00:00:13Strike now!
00:00:15Strike now!
00:00:22Did we get it?
00:00:30Hold the line! Don't let that thing breach the village!
00:00:45The sword saint!
00:00:48Casper's finally here!
00:01:03Casper!
00:01:04Come on!
00:01:07Casper!
00:01:08Casper!
00:01:10Casper!
00:01:16Forgive me, old friend.
00:01:19I'm too late.
00:01:21My final wish.
00:01:25Promise me.
00:01:30Today, the Empire honors its eternal shield, a name destined to echo through the songs of generations.
00:01:37Behold, our dragon slayer, sword saint Casper!
00:01:47What's happening?
00:01:48What's happening?
00:01:50What's going on?
00:01:55Your Majesty, the sword saint has vanished.
00:02:07Beautiful work with the roses today, Agri.
00:02:20The name Casper dies today.
00:02:22It only draws blood.
00:02:24Rest easy, old friend.
00:02:26From now on, I am just Agri.
00:02:28And I swear to you, your daughter will be safe.
00:02:38Damn it!
00:02:39Channeling sword aura is impossible.
00:02:41Hard for a peasant, maybe.
00:02:51Whoa, Lance, you actually pulled her at your age?
00:02:53That's a true knight's bloodline for you.
00:02:54My father is a veteran knight.
00:02:56I've been swinging steel since I could walk.
00:02:58As long as I'm breathing, nobody lays a finger on Silver Spring.
00:03:06Hey, old fossil.
00:03:07A dirt-shovelling slave like you thinks he's worthy of watching me work?
00:03:12That's his Osweiris.
00:03:13Lord Lance, this old joke shadows the lady.
00:03:20Seriously, why does Lady Kira keep this dead weight around?
00:03:23Listen up, Izor.
00:03:25Look at Lady Kira with those filthy eyes again, and I'll use this aura to take your nose clean off.
00:03:30Got it?
00:03:30Your grip is shaky.
00:03:32Still hungover from last night.
00:03:34Back to basics, kid.
00:03:35You miserable piece of-
00:03:37Lance, let it go.
00:03:38He's not worth it.
00:03:40Lady Kira's waiting for the Mester.
00:03:46Let's go!
00:03:53Is it really that hard?
00:04:05Miserable old bastard.
00:04:07Got me so riled up I forgot my chanteen.
00:04:23What kind of monster did this?
00:04:27Look at that edge!
00:04:28How is that even possible?
00:04:30Cut the chatter.
00:04:31We have bigger problems.
00:04:32Kira, look.
00:04:33The reef, it's been cleaved in two.
00:04:35In one single strike.
00:04:36One strike?
00:04:38Impossible.
00:04:39Impossible.
00:04:39This level of mastery.
00:04:40Only the sword saint himself could pull this off.
00:04:42Casper is here.
00:04:43I need to find him.
00:04:45Give me three years under his blade, and I'll be doing the exact same thing.
00:04:50You don't have three years.
00:04:52Ryan Bloodhand and his riders just crossed the border valley.
00:04:56Bloodhand.
00:04:58That butcher.
00:05:00Word is his men are rabbi dogs.
00:05:02And he takes the hands of anyone he beats.
00:05:05He just challenged our house to a duel.
00:05:07I've made my choice.
00:05:09We're surrendering the land.
00:05:10Hell no!
00:05:11This is your birthright, Kira!
00:05:13Your family's honor!
00:05:15We took an oath to protect you.
00:05:17We don't bow to raiders.
00:05:19Yeah.
00:05:19He'll have to go through us first.
00:05:22Ryan.
00:05:23So that little horse thief I remember actually calls self Bloodhand now.
00:05:28What's so funny, old man?
00:05:31She's right.
00:05:33If I were you boys, I'd take her advice.
00:05:35You spinless coward!
00:05:37Shut your mouth.
00:05:38This is a matter of honor between knights.
00:05:40It's got nothing to do with a dirt shoveler.
00:05:42You've worked for me for two months without us asking for some coin.
00:05:45Take this.
00:05:46Get out of here while you still can.
00:05:48I'm not going anywhere.
00:05:50I'm staying right here.
00:05:52They're here!
00:05:54They're here!
00:05:55Bloodhand is here!
00:06:01Stop!
00:06:02Stop!
