Episode 23

The bandits will listen!

[Jincheng Fortress, Liaoxi]

The commander of the Zhao army orders you to surrender!

I should say hello to the commander.

Give me an arrow.

Governor!

My lord!

Commander!

We should stall until the yellow sand storm comes.

Do you want to stimulate him to attack?

Did you want to show off your archery skills?

It's a last resort to buy some time.

Commander!

How dare you shoot an arrow at the commander of the Zhao army?

Give us the order to attack.

No. You can't have siege warfare at night.

Hold your anger and wait.

They have the advantage in night time siege warfare.

What Hae Geon said is right.

There's no need to fall for their trick to make us attack.

Commander, you have to teach them a lesson.

We will attack at sunrise.

Yeogu's arrogant head will be hanging before lunch time.

Set up camp.

Set up camp!

Set up camp!

We have to feed the soldiers twice including breakfast.

Their hands will stiffen if they are hungry.

Their arrows will miss.

Divide it up in three for the South Gate, North Gate and East Gate.

Yes!

No, concentrate on the South Gate.

South Gate 7, North Gate 2, East Gate 1.

Do you think Zou Yingbo will attack the South Gate since it's the main gate?

We're lacking a lot.

The yellow sand storm has to come.

Do you really believe it will come?

It has to come for the sake of all of us.

There is no sign at all.

Not a speck of sand.

Dugo and the Danbeomhoe members are out there.

My friend, Bok Gugeom, is also out there.

So if the yellow sand storm doesn't come,

they will die?

If we are all to die here, then that's how it will be.

We can't avoid what the heavens have planned for us.

My eyes are not itchy at all.

I guess we can forget about the yellow sand.

Don't talk.

Let me just say one thing before I die.

When our boss didn't give Gaoping back to the prince,

I was embarrassed.

Don't think of dying.

Think of living and be quiet.

How about attacking all three gates at once?

We can't divide up our forces.

We should concentrate them to one gate.

Which is the weakest gate of Jincheng?

The main gate, the South Gate, is the most worn.

But, it's also where the most soldiers are.

Attack the South Gate.

Unit 1 will go up on ladders.

Unit 2 will use arrows and Unit 3 spears.

Fill Unit 1 with old and weak soldiers.

They're going to die anyway.

You should save the soldiers who can fight.

What the Baekje prince said is right.

Form the units.

We will obey your command.

You should get some sleep.

I can't sleep.

My heart is pounding and my blood is rushing.

Because of Prince Yeogu?

What it is like for a prince to have his eyes cut out,

do you know?

I dream about pulling out his eye.

When the sun rises,

I'm going to pull out both his eyes and crush them!

The winter drought is in Hanhae, not Liaoxi.

[ Hanhae: Gobi Desert ]

It snows frequently.

The yellow sand won't make it all the way here.

It was reckless to leave our lives to the prince.

I won't bet everything on Prince Yeogu.

If the yellow sand storm doesn't come,

I will cut off his head and surrender.

That is the only way to save our people and raise Buyeo again.

You are indeed... the boss.

Father, you are the greatest king I have ever known.

If you give the order, there will be wind in Hanhae.

Send us the yellow sand storm.

Help me, so I can achieve your great will.

No!

If the yellow sand storm doesn't come, your left hand could save you.

You might have to fight with two swords or two spears.

Yes... what you say is right, Hongran.

You're worried, aren't you?

Nothing is for sure in battle.

No victory or life can be guaranteed.

I will lend this to you for a while.

Promise you will return it if the both of us survive.

There is something you must promise me.

If the yellow sand storm doesn't come,

go out through the West Gate and flee.

My brother is here and the Danbeomhoe members are here.

The Buyeo people are here.

As long as you are here too, I won't flee.

I won't survive by myself and live my life in pain.

I'd rather die together.

You're a strong person.

We will live together or die together.

Promise me.

If we both live, you will return this.

I guess I have to since you're letting me borrow it.

Mother, help your son.

[ VIP Guest House - Yedu, Zhao ]

Give me the dagger.

Your Highness.

Now.

Are you praying?

It's late.You are not sleeping yet?

How can I sleep when you can't sleep?

I can't sleep.

Who are you offering blood to?

She is praying for Goguryeo's victory and for the safety of His Majesty.

May I join you?

You may.

King Chumo, it has been 380 years since you founded Goguryeo.

[ King Chumo: Jumong ]

Goguryeo is in danger because of the Xianbei people.

Please accept the queen's prayers and keep our king safe.

Soseono, I'm asking for your help.

Please look after your grandson, Yeogu.

[ Liaodong, Goguryeo ]

Also, look after the King of Goguryeo.

He is a poor soul.

Your Majesty, take off your armor and sleep in comfort.

I don't want a blanket.

My soldiers are freezing outside.

I can't use a blanket.

Just leave it.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty!

What is it?

