Episode 24.

Are we ready for the war?

Yes, your majesty!

There's something we need to do before the war.

Prime minister.

Yes, your majesty.

The enemy must not know that our army is going to the front.

General of the left.

Yes?

We now know where the han spies are hidden.

Arrest them before we go to war.

I understand.

- Arrest them and confiscate everything they have! - Yes.

Tie them up!

How are the provisions going to be provided?

The ordinance troop is right behind the headquarters.

The war supplies will be sent later.

We already sent ordinances to buyeo via the canal.

Good.

We sent steel swords and armors made by buyeo iron smiths to buyeo.

They won't have enough for everyone, but the advanced guard will be armed.

The outcome of this war is dependent on our mobility.

We'll be in trouble

if the ordinance troop does not arrive in time for the headquarters.

I'll keep that in mind.

Daesain, I want you to prepare the guards who will escort the ordinance troop.

Yes, your majesty.

Even the troops in support must be on guard at all times as if they're fighting on the forefront.

Yo-dong

there's a big chance that the enemy will lie in ambush here.

I'd like general wang to go and attack the western frontier garrisons of buyeo.

What if goguryeo attacks us from the rear while we attack buyeo?

Don't worry.

Our spies told us that the goguryeo army won't leave until next month.

In the meantime, we can attack buyeo and confuse them.

That's a great strategy.

I will join goguryeo and conquer yo-dong.

Your majesty, are you really going to join goguryeo?

I've been cooperating with the han for the benefit of buyeo,

but the han is now our enemy.

I'm going to avenge the late king's death.

But allying with goguryeo will leave a dent in buyeo's pride.

Remember, we're dealing with ju-mong.

I can ally with anyone if I can to beat the han.

I'd like prince young-po to assist me as the general of the left in this war.

Yes, your majesty.

Your majesty, the han launched a surprise attack and took over our western frontier garrisons.

The han army will attack buyeo.

Then I don't think buyeo should attack yo-dong with the goguryeo army.

No, the goguryeo army will march to yo-dong in the meantime

and secure spots of strategic importance.

Don't be swayed by their attempt to confuse us.

March to this point.

Your majesty, we should come up with a plan if the han attacks buyeo.

It only takes five days to travel from the western frontier to the buyeo palace.

We must hurry.

Don't cause a commotion. Listen to me.

We already expected the han to attack us.

I already devised a plan with king ju-mong.

Just do as I say.

Chief general!

Yes, your majesty.

Get ready to leave immediately.

Your servant, heuk-chi, is at your service.

Your majesty, his majesty is leaving for the expedition.

You should go outside and say goodbye.

He has sided with ju-mong to go to war with the han.

How can I wish his majesty luck when my heart is still filled with woe?

Think of how his majesty feels about having to ally with ju-mong.

You'll get a chance to take revenge later.

You should go outside for now.

Mother, I'll be back.

King, please stay safe.

Young-po, assist his majesty well.

Don't worry, mother.

I know how upset you must be because we're fighting against the han.

But this is the only way for buyeo to survive.

Come back safely.

Goguryeo headquarters.

Your majesty, king dae-so and the buyeo army are here.

Like you said, the han army attacked the western frontier Garrison.

The han army probably does not know that our allied troops are already in yo-dong.

In the meantime, our combined forces will attack go-hyun.

Go-hyun is a point of strategic importance.

If we take over go-hyun, it'll be a huge blow to the enemy.

Although we have to engage in siege warfare,

there are less than 1,000 han soldiers in go-hyun.

We can minimize our loss and take them over.

The buyeo army is probably tired from the long march.

The goguryeo army will attack go-hyun.

No, I'll stand on the forefront.

As you wish.

How have you been?

Long time no see.

It's an honor to see again.

Let's go inside.

I heard that general wang's troops have invaded the buyeo border.

That's the governor's strategy to derange the goguryeo army.

Goguryeo and buyeo have combined their forces, but I'll delude them.

That's a great strategy!

Let's drink.

My lord, we're trouble!

What happened?

Go-hyun is now under the enemy's hands.

The enemy? What enemy?

The combined forces of goguryeo and buyeo!

What?

What happened?

