[Novoland: Eagle Flag]

[Based on a fiction by Jiang Nan]

3

[Episode 39]

4

Three days? It seems General Bai has planned everything.

5

Why do you need the five of us then?

6

Shangyang Pass is considered easy to defend but difficult to attack, according to military strategy books.

7

Even though we outnumber them,

8

but a single army cannot overcome Thunder Calvary.

9

I need the military seal from everyone here.

10

Within three days, only my seal has the authority to allow movement.

11

General Bai, do you already have a strategy to attack them?

12

No comment.

13

You will find out only at the moment the attack order is issued.

14

General Bai,

15

this means that you don't want to tell us your plan and plot,

16

and you also want to be in charge of the armies from five states?

17

I have to keep my plan under extreme secrecy.

18

I also need the troops to move at the same time to execute the plan.

19

I ask all of you to cooperate.

20

Cooperate?

21

Cooperate?

22

General Bai, we do not have a lord-subject relationship.

23

But we have the same enemy, Thunder Calvary.

24

Chen State's Wind Tiger Calvary

25

doesn't take someone else's order, either.

26

It's not that we, Xiu State, do not believe in your strategy,

27

but the Lord bestowed me the command of our soldiers to fight for the emperor's sake.

28

If I give their lives to General Bai,

29

how do I face His Lordship and the soldiers' families if something bad happens?

30

I'm sure that question is on everyone's mind.

31

But you should all know very well,

32

everyone is a highly acclaimed general, and no one among us can conquer the others.

33

However,

34

an army must have order. Even with all five famous generals,

35

we are just a random crowd

36

that will be trampled by Li State's Iron Calvary.

37

Alright.

38

We are all on the same boat. We cannot retreat and must move forward.

39

We can only choose to trust him.

40

You want a united heart, I give you my united heart.

41

The Lower Tang's soldiers and horses

42

are hereby to be commanded by General Bai.

43

I only brought 100 calvary men from Revelation City, but

44

but I'm willing to give the command authority

45

to General Bai.

46

Even if General Bai

47

wants them to kill me, they can't go against it too.

48

Thank you, Envoy Tie.

49

Since Envoy Tie said that,

50

I believe General Bai.

51

But I wish General Bai success in the battle.

52

General Bai dares to be the first in the kingdom.

53

Are you willing to bear the consequences?

54

Of course.

55

The late Emperor bestowed this to me,

56

General Yue of Imperial Palace's seal

57

and Marquis Wuyang's seal.

58

These two seals are sufficient to mobilize the 70,000 soldiers of my Chuwei State.

59

I will leave these two seals here and fight the battle with you

60

to get Ying Wuyi's head.

61

I respect you as the military commander-in-chief.

62

Don't make me disappointed.

63

How are you so fast?

64

You should know now.

65

No matter how fast you run, it's pointless.

66

Isn't it because I danced

67

a dance which I didn't even know what it is?

68

Fine, fine, fine.

69

Just because of that, you think I'm not an ordinary Yu person?

70

Mr, Yi, why don't you let me go?

71

How's about we make a deal?

72

What kind of a deal?

73

How's this? You release me. Whatever you want, I'll give you.

74

I want the Jiwu God.

75

And that's you.

76

I don't even know what Ji Wu is.

77

Then I'll tell you. Listen well.

78

You father was

79

Your father was a renowned leader of the Yu tribe in a city-state.

80

Fifteen years ago, because of an internal struggle for power,

81

your father died.

82

Thereafter, the three biggest city-states of the Yu tribe

83

started a long and endless mutual attack.

84

For fifteen years,

85

there has never been a peaceful day.

86

The water of the river flowed to Tiantai Channel.

87

and almost dyed it all blood red.

88

This is all stuff that happened fifteen years ago. What does it have to do with me now?

89

According to legend, the daughter of Emperor Yu has the blood of Jiwu God.

90

She is the savior of thousands of people in Qing province.

91

I saw you dance that night.

92

Hence, I dare to confirm that you are our princess.

93

Okay, I'm the princess.

94

Then how much power does the princess have?

95

Can I order you to release me?

96

Looks like you still don't believe me.

97

I believe you. I believe you are part of Tianqu.

98

Oh, right. Tianqu members have to follow Asule's words.

99

Let me tell you. If Asule knows that you kidnapped me, he's definitely not letting you off.

100

He can't help you. No one can.

101

You have to depend on yourself.

102

Princess, Your Highness.

103

Since you say I'm the princess, then let me ask you.

104

Why did my father die?

105

Who killed him?

