General!

We just got the signal. The enemy is on the move.

I want you to stay behind the lines, Mother, I will handle the front.

Nonsense.

We`ve been put in charge of this mountain pass together. I will not stay behind the lines.

But...

Keep the troops on full alert.

They will attack tonight or tomorrow morning at the latest.

Yes, Mother.

Have you determined the enemy`s attack route?

They will attack in three groups as well.

Li Kaigu`s main force army is certain to attack the main camp.

Put commander`s flag flying higher. I want Li Kaigu`s to see that I am here.

They should already know that by now.

How about Gulsabiwu and the Khitan? Are they reafy?

They`re as ready as they will ever be.

All we can do now is to trust each other and hold our ground as best as we can.

General, the troops are awaiting your orders. What is keeping you?

There is a change of plans.

A change of plans, sir? ~Shing Hong~

I want General Zhao Renshi and Xue Jitou to take Dae Joyoung`s main army. ~Li Kaigu~

I will take the moutain pass behind their camp.

But sir, you will be up against Princess Chulin and the Khitan army.

Yes, I know.

I`m going to bring Chulin back.

General, she has already chosen Dae Joyoung. She is now your enemy. So pleas....

Chulin and I can never be enemies.

I must persuade her somehow and bring her back.

How could you say that afterwhat you went through with Geom?

Princess Chulin will not be different. She will never come with you. Infact, she will wield her sword and try to kill you.

You must follow the original plan and strike Dae Joyoung instead.

I cannot let Chulin die by a stranger`s sword.

If she won`t be convinced, I will kill her life myself.

That is my firm resolve, so do not fight me on this.

General!!

The Tang army is making its approach!

Let us move out!

But there`s something very odd, sir.

Odd? What`s odd?

Li Kaigu is not commanding this army. ~Tungso~

What do you mean Li Kaigu is not commanding this army? ~Mimosa~

As far as I can tell, it`s Zhao Renshi and Xue Jitou.

General!!

General, Li Kaigu is heading towards the moutain pass behind us.

But the Khitans are there!

If the Khitans fail to hold them back, it`s a matter of time before the entire Chunmunryeong falls into their hands.

Tactician Mimosa is right. You must send reinforcements at once.

Father, I will keep my faith in Chulin and Geom.

General, you must be rational about this.

My decision is base on reason and reason alone.

Geom may be trustworthy but Chulin is Li Kaigu`s wife. She could change her mind.

If she is not to be trusted, this is a defeated fight to begin with.

But general...

If it`s Zhao Renshi we`re dealing with, it`s just as well.

We will leave Li Kaigu to the Khitans, and avenge Heuk Sudol`s death.

Joyoung.

You will take your assigned positions. Prepare to move out immediately!

Yes, general!

You must stop him.Khitans cannot be trusted to fight Li Kaigu.

General Dae Joyoung is the commander of this army. I, too, must trust his judgment and follow his order.

-Anyone out there? -Sir!

Go to General Geumland and deliver my message.

Yes, sir!

General!

General, the Khitan soldiers are lined up along the ridgeline.

Move quickly.

High ground is ahead.

Advance foward!!!

Mother.

How many of them are there?

I asked you a question.

I don`t think you should be in this battle, mother.

What are you talking about?

I will take you. Retreat for now, and....

Why?

Geom?

Father is commanding the army.

I cannot watch the two of you fighting each other.

Please don`t fight me. ~Li Geom~

~Chulin~

Don`t make a move until they get close.

We will wait for them to fall into our traps, them we will engage.

Do not let them catch on.

Mother...

If we fail here, all of Khitans hopes will be trampled by the Tang army.

We`re not fighting for anyone else. We`re fighting our enemy for our selves.

So bear no remorse and do not hesitate. Is that clear?

Yes, Mother. We will hold the enemy back.

Any word from the other fronts?

They will blow the horn once the battle begins.

There`s dead silence as if no one is around.