00:06:05Out of my way, peasants!
00:06:16You're violating kingdom law, Ryan.
00:06:19What rock did this gardener crawl out from?
00:06:22You think you're worthy of speaking to me?
00:06:24He's right.
00:06:25The duel hasn't started yet.
00:06:27By kingdom law, this is still my territory.
00:06:30You have no right to butcher my people.
00:06:34Kira, look at you.
00:06:36You've grown into quite the beauty.
00:06:38Remember me?
00:06:39I used to hold you back when your old math was still breathing.
00:06:41Get away from me!
00:06:43Take my advice.
00:06:45Just surrender the land.
00:06:47I need these two-legged cattle digging in my mines.
00:06:50What did we ever do to you?
00:06:51Why are you obsessed with my land?
00:06:54What did you do wrong?
00:06:55Sweetheart, your only crime is being weak.
00:06:57And the weak don't get to choose their fate.
00:06:59They obey.
00:07:00You were born a slave, Ryan!
00:07:02Who the hell do you think you are speaking to nobility like that?
00:07:07Augustus, rip out the noble knight's tongue.
00:07:12Understood.
00:07:23Let the first duel begin.
00:07:28A beast like that.
00:07:30Wearing a knight's crest.
00:07:32A beast?
00:07:32Augustus holds a royal seal, sweetheart.
00:07:34Surrender now, before he chops your boy here like firewood.
00:07:38If I surrender, swear you'll spare my people.
00:07:41Keep dreaming.
00:07:43You're in no position to bargain.
00:07:52Let me handle this.
00:07:54Agri, are you insane?
00:07:55He's not a rosebush.
00:07:57Get out of here!
00:07:58I told you.
00:07:59I'm staying right here.
00:08:01You'll be safe.
00:08:03Jonah, you're up.
00:08:06Me?
00:08:07You've had real knight training, and you're the strongest one here.
00:08:10You really going to let a brainless brute scare you?
00:08:15Don't worry.
00:08:16He's just a brainless boar.
00:08:18I bet the big guy doesn't even know how to hold a blade.
00:08:20I'd think twice about that, kid.
00:08:23Shut your mouth, man.
00:08:24Once I crush this freak, you're next.
00:08:26Ready?
00:08:26Let me show you what real swordmanship looks like.
00:08:31Come on, little boy.
00:08:33Make it hurt.
00:08:34Power of the Earth!
00:08:39Die, you brute!
00:08:47My turn.
00:09:02No, no, no.
00:09:03Thank you, man.
00:09:05Take you, man.
00:09:06Take you, man.
00:09:12Mercy!
00:09:13We yield!
00:09:15We surrender!
00:09:17That much is obvious.
00:09:19Now the victor claims his prize.
00:09:23No!
00:09:27You dishonorable bastard!
00:09:29Honor.
00:09:29Only the living get to talk about honor.
00:09:31Who's next, or are you going to step up and play with Augustus yourself, my lady?
00:09:37Kira, let me handle this.
00:09:38I'll avenge Jonah.
00:09:39Lance, don't.
00:09:41He's a monster.
00:09:42I've already read his moves.
00:09:44The brute is nothing but a thick-skinned idiot.
00:09:47He's slow and doesn't even know how to dodge.
00:09:49With my speed, I'll bleed him dry in minutes.
00:09:52When he caught that blade, his reflexes were three times faster than yours.
00:09:55He's just playing with his food.
00:09:56Idiot!
00:09:57He took that hit to the skull.
00:09:58Who risks getting their head caved in just to play pretend?
00:10:01Oh, look.
00:10:02The gardener is giving sword lessons again.
00:10:05Listen up, everyone.
00:10:07Class is in session.
00:10:08You don't need a knight's crest to understand a blade.
00:10:10Enough.
00:10:12Let's just trust Lance with the duel.
00:10:17Watch closely, old dog.
00:10:18Once I put this freak down,
00:10:21you're the next thing I'm throwing out of Silver Spring.
00:10:23Hey, pig!
00:10:25Ready to be charred up?
00:10:37Behind you, you oversized swine.
00:10:43That was just a taste.
00:10:52It's working.
00:10:54Lance is actually cutting him down.
00:10:55It's useless.
00:10:56He's too timid.
00:10:58Paper cuts won't kill a beast like that.
