This can`t be real.

All of these people can`t really be dead! Your Majesty.... father.....

Your Majesty!

Joyoung!

Joyoung! Joyoung!

We have to get out of here! We must go, Joyoung!

-Joyoung! -Your Majesty!

-We`re going to be killed out here! We have to go! -Let`s go, Joyoung!

Come on!

We will all be killed!

Let`s go, Joyoung!

Let`s go!

Quickly! Move it!

We`re closing down Tsui Sing Lau!

Anyone caught in or near this place will get hurt so be warned!

Let`s hustle!

-General Dae is waiting for you. -Where is he?

Follow me.

General Dae.

General Dae...

I`m so glad you`re alive!

Auhong!

Is this everyone?

I`m afraid so. Everyone else has been captured.

If only His Majesty didn`t step in!

Innocent people have been sacrificed, but His Majesty stopped the execution

of General Dae Jungsang and the league members.

Is there anything you know about what happend to them?

There is no way for us to find out what is happening inside the protectorate.

We have to save them somewhow. We can`t give up like this.

It would be a big risk to attempt a rescue with what we have right now.

-All of us will be captured as well if we act in haste. -But we don`t have any time!

Xue Rengui has seen the powerful wrath of the people. He will think twice before attempting to execute them again.

Give me a little time and I will think of a better way.

Your Majesty, why?

You have to stay alive and lead the resistance movement.

Why did you give yourself up to save us?

The heart of the resistance movement is the people not I.

And you and Dae Joyoung must lead the people in the fight.

I couldn`t let you die to save my own life.

Your Majesty....!

I`m sorry.... I failed to get you out of here,

but I saw the spirit of our people!

Your Majesty.....

I may be locked up in a cell, but my people are out there with Dae Joyoung, Mimosa Fulsabiwu and Hwuk Sudol.

They are the hope and wrath of Goguryeo.

Your Majesty...!

-Oh, dear... -Please stop, general.

You`ll get yourself drunk.

I can`t believe what happened.

Mild mannered King Bojang turned into a ferocious tiger before my very eyes!

General...

And what about the people?

I thought they were ignorant and naive, but public outrage erupted like a violent volcano!

I have never been so afraid of anything in my life.

Afraid? You, general?

I`ll get rid of those prisoners right now so the public can`t rise up again.

That`s out of the question.

Killing King Bojang would only provoke the public even futher.

What happened to Dae Joyoung and those that got away?

We will go after them once we have regrouped.

How did this happen?

-When the Emperor finds out about this..... -This isn`t so bad, general.

You`ve exposed and captured the Dongmyoungchun League`s backer.

in terms of achievements, this is even better than capturing Dae Joyoung.

-Oh? -Yes, general.

Li Wen may have done some impressive things, but they don`t come close to the capture of King Bojang.

I will take King Bojang to Chang`an myself.

-You personally? -Yes, general.

I will go before the Emperor myself, and report our achievements in detail.

These prisoners will soon be taken to Chang`an. I can`t have them getting sick or dying on the road so feed them properly.

-And do not torture them from now on. -Yes, sir!

You`re taking us to Tang?

That`s right.

Kill us now!

-I will die in my country on my soil! -Silence!

Not one of you are free to die until I, Li Wen, present you before the Emperor

Each one of you are my trophies of war.

General Li Wen,

-What is your business in the jail house? -I was checking out the prisoners that I`ll be taking.

Prisoners that you will be taking? What do you mean?

General Li is taking King Bojang back to Chang`an.

At whose permission?

King Bojang was capture by General Xue Rengui and the Khitans.

If King Bojang is taken to Tang, it will be the khitans that take him.

What are you talking about?

He would have never been captured if it weren`t for my men!

Know your place and stay out of this!

Cocky bastards....

-Where is General Xue Rengui? -He`s in his quarters.

Let`s go.

Chulin!

There`s nothing I can do to help you.

What? Li Wen?

-Li Wen is trying to take King Bojang? -Yes, general.

You`re going to have to step in, general.

What do you mean exactly?

Li Wen won`t be able to stop you if you take the prisoners back yourself. Li Jinzhong: Khitan triable leader)

To Tang?