It`s odd, Li Kaigu should have already arrived, but there is no signal.

It`s not too late. We should divide the troops and send them to...

The operation has already begun focus on the enemy ahead.

Yes, general.

Where is General Geumlan?

-She took a few of her men and went to the Khitan camp. -Whitout my authorization?

We will send for her at once, sir.

Never mind. Forget about Geumlan.

Listen up, men. ~Gulsabiwu~

For as long as we are protecting this path, no one enemy soldier will get through alive.

-Is that clear? Yes, general!

Your Highness, over there! It`s General Li Kaigu.

Stay calm. You must obey the command.

General, it`s Princes Chulin and Prince Geom.

The flags, the soldiers, they are all Khitans.

General...

General, permit me to approach them. I will persuade them to surrender.

Hoist the white flag.

Hoist the white flag.

The white flag!

Hoist the white flag!!

Over there, sir. It`s white flag!

General, Princess Chulin declares truce!

It could be a trick. We must be very careful.

It matters none whether it is a trick or not.

Soldiers, press foward without fear or favor!

What is that sound?

It`s a trap! We must retreat, general!

It`s the Tang army that destroyed our kingdom! Kill them!

-Which direction is the noise coming from? -It`s coming from the Khitan camp. The battle must have started.

This can`t be happening!

Chulin would never do this to me!

General, we must retreat! The whole moutain is rigged with traps!

I will not yield. Continue the battle!

Sir, we cannot continue like this!

We will fill the traps with dead bodies if that`s what it takes to get to them!

-No, genera! -Attack!

We could be oblitarated!

Put your sword down.

I didn`t come here to fight you. I came to take you back.

Silence!

I will not hear excuses of a traitor!

A traitor?

I did not betray you.

You betrayed Khitan and you betrayed your family.

You`re neither my husband nor Geom`s father anymore.

You`re nothing but a pawn for the Tang government!

Wife!

I will never forgive you.

I did everything I did for you!

You must believe me. I will resurrect Khitan.

There`s nothing you can say that will make me trust you again.

You must believe me if no one else will. You must believe me!

Mother!

Mother!

General, we`re in grave danger. We must retreat now.

Give us the order, general!

Retreat....

Fall back! Retreat!!

-General! -Retreat!

Let go of me!

Regroup.

-We will attack again immediately, -General, we should take our breaths first.

I just buried thousand of my men on that hill!

This is merely our first battle. We must keep a cool head.

General!

-You made it back alive. -What happened to your soldiers?

We got crushed by Gulsabiwu.

They`re turned the entire Chunmunryeong into an impregnable fortress.

What happened to General Zhao Renshi and Xue Jitou?

We`re almost there! Our camp is just beyond this valley!

Keep going men! Do not give up!

Dae Joyoung! It`s Dae Joyoung!

You`ve entered Chunmunryeong of your own free will but you`re not getting out of here alive.

Dae Joyoung, I`m not getting out of here until I kill you first! ~Zhao Renshi~

Zhao Renshi, is it true that you are the one who killed my brother Heuk Sudol?

Thanks for the recognition.

That`s right.

I took Heuk Sudol`s head for killing my subordinates Ma Renjie and Li Douzuo.

Now it`s your turn to die, Dae Joyoung!

If I can put an end to you miserable life I would gladly die here myself!

I, too, would never have peace if I let you walk out of here alive.

Well then, I`ll fight you on the honor of a Tang warrior.

I will offer your head to my brother Heuk Sudol`s sould.

-Attack! Wipe out the enemy! -Kill them! Fight to the death!

Mother, You`re up.

The battle?

It`s a sweeping victory. How do you feel?

I`m all right. ~Chulin~

Give me a detailed report on the other fronts.

General Dae Joyoung eliminated Zhao Renshi and nearly wiped out his men. ~li Geom~

That`s good news.

-How many men have we lost? -Not many.

Put the camp back in order and have the soldiers rest.

Yes, Your Highness. Let`s go.

Take good care of her.

