Episode 47.

They might find our hideout.

We have to attack.

Wait.

Let's go back.

Once they're sure we're not lying in ambush, they'll attack.

Jae-sa, moo-gul.

- Get ready to attack. - Yes.

How did it go?

I didn't see any signs of ambush.

Tell the iron army to stand at the forefront. We'll make an attack.

Yes, your royal highness.

We'll make an attack. Stand at the forefront.

It'll be dark soon.

I think we should camp here for the night and attack in the morning.

Does he want to attack in the morning?

Yes, your royal highness.

Our enemies are disorderly refugees of less than a few hundreds.

What are they afraid of?

Go stand at the forefront!

Our enemies are disorderly refugees what are you afraid of?

Go stand at the forefront!

We will attack in the night!

- Mari - yes

when they attack, we'll take them on here.

Don't let them see us until they completely pass this point.

We're few in numbers, and the da-mul army is inexperienced.

We can only make a surprise attack with fire.

We're not going to frontal war until their defenses break down.

- Understand? - Yes

- go to your places and prepare for the enemy's attack. - Yes

to the places!

General.

These arrows are made of steel.

You can Pierce the iron army's armors with these.

Well done.

Distribute them to the da-mul army lying in ambush immediately.

Yes. Got it.

Let's go.

I'll go back to the hideout to continue making the arrowheads.

Thank you.

Every single arrowhead you make is

like adding another soldier to the da-mul army.

Hurry!

Yes!

Until they're all within arrowshot range, don't move.

What's going on?

I thought no one was in ambush!

Forgive me.

Retreat!

Retreat!

Shoot!

Your royal highness!

Your royal highness!

If we don't retreat now, we'll be wiped out.

Retreat!

Yes, your royal highness!

Retreat!

Retreat!

General!

Our strategy worked!

About half of the enemies are dead by now.

We can go to a frontal battle.

We can go to a frontal battle.

Why don't we go after them, and finish them off?

Your royal highness.

Half of the iron army and the buyeo army are dead.

Many are wounded.

Their arrows can Pierce through the Iron army's armor. We can't fight.

He says their arrows can Pierce through their armors.

Why don't we retreat back to hyeon-to?

Shut up!

We're attacking them again tomorrow morning!

Your royal highness!

What's going on?

They made a surprise attack on us!

What?

Give me my sword!

Your royal highness.

Your royal highness, you're wounded.

That's dangerous.

Give me my sword!

Your royal highness have to get out of here!

Don't' just stand there! Bring his horse! Now!

Prince dae-so is getting away.

I'll go after him.

Don't.

Just fight the remaining enemies.

How did it go?

Did you get ju-mong?

Why aren't you answering me?

Forgive me for saying this,

but the iron army was annihilated, and prince dae-so lost.

What?!

How did this happen?!

Forgive me.

You took the iron army and you were beaten by not even a few hundred da-mul army?!

Does it make sense to you?!

There was only one way in ju-mong's camp.

We had to go through a narrow valley. We were ambushed there.

We couldn't fight there.

If it's such a difficult spot, you should have expected an ambush.

As a commander, you didn't check it out before?

I sent a group to check it out, but there was no sign of ambush.

I don't want to hear excuses!

You were beaten by ju-mong's unskilled people?

The world will laugh at you.

I'm sorry your royal highness.

Please kill me.

Ju-mong, you bastard.

I will pay back this humiliation.

I'll catch and grind your bones, then eat them.

What are you going to do now?

We'll go back to buyeo.

Get ready.

Yes.

I'm proud of all of you.

You guys are tough.

Of course, of course.

The strong iron sword can't win alone.

The courage of the da-mul army is stronger than the iron sword that I made.

I'm proud of you!

Here... eat this.

Aigoo... no! I'm okay!

Take it.

Thank you.

Here... take this.

I'm okay.

We all worked hard.

You take it.

Thank you!

That loser!

That...

The da-mul army just fought a battle, but we've nothing but rice balls to eat.

I feel bad for them.

If order to build a new nation, you'll have a lot more hardships coming your way.