00:11:00He's just burning through his own lungs.
00:11:02Augustus!
00:11:03Stop playing around!
00:11:04I'm tired of watching this flea dance!
00:11:08The pressure's perfect, boss.
00:11:10Best damn massage I've had all year!
00:11:14Laugh while you can.
00:11:15Your eyes are next.
00:11:24Hey, boss.
00:11:26Remind me.
00:11:27Which piece of this flea did you want again?
00:11:29The tongue.
00:11:31Ah, right.
00:11:32Got it.
00:11:36Stop!
00:11:37We yield!
00:11:38We surrender!
00:11:38Too late.
00:11:40Unless you slide into my bed tonight, completely bare.
00:11:44Do that.
00:11:45And maybe he keeps his tongue.
00:11:50Well, aren't we impatient, sweetheart?
00:11:54I invoke a duel, Ryan.
00:11:56Just you and me.
00:11:57Face me.
00:11:58If you actually have the stones.
00:12:02In your dreams.
00:12:03Once you step onto the killing floor, you don't get to pick your executioner.
00:12:08Poor little lamb.
00:12:10Don't worry, I'll use the flat of my blade.
00:12:12Once I snap both your legs, you'll have all the time in the world to serve the boss.
00:12:16Wind.
00:12:18Find his heart.
00:12:22For bed.
00:12:30You?
00:12:31A Gargastus.
00:12:32What the hell was that?
00:12:34My...
00:12:34My hand slipped.
00:12:35You dare interfere with a formal duel?
00:12:37Interfere, no.
00:12:38I just escorted a lost land home.
00:12:41As for the duel,
00:12:42I'm your opponent now.
00:12:44No, Agri, run.
00:12:45This is a battlefield for knights.
00:12:47Knight, Gardener.
00:12:48What's the difference?
00:12:49My job is trimming deformed weeds.
00:12:52And he's long overdue.
00:12:54You'll get yourself killed.
00:12:57It's not like you have a backup plan, right?
00:13:01Amusing!
00:13:02Let him play, Augustus.
00:13:03Crush his skull into powder right in front of her.
00:13:05The skull.
00:13:06Knotted.
00:13:07Wait.
00:13:08You're using that broken blade?
00:13:10It'll do.
00:13:12Left my good steel in the stables.
00:13:14I can lend you a blade, old man.
00:13:16If you use your ass as the seeth.
00:13:21Generous of you, but I'll pass.
00:13:23I swore I'd never draw that blade against a human again.
00:13:29I'm gonna take your arms and legs first!
00:13:43What are you, a blacksmith or a gardener?
00:13:45Why don't you take a closer look at your steel?
00:13:53What?
00:13:54What did you do?
00:13:56Exactly what's about to happen to your skull.
00:13:58I don't need steel to tear you apart!
00:14:07Wait.
00:14:10Impossible.
00:14:12Through plate armor?
00:14:19Go away.
00:14:29What the actual fuck?
00:14:35What on earth was that?
00:14:39My lady, the duel is over.
00:14:41He killed Augustus in a single blow.
00:14:47Cut him clean through.
00:14:48He was fooling us.
00:14:50In higher time.
00:14:52That blade.
00:14:53It's impossible.
00:14:55Well, look at that.
00:14:56Seems my intel was flawed.
00:14:58Silver Spring has more than just mouthy little night pups hiding behind its walls.
00:15:03You've been hiding a gardener who actually knows how to swing steel.
00:15:07Your champion lost.
00:15:08By law, take your riders and leave.
00:15:12Leave?
00:15:12That was a duel between noble knights.
00:15:15A filthy dirt shucker has no right to interfere.
00:15:19I don't recognize the result.
00:15:21You'd break your word.
00:15:22In front of everyone.
00:15:24Break it.
00:15:25No.
00:15:26I'm just saying, I'm collecting Augustus's debt.
00:15:30Personally.
00:15:31By kingdom law, a lord can refuse a second challenge.
00:15:34You already lost, Ryan.
00:15:35The law?
00:15:36Sweetheart, let me teach you a lesson.
00:15:39This blade is the law.
00:15:42It's fine.
00:15:43No.
00:15:44That strike took everything out of you.
00:15:45I won't let you...
00:15:46I told you.
00:15:48I'm not going anywhere.
