[00:08] Soo-won     That dance is very interesting. [00:11] Geun-tea     My king... [00:13] Geun-tea     I believe I'm supposed to appear in the mock battle. [00:16] Geun-tea     So what are these frilly clothes? [00:20] Soo-won     They're festival clothes. [00:22] Soo-won     You are the star today, General Geun-tea. [00:25] Soo-won     Aren't they beautiful? [00:27] Soo-won     They look foreign! [00:29] Geun-tea     These clothes aren't suited for battle. [00:32] Geun-tea     Especially these stones! They're in the way. [00:35] Yuno     Lord Geun-tea! [00:37] Geun-tea     Yuno... [00:39] Yuno     What shall I do? SIGN    Blush [00:40] Yuno     You look super-duper cute! [00:43] Geun-tea     You'd better not grab me and call me cute. [00:46] Yuno     I chose that outfit for you. [00:50] Geun-tea     It was you?! [00:52] Geun-tea     Damn you... [00:52] Geun-tea     Oh, my... [00:57] Geun-tea     King, this is my wife, Yuno. [00:59] Soo-won     Lady Yuno, hello. [01:01] Yuno     You look cute, too. [01:03] Geun-tea     How do you know him? [01:05] Yuno     The king said he likes my tea. [01:08] Yuno     We're tea buddies now. [01:10] Yuno     Right? [01:11] Geun-tea     When did this happen? [01:12] Soo-won     Right. [01:13] Cheol-ran     It's your fault for ignoring the king     all week, Lord Geun-tea. [01:19] Geun-tea     The sound of festival music. [01:21] Geun-tea     The voices of my tribe. [01:24] Geun-tea     War games of a people who have forgotten [01:26] Geun-tea     a war fought against the black     shadows of looming nations. [01:30] Geun-tea     This isn't the time for these things. [03:05] Soo-won     Now, for this mock battle, [03:07] Soo-won     you will be divided into red and white armies, SIGN    Episode 16: War Games [03:09] Soo-won     and must break opponents' plates with wooden swords. [03:12] Gyok     General Ju-do, you're already wearing yours? [03:15] Mua     You're really taking this seriously... [03:17] Soo-won     General Geun-tea and I will be the kings of     the red and white armies respectively. [03:21] Soo-won     The other participants are divided     into nobles and commoners. [03:24] Soo-won     A commoner's plate is worth one point, [03:26] Soo-won     a noble's is worth five, and a king's is worth ten. [03:29] Soo-won     The army that earns the most points wins. [03:32] Soo-won     If all an army's plates are     broken, the battle ends. [03:35] Soo-won     You must pay close attention to the ranks. [03:39] Soo-won     People of the same rank fight as equals. SIGN    Noble King [03:43] Soo-won     A king can break a noble's plate,     but he cannot break a commoner's.

SIGN    Revived [04:05] Soo-won     Breaking the ranking rules or deliberately hitting [04:08] Soo-won     something other than a plate with your     sword will result in disqualification. [04:12] Soo-won     Play safe and fight hard. SIGN    Fuzzy Wuzzy [04:15] Geun-tea     What an uninspiring man. [04:18] Judo     I agree. [04:20] Geun-tea     For once, we agree. [04:22] Geun-tea     This is meant to be a competition,     but can the king even fight? [04:27] Geun-tea     The Thunder Beast, the king's     childhood friend, was a prodigy. [04:33] Geun-tea     A warrior hones his skills by gaining     experience on the battlefield. [04:38] Geun-tea     But he possessed the strength of a thousand     men, without ever truly going to war. [04:44] Geun-tea     But I haven't even heard rumors     of the king's combat prowess. [04:48] Geun-tea     He is pale, and his arms are thin. [04:51] Geun-tea     If the Thunder Beast is a tiger,     then the king is a rabbit. [04:55] Judo     I would never agree with you! [04:57] Geun-tea     Huh? What are you so upset about? [05:00] Judo     Are you so blinded by natural talent? [05:04] Judo     You're so dazzled by the tiger's     earth-rending appearance, [05:08] Judo     you don't understand the true     nature of the so-called rabbit. [05:13] Judo     Both you and your adoring tribesmen are blind! [05:19] All     Lord Geun-tea! [05:20] All     Lord Geun-tea! [05:21] All     Lord Geun-tea! [05:23] Cheol-ran     Thank you for