Episode 70.

I will let ye soya and Yuri live if...

One, you don't go to war with hyeon-to.

Two, jol-bon is strong enough to take over buyeo.

After you take over buyeo, hand it to me.

If you promise me those two things, I'll give ye soya and Yuri back to you.

We can't take that offer.

This is our chance to drive the hyeon-to army out and build a new nation.

But we can't turn our backs on lady ye soya and Yuri.

Building a nation is important, but we can't expect him to abandon his family.

I don't want to do anything immoral for the sake of our mission.

I'm not very happy about this either.

Stop it, you two.

I don't know if prince young-po is telling us the truth that ye soya and Yuri is alive.

Maybe he's playing with our minds.

Stop making assumptions.

We haven't found their bodies.

They may be alive.

But even if they are alive, prince young-po is asking for too much.

General...

Even the heavens and the joseon refugees don't want you

to abandon your morals to build a new nation.

If lady ye soya and Yuri are still alive, you must bring them back.

You should accept prince young-po's offer and check if they're alive.

Did you make up your mind?

I don't like trading ye soya and Yuri's life to get what I want, but I have no choice.

If you don't help me, I won't be the one who kills ye soya and Yuri.

It'll be you.

Shut up!

Mari!

You and dae-so plotted together to kill my father commander hae mo-s...

And now, you are making an irrational demand with ye soya and Yuri's life.

It may sound irrational to you, but it sounds reasonable to me!

Just tell me if you want to accept my offer or not.

I... will accept your offer.

But I need to know for sure that ye soya and Yuri are still alive.

Very well.

Where are lady ye soya and Yuri?

They're in hyeon-to.

Would you like to go and see?

We don't know what you and han will do to the general.

I'll go instead.

But you can't leave jol-bon until I'm back.

You mean you want to hold the prince as a hostage?

The minister of the right is risking his life to go to hyeon-to.

We can't promise you anything until we know that they're alive.

Very well.

I'll stay in jol-bon until you do.

Are you sure about this?

I have what they want.

They can't do anything to me.

But...

Although I'm trying to take over buyeo with ju-mong's help,

I eventually want jol-bon too.

I can spy on both jol-bon and ju-mong while I'm here.

Don't worry about me.

Go to hyeon-to and show them that they're alive.

Yes.

They might plot something. Be careful.

Yes.

This contains a poisoned needle.

Use this if you're in danger.

Mari.

Are you sure you'll be safe without any bodyguards?

Don't worry.

Minister of the left.

He may not show it, but the general is under a lot of stress.

Take good care of him.

I will.

What happened?

We looked all over hyeon-to, but couldn't find her.

You pathetic fools!

You can't even find a woman who ran away with her son?!

Forgive me.

We have a few good-looking girls in our new batch of slaves.

I'll select some for you...

Shut up!

If you can't find geum, you will pay.

Go and get her!

Yes.

Yuri! Yuri!

Is anyone there?

Is there no one?

Is anyone there?

Your majesty, we must help han even though we're broke.

If ju-mong drives the hyeon-to army out,

our authority as the successor to the old joseon will be threatened.

This is a huge threat to our identity.

We must stop ju-mong before he builds a new nation.

Do you still believe that buyeo is the successor to the old joseon?

Your majesty!

You can't lie forever.

The only way for buyeo to survive is

to strengthen ourselves instead of helping han.

But we can't stand idle...

We need jol-bon and han to fight.

I want han to fight in buyeo's place.

Yoo-hwa's ghost is still with his majesty.

What should we do?

She's probably upset with buyeo and his majesty.

No wonder buyeo is having trouble.

I even offered sacrifice for lady yoo-hwa's ghost, but his majesty has not changed.

Ju-mong is going to enter a war with hyeon-to.

He has a good chance of winning hyeon-to.

Won't he go after buyeo afterwards?

He needs to be free from yoo-hwa's ghost for dae-so's future.

Your majesty! This is the court minister!

Come in.

Your majesty, we're in trouble!

What's the matter?

Our spy in jol-bon reported that prince young-po is in jol-bon right now!

