Oh-yi! Mari! Hyeop-Bo!

We're going to charge right through them!

Episode 32.

Retreat this way!

Retreat this way!

Commander!

You should move along now!

Hurry, commander!

Commander! Leave this place to us!

We're leaving together.

Commander!

Let's go.

What's wrong with you guys?

How can you sleep when we'll be dead by the time the sun comes up?

I can't believe I hired those dummies as our workers.

You're the dumbest peopie in the worid, you know that?

Miss.

Are we just going to wait here until we die?

Please think of a way to live.

Shouldn't you beg chief song-Yang not to kill us?

You need to live before you can think about taking revenge, right?

You brought this upon yourself.

Why did you provoke chief song-Yang?

You've insulted that stubborn and proud old man.

No wonder he did something about it.

He tried to kill miss.

She did him a favor by letting him live.

She should've killed him then!

We're in this mess because she didn't do anything except for provoking his temper!

Miss, don't expect the lord to come before the sun rises.

You know how the lord doesn't give in to personal sentiments, don't you?

Do something, please!

I can't just die like this!

I'm going to kili so seo-no and go to hyeon-to city.

Bring her to me.

Yes!

Chief.

High priestess yeo mi-eul is here.

What?

Do you know who I am?

Of course I do.

From what I know, you're in gyehru right now, instead of buyeo.

Did yeon ta-bal send you?

I volunteered to come.

I have no business with you.

I don't know why you're here.

I do not wish to anger the gods by hurting the high priestess.

You should just go back.

If I go back now, you will meet with great disaster.

Are you threatening me?

I can see right through your fate. Would you iike to know what that is?

Let so seo-no go and make peace with chief yeon ta-bal.

I can't do that.

Whenever I think of how yeon ta-bal and his daughter humiiiated me,

destroying gyehru wouldn't even pacify my angry heart.

Although I'm residing in gyehru because of yeon ta-bal,

I'm not visiting you for the sake of gyehru.

Both biryu and gyehru are part of jolbon.

If you're worried about the future of jolbon,

you must restore your relationship with gyehru.

That will bring great gain to biryu as well.

What gain?

Gyehru has already produced a weapon comparable to that of han

those techniques will be transferred to the other tribes of jolbon,

including biryu.

If you continue to be stubborn, biryu will be isoiated in jolbon.

Isolated?

The chiefs of hwanna, yunna, and gwanna are all supporting me!

For now, yes, but how long do you think that will keep up?

The war between buyeo and han will end in buyeo's victory.

Since you've sided with han, it's clear that you'll meet with great disaster.

It's not too late to release so seo-no and make peace.

I honestly doubt buyeo will win this war.

Don't you think I can tell where this situation is leading to?

Geum-wa made a reckless decision,

and yeon ta-bal is foolish for trusting geum-wa and being his supplier.

I can't forgive yeon ta-bal and so seo-no, even for the sake of biryu and jolbon.

You may go now.

How did it go?

He has been blinded and deafened by his ego.

What's going to happen to miss so seo-no?

I can only entrust so seo-no's fate to the gods.

Is anyone outside?

Yes, chief.

Bring so seo-no and her troop managers to me.

Yes, chief.

Since I've heard nothing until our promised time,

it seems like your father has forsaken you.

Don't blame me, blame your father instead.

Tell me if there's anything you'd like to say.

I'll relay your message to yeon ta-bal anytime.

What do you want to hear from me?

I won't be begging you for my life, so just kill me now.

Miss!

Chief, save us.

Miss so seo-no doesn't know what she's talking about because she's stili young.

Please don't kill us. Chief.

I pity you for having to serve a young kid

who doesn't even know what she's taiking about as your master.

Don't just stand there!

Off with their heads!

Yes! Off with their heads!

Miss!

It's a surprise attack! Escort the chief!

Attack!

Chief! Go somewhere safe! Escort the chief!

You should stay out of this.

Song-Yang has already fled.

We'll go after him.

It's okay.

Just get ready to go back to buyeo immediately.

Yes, commander.

Are you okay?

My mistake has brought great trouble upon buyeo and you.

It drives me crazy to think what I've done might ruin all your strategies for this war

and end up losing the war

please don't say that.