You want me to go back to Tang?

Andong Protectorate has taken a huge hit by the last incident. There`s nothing left here to keep you .

But who will do my job?

Hand it over to Yeon Namseng.

-Yeon Namseng? -Yes, general.

Public rage has reached its peak here in Liaodong. You will only face problems trying to bring it under control.

If the meat is too hot to put in your mouth, it would be wise to give it away.

Hand over Andong Protectorate to Yeon Namseng?

General, it`s not a bad idea.

Make a triumphal return to Chang`an and present the prisoners to the Emperor.

Naturally, you will be given full credit for eraticating the Dongmyoungchun League.

It`ll be a victorious return home,general.

Hand over Andong Protectorate to Namseng and return to Tang....

A victorious return...

Xue Rengui is taking the prisoners to Tang himself?

Yes, sir.

That`s the rumor in the city.

-Then what will happen to Andong Protectorate? -My guess is Xue Rengui will name

Yeon namseng as his successor.

Yeon Namseng?

That blasted bastard will have Andong Protectorate after all.

They`re going to take the prisoners. What do we do?

General! General!

General, people are rallying at the protectorate compound.

Why?

-Why are the people rallying at the protectorate? -They learnd that His Majesty will be sent to Tang.

-You mean they are rallying to stop the extradition? -Yes.

We are hiding here helpless, and the pepleo have come foward ance again.

Give us back our King! Give us back our King!

Give us back our King! Give us back our King!

What the heck is this?

They have rallied to stop King Bojangs extradition.

-Please don`t take our King! -If you take him to Tang,

he will be killed! Please release him!

-Release our King! Release our King! Release our King!

If they don`t cleare out by tomorrow morning, kill them. All of them!

Yes, sir!

What?

-People have gathered outside the protectorate? -Yes, Your Majesty.

-The people are rallying together to save you. -General Dae Joyoung may be able to save us

-using the public sentiment. -That`s out of the question!

Your Majesty, the will of the people is the will of the god. Why do you say no?

Countless innocent people have already died at the execution. If a civil unrest is insited to save us, Liaodong Fort will be wiped out.

We cannot allow anymore people to die for us.

Your Majesty is right.

The defenseless people`s barehanded uprising will only result in a atrocious massacre.

I`m sure General Dae know this as well. He will not sacrifice the people to save us.

But if the public doesn`t back down, they will use violence.

Yes,

They are certain to use violence against my people...

But we are helpless in here.

There is nothing we can do for the people....

What are we to do?

We can`t allow anymore innocent lives to be taken. What are we to do?

Your Majesty...

-Where are you going in such a hurry? -We`re going back to Tang.

-Does General Xue know about this? -I`m not in the mood to say goodbye.

But you should let him know that your leaving at the very least.

You`ll tell him for me.

I will see him in Chang`an.

Don`t think that you can acquire Yingzhou prefecture. Even if the Emperor grants you Yingzhou have that land id mine.

Try what you will Yingzhou is ours.

Oh? Let`s see who wins.

If you think you can defeat me, you`re welcome to try.

Oh dear...

-General. it`s Li Kaigu. -Come in.

Did the people clear out?

No, sir.

In fact, the crowd is getting larger as the word spreads.

Oh dear....

Li Wen has returned to Tang. He is certain to plot some kind of trick to take credit for our feat.

There is no time.

We must disband the demonstration immediately and take King Bojang back to Tang right away.

But they won`t obeymy order to disband. This means we have to disband them by force.

We don`t have any other choice at this point.

If they were an enemy army. I would wipe them out myself,

but these are defenseless civilians.

How am I supposed to order them killed?

Angry civilians are more dangerous than an enemy army, sir.

You`ve seen for yourself several times already.

You must quickly make a decision, or Andong Protectorate could fall into danger as well

Joyoung!!

The crowd is growing larger by the hour.

Some thing must be done

They will call out soldiers to disband the demonstration by force.

There is no chance they are going to disband on their own by tonight.

I will stop this somehow, I have to stop the people from being slaughtered.

-But you will be captured if you are seen. -So are we to let all those people die?

Darn!