Of course, Your Highness.

There is a meeting at the headquarters.

Then you should go.

Mother, I wish you would stay behind the front from now on.

This is so hard on you. You look tormented and distressed.

This is hard on everyone.

Go on. There is a lot to do before they strike again.

What`s in this box?

We had to move quickly, so all we could do bring back was his head.

You mean this is Zhao Renshi`s head?

Yes, sir.

We`ve been thoroughly outwitted by Dae Joyoung!

I`ve never suffered such a humiliating defeat!

Give General Zhao Renshi a proper burial.

Yes, sir.

We will never breach Chunmunryeong at this rate.

Dae Joyoung`s army is a lot stronger than we thought.

And our troops cannot perform to their capacity because they are on higher ground with traps all around them. ~Shin Hong~

They`ve got to have a weakness somewhere.... ~Li Kaigu~

The winter is approaching. ~Li Wen~

The longer we delay the more diffcult this battle will become.

Chief Commander, General Xue Rengui has arrived.

Welcome general.

Thank you for coming all this way for us.

We`re going to need to take care of him first.

He looks quite ill.

I don`t know what`s wrong with him, but he`s become useless. ~Xue Rengui~

Sir Shin,

Have a look at him for me.

Yes, sir. Take him into my tent.

Yes, sir.

I`m sorry to have to trouble you.... ~Hongpei~

I said don`t talk unless you have to.

I heard you suffered a crushing defeat.

I don`t know what to say, general.

If we fail to kill Dae Joyoung, both you and I will have nowhere to go in tis world.

I know, sir.

Chunmunryeong...

It`s a treacherous chain of mountains...

How are we going to capture the great tiger roaming in those deep mountains?

What? Xue Rengui?

Are you certain it is Xue Rengui who brought the military supplies?

According to the scouts there is no mistake, sir.

I can`t believe they sent aid all this way and delivered personally by Xue Rengui at that!

If they have ample provision to get through the winter, our advantage is lost. ~Dae Jungsang:Dae Joyoung`s father~

In fact the cold weather will do us more harm than to them. ~Gulsabiwu~

This is Emperor Wu Zetian determination to destroy us. ~Mimosa~

No one is more determined than we are.

Gulsabiwu and Geumlan, continue to defend your garrison with all you`ve got.

Got it.

Yes, sir.

The same goes for the Khitans.

Hold your ground firmly and do not let anyone penetrate the line.

We won`t, sir.

Master Jang, I`d like you to reset the traps and pitfalls with the civilian labor force.

-Time is of the essence. -I understand.

How many are injured?

Not many, but most of them are in serious condition.

Send them off to Mt.Dongmo if they can`t hold the sword again.

Yes, general. We will do so.

We`re dealing with an enemy force many times our size.

We cannot win unless we work together as a team.

Remember that each of us must do one hundred soldier`s worth.

Xue Rengui...

Xue Rengui is here....

-It`s a relief that the Khitans are doing their job. -I want you to stop giving Geumland orders I don`t know about.

-General! -Stay out of it.

You`re interfering with my work if you do so.

Leave Geumland alone until we get through this.

I gave Geumlan orders as General Dae Joyoung`s tactician.

If you can`t stop, take her and give me another warrior.

I must be faithful to my job.

If it made you that uncomfortable, I will restrain myself.

Thank you.

What are you waiting for? Follow him.

It`s not too late.

If Li Kaigu is incompetent, I will take him down and put you in his position.

What is you opinion? Do you think Li Kaigu can defeat Dae Joyoung?

This defeat was unavoidable regardless of who was in command.

Oh? So that`s your opinion....

Dae Joyoung is tough.

No one can defeat him in a single strike.

Failure makes you stronger.

Heaven knows how many ups and downs he had in his life. If he were a metal he would be forged steel.

General.

Oh, there you are.

How is Hongpei? Is it pestilence?

No, sir. It`s vernacular disease in my opinion.

A vernacular disease?