When my desire for attacking Jin-beon and yim-doon was met

with opposition from the salchudo jaegas, and the officers,

you gave me strength by volunteering to join me as the supplier of goods.

It's my fault for not protecting our ordinance troop beforehand.

Don't biame it on yourself.

Miss.

I think chief song-Yang has taken part of our ordinance away.

Find out what's missing, and get ready to go replenish them in buyeo.

Yes, miss.

What's the matter?

Your highness, the ordinance troop that had been captured by song-Yang,

has been rescued and has returned.

Realiy?

Na-ru did it.

He did it!

Your majesty, the detached forces and I have attacked nak-nang's ordinance troop,

took their ordinances, and delayed the hyeon-to city reinforcements

from uniting with the yim-doon army.

Well done.

I was worried sick because our ordinance was in the hands of our enemy

because of Yang-jeong's aliy song-Yang.

I'm so giad the detached forces saved the ordinance troop.

My carelessness has brought great trouble to his majesty.

Forgive me.

Get the ordinance troop together to go on this expedition soon.

Yes, your majesty.

With this momentum, the buyeo army will attack Jin-beon and yim-doon.

Get ready for the expedition!

Yes, your majesty!

What happened?

So seo-no should be back here with you, not ju-mong!

Your highness, I tried to go, but the queen stopped me.

What?

Even the prime minister and prince young-po joined her and tried to stop me.

I couidn't go because they told me that they're doing this for you.

Forgive me.

Are you asking me because you don't know where I'm coming from?

I don't know. Please tell me.

I couidn't stand watching you play into ju-mong's hands.

Mother!

The fate of buyeo is at stake in this war!

Are you trying to ruin this nation over your feelings toward ju-mong?

Buyeo won't perish over something like that.

The time for buyeo to perish will come the minute ju-mong seizes power.

Besides, so seo-no is on ju-mong's side. Why do you want to save her for?

So seo-no will only destroy you.

This is a list of goods song-Yang took from us.

We must replenish what we've lost immediateiy.

I see. I'll contact gyehru to replenish whatever we can't find in buyeo.

We need stronger bodyguards in this troop.

Please select some great fighters among the gyehru army.

We're pretty much entered war with biryu.

Are you sure we can manage without those soldiers?

Chief song-Yang ran away to hyeon-to city.

He wouldn't dare attack gyehru for a while.

I couidn't do anything for you.

I'm sorry.

Had you complied with chief song-Yang's request, we would've lost everything.

You did well.

I tried hard to make you a strong woman.

I sent you away in dangerous journeys despite your young age,

because I had faith that you wiil overcome those dangers.

But things were different this time.

For the first time in my life, I regretted entrusting the troop to you.

Father.

I was sorry because I raised you like a man, without ever saying any kind words,

because I wanted you to be my successor.

We must fight for the existence of gyehru between buyeo and han now.

I was in pain because I thought

the assignment I gave you was too much for you to handle.

Father...

The dangers we've faced while leading the troop will be nothing compared to

what we'll be up against from now on.

I don't know if you can handle them.

I don't want to send you to the battleground again.

Father, I know I can do it.

I know I can make gyehru unite jolbon and establish a great nation.

This war wili be the basis for realizing my dream.

Just trust me and leave it to me.

Very well.

You must take on a new attitude and be prudent in everything from now on.

I'll keep that in mind.

Miss.

Sa-yong!

I was worried because my life will be such a bore if you never came back.

Yes, I too was worried about how my life will be a bore if you were dead.

How's your wound?

Much better.

We need to take revenge on the guys who've humiliated us.

I asked his majesty not to fight in the battleground, but I couldn't stop him.

Since I'il be commanding the advanced troop,

I need his majesty to command the war.

You're right.

The soidiers wili be spirited to have his majesty personally command the war.

That'll be the driving force to beat han and win this war.

But I'm worried that both you and his majesty will be away from buyeo.

Although the sachuldo jaegas are submitting to his majesty,

they can't be trusted.

As long as the queen is ambitious, they can turn against his majesty at any time.

Before you go, you must make arrangements

to check on the salchudo jaegas and the queen.

I'll do that.

Ju-mong.

When hae mo-su left to save the migrants, he never came back.