I thought you said goguryeo won't attack yo-dong for at least a month.

That wretch, ju-mong!

We didn't hear anything from our spies in goguryeo.

I think goguryeo fooled us with wrong news and eliminated the spies.

Go-hyun lord, find out what happened to go-hyun.

Yes.

Any news regarding the reinforcements?

No.

Send them another letter.

Tell them that Chang'an will be in danger if we lose yo-dong.

I understand.

General Jin, take the soldiers and station them on the front so that the enemy can't progress any further.

I understand.

Your majesty, the enemy placed soldiers on the yo-dong plain.

Summon the buyeo army for a meeting.

Yes, your majesty!

All we have left is an all-out war.

The han will frantically try to guard yo-dong.

It'll be a tough fight.

The enemy is discouraged from losing go-hyun,

but they still have more soldiers than our combined forces.

With the additional reinforcements from Chang'an,

they'll be too many for us to handle.

We must take over yo-dong before their reinforcements get here.

We must confuse the enemy.

I think we should divide our allied forces and attack in three groups.

The prime minister is right.

I will attack the enemy from the middle with sotan and smoke bombs.

I'd like the buyeo army to take the right side and chief general oh-yi to eliminate the confused enemy.

Yes, your majesty!

Yo-dong plains.

Attack!

Attack!

Governor, this looks bad.

Retreat!

Retreat!

Stop right there!

Stop right there!

Stop!

Ja-kyung hwang!

Forgive me...

You wretch!

Surrender!

Shut up, you wretch!

Why don't you surrender instead?

Ja-kyung hwang!

General of the left!

Mu-gol!

Mu-gol!

Brother...

Your majesty...

I was going to offer ja-kyung hwang's head to you, but I couldn't.

Forgive me.

Brother... thank you.

Thank you for everything.

Please fight on my behalf.

I'm sorry, brother...

Wake up, mu-gol!

You're not going to die!

Mu-gol!

Mu-gol!

Mu-gol!

Mu-gol!

Mu-gol!

General of the left!

General of the left!

General of the left!

Yo-dong army headquarters.

Welcome.

We're sorry for being late.

No, we're all set now.

Now that the reinforcements are here, we'll be able to beat the enemy.

Reform the battle lines and get ready for a total war.

Yes.

Goguryeo army headquarters.

Goguryeo...

You're bold.

I'm proud of you.

Next.

Yo-dong plains

attack!

Attack!

Governor, we're at a disadvantage here.

We have nowhere else to go!

Your majesty!

It's the yo-dong governor!

I will avenge mu-gol's death!

No, I'll kill ja-kyung hwang!

Governor!

Governor!

Retreat!

Retreat!

Block the enemy's path!

Let no one make it out of here alive!

Yes, your majesty!

Hurray for goguryeo!

Hurray!

Hurray for buyeo!

Hurray!

Today's victory was possible because goguryeo and buyeo joined together.

We couldn't have done it without your brilliant strategy.

In order to make sure the officers and the soldiers' sacrifices are not in vain,

goguryeo and buyeo will share the benefits of the victory.

Thank you.

Today's victory will help buyeo overcome our enduring national crisis.

We will hold a feast to celebrate today's victory.

Prepare enough food and wine for everyone.

Congratulations.

Brother, you saved my life.

Thank you.

You already saved my life a long time ago.

Let's go and congratulate his majesty on today's victory.

Congratulations on your victory.

Congratulations.

I'm proud to see the two of you fight on the forefront as future leaders of goguryeo.

Well done.

Celebrate this victory with the soldiers who fought alongside you.

- Yes, your majesty. - Yes, your majesty.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Your majesty...

I've never been moved as I was by today's victory,

but I only won this war with king ju-mong's help.

No.

Like ju-mong said, today's victory was possible because buyeo joined them.

But I can't help feeling that I lost to king ju-mong.

Your majesty, the despair you're feeling right now will help buyeo grow.

This is only the beginning of your reign.

Like you said, this is only the beginning of my fight with king ju-mong.

Your majesty.

Are you okay?

No.

I'll bring the royal physician.

I'm fine. Don't worry.

Your majesty.

My lady, you did well.

You finally fulfilled your mission.

