00:00:01In the 8th year of the Valorian era, General Gabriel Rees let his cavalry suffer.
00:00:09He marched 3,000 miles, crushed the barbarian court and earned great merit for it.
00:00:17It's been 8 years. The desert is at peace. All the bloodshed has finally ended here.
00:00:27It's time for me to go home.
00:00:30General, His Majesty's reward is here. You are now a Divine General.
00:00:34Reward? I fought for the lights of every home behind me just to have my mother and sister live in
00:00:43peace and have a happy life back home.
00:00:45Go!
00:00:47To be able to repay my lord, I'd give my life without regret.
00:00:52A peaceful realm across these vast lands is the greatest honor I could ever have.
00:00:58Farewell, our great general. Farewell, Divine General.
00:01:03Farewell, Divine General.
00:01:08General Reed seeks no fame, but we must still honor him. He gave his entire life for our nation.
00:01:14His family deserves this glory too.
00:01:19Let it be known! In 3 days, we bring the rewards to his hometown.
00:01:23Yes!
00:01:28Master!
00:01:30Master! I have great news! In 3 days, General Arya Vance, Deputy to the Divine General will be coming here!
00:01:39What did you say? Quickly, prepare the whole county. Hang lanterns and pave the roads. We should all welcome her
00:01:46here with highest honors.
00:01:47Yes, sir!
00:02:00Mother, I'm just wondering, how is brother now?
00:02:04Didn't he say in his letter to us that wherever he is, he's doing well?
00:02:09I'm sure that. Your brother must be doing great things.
00:02:21That carriage seems to be carrying the Magistrate's son in the whole of Ashford. Only his family has such luxury.
00:02:26Madam Reed! I have really great news for you. Look who I brought with me here!
00:02:35Your family's truly blessed. This is Mr. James Smith. You should know him. He's from a noble family in our
00:02:42place.
00:02:42And also, he's talented and very handsome, right? I can see that. He and your Clara are truly a perfect
00:02:49match for each other!
00:02:55Mr. Smith, this woman is Clara Reed's, the Reed's daughter!
00:02:59You flatter me, madam.
00:03:01Miss Reed's beauty is famed across Ashford. I've heard of your good name before. Now that I've seen you, I
00:03:07can finally see it's well-deserved.
00:03:15Miss Reed's, this bracelet is named beyond worlds. This is a small gift to show my admiration for you and
00:03:22your beauty.
00:03:23What? Could the one that you're holding be the priceless bracelet that was sold at Vision Auction House just last
00:03:29month?
00:03:31Sorry, Mr. Smith. That is too valuable. I can't accept that. Besides, my marriage must wait for my brother's return
00:03:38before it can happen. For now, I have no such thoughts.
00:03:43Madam Reed, Mr. Smith is such a fine match. You'll regret missing this. Please convince her.
00:03:48With parents' approval and a matchmaker's say, she might agree with it if you help to persuade her.
00:03:55Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Smith. But we are of humble means. We dare not reach so high.
00:04:01Besides, Clara is still too young. There's no need to rush into marriage yet.
00:04:08Very well. Nobody can force love. Since Miss Reed's is not interested, I suppose it wasn't meant to be. I'll
00:04:16take my leave.
00:04:19Oh, dear. You two are unbelievable.
00:04:25Mr. Smith is truly a well-mannered and kind person. He knows his place. He's not arrogant just because he's
00:04:33from a great family.
00:04:35Mr. Smith, I'm sorry about today.
00:04:38Thank you for your help today. This is your payment.
00:04:43Thank you, Mr. Smith. Take care on your way, sir. If I find a better match, I'll let you know,
00:04:48Mr. Smith. Safe travels!
00:04:51Mr. Smith.
00:04:58So good. She smells...so good!
00:05:09Ronald!
00:05:11I really want that girl. Do whatever you need to do to bring her to me. I want her now!
00:05:20I can't wait any longer.
00:05:33Clara, put the gloves away.
00:05:36Okay.
00:05:42Hey, you.
00:05:43They're coming with us.
00:05:45Who?
00:05:46Who are you?
00:05:48Let's go!
00:05:49What are you doing, huh?
00:05:50Get out!
00:05:52Get out of here!
00:05:53Leave this place!
00:05:54Leave!
00:05:54Move!
00:05:57Leave!
00:05:59Useless trash!
00:06:01Scram!
00:06:06Useless trash!
00:06:07Scram!
00:06:08Get out of here!
00:06:10Stay away!
00:06:13Stay away!
00:06:14No!
00:06:17Where are you going?
00:06:19Mother!
00:06:20Let go of me!
00:06:21Mother!
00:06:21Let go of me!
00:06:23Mara!
00:06:24Let go of me!
00:06:25I should let go!
00:06:27Mother!
00:06:29You should be rewarded.
00:06:30Do you want to die?
00:06:31These people are so fierce.
00:06:33You can't afford to offend them.
00:06:35Aren't you afraid of them?
00:06:36What are you looking at?
00:06:38You want to die?
00:06:39I'm glad to grant it to you.
00:06:40Let me go!
00:06:40Let me go!
00:06:45I'm begging you, sir.
00:06:47Please let my daughter go!
00:06:49I beg you, sir, please!
00:06:51Let my daughter go!
00:06:52Please!
00:07:12Mr. Smith, the girl is with us.
00:07:18This wine from the western regions is really something else, huh?
00:07:25Tonight, we'll have so much fun.
00:07:40Who are you to trespass?
00:07:42Dismount at once!
00:07:46Dismount at once!
00:07:57Greetings, General Reed!
00:07:59Greetings, General!
00:08:01No need for that.
00:08:02I only returned to visit my mother and sister.
00:08:05Keep it low-key, and don't spread the news.
00:08:07Yes!
00:08:08Kill!
00:08:16General Reeds is from Bayshore?
00:08:19I had no idea he was from here.
00:08:20I disrespected him.
00:08:22Quick, find out where his family lives.
00:08:24Do it fast and keep it a secret.
00:08:27Report back to me as soon as possible.
00:08:29I will prepare generous gifts and visit him personally.
00:08:36Hey, come back here!
00:08:44Come back here!
00:09:12I'm going to have a good time with you.
00:09:14Come on, guys.
00:09:20Now you're going to be mine.
00:09:22Well, aren't you going to run?
00:09:24If you do it, be useless.
00:09:25I'm just about to have fun with you.
00:09:28Mr. Smith, you're behind this.
00:09:32Please, Mr. Smith, please let me go.
00:09:35Let me go?
00:09:36Oh, did I hear that right, huh?
00:09:39But you're saying this.
00:09:42So good, it's utterly intoxicating.
00:09:45Why would I go ahead?
00:09:48Why would I let you go again?
00:09:50After all, you're the first woman in Ashford who would dare reject me, James Smith.
00:09:56You are the Pearl of Ashford.
00:10:00No!
00:10:01Stop!
00:10:07You smell so good.
00:10:09I'm sad.
00:10:11It's so captivating.
00:10:12I can't forget it.
00:10:14I like it a lot.
00:10:18Stop!
00:10:19No!
00:10:23No!
00:10:25Please!
00:10:30I'm in a good mood today.
00:10:32You can all line up.
00:10:34Everyone gets a turn!
00:10:36Help!
00:10:36Oh!
00:10:37Don't let her go!
00:10:42No!
00:10:42Ah!
00:10:43Mom, what are you doing?
00:10:45We're over here!
00:10:47Ah!
00:10:48Bye!
00:10:48Bye!
00:10:50Ah!
00:10:51Goodbye!
00:10:57Ah!
00:11:04Uh...
00:11:04Bye!
00:11:14That's Clara, right?
00:11:16Good heavens. This is so cruel. How could this happen?
00:11:39Clara! Clara!
00:11:43Mother, I've been ruined. I've been ruined.
00:11:51Why did this happen to my child?
00:11:55Oh, good heavens.
00:11:58Please have mercy on me and my child.
00:12:17Drums! Let's go!
00:12:21Who are you? What are you doing here?
00:12:23And why did you sound the grievance, Drums?
00:12:26Explain everything slowly. There should be no lies.
00:12:32Your Honor, we're here because...
00:12:34Last night, some Rockians broke into my home.
00:12:38Huh?
00:12:38And abducted my daughter, Clara Reed.
