Episode 2

Anyi City

Thank you, General Duanmu.

Thank you, soldiers.

Help the people up.

The human race has been enslaved as coolies

since Anyi was invaded.

They suffered.

The demons

were oppressed by novels.

They suffered too.

Demon King is a tyrant.

He has ordered

the commoners to kneel to the nobles.

Otherwise, their hands and legs will be broken.

When demon commoners see us,

they are afraid of us.

They are innocent.

You are demons?

Please rest assured.

When humans occupied this place,

demons and humans often had business dealings.

We are friends with humans in Anyi City.

When Demon King occupied Anyi,

he killed and drove out humans in the city.

To protect us,

they were imprisoned

and became slaves like us.

They are demons, but they are kind.

They never did anything wrong.

Please let them go.

All men are created equal.

Whether it's human or demon,

everyone is treated fairly.

As long as we're here,

you can roam freely in Anyi City.

There'll be no class and race.

From now on,

you can hold your heads high

and walk freely.

Thank you, General.

I didn't expect

Demon Clan to live like this.

Demon King believes

only the strong can live.

For him, ordinary people are ants

that can be killed at will.

In the land of Demon,

who can enjoy an easy life?

A good king is loved,

a tyrant has nothing.

Demon King is a tyrant.

He won't last.

My son.

Didn't you promise me

to protect Anyi?

Didn't you want to prove yourself?

Go.

Take Anyi back.

This time,

I'll believe you.

Your Majesty.

His Highness is dead.

Take care of yourself.

Shut up.

He isn't dead.

Without my order,

he can't die.

Your Majesty.

This is His Highness' favourite item.

He had always treasured it.

Please let it accompany him.

This is...

A weapon to kill

but you dare not use it.

Why should you keep it then?

Wei Long.

Father.

This is yours now.

Thank you, father.

I gave this to him nonchalantly.

Yet he treasured it to this day.

You are his father.

He would treasure

any gifts from you.

This is your love for your son

and your son's affection for you.

Love for my son.

All these years,

I only valued Tai Ao.

Giving you this dagger

was to motivate him.

I now understand.

In fact,

you had always wanted to prove yourself

as my most worthy son to be proud of.

I was too obsessed.

I never trusted you.

I even thought

you wanted to replace me.

My son.

I...

I...

It's my fault.

I am

very sorry.

My condolences, Your Majesty.

My condolences, Your Majesty.

All of you.

You are useless.

Your general is dead.

Why are you still alive?

You didn't protect him.

You should all be dead.

Your Majesty.

I can avenge his death.

You?

I have a long-lost twin sister.

I can feel she is with the human.

I can use our relationship and

disguise as human.

I'll find a chance to kill their commander.

You should know how powerful the Heart Devouring Curse is.

If you fail,

I'll make sure you suffer badly.

Noted.

Prime Minister.

Please follow me to the city.

Great.

Sister.

General.

Congratulations on seizing Anyi City.

Based on my estimation,

you should be arriving now.

What's wrong?

You don't look good.

Nothing.

I feel dizzy after so long

in the carriage.

Come out for some fresh air.

You can ride with me.

Ruo Nan.

Did you see it?

We have captured Anyi City.

When we capture Chong City,

we can end the war

and go home.

Look at them.

They are happy.

Go back first.

I have things to discuss with Duanmu.

Duanmu.

Let's talk.

I am tired.

We can talk

tomorrow.

Is it about Lu Ji?

She isn't used to the carriage.

I rode with her on horseback.

Don't misunderstand.

Nothing to do with her.

I am really tired.

I don't want to talk

about trivial matters.

I'll make it short.

You did well in

the battle of Anyi.

I am relieved to see

your progress.

Why don't we pursue it further

and attack Chong City soon?

You can talk to godfather

about attacking Chong City.

I hope we can merge our camps

before the attack,

to enable subsequent training and command.

I'll ask the Prime Minister today

to hold our marriage ceremony soon.

So that our camps can merge.

I don't agree.

Duanmu.

Are you still angry at me because of

Ruo Nan?

It happened a long time ago.

So, in your heart,

this is only a small matter?

I shouldn't get angry?

I am sad because I am immature?

I am a troublemaker?

Gu Chang.

The problem between us

is related to Ruo Nan.

But it's not only that.

Duanmu.

You're a girl.

It's normal to be emotional.

You are so much better

than other girls.

I can give you time to think.

But the merger is imminent.

After we've merged,

you needn't worry about military affairs.

I won't merge

and I won't marry you.

Don't be too much, Duanmu.

I have been tolerating it.

Duanmu Brigade lost a lot of soldiers.

But the victory in Anyi

is enough to prove our ability.

We can work alone.

If we are to attack Chong City,

we can win.

I don't accept the merger.

Duanmu.

Don't be too much.