waiting, everyone. [05:26] Cheol-ran     The red-versus-white,     plate-smashing battle will now begin! [05:30] Cheol-ran     I, Cheol-ran, Lord Geun-tea's personal     attendant, will be your commentator! [05:34] Cheol-ran     The fire blazing at the eastern gate     is the color of righteousness. [05:37] Cheol-ran     Our hero, Lord Geun-tea, leads the red army! [05:40] Cheol-ran     At the western gate is a beautiful angel,     descended from the heavens. [05:43] Cheol-ran     King Su-won, of the Sky Tribe,     leads the white army. [05:47] All     What? [05:49] All     The king? SIGN    The People Were Uninformed [05:50] All     Did he say the king? [05:51] Cheol-ran     Should I have said that? [05:54] Cheol-ran     If someone comes after you, don't blame us. [05:57] Yuno     The plates on their heads are so cute! [06:00] Geun-tea     What's Ju-do's problem? [06:02] Geun-tea     You're the one who's always criticizing him. [06:06] Geun-tea     Look... The more you look,     the more he resembles a rabbit. [06:08] Geun-tea     If he isn't a rabbit, he must be a squirrel. [06:13] Geun-tea     Either way, he will only be eaten     by the tiger on the battlefield. [06:18] Geun-tea     Whatever... Let's see what he can do. [06:21] Cheol-ran     Begin! [06:24] Cheol-ran     What's this? [06:25] Cheol-ran     The white army makes a sudden, bold move! [06:28] Cheol-ran     Their king, King Su-won, is standing in the center! [06:32] Geun-tea     Oh? [06:34] Cheol-ran     Our Lord Geun-tea is meeting their challenge! [06:38] Geun-tea     Men, follow me! [06:42] Cheol-ran     The red army's battle cry rings     throughout the arena! SIGN    CHEER CHEER CHEER [06:45] Cheol-ran     Though nothing has happened yet,     the audience is exhilarated! SIGN    CHEER CHEER SIGN    CHEER CHEER CHEER [06:50] Cheol-ran     King Su-won prepares for a direct confrontation! [06:56] All     Eh? [06:57] All     Huh? [06:59] Cheol-ran     What's this? King Su-won has fled! [07:01] Cheol-ran     Lord Geun-tea, who gallantly accepted     his challenge, is disappointed! [07:04] Geun-tea     You're running? What a coward! [07:07] Cheol-ran     But the commoners of the white army catch     Lord Geun-tea off guard and attack! [07:11] Cheol-ran     Lord Geun-tea, watch out! [07:14] White D     Lord Geun-tea! [07:15] White E     Lord Geun-tea! [07:18] White A     Please step back. [07:19] White A     We will become prisoners of the red army. [07:22] White B     We're Earth Tribe members, forced to join     the white army for the sake of numbers. [07:27] White C     Our hearts belong with the red army. [07:28] White A     Victory to Lord Geun-tea! [07:30] All     Long live Lord Geun-tea! [07:33] Geun-tea     I don't want you fools! [07:36] Geun-tea     Are you mocking me? [07:38] Geun-tea     You think I can't win unless I cheat? [07:41] Geun-tea     There is nothing I despise more than giving up. [07:44] Geun-tea     I don't need your cowardly loyalty! [07:47] Geun-tea     Go feed it to the dogs! [07:50] Geun-tea     Don't cry! [07:52] White A     We're just so proud of you, Lord Geun-tea! [07:55] White B     We were fools. Forgive us. [07:58] White D     We shall mend our ways, and in a fair fight... [08:04] All     We'll defeat you, sir! SIGN    A king cannot attack a commoner. [08:06] Geun-tea     Crap. They're all commoners. [08:09] Cheol-ran     Lord Geun-tea is in trouble! [08:11] Cheol-ran     A king cannot attack commoners! [08:18] Red A     Lord Geun-tea, are you all right? [08:20] Geun-tea     Yeah. [08:21] Cheol-ran     A noble of the red army takes out     five white commoners at once! [08:25] Cheol-ran     They are now prisoners, but... [08:34] Geun-tea     So you've come, nobles? [08:36] Geun-tea     I've been waiting for you. [08:45] Geun-tea     Nobles! [08:47] Geun-tea     Step forward if you want to die! [08:52] Cheol-ran     Lord Geun-tea fells one white     army noble after another! [08:56] Cheol-ran     By the way, if you kill them, you'll be disqualified! [08:59] Yuno     That's it! Draw that expression! [09:01] Cheol-ran     That isn't fair, Lady Yuno! I want one, too! [09:05] Cheol-ran     The white army's King Su-won     is still running around [09:08] Cheol-ran     the battlefield, pursued by commoners! [09:10] Cheol-ran     By contrast, the red army's General Geun-tea [09:12] Cheol-ran     charges forward to strike down the next opponent! [09:16] Geun-tea     A noble! [09:18] Cheol-ran     It's white army noble General Hang Ju-do! [09:22] Cheol-ran     It's a showdown between Sky and Earth Generals! [09:25] Geun-tea     Ju-do, you're a noble. How dare you     raise your sword against a king? [09:30] Judo     I'm not raising it against you.     