00:12:42And they...
00:12:45They...
00:12:46Oh, my goodness.
00:12:48Oh, my girl.
00:12:51Your Honor, please seek justice for my poor daughter and punish the criminals.
00:12:58Huh? Such audacity.
00:13:00In broad daylight, who was the one who dared act so boldly under my rule?
00:13:07Madam Reeds, is your statement true?
00:13:11Did you see the faces of who did this to her?
00:13:14Yes.
00:13:15It was.
00:13:18James Smith was the one who did this.
00:13:27Miss Reeds, please answer me.
00:13:30Are you certain it was James Smith?
00:13:32Answer me. Look at me.
00:13:36Yes.
00:13:37It was him.
00:13:39Last night, he...
00:13:41He disrespected my body.
00:13:45Guards!
00:13:46Bring James Smith here!
00:13:47No need for that.
00:13:48Huh?
00:13:48Huh?
00:13:51Oh, he's a man.
00:13:52I'm right here.
00:14:05Father!
00:14:13Do you want to report me?
00:14:15Yes, I want to. You're a heartless tyrant. You're a complete hypocrite. A real monster.
00:14:22In front of everyone last night, you had my daughter obstructed. And you even raped her.
00:14:30This is really terrible, isn't it? Do such a thing.
00:14:34Please, your honor, take justice for me and punish this heartless monster.
00:14:43You're so outrageous. How could you do that? He's a monster.
00:14:50Silence. If James Smith has really committed the crimes you say he did, I will show no mercy.
00:14:56He will definitely be punished.
00:15:01James Smith, answer me. Is what she's claiming really true, huh?
00:15:08Father, please judge wisely.
00:15:10I would never do such a vile thing to her.
00:15:20Madam Reims, I bear you no grudge. So why are you slandering me?
00:15:24It's him. It's really him.
00:15:29Strictly no shouting in this court.
00:15:32Madam Reims, do you have proof to back your statement?
00:15:39They all saw what happened to her.
00:15:42Those men last night abducted my daughter.
00:15:47Oh, did anyone here see what happened to her yesterday?
00:15:52No, your honor. We, we didn't see anything.
00:16:03You saw everything.
00:16:05You saw everything. Now then.
00:16:06Why are you not telling the truth?
00:16:07I didn't see anything. I didn't see a thing.
00:16:12You didn't see it.
00:16:14You.
00:16:19Since there is no evidence.
00:16:22You shameless woman.
00:16:24How dare you accuse my son like that?
00:16:26Do you think this court is your playground, huh?
00:16:29Guard, sir.
00:16:30Drag these shameless people out of here.
00:16:33Give them 30 lashes.
00:16:35No!
00:16:36Move! Come on!
00:16:37Get up!
00:16:38Get over!
00:16:38My heart!
00:16:39We were the ones who've been found!
00:16:41Please, bear my mother!
00:16:42Let go over!
00:16:43Let go!
00:16:45Let go!
00:16:45Let go!
00:16:45Let go!
00:16:46Let go!
00:16:46Let go!
00:16:47Let go!
00:16:47Let go!
00:16:47Let go!
00:16:48Let go!
00:16:49Let go!
00:16:51Let go!
00:16:51Let go!
00:16:52Let go!
00:16:53Let go!
00:16:59Let go!
00:17:05You've been robbed, official!
00:17:07We're refusing your mother!
00:17:09Heaven will punish you!
00:17:20Mother!
00:17:22Mother!
00:17:25Mother!
00:17:26I'm back now!
00:17:28Mother!
00:17:30Clara!
00:17:38Madam!
00:17:39Do you know where my mother and my sister are?
00:17:42Gabriel, don't act rashly, all right?
00:17:44We common folk can't fight the officials here.
00:17:47They control everything here.
00:17:49Madam!
00:17:50Please tell me what happened here.
00:17:53My dear lord, listen, the magistrate, Sonny, he violated your sister.
00:17:59After that, they were almost beaten to death!
00:18:02What?
00:18:09My lord, bad news.
00:18:12We found out that the general's mother and sister was...
00:18:15They...
00:18:16They...
00:18:16They have been...
00:18:17They've been what?
00:18:18To spit it out!
00:18:20They were arrested by the Ashford magistrate and beat them.
00:18:23What did you say?
00:18:26Prepare...
00:18:27The horses!
00:18:28We have to go there now!
00:18:33You...
00:18:35You corrupt officials!
00:18:37You father and son are in this together!
00:18:40You pay for all of this!
00:18:50Mother!
00:18:51Mother!
00:18:52Mother!
00:18:52Let go of my mother!
00:18:54My lord!
00:18:55We are dropping charges!
00:18:57Please despair us!
00:18:59Go and torture them without mercy!
00:19:01Let these unruly ramble learn what the law truly means!
00:19:05Mother!
00:19:06Mother!
00:19:15You stubborn old fool!
00:19:17Still won't break, will you?
00:19:19I'll tell you something!
00:19:21The taste of...
00:19:25Your daughter...
00:19:26Was truly exquisite last night!
00:19:29Such a shame!
00:19:30She couldn't take much!
00:19:32We barely started, but...
00:19:34She fainted already!
00:19:35Later on...
00:19:37I'll have my men...
00:19:38Take another turn with her!
00:19:40Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
00:19:46Beat this wretched old hack to death!
00:19:49No, please!
00:19:49Don't do it!
00:19:50Spare my mother!
00:19:52Ha ha ha ha!
00:19:52You can do whatever you want with me!
00:19:55No, Clara!
00:19:57Huh?
00:19:58Did you really say that?
00:20:00Really?
00:20:02Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
00:20:04Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
00:20:05Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
00:20:06Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
00:20:06You did say it, didn't you?
00:20:08Ha ha ha ha ha!
00:20:08Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
00:20:09Have you forgotten that?
00:20:10Whatever I declare...
00:20:11We'll really be binding!
00:20:13Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
00:20:18Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
00:20:40Who dares offend the Reeds?
00:20:59Why don't you answer my question, which filthy wretch assaulted my mother and sister?
00:21:07How dare you! Making trouble in this court and breaking down the gate, who are you huh?
00:21:12Quickly, seize that man now!
00:21:14Yes sir!
00:21:26Mother! Clara!
00:21:40Gabriel! Gabriel!
00:21:45That gate! That gate!
00:21:49I understand! They ruined Clara! It needs me as well!
00:22:00I understand now.
00:22:05Gabriel! It was that beast! That gate!
00:22:12I understand now.
00:22:18Gabriel!
00:22:20We can't stand against all of them.
00:22:25I know that.
00:22:28You may be different now.
00:22:36However, since before, commoners should never pick fights with officials!
00:22:44Mother!
00:22:46Do not worry. I know what I'm doing.
00:22:50You two should rest.
00:22:52Leave it to me. I'll take care of this.
00:23:18You said such bold words. Who exactly do you think you are?
00:23:25Well, look who it is.
00:23:28So the little one just baths their brother as they turn.
00:23:32So what?
00:23:33You're here to stand up for her?
00:23:36Let me tell you this.
00:23:38In the entirety of Asher, I am the law.
00:23:41No one is above us.
00:23:43Do you understand?
00:23:45So listen to me.
00:23:46Your sister should consider herself fortunate to have caught my eye.
00:23:51Though I must say...
00:23:53She didn't last very long.
00:23:56But she still tasted good.
00:23:59You're the one who did this to my sister.
00:24:04Oh!
00:24:10Oh!
00:24:12Oh!
00:24:14Oh!
00:24:14Oh!
00:24:15Oh!
00:24:15Oh!
00:24:15Oh!
00:24:16Oh!
00:24:17Oh!
00:24:19Ronald is no amateur in combat.
00:24:22Oh!
00:24:23Oh!
00:24:23Oh!
00:24:25Oh!
00:24:26Oh!
00:24:27Oh!
00:24:29Oh!
00:24:29For you are James Smith!
00:24:32How dare you!
00:24:33Now you assault my son openly!
00:24:36Your crimes are compounded!
00:24:37Guards! Seize that man now!
00:24:43Whoever brings him down shall be handsomely rewarded!
00:24:49Just these worthless fools!
00:24:53I have another question for you.
00:24:55Was the blood on my sister's legs caused by you?
00:25:04Yes, it was! And one of it!
00:25:07She brought it upon herself!