He must have had food or water along the way that didn`t agree with him.

He will recover soon so you don`t have to worry.

That`s tha, but now are you going to pay for this treacherous defeat?

You buried almost twenty thousand Tang soldiers in the hill of Chunmunryeong!

I could have your head for this!

We have no excusee, but...

I will accept any punishment.

General.

How could I dare attampt to make excuses? Punish me as you see fit.

How many days do you think it will take for Hongpei to recover?

He should be up in three days or so.

Conquer Chunmunryeong before he recovers.

You want us to conquer Chunmunryeong in three days?

I`m tired. Don`t make me repeat myself.

But three days is much too short.

If you can`t do it, three hundred years will not be enough!

If this beyond you ability, you might as well surrender you head right now.

Li kaigu, think back to that day you came to me and stabbed you own eye after losing everything to Dae Joyoung.

If you remember that rage and humiliation there should be nothing you cannot do.

Yes, sir.

In three days, I will have Chunmunryeong conquered.

Three days? That`s imposible.

This is a ridiculous order unless he is trying to remove you from command.

General let me take a few quick footed soldiers, I`d like to go into Princess Chulin`s camp.

Soldiers?

Is there someone who might help us from the inside?

Mago. I saw Mago during the last battle. I`m quite certain I can persuade him.

If this works out, we might just be able to bring down Chunmunryeong.

I will come with you.

-General. -I need to see Chulin.

That would be unwise.

Get ready. We will leave at once.

General!

-Who are you? -This is General Li Kaigu.

What? Li Kaigu?

My man, it`s me. Don`t you remember?

It`s Li Kaigu! Capture them!

Stand back!

I do not want to kill you. What happened to Chulin?

She is alive.

Take me to her.

Your Highness!

What is it?

I must talk to you alone.

Chulin.

-Leave us. -Yes....

How is your injury?

Why are you here?

I had to see uf you are all right.

Come with me. Let us get out of here.

Stop.

If you think I would go with you because you saved my life, you couldn`t be more wrong.

Wife....

All right.

I won`t ask you to with me.

But do me one last favor.

Don`t go out on the battlefield again.

Let go. Let go of me!

-What is the meaning of this? -Please wake up from this trance!

What are you talking about?

You and the Khitan soldiers are being foolded by Dae Joyoung and Geom.

Silence! I will not pay heed to a traitor.

Have you forgotten? Geom is Dae Joyoung`s son.

Dae Joyoung is using you with Geom as his front man.

Repeat that? Dae Joyoung is using us?

That`s right.

Don`t overlook the fact that Geom is a Goguryeoan.

Think carefully about who you should trust and who you should fight for.

If you really want to see Khitan resurected you must follow General Li Kaigu not Geom.

You will have to aim at my heart next time.

I might kill you first if you don`t.

I could never hurt you.

I don`t want to see you hurt or to have you watch me get hurt.

So please stay away. This is the last thing I ask of you.

Won`t you come back?

Leave Tang and come back to us.

I must get back to what`s mine.

My wife, my son and my people....

I must get back what Dae Joyoung took from me.

And when I win this fight and I am the last one standing, you will understamd why I did what I had to do.

I know you will.

You Highness, Prince Geom is back. But...

What`s wrong?

General Da Joyoung is with him.

-Welcome, general. -You`re doing great work.

My Mother?

She`s still awake.

Lead the general inside.

Didn`t you hear me?

Yes. This way.

Go in.

-Stay here. -Yes, sir.

What`s wrong, sir?

Something doesn`t feel right in this camp...

Mother..

Welcome, general.

What bring you all this way at this late hour?

How is your injurey?

It`s minor wound. Don`t be concerened.

I will leave you to talk.

We owe much of this victory to the Khitan army.

We were just doing our job.

Let me get some tea for us.

Is ther something wrong?

What could be wrong?

There is tension in the camp and you seem extremely nervous.

What`s wrong?

Nervous?

No, I`m not nervous.