You are the one overdoing it.

Our general doesn't report to you.

Please be respectful.

Did you know

you're only a lieutenant?

You have no place here.

That's right.

I am a lieutenant.

But a lieutenant in Duanmu Brigade.

I take orders from her.

Whether or not I could speak,

General Duanmu will decide.

That's right.

Zhan Yan belongs to me.

I didn't ask him to shut up.

How could you shut him up?

Duanmu.

We are talking about us.

He's an outsider.

Outsider?

General Gu Chang.

You spoke about merging the camps.

It involves our brigade.

I am a lieutenant of the brigade.

I'm not an outsider.

And

if we talk about relationship,

General Gu Chang,

you're the outsider.

Zhan Yan.

I'm warning you.

Don't interrupt my discussion.

Duanmu.

The merger...

About that,

Duanmu Brigade doesn't agree to it.

Our soldiers are few.

But with our formation,

we can defeat enemies of ten folds more.

You think that the merger

is beneficial for training and command.

But I don't think so.

Troops are valued for quality.

My formation is more suitable for female soldiers.

If you insist to train both camps together,

I'm afraid you'll only achieve half the result.

Duanmu is my fiancée.

After we're married,

Gu Chang Camp and Duanmu Brigade are one family.

This

is something

you can never change.

Gu Chang.

I won't merge with you.

I won't marry you.

I don't want Duanmu Brigade

to become your chess piece.

I don't want them

to suffer like Ruo Nan.

Why can't

you let go of this matter?

Can you stop being childish?

General Gu Chang.

Duanmu values her people.

Every warrior is her sibling.

She is not childish like you say.

I think

she is responsible.

Because she sees everyone as her family,

we are willing to follow her no matter what.

Because of this,

Duanmu Brigade has a strong affiliation.

We can win although outnumbered

and gain victory.

Zhan Yan.

He won't understand.

Don't waste your energy talking.

Let's go.

You are injured?

Nothing to do with you.

Duanmu.

Is he influencing you?

You weren't like this.

Gu Chang.

I have done nothing wrong.

My decision isn't

influenced by anyone.

Even without Zhan Yan,

I won't marry you.

I've long doubted

our marriage fixed by the elders.

Now that Ruo Nan is dead,

I strongly believe

we don't belong together.

If we merge our camps,

it won't benefit Duanmu Brigade.

Duanmu Brigade

will become your chess piece.

No matter what,

I won't marry you.

From now on,

you should drop that thought.

Zhan Yan.

Let's go.

Fallen leaves return to roots.

I hope the dead comrades could go home

and rest in peace.

Is this your custom in Qifeng?

Could you pay for me?

I passed by a shop in Anyi

and saw this.

For you.

I always like dolls since I was a kid.

You always like dolls.

How did you know?

I guessed.

But the doll

looks sad.

The dead are gone.

The living should move forward.

This is the best assurance

for the dead.

If you can't let it go,

those who want you to be happy

will feel sad.

The person you want to protect

likes dolls too?

Yes.

I envy her.

I envy her

not because people around her

stay loyal to her.

But because there is nothing to hold her back.

She can live according to her will.

You can too.

No.

Zhan Yan.

You must understand.

I'm General Duanmu.

The person you know,

she puts you in front of

everything else.

And in my heart,

they are of utmost importance.

They are the soldiers in Duanmu Brigade,

whether dead or alive.

Sometimes,

I even forget

I am Duanmu Cui.

I'm not the person you know.

I can't be her.

If you have met her,

you won't be so sure

you can bring her back from the Abyss.

Duanmu Cui has no recollection of you.

She only remembers her brigade.

It's impossible

to bring her back from the Abyss.

Do you understand?

No matter what,

whether in the past or future,

she's still the person I love.

This is not about love.

She doesn't know you.

Duanmu Cui from the Abyss

doesn't know you.

You misunderstood me.

I know you are General Duanmu.

I know

I'm talking to General Duanmu

who roams the battlefield.

I don't want you to be the person I mentioned.

I feel sorry for you

watching you lost your people from Duanmu Brigade.

I hate myself

for not arriving earlier

to save their lives.

When I see your tent brightly lit up through the night,

I know you are worried

and losing sleep.

But I can't be with you in your tent

to share your worries.

Zhan Yan.

All of this is true?

I will never lie to you,

Duanmu Cui.

I know it's tough.

What you can't let go

I'll carry it with you.

You are never alone.

You don't have to

force yourself to do anything.

I'll be with you.

Waiting for you.

Does it hurt?

I'm fine.

Wengu.

How's Gu Chang?

Gu Chang is brave.

I'm not asking this.

I want to know...

He and I...

He's not suitable for you.

Who do you think

suits me?

General.

I...

General.

Lieutenant Zhan sent this.

Take a look.

Let me see.

What did he say?