00:25:09She seduced me!
00:25:10A lowborn girl like her just happened to catch my eye!
00:25:13She should be grateful about it!
00:25:15Attack him! Go ahead!
00:25:20Why aren't you attacking?
00:25:22Why aren't you attacking?
00:25:30No!
00:25:31No!
00:25:45No!
00:25:46No!
00:25:47No!
00:25:48No!
00:25:49Go!
00:25:52No!
00:26:10My beautiful face and my teeth!
00:26:14That one was for my sister's legs.
00:26:23Which part of my sister did you touch?
00:26:27Nowhere!
00:26:29Mother!
00:26:30Hey!
00:26:31Father, save me, please!
00:26:32Stop that! Stop that now! Stop it!
00:26:34Do you have any idea who my son's uncle, my sworn brother is, huh?
00:26:39Do you have someone backing you?
00:26:41You are finished now!
00:26:43My uncle is the Grand Marshal of Bayshore Southern Army.
00:26:46Under Commander Nathan Ward, commanding 50,000 troops!
00:26:51I've already sent word to my uncle now.
00:26:55I know he's already on his way here.
00:26:57If you kneel and beg for mercy, I may still spare your life.
00:27:02But if you wait until he arrives, then I vow to make you wish for an instant death!
00:27:07So is that all that you've really got?
00:27:12A county lord that colludes with military power, letting his son run amok, extorting merchants, and preying upon the people,
00:27:21offending my family.
00:27:23Alright, today I give you one chance.
00:27:28Let's see if you can really make me wish for my death.
00:27:41James! Quickly! This is bad!
00:27:43It's outrageous! This has gone too far!
00:27:45Today I'll make sure that you die without a grave!
00:27:48The son fails, the father pays.
00:27:51You was the lord of this county, allowed him to run amok, twisted right and wrong, and abused your authority.
00:27:56You were not worthy of that uniform!
00:27:59What are you doing? I am an officer of the throne! Try me and see what happens!
00:28:04Hey, Gwai! The Grand Marshal of Bayshore has arrived!
00:28:07Ha ha ha ha ha! Did you hear that?
00:28:11My uncle is here now! The Grand Marshal of Bayshore is here!
00:28:15You're finished! Your entire family is finished! I will have my way with your sister right in front of you!
00:28:21I'll sell both your mother and sister off to the brothels! You'll see! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
00:28:31I dare anyone to try me!
00:28:36I dare anyone to try me!
00:28:41Uncle! Uncle!
00:28:53Who are you to be so bold and storm into this court to insult my brother and harm my nephew?
00:28:59Uncle! This villain really dared to barge into this court and assault an officer!
00:29:04He holds a beat me so badly!
00:29:06He even threatened us that he'd wipe out our entire family!
00:29:10Uncle! Please have him seized and put to death! Do it now!
00:29:13Uncle! This man is actually dangerous! He's exceptionally skilled! And highly trained in combat!
00:29:18He must be an outlaw! Bring your men and take him down!
00:29:21Uncle! Uncle! Uncle!
00:29:27I'll give you one last chance to survive this!
00:29:29Surrender, confess, and name your accomplices! I'll let you die quickly!
00:29:33Hmph!
00:29:35So you're the one they hide behind!
00:29:37As a lord and guardian, you extort merchants and break every law!
00:29:42Quite admirable!
00:29:43Hmph! What about that?
00:29:45Whatever wrongs my nephew may have done, you are not in a place to judge him!
00:29:49The law?
00:29:50Hmph!
00:29:51In the lands of Bayshore, our word is the law! Do you understand?
00:29:56All right! Then let us see whether your so-called law has any hold over Gabrielle Reed!
00:30:03Gabrielle Reed? Such a stubborn fool!
00:30:08Hear my command, soldier!
00:30:09Yes, sir!
00:30:11Cut this rogue down!
00:30:13Right where he stands!
00:30:14Yes, sir!
00:30:18Hear my command, soldier!
00:30:19Yes, sir!
00:30:21Cut this rogue down!
00:30:23Right where he stands!
00:30:24No!
00:30:25No!
00:30:45Impossible!
00:30:46This can't be!
00:30:47His skill in combat, I've fought half my life.
00:30:50I may not even be his match.
00:30:51No ordinary rogue or outlaw could possess such ability.
00:30:57Insolence!
00:30:58You dare strike the soldiers?
00:30:59Under the laws of this land, you shall be condemned!
00:31:03Condemn my family?
00:31:04Do you not know that a soldier's blade is meant to strike enemies and protect people?
00:31:08But you use your sword for such evil doings and help the devil!
00:31:12You are not worthy!
00:31:17Uncle, kill him now!
00:31:18Please end him now!
00:31:20This man is some kind of sorcerer!
00:31:22Yes, right.
00:31:24Hey!
00:31:25What manner of sorcerer are you?
00:31:27What magic do you wield to stand against the armies?
00:31:30I am the Grand Marshal of Bayshore, serving under Commander, Commander Nathan Ward!
00:31:34Commander Ward leads an army of a hundred thousand men!
00:31:37No matter how powerful your sorcerer is, before that army, you will be nothing but dust!
00:31:43If you surrender to me, I may yet play it for your life!
00:31:48Do you understand?
00:31:49Grand Marshal of Bayshore Southern Army Leonard Smith, does this mean Nathan Ward is your final card to play?
00:31:58Since you ask who I am, then, let me ask you this.
00:32:02Five years ago, at the Battle of the Southern Wastes, when three thousand cavalry shattered the enemy, where were you?
00:32:11Three years ago, when the northern border held for a hundred days with no retreat, where were you?
00:32:18Three days ago, charging a thousand miles, when I took the General's head in the midst of his army!
00:32:24Where were you then, huh?
00:32:28No, impossible!
00:32:30How?
00:32:32I have fought on countless battlefields, crushed the enemy's armies, and was named by the King as a Divine General!
00:32:49Impossible!
00:32:50He cannot be that legendary Divine General!
00:32:53He would never appear in this backwater of a place!
00:32:56And how could he possibly be the son of beggars?
00:33:02Impossible!
00:33:03That is impossible!
00:33:04The Divine General is the greatest hero!
00:33:06He has long returned, in triumph to meet his majesty!
00:33:09Why would he appear in this forsaken place?
00:33:11You!
00:33:12You scheming wretch!
00:33:13You must have heard of his name from somewhere!
00:33:16And you!
00:33:17You are using to trick us and fool the people!
00:33:22That's right!
00:33:22Do you know who the Divine General is?
00:33:24How dare you impersonate him!
00:33:26Impersonating the Divine General only means death for your entire bloodline!
00:33:30You insolent wretch!
00:33:32You are an impersonator!
00:33:34If you bring this man down, it will be a great merit!
00:33:39A bunch of useless foals!
00:33:53No!
00:33:54Impossible!
00:33:55How do you possess such terrifying skill?
00:33:58I know!
00:33:59This is sorcery!
00:34:01It has to be that!
00:34:02What dark magic are you using, huh?
00:34:06Truly a stubborn fool to the very end!
00:34:10This man must be a spy from an enemy nation!
00:34:13Or some rogue sorcerer that's using dark arts to grind us!
00:34:18And destroy our court!
00:34:20Stand firm!
00:34:21Don't let him fool you!
00:34:23Commander Ward!
00:34:24Yes!
00:34:24I'm sure that Commander Ward's army will arrive any moment!
00:34:33Do you have any idea who Nathan Ward really is?
00:34:37Answer me!
00:34:37He commands 100,000 troops at Bayshore!
00:34:41He definitely is the backbone of this nation!
00:34:44His army is stationed nearby!
00:34:46They're generously armed!
00:34:47Do you think that he'll let you pull this stunt?
00:34:50Surrender now!
00:34:51And just maybe, you'll get a quick and easy death!
00:34:55When Commander Ward arrives, he'll grind you into dust!
00:34:58For daring to impersonate the Divine General and every single lowlife in your family will die!
00:35:04That's right!
00:35:05That's right!
00:35:06Commander Ward will be right here with his troops!
00:35:09When he arrives!
00:35:10You're dead!
00:35:11You, your mother, and your sister!
00:35:13You're all dead!
00:35:18So tell me, when is he getting here?
00:35:22Report!
00:35:25Sir!
00:35:26Commander Ward from Bayshore has arrived here!