I had to wait for him for many, many years.

Don't make me wait for you.

Yes, mother.

An arrangement to check on the salchudo jaegas and the queen?

Yes, your majesty.

The sachuldo jaegas even killed your envoy.

Although they're sending reinforcements for this war,

you never know what conspiracy they'll be plotting

while we're away from the palace.

You don't need to worry about that.

I ordered the sachuldo jaegas to send their sons to participate in this war.

I doubt any of the jaegas will plot a conspiracy after sending them to war.

Do you think they'll obey you?

I told them that if they don't do as I say, I'll attack sachuldo before I attack han.

Ju-mong.

Yes, your majesty.

You need to understand why I'm being so firm about this.

Like I said before, this war is more than a war with han.

It's a war to protect my power.

This war is more than a war to save the migrants.

It's a war to save you and lady yoo-hwa.

Do you understand me?

Yes, your majesty.

Power has two faces.

Its original form is as loathsome and obscene as it can be.

Oniy when you grab it, it turns into a kind face.

Na-ru

yes, your highness.

Deliver this letter to hyeon-to city.

Since you need to go on an expedition soon,

I want you to send someone you can trust instead from your men.

Yes, your highness.

Where do you think you're going?

What are you guys doing?

I'm pretty sure you have a letter to deliver to hyeon-to city.

Hand it over.

What are you talking about?

Move over.

Don't make me waste my breath.

Unless you want to die, hand it over.

Commander.

Your highness, the commander of the bodyguards has requested to see you.

What's it about?

I don't know.

Tell him to come inside.

Yes.

What brings you here?

I have something important to tell you.

Sit down.

I was very surprised to see what you've done with your detached forces.

I can't believe you made results like that with a few dozen soldiers.

I was only abie to make achievements like that because of your help.

What do you mean?

What's this?

That's the letter you've sent to Yang-jeong.

My achievements were possible because you gave false information to Yang-jeong.

- But... but... - Dae-so.

I can understand how you feel right now.

And that's why I can understand

why you're making these reckless judgments and actions.

But that doesn't mean I can forgive you for what you've done.

You did something you should never do, under any circumstances.

I won't say anything about the crimes you've committed so far.

But if this happens again, I will punish you not as a prince of buyeo,

but as a spy from han.

Commander, we're ready.

Where's young-po?

He's with do-chi.

Let's go.

Let's speed up, everyone!

Hurry! Hurry!

What's this?

This is my token of appreciation for what you've done for me. Please accept them.

Oh, shucks.

You shouldn't have.

Once the goods are disposed, I'll give you an even better gift.

Very well.

Faster, everyone!

The commander of the bodyguards is here. Get away.

If anyone moves, he'll be the first to lose his head.

Where's do-chi?

He's inside.

Lead the way.

- The wine tastes delicious today. - Yes, it is.

Are you done?

Sir.

What's the matter?

Commander? What are you doing here?

I came because I have evidence that do-chi is doing illegal trades.

I'm confiscating everything you've smuggled from heng-in and ok-Jo.

You'li be put to death according to wartime laws.

Your highness.

Commander.

Don't get worked up, and listen to me.

Do-chi was doing iliegal trades because I consented to it.

Young-po!

How come you only know one side of the story?

Once war breaks out, prices for everything will go up the wali.

If we sell the goods then, the peopie will be happy.

Do-chi did something even this country couldn't do.

We should reward him, not kill him.

You're not making any sense.

Very well.

If that's what do-chi was trying to do, then I won't punish them.

But I still need to confiscate the goods he has smuggled

but... but...

Let's go.

Commander!

Your highness!

I put everything I had in this transaction!

If they get confiscated, I'm ruined!

But ju-mong is the one who has the final say. What do you expect me to do?

Once this war is over, I'll give you another chance.

Until then, just be thankful that you're still alive.

Go to the battleground ahead of everyone with oh-yi, mari, and hyeop-Bo.

Okay.

Before we go to war, I want you to get a clear grasp of the geographical features of the area.

Don't worry.

Since I've been there before with you, it's all in my head.

I'll have the place figured out in no time.

You should leave when the sun rises.

Yes, commander.

What brings you here?

I came here because I heard you were heavily injured.

But you look fine to me.