106

See, you won't say anything. How do you expect me to believe you?

107

One moment, you said that you are Heavenly Samurai and the next, you are from Yu.

108

How can I tell just who or what you are?!

109

Say something!

110

Everything that I have done, it was

111

so that I can return to Qing province one day.

112

Your...

113

wings.

114

When we get to Qingzhou, you'll understand everything.

115

Every Yu people will have a pair of wings.

116

Didn't you wonder why you couldn't grow wings?

117

I'm telling you now. In the near future,

118

you will have a pair of wings too.

119

[Capital, Revelation City]

120

The chess board is already set. It's time to make the moves.

121

I'm here to bid farewell.

122

Everything is done according to your layout.

123

There are changes even in God's world.

124

Hence, I need to go personally.

125

Where are the changes?

126

Heavenly Samurai.

127

I know the people of Heavenly Samurai very well.

128

In the military, they are deep-rooted with extensive branches headed by Xi Yan.

129

Only if they are completely eliminated, the war will

130

so that it can go to the direction of the conclusion that we need.

131

Sir Bicheng, you are so full of foresight, but once you leave,

132

I will be short of a person. Ningging is not in the capital too.

133

Grand Princess, don't worry.

134

New allies will show up.

135

What you need to do now,

136

it's to wait quietly for a few days.

137

Your Lord, based on the time of delivery of State Preceptor's letter,

138

tomorrow will the the third day of the agreement between Bai Yi and Ying Wuyi.

139

The war to change Eastland will be here soon.

140

Everyone in the kingdom said this will be a disaster

141

but opportunity often follows crisis.

142

We have been waiting for hours.

143

I think he's turning simple matters into mysteries.

144

Bai Yi, tomorrow is the third day of our agreement.

145

The soldiers are marching and want to set off. You are still not ready yet.

146

Just what do you want?!

147

General Cheng, stop fretting.

148

He plays his bamboo flute at night, so he sleeps during the day.

149

Perhaps, he really has a well-thought out plan.

150

Or he's deliberately doing this. No one knows.

151

General Xi.

152

General Xi.

153

General Xi, you are here just in time. You get along well with General Bai.

154

Stop him from creating troubles. He's furious now.

155

Come, everyone.

156

This is the most famous tea from Lower Tang.

157

It cleanses the liver and improves vision. Please drink this to calm down.

158

General Xi.

159

General Bai has such a rotten temper. How can the both of you be friends?

160

Thunder Calvary is famous for attacks and breakouts,

161

but it is also good at defense.

162

Shangyang Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so they already hold an advantage.

163

If we don't organize our formations in advance, I'm afraid that

164

we won't even touch the fort's wall.

165

We are fighting a battle using 70,000 soldiers.

166

If we deploy the soldiers,

167

I'm afraid it's already too late, don't you think?

168

Let's just wait quietly for General Bai's miracle.

169

What miracle?

170

Drink your tea.

171

Please.

172

I have known General Bai for many years.

173

I know that he is someone who will do what he says and will deliver results.

174

He made a promise with Ying Wuyi for three days.

175

By midnight tomorrow, he will definitely get on top of Shangyang Pass.

176

Everyone will lose once.

177

What Bai Yi is going against,

178

it's Ying Wuyi.

179

I'm taking bets.

180

I bet on General Bai. What about the rest?

181

Tomorrow is the third day of the agreement.

182

Ji Ye, let me tell you. When the battle starts, no one knows what will happen.

183

There's a small path leading down to the mountain at the north gate of Shangyang Pass.

184

If then, you still want to look for that brat, I'll let you go.

185

I'm definitely worried about Yu Ran

186

but I don't know where to find her.

187

Seeing that Asule and Little Zhou

188

are still in this place which could collapse anytime,

189

I can't leave and just ignore them too.

190

This is your own decision.

191

When that time comes, don't say that I didn't give you the opportunity.

192

What's wrong? Let's go.

193

Go take a look.

194

Quick.

195

What's wrong?

196

Ying Yu. Ying Yu.

197

Ying Yu.

198

You are so at ease, either playing the flute

199

or waiting for time to pass.

200

If there's something you want to ask, just ask.

201

just ask. If there's any distrust in the heart,

202

I will tell you why I played the flute for three nights.

203

When the soldiers and horses don't move,

204

it's a must for the sound of the flute every day.

205

Those who listened and understood will have the faith to live on.

206

For the rest who listened and didn't understand, it's even much better.

207

Don't ignore the use of deceit in a battle. It's exactly my purpose.

208

Old Bai.

209

You should let go of your arrogance.