Congratulations.

This is all thanks to you.

Your determination brought today's victory.

I've been with you for a long time.

You were the first man I had ever loved.

After we were reunited, I admired you as a king who unified jol-bon and established goguryeo.

And now, I respect you for your determination in fulfilling your dream.

My lady.

The people of goguryeo are waiting for you.

You should go back soon, and share this glory with them.

Hurray for his majesty the king!

Hurray for her majesty the queen!

Your majesty, congratulations on your victory.

Congratulations, your majesty.

Congratulations, your majesty.

Your majesty, even your bones are infected right now.

You should rest and get treated.

Very well.

Don't tell anyone about my condition.

Yes.

What do you mean, you're leaving goguryeo?

I will lead the jol-bon people to the south and find a new home.

But we finally laid the foundation for goguryeo's prosperity after beating the han.

I know that leading the jol-bon people south isn't easy.

That's why I need your help.

Please persuade the jol-bon aristocrats.

No!

We've been living in jol-bon for generations.

Why do we have to leave?

Is it because of lady ye soya and prince Yuri?

Do you think his majesty wants to kick you out?

No.

Then why do you want to leave?

If his majesty tries to kick you out, we jol-bon aristocrats, will protect you.

We will raise an army and...

Daesain!

You know that he's only saying that out of frustration.

I decided to do this for biryu and onjo's future.

I don't understand.

If you care for the princes, you should find a way

to make a goguryeo king out of them for oo-tae's sake.

I don't want my kids to fight for the crown.

The south is vast with nice climates.

It's a great place to build a new nation.

I want biryu and onjo to establish a new nation

according to their talents and ideas.

I took a guess when I saw you send them to the south on a trade mission.

I know how hard it is to accept my decision.

But this is the only way we can protect biryu and onjo.

It's hard to leave the land I worked on for my entire life,

but I respect your decision and judgment.

I heard you were looking for us.

I have something to tell you.

I am soon going to leave goguryeo.

Leave goguryeo?

Where are you going?

Are you going to the south where we've been?

Yes.

His majesty established goguryeo with his determination and tolerance.

I want you to learn from him and fulfill your dreams and build a new nation.

It'll be a rough journey to start everything new.

But I know you can do it.

Mother, I will do as you say.

Mother, I will follow you.

You may leave now.

We've gained hundreds of li of territory after driving the yo-dong army out.

The citizens are ready to move into our new territory.

Your majesty, the queen is waiting for you.

Your majesty, his majesty is here.

I was outside looking over the new territory we've gained after beating the han.

The goguryeo people will now move to that vast land.

Let me pour you a drink.

Is there anything bothering you?

No.

Your majesty.

Go on.

It dawned on me that we've come a long way.

When you were a prince of buyeo and I was the troop manager,

you told me that you liked me.

I thought you were a pathetic fool who feigned as a prince.

At that time, I didn't have a reason to hide my true feelings.

Now that I think about it, it was probably the happiest moment of my life.

I have some painful memories of how our fate crossed each other,

but that was the happiest moment in my life, as well.

Your majesty.

I'm just happy that I'm still in your heart.

But I'm going to leave you in my heart and leave goguryeo.

What do you mean, you're going to leave goguryeo?

I've been serving you and goguryeo until now.

From now on, I want to live for biryu and onjo.

I want to help biryu and onjo establish a new nation.

Biryu, onjo and I will take the jol-bon people and go south.

My lady.

Please send me.

I can't.

My lady, change your mind.

You will soon agonize between prince Yuri, biryu and onjo.

I want to protect both you and my children.

My lady...

Daesain!

Daesain!

Is the queen really going to leave goguryeo and move south?!

Yes.

She's not making any sense.

We have to stop her!

We have to do anything we can to stop her!

Her majesty is very determined.

Daesain.

If her majesty leaves, does that mean you have to go with her?

Yes.

Even if I leave, it won't be over for us.

I will remember you for the rest of my life.

Daesain...

What did you just say?

Is lady so seo-no really going to leave goguryeo and move south?

His majesty and all the officers are asking her to stay,

but she refuses to change her mind.

It's cold outside.

Are you sure you can move around like this?

