"Episode 21" "Because of my darkened judgment and heart of insurgency," "I, Yon Ga Ryuh, should have paid for my crimes a long time ago." "I bow before His Majesty and speak these words." "Heaven is now revealing little by little that you are the true king of Joo Shin." "But I cannot accept this." "These are reports on the budget needed to upkeep the newly conquered fortresses in Baekje." "Most important of these are the reports on the shipyard." "These are reports on the methods of shipyard management." "And these are reports on the relief supplies sent to the fortresses." "If Heaven determines everything, what is the use of all of our manipulations and efforts?" "And if Heaven had already chosen its Joo Shin king, by what conditions was the choice made?" "I will abuse the trust and authority you gave me." "And take the sacred symbols of the Joo Shin king." "I will send them to my son." "My son, Ho Gae, who Heaven turned its back on..." "Even though he may be able to use their power," "I still want to tell him this," ""Now that His Majesty cannot depend on Heaven's power and strength..."" ""Use your own efforts and become the king!"" "Allow the people of this land to choose their king themselves." "You told me once before..." "That Joo Shin was the paradise of the Baedal people." "I have betrayed your trust." "I have no right to see that paradise." "Your Majesty, king of my country Goguryeo..." "Now that I think of it, I never waited for the Joo Shin king." "It seems that I wanted to make the Joo Shin king myself." "Yes..." "That's what I wanted." "I won't go to the king." "I won't go to him." "I can't." "I'm just going to go on my way." "Let me finish what I have to do." "I don't know who wants me back, but I have something I have to do." "His Majesty's Encampment" "If they have something to say, tell them to come here!" "How can the King of Goguryeo go to an enemy location with only seven men, Your Majesty?" "Do not allow the men on the border of Later Yan to move." "We cannot trust them yet." "The shipyard at Gwanmi Fortress is a problem." "I hope Lord Yon will take care of this for me." "He will know how to manage it." "Your Majesty, let me go in your place." "I will take seven men." "Please allow me to do so." " General." " Yes, Your Majesty!" "If I don't establish relations with them, I have to return to Gooknae Castle." "And when that happens, our five thousand men will be hunted as prey." "Your Majesty, a message has arrived." "We have agreed to set up a tent." "They will send twelve representatives." "This is the minimum number from the four tribes." "And inside the tent, there will be no soldiers allowed entry." "Prepare seven troops so that they can defend from any direction." "Do not worry about that, Your Majesty." "Your Majesty, it is time." " Are you the one coming with me?" " Yes, Your Majesty." "If it gets dangerous, stick to me." "Don't be afraid." "Just stay with me and keep your wits together." " Yes, sir." " Your Majesty!" "If you're going to take someone, you should bring someone who knows how to fight!" "What will you do with this boy?" "If I make a mistake, he will record it so it is not repeated." "Once is a mistake, but twice is a sin..." "Once is a mistake, but twice is a sin..." "So in that case... all you have to do is drink a little bit." "The rest is mine!" "That's what they say." "The meeting began at Awoosae Plains." "It all happened as His Majesty planned from the moment he stepped on Khitan land." "That plan was also being executed from the northern part of the meeting place." "It is a south wind." "They must arrive before the wind changes direction." "I am Attila, the Khan of Khitan, elected last spring by eight tribal chiefs." "I will not waste time on greetings." "What are you doing on our land?" "Half of my tribe is dead!" "And all of our villages have been burnt!" "The Katakitai tribe will take revenge until the last of us draws breath!" "I have heard that the new king of Goguryeo is more proficient at trickery than warfare." "So I will ask you." "What kind of trickery is this?" "!" "When can we stop the threats and get down to the real business?" "Khan, this new King of Goguryeo took the trouble to send the Khitan dead to Heaven." "So..." "In that case, I will give him a chance." "What do the chiefs think?" "Does your letter speak the truth?" "That man, Yon Ho Gae, who made the land of Khitan into hell is an insurgent of Goguryeo?" "His crime is disobeying me." "My intent was always to be allies with Khitan." "Because of his actions, there is misunderstanding between us." "He will pay for his crimes." "Lord Ho Gae's Encampment" "What is this?" "Do you think we will forget about our slaughtered people because of a few bribes?" "What will you do if I asked you to forget about them?" "If the eight tribes of Khitan joined forces to fight against Goguryeo, do you think you will win?" "The forces you saw in the past two months were the insurgent forces of Goguryeo." "Do you want to see what happens if I deploy all of our troops here?" "Do you want to make Khitan into a dead man's