-We are darn if we do and darned if we don`t. -Think of something, Mimosa!

Guard,

I must speak to General Xue Rengui at once. Tell him that I`m requesting a privet chat.

and he will not refuse.

Please clear the room.

-Leave us. -General,

It`s alright. Leave us.

The people of Liaodong Fort are gathered outside this compound.

They`re ignoting my prder to slear out, so I`ve been contemplating what to do

I will be direct.

Please don`t hurt my people.

Your people? Your people...?

Yes, my people.

As the King of Goguryeo to the representing of Tang, I`m begging you.

Please don`t let there be another senseless massacre.

Killing helpless and unarmed civilians would be unjustified and cowardly,

-so... -The choice is not mine but theirs.

They will walk away to live their lives if thry disband by tomorrow morning,

but if they don`t, all of them will die!

Give me a chance.

Give me a chance to talk to the people.

I promise you I will send them back to their homes, so please geand me my last request.

You`ve proven your ability.

I have seen the awesome power of the former King of Goguryeo with my own eyes.

Letting you talk to your people would be tantamount to give the enemy an army.

I give you my word of honor, I only wish to prevent a massacre.

I will not incite them in any way.

General Xue,

There has only been one man in my life that ever brought me to my knees,

and that`s Emperor Taizon of Tang.

He was the only true hero fit to rule the world in my book.

But I met a great man that rivals my hero.

You are that man, King Bojang.

You endured the disgrace if being the king of a ruin state, and made the entire Andong Protectorate tremble in fear

with nothing but your passion and the sword of vengeance.

Just being in your presence makes my feel honor and inspired as if I were before the departed Emperor Taisong.

But...

I cannot grant your request...

....because we are still at war. Regreattably,

you are not my king to serve but my enemy, my prisoner.

It has truely been a pleasure knowing you.

-Guards! -Yes, sir!

Escort the king back to his cell with utmost courtesy and respect.

Yes, general. Men!

I must speak to him privately. Leave us for a moment.

-But i.... -It will only take a moment.

Let`s go.

I heard you were with Xue Rengui and I wanted to speak to you, Your Majesty.

I have one question.

Why didn`t you tell them about me?

You betrayed the Dongmyoungchun League regardless of your reason. Why didn`t you turn me in as well?

Because you, Your Majesty,

are the last hope in restoring the country.

Think what you will about me.

I won`t make excuses about why I betrayed the league either.

But I must save the people that are gathered outside this compound. Tell me what to do.

This is why I stooped you.

I know this is a difficult task, but we can`t let those innocent civilians die.

Please tell me what I must do. Show me the way.

If I showed you the way, will you follow that path?

Yes, Your Majesty.

How do I save the people?

No one has the answer to that question.

Only, you have my order and a mission to save them by any means neccessary.

Order and mission....

Stop them even if it cost you your life.

If you save those people.

I will forgive you for all of you errors.

Your Majesty,

Remember.

This is the final command of your King.

Guards, we`re done here.

Release our King!!!!!

Something`s not right. They`re too quiet.

This is your last chance!

Disband at once, or soldiers will be called upon!

This is your last warning!

Disband at once!

Return to your homes now or risk being killed!

We can`t let you take the King of Goguryeo to Tang!

Give us back our King!

Release our king!

Release our King! Release our King!

-We have no choice but to use force. -They brought this on themselves.

Disband the protest by force! Show no mercy to thise who resist!

-Is that understood? -Yes, sir!

Stop! Stop!

Get out of the way!

What`s that blasted fool up to?

I am Yeon Gaesomun`s son Yeon Namseng!

-That`s the bastard that caused our country to fall! -Traitor!

-You have the audacity to show yourself top us? -Kill him!

Kill the bastard that sold out his country!

Kill him! Kill him!

What the heck! General!

Give it a moment.

I, Yeon Namseng,

have betrayed my country,

defied my father`s wish,

and betrayed the trust of those who kept faith in me.

If anyone should die here today,

it is not you

but this worthless soul before you.

But I have one last ardent request.

I beg you to please go bacl home.

Don`t waste your precious lives on a defeated cause.