I'm defending myself. [09:33] Judo     You're only pretending to be a king.     Don't let it go to your head! [09:45] Geun-tea     Impressive, General Ju-do. [09:47] Geun-tea     If you were using your two-sword style     and we were on the battlefield, [09:51] Geun-tea     that blow might have cut me in two. [09:57] Geun-tea     This is starting to get interesting. [09:58] Geun-tea     I shall kill you. [10:01] Judo     Such a simple man. [10:02] Judo     And you call yourself a king? [10:03] Geun-tea     Huh? [10:04] Judo     If we were on the battlefield, you would     be a fool of a king to look only at me, [10:09] Judo     and not pay attention to your surroundings. [10:10] Geun-tea     What? [10:17] Cheol-ran     Friendly fire! [10:19] Cheol-ran     Red soldiers are smashing each other's plates! [10:21] Cheol-ran     King Su-won seems to have tripped! [10:25] Cheol-ran     The red soldiers have accidentally     struck their allies. [10:29] Cheol-ran     What incredible luck! [10:30] Cheol-ran     These points will be counted     in favor of the white army! [10:35] Geun-tea     Luck? [10:37] Cheol-ran     King Su-won uses the confusion to plunge     deeper into the red army's position! [10:43] Geun-tea     You aren't going anywhere! [10:45] Cheol-ran     Lord Geun-tea is on the move! [10:47] Red B     King, prepare yourself! [10:48] Cheol-ran     King Su-won is in a desperate situation! [11:07] Cheol-ran     What an incredible coincidence! [11:09] Cheol-ran     A little farther, and he would     have broken his plate. [11:12] Cheol-ran     No, perhaps he would have broken his skull! [11:15] Geun-tea     What? [11:16] Geun-tea     Was he just looking at me? [11:20] Geun-tea     Was he aiming for me? [11:22] Soo-won     I'm sorry, General Geun-tea! [11:25] Soo-won     Are you all right? [11:28] Geun-tea     Is this man really a rabbit? [11:33] Cheol-ran     What an incredible coincidence! [11:36] Cheol-ran     The wooden sword deflected by King Su-won     nearly struck Lord Geun-tea's head! [11:40] Geun-tea     A coincidence? No... [11:43] Geun-tea     He was aiming right in front of me. [11:47] Geun-tea     Are those the eyes of a rabbit? [11:49] Cheol-ran     King Su-won releases the white army prisoners! [11:52] Cheol-ran     Though they now have more     soldiers than the red army, [11:54] Cheol-ran     if their plates are broken again, that will     mean more points for their opponents! [11:59] Cheol-ran     Will this work for them, or against them? [12:02] Cheol-ran     The released prisoners scatter     to engage the red army! [12:07] Cheol-ran     And King Su-won [12:09] Cheol-ran     is being chased by commoners again! [12:12] Geun-tea     What is he doing? [12:14] Geun-tea     Was I mistaken? [12:18] Cheol-ran     A sudden gust sends clouds of dust     flying throughout the arena! [12:21] Geun-tea     I can't see. [12:24] Geun-tea     Whose soldier was that? [12:27] Geun-tea     White shadows? [12:28] Geun-tea     Damn! [12:30] Geun-tea     They didn't scatter at random. [12:32] Geun-tea     They're attacking the red army with mixed     groups of nobles and commoners. [12:37] Geun-tea     Red army, stay together! [12:40] Geun-tea     We'll regroup! Come to me! [12:44] Geun-tea     Damn it. [12:45] Geun-tea     How is the white army controlling     its forces amidst this dust? [12:49] Geun-tea     Red army! [12:53] Geun-tea     Have you come for my head? [12:55] White F     I would never! [12:58] White F     But the king told us you like heroes     who challenge their enemies... [13:04] Geun-tea     