Everyone must endure this.

More refugees will continue to join us. We also need to fight han and buyeo.

We're determined, but we can't go on without sufficient food to feed our men.

Think of a way to secure food and clothes.

We're in trouble.

Even if we cultivate land to farm, it'll take a long time to harvest.

No country or tribe will help us.

We should attack the han business troop from hyeon-to to get food.

In the long run, we should unite the tribes currently ruled by han.

General.

Why don't we use the go-San salt?

Right, go-San will give us all the salt we need.

If go-San gives me salt, buyeo will attack them.

I can't let them face danger because of me.

Like yeo mi eul said, we're going to attack the han business troop,

and the tributes sent to han.

Yes, general!

Your royal highness, are you okay?

I'm fine.

- Gather the officers for a meeting. - Yes

your royal highness.

Your royal highness, her majesty is waiting for you.

Your majesty.

Dae-so is back.

How did it go?

The iron army was wiped out, and dae-so lost.

Really?

Yes, your majesty.

He even annihilated the iron army.

You don't have to worry about ju-mong anymore.

I'm back.

I heard you were wounded.

Are you okay?

Yes, please don't worry.

Look at you!

I can't believe the buyeo's army,

and the iron army were annihilated by less than a few hundred...

Forgive me.

That's what you always say. Aren't you sick of saying that?

We can't rest until ju-mong is dead.

Focus all your energy on getting ju-mong!

I joined with hyeon-to's iron army to attack ju-mong in mt. Bon-gye, but lost.

I'm ashamed to see the officers.

Your royal highness.

Don't say that.

Today's failure can teach us to prepare for the future.

Be strong.

Like the court minister said,

this defeat will be a motivation to attack ju-mong again.

Buyeo will focus all its energy on attacking ju-mong and the army.

I'd like everyone to cooperate and gather your wisdom.

Yes, your royal highness!

- Bring ye soya to me. - Yes.

You should be in prison, not in a luxurious chamber.

I can't stand watching this.

I better use you as my maid.

If that's what your highness want, then I'll be your maid.

I don't know what makes you so proud.

You must think his majesty and lady yoo-hwa can shield you, but you're wrong.

Hao-chen.

Yes, your highness.

Take her away.

Yes!

Take your hands off of her!

What are you trying to do?

She seemed to be in too much luxury.

I was going to make her my maid.

How rude of you!

I know you've been arrogant because of dae-so and your father,

but how can you do this to a pregnant woman?

Get out of here!

The child she bore, is an enemy of buyeo.

Why should I care to what happen to buyeo's enemy?

If you stop me, you'll be in danger.

You wretch!

How dare you threaten me!

Go ahead and try.

Sul-LAN has a reason for being so wicked.

Dae-so went to mt. Bon-gye to get ju-mong.

Instead, he came back defeated.

You were insulted because of ju-mong.

If that's the reason, I can take it.

When I first came to the buyeo palace with ju-mong,

her majesty was hostile towards me, like sul-LAN is to you.

I endured it all to protect and raise ju-mong.

Soya, you can't protect your baby if something happens to you.

No matter what may come your way, you must give birth and raise this child.

If dae-so cannot get ju-mong, more troubles will come your way.

You must wait and endure it.

Understand?

Yes, mother.

Sit down.

Gyehru is in trouble because you were thoughtless.

Since we don't have an army anymore,

gyehru needs to continue business journeys in order to survive.

I need you to go to ok-jeo with the business troop.

Mother, so seo-no is pregnant.

She can't lead a business journey.

Be quiet.

Do you have anything to say?

Chang'an is hostile towards gyehru, yet you sent me there.

Chan-soo and I have risked our lives to go there.

Although ok-jeo is far, at least your life won't be in danger.

Since grand chief song-Yang hates you, you'll be better off somewhere else than gyehru.

Do as what lady yeon che-ryeong say.

Sa-yong.

Yes, my lord.

What do you think about so seo-no's decision of giving everything up?

Even though it was hard to think of a plan,

I think we would've been better off going to war.