00:35:28Hehehehe!
00:35:34Commander Ward!
00:35:51My respects, General Reeves.
00:35:55I fail to control my men and keep order, causing your family to suffer.
00:36:00I deserve to die for this failure I have committed.
00:36:07What? He really is the Divine General? But how is that possible?
00:36:14So do you believe it now?
00:36:26General, please have mercy. I had no idea. I swear I didn't know it was you.
00:36:32How about I give you everything I own?
00:36:35I'll return your sister. No, no, no, no, no. I'll be your servant for life.
00:36:40Please just spare my life. I'm begging you, please spare me.
00:36:52I've been briefed on what happened here. It was my oversight. I let my subordinate's families get out of hand.
00:36:58General Reeves, please give me a chance to make this right for everyone. I promise you, I'll get to the
00:37:05bottom of this. I'll make sure everyone involved will be punished. I owe it to you, Mrs. Reeves and Miss
00:37:12Clara Reeves.
00:37:14Commander Ward. He's responsible for all the blood on Clara's legs. The wounds on my mother's back are from the
00:37:23beating he ordered. And above all that, he took Clara's virginity. He even said right to my face that he'd
00:37:31rape her all over again and he would sell my mother to a brothel.
00:37:36I heard every word you said. Only a monster would do this. This is unforgivable. I will...
00:37:49General, please spare me. Father, save me, please. Commander Ward, please. My uncle served you for years. Please save me.
00:38:01Was it this hand that touched her? Or was it both your hands?
00:38:06No, please. No, no. I didn't. No, please.
00:38:09Ah, my hands. No.
00:38:18Commander Ward, I'm... I'm listening.
00:38:22Each member of the Smiths involved in this case will be tried under imperial and military law. Those who deserve
00:38:29death will get no mercy. Those exiled will never be pardoned.
00:38:36Seize all their family's assets. Use them to compensate the people who have suffered for years. Rebuild the county school
00:38:44and poorhouse.
00:38:44Yes. I have my orders. I will handle this by the button. No exceptions.
00:38:51As for you... After today, a report to the Ministries of Justice and Will to answer for your negligence if
00:39:00this happens again.
00:39:04Understood, General. I'll accept any punishment. Thank you for your mercy.
00:39:11Mother. Clara. Let's go home now.
00:39:23Mother.
00:39:31Gabrielle, I want to be strong just like you. That way, I can protect myself and mother.
00:39:49Don't worry. These men are my soldiers.
00:39:53Greetings, General Reeds!
00:39:56What is it?
00:39:57General Reeds. His Majesty is here. He's in the city. He'll preside over your investiture himself.
00:40:03Quick, take me to His Majesty.
00:40:05Yes, sir.
00:40:07Mother. Clara. Get yourselves cleaned up. You must go see him. Someone will pick you up shortly.
00:40:12Okay.
00:40:32General Reeds!
00:40:33General Reeds, I beg you for justice! General Reeds, please help me. I beg you!
00:40:39Ma'am. Stand up please.
00:40:42Tell me what happened to you.
00:40:48Tell me what happened to you.
00:40:50My husband was a sergeant in the Crimson Legion before.
00:40:53He was badly wounded in battle and was left disabled.
00:40:56He was discharged after that.
00:40:59But some corrupt official has stolen every last cent of our pension.
00:41:03Now my husband's sick at home and we can't afford treatment.
00:41:06Even our child can barely get a meal now.
00:41:09I swear, everything I said is true.
00:41:13General, I recall the Crimson Legion did have a man by that name.
00:41:17He was seriously wounded in battle and he was sent home.
00:41:20His pension was ten gold bars.
00:41:22They were already sent to the local pensions office.
00:41:26Ma'am, can you please take me to your home?
00:41:29Don't worry, if what you say is true, I, Gabriel Reed, will see justice done.
00:41:33If not, I'd be failing a hundred thousand Crimson soldiers.
00:41:37Thank you, General Reed.
00:41:49Father, is the story about the war hero real?
00:41:52Of course it is.
00:41:54Every one of us has a duty to serve our country.
00:41:57But father, you ended up like this for our country.
00:42:00Why won't the country help us?
00:42:02They let people push us around and now we live like this.
00:42:05My classmate's father is a merchant.
00:42:07He trades with foreign partners and he makes a fortune.
00:42:10He already dropped out of school.
00:42:13Sweetheart, without a country, there's no home.
00:42:16If no one defends our country from enemies, then who protects your mother?
00:42:21Your grandpa, your grandma, even your friends and teachers.
00:42:25I understand now, father.
00:42:32Hey Henry, it's time to pay the interest.
00:42:45Hey Henry, it's time to pay the interest.
00:42:50Hey Henry, it's time to pay the interest.
00:43:06But this is only 80 coins.
00:43:08It's not enough.
00:43:11But it's always been 80 coins before, right?
00:43:1580?
00:43:17That was last month's rate.
00:43:19Now it's 120 coins.
00:43:21What's that?
00:43:23You...
00:43:24How could you do this?
00:43:29You know you talk way too much.
00:43:31I hate it.
00:43:32This is my turn.
00:43:33I'm in command.
00:43:34So why set the price I want?
00:43:36I'm telling you.
00:43:37You better hand over the money to me.
00:43:40Or else...
00:43:41Just hand over your daughter to me instead.
00:43:45Then we can forget the other 40 coins.
00:43:48How do you even know you changed then?
00:43:50If anyone touches Emily, I'll fight them to death.
00:43:54Fight me, huh?
00:43:59Your miserable life is not even worth a damn dime.
00:44:03Huh?
00:44:04I'm telling you.
00:44:05You better hand your daughter over to me.
00:44:08I promise.
00:44:10I'll take real good care of your daughter.
00:44:13You Christmas bastard!
00:44:15Father!
00:44:16Do you still think dying for your country was worth it?
00:44:18If you hadn't served until it broke you, our family wouldn't be treated like this.
00:44:23My father is a hero.
00:44:25He bled on the battlefield just for this country.
00:44:27And now you humiliate him and humiliate his family?
00:44:31Emily!
00:44:31You really have no shame, do you?
00:44:33A hero?
00:44:35He's a hero!
00:44:36So heroes don't have to pay protection money.
00:44:39Huh?
00:44:41You little witch!
00:44:43Drag that little brat out of this place!
00:44:44Emily!
00:44:45No!
00:44:45Take it away!
00:44:48Emily!
00:44:50I'm useless.
00:44:51I'll die fighting them!
00:44:54Father!
00:44:58Worthless!
00:44:58Father!
00:45:04Father!
00:45:06Don't move!
00:45:07Come here!
00:45:09Where do you even get the nerve?
00:45:11To bully a Crimson Legion soldier?
00:45:14Don't you know who I am?
00:45:16How dare you hit me like that!
00:45:19I'll make sure you'll pay for this!
00:45:32Move!
00:45:36Elections have been so poor this month.
00:45:40No wonder we're only getting one pension payout now.
00:45:43It's just a few hundred silver.
00:45:45That's barely enough for me.
00:45:47Mr. Quinn!
00:45:48The border wars have just ended!
00:45:50Nobody's dying out there!
00:45:52So there are no new pension claims!
00:45:54But you know, I raised the rent on those veterans who went back to farming!
00:45:59That should bring in a nice sum!
00:46:02Well done, Brian!
00:46:04Tell me, how about the...
00:46:05Land seizures?
00:46:07I was just about to mention that.
00:46:09Some stubborn folks won't cooperate.
00:46:11It's quite tricky.
00:46:13Huh?
00:46:16They won't cooperate!
00:46:17Uh-huh!
00:46:19Then you should take it by force!
00:46:20Get rid of those who gots in the way!
00:46:22Of course!
00:46:23That land has a buyer offering a thousand in gold!
00:46:26Huh?
00:46:27Okay, alright!
00:46:28Come on!
00:46:29Take me to see it now!
00:46:31Which fool is dumb enough to stand in the way of the law?
00:46:36Anyone else who won't fall in line, just drown them all up!
00:46:39Exactly!
00:46:40Throw them in jail!
00:46:41A little misery will set them straight!
00:46:43Yes, sir!
00:46:50Henry, I failed you!
00:46:52And every crimson soldier!
00:46:54You...
00:46:55You are...