The king? [13:06] Geun-tea     He knows how to motivate my people. [13:09] Geun-tea     I'm impressed you were able     to move around in this dust. [13:12] White F     The king instructed us to stand     upwind when the wind came. [13:16] Geun-tea     He was expecting the wind? [13:19] Geun-tea     Is your king directing this strategy, as well? [13:24] White F     Y-Yes, sir. [13:26] Geun-tea     I underestimated him. [13:31] Cheol-ran     After that sandstorm, the red army's     numbers are severely diminished! [13:35] Cheol-ran     Will this be our first and final battle of the kings? [13:37] Yuno     Lord Geun-tea... [13:39] Geun-tea     The king isn't fleeing. [13:44] Geun-tea     He's luring the red army to its death. [13:47] Geun-tea     The white army is composed primarily     of meek Earth Tribe members. [13:52] Geun-tea     But they raised their morale     by reviving their prisoners, [13:54] Geun-tea     and are somehow moving effectively. [13:57] Geun-tea     He's only pretending to flee like a rabbit. [14:00] Geun-tea     What is his true nature? [14:04] Soo-won     General Geun-tea, that hurts! [14:06] Geun-tea     Despite what he says, he's stopping my blows. [14:13] Cheol-ran     The red army has lost more soldiers! [14:16] Cheol-ran     How can this be? [14:17] Cheol-ran     Lord Geun-tea is the last remaining     member of the red army! [14:22] Cheol-ran     Not even Lord Geun-tea can     escape this situation... [14:25] Soo-won     You are alone, General Geun-tea. [14:30] Soo-won     If this place were a battlefield,     you would certainly die. [14:34] Soo-won     What will you do? [14:38] Geun-tea     The fleeing rabbit now seems like     a hawk fixated on its prey. [14:44] Geun-tea     Does he seem larger because of the situation? [14:48] Geun-tea     Even though it's only a game? [14:51] Geun-tea     No, that's not it. That's not it at all. [14:56] Soo-won     I have a suggestion. [14:59] Soo-won     This may be a friendly competition. [15:01] Soo-won     But if you lose in front of your     people, you will lose face. [15:05] Soo-won     I shall grant you a second chance. [15:08] Soo-won     Why don't I release the prisoners,     so we may battle once more? [15:14] Geun-tea     I decline your offer. [15:15] Geun-tea     On the battlefield, the dead     do not come back to life. [15:18] Geun-tea     Even if a thousand enemies stand     before me, I will fight! [15:23] Geun-tea     Worrying about my reputation     will not save the kingdom! [15:28] Geun-tea     This isn't just a game anymore. [15:31] Geun-tea     It's an opportunity for me to determine [15:33] Geun-tea     whether this nation's king is worth serving. [15:39] Soo-won     Then I shall accept your challenge. [15:41] Geun-tea     I don't mind taking you all on! [15:45] Cheol-ran     Lord Geun-tea seemed to be     in a desperate situation, [15:47] Cheol-ran     but now he's fighting the king one-on-one! [15:49] Fan A     Lord Geun-tea! [15:50] Fan B     Lord Geun-tea! [15:52] Geun-tea     He wields his sword calmly against me. [15:55] Geun-tea     But that doesn't tell me enough. [15:57] Geun-tea     Is this man a true king or not? [16:01] Geun-tea     You're mine! [16:18] Yuno     What? [16:21] Cheol-ran     All right! Victory! [16:24] Cheol-ran     He hasn't won yet, though. [16:26] Cheol-ran     But Lord Geun-tea is victorious! [16:28] Cheol-ran     I knew our general could do it! He's got it! [16:31] Cheol-ran     He has won the battle! [16:33] Soo-won     That was impressive, General Geun-tea. [16:36] Soo-won     You defeated me. [16:37] Geun-tea     What was that? [16:39] Soo-won     You truly are strong. [16:41] Geun-tea     Don't play games. [16:42] Soo-won     Uh... [16:43] Geun-tea     Once more. Stand. [16:45] Gyok     Wh-What shall we do? [16:47] Gyok     He's starting to sound strange. [16:49] Judo     The competition isn't over yet. Go. [16:53] Cheol-ran     Later, General Geun-tea's     plate was finally broken, [16:56] Cheol-ran     and the red army was annihilated... [16:58] Cheol-ran     However, the general didn't     go down without a fight. [17:02] Cheol-ran     