to start a revolt to save you all... and put an end to it by deranging the Han from the inside out." "Make sure the Han don't find out." " Sir." " What is it?" "Geum and Yuri ran away." "You pathetic fools." "Go and find her immediately!" "I will." "Hurry up!" "Get moving!" "We don't have all day!" "Let's go!" "Halt!" "What's going on?" "They're not going to work today." "Why not?" "We'll go to war againstJolbon soon." "When we do, they'll stand at the front and shield the Han army." "The jerks." "Kill whoever dares to run away." "Understood?" "Yes, sir!" "What now?" "What did you just say?" "I want to meet Jumong." "Are you out of your mind?" "You have to go into enemy territory." "Don't worry." "He won't be able to touch me." "Your Highness." "You're so pathetic." "A man needs to know when to take risks." "If I can make this deal with Jumong..." "Puyo will be mine." "Commander, this is Mari." "Come in." "What is it?" "Prince Youngpo is here." "What brings you here?" "I'm here to make a deal." "Pay your respects!" "He's the leader of Jolbon!" "Stand back." "Are you here on Puyo's behalf?" "Well, no..." "It's a personal matter." "Come inside." "What do you have?" "I have Yesoya and Yuri." "Lady Yesoya and Yuri are alive?" "That's right." "How can we trust you?" "We're on enemy ground." "Would we come here without a valid reason?" "What do you want from us?" "I will let Yesoya and Yuri live if..." "One, you don't attack Hyunto." "Two, you're strong enough to take over Puyo." "Attack Puyo, then make me King." "Promise me you'll do that and you'll get to see Yesoya and Yuri."