His Majesty the King doesn`t want his people to die in vain!

So kill me instead.

If my death can quell your rage and comfort your hearts.

I willl die a hundred times over,

So please save your precious lives. Please.....

Go on, Strike me.

Kill me now and go home. Please.....

Let us go, general.

-We averted an atrocity thanks to Yeon Namseng. -I`m so relieved.

-Yeon Namseng really came through for us. -Heaven is watching over us.

But we still have a huge problem.

They will soon take His Majesty, my father and the other prisoners to Tang.

And all hope of daving them will be lost once they leave the country.

There is no way to save them here in Liaodong with the resorces we have.

Then are we to let them be taken to Tang?

It`s a long way to travel from here to Chang`an.

Rescue them on the road to Tang?

Yes, general.

They will stop in Yingzhou and stay there at least a few days.

Then there is Shanhai pass to the Great Wall.

Yes, Shanhai Pass!

It`s not a short distance from Yingzhou to Shanhai Pass.

It will take at least a month to reach Shanhai Pass from here.

One month....

Seize an opportunity during that time?

That`a more than ample time.

Yes, let`s do it, Joyoung!

We will take the prisoners and leave for Yingzhou tomorrow.

Starting tomorrow, you, Lord Yeon Namseng, are the new leader of Andong Protectorate.

We couldn`t capture Dae Joyoung, but we succeeded in destroying the Dongmyoungchun League thanks to you.

I`m turning over this protectorate to you as promise, so govern it well.

-It`s good to see promise being kept. -A man is only as good as his word.

If a man makes a promise, he should deliver. Right, general?

All right. All right.

I`ll make certain you get Yingzhou as soon as I return to Tang. Don`t worry.

We will never forget you favor, General.

My favor?It is my duty. So are we ready for the long trip?

Yes, general.

We will leave the city at first light with a large entourage of armed guards.

It bothers me that Dae Joyoung is still at large.

We`ve taken precautionary meassures just in case he shows up.

You don`t need to worry.

Why aren`t you asleep, Your Majesty?

I came here with such great hopes and dreams.

But I am about to return to Tang without accomplishing anything.

I have been building castles in the air....

Your Majesty....

I am so angry

and disappointed that I can`t speak.

If I leave this land now,

only my soul will be able to return when I am dead.

It is painful anguish to have to leave before Great Goguryeo is revived.

Your Majesty....

You look so despondent.

I still can`t believe we failed our great mission...

We suffered a set back.

As long as we are alive, we haven`t failed.

But so many of our comrades have died.

As the leader of the Dongmyoungchun League, I can`t help but feel guilty and responsible.

It is not a crime to have survived.

But it will be a crime if you stop here and give up.

Yes, you`re right.

That`s why we must rescue His Majesty, my father and the other prisoners.

Once the extradition procession leaves tomorrow, we will have to follow right behind.

Yes...

I don`t know what kind of danger and advanture lies ahead of us....

What is the meaning of this?

This is the extradition procession destined for Tang! Clear the road!

Clear the road at once or there will be blood!

Your Majesty....! Your Majesty....!

Stop!

Stop the wailing now!

General, please let me out of this cage.

I must bid farewell to my people.

No, general!

We mustn`t let him out of the cage.

Please. I will never be back here again.

Let me have a moment with my people.

No!

It`s a trick, general.

General!

Open the cage.

But sir, he could incite a rebellion!

You heard me.... Open the cage!

Yes, sir!

-Good people of Goguryeo! -Yes, Your Majesty!

Whoever rules this land, serve him and survive!

Cast aside your pride and comply with their every request

if it means preserving your life!

Your lives must be preserved at any cost to the very end!

Your Majesty! Your Majesty!

Survive,

bear children and raise them on this soil.

Goguryeo may be gone but Goguryeoans must live on!

Your Majesty!

As long as you are here this is your home and this is your land!

Protect your homeland.

I leave you now, but a man with a great dream will appear before you

And when he does, unite and follow him.

Your children will rise up with passion, and great Goguryeo will live forever!

Your Majesty...! Your Majesty...!

Thank you.

Now please clear the way.

-Let`s go! -Foward march!