You'd rather fight back and die?

Sometimes, being alive is more painful than death.

That proves that you're still young.

I think I've lived long enough, but I'd rather live than die,

especially when I have a lot of things left to do.

What do you need to do?

Ask so seo-no what I want and desire.

What she hopes for is what I need to do.

My lord!

What's the matter?

Lady yeon che-ryeong has told lady so seo-no to lead the business journey.

But she's pregnant!

That's absurd!

I know!

My lord, you have to stop this.

I will lead the troop.

Let so seo-no stay in gyehru.

But you're the troop's guard.

You can't do business!

My father and sa-yong can do that for me.

Forget it.

Are you really going to send so seo-no to the business journey?

Yes.

Do you have to do that?

In order for gyehru to survive, we need a good manager like so seo-no to go.

That's her responsibility, right?

I didn't object when chan-soo became the chief.

Stop acting childish.

You did what you wanted to do for many years.

Thanks to you, my husband was killed by bandits on a business journey.

I still have a long way to go until I satisfy the grudges I hold in my heart.

I'm leaving.

My lady!

No!

Just refuse to go.

She won't kill you.

Even if my aunt didn't send me, I was going to volunteer to go.

Father, you and I need to endure this humiliation and wait for our time.

But if we wait while doing nothing,

we can't grab opportunity when it comes our way.

If we want to beat grand chief song-Yang, and unite cholbon, we need money.

Going on business trips to save up a fortune is the only way we can survive.

So seo-no is right.

Although so seo-no is pregnant, she was also born during a business journey.

You have no reason not to go.

Your royal highness, this is unavoidable.

Come in.

Have a seat.

What should I do?

From what I've experienced,

no army can attack mt. Bon-gye easily because of its features.

If we can't attack him, then we should get ju-mong out of mt. Bon-gye.

Do you have a plan?

During the late emperor hae pu-ru's days,

we arrested hae mo-su while he was running around everywhere.

How?

Hae mo-su was ready for a battle with han,

when he heard news that the refugees are being sent to han.

He attacked while the refugees were being transported.

But the refugees were actually han soldiers in disguise.

He was attacked by the iron army lying in ambush.

That's how the da-mul army was annihilated, and hae mo-su got caught.

I'm back.

Well done.

How are things in buyeo?

Everyone in buyeo is talking about how prince dae-so failed to attack you.

But I haven't heard anything else about the buyeo palace.

I doubt dae-so will do nothing about the humiliation he received.

He's probably plotting something.

Have you heard anything about my mother and wife?

Tell me.

Her highness, ye soya, is pregnant.

She's locked up in her chamber right now.

Oh-yi told us what happened.

General, are you going to leave her highness like that?

What will prince dae-so do when her highness gives birth to your child?

We'll think of a plan.

We have to bring her here!

I tried to think of a plan, too.

But we don't have enough manpower to attack buyeo or get her out.

We might get caught in our enemy's trap, and place the da-mul army in danger.

Forget buyeo.

The da-mul army, and the refugees are depending on us.

I can't let personal sentiments ruin my mission.

My father told me that I can't protect tens of thousands of people

if I can't protect the one person next to me.

He told me to protect my women.

He said that out of regret for not protecting lady yoo-hwa.

I can understand how awful your highness must feel.

But I disagree with commander hae mo-s...

Commander hae mo-su failed because he was too soft-hearted.

If you want to build a nation, you must be stern.

You will be responsible for tens of thousands of people.

Don't be swayed by personal sentiments.

Be firm.

General.

It's me, jae-sa.

Come in.

I found which path hwang-ryong takes to send tributes to han.

Get ready to go.

Yes.

Retreat!

Jae-sa, moo-gul, and muk-guh.

Lead the da-mul army and take the wagon to the hideout.

Yes.

Oh-yi, mari, and hyeop-Bo.

Come with me to check how the nearby tribes are doing.

Yes.

General!

That's a business troop.

If they're the han troop going to hyeon-to, we should raid them.

Even if they have bodyguards, we can take them on.