00:15:51You mentioned a trophy.
00:15:54What was it again?
00:15:55Your skull.
00:15:57I'm going to turn it into a goblet for my trophy room.
00:16:03Then let's begin.
00:16:07Witness the true power of Shemstone's swordmanship.
00:16:11No!
00:16:35Please, just hold on.
00:16:37Please.
00:16:38Is that...
00:16:41Even swordmanship, no.
00:16:43That's not technique.
00:16:44That's a whole different level.
00:16:47Why can't I touch him?
00:16:49Why?
00:16:54Gemstone swordsmanship.
00:16:58Created 120 years ago by Edwin the Gemstone Knight.
00:17:04But your style has three fatal flaws.
00:17:07First, that gem burns through stamina like wildfire.
00:17:11At your level, you have 30 seconds left.
00:17:14Second, or those flashy variations.
00:17:17Only three angles can actually kill.
00:17:20Overhead slash.
00:17:22Mid thrust.
00:17:24Low sweep.
00:17:28The rest are just cheap parlor tricks.
00:17:31And third, your steel lacks real killing intake.
00:17:35No!
00:17:39No!
00:17:56He did it!
00:17:57He actually won!
00:17:59He won!
00:17:59We're saved!
00:18:02Wait! He's going to kill him!
00:18:08What do you think you're doing?
00:18:11You kill me and the crown will hunt you to the ends of the earth!
00:18:16You think it is over?
00:18:19I paid half a gold mine for one man.
00:18:25You think I was stupid enough to come for this land with just Augustus.
00:18:31The Raven Swordsman. Ever heard of him?
00:18:34The Raven Swordsman?
00:18:36Impossible. The Church executed the Raven eight years ago.
00:18:40Executed.
00:18:44The Church chased shadows for years and never caught him.
00:18:47Three months ago, my men tracked him down on the black market. The deposit has been paid.
00:18:51And his rule is absolute. Once he takes the coin, the contract is sealed.
00:18:55The Raven. He slaughtered seven Templar knights by himself.
00:18:59If it's really him, all of us combined, wouldn't serve a single strike.
00:19:04In this entire kingdom, fewer than five men can last three moves against him.
00:19:09Agri, run. Take the coin and get as far away as you can.
00:19:11You're not a knight. You don't owe this place anything.
00:19:13Hear that, dirt-shaveler? Your precious lady is telling you to run.
00:19:17What's wrong? Scared, speechless. Where'd all that swagger go from cutting down Augustus?
00:19:22No one has ever lived to see the Raven's second strike.
00:19:26Don't worry, I'll sell your precious lady to the eastern slave blocks.
00:19:29The Lady of Silver Spring on the auction block shall fetch a fortune.
00:19:32As for you, Gardener, I'll have the Raven take your fingers. One by one.
00:19:37Then I'll paint your name across these walls in your own blood.
00:19:40Agri. Do you understand me? He's not some random sellsword or a wandering knight.
00:19:45The Raven Swordsman.
00:19:46You don't know the Raven Swordsman?
00:19:48The Raven Swordsman. His name is a curse across the kingdom. How do you not know him?
00:19:53He doesn't know. Of course he doesn't.
00:19:55He is just a low-born old fool who spent his life knee-deep in mud and cabbages.
00:20:00Let me educate you, Gardener.
00:20:01The Raven burst onto the scene years ago.
00:20:04One man, one blade, seven dead Templars.
00:20:07His swordplay is unmatched.
00:20:11Because he is a disciple of the Sword Saint.
00:20:14The Sword Saint's disciple.
00:20:16My disciple?
00:20:17Seven Templars slaughtered.
00:20:19I never took an apprentice like that.
00:20:20Unless.
00:20:27Sword Saint.
00:20:29I beg you.
00:20:31Teach me.
00:20:36I take no disciples.
00:20:38Your hands are stained with too much blood.
00:20:40I was a slave in the Northern Mines.
00:20:44The blade is all I know.
00:20:46Gold was given.
00:20:47Lives were taken.
00:20:49I had no other way to survive.
00:20:51You are unworthy of my steel.
00:20:54I know I'm not worthy.
00:20:56But I've got nowhere else to go.
00:20:58I don't want to kill anymore.
00:21:00Every time I close my eyes, I see their faces.
00:21:03Please.