00:46:57I, Henry Moss, pay respects to General Vance!
00:47:05Darling, I found your general!
00:47:09General Reeds!
00:47:21Henry!
00:47:23Henry!
00:47:30Henry!
00:47:35Year 221 of Imperial Calendar, the Crimson Legion Skyhawk Division and Dragon Division
00:47:40reportedly clashed with Barbarians of Lamo Plains.
00:47:43The enemy's main force was wiped out, but our losses were heavy.
00:47:47Dragon Division Sergeant Henry Moss killed 25 enemies, including an enemy captain.
00:47:53He lost an arm after being wounded.
00:48:04Who gave you the right to interfere with us?
00:48:06Get out here now!
00:48:07Yeah, get out!
00:48:13Who gave you the right to interfere with me, huh?
00:48:17Don't tell me you're the Crimson Legion!
00:48:19Huh? Listen to me, okay?
00:48:21I know exactly how to deal with soldiers like you.
00:48:24Be glad I'm only charging you a little interest.
00:48:27Piss me off and you won't see a sense of your pension.
00:48:30All of you, you're dressed like your big shots.
00:48:33What is this?
00:48:34Buddy on a show here, huh?
00:48:36What are you guys?
00:48:37A general or something?
00:48:38What's so funny, huh?
00:48:40I won't be fooled by you!
00:48:41You bastard!
00:48:42You dare insult General Reed's?
00:48:44You're asking for it!
00:48:48Get them!
00:48:54You are going to beat themselves this way!
00:48:56No!
00:49:01No!
00:49:03No!
00:49:05No!
00:49:07No!
00:49:07No!
00:49:08No!
00:49:09No!
00:49:11No!
00:49:13No!
00:49:13Let's all see who the hell is messing with the Soldiers and all of their military pensions.
00:49:20Get to the truth.
00:49:21No matter who it is, this is a travesty.
00:49:24I owe the Crimson Legion an answer.
00:49:26Roger that.
00:49:28This day has finally come.
00:49:30Madam Wayne, this is bad.
00:49:33Someone's tearing down the memorial.
00:49:35What did you say?
00:49:36What are we going to do now?
00:49:38Jane, what's going on here?
00:49:41Someone's trying to tear down the Soldiers' Memorial in the East.
00:49:44My father and brother are both buried there.
00:49:46What's that?
00:49:47How dare they do this kind of thing?
00:49:49This is outrageous.
00:49:50That memorial you're mentioning belongs to the Crimson Legion.
00:49:54Jane, I promise you that I'll secure that land for you.
00:49:58Thank you, General.
00:49:59Jane, there's no need for that.
00:50:02Every soldier in the Crimson Legion, they are all my comrades.
00:50:05If someone goes after them, I'll make sure that I fight to my last breath.
00:50:13Aria, Damon, let's go.
00:50:15Yes, sir.
00:50:26Destroy everything now!
00:50:28Yes!
00:50:31Destroy it!
00:50:34Oh no!
00:50:35You shameless bastards!
00:50:36Wait!
00:50:37What are you doing?
00:50:38Help me!
00:50:40Stop it!
00:50:40You can't tear this down!
00:50:42This is a memorial for fallen soldiers!
00:50:45If you tear this down, I'll be sure to die here today!
00:50:51It can't destroy my husband's final resting place like this!
00:50:57You, this is a memorial for all the fallen soldiers!
00:51:00It was bestowed by the Emperor to all of us!
00:51:03So, how dare you do this!
00:51:05If you tear it down, I'll press charges against all of you!
00:51:12You, this is a memorial for all the fallen soldiers!
00:51:15It was bestowed by the Emperor to all of us!
00:51:18So, how dare you do this!
00:51:20If you tear it down, I'll press charges against all of you!
00:51:23Well, what did you say?
00:51:24What did you say?
00:51:26Press charges against me?
00:51:30Mr. Crane is the law here!
00:51:31And I'm backed by him!
00:51:32Don't you realize that, huh?
00:51:34Listen to me!
00:51:35Even if I kill you, you won't have anywhere to turn to!
00:51:38Do you understand?
00:51:39Let's see who else among you wants to press charges against me now!
00:51:43Step forward!
00:51:44Anyone else?
00:51:45Get them out of here!
00:51:46All of them!
00:51:47Go!
00:51:48Come!
00:51:49Go!
00:51:50Go!
00:51:50Get out!
00:51:51Go!
00:51:52Get out!
00:51:54Get out!
00:51:56Get out!
00:52:02Get out!
00:52:03Get out!
00:52:04Get out!
00:52:04Get out!
00:52:04Get out!
00:52:04Get out!
00:52:05Get out!
00:52:05Look at those people!
00:52:08Oh, my son!
00:52:10You'll have to step over our bodies to get through!
00:52:13Get out!
00:52:13You worthless bastards!
00:52:14Stop them now!
00:52:17Tear it all down!
00:52:18Tear it all down!
00:52:21You won't get through us!
00:52:23It has to go over me!
00:52:24The loss!
00:52:25Even if it cost me everything, even my life!
00:52:27I won't let you through!
00:52:29I'll fight you to the end!
00:52:31It's a good loss!
00:52:33I'll fight you until the end!
00:52:36David!
00:52:37Look at this old hag!
00:52:38Hey, you worthless hag!
00:52:40You're really asking for death, huh?
00:52:42If that's what you really want, kill this woman off!
00:52:49Yes, sir!
00:52:49You worthless hag!
00:52:50You're really asking for death, huh?
00:52:53If that's what you really want, kill this woman off!
00:52:55Yes, sir!
00:52:56Hey!
00:53:08Huh?!
00:53:09Huh?!
00:53:10Huh?!
00:53:10Huh?!
00:53:11Huh?!
00:53:11Huh?!
00:53:13Huh?!
00:53:13Huh?!
00:53:14Stop what you're doing!
00:53:18Who the hell are you to stop us, huh?!
00:53:31Go ahead! Go and kill that busybody! I'll handle it if anything goes wrong!
00:53:39Go ahead! Go and kill that busybody! I'll handle it if anything goes wrong!
00:54:05Ah! Serves them right!
00:54:11You're right!
00:54:13Oh no!
00:54:14You shameless bastards! You killed someone in front of me while obstructing Imperial Land Seizure!
00:54:18I can have you arrested at Exxon from here!
00:54:21How dare you do that! Listen to me, huh?
00:54:24Since you're obstructing an Imperial Land Seizure, Mr. Quinn is cutting off all your pensions from now on!
00:54:31You won't get a single cent from it!
00:54:32No! You can't do that to us! My whole family depends on that pension to survive!
00:54:37My grandson depends on it for school! You can't cut it off!
00:54:40That's right! You can't do that! That pension belongs to us!
00:54:45Who are you to say that? Military pensions are official funds issued by the Court for Soldiers' Families.
00:54:52By Imperial Law, they're paid in a lump sum to registered households.
00:54:55Since when do you have the authority to change them to monthly payments, huh?
00:54:59Huh? By law, huh?
00:55:03I decide how the pensions are paid here! Monthly if I want it that way! Even no payments, if that's
00:55:09what I want!
00:55:13Huh? By law, huh?
00:55:17I decide how the pensions are paid here! Monthly if I want it that way! Even no payments, if that's
00:55:24what I want!
00:55:24Let me tell you the truth! He is Mr. Quinn from the Military Pensions Office!
00:55:31This matter is under his control! What he says is the law to be followed!
00:55:36Huh? What do we do now?
00:55:37What if we can't get it back? Is that true?
00:55:40Alright, alright! I'll give all of you one last chance, okay? Disperse immediately!
00:55:46The military pensions will still be paid monthly! I'll give extra 30 coins for each household!
00:55:51I'll give extra 30 coins!
00:55:52Go and leave! Hurry, all of you! Get lost now! Quick! Move!
00:55:56Wait a moment!
00:55:57Huh?
00:55:58Our soldiers fought for over 12 years, spilling their blood across the country!
00:56:03Only then did we achieve peace and prosperity!
00:56:06Yet you trespassed into the resting place of our fallen soldiers!
00:56:09What audacity you have!
00:56:11Heh! Why is it you again? Huh?
00:56:14You bunch of unruly commoners! I've reasoned with you!
00:56:17Do you think they're bluffing? Huh?
00:56:19Brian! Here!