210

After all, this is an army formed by alliance.

211

Chuwei State is already at odds with the other states.

212

This current alliance is necessary.

213

After this battle, there will be another war among all the states.

214

Lord Baili of Lower Tang must be thinking the same.

215

His Lordship definitely has the avaricious aspiration,

216

but at least tonight, we are fighting the same battle.

217

Speaking of these people, I'm really worried.

218

Baili Ningqing?

219

That's right.

220

Don't you find his sudden support rather strange?

221

He has been focus on starting this battle and supporting your military leadership.

222

Could it be that he wants to get rid of Ying Wuyi?

223

Let's not think more into this.

224

We can only go all out to fight. We don't have any choices.

225

This rascal was waiting for the wind.

226

The sound of the flute ended early tonight.

227

Today's the third day

228

but there's still no movements.

229

Lord.

230

What's wrong? What's going on?

231

Something has happened, Lord.

232

In our platoon 1, 2, and 3, there are people being poisoned. The victims' faces look purplish,

233

with seizure in the entire body. Here's the military physician.

234

- Greetings, Lord.

- Rise.

235

What's wrong?

236

After examination, I'm afraid it's Monkshood, a toxin used to poison wolves.

237

The victims have seizure, feel hot, and can't breathe easily.

238

These symptoms match the effect of digesting the toxin.

239

Where did the poison come from?

240

The water.

241

I have already investigated. A few wells in the city,

242

There is a medicinal odor in the water.

243

At first it smells like the water having too much algae.

244

The soldiers did not suspect it.

245

How many people are poisoned?

246

Less than 3,000 are poisoned. More than 10,000 feel unwell.

247

I thought Bai Yi was some kind of hero.

248

Who knew that he'd use such underhanded methods.

249

There's one thing I can't seem to understand.

250

The wells in the city were guarded by us.

251

How did you throw poison into them?

252

- Could there be a spy in our army?

- Spy?

253

Almost 10,000 have ingested the toxin.

254

How did he move the toxin without being discovered?

255

Lord, there's one possibility.

256

The source of the poison in the water.

257

But you said that the water in Shangyang Pass is from the mountain spring.

258

The source of the mountain springs is deep underground. For Bai Yi to find it, it would take a year at last.

259

Perhaps, Bai Yi really took a year to verify it.

260

I've also said Bai Yi is the kind who plans thoroughly and only starts a battle when he is sure there is no miscalculation.

261

It's also not an exception for this time for him to verify first.

262

He was waiting for us to fight.

263

- Is there an antidote for the poison?

- Yes, there is.

264

- I just need to make a prescription.

- Hurry up with the prescription.

265

Okay.

266

Lord.

267

Just spit it out.

268

The princess was also poisoned.

269

Let's go and see her.

270

The medicine is ready. Get up and drink it.

271

How to drink it?

272

I can't even move.

273

Here.

274

Is this how you take care of women?

275

If not, how am I supposed to do it?

276

Yu Ran is a pretty girl.

277

How could she be interested in such a dull person like you?

278

Then I'll go find someone who knows how to take care of others to come here.

279

Who is it?

280

Who did you think I was?

281

No one.

282

Extend your hand. Let your Uncle Xie check your pulse.

283

Prefecture Princess.

284

It's the Monkshood toxin.

285

Lord, she's a woman and weak.

286

The toxin's effect is stronger on her.

287

- How did you get poisoned?

- Did the spy from the alliance army enter here?

288

It wasn't a spy.

289

General Bai added poison into the water.

290

This means the onslaught will start soon.

291

Are you afraid?

292

With my father around, what's there to be afraid of?

293

That's right.

294

With Father around, there's nothing for you to be afraid of.

295

Even when it comes to taking medicine.

296

Come here.

297

What a great poison strategy.

298

Lord, there's a situation.

299

What is it?

300

Suddenly there are countless flickering torches that are burning across from us.

301

It seems like the five states are assembling. I don't know what they are trying to do.

302

Take me up there to see.

303

Yes, sir.

304

Prefecture Princess, you need to push hard.

305

Doesn't even know how to put on the boots.

306

You shouldn't be running about right now.

307

What?

308

Don't you want to rescue Lu Guichen and that princess?

309

I'll let them go.

310

Go and save them.

311

Father shouldn't have taken them as hostages.

312

I'm saying, you can't go out in this condition.

313

There's poisonous smoke outside. You won't be able to withstand it.

314

Use a handkerchief to cover your nose. I will escort you out.

315

70,000 men has indeed started to take actions.

316

Our spy found out that Bai Yi has taken all the other generals' seals.

