are encouraging the King to run.

They'll be held accountable

when the time comes.

Come on, escort the carriage.

Who are those men?

Men from the northern region.

They're not regular army.

The King is going to China

to ask for reinforcements.

The Crown Prince will be

in charge of the branch court.

A branch court?

What in heaven's name is that?

How can you split

the court in two?

Hurry up and clear the way!

Move out of the way.

Don't push!

No swords!

Stand back.

Get out of the way!

How can the King do this?

Stand back.

Get them out of the way!

Please, do not abandon us!

I thought I'd already seen Hell

but nothing like what happened here.

This isn't what we signed up for.

Let's get outta here.

Proxies that abandon their

posts are punishable by death.

What do you think, Tow?

Is it even possible to

make it to Ganggye?

Soedol.

Yes, sir.

When things are clear,

go back to the village.

Gather all our families

and evacuate them.

Where should they go?

Follow the King's group. That's

the only way they'll survive.

We'll catch up with them

when all of this is over.

Yes, sir.

Take care.

The country's falling apart!

Who gives a damn about service time?

Even if the country falls,

our fate stays the same.

A branch court?

This bunch is ramshackle.

Listen carefully.

You've been given the serious role

of escorting the Crown Prince.

If you hurt a hair on his

head or if you try to run,

you will be killed

immediately, understood?

We will fulfill our duties but

only until our proxy

term expires in a month.

Then we return and

look after our families.

What did you say?

Do you want to die?

Think you can come and go as you please?

We stake our lives to make a

living, but we are not slaves.

You've already broken military

law that is punishable by death.

Enough.

We should be working together,

not fighting each other.

As soon as we arrive in Ganggye,

we'll hold military service exams.

Since we're in the middle of a war,

you can join the official army

if you can shoot an arrow.

Can we be patrol officers too?

And any other things you want.

The point is that you'll be official.

No more serving for someone else.

If only that's possible...

Patrol officers get three

bags of rice a month.

- Three bags?

- Get ready to leave.

If you make a significant

contribution during war,

a slave can be freed, even

rewarded official status.

This could be our big break.

A drowning man will say

anything to save himself.

I wouldn't trust him very much.

If they go back on their words,

I'll shove them right into

a Japanese sword myself.

Maybe it's not the Japanese

we should fear the most.

We won't serve a king who abandons