Let's find out who they are first.

They're the gyehru troop.

General.

That's lady so seo-no.

But I heard she was pregnant.

Don't you find it strange that she's leading a business journey?

I'll go and find out what's going on.

Don't.

Governor!

What's the matter?

We lost all the tributes from hwang-ryong to Chang'an.

What?!

Who's behind this?!

Ju-mong and the da-mul army.

- Wang so-mun! - Yes.

I have to go to buyeo immediately!

Make the preparations!

Yes, governor.

Your highness.

What's the matter?

The da-mul army plundered the tributes from hwang-ryong to Chang'an.

The da-mul army?

You mean ju-mong?

Yes.

The royal court wants to hold both governor Yang-jeong

and prince dae-so responsible.

This can be an opportunity for me to go back to buyeo.

Tae ma-Jin.

Yes?

I must meet Mr. Chin again.

Contact him.

Yes.

What brings you here without tidings?

Do you know that ju-mong stole the tributes from hwang-ryong to Chang'an?

He didn't stop there.

I received report

that he plundered two other business troops that trade with han.

When are you going to stop him?!

We can't let him do this to us anymore!

Once the royal court finds that out, they'll do something about it.

I, as well as buyeo, will be responsible.

We have to get ju-mong!

I wanted to discuss this matter with you as well.

Do you have a plan?

Yes.

What is it?

Remember how we used the refugees to get hae mo-su?

That's a great plan.

Your majesty.

Yang-jeong is here to talk to his royal highness and the prime minister.

Yang-jeong?

They're probably plotting to get ju-mong.

Did you ask for me?

Na-ru.

Select some talented soldiers and disguise them as joseon refugees.

Get ready to transport them to han.

Why do we need to do that for?

I'll explain later.

Just do it.

Yes.

He's disguising the soldiers as refugees?

What does he want?

Your majesty.

What's wrong?

Ju-mong is in danger.

He's in danger?

Tell me the details.

He's using the same trap that hae mo-su fell in.

The refugees that hae mo-su tried to save, were han soldiers.

Once jumong hears that the refugees will be sent to han, he'll try to save them.

He'll fall into the trap.

What should we do?

My lady.

Yes, your majesty.

We need to get ye soya out of her chamber and send her to ju-mong.

Mother.

Tell ju-mong not to worry about me.

Tell him to realize his great dream.

You should go now.

Your highness, we have to go.

Stand back.

Don't worry.

If ju-mong gets my letter, he won't fall into the trap.

Your majesty.

It's me, dae-so.

Come in.

What's the matter?

Bring him in.

Father.

Did you send him to help ju-mong again?

Just wait and see.

Ju-mong can't escape my trap anymore.

Once I get him, I'll chop his head off in front of your majesty and the lady.

General!

What's the matter?

Prince dae-so tracked down the remaining refugees to send to han as slaves.

When is that?

They already left buyeo.

How many refugees?

At least three hundred.

We're having a meeting.

Yes.

He's trying to send the remaining refugees to win trust from han.

We should first figure out the transport route and the size of the bodyguards.

We don't have much time to wait.

Let's just go, and then figure those out later.

Gather the da-mul army for an expedition.

Yes.

Is the da-mul army gone again?

Yes.

They left immediately

after hearing that the remaining refugees of buyeo were sent to han as slaves.

How long has it been since they left?

About a few hours.

Go and stop them!

What?

Why?

This is dae-so's trap.

If we don't stop them now, the da-mul army will be in danger.

Jumong is buyeo's enemy

buyeo's enemy...

Is not jumong

but han

if jumong doesn't return to buyeo palace

all of you shall die

lady yuhwa and ye soya...

Let them go

no way

o-yi and hyeop Bo

mari

go and rescue lady yuhwa and ye soya

if we capture jumong

it'll be a big boost to our strength

no matter what it takes, we mustn't let him enter buyeo

didn't you say jumong and soseono...

Have a close relationship?

I must get muduk out of the palace

help me think of a way

we're left with only one solution - that is to die