Your Majesty, there's a message from Na Man and Ko Chisu.

The first two lines of defense have fallen.

Why aren't you defending your post? Why did you come here?

To stop you, Your Majesty.

Please go to Nampyeongyang quickly.

You are Goguryeo.

You're wrong.

Goguryeo's everything to me, but I'm not everything to Goguryeo.

Even if I die, Goguryeo must last forever.

How can I be afraid of dying for Goguryeo?

Your Majesty.

Then... I'll take the fourth line of defense.

Your Majesty, would you please stand behind me?

I won't allow that.

Your Majesty.

Muronghuang might kill me, but he won't leave Modikkol.

Annihilate the Xianbei people when the Zhao soldiers arrive

and protect Goguryeo.

Let's go. Prepare the horses!

Your Majesty!

[ South Gate, Jincheng Fortress, Liaoxi ]

Looks like they are going to attack.

The yellow sand storms comes when we don't want it to.

This happened because you complained about the drought.

Yes, you're not a Baekje or Buyeo person. You can flee.

I'm from Mahan.

Well... but running once was enough.

- I'm going to fight this time. - Aigoo...

Get the prince.

They're going to attack soon.

[ North Gate, Jincheng Fortress ]

Prince.

- Are they coming? - Yes.

Which gate?

Prince Yeosan has been glaring at the South Gate.

The yellow sand?

I would have told you if it was here.

In case if I survive...

well... which I highly doubt,

I'm never stepping on sand again.

If the heavens don't help, it means we have to do it ourselves.

I will fight with honor and be honorable when I see you.

Attack the South Gate.

Attack!

Wait.

Get ready!

Now! Shoot!

Don't let them up! Shoot!

Open the gate!

It's time to cut off Prince Yeogu's head and surrender.

The gate isn't made of paper. It's won't open that easily.

Just wait.

The soldiers outside are not the only death squad.

We have to stop them from opening the gate.

Stop them with your swords and spears.

If that doesn't work, we have to stop them with our corpses!

Keep shooting!

Boss, we can't wait any longer.

Neither the commander nor Payun are here.

It will be too late if you wait any longer.

You all...

If the heavens won't help, we have to fight ourselves.

Don't be cowards and fight to the end.

Hongran.

I will get her away.

It's yellow sand!

It's yellow sand!

It's yellow sand!

Carry out the plan. Hurry!

It's here.

Calm down and wait for the sign.

It's the yellow sand storm.

During this season?

We have no vision.

Have Unit 3 and 4 retreat 200 steps.

They won't be able to see anything.

- Have everyone retreat. - Yes!

Why is it so hard to get Yeogu's head?

Wait for the sign.

Pour more whale oil. Quickly!

Pour.

- Pour more. - Yes.

They are returning to their camp.

Send the signal to the squad.

Now that the yellow sand storm's here,

we will have to fight over the enemy flag.

That's not the most urgent matter right now.

Let's go.

Let's shake them up.

Now! Shoot!

Governor.

Boss.

Begin!

Commander!

What's going on?

A large army is attacking from behind.

There is no way. They are not many in number.

The rumors about gathering an army must be true.

Stay calm and kill them.

They can't see anything. They could kill each other.

You have to prevent that.

The enemy can't see either.

Let's open the gate and go.

We can't see. It's not time yet.

When is it time?

When the death squad dies?

Don't open the gate without my order.

- Yes, Prince. Don't open it. - Yes!

We can't tell who the enemy is and who isn't.

Kill everyone!

Tell them to stop attacking.

We have to wait until the storm passes.

[ Hanseong Palace, Baekje ]

I regained position of crown prince thanks to you.

I won't forget this.

People are different when they are desperate, but they change.

We will see how you change.

Godo.

We will see how you deal with the situation regarding Goguryeo.

The border won't be moved to Surihul.

Let's go to Namdang. There is something I have to give you.

The only thing you can do for me is to order me to take my life.

How can you say that?

What about your wife and what about me?

Why do you keep acting like it's the end of the world?

Please stop it now, hyungnim.

Do you think I'm whining?

I'm not as strong or wise as you and not as bold as Yeomun.

But I'm not acting rashly.

I have done you much wrong.

I didn't hold you when you were born.

I didn't teach you how to shoot an arrow or use a spear.

I'm sure you didn't care because he was not Hae Sosul's son.

I was too busy thinking of getting my throne back.

I didn't have time to look after you because I was so mad at Biryu.

You have to live the life I lived from now on.

Be disappointed with me and hate Yeochan.

Grind your teeth and regain your position.

Father.

Rage strengthens a man.

Don't rely on me and use that strength to get up on your own.

You can die any time.

I will remember what you said.

Attack!

Open the gate!

- Open the gate! - Yes!

I'm going too.

Don't get in the way and stay here.

That way, I can keep my promise.

Be sure to come back alive.

Stop!

Stop!

The bandits came out of the fortress. Stop them!