00:21:04Give me a path that doesn't end in blood.
00:21:07Swear it.
00:21:09I swear upon my soul.
00:21:11From this day forth, this sword shall never shed innocent blood.
00:21:16Should I break this vow,
00:21:19soul rent will turn upon me,
00:21:21and I shall never hold a sword again.
00:21:27Rise.
00:21:31Master.
00:21:32The raven's swordsman.
00:21:34Don't tell me it's that boy.
00:21:36What's the matter, Gardener?
00:21:38Frozen in fear.
00:21:40Where'd that swagger go from cutting down Augustus?
00:21:43Ryan, you lost the duel.
00:21:46By kingdom law.
00:21:47Law!
00:21:48Sweetheart, I already told you.
00:21:50The blade is the law.
00:21:51And the raven's blade,
00:21:53that is the absolute law of this realm.
00:22:13Black cloak.
00:22:14Chin.
00:22:15The raven's sword.
00:22:17Ha!
00:22:18Ha!
00:22:19Ha!
00:22:20Ha!
00:22:21Ha!
00:22:22Lord raven!
00:22:23You're finally here!
00:22:35Agri, you can still get out of here.
00:22:36Leave.
00:22:37Now.
00:22:38My lady.
00:22:39Listen to me.
00:22:40Just this once.
00:22:42Run.
00:22:44Run.
00:22:44He runs.
00:22:45And Silver Spring forfeits.
00:22:46Is that what you want?
00:22:47Raven, I am Kira, Lady of Silver Spring.
00:22:50I am the one who bested Ryan.
00:22:51My champion broke Augustus.
00:22:53If you want a duel, face me.
00:22:55The lady of Silver Spring stands her people.
00:22:57You want a duel, fight me.
00:22:59How touching, Lord raven.
00:23:00Look at this.
00:23:01A little girl playing hero.
00:23:03Ha!
00:23:03Ha!
00:23:03Ha!
00:23:04Ha!
00:23:05Ha!
00:23:05Ha!
00:23:05Let me handle this.
00:23:06No!
00:23:08Agri, listen to me!
00:23:09I told you.
00:23:10I'm not going anywhere.
00:23:11You're safe with me.
00:23:13Ha!
00:23:14Ha!
00:23:14Ha!
00:23:14Ha!
00:23:14A dirt shover finally steps up.
00:23:17Thought you'd hide behind her skirts forever.
00:23:19Drop to your knees.
00:23:20Crawl to my feet and beg.
00:23:23Tell me you're a worthless piece of trash who never should have crossed Ryan Bloodhand.
00:23:27Do that.
00:23:28Crawl out of Silver Spring, and maybe I'll ask Lord raven to let you keep your head.
00:23:32Run!
00:23:33Hey, I'm doing him a favor.
00:23:34A bruised ego is better than a shallow grave.
00:23:36Good deal, right?
00:23:38I'm not leaving.
00:23:42Agri.
00:23:42My lady.
00:23:43Trust me.
00:23:45Impressive.
00:23:48But make no mistake.
00:23:50I am only here to fulfill the contract.
00:23:54Once you fall, whatever happens to your life, or your fingers, is between you and him.
00:24:00Then let's begin.
00:24:04Drop the hood, Alan.
00:24:07Take a long, hard look at my face.
00:24:16The raven.
00:24:17He knows him.
00:24:19No way.
00:24:20That's the raven.
00:24:21It makes no sense.
00:24:24Lord raven, what the hell are you waiting for?
00:24:27He's just a damn gardener.
00:24:29Cut him down.
00:24:30Now!
00:24:31This day forth, your steel only draws blood from those who deserve it.
00:24:36Never take a life in vain.
00:24:38Lord raven!
00:24:39You took my coin.
00:24:40Half a gold mine.
00:24:42Kill him, and I will double your price.
00:24:44Just kill him!
00:24:45Losing your mind, old man.
00:24:47Who the hell are you muttering to?
00:24:50Lord raven!
00:24:52End him!
00:24:54I truly believed you had changed.
00:24:58Hey, Dirt Shever, are you deaf?
00:25:01Are you talking to me?
00:25:11It's played.
00:25:13He just let it drop.
00:25:17What the hell is happening?
00:25:19Lord raven!
00:25:21Your sword!
00:25:22What are you doing?