Refusing to go quietly, he took out four nobles, [17:05] Cheol-ran     earning the red army enough points to win. [17:11] Cheol-ran     In Chishin, the miraculous victory     was celebrated all night. [17:19] Soo-won     That was a fun festival. [17:24] Soo-won     What's wrong, General Geun-tea? [17:26] Cheol-ran     What are you upset about? [17:28] Geun-tea     Why did you come here, King? [17:31] Geun-tea     All you did was wander around the     castle, have tea with my wife, [17:34] Geun-tea     and frolic about at a festival. [17:38] Soo-won     General Geun-tea, you're starting     to sound like General Ju-do. [17:42] Judo     Don't compare him to me! [17:44] Geun-tea     I thought I sensed something in     this king, but was I wrong? [17:48] Yuno     Lord Geun-tea, Lord Geun-tea... [17:50] Yuno     Listen to this. It's incredible. [17:53] Geun-tea     What is it? [17:54] Yuno     Some merchants from the Kai     Empire want to buy my tea. [18:00] Geun-tea     Your tea? You mean this smelly tea? [18:03] Yuno     It isn't smelly! It has a floral fragrance! [18:06] Yuno     The people of the Kai Empire     love fragrant, floral teas. [18:11] Geun-tea     Seriously? [18:12] Yuno     But what will I do? [18:13] Yuno     My tea plantation is too small     to supply the Kai Empire. [18:18] Soo-won     As long as you gradually expand, you'll be fine. [18:22] Soo-won     Instead of selling large amounts cheaply, [18:24] Soo-won     if you market it as a high-quality     specialty tea of Chishin, [18:27] Soo-won     people will come to this city. [18:30] Soo-won     The more difficult something is to acquire,     the more desperately people want it. [18:35] Yuno     Yes, King. [18:38] Hi-dea     Lord Geun-tea, Udo Mine is... [18:41] Geun-tea     Elder Hi-dea, did it collapse again? [18:43] Hi-dea     No, it's not that. [18:46] Hi-dea     We don't have enough workers. We're so busy. [18:49] Geun-tea     Busy? [18:50] Hi-dea     Remember the stones you     wore to the mock battle? [18:55] Hi-dea     We received an overwhelming     number of orders for them. [18:58] Geun-tea     Huh? That's impossible. [19:00] Geun-tea     Those stones hardly even sparkle. [19:03] Hi-dea     That's why no one thought they     had any value until now. [19:07] Hi-dea     However, after our artisans polish     them, they're quite beautiful. [19:11] Hi-dea     More than anything, they're the stones     of victory that you wore when you won. [19:17] Hi-dea     Of course everyone wants them. [19:19] Hi-dea     I've already got my own. [19:22] Geun-tea     Why would you wear that? [19:26] Hi-dea     Doesn't it look cool? [19:27] Yuno     How pretty. I want one, too. [19:28] Soo-won     The tea was delicious. [19:30] Cheol-ran     Mister Hi-dea, I'd like one, too! [19:30] Soo-won     General Ju-do, shall we go? [19:32] Cheol-ran     This will have a great effect     on our economy! [19:33] Judo     Yes, sir. [19:39] Geun-tea     Anyway, Yuno, you're amazing. [19:42] Yuno     Why? [19:43] Geun-tea     While I wasn't watching, [19:44] Geun-tea     you negotiated with the Kai Empire     and discovered a valuable jewel. [19:49] Yuno     I didn't do anything. [19:51] Geun-tea     But you... [19:53] Yuno     During the competition, I simply served tea     to a guest introduced to me by the king. [20:00] Yuno     I chose your outfit, but the king     suggested you wear the stones. [20:07] Geun-tea     Where is the king? [20:09] Hi-dea     The king left. [20:11] Geun-tea     He left? [20:14] Judo     You're unbelievable. [20:17] Judo     How much of that did you plan? [20:21] Soo-won     Don't you think it's a waste? [20:23] Soo-won     He lounges around his castle, unaware of     the influence he has over his people. [20:29] Judo     I don't understand the Earth Tribe.

[21:32] Geun-tea     He pretends to be weak, but his eyes     burn with unfathomable heat. [21:38] Geun-tea     In some ways, he is more terrifying     than Lord Yu-hong. [21:42] Geun-tea     He's a promising man. [21:45] Geun-tea     Can I place my hope in him? [21:49] Geun-tea     Well, it'll all become clear when     I go to see him eventually.