Stop them!

Yeogu, you!

Let go! I'm going to pull out his eyes.

Not today.

We're losing.

Let's retreat.

I have an order from the emperor.

You want me to retreat without a fight?

Ogi!

Be sure to raise Buyeo again.

We should leave.

The governor?

He's the Governor of Zhao, not Baekje.

We only get involved to kill Prince Yeogu,

not to recover the two fortresses.

Let's go.

Prince Yeomin will step forward.

Eoraha appoints Prince Yeomin as Wiryegong.

He didn't achieve any merits, he can't be appointed.

Please reconsider, Eoraha.

The members of Namdang should be qualified.

You should be settling the border issue with Goguryeo,

not designating a crown prince or appointing other titles.

The sons of the previous Eoraha and Prince Yeomun.

It will be too much.

The former jwapyeong's right, Eoraha.

About what?

I'm the great-great-grandson of King Goi and the oldest son of Eoraha.

It's natural that I lead Wiryegung.

Why can't I be appointed Wiryegong?

He's right.

Eoraha.

How dare you oppose me?

If you oppose another one of my orders,

be prepared to lose your life.

Prince Yeohwi will step forward.

Since you disobey my order to go to Moroseong,

you will no longer be a general and be the previous Eoraha's grave keeper.

I would be pleased to obey that command.

The previous Eoraha discussed many matters with me,

the Wiryegung ruler.

The crown prince will discuss matters with Wiryegung to support me.

I will obey your command.

This means Bu Yeojun isn't going to let you be crown prince without a fight.

It was expected.

Taeja, Yeomin is irresolute, but he is very smart and prudent.

He's a difficult enemy.

Being beaten by Yeogu was enough.

Yeomin is no match for me.

The enemy soldiers are running away!

Hongran.

Let's go. We have to get the injured soldiers.

Stop faking and hang in there.

I'm not faking.

Stop moving like that.

You're alright.

I'm dying.

Ogi!

Boss.

Are you alright?

- I'm alright. - That's good.

Get the soldiers back on their feet.

We'll attack the Zhao soldiers.

They're retreating.

You want to attack and cause more sacrifices?

Not a single soldier must return alive.

The soldiers are exhausted.

Everyone in Liaoxi knows me as 'Red Ax' and fears me,

but I never killed an enemy who was running away.

There's no need to stimulate Zhao by meaninglessly killing soldiers.

A snake that isn't dead is more dangerous.

It must be killed from head to toe.

That's the only way to stop Shihu from sending soldiers again.

[ Shihu: 3rd Emperor of Zhao ]

- He's right. Go after the enemy! - Yes!

Boss.

We are not going after the soldiers, but the commander's flag.

We just have to achieve our goal.

Commander, we have been annihilated.

Those bandits.

We have been waiting for you. We will escort you.

Hae Geon.

- Go left to lure them. - Yes.

Let's go.

You can't take it.

We signaled the fire late, I have to take this.

Give it up.

The flag belongs to our prince.

Boss!

This person, Bok Gugeom!

Why are you such a coward?

Why do you keep breaking your promise?

You call yourself a man?

What are you doing?

Get the flag.

Boss!

I already told you raising Buyeo's more important than a promise.

You still don't get it?

Dugo!

I'm sorry, but he is going to have to die here.

Are you going to ruin boss's great will?

I know raising Buyeo's more important than a promise.

But how can you, a brother who swore with blood to fight together?

Dugo!

If you're going to kill him, cut off my head with your ax first.

[ Liaodong, Goguryeo - border between Goguryeo and Yan ]

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Are they close?

Your Majesty, please go to Nampyeongyangseong.

Don't start again.

Muronghuang has turned around.

The Zhao soldiers must be here.

They must be attacking.

That's right.

Your Majesty.

My queen... my queen helped the Chief Minister and did it.

She saved Goguryeo and me.

How did it go?

I'm curious what you are really worried about.

Let me talk to the Chief Minister first.

Your Highness.

Governor Zou was defeated.

Is that true?

General Eu Mahul said so.

Is Yeogu alright?

Yes, Your Highness.

You have to leave Yedu now.

I'm so nervous.

Gugeom will bring the flag, right?

Of course.

Open the gate!

Gugeom!

This way.

Gugeom!

Open your eyes. Gugeom!

See if there's a doctor. Hurry.

I know a little about reading pulse. Let me take a look.

I have the enemy commander's flag.

The two fortresses belong to me and the people of Buyeo.

You must give up Jincheng and serve me.

Did you shoot Gugeom?

Why would I?

Did you try to kill Gugeom to get the flag?

Who shot you?

I'm Ajikai.

Do you know me?

He has King Ye's seal.

This a fake. Someone sent a fake message.

It's Hae Geon.

Your Highness, you can't go.

Dandan, the Yeohwa of Wiryegung that you knew is dead.

Your Majesty, please forgive me.