00:25:23He's the target!
00:25:24Pick it up!
00:25:25Draw your steel!
00:25:26I am deeply disappointed in you, Alan.
00:25:33Forgive me.
00:25:38Good.
00:25:39At least you still recognize your own shame.
00:25:46On your feet.
00:25:51I have questions.
00:25:52Speak truth, Alan.
00:25:54Yes, Master.
00:25:55What did Ryan buy your steel for?
00:25:57Just the duels.
00:25:58I win his fights.
00:25:59What he does after, that's not my business.
00:26:01Has he used your blade to take any innocent lives?
00:26:03No.
00:26:04The contract was only for the arena.
00:26:06And I don't kill anymore, Master.
00:26:08Then thank the gods you didn't break your oath.
00:26:10But what you've become breaks my heart.
00:26:12A blade should never bow to gold.
00:26:14You follow the coin, not the cause.
00:26:16The highest bidder commands your steel.
00:26:18Sooner or later, that path leads to innocent blood.
00:26:21That is not why I taught you to hold a sword.
00:26:23A blade is meant to shield, Alan, not to be traded like common goods.
00:26:27You still have a long road ahead of you, boy.
00:26:31Can I...
00:26:32follow you again, Master?
00:26:34Yes.
00:26:37Don't smile just yet.
00:26:45Raven, get back here!
00:26:46You took my coin.
00:26:48Half a gold mine.
00:26:49You gave me your word to end that gardener.
00:26:51What the hell is this?
00:26:52Kneeling to him?
00:26:52You dare double-cross me?
00:26:54Your coin will be returned.
00:26:58A refund.
00:26:59That's it.
00:27:00You broke the code.
00:27:01You took the deposit.
00:27:02You finished the job.
00:27:03I'll make sure you never get hired again on this entire continent.
00:27:05Suit yourself.
00:27:07I never expected that old dirt-shaveler to know the Raven.
00:27:10But there's only one man in this world the Raven would ever kneel to.
00:27:13Unless...
00:27:14That old man...
00:27:15is him.
00:27:16The High Court.
00:27:18I just need to send word.
00:27:20Once the Capitol hears of this silverbring is finished,
00:27:23I'll reduce this pathetic village to ashes.
00:27:25I'll pipe that old gardener's head at the gates.
00:27:27And as for you, Raven,
00:27:28I'll buy a thousand salesmen to hunt you down.
00:27:32Think you're leaving here alive to tell that tale, Ryan?
00:27:35Strip his weapons.
00:27:36Bind him.
00:27:38My lady, how tight?
00:27:40Hands and feet.
00:27:42Leave him no room to crawl.
00:27:48Get off me!
00:27:49I'm a registered knight!
00:27:50You filthy peasants!
00:27:52How dare you touch me!
00:27:55Throw him in the castle outhouse.
00:27:57Let him choke on his own filth.
00:27:59You wouldn't dare, Kira!
00:28:00I am nobility!
00:28:01This is treason!
00:28:03This is an insult to...
00:28:12Agri, this toast is for you.
00:28:14You saved Jonah, you saved Our Lady,
00:28:15and you saved this whole damn territory.
00:28:17Before today, we misjudged you.
00:28:19We said things we shouldn't have.
00:28:21Forgive us.
00:28:26Agri, this one's for you.
00:28:28Who knew you could work healing magic?
00:28:29You saved this arm of mine.
00:28:35I live under this roof, too.
00:28:36I protect my home.
00:28:41So, Avon, or whatever your real name is?
00:28:43Just Alan.
00:28:45So, Alan, how exactly did you cross paths with an old gardener?
00:28:51I pulled him out of a ditch years ago, nothing more.
00:28:55Years ago, he pulled me from the dark.
00:28:58Figures.
00:28:59You must have walked some dangerous roads in your youth, Agri.
00:29:02I've seen my share of roads, but I'm too old for the march now.
00:29:06Settle down here because flowers are quiet.
00:29:08They don't bleed.
00:29:09It's a good life.
00:29:10Who are you, Agri?
00:29:11What kind of simple gardener plucks the world's deadliest killer from the grave?
00:29:29You came.
00:29:30The Black Iron Council.
00:29:32I knew you wouldn't abandon me.
00:29:34Perfect timing.
