BASED ON THE KINGDOM OF THE GODS BY YLAB

THE FIVE ARMIES' BASE CAMP IN MUNGYEONG SAEJAE

It is odd, sir.

There are only a few of them. We should go to His Royal Highness.

What did you do...

to His Royal Highness?

A criminal who committed high treason does not deserve such a title.

You are the one who committed high treason,

not His Royal Highness!

Let His Majesty be the judge of...

which one of us is indeed guilty of high treason.

His Majesty kindly came all the way here...

to punish the traitor himself.

Step aside.

I will not forgive anyone who stands in my way.

Three years ago,

you saved countless lives in Gyeongsang.

You are a man of such remarkable wisdom and bravery,

so why did you decide to side with the traitor?

I understand that you cannot desert him for he was once your pupil.

But if you admit your wrongdoing now,

I will spare your life.

Father...

Everyone that I love

either died or was ousted.

You are my one and only son...

and the most important person in my life.

So you must survive, no matter what.

Survive and prove that you are different from them,

as well as from me.

Show them what a true king...

ought to be.

Father.

It's me, Chang.

Thanks to you,

I have been living in hell for the past three years.

I will not let you deceive me like you did back then.

His Majesty...

already passed away.

But blinded by his greed for power,

Cho Hak-ju resurrected His Majesty...

and turned him into a monster with an insatiable hunger for human flesh.

Since His Majesty passed away,

the throne...

should be passed down...

to His Royal Highness according to the law.

What are you waiting for?

Shoot him.

Shoot him, or I will slay you as well.

Shoot him down!

I...

beheaded...

I beheaded my father.

Your Royal Highness.

It is not your fault.

Your Royal Highness.

You are now...

the king of this kingdom.

Your Majesty!

The Five Armies...

shall arrest the traitor that dared to assassinate His Majesty...

as well as all of his men!

ROYAL COMMANDERY DIVISION

Do you really plan to inspect

the private residence of the Queen's family?

We found trails of blood from the creek where that dead woman was found

all the way to Naeseonjae.

I am certain that she escaped from Naeseonjae.

Also,

she said more people are held captive in that place.

We must investigate Naeseonjae.

This...

is obviously connected to the Haewon Cho Clan.

Can you handle them, knowing their power?

Right.

Like you said, the Haewon Cho Clan...

is the most powerful family in this country.

However,

we must get to the bottom of this

and uncover the truth if such a heinous event...

actually took place there.

The Royal Commandery Division will investigate Naeseonjae.

NAESEONJAE

We must hurry.

Hey, what are you doing?

Jeez, seriously.

You drunkard, you threw up everything.

Damn it.

-I am dying. -You puked all over me.

Goodness.

Seriously.

What brings you here at this late hour?

We received a report that there has been a murder here.

We will search the house. You must all cooperate.

-Spread out and search the place. -Yes, sir!

This is a private residence of Her Majesty's family.

Everyone here is always careful with their conduct

not to harm Her Majesty's reputation.

Such a horrible incident could not have taken place here.

Search thoroughly!

Who lives there?

It is a place for guests, but it has been empty for a long time.

Sir, there is something you need to see.

Over here, sir.

The soil is frozen as we are in the middle of winter,

but this spot alone is soft.

It looks like something had been buried here.

This way. Let's go this way.

Catch those men carrying the palanquin!

Catch them all!

-Get them! -Do not let anyone get away.

Block the way!

-Stop! -Stop right there!

They were all...

found at Naeseonjae?

Yes, sir.

We found corpses of seven pregnant women and infants.

The women were stabbed, but something is odd about the children.

All the girls were strangled to death,
