Free him from his pain.
Take a lock of his hair back to Korea.
Fear not, I will take this to your family.
AD 1375, 457 years into the establishment of Korea.
The 31 st King, Gongmin, has been assassinated -
by Hong Yoon and Choi Man-saeng and replaced by King Woo.
In China, it was a time of chaos when Chu Yuan-chang -
had founded the Ming empire in Nanjing -
forcing the Won empire from its century-old rulership -
in the great plains of China, to the north of the Great Wall.

Halt!
The castle is under construction. They will lead us to a guest house.
This hall is larger than I had expected.
This place doesn't look like a lodge. I will ask.
General, behave honourably.
I am General Choi Jung of Korea's Yongho troops.
Where are the diplomats to greet us?
You criminals, put down your weapons and official attires!
After murdering our diplomatic envoy, Korea has dispatched soldiers.
Now they send their army! Tie them up!
Don't panic.
Stay calm.
Throw away your weapons. He who disobeys will feel my sword!
General Choi! This is uncalled for.
- My duty is to protect the delegation. - General Choi Jung!
Everyone! Listen to them.
General!
We don't have much further to go.
- I acted rashly. I'm embarrassed. - It was my fault.
Exile is better than suffocating in an underground prison.
But it's too hot here.
Greetings. We are from Korea.
We're in exile, having been sentenced by Ming Emperor Chu Yuan-chang.
Are you a general of the Yuan empire? Cavalry of Cookoo Temur.
General, don't step forward. Do not say anything to offend them.
We have nothing against the Koreans.
Still, we can't let a single dog of the Ming live!
The fate of those people is in their own hands. Let's go!
General, including the ambassador, we have 12 casualties and 23 survivors.
Among the survivors, five are severely injured.
Have everyone gather here!
I suggest we camp here.
Since the head envoy has died, responsibility now lies in my hands.
If we stay here, the Ming army from Lanzhou will come.
- We can then inform them of our situation. - You wish to stay in exile?
Before being prisoners, we're delegates of a country.
We have no official letter nor a flag. How can we prove who we are?
Any Ming army will treat us as murderers.
- We've caught horses! - Two of them!
The Yongho troops have no more duty to carry out. Prepare to leave!
This is an endless desert. Where on earth can we go?
Back to Korea.
General, there are 3 missing and the others are all injured.
Find water and food first.
- Come to your senses! - Let me go, let me go!
- We're leaving. - We should look for the missing first.
This trip is too overwhelming for an old man like myself.
I always wished to lay down in my hometown when I die...
Are you in much pain?
May we rest?
No.
Even if we make it to Shandong, we still need a boat.
Too early to worry about that. Please get up.
What is it?
Yeosol!
General! Forgive that foolish child. He is just trying to help me.
He is the slave of the second ambassador.
The Great Wall leads to where the Ming and the Yuan are at battle.
Below are villages where the Ming troops are based.
Avoid the village and the troops. We cannot risk meeting anyone.
General. If we head north, we'll inevitably meet the Yuan army.
We should go through the centre of the desert.
Impossible! It's burning hot during the day. It will take 20 days to cross!
We only have food and water for 6 days.
We will make it in 10 days.
If necessary, we'll eat once a day and walk through the night.
In that case, the southern desert is quicker.
Whose territory is it?
No-one's. No-one could conquer the area.
I am worried about the second ambassador. He is exhausted already.
No-one here is free from suffering!
From now on, you guide us.
Whoever stops marching will be executed.
Son of a bitch!
He makes us fry. He will kill us!
You called me.
I am in such a wretched state.
I'm so ashamed to be the second ambassador.
Take care of the group. I bid you a safe trip home...
- Understood. - One last thing...
This child.
From now on, he is no longer a slave.
Treat him accordingly.
Get some rest.
Stop there!
They stole food while guarding.
- I am sorry, sir! - Please forgive me!
No mercy to a thief in the battle.
The same goes for you.