But he's supposed to be in hyeon-to!

What is he doing in jol-bon?

I wouldn't be worried if I knew why!

Considering the relationship between buyeo and jol-bon,

prince young-po doesn't have any business in jol-bon!

You never know what prince young-po will do.

What if he plots treason?

Does dae-so know this?

Yes.

He's furious that prince young-po is in jol-bon!

The two brothers will be antagonistic again.

Jeong-go.

Yes, your majesty.

Tell dae-so that I'd like to talk to him.

Yes.

Why do you think young-po is in jol-bon?

He's been losing influence in buyeo.

Maybe he's asking ju-mong for help.

Are you saying that he's plotting treason?

Why else would he be in jol-bon?

Send a batch of elite troops to get young-po.

Yes, your royal highness!

Prime minister.

Yes?

His majesty is in no condition to govern right now, so the decision is up to me.

We will send 500 reinforcements to hyeon-to.

General heuk-chi and I will lead them.

I'm glad we're sending reinforcements, but you don't have to lead them yourself.

That's right.

This will be a tough war for hyeon-to.

I hope you don't get hurt.

Thank you for your consideration,

but I have to go because of the hyeon-to governor.

I will act wisely, since I will be the future leader of buyeo.

Don't worry.

General heuk-chi.

Yes?

Select only the elite men to send as reinforcements.

Remember, protecting prince dae-so is more important than fighting jol-bon.

Yes.

General, this is jae-sa.

Come in.

What's the matter?

I know you've been losing sleep for the past few days.

I know how distressed you are, but you must cheer up.

This medicine will make you calm.

Drink it.

General.

Don't worry about me.

I know that you're hurting inside.

I once wanted to get the refugees together

and build a nation myself before I met you.

But I never imagined how tough it is to be a leader.

I'm excited to serve you as my lord, but I'm sad that I can't share your burden.

Minister of the left.

Yes?

My officer's loyalty is what helps me withstand all trials.

Oh-yi and mu-gol have risked their lives to disguise as refugees.

You and the other officers are loyally by my side.

How can I falter?

I don't think my parents and the refugees are really dead.

Their souls will live thousands of years with our goguryeo.

If I falter now, their souls will forever wander.

Once I find out that ye soya and Yuri are alive,

I will do everything I can to save them.

You must make sure that we're ready for a war with hyeon-to.

Yes.

- Did you find anything out? - Yes.

I think the weapons are being produced day and night.

But the iron workshop is off-limits.

I don't know what they're making.

I should check it out myself.

Tell me where the iron workshop is.

What are you doing here?

I'm here to talk to you.

This place is off-limits.

Please leave.

Mo pal-mo.

I am no longer an enemy of jol-bon.

Do you know why I'm in jol-bon?

I do.

Then you must know that ju-mong and I are allies now.

I'll reward you after I take over buyeo.

Make me a steel sword, will you?

No, I'll make you a nice coffin instead.

What?

Why do you look so surprised?

Mo pal-mo also makes excellent coffins.

You'll need a coffin fast if lady ye soya and Yuri aren't alive.

I'll make one soon.

Why, I ought to...

Hyeon-to

wait here.

Bring them from the storehouse.

Well, you see...

What's the matter?

She ran away with her child.

What?

She begged for a doctor and said her child is sick.

By the time we came back, she was gone.

The men are out looking for her, but I don't think they'll find her.

What are you saying?

- Go and find them! Now! - Yes.

What happened?

You must be hungry.

I'll let you see them after you eat.

Are you kidding me?

There's been a problem.

Wait.

I need to know if lady ye soya is alive first.

You're in enemy territory.

You won't be safe if you don't do as I say.

You coward!

If you don't put your sword down, I'll have to force you.

Get him! Don't let him get away!

What are you doing?

You're not allowed to leave this place.

Is this how you say thanks in jol-bon?

I saved ju-mong's family when everyone thought they were dead.

Get away.

What are you teaching these people?

Any news from hyeon-to?

He's back.

Now do you believe me?

What's going on?

What's going on?

The minister of the right is back wounded after barely escaping death.

That can't be true!