Were you worried about me, sir?

Why are you addressing me like that for?

You're a royai bodyguard now.

How can a humble person iike me treat you with disrespect?

Enough of that.

Don't you need to become a man instead of a woman when you're fighting?

I should, but it's not that easy.

I had a hard time getting this sword from mo pal-mo.

When you have to fight, fight like a man.

Thanks.

Bye then.

What?

Are you telling me to give up the chance to chop all the han heads I want?

Commander, please let me fight.

You'll be helping buyeo more by making steel swords instead of killing enemies.

That's why I need you to stay in buyeo and work.

If that's your order, I have no choice but to follow it.

But I really want to fight!

Didn't you hear what the commander just said?

He says you shouid be doing something eise!

Don't worry.

I'll assist him in speeding up the steel sword production.

I have another job for you, mu-song.

What?

I'm appointing you as the head of the palace Garrison.

I need you to guard the buyeo palace.

I wili guard the buyeo palace with my life!

He even made the sachuldo jaegas' sons fight in this war.

He wants to keep a tight leash on me and the salchudo jaegas.

Your highness, the divination palace has been ordered not to intervene in this war.

The fate of the nation lies in this war.

How can he leave the divination palace out of this?

Did you accept his orders?

I had no choice.

The divination palace has no authority over his majesty.

I have no choice but to lay myself down and wait for the right time.

The more you struggle, the deeper you'll get bogged down.

Your highness, you need to wait for the right time.

Are you leaving?

I received news that the buyeo army has ieft.

I must hurry.

Father...

You don't have to tell me how you feel because I already know.

But as soon as war breaks out, dae-so and I have no choice but to be enemies.

Even if you and dae-so should get estranged and be unable to get married,

just accept it as fate.

Please be safe.

Don't worry.

I'll make you fulfiil your ambition of holding buyeo in your hands.

Now that the Iron army and the soldiers of the three commanderies are here,

it's only a matter of time before we strike buyeo.

But the Iron army was powerless against buyeo's detached forces.

Maybe they know the Iron army's weaknesses.

Don't worry about that, the buyeo soldiers are stili afraid of the Iron army.

Our problem is that we don't have much ordinance

because the nak-nang's ordinances are cut off.

Besides, buyeo has developed a sword as strong as the steel swords of han.

The longer this war runs, the more we're at disadvantage

because of the ordinances.

We must get the Iron army to strike them first and win this war as soon as we can.

Although the han army seems to be stronger at first,

the Jin-beon and yim-doon armies are just mere undisciplined mobs.

The outcome of this war depends on

how we defeat the reinforcements from hyeon-to city.

Our biggest problem is the iron army.

Although the royal bodyguards have been trained to fight the Iron army,

most of the soldiers are still afraid of them.

If the commander's detached forces strike first and allure the Iron army away,

dae-so and I will take the entire army and annihilate our enemy.

That's a reckless strategy.

If we fight a frontai war with them, we'll lose too many men.

Chief general, what do you think?

I agree with prince dae-so.

I think prolonging this war until the han army runs out of ordinance,

and gets exhausted, is better than a frontal war.

Han is in a hurry right now because they don't have ordinances from nak-nang.

If we wait, they'll attack us first with the iron army.

We must be in defense for now,

and wait for the right time to annihilate the enemy in one big fight.

Your majesty, the iron army has begun the attack!

They're trying to allure us. We shouidn't respond to them.

Since it's a battle among the warriors, not the headquarters, why don't we go for it?

Why don't we send someone to keep the soldiers' spirits up?

Are you up for it, na-ru?

Yes!

Archers! To the front!

Attack!

Retreat!

Commander! They're retreating!

I'll lead the soldiers and go for them.

That's what they want us to do.

They won't be attacking us anymore.

Just let the soldiers rest.

What are we going to do?

They're not doing anything.

They're probably waiting for this war to go to long-term.

Who's leading the buyeo army?

Ju-mong.

Governor!

What's the matter?

The war with the southwest yi tribe has ended in victory.

Realiy?

Yes, we just received the news.

The yo-dong army is already on their way.

We have a problem.

What's the matter?

I have news from our troop in Chang'an.

Han has won the war with the southwest yi tribe.