Beat them 20 floggings each.
Joojin troops only eat a bit per day. We are equal to your Yongho troops!
I will take all the floggings!
Do what he wants.
You will get the floggings of the both of you.
Watch carefully!
You served in many battles with my father.
Are my father and I different?
Those times were not this difficult. But I'm sure you will do well, sir.
Will we make it safely to Shandong?
Even if we return to Korea, they will be laughing at us.
For failing to protect the envoys, and to not even set foot in Nanjing.
Take this. It will be of use when you need it. Take it.
It's better to die.
The second ambassador has disappeared.
Stop him. See to the second ambassador.
He has died, sir!
Bury the body!
The Yongho troops will take the horse.
You may bury his body, but we will take the horse.
General!
Let's go!
Good afternoon!
Please give us food and water.
I can't tell by your accent where you come from.
Should we tell them we are diplomatic envoys from Korea?
They wouldn't believe us any way.
If you want to eat, you will have to pay. Understood?
What are they saying? Those low-lives!
One step forward and we will cut you!
Are you from Korea?
- Monk, are you also from Korea? - Serve these people food. I will pay.
Thank you. I am General Choi Jung.
My Buddhist name is Jisan.
I'm glad to have company on the way home.
How dare you touch my bow!
Mongol soldiers!
How come you have a Mongol sword? General!
We passed the battlefields.
There were only dead soldiers there.
- Are you a Buddhist monk? - Yes.
- Can you hold a service? - A monk who knows the rituals...
may also do that. Please give me the name of the dead.
All my men were brave warriors.
Just write "The sons of the Blue Wolf".
Treat the injured first.
General is here.
My princess.
Do you still refuse to eat?
Did you hear them say "princess"?
"Save me!"
What do you want?
Who put this filthy corpse here? It's bad luck! Shit!
You put this here, didn't you? Get rid of it!
Don't kill him.
I haven't seen such skill in a long time.
Where are you from?
One wrong move, and things will get out of hand.
Yuan troops and Central Asians are confederates. They might kill us all.
He has the eyes of a lion. I wish to make him one of my own.
But General, he killed 5 of our men.
I will give you 10 horses.
You came to the wrong place at the wrong time. God bless you!
If you insist on taking this difficult path, I will come with you.
- You don't have to. - I know these roads.
I might be useful.
We are done with the burial. Shall we leave?
We'll wait here. The Yuan army will pass through here.
We'll save the princess.
Didn't you say we were heading towards Korea, sir?
That was yesterday.
We are foremost a diplomatic envoy.
If we help the Ming dynasty, we'll receive a grand welcome in Nanjing.
We can go home after that.
It's too risky!
- Please reconsider, sir. - I've decided after deliberating all night.
We have to save Yeosol, too.
The Yongho troops and I will attack from the front.
Lieutenant and the others will take the rear. Go!
They're coming!
We shall attack them tonight!
General, we have no chance to win.
We can do it.
General.
Get down!
Daejung!
Let's go!
- Interpreter, sir... - Go away!
You idiot!
I am General Choi Jung, sent with the Korean envoys to Nanjing.
Get up.
The emperor calls me princess Furong. You don't look like envoys.
And I always thought that a princess lives in a palace.
I need to get to Nanjing.
If you escort me there safely, the emperor will reward you.
I have saved you. I'm also responsible for your safety.
Your highness, please step on the carriage.
This was a real victory, sir.
Are you okay?
Are you an interpreter?
I am Park. I am not an official interpreter, but I expect to...
Deliver my words to that man in black.
Hey! The princess wants you to guard the carriage.
The princess wants that boy to escort the carriage, sir.
I will give you a mission.
Guard the carriage.
I will go to my master's burial grounds.
The man can speak!
I am ordering you again. Guard the carriage!
I am a free man now! I will do as I please.
Please stop.
I don't need a slave who has forgotten his place!
The second ambassador set him free.
He was on the brink of death then.