Shut up!

How you say that after seeing this?!

I couldn't find lady ye soya.

He lied to us on purpose.

Something must've gone wrong!

That can't be true!

General.

What's the matter?

Prince young-po's warriors were caught spying on our military camp.

This is a map of our food storage and military camps.

What are you doing?

Ju-mong!

How can you use the dead for your scheme?!

Let's not waste any more time.

We must eliminate him immediately.

Chop his head off and send it to buyeo.

You should show king geum-wa what it feels to lose a family.

General ju-mong!

You're all dismissed.

General!

Leave!

General ju-mong...

Don't... say a word.

You plotted this because I was guilty about not protecting my wife and child.

Please don't kill me.

This is where our relationship ends.

If I see you again, I won't forgive you.

Go back.

Yuri...

Hyeon-to labor house

we'll be killed if they use us as a shield!

I'd rather start a rebellion right away and live!

You can't start a rebellion now!

The security is tight.

Fighting against han without any weapons is asking for death.

Are you telling us to die?

I'll think of what to do after I check how things are going.

Calm down and go to sleep.

Brother, there's no point in waiting.

Let's get out of here and talk to the general.

We'll be killed too if we stay here.

If we leave, what will the refugees do?

Brother.

If we run away without them, they'll die before they get a chance to resist.

That's not what the general wants.

Mu-gol.

We've risked our lives to infiltrate here.

We're staying with the refugees till the end.

Governor.

What's the matter?

Prince dae-so is here with reinforcements.

Really?

Welcome.

You've come.

Father.

Buyeo has decided to help hyeon-to.

The buyeo army is at the outskirts of hyeon-to.

I was worried because the reinforcement from yo-dong isn't here yet.

Now I can rest.

Your help means so much to me.

Let's go inside.

Did you just say, 500 men?

That's right.

How will that help me?

Are you mocking me?

You know the situation buyeo is in right now.

Yes, but you have 30,000 soldiers if you include the sachuldo army!

You should at least send 2,000 men for your ally.

His majesty is sick right now.

Even bringing 500 soldiers was tough.

We've only selected the top fighters.

They'll be of great help.

I will lose everything if I lose this war.

I will march to jol-bon and kill ju-mong.

That's what I want too.

I heard that ju-mong is getting mercenaries.

Jol-bon's biggest strength is their strong morale because of ju-mong.

The hyeon-to army is discouraged from several losses from jol-bon.

I have a plan to motivate them.

What is it?

Since we can't pay enough to the soldiers,

tell them that the soldiers will have a right

to loot jol-bon's food and women when they capture it.

If you can't expect them to be loyal, you must use their greed to motivate them.

The first corps to take over jol-bon can have priority in looting.

The governor can be punished

if he announces that without the emperor's permission.

If I lose this war, I'll be killed anyways.

Chang'an isn't helping me.

I must do anything to win.

Wang so-mun.

Yes?

Make an announcement right away.

Yes, governor.

Maybe something has happened to oh-yi and mu-gol.

Did you find anything out?

I went near the labor house, but couldn't see the refugees.

I'll infiltrate to hyeon-to and find what's going on.

- Donggwan officer! - Yes?

- Come with me. - Yes.

Hyeon-to downtown.

We can loot anything in jol-bon if we take over.

If you wipe jol-bon out, you can even have ten women.

Those who want to fight can join.

Hyeon-to labor house.

I don't think we can go any closer.

I think they're locked up.

Is he really going to place the refugees at the battle line?

Yes, the refugees are being locked up right now.

Even oh-yi and mu-gol's lives are in danger!

Yang-jeong announced that the soldiers are allowed to loot jol-bon.

More citizens are volunteering to fight for a chance to loot our riches and women.

Damn bastards!

I knew that Yang-jeong will do anything, but I never knew he'd be this dirty.

If the army is guarding the refugees, they can't revolt.

The refugees don't even have weapons.

General, we can't let oh-yi and mu-gol die like this!

We must do something!

I'll use the refugees in hyeon-to to shield our troops.

How many are they?

Over 500!

If I use the refugees, ju-mong won't be able to attack.

