The Promise
Give me back my food!
Little thief, stealing from the dead?
I have been watching you for some time
Give it back to me!
Alive they were my father's soldiers
Dead, my father's ghosts
Steal from them and you steal from me!
Give it back to me!
I will give you the bread
if you promise to be my slave
Let me down and I will be your slave
I don't believe you
Let me down and you'll see
Fine, if you promise
Kneel and it's yours You are now my slave!
What a beautiful helmet you have!
May I touch it?
Really? You think it's beautiful?
Alright then. You can touch it
Go ahead
I trusted you! I shall never forget this!
Don't cry, Qingcheng
Do you know who I am? I am the Goddess Manshen
Stretch out your hand
Your food is still there, isn't it?
Eat up
I am saving this for my mother
She will not need this anymore
But Qingcheng must not die, she must go on living
Do you always want to have to steal food from the dead?
And you don't want to be a slave to others
My child, the Eye of Infinity
contains each individual's destiny
every contour of their fate Their every smile, every tear
Yours... is also included
You can have the most delicious food
the prettiest clothes
All the riches of the world will be yours
in return for a small sacrifice
Every man you love, you will lose
Any happiness they bring will be fleeting
Are you willing to accept this?
Yes I am
Once you have agreed this will become your destiny for life
It can never be changed
Unless time flows backwards
winter falls in the spring and the dead come back to life
Remember, all the riches of the world will be yours in return for this promise...
Commander Yeli, what was that noise?
Barbarians
Barbarians? Where?
They are hiding from us
How many are they?
Twenty thousand
Twenty thousand? Twenty thousand against three thousand?
You should say three thousand against twenty thousand
Be proud to be one of the three thousand
Our enemies are the ones to quake in terror
as they are about to face our Great General
How many slaves have you brought?
I'll take them all
For this price you can't even buy dead bodies!
I am buying dead bodies
None of them will survive the battle
But Commander you said...
Here are 1330 pieces of silver.
Count it!
Thank you for the extra 10
There is no extra, 132 slaves plus you is 133
Tell them to stand up
Sir, slaves do not know how to stand
They only know how to kneel or crawl
I shouldn't really give you this piece of meat
I earned it, not you"
The alarm!
Where are we going?
Into the valley, to lure the enemy towards us
When they think they have destroyed our army
We shall ride down and attack
The left side, move forward!
Archers, to be ready!
What is it?
Listen...
Run!
Flee?
They have bought our lives. They'll kill us if we turn back!
Remember, Kunlun
I am still your master and you have to protect me with your life
Yes, Master
Kunlun, up the hill!
Shoot
These slaves have been ordered to deflect the first attack
Don't let them escape!
Great General
Those stupid barbarians don't know that
this valley is shaped like a horseshoe!
That slave is overtaking them and guiding them straight back!
Charge!
To the death!
Do not look back! Keep going!
Look, one ofthem is still alive!
It's our bull!! Run!
Long live the General!
Long live the General!
Victory!
Victory!
General!
He is long dead, Why did you bother to carry him all this way?
He was my master
What is your name?
The Slave Kunlun
Where are you from?
I don't know
Family?