He who is born a slave shall die a slave. That's the law of Korea.
Stop it!
Leave this bastard here.
- Everyone mount their horses! - General! One girl has survived.
She is a slut of the Yuan army. Leave her.
- Mercy is the virtue of the higher person. - I make the decisions here.
Take everyone with you!
General has come!
Your highness, Cookoo. I lost the princess of Ming.
Koreans took her.
Take him to my tent.
Princess!
We only have this humble food.
I haven't had time to say this... Thank you.
Please get some rest, your highness.
- I am Yooran. - Yooran, as in "dancing orchid"?
That is the most beautiful name I've ever heard.
- I am Park. - You have cute eyes.
You wicked one!
You're an envoy, yet you just play around with a woman.
What responsibilities do I have? I am only an interpreter.
Why worry at all. These miscellaneous signs don't mean anything.
How dare you mention Confucius as miscellaneous readings?
What an egotistic view to think that Confucius is the best.
There is hope for a wonderful world in every religion.
Confucius' words have been spread all over the world.
You should know the principles of the world.
It was Full Moon festival then.
Solmae was sixteen, I was eighteen.
Every evening we met on the hills. Then Solmae got pregnant.
We got married, and... 5 days later, I was enlisted on this mission.
Was it a boy or a girl?
She was 8 months pregnant when I left.
I miss my wife so much.
Is he feeling any better?
You should get some sleep. I will take care of him.
He will be better when he wakes up.
Where are you headed?
To Korea, your highness.
You two do not seem to get along.
People, when travelling together a long way, may come across so.
- Take good care of him. - I will.
Don't worry.
Your master was buried in a sunny place.
Do you have any family back home?
I'm all alone.
You're not alone from now on.
We will go together. To Korea.
The Ming troops will be anxious to find the princess.
We must head north.
Leave me alone with Rambulhwa.
Please do me a favour.
Tell me, your highness.
The Ming have kidnapped my sister. I want to revenge on the princess.
Bring her back to me.
Why did you help me? You resent the Ming for sending you to exile.
I don't take it personally.
If you help us see the emperor, we will resolve this misunderstanding.
What is the name of that person?
He is a slave.
I asked his name.
They're coming!
- The enemy is coming after us! - How close?
They're moving fast.
- How many? - Over a hundred, sir.
We must leave right now.
General, what should we do?
We will lure them to the carriage.
- That's a good idea! - Who's going to drive the carriage?
I will do it, sir. Give me two Yongho warriors.
Someone who has not fought will drive.
I am just an interpreter... I have never driven a carriage before.
- The boy is too young. - It's been decided.
Why is it always a Joojin soldier? He hasn't even seen his child yet.
Someone has to do it.
Take him to the carriage.
We have to pretend that the princess is in the carriage.
Wear it.
- Please help me! - I'm sorry.
I will go with you.
Yellow River is on the other side of the mountain. We'll wait there.
Please take these. Return them to my master's family.
Take care of Danseng.
We will meet again.
Do not forget it is your duty to protect the princess.
Return alive!
Halt!
We will walk from here. Tie the horses together and hide them.
What if Danseng doesn't come back?
Mongol soldiers are not stupid. They'll come after us.
We'll be prepared.
The princess cannot be in the carriage. There is only one guard.
They must be over the mountains by now, heading for the Yellow River.
Then, it will be impossible to catch them.
They will have to cross the river any way.
Let's burn the village and the ferry! Not a single man can cross the river!
What about him?
Go and kill him.
It's the Mongol soldiers!
Danseng! Danseng!!
Throw away that robe and run. Now!
Hurry!
Yeosol!
- I am so sorry. - Get up.
I served 2 years fighting the north, 2 years fighting against the Japanese.
Altogether it is 4 years in the army.
When I got home, all I found was rat shit in the kitchen.
Hell, I thought. I went to the head officer and hit him with my head.
So you were forced to choose between prison and the army?
- How did you know? - It's obvious. Don't go back at all.