I heard that you're trying to leave goguryeo.

Is it true?

Yes.

Don't go.

If Yuri and I are a burden to you, I'll leave.

I'm not leaving because of you and prince Yuri.

I heard that you came to goguryeo a long time ago to meet his majesty,

but left for the unity of goguryeo when you saw my wedding.

It pains me to think that you've lived in suffering for many years because of me.

I can now leave in peace because you're by his majesty's side.

Please stand by his majesty.

I'm an ambitious person.

I'm leaving to fulfill my unsatisfied dreams.

Don't feel sad.

Your majesty, you have to stop her majesty.

She has stayed by your side for many years.

You can't let her majesty leave.

I agree with you.

Deputy prime minister.

Yes, your majesty.

If she's leaving because of any possible disruption in goguryeo,

I will take appropriate measures.

As a prince of buyeo, I experienced strife among the princes.

That won't happen in goguryeo.

Please trust me and persuade the queen.

I will not change my mind.

My lady.

Please don't think that I'm abandoning your majesty and goguryeo.

I'm trying to establish a new nation

with biryu and onjo to expand the old joseon's territory.

I'm going south to realize a new mission.

Please let me go.

This is king dae-so of buyeo, reporting to the gods.

I now announce that buyeo will inherit the accomplishments of our late king

and be born again as a new nation for the people.

Please look after us so that we can overcome our crisis

and grow to be a strong nation.

I reported to the gods that this is a new beginning for buyeo.

We will now reestablish our laws and order.

We will build a strong army to become a strong nation

that will domineer over goguryeo and the han.

General of the guards.

Yes, your majesty.

Go and bring the arms master to me.

Yes.

Your majesty, the arms master is here.

I heard that you were looking for me.

Arms master.

Yes, your majesty.

When I lived aimlessly as a prince of buyeo, no one trusted me except for you.

Now that I think about it,

it wasn't your steel swords that kept me safe in battlefields.

It was your unswerving faith in me.

You're the one who trusted me and waited for me.

If it wasn't for you,

I couldn't have unlocked the secret to make steel swords.

I also couldn't have made iron armors either.

Arms master.

Yes?

I know how unswerving your loyalty is.

That's why I have to ask you for a difficult favor.

Please say it.

I'm sure you know that the queen won't change her mind.

I want to respect her decision and help her establish a new nation.

Please go south with her.

I know how hard it is to leave your home,

but the queen's new nation will be in desperate need of your talent.

I'd like you to assist the queen in making farming tools

and lay the foundation for her upcoming nation.

I can't leave your majesty.

I want to serve you even after my death.

Arms master.

I would feel much more at ease if you would assist the queen by her side.

Arms master, please protect the queen.

If that's your majesty's wish, I will do as you say.

I will serve the queen wholeheartedly.

Arms master...

Thank you.

Your majesty...

Thank you...

These are top elite soldiers from the goguryeo army.

They will protect you, biryu and onjo.

Your majesty.

Your majesty.

Father.

Arms master.

Yes, your majesty.

Your majesty, I will go with you.

I can't let you do that.

I know what the arms master means to you.

I can't take him with me.

He has wanted to make farming tools instead of weapons for a long time.

Take him with you to make farming tools.

Build the prosperous and strong nation you wish for.

Your majesty...

Listen goguryeo soldiers who continue on the old joseon's glory and the da-mul army's spirit!

Our war of conquest is not over yet. It will continue for tens of thousands of years.

Our guardian, the three-legged bird, will now spread its mighty wings.

I will march onward with my great goguryeo soldiers

towards the heart of the han until the day I die.

Attack!

After moving south with so seo-no and the jol-bon natives,

biryu settled in michuhol and onjo in wiryesung.

After onjo unified the jol-bon people, he established baekje.

So seo-no was a key figure in establishing baekje.

Dae-so and ju-mong's bad relationship lasted a long time.

Dae-so was killed by ju-mong's grandson, king tae mu-sin.

East buyeo perished after dae-so's death.

After so seo-no advanced to the south,

king ju-mong laid a strong foundation for goguryeo

and died after leaving the throne to Yuri.

At the time, ju-mong was 40 years old.