land?" "So what is it you want to say, King of Goguryeo?" "Who will first become our younger brother out of the four tribes here?" "An ally of Goguryeo will never fear another tribe again." "What did you just say?" "Who will be our younger brother?" "What!" "?" "Younger brother?" "!" " Stop it!" " Stop fighting!" "King of Goguryeo!" "Even if you don't want to listen, you must." "We will never become Goguryeo's allies!" "In any of Khitan's matters, the eight tribes have never agreed on anything." "You have fought, killed and stolen from each other." "And not only that, you are surrounded by wealthy nations while your people die of starvation." "How long will you live that way?" "Attila!" "When will you stop listening to him?" "I will take revenge in the name of my people!" "Do you want to continue hearing what will happen if Goguryeo becomes your elder brother?" "Or will you kill me and face Goguryeo when Yon Ho Gae becomes king?" "As Khan, I will continue our meeting with the King of Goguryeo." "Dal Gu!" "Yes, Your Majesty." "In the lands of our younger brothers, we will set up markets at the heart of each tribal city." "Men and women of every race and nationality will be able to trade in peace and freedom." "And the livestock you breed will be able to be traded for cloth, grains and metal." "Are you telling me that the King of Goguryeo came here himself just to sell a few things?" "Just to sell?" "I am saying that we will pave a road from Gooknae Castle all the way to the end of your territory." "I am telling you that that road will pass by the center of your land!" "Do you not understand what that means, Attila, Khan of Khitan?" "You can tell us your real intentions now." "You're asking us for help because you don't think you can catch Yon Ho Gae yourself!" "So why are you speaking such nonsense?" "!" "I do not need your help to summon my own soldiers." "Those 40,000 men will return to me in a few days, anyway." "My men are waiting where we agreed upon." "This is how Goguryeo keeps its promise." "Is this how Khitan makes yours?" "I need proof." "I am listening." "Give me the head of Yon Ho Gae." "Only after I have seen his head and have touched his blood, will I light a bonfire for our new brother and continue this conversation." "Lord Ho Gae's Encampment" "Fighting is not only done with swords." "What is that?" "What is that thing?" "Something's falling!" "What are your guards doing?" "!" "Where is this from?" "We'll go and catch the culprits!" "Go do something about it!" "Of course our dear king Dam Duk intends to use unscrupulous methods rather than direct battle." " Give it here!" " Hand it over!" "The king has begun using his low tricks again." " Il Su." " Yes, sir." " The king's location?" " He is a three days' journey south." "It is reported that he has 5,000 men with him." "Will we move the soldiers?" "Or shall we strike first?" "He expects us to take action first." "I have no desire to crawl into an obvious trap." "But..." "In order for the strategy to work, we must ensure that the troops are not swayed." " Generals." " Yes!" " Make sure the soldiers are not swayed." " Yes, sir!" "Are you uneasy?" "If I may be honest, yes I am." "He is still our king, and it is his army." "Are you really suggesting we fight them?" "Don't you get it?" "That king of ours does not want me to submit to him." "The thing he wants the most is for someone like you to kill me and take my head to him." "Is that what you want to do?" "When you were eleven years old, you were in the battle against Later Yan." "That's right." "I watched you then." "Even at that young age, you ran faster up front for battle and shot arrows further than anyone." "You were smiling the whole time." "You were said to be born under the Joo Shin star and you were different from the rest of us." "I imagined how you would be as king." "That thought was in itself an act of treason." "I may have to walk into hell from this moment on." "Will you still follow me?" "I will be behind you." "It says that we have three days to decide." "Anyone who goes back to the king will be part of the Imperial Army!" " What if we don't?" " Then we're insurgents!" " Then we can't go home?" " Shut up!" "But what happens if our commander becomes king?" "Then do we get to go home?" "But do you remember what those mercenaries said?" "His Majesty has three of the sacred symbols!" "He conquered Gwanmi Fortress and commands the Blue Dragon himself!" "That means we can't go home!" "You idiot!" "His Majesty's Encampment" "Stop working for awhile!" "You don't eat or sleep!" "When will you stop being like this?" "I'm so upset!" "The two of you must have suffered." "Please forgive us for worrying you." "I heard about your brother." "Are you alright?" "The symbol of the White Tiger..." "I should have told you from the start." "I should have told you first so that you could have gotten it first." "But I really didn't know." "I really didn't know where my brother was." "I thought I would meet him if I followed you around." "You need to rest." "That Ho Gae took it." "I gave it to him myself." "My