- I heard of a Korean village in Beijing. - I will go home.
- My wife is waiting for me. - She must be beautiful.
She looks like a fat bear.
Still, for me, she is the prettiest one in the world.
Don't you miss your wife?
How many times do I have to tell you that I'm not married?
It may be freezing, but you don't want the Mongol troops to find us.
I didn't mean to wake you. I apologise.
I had a dream.
I was already in the Royal Palace.
Once we cross the river, we will escort you to the fortress of Nanjing.
Daejung said you are heading for Shangong.
I promise to protect you, no matter what.
Will the carriage return?
It will.
Sleep well, your highness.
The princess isn't here. - Divide the soldiers and search the area.
- What about the people? - They've seen us.
We can't spare them!
- Not a soul at the ferry. - We need to check for sure.
Why aren't we going down?
We will first go down to the valley over there.
Go take a look!
What's going on down there?
They're hiding near the ferry, killing everyone who tries to get across!
We will have to forget about Shandong.
- Who are they? - Well, I didn't bring them here.
- They followed me from the ferry. - The Yuan troops will find us!
Then we should scare them off!
Everyone, stop!
Stop, everyone! Didn't you hear me?
I never dreamed of meeting you here, your highness.
It is nice to meet you both.
- Let's cross the river at night time. - Yes, let's do that.
Better to find a ferry at Balhae Bay.
You mean that we cross the sea by ferry?
If you plan to go through the Yuan cavalry, go by yourself.
What if the general still insists on escorting the princess to Nanjing?
Are you crazy? We must return to Korea!
The main problem is that the princess is with us, isn't it?
Besides, it seems that we have to take those people with us.
We have a good news.
5 days from here, we can meet with the Ming army in Nanjing.
The princess says if we go there, she will arrange a boat.
Let's accept her offer.
- We'll wait for the carriage, won't we? - Do you think they will return?
Without a boat, we can't go home. We will be safe with Ming soldiers.
The Yuan warriors won't give up the princess.
But it's true that we need a boat.
I will follow you, General!
- Good thinking. - Get up.
But we still have to wait for the carriage.
We decided to accept your offer.
If you do it out of pity, then don't do it.
There is no time for pity.
Get ready to leave.
Joojin troops will stay here. You will leave when Yeosol and Danseng come.
You know that if one disobeys General's orders...
General... We should wait until tonight.
Danseng is here!
You came back alive!
I've missed you so much!
I'm glad you made it back.
It got stained with the Yuan troops.
I'm glad you came back alive.
I did not wish for a slave to die in such an honourable way.
Noble people tend to have useless thoughts.
Shouldn't we arrange a horse for the princess?
She is not the princess of Korea.
The princess wants to ride in a carriage. It is out of the question!
- Go get some solid wood. - Don't be foolish.
- Let's carry it! - Why the hell do we have to carry this?
Someone has to carry it.
- The soles of my feet are parched. - We don't have much time.
I will carry it.
Stupid woman! Don't you know the Yuan troops are near?
Sorry.
You're even louder than her!
She was comforting the children. Don't you care?
Says a man who play s around with a prostitute.
The Yuan troops will kill the children first as you run off.
- What do you know about me? - You are stupid.
Look at yourself!
We've only walked 12 miles today.
Like this, it will take us over 20 days.
Why do we let those wretched ones tag along?
How can you still be single at your age?
- I'm not married, either. - Is there anyone special in your life?
Hail, you wish to have a wife, too, don't you?
- He's still a bachelor. - How many times have I told you?
Have you had sex with a girl yet?
- Why aren't you married? - I took the wrong pills when I was young.
Would you like to try this?
No.
Old lady, old lady... come back!
She's a demented old woman. Her son was killed on the ferry.
How can we care for an old one like her at such a time? - Bring her here.
Who are you? Let go!
I will take her back.
There are 10 of them.
- Do you think they've found us? - I'm sure of it.