That's a brilliant strategy.

Using the refugees in hyeon-to will throw ju-mong off his guard.

When he hesitates, I will attack him with the buyeo reinforcements.

General.

I heard you were looking for us.

This war is about saving the refugees and confusing the enemy headquarters.

I will lead an advanced troop to save the refugees and attack the enemy from the rear.

No, that's too dangerous!

The minister of the left and I will lead the advanced troop.

You can lead the headquarters.

Bu beo-no and Bo wi-yeom can assist chief song-Yang and so seo-no to lead the headquarters.

General!

Like you said, my mission is to realize the dream of tens of thousands of people.

If anyone needs to risk his life to attack the enemy headquarters, that should be me.

I stand by my decision.

Minister of the left and right should get ready for the war.

Hey! Come over here.

Father...

I am now going to war to realize your dream of uniting the joseon refugees to build a strong nation.

I broke the promise I made about protecting the important person next to me.

But I will protect the refugees who are suffering under han's oppression.

Dear gods of heaven and earth.

I am now going to take my first step towards goguryeo.

Please look after the soldiers of jol-bon.

Governor.

What is it?

Jol-bon soliders are heading to hyeon-to.

In between jol-bon and hyeon-to, there are three different roads to travel.

All three roads are connected by the chunhyup valley that must be passed through to reach hyeon-to.

Chunhyup valley is very dangerous and can be difficult to pass through.

We need to block jol-bon's army at the valley.

Let's put our army at this point, and bring in the refugees to act as bodies to block their way.

Yes.

But, we don't know what ju-mong's plan will be.

Instead of putting our army at that point, why not block all three of the roads?

All the roads to hyeon-to are blocked.

How many soldiers are there?

10 times than what we expected.

We will cross sumak mountain and enter hyeon-to.

We can get to hyeon-to that way, but sumak mountain is very dangerous and not suitable for people to cross.

It is impossible to get to hyeon-to by crossing the mountain.

The only way to avoid the han army is to take this way to hyeon-to.

We need to enter hyeon-to as soon as possible.

Hyeon-to labor house

- get them out! - Yes.

We must seize their weapons on our way to the headquarters.

I'll signal when to take action.

Got it.

- Cuff them, in case they're up to something! - Yes.

Mt. Sumak.

Brother.

It's all or nothing.

Let's just do it!

It's a surprise attack!

Brother!

- Oh-yi! - Brother!

Untie me!

General!

Are you okay?

Yes!

This is general ju-mong!

General is here to save you!

Hurray for general ju-mong!

Hurray! Hurray!

You escaped death, but we're still confined in the enemy's ground.

I want you to guard your own lives and join me in building a new nation.

I will confuse the enemy and launch a surprise attack before they attack.

Will you join me?!

Yes!

Hyeon-to.

Hyeon-to camp.

The enemy camped before they passed the chunhyup valley.

We have men lying in ambush everywhere.

They won't attack anytime soon.

When will the refugees get here?

In two days.

When they do, we will attack them first with the refugees on the battle line.

I'd like prince dae-so to take the buyeo reinforcements and go behind the enemy.

I understand.

Governor, we have trouble!

What's the matter?

The jol-bon advanced troop infiltrated into hyeon-to and took the refugees!

How did the jol-bon army infiltrate into hyeon-to?!

I don't know.

Hyeon-to is powerless at their surprise attacks!

They even looted the weapons!

Chief, the minister of the right is here.

Did you succeed?

Yes, the refugees are safe.

The general is leading the refugees to confuse hyeon-to.

The general will attack the evacuating troops to confuse them and secure the home front.

We should attack with full force when the enemy evacuates.

Check the enemy headquarters and dispose the troops.

Yes.

In the past

my biggest wish was...

To repel the han army

my wish...

Is now being fulfilled by jumong

I heard that hyeon to...

Has already fallen to cholbon

jumong's letter has arrived

do we know her'?

Of course

we are luring jumong to the ambush

we have to send reinforcement right away...

To support prince daeso

the war is starting from this moment

attack.

I will lure the enemy to chunhyup valley