brother..." "whom I haven't seen in 17 years had kept it at the risk of his life, but I gave it with my own hands." " Look, Bason..." " I want to cut these hands off, but..." "I came here to cut them off, but..." "There were so many blunt swords and axes here..." "Listen to me carefully." "These hands are not yours alone." "I won't forgive you if you harm them." "And make sure the owner of these hands eats and sleeps well." "Do you understand?" "Yes..." "How were the shoes of Ho Gae's men?" "Their shoes?" "They have been away for half a year." "I want to know how they are doing." "Well, the men who were guarding us had cloth around their shoes." "I think their shoes must be falling off." "Oh, and there were many with skin problems." "Meat and good food were going to the officers only." "And most importantly, they had insufficient water." "I think we can begin right away, Your Majesty." " Deploy the troops." " Now, Your Majesty?" "We will move before sunrise, and reduce the distance between us and Ho Gae to one day." "Lord Ho Gae's Encampment" "What's that sound?" " Hey!" "Why are you crying?" " I miss my mother." "Fool...!" "What's the matter with you?" "What's this?" "Stop crying!" "Deserters!" "Catch them!" "Heed my words!" "Deserters will be executed immediately!" "Commander!" "The deserters are increasing." "We cannot stop them!" "You must increase the patrols!" "We must stop them before there are more deserters!" "Do we kill all of them?" "Do we kill all that try to desert?" " Commander!" "Give us your order!" " You must decide." "Any delay will make it worse!" "Please don't kill me!" " Are you alright?" " Please help me!" "You fools!" "I will behead you and display it for all to see!" "How dare you soldiers of Goguryeo desert the army?" "It is impermissible and impossible!" "Were you going to the king's army?" "Tell me why you wanted to abandon me and go to the king." "If the reason is valid, I will let you live." "I..." "Speak." "I just want to go home." "My mother is old and alone." "And she is sick." "My brothers have all died in battle and I'm the only one left...!" "How many men haven't lost any family in a battle?" "The enemy is right in front of you, but you want to go home?" "My men are risking their lives in battle, but you turned your back to go home by yourself." "Please forgive me!" "Please forgive me this once!" "If you had said that you were going to the king for the honor of Goguryeo, I would not have killed you." "Your answer was wrong." "All deserters will pay for their betrayal." "The price of their betrayal will be their lives." "Tell Commander Ho Gae this." "His Majesty has arrived." "He will come and bow before him." "His Majesty's Encampment" "Your Majesty, Attila the Khan of Khitan is here." "Has he brought his soldiers?" "About two thousand men." "You did not send me notice that you were coming." "Since we are to be brothers, we thought we could be of help." "I don't know if I need any help in moving my men..." "I know that you are trying to protect the men deserting from Ho Gae's army." "We only want one thing." "The head of Yon Ho Gae." "You can do whatever you want." "But we will punish our enemy ourselves..." "You have offended me." "Yon Ho Gae is an insurgent of Goguryeo who has committed treason." "The only one who will punish him is the King of Goguryeo." "Do you understand?" "Your Majesty, a message has arrived from Gooknae Castle." "Lord Yon has taken the two sacred symbols." "We should have killed him when we had the chance!" "He's dead." "It says that he killed himself." "Goguryeo has lost the finest chancellor." " Teacher." " Yes, Your Majesty." " Find out how many deserters have come." " Yes, Your Majesty." " General Go!" " Yes, Your Majesty!" " Make sure our men protect them." " I will obey!" "Are we going to war?" "When Ho Gae finds out his father's dead, he will try to strike us." "We will lose our advantage if that happens." " Generals!" " Yes, Your Majesty!" "We will divide our men into groups of five hundred." "The teacher will show you the movement paths." "Yes, sir!" "Come this way." "Our first priorities are to confuse Ho Gae and halt his initial attack." "Our second priority is to bring back as many deserters as possible." "The best case scenario is... a rebellion in Ho Gae's encampment." "Chief!" "They're mobilizing the troops!" " Here." " Yes, it's all ready." "Here." "Have a safe journey." "I have something to say to you." "I..." "I mean I have to say something to you." "When I come back, I'll..." "I'll say something to you." "Jumuchi!" "You have to come with me." "I have been going with you this whole time!" "I plan to meet Ho Gae without the Khitans finding out." "Let's go." "Lord Ho Gae's Encampment" "It is a letter from Lord Yon." "This land is a battleground." "How did you come here?" "It is Lord Yon's final letter." "Final...?" "Did the king execute my father?" "On what grounds?" "Why?" "Why!" "?" "He took his own life." "After I left Gooknae Castle." "What?" "He asked for it, so I gave it to him." "The same poison that took the life of your mother, Lady