Let's just take the princess and leave, or we'll be killed.
He's right.
We must keep our word to the princess. We'll take everyone with us.
The Yuan cavalry is faster than the wind.
Even a hunter takes care of animals seeking shelter.
If you plan on leaving those people behind, I'm staying here.
You low-life son of a bitch.
Don't you want to see your mother?
Even she would support me on this.
We should all go together, as far as we can.
What are you doing? The Yuan soldiers are coming, let's go!
The princess goes first. Joojin soldiers!
Order them to carry. Now!
This carriage delays us more than the Hans we're dragging.
General, what about the Yuan soldiers?
- They want you to get off the carriage. - Who dares say so?
Step down.
Order them to carry the carriage at once!
Stop it!
The princess will be targetted by the enemy because of the carriage.
The Yongho soldiers and I will guard the rear.
No need to go meet the men who are chasing you.
I make the decisions here.
Let's go!
When you go down, keep 20 steps between you and the others.
If we're too far apart, we risk being overpowered by the enemy.
Are you scared?
Then stay here and rush out if you hear anything.
- I'll go in your place! - Watch the hill.
Others, let's go.
On my signal, rush at them!
- Do as I said. - Danseng!
Lieutenant Byuljang?
We will take care of things here. Go protect the princess.
Look, lieutenant is coming.
- Be sure to deliver it. - You can trust my husband, highness.
They're coming!
Go, hurry!
Go, princess!
The princess went that way.
- Don't move! - Don't come near!
Get your filthy hands off me!
You could have killed me! I'm a princess!
Stop yelling at me!
Don't think you can do anything just because you're a princess.
Let go of me.
- Lieutenant... - Are you okay?
What happened to the Yongho soldiers?
Help me up!
What happened to the enemy?
Sergeant Daejung led the Joojin troops to annihilate them, sir.
- What about the princess? - She's on her way, sir.
I have rested enough. We should leave now.
It's late, and you must rest more, sir.
It would be better to leave early in the morning.
I told you to get up!
If you wish to leave, go, sir. We'll get some sleep first.
I know that you control them.
I let you get away with it before, but I won't tolerate it any longer.
- Leave him alone! - Dochoong, be seated...
- You should put down your sword. - How dare you!
Lieutenant! Arrest them at once!
Now!
What about Daejung leading us until we reach the fortress?
Dochoong!
You should let sergeant lead us to the clay fortress.
Do you think you got here on your own?
Someone had to make difficult decisions. Do you realise that?
I made the decisions on behalf of us all.
Whoever stops me from now on will have his throat cut.
General, you are still in recovery.
You are the one I wish to kill the most. You.
Why don't you detain the general?
General, come back!
You may lead these poor people, but it does not change the situation.
Do you think he caused all this?
I cannot see the future.
You should hold on to the general.
I just want to take everyone home.
- We must leave. - Highness, did you have a nightmare?
The fortress is not far off. We should prepare to leave.
But your highness, everyone is asleep.
Don't worry too much. He can't be far.
Even if he wanted to come back, he wouldn't.
I am princess of the Ming empire. Pursued by the Yuan troops,
we head for the fortress of Weihai. Send your troops.
- Weihai! We head for the fortress of Weihai. Send your troops.
- We will go around the forest. - That's impossible, sir.
Their destination is where the forest ends.
I vowed never to return without the princess.
We are willing to risk our lives. We are not afraid of death!
Be careful, you are pregnant.
Thank you.
Daejung!
Where are the wounds?
The poison in his body is neutralised.
- Why don't you help the general get up? - I can get up by myself.
General, get up.
Do not call me a general anymore.
But you are still a general. You led the group very well. Come with us.
Come with me.
A well!
Where are all the boats? What about the Ming army?
- We came here trusting that bitch's words! - It's not the princess' fault.
Then whose fault is it?
You were the first one to tell us to come here, weren't you?
Stop it!
The Yuan soldiers will come soon. What now?