00:56:21From today onward!
00:56:23Stop everyone's pension payments!
00:56:25Globalize the troops now!
00:56:28Move!
00:56:29Just you wait! I'd see who dares stop struck when I want!
00:56:32Summon the troops here!
00:56:35Damon, I'm here!
00:56:38Come here!
00:56:39Huh?
00:56:49What are you doing?
00:56:51I am Mr. Quinn! From the military pensions! How dare you do this!
00:56:55Ah!
00:56:56Ah!
00:56:58Ah!
00:57:01Ah!
00:57:02Ah!
00:57:02What are you doing?
00:57:03I am Mr. Quinn! From the military pensions! How dare you do this!
00:57:07Ah!
00:57:08Ah!
00:57:09Ah!
00:57:11I clearly heard what you said to us!
00:57:14Ah!
00:57:15The pensions of those soldiers have all been embezzled by you!
00:57:18Monthly payment if you want to, no payments if you say so!
00:57:22What do you think you're doing?
00:57:24Do you think you're the law here, huh?
00:57:25Who the hell are you?
00:57:27The one who won all battles of the Southern Waste,
00:57:30and granted the Divine General title by His Majesty!
00:57:33Open your damn eyes!
00:57:34Ah!
00:57:35The Divine General?
00:57:37The person standing before you is not only the Divine General appointed by His Majesty,
00:57:41but also General Reeds of the Crimson Legion!
00:57:43Huh?
00:57:44What was your General Reeds?
00:57:46Huh?
00:57:47General Reeds?
00:57:47We're safe now!
00:57:52That's impossible!
00:57:53Why you old General Reeds be here?
00:57:55Impossible!
00:57:56Answer me.
00:57:57Who gave you the audacity to embezzle military pensions of the soldiers?
00:58:02Is there a mastermind behind you?
00:58:08The General is asking me.
00:58:11I?
00:58:12Speak!
00:58:14Enough!
00:58:16It's nothing but a minor pawn.
00:58:18There's someone bigger who's behind you, isn't there?
00:58:21For you wouldn't keep your mouth shut like this.
00:58:24The person must be holding a very powerful position to keep you silent and protected.
00:58:29You have an outrageous audacity to reach their hand into this and even embezzle the pensions
00:58:35of my soldiers!
00:58:35I don't care who you are.
00:58:37I, Gabriel Reeds, will capture you and make sure that justice is served.
00:58:41Take him away!
00:58:42Interrogate him!
00:58:43Find all his accomplices and execute them!
00:59:01General!
00:59:01General!
00:59:02I was wrong!
00:59:02Please!
00:59:03Spare me, sir!
00:59:03General!
00:59:04I was wrong!
00:59:06General!
00:59:15Heaven and Earth can't bear you kneeling in front of the memorial!
00:59:27This memorial is the iron monument of our country!
00:59:32I, Gabriel Reeds, swear, whoever dares touch this, I will sever their hands!
00:59:37Whoever dares disturb this, I'll use their blood to honor it!
00:59:41My dear soldiers, open your eyes, look upon this land!
00:59:48First bow is to the soil that holds the bones!
00:59:57Second bow is to the unyielding souls and not to the gods!
01:00:05Third bow is for our country to flourish forever, not for immortality!
01:00:23This toast is to the light of dawn that shines upon our land!
01:00:33This toast is to the iron wielded souls beneath our ground!
01:00:43This toast is to the countless people who stand behind me!
01:00:49Nerd!
01:00:51Oh man!
01:00:55Slow!
01:00:56Slow!
01:00:56Slow!
01:00:57command! General! Investigate this. Distribute all the treasury funds to them. Ensure they receive
01:01:04it. Restore the Crimson Legion's memorial to console the spirits of our fallen. Thank you General Moody's!
01:01:10Thank you Divine General!
01:01:23Oliver of the military pensions was the forced demolition instigated by you. The evidence is
01:01:30concrete for embezzling the pensions. Do you admit to these accusations? General! I'm just falsely accused as
01:01:40for the memorial. Someone wanted the land for commercial use. I had no choice so I ordered it.
01:01:47As for the military pensions, I was only following orders. I had no choice but to follow him. Please
01:01:53look into this matter General!
01:01:55Following orders? Whose orders are those? Speak truthfully!
01:02:02You say you're just following? Huh. The silver you embezzled was bought with the lives of troops and
01:02:09soldiers. The land you seized is the final resting place of all their fallen souls. Can
01:02:15following orders wash away your crimes completely? Speak! Who is behind you? Tell the truth!
01:02:23I-I-I-I can't say it! If I say it, my entire family will be killed!
01:02:30Do you really think that stayed silent will save all of you? Embezzling military funds and pension!
01:02:37Under the military law, three generations of kin will be executed! Do you think your master-
01:02:42can really protect you?
01:03:01Hmph!
01:03:03Just tell me his name. General Reed's may grant you a quick death and spare all your family members' lives.
01:03:10Otherwise...
01:03:11Hmph!
01:03:12The Crimson Legion's methods for dealing with spies will make you wish that you should have died
01:03:19instead of experiencing it.
01:03:21Uh, okay, okay, okay, I'll say it! I'll tell you! It's someone from Eldoria! It's Carter!
01:03:30There's an assassin!
01:03:31Ah!
01:03:56General, this is my failure.
01:03:58That assassin is highly skilled and extremely familiar here.
01:04:02It is appeared we failed to capture him.
01:04:05Oliver said Carter before he took his last breath.
01:04:08Carter?
01:04:09The Carters are powerful officials in Eldoria.
01:04:12The most prominent is the Imperial Consort, the Empress's elder brother, Edward Carter, the Minister.
01:04:18He oversees the nation's finances, taxation, military funding, and pension distribution.
01:04:27The Carters are powerful officials in Eldoria.
01:04:30The most prominent is the Imperial Consort, the Empress's elder brother, Edward Carter, the Minister.
01:04:37He oversees the nation's finances, taxation, military funding, and pension distribution.
01:04:44Edward Carter, Imperial Consort, Minister of Revenue.
01:04:49Good.
01:04:50Very good.
01:04:52You have quite the reach, huh?
01:04:54You dare kill before my very eyes?
01:04:58Oliver may be dead, but these account books do not lie.
01:05:02Arya, send people immediately.
01:05:04Probe the pensions office and audit past records.
01:05:07Focus on the Crimson Legion and the Border Troops.
01:05:09Check every single pension payment, one by one if needed, to know the truth.
01:05:13I want to know how much of the soldiers' money has ended up in the pockets of these men.
01:05:18Understood.
01:05:19I will handle it, General.
01:05:21Damon, take a team of elite men.
01:05:24Expand the investigation.
01:05:26Cover Bayshore and the surrounding places.
01:05:28Collect evidence related to pension, seizure of military land, and any abuse suffered by soldiers' families.
01:05:34But do not alert them.
01:05:36I want to know how large this network really is.
01:05:39Aside from Oliver, who else is involved in this?
01:05:42How are they connected to their superiors, Mr. Carter?
01:05:45I accept the order.
01:05:46This must be reported to his majesty.
01:05:49These parasites are feeding on the lives of our soldiers, shaking its foundation.
01:05:54No matter their background or what position they hold, I, Gabriel Reeds, will uproot them completely to honor the Crimson
01:06:02Legion's fallen soldiers.
01:06:09Your majesty, every word I have said is true.
01:06:12I have witnesses and evidence, including records from the pensions office.
01:06:16Our soldiers die on the front lines, yet their families are exploited and bullied.
01:06:20Pensions embezzled, the fallen dishonored.
01:06:23Oliver is dead, but court officials may be behind him.
01:06:26If this isn't stopped, army morale will collapse, shaking the nation.
01:06:30I humbly request your permission to investigate.
01:06:32Whoever is involved must be punished.
01:06:35To uphold the law and restore the army's morale.
01:06:38Gabriel, what you have said are all understood.
01:06:41Our soldiers are the pillars of the nation.
01:06:43Their blood mustn't be shed in vain.
01:06:45Their families must not be bullied.
01:06:47So I approve your request.
01:06:49I grant you a golden token of my presence.
01:06:52All military and civil officials in Bayshore and three prefectures must cooperate with you.
01:06:59However, Edward Carter, the Imperial Consort, is a key figure and the Empress's brother.