Why don't you ask him?

It's fine.

General.

I was chatting with the others from the brigade.

They notice that

you aren't happy when you're with

General Gu Chang.

Nonsense.

General.

We'll show them.

We won't let you down.

Don't sacrifice your happiness.

Yes, General.

Whatever you do,

we'll support you.

You'll never walk alone.

Yes, General.

Rest assured.

With Lieutenant Zhan,

we will win the battle.

Yes, General.

Yes, General.

Yes, General.

You have us.

We'll support you.

Yes.

Yes.

Go now.

Go.

We'll support you.

I'll check the headcount with Mr Yue.

I'll help you.

No need.

I have a crutch.

You take some rest.

Prime Minister.

Our numbers are dwindling each day.

We don't know

who will be the next

to die.

I never wanted to go to war.

But for the human race,

I have to.

I always tell myself,

dead or alive

awaits me.

Godfather.

Duanmu.

How are you?

Is your leg better?

Better.

I have good medicine.

I'll send it over.

And

if you have anything,

get Mi to inform me.

I'll go to your camp.

You hurt your leg.

You shouldn't walk around.

Thank you.

Please don't worry.

My leg is almost healed.

I won't need

the crutch soon.

My leg can heal.

But they can never come back.

They are like my children.

I feel heartbroken

when any one of them dies.

Duanmu.

I know you're always strong.

So, I hope you can marry Gu Chang

very soon.

Get on with the merger,

you don't have to carry all the burden

alone.

Godfather.

I can do it.

Prime Minister.

I'll discuss with General Gu Chang

statistics regarding the war.

I'll leave you alone.

Duanmu.

There are only you and me now.

Tell me the truth.

What's your opinion

about the merger?

I'm against the marriage

and the merger.

Why?

Duanmu.

You don't have enough soldiers.

After the merger,

on the battlefield,

you don't have to charge into battle every time.

Soldiers from Gu Chang Camp

will protect all of you.

Furthermore,

although Gu Chang is not romantic,

he's an honest and

responsible man.

If you marry him,

he'll take good care of you.

Godfather.

This time,

I'm not talking about benefits.

I want to follow my heart.

Do you know

sticking to your opinion

will bring along hardship?

You'll face difficulties.

I know.

Please rest assured.

I don't have that many soldiers.

But you have seen it in the Anyi battle.

Zhan Yan's formation

enabled us to win.

Soldiers of the Duanmu Brigade

could protect the human

even without the help of others.

Without marriage,

we can shoulder the future of humans.

Behind me,

there are Duanmu Brigade,

Mi, Wengu,

and Zhan Yan.

Have you decided?

Yes.

Great.

I understand.

Get well soon.

Stop.

Who are you?

One of our own.

It's you.

I've seen you once outside the tent.

You sent the register.

Mr Yue.

I've checked and sorted out

the dead and injured.

Please take a look.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

I shall leave now.

Map of military provision was leaked.

Which means there's a spy.

There are so many recruits,

new faces.

We must verify all personnel.

If not, I'm worried.

Yes.

Good.

You are always careful.

We have been busy with the battle of Anyi.

We didn't have time.

I'll get Yang Jian to check all recruits.

I can't wait any longer.

If they get to the bottom,

they'll find my identity soon.

Jiang Yi is indecisive.

The merger is not implemented.

It's going to be

my stumbling block.

I can't let the Abyss change again.

Plus the death last time,

the total is...

1576 soldiers.

You remember well.

Gu Chang Camp will handle their funerals

and take care of their families.

Good job.

Thank you, General.

It's nothing for me.

The hard work

goes to them.

This wine...

I'll take it.

You have good taste.

This is a good wine.

The name is good.

It's called

Forgetting Sorrow.

General.

You're drunk.

I'm not drunk.

Drink some water.

Are you sad

due to the argument with General Duanmu?

Sad?

I've been in battles for years.

My heart is as hard as stone.

People like me

won't feel sad.

General Duanmu was emotional.

When she comes around,

she'll understand.

All these years

you've lost a lot of friends.

I know

you feel sad too.

Self-pity offers no help.

To run and hide

from the enemy

is an irresponsible act to those who sacrificed.

Everyone can feel sad.

But not me.

I can't allow myself to be weak.

The dead don't need my tears.

They need revenge.

I must kill all the demons

so that my brothers can rest in peace.

Why do you hate

the Demon Clan so much?

Demons are greedy and cunning.

Keeping them

will create trouble in the future.

I'll drive Demon Clan

out from human's territory.

No matter what it takes.

Even risking my life.

General.

Lu Ji.

It's getting late.

Go back and rest.

Let me accompany you.

Lu Ji.

Go back and rest.

General.

I've been in the camp for years.

You've never touched me.

To the outsiders,

I am one of your concubines.

But that's fake.