We'll leave.
Close the gates!
Go find something to use as bolts. Hurry!
Call a soldier who speaks Korean.
For years, Korea has been a subject of the great Yuan empire.
If you hand over the princess, we will let you all live.
Daejung, we can't defeat them.
The princess is none of our business any longer, is she?
They want me. You have already kept your promise.
You do not need to sacrifice yourselves.
If you refuse to hand her over, we'll annihilate you all!
Daejung, you must make a decision.
Please, help us!
The gates are opening!
The spear wielding man is still alive.
That bastard has ruined everything!
Those who wish to leave may do so. Those who wish to stay, stay!
Darling!
Set up a camp. We are going to war!
What do you think you are doing?
Sergeant Daejung! We found bamboo in the back.
Get away from here!
You still look pale.
I am alright.
- Water! There is water in the well! - There is water here!
They are skilled and fast fighters. They will attack the gate first.
Then they will climb up. This is a difficult situation.
General, please lead us.
I don't want to be a fool again.
Everyone knows that Koreans are skilled fighters.
That is because they have excellent leaders.
General!
I will fight by myself. I was the one who started all of this.
It is time for us to unite.
This is none of your business. It is my war.
Give liquor to the soldiers and let them sleep until the sun is up.
We must get the princess and return to the base.
We haven't rested in 3 months.
What if the Ming troops come?
There are only us and them here.
How many of us will survive?
Just stay by my side.
Wow! Thank you!
The coast is safe, so we will defend the front.
The monk will watch the princess and the elderly.
Interpreter and I will take care of the gate...
- You and Dochoong will take the East. - Dochoong and I will take the East.
What about me, sir?
You have something to do, too.
Never come out, never! You hear?
Otherwise I will punish you!
Pull!
You've made many.
I think they're coming...
Don't shoot until I signal!
Wait until they are closer!
Shoot!
The Yuan soldiers are coming!
Cut the ropes!
Maintain your post!
Daejung, hurry up!
General! The messenger has arrived!
Withdraw our men!
We got an order to retreat!
We have almost won already!
- You are going to die! - Shiao Lee!
Look. They have a white flag.
Someone in a high position has died.
- It will be difficult to beat them. - If they attack again...
Why did you order to withdraw?
- Dig a deep well on the hill. - We were on the verge of defeating them!
Cookoo has died.
Right after we left the headquarters.
We will hold a memorial and continue our attack afterwards.
Why did you leave your post?
Because of you, many people died!
Stop it! You are making everyone mad.
Stop crying. We've won any way.
The emperor will treat you as loyal subjects, and award you.
Award us? Who made us come all the way here?
Both my husband and daughter have died because of you!
- If you leave, we can be all safe! - We will all die in vain here!
Lieutenant!
What are they trying to do?
The water channel is blocked!
Everything will be over by tomorrow.
Cookoo Temur started a lost war.
The dreams of the great Genghis Khan may fade away.
We will lose our battle spirit if you continue to say that.
- Let's return to the prairies. - Just like that?
We're taking the princess with us.
- The children are waiting for you. - Why me?
I have nothing to do with them!
It's not your fault you want to avoid battle.
You said it was irresponsible.
You were right.
I am mean and a coward.
In this situation, it is harder not to fight than to fight.
It is useless cruelty.
Not fighting shows courage.
I used to study Confucianism. I dreamed of the perfect world.
I am only a countryman and can't become a government official.
That is why I came on this journey. No-one else wanted to come.
Why do I always have such bad luck?
Pray for 100 days for Buddha. He will help you.
Does it really work?
I thought you were going to see the children.
She is giving birth!
- We need hot water. - We don't even have much to drink.
What are you men doing here? Get out!
- Where's he going? - That nitwit!
- Go tell the others. - I'll get him.
Be careful!
An enemy!
Two enemies ran off with water.
Where is Danseng?
He was right behind me.
Grab the rope! Hurry!
- Wait. - Come back!