01:07:05Without solid evidence, do not take him lightly.
01:07:08I expect a thorough investigation with irrefutable proof.
01:07:11If his guilt is confirmed, I have no choice but to show him no mercy.
01:07:17Your majesty, I accept it.
01:07:19I will not fail your trust.
01:07:21I will uncover the full truth on this.
01:07:27That useless Oliver almost ruined everything.
01:07:28Master's orders.
01:07:28I have no choice but to show him no mercy.
01:07:28I have no choice but to show him no mercy.
01:07:30I have no choice but to show him no mercy.
01:07:32Your majesty, I accept it.
01:07:34I will not fail your trust.
01:07:36I will uncover the full truth on this.
01:07:48That useless Oliver almost ruined everything.
01:07:51Master's orders, all related to the account books and letters, must be destroyed now.
01:07:56Leave no evidence against us to Gabriel.
01:07:58Do not worry.
01:07:59Most of it has been taken care of.
01:08:01The last few entries in Bayshore remain.
01:08:03They'll be settled tomorrow.
01:08:08Go inside!
01:08:20Fake lead thinks something, but no plan is flawless.
01:08:24Report this to the general now.
01:08:27Yes, sir.
01:08:31General, the accounts from the Pensions Office are meticulous.
01:08:35On the surface, there are no visible issues.
01:08:37But after comparing them with the War Ministry's records and the Prefecture's distribution records,
01:08:42I found a major discrepancy on the record.
01:08:45In the past three years, nearly 30% of all funds allocated in Bayshore have gone missing.
01:08:50The funds allocated to Crimson Legion show the most losses.
01:08:54Moreover, all the suspicious fund transfers plead back to Eldoria to merchants never formally investigated.
01:09:04General, we tracked down a merchant group.
01:09:07Their base in Bayshore is the warehouse from last night.
01:09:09They quickly reacted.
01:09:11They were clearly tipped off, sir.
01:09:13Look, General.
01:09:14Although this piece of paper is torn, the seal imprint is finely crafted.
01:09:18No ordinary merchant would use this.
01:09:19It's likely a variant of an official seal.
01:09:22Officials and merchants colluding with each other.
01:09:25It seemingly follows proper procedures, but it launders embezzled pensions.
01:09:30Impressive method.
01:09:31Oliver was nothing more than a pawn placed out front.
01:09:34The real masterminds are hiding in Eldoria behind those respectable trading houses.
01:09:40General, Eldoria is dangerous.
01:09:42Edward is deeply entrenched and backed by the Imperial Court.
01:09:45Even though we have His Majesty's token.
01:09:47Without solid evidence, if we rush to investigate, we may face obstacles or even be framed instead.
01:09:53Do not forget.
01:09:54These pensions are meant to reach the families of soldiers.
01:09:58Every coin that was stolen represents a family that's been deprived and oppressed.
01:10:03Damon, go to Bayshore now.
01:10:06Gather whatever evidence there is, especially from families of soldiers who've been mistreated.
01:10:11Their testimonies are crucial too.
01:10:13Also, keep a close watch on officials and merchants, possibly linked to Eldoria.
01:10:18Yes, sir!
01:10:19Arya, take my token and meet His Majesty.
01:10:22Make contact with officials from the War Ministry and Ministry of Revenue,
01:10:25those who are at odds with Edward among lower ranks.
01:10:27Also, reach out to the censorate who aren't afraid.
01:10:31We need more leads and more points of breaking.
01:10:34Understood.
01:10:41This has moved from the frontier to the court.
01:10:45But for the countless soldiers behind us and their families,
01:10:51I, Gabriel Reeds, will not retreat.
01:10:53This corruption must be eradicated the soonest.
01:11:00This has moved from the frontier to the court.
01:11:04But for the countless soldiers behind us and their families,
01:11:10I, Gabriel Reeds, will not retreat.
01:11:13This corruption must be eradicated the soonest.
01:11:18Mr. Carter, Oliver is now dead.
01:11:21But, before he died, he may have mentioned the carcass.
01:11:24Gabriel has obtained His Majesty's token and is secretly investigated.
01:11:30Gabriel is nothing more than a soldier.
01:11:32He thinks his merit lets him defy a great power like me?
01:11:35This is so ridiculous!
01:11:37Does he really plan to audit the pensions?
01:11:40Then he'll prepare a gift for him within those very accounts.
01:11:44Go, release the set of account books you prepared earlier.
01:11:47Make sure a few of the censored officials accidentally come across them.
01:11:53Remember, it must look like Gabriel is trying to frame in a hurry but instead,
01:11:57what happens is he exposes his own flaws by doing so.
01:12:02Yes sir, and also, there are a few elders in Bayshore who know the truth.
01:12:06Do you think we should?
01:12:08No, no, no, no, no need for that.
01:12:11If you make too much noise, it'll arouse suspicion.
01:12:14Is Gabriel not looking for victims too?
01:12:16Then let him find them because a few commoners testimonies will never be enough to bring me down.
01:12:23What truly matters is the opinion at court.
01:12:27Handle it now!
01:12:35General, based on several officials contacted from the War Ministry and Ministry of Personnel,
01:12:40it is revealed that Edward is cautious.
01:12:42No direct evidence against him, but he has a habit of collecting antiques,
01:12:47especially ancient inkstones.
01:12:54Antiques, their value is immeasurable, a perfect way to conceal wealth.
01:12:59Can we dig deeper?
01:13:03But he has a habit of collecting antiques, especially ancient inkstones.
01:13:08He owns several antique shops with large sums flowing through,
01:13:11it's believed to be laundering funds.
01:13:13Antiques, their value is immeasurable,
01:13:15a perfect way to conceal wealth.
01:13:18Can we dig deeper?
01:13:19The largest he has is Ink House.
01:13:21The manager of the shop is Edward's relative.
01:13:23A possible lead.
01:13:25But security is a bit tight.
01:13:27It's hard to get close.
01:13:29Then don't approach the shop directly.
01:13:32Damon is in Bayshore right now.
01:13:34Some businesses linked to Eldoria.
01:13:35One of them is Goldcrest Trading.
01:13:37They sell silk openly, but may really be dealing with Ink House in secret.
01:13:42I'll inform Damon to investigate, trading in detail.
01:13:45I'll also tell him to check Ink House's suppliers and buyers.
01:13:50Work both angles.
01:13:51We're short on time.
01:13:53We have support, but court pressure is rising.
01:13:56We must secure evidence as fast as we can before Edward strikes.
01:14:00Yes, sir.
01:14:03Mr. Cole, I heard that you were sidelined before because you accidentally offended Edward.
01:14:10But all of that is in the past now.
01:14:12However, I have heard of the matter that you asked about.
01:14:16Relief funds go from Minister of Revenue to the War Ministry, then local offices.
01:14:20It has many stages.
01:14:21Mr. Carter is skilled with numbers.
01:14:23He makes small adjustments under excuses like conversion, losses, or even price control.
01:14:29That's what I know about.
01:14:31Small amounts add up to huge sums of money.
01:14:33He moves the money through trading houses and the accounts look really flawless.
01:14:37But where would key evidence be kept, like ledgers or secret letters?
01:14:41He is a very cautious person.
01:14:43Important items stay with him or kept by his trusted aides.
01:14:46There may be a hidden room in his study, but his residence is heavily guarded now.
01:14:51To add to that, he visits Peace Monastery to burn incense.
01:14:54He spends half a day there while his attendants remain outside.
01:14:57It is suspicious.
01:14:59Peace Monastery...
01:15:12Mr. Cold, you may go.
01:15:21I'll speak to you in my return.
01:15:22Alright.
01:15:29General, Damon has sent word to us.
01:15:32Goldcrest Trading and Ink House have large unexplained transactions.
01:15:35And furthermore, Goldcrest Trading's cheap goods are sold in Eldoria as antiques through Ink House
01:15:39and with extremely higher price tags.
01:15:41A huge difference.
01:15:42More importantly, they have found a bookkeeper of Goldcrest Trading.
01:15:45He was forced out over profit disputes.
01:15:47That's why he's willing to testify.
01:15:49He also handed over a copy of accounts.
01:15:51Several large expenditures are listed, including Carter residence and pensions converted to silver.
01:15:55Where are those records now?
01:15:57Damon is secretly escorting him and the account copied to Eldoria.