Yon." "What are you saying?" "Are you saying that you gave my father poison to kill himself with?" "You gave it to my father?" "!" "?" "Yes, I did." "There was once a similar incident at the Royal Tomb." "The late king told me not to obstruct his son from becoming king, and thrust King Jumong's Great Sword into his heart and made me take the blame." " You said you killed him." " No, it wasn't me." "I couldn't tell the truth." "I couldn't tell anyone, not even Heaven!" "But Lord Yon was different." "He begged me to leave with you." "He begged me to make you the king!" "Commander!" "Where are you?" "The West Gate has collapsed!" "The soldiers are deserting in droves!" "These are two of the sacred symbols." "We will soon possess the power of Heaven." "And..." "I have come to ask you to be the father of my child." "Is it his?" "Is it his child?" "There is no hope left in Gooknae Castle." "We must go to other lands to strengthen your power." " I will help you to conquer those lands first." " Enough!" " You said you would be with me always." " I said that's enough." "You said you would be by my side no matter what, no matter how I've changed...!" "Mobilize all the soldiers for war!" " The men are on the verge of rebellion..." " I said mobilize the soldiers for war!" " Gather all the generals." " Yes, Commander." "Take that woman in there..." "and leave this place immediately." "Go somewhere where I will never see her again." "Lady Kiha!" " What?" " Please take back your order!" "How can we kill all the deserters!" "They are deserting by the thousands!" "Do you want a massacre?" "Are you suggesting that we cajole them instead?" "Goguryeo's soldiers are leaving for the Imperial Army!" "Why is that deserting?" "What nonsense do you speak?" "The commander before you is the true king!" "My troops are from Son No and we have received a message from our elder." " We will go to join His Majesty's army!" " General!" " You will have to cross me first!" " General!" "The Imperial Army is approaching to the west!" " Is it a strike?" "How many are there?" " They are approaching so fast." "We couldn't tell!" "They are approaching quickly!" " It is a strike!" "Give us your command!" " I thought you said the king was a coward!" "The Khitans are coming from the south!" "The Khitans are approaching by the thousands!" "What are you saying?" "Has the king allied himself with the Khitans?" "Soon No, So No and Gwan No have already decided." " We will leave!" " General!" "Did you not swear to be of one heart with us?" "We did not come to Khitan to become insurgents!" "Commander!" "Tell us what to do!" "The four provinces will go to the king." "If you stop us, we will strike you down!" "Do not turn your back on me." "Do not betray me." "I will take his head and take it to the king!" "Arrest these men!" "Iron Horse Warriors!" "Arrest them!" "It looks like the bleeding has stopped." "Hey!" "Wake up!" " You're not dead, right?" " Thank you!" "You scared me." "Why are you following me around?" "Don't you have any pride?" "Are you really that obsessed with me?" "Someone said those words to me once." "A long time ago." "I feel strangely anxious." "I feel like he's calling me." "Who?" "I feel like I have to be beside him." "Next to who?" "He's not far away." "I must go to him." "I feel very uneasy." "The king?" "Let's go." "Uneasy?" "Why?" "I told him I would take you to him." "I want to keep my promise." "Hey, Overlord." "Can I ask you for a favor?" "Tell me." "I know you worked hard to find me and save me." "That's why I feel bad about this favor." "Tell the king this." "Tell him you couldn't find me." "Tell him I'm somewhere you can't find me." "Weren't you the king's woman?" "Maybe in my next life." "If I pray about it earnestly every day for the rest of my life." "Did you do something wrong?" "Something unforgivable?" "You talk like you know something." "Let's say I'm afraid I'll do something unforgivable." "Hey, Overlord." "Take care of my king." "He likes to be by himself, so follow him when that happens." "And drink with him from time to time." "And... make him smile once a day." "I'll repay this debt to you in my next life." "I'm glad I met you." "See you in our next life." "Are you alright?" "I'll go look for a woman who can help you." "Who are you?" "Who are you?" "!" "Mother!" "Mother!" "Children!" "Who are you?" "!" "Mother!" "Where are we going?" "Bring me some water." "Look here." "Please open your eyes." "You should give birth to the baby." "Wake up." "Come on!" "His Majesty's Encampment" "I wonder if our king has eaten?" "I'm so full!" "What's wrong?" "Look here, King!"

"Save the baby." "Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty!" "You... the Overlord of Gwanmi Fortress!" "Where's Sujini?" "If you are looking for the Iron Horse Warriors who were being chased by the Khitans, I saw them." "If you continue to obstruct me, I will not be able to be merciful any longer." "If I go to where she was, will I be able to find her?" "She won't be there." "Everyone will be waiting for us." "The Fire Priestess and the one she serves."