Do you hate me because of

my ugly scar?

If it is so,

I'll remove the scar with this knife.

Lu Ji.

To save me,

the demons injured

my little sister's arm.

If she's still alive,

she should be your age.

Demon Clan invaded my tribe.

My parents

were killed by demons.

When my sister died,

she was only 13 years old.

Sister?

All these years,

I treated you as my sister.

I took you to the camp

so that you have a place to live.

You became my concubine

because I had no choice.

I never wanted you to be a true wife.

It's getting late.

Go back.

I see.

I am sorry.

Godfather.

You don't have to send me back.

You injured your leg.

I feel safer if I send you back.

All right, go in.

Prime Minister.

It's late.

Here to see Duanmu?

You've been in the camp for long.

We never had a good talk.

If you have time,

could you spare me some time?

All right.

When Duanmu first went to the battlefield with me,

she was only a little girl.

I watched her grew

from a girl who's afraid of blood

to a general who killed countless enemies.

She has worked hard all these years.

I hope

she can find a suitable man.

I thought

Gu Chang is the most suitable man.

But Duanmu told me today she's breaking off the engagement.

What's your opinion

about this matter?

If she's breaking off,

I fully support her.

The rumour in the camp is true?

You are the culprit behind this?

Prime Minister.

Duanmu breaks off

not because of me.

I believe General Duanmu breaks off

because she knows

General Gu Chang doesn't suit her.

I know

you're like a father to her.

I know General Gu Chang is a brave soldier.

But he's not the one

General Duanmu likes.

Forcing her is to hurt her.

What about you?

Prime Minister.

I don't understand.

What do you think of Duanmu?

She is tough and brave.

She's the most unique and

outstanding girl I've seen.

But I'm aware of my status.

I won't go overboard.

I won't let her

do what she doesn't want to do.

I'll do everything I could

to fulfil her wish.

Whatever her decision is,

I'll support her.

You are indeed better than I imagined.

With you by her side,

I can rest assured.

Take care of Duanmu.

Zhan Yan.

Is this the new formation?

It's a Ring Formation.

Six people form a small ring.

Small rings can join into a big ring.

Everyone

can train in small teams.

Teams work closely together.

It's more flexible on the battlefield.

It has unlimited changes.

Excellent.

General Yang.

Brother Yang.

What are you doing?

General Yang.

Is there a misunderstanding?

No, there isn't.

Just that I don't like you.

Tell me,

what did you tell my godfather yesterday?

He has agreed

to call off the engagement of Duanmu and Gu Chang.

Brother Yang.

Does godfather agree

to the break-off?

Godfather said

Duanmu Brigade doesn't need a merger.

He has called off your marriage engagement to Gu Chang.

Great.

Great?

You seem happy.

Have you heard the rumour?

They said

you are blinded by him.

You ignore the battle

for your own romance.

Brother Yang.

Don't believe the rumour.

General Yang.

You don't have to care about them.

When Duanmu Brigade wins the battle,

they'll know

fighting depends on skills

and not a merger.

You haven't told me

what you told my godfather.

He agrees

to call off the engagement.

You must have done a lot.

Brother Yang.

Zhan Yan did this

for my benefit and the brigade.

If godfather believes

I can win the battle without the merger,

don't you look down on me.

I am warning you.

Don't you dare have any other thoughts.

Otherwise, I will beat you up.

Mr Yue.

You seem happy today.

What's the good news?

Wen Qing.

Slowly.

Take a sip.

Slowly.

Wen Qing.

Since the first day

Zhan Yan arrived,

I felt he's the perfect match

for Duanmu Cui.

Prime Minister

has called off the marriage engagement of

Gu Chang and Duanmu Cui.

Zhan Yan will soon

marry Duanmu Cui.

Mr Yue.

I don't know

if I should tell you.

If they have an engagement since young,

how could they simply call it off?

Men should uphold

their integrity.

Getting married

requires both parties to have mutual feelings.

The engagement was arranged by their parents.

They didn't know it.

Now they are grown-ups.

If they can't get along well,

it's going to be tough.

Prime Minister.

Tonight

you are off-duty.

I have important matters.

Nobody

gets close within 100 metres to my tent.

Without the guards,

your safety...

This is the camp of the human.

Don't worry.

Patrol the outer ring.

Don't disturb me.

Yes.

Obliteration in the Abyss has started.

Time is running out.

I won't allow the apotheosis to change.

You are indecisive.

So, don't blame me.

Prime Minister.

Mr Yue asked me to send

the recruits' register for your checking.

Give it to me.

All right.

Go back first.

What's the matter?

Anything else?

There's a recruit called Jiang Wen Qing on the register.

Information about him is incomplete.

He's from Mr Yue's camp.

Do you know who this person is?

That's it.

Call Mr Yue.

That person

is me.