01:16:00They should arrive in about three days.
01:16:03Good.
01:16:04This is a major breakthrough.
01:16:06I want you to assign our most skilled and discreet men to investigate the Peace Monastery at once.
01:16:11Be very cautious.
01:16:12Do not alert anyone.
01:16:13Understood.
01:16:16Mr. Carter, there is news from Ink House, sir.
01:16:19Secret inquiries have been made about major transactions, especially those related to Goldcrest.
01:16:25Gabriel is moving rather quickly.
01:16:28The bookkeeper's surname Brooke from Goldcrest has not been captured.
01:16:31Traces of his escape have been found.
01:16:33He is heading toward Eldoria.
01:16:35Reliable men have been sent to deal with them.
01:16:38Make sure he's intercepted.
01:16:40Alive or dead, I want him found, okay?
01:16:42And also, send a message into the palace.
01:16:46Ask our majesty if we can mention before the emperor that a frontier general,
01:16:51flush with success, fiddles in state affairs.
01:16:54He's questionable.
01:16:55Yes, sir.
01:16:56As for the Peace Monastery...
01:16:58Eh, everything there is normal.
01:17:00No need to visit it now.
01:17:02If Gabriel investigates that place, it may actually work for us.
01:17:07Huh?
01:17:15Everything there is normal.
01:17:17No need to visit it now.
01:17:19If Gabriel investigates that place, it may actually work for us.
01:17:23Never mind.
01:17:34Ah!
01:17:38Ha!
01:17:39It's an ambush.
01:17:47Protect the witness.
01:17:48Attack!
01:17:49A-HA!
01:17:50A-HA!
01:17:51A-HA!
01:17:52A-HA!
01:17:52Attack!
01:17:53A-ha!
01:18:03Who goes there?
01:18:18General Reeds, what brings you here?
01:18:21I was concerned. It seems they're desperate.
01:18:23To silence the witness, we can't stay long. Go to a safe location now.
01:18:27General Reeds, this is the account book. I recorded this without anyone's knowledge.
01:18:32Goldcrest Trading funnels money to the carters. That is the evidence. Most of it is found there.
01:18:39Mr. Book, on behalf of countless soldiers, I thank you for your courage.
01:18:48General, according to this accounts, this past four years, through Goldcrest Trading and Inkhouse, it is suspected embezzled pension funds.
01:18:57I've reached over two million silver dollars. Several entries point to Edward's close associates. Some even show records handled by
01:19:03his brother-in-law.
01:19:05The Peace Monastery team has reported back. Nothing unusual, but behind it is a private residence, used by Carter Residence's
01:19:11women. It's heavily guarded.
01:19:13When our men approached, they triggered a mechanism, so they stopped there.
01:19:17All these markings, they correspond to some item numbering system, antiques.
01:19:27Edward's most critical assets are most likely hidden either in Inkhouse or the Peace Monastery.
01:19:34The tight security confirms our suspicion. With this hidden ledger alone, we can already charge him, but to prove large
01:19:41-scale embezzlement and expose the entire network, we still need the original records or their confidential correspondence.
01:19:48General, neither location can be taken by force. Inkhouse is in a busy district, and Peace Monastery involves religious figures.
01:19:55If we cause a disturbance, we may be falsely accused.
01:19:59If force doesn't work, we will strategize. With our investigation getting so close to them, he must be on edge.
01:20:06Is it possible he'll check these key pieces of evidence?
01:20:08Very likely. Especially if he learns that Mr. Brooke has been rescued.
01:20:13Maria, increase surveillance. Keep watch on the Carter Residence, Inkhouse, and Peace Monastery. Look for Edward especially, and his most
01:20:20trusted associates.
01:20:21Understood.
01:20:24Damon, prepare your elite unit. Remain on standby. We're waiting for an opportunity.
01:20:28For him to lead us to the location of the key.
01:20:31Yes, sir.
01:20:37Understood.
01:20:37Damon, prepare your elite unit. Remain on standby. We're waiting for an opportunity. For him to lead us to the
01:20:43location of the key.
01:20:46Understood.
01:20:46Yes, sir.
01:20:54Mr. Carter. The interception failed. Mr. Brooke was personally rescued by Gabriel. The ledger likely fell into his hands. In
01:21:05addition, we have noticed that several locations are being watched by unknown individuals.
01:21:11Gabriel, you're truly pushing me to the brink now, huh? This hidden ledger can point to Goldcrest trading, but it's
01:21:17not enough to bring me down. If they follow the trail further, that means we cannot wait any longer.
01:21:26You'll personally go to the underground vault of Inkhouse. Take everything from cabinet. C3 and cabinet E1, you understand? All
01:21:34letters and account books there. Place them in those specially made copper chests that's firing.
01:21:39Before dawn tomorrow, use the transfer of old goods as covered. And join the convoy out of Eldoria. Travel by
01:21:45sea and hand trade to replicate.
01:21:47What about Peace Monastery?
01:21:49That matter is the most critical, you know. But moving now will only raise Gabriel's suspicion. You must handle Inkhouse
01:21:58first, alright? As for Peace Monastery, I will find an opportunity.
01:22:14Who are you people? Are you trying to rob us?
01:22:18We're under Imperial order. What's being transported?
01:22:23Bestow discarded records.
01:22:29Hey! Hey, don't!
01:22:36Stop!
01:22:38Stop!
01:23:05Hmm. Evidence is conclusive. Seize them. Go to the Carter residence.
01:23:13Hmm. Evidence is conclusive. Seize them. Go to the Carter residence.
01:23:21I report under Imperial decree. We can confirm.
01:23:24Edward Carter, Minister of Revenue, abuses authority, used administrations, imposed excessive levies, and imbezzled pension funds meant for border troops.
01:23:32Total exceeds four million. Countless soldiers' orphans are left unsupported. The fallen are dishonored.
01:23:39Here are Edward's handwritten secret letters, including his hidden merchant ledger, plus witness testimony and evidence. Please review, Your Majesty.
01:24:05I am strongly accused. I am just being framed by General Gabriel. A general interfering in court and accusing an
01:24:12official. His intentions are really unforgivable.
01:24:18Your Majesty. Your Majesty. Hundreds have gathered outside the palace. Most are border troop families. They are holding blood petitions,
01:24:26pleading for Your Majesty to punish officials who embezzled their pensions, and to restore justice for the fallen soldiers.
01:24:45You, Edward. I gave you one last chance. My load of soldiers shed their blood for the nation, dying on
01:24:53the battlefield.
01:24:54And yet, while their bodies were cold and helpless. And yet, while their bodies were cold and helpless, You have
01:24:57fed on their families' tears.
01:24:59This crime defies all reason. This crime defies all reason. This crime defies all reason. This can't be forgiven.
01:25:07You, Edward. I gave you one last chance. My load of soldiers shed their blood for the nation, dying on
01:25:14the battlefield.
01:25:15And yet, and yet, while their bodies were cold and helpless. You have fed on their families' tears. This crime
01:25:22defies all reason. This can't be forgiven.
01:25:26Edward Carter, the Minister of Revenue, corrupt and has abused. His power on a massive scale, with severe consequences.
01:25:33He has hereby stripped of all titles and positions. Justice Ministry Imperial Tribunal, and the censorate for a joint trial.
01:25:40He shall be punished.
01:25:42All of his associates too.
01:25:44All imbezzled silver is to be fully recovered and double the compensation is to be paid to the widows and
01:25:50families of the soldiers.
01:25:52I will make this judgment public before the nation to enforce the law, comfort the fallen, and uphold justice.
01:26:01Your majesty is wise.
01:26:03Mr. Gabriel Reeds, Divine General, has uncovered this case.
01:26:08His service benefits the state. Reward him.
01:26:10Your majesty, I do not seek rewards.
01:26:13I only ask that you allow me to use this case to launch a full investigation, reform all abuses, establish
01:26:20an independent body, and increase the compensation standards for fallen soldiers.
01:26:24Record your deeds so loyal souls may find peace and support.
01:26:27This is my wish, and that of countless soldiers.
01:26:30That's approved.
01:26:31This matter shall be led by you in cooperation with War Ministry, Revenue, and Ministry of personnel.
01:26:40Your majesty, I accept the decree.
01:27:19And this world will become worth protecting.