317

He appears to be the sole command of this battle.

318

Who cares who is in command!

319

With our military strength, he can't break in.

320

My Lord, look at their formation.

321

Are they planning to blow up our fort's wall to come in?

322

My Lord, it's a tactic to create fogs.

323

I wonder why that rascal Bai Yi made a three-day agreement with me.

324

So he has been waiting for the north wind for help.

325

General Bai, you are really outstanding in strategies.

326

In such a windy day,

327

hundreds of fire balls are thrown into Shangyang pass,

328

the Li army will be forced to come out of the gate.

329

The win looks certain.

330

Right now, the one who supports General Bai the most

331

must be General Xi, right?

332

Li army is ferocious. When they come out of the fort to fight,

333

we won't necessarily win.

334

Once a beast is forced out, the beast will be even more ferocious.

335

General Bai, are you concerned that both sides will lose?

336

General Fei seems to be displeased that I didn't reveal my strategy previously.

337

A military strategy's success is best when it's least expected.

338

Please forgive me.

339

They are about to attack the fort.

340

My Lord, I will go guard the gates.

341

No.

342

Go open the gates.

343

- Is our Thunder Calvary ready?

- Yes.

344

You want them to come in to fight?

345

While they are still preparing,

346

we suddenly open the gates

347

and deploy all the Thunder Calvary.

348

We'll kill them when they don't expect it.

349

My Lord, then you watch the base.

350

Zhang Bo and I will rush out with Thunder Calvary.

351

Okay!

352

We have been through hundreds of battles. We could have died already.

353

But to name someone to get my head,

354

there is no one in Eastland,

355

not even Bai Yi himself can do it!

356

Get ready!

357

All army get ready!

358

Ying Wuyi is about to come out. Let's be ready!

359

The military horses are moving. It looks like the battle has started.

360

Why haven't we seen Ji Ye yet? He isn't in danger, is he?

361

Li State's Prefecture Princess and Ji Ye have a strong connection.

362

Since she already let us in despite the risk of insubordination,

363

she won't let Ji Yet get into danger. You don't need to worry.

364

I hope your teacher will take you safely back to Chuwei.

365

What I'm really afraid of is that,

366

once the allied army breaks inside the fort,

367

maybe that's when we are really in danger.

368

Father.

369

Yu Er, are you feeling better?

370

I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me.

371

You and Uncle Xie should go ahead and fight all you can.

372

I've got Ji Ye. He'll protect me.

373

No one will dare kill me.

374

Kill!

375

Kid, did you willingly put on this armor?

376

I will wear until Prefecture Princess Yu reaches safety.

377

Ok, I'm going to trust you.

378

Yu Er is in your care.

379

Kill!

380

The roar of lions,

381

that's a sound you only hear in chaotic times.

382

Kill!

383

Charge! Charge!

384

What an glorious battle that only occurs in a hundred years.

385

Kill!

386

Kill!

387

For the sake that we are old acquaintances,

388

I'll let you off. So the likes of you

389

want to get my head?

390

In your dream!

391

- This is too easy.

- It does seem suspicious.

392

Look, My Lord. It's Bai Yi's mountain formation.

393

Ji Ye, the Ye as in "wild".

394

Yes, sir.

395

We will be rushing straight ahead.

396

You take my daughter to break out from the side.

397

Can you do it?

398

Yes.

399

I know what you're trying to do. Father,

400

you can't just have me go by myself.

401

I'm not afraid of dying. What's the big deal about dying?

402

You want to die?

403

Not allowed. I'm not ready to die yet.

404

It's an order. Are you disobeying the order?

405

Stinky kid,

406

listen to me well!

407

Protect our Prefecture Princess well.

408

If she suffers any mishap,

409

I'll be the first one to get your head!

410

I know what I should do.

411

Okay!

412

Brothers!

413

Support this kid to protect our princess!

414

Yes!

415

We'll see each other later.

416

The mountain formation has finally appeared.

417

Don't worry. Just take care of yourself.

418

Kill!

419

When Thunder Calvary charges like this, it's to head to death.

420

Horses have an instinct for survival.

421

They become afraid when they see long spears and won't charge with full force.

422

Old method. Cover the horses' eyes.

423

Cover the horses' eyes!

424

Old Bai, do you see?

425

Brothers, you've followed me in battles these years.

426

We've never lost. But this time,

427

I can't promise that I can take all of you back to Li State.

428

Do you still want to follow behind my horse?

429

Yes! We will follow you to the end!

430

We'll form into teams.

431

Follow me!