Take this.
That is smarter than I thought. Do you want to try?
Give me your hand.
No!
Stop crying like a bitch!
Let him cry.
Why did you come? So you could wail for us all when we die?
Before we do, get my eye back. My eyeball!
You said you would get us a boat! Can't a princess get us one boat?
What did you do that for? Why? Hit me again!
Don't blame the princess. I made the decisions.
How will you take responsibility for a situation like this?
We could send the princess out alone. Why can't we do that?
Let go, you son of a bitch!
Someone has to tell the princess about this.
Shut up!
Sergeant! Let them speak.
General, what are they talking about?
You are all cowards!
Then we should just cut her head off! Stand back.
If we hang her head outside, they might turn back.
What is Yeosol saying? Tell me!
- That you should be sent to the enemy. - Shut up!
Do you want me to say that he wants to cut her head off?
Do you have any idea how much you hurt her?
I came all the way here for one person only!
Never wish for something you cannot get! Don't forget you are a slave.
I've heard of a slave named Manjuk. He said:
"People are the same. Is there a seed that has its class written on it?"
His head was cut off right after he said that.
I'll cut off the hand that aims my neck.
My sword carries no mercy.
Want to try?
Many people have died already.
Do you also want to kill each other?
From now on, whatever happens... Do not help me.
It's a boy!
Bless the child for his life, your highness.
Are you trying to freeze the child to death?
She doesn't deserve to bless anyone.
Hurry and take the child inside.
Your highness...
Forgive us.
Bring me a horse.
I am leaving the fortress!
Wait, your highness. What have we been fighting for?
Everyone wishes that I leave.
As princess of the great Ming, I will end this war with my own hands!
Your highness, please don't go.
Do you want me to take my own life here?
Do not move. I will go on my own!
- General! - Get out of my way.
Koreans won't give you up. Please trust me!
How dare you block my path?
Do not act rashly. They are coming to us.
Don't go!
Will you guard the fortress?
- Kill him! - Wait!
Let him get his sword.
What happened to the others? How is Yeosol?
Stay there.
Daejung! Come up here!
You can't move, sir.
The palace was suffocating me.
I thought that if I left, I could be free.
This is my fault.
I am so scared. I don't think I can bear it any longer.
I am a coward, too.
I was always afraid that people would notice.
I don't deserve to be called a general.
Come here, everyone!
He seems dead.
He's moving!
He has one hell of a grip on life.
General, what's all this about?
If they come out to rescue him, we'll enter the fortress with ease.
If they don't... the warrior is mine.
Someone has to go get him.
I'll go.
General, if we open the gate doors now, we'll all die.
Right into the enemy's trap.
Should we just stand back and watch?
Let's just kill him ourselves.
Should I throw a torch?
The moonlight is bright.
Sergeant Daejung...
Don't do it! You like him too, don't you?
Daejung...
Do you still think of me as a general?
I want to lead the battle tomorrow.
We've been through a lot. It's a miracle that we've made it this far.
As in the proverb:
If a soldier tries to live, he dies. If he attempts to die, he survives!
We must unite. Even if we were to meet death in the end.
I'm sure they will break the gate doors and enter.
If they do, we will use these bombs.
All stand up.
We will protect you, your highness.
Do you want to be a general of the great Yuan empire?
I am a free man. Kill me.
They have never valued you.
To rebuild the great Yuan empire, we need courageous warriors like you.

You resemble my dead father.
Koreans and the Hans look very much alike. We're like brothers.
This has dragged on too long. Kill them all!
Before sunset, we will head back to the prairie.
Wait!
Fire, they're setting fire!
Run!
General... We failed.
Daejung...
I always wished for an honourable death.
It was my dream.
We must all fight together!
Dochoong!
Take the princess out of the fortress, now!
So many soldiers have died because of you!
Yeosol...
My son...
It's too dangerous.
You can't cross the sea with that boat.
I still have to go.
Only those on journeys wil