The yo-dong army who fight in that war is already on its way.

You must report this to his majesty immediately and come up with a plan.

Our chances of winning this war will get slim if the yo-dong army joins them.

Your majesty, the yo-dong army might attack the buyeo palace.

We must make the soldiers go back.

Your majesty, prince dae-so is right.

Let's save attacking Jin-beon and yim-doon for later.

We can't go back in vain like this!

Even if the yo-dong army is coming, they won't be here in a day or two.

We still have the sachuido soldiers in buyeo,

and we also left the central veteran army in case something like this happens.

We're not going down that easiiy.

I'll think of a way to win this war in a blitz.

Win this war in a blitz?

Let's see what you can come up with.

Dae-so, why don't we petition his majesty again instead of listening to ju-mong?

Young-po.

Yes, dae-so?

What did I tell you?

This war can be an opportunity for the two of us who are in trouble.

Let's just wait and see what happens.

Okay.

Gosh, why couldn't the southwest yi tribe put up with it a little longer?

Commander, I think the soldiers have also heard the news.

They're afraid that we might lose this war.

We must break them into pieces before the yo-dong army gets here.

That means we need to attack them first.

It's too much of a risk for the main army to fight together.

We need to end this in one shot.

In just one shot.

Sit down.

What did you just put inside that fire?

You mean this?

The da-mul army used to call this sotan.

We made this during a cold winter with commander hae mo-s...

He once used this to attack the enemy with fire.

Do you know how we can make this?

Yes, of course.

Commander!

I heard you were looking for us.

What I'm about to tell you to do right now must be carried out discreetly.

Get a case, collect urine by making all the soldiers urinate in that case.

What are we going to do with their urine?

Just do as I say.

Tell them that anyone who wastes their urine will be punished severeiy

according to military laws.

From now on, urinate in this case.

If anyone urinates elsewhere, you'll be punished according to military laws.

You got that?

Collect urine?

Yes, there's a case in every camp, according to the commander's orders.

A case for urine in a battlefield?

Maybe ju-mong's gone desperate and is trying to spray urine on the enemy.

I was just kidding, dae-so.

I don't know what he can possibly be up to.

Hey guys!

Dig those out.

Shouldn't we end this war before the yo-dong army gets here?

I'm getting ready to make an advanced attack on the enemy.

What's this?

This is called a sotan.

This is made from incrustation from the case full of the soldiers' urine,

mixed with ashes from burning greenbriers.

If you put this in fire, the fire flares up.

It's not strong enough to make a huge blow on the enemy.

But if we throw tens, I mean hundreds of these into their headquarters,

they'll be scared out of their wits.

But there's no way we can throw it to them.

If we run to their headquarters with this,

they'il shoot us down with their arrows before we get there.

There's no way we can make them blow.

We can't use a sotan when we can't even get close enough to shoot arrows.

Why not?

Is there a way?

I'll show you. Bring commander ju-mong to me.

Are you ready, oo-tae?

What's up with the kite?

Tie the sotan onto the kite.

Okay.

Since the wind is blowing towards the enemy's headquarters these days,

isn't it a perfect time to go fly a kite?

Does this solve your problem?

Sa-yong!

You did it!

No one should know about this until we order the attack.

I want to make a surprise attack tonight.

I need you to lead the main army, your majesty.

Got it.

Your majesty, all the soldiers are lined up, waiting for your command to attack.

Listen, everyone!

Tonight's glorious victory belongs to buyeo!

I'll be with you till the end!

What's that?

Isn't that a kite?

What in the world are they trying to do?

Now's the time!

Put out the fire!

Put out the fire!

Put out the fire quick!

Fire! We need water!

Quick! Hurry up!

Hurry hurry!

Attack!

Attack!

Long live buyeo!

Hurray!

Your majesty

keep this from the buyeo soldiers

please avenge my parents' death

chundong

long live his majesty!

Hurray!

Before we annihilate the han army...

And capture lintun and chinbun

we shall continue to attack

find yangjeong right away

tell him jumong is pursuing...

The governor-general of lintun

prince jumong is missing

we don't know if he's still alive

your majesty, please say something!

From this day onwards.

I'm going to appease every single bitterness...

I've stashed away in my heart