00:29:35Those bastards kept me in this pit all day.
00:29:37Fed me half a loaf of stale bread.
00:29:39But the council always delivers.
00:29:41How many men did you bring?
00:29:43Where are the horses?
00:29:43Do we have backup outside?
00:29:46I've got a spare spare blade in my carriage.
00:29:50Augustus is gone, but my knights are still out there.
00:29:53Cowards, sure, but they'll do.
00:29:55We slip back into the castle tonight while that damn gardener is asleep and slit his throat.
00:30:00And Kira, I'll make her crawl.
00:30:02She thinks this filth is for me.
00:30:03I'll lock her in here for a week.
00:30:04Let her choke on it.
00:30:06Then she goes straight to the eastern slave blocks.
00:30:08A high-bed lady, she'll fetch a fortune.
00:30:19What's wrong?
00:30:20Why aren't you moving?
00:30:21Move.
00:30:21We need to clear out before dawn.
00:30:23Lead the way.
00:30:24Where's the fall bout point?
00:30:26The gates?
00:30:27The northern woods?
00:30:28Why are you staying quiet?
00:30:30You are here to get me out, right?
00:30:32Ryan.
00:30:33You failed your mission.
00:30:35What?
00:30:36And the Black Iron Council has no room for dead weight.
00:30:40No, no, wait.
00:30:41I still have value.
00:30:42I know a secret.
00:30:43A massive one.
00:30:44It's about the gardener.
00:30:47Please, mercy.
00:30:48I still have value.
00:30:49I'm worth more to you alive.
00:30:56Speak.
00:30:57The gardener.
00:30:58The old man who broke Augustus.
00:30:59He's no dirt shiver.
00:31:01He is the sword saint.
00:31:02I know it.
00:31:02He drew a broken blade and unleashed golden sword aura.
00:31:05One strike.
00:31:05That's all it took.
00:31:06Augustus' great sword shattered like glass.
00:31:08The stone walls behind him were cut clean through.
00:31:10And soul rent.
00:31:11He used soul rent.
00:31:12He knows the saint's ultimate technique.
00:31:14Is that enough?
00:31:14Is that enough to buy my life?
00:31:16The Council has been hunting the sword saint for a decade.
00:31:18I found him.
00:31:19Send your killers.
00:31:20All he has is a useless lady and a few green boys.
00:31:22Send two?
00:31:23No.
00:31:23Just one enforcer will do.
00:31:25Intel noted.
00:31:25I knew it.
00:31:27The Council doesn't waste assets.
00:31:29I can rebuild my Black Knights.
00:31:31Give me one more chance.
00:31:32I'll deliver the Silver Spring mines on a silver platter.
00:31:35That bitch, Kira.
00:31:36Just wait till I breathe free air.
00:31:41The Council has other designs for that land.
00:31:44The King has decreed the Grand Tournament in the capital 30 days after the Equinox.
00:31:49Every lord must field a squad.
00:31:51Failed to appear or lose in the first round and the Crown forts their Feldman.
00:31:56Of course.
00:31:57If the Council wants Silver Spring, I'll hand it over on my knees.
00:32:00But none of that changes your failure.
00:32:04No.
00:32:04No.
00:32:05Please.
00:32:06I have gold.
00:32:06I can buy my life.
00:32:08Let me live.
00:32:08I'll disappear.
00:32:09I'll change my name.
00:32:10You'll never see me again.
00:32:12Please.
00:32:14Pathetic.
00:32:23The mill roof needs returning.
00:32:25Use the stockpile.
00:32:26Old Tom is on the well shed.
00:32:27Now the threshing yard fence...
00:32:29Lumber's delivered.
00:32:30The boys are working on it.
00:32:31But we need two new shotters.
00:32:33The ones on the chapel are shredded.
00:32:34Do we have the timber?
00:32:36A few pine planks left.
00:32:37It'll do.
00:32:37The village sign is gone too.
00:32:39Old John at the smithery says he can forge an iron replacement, but it'll take three days.
00:32:43Iron lasts.
00:32:45Wood just rots and breaks.
00:32:50My lady!
00:32:51Royal cavalry at the gates, they bring a decree.
00:32:54Let them in.
00:33:07Lady Kira of Silver Spring, let all present witness...
00:33:10I am Kira, lady of this realm.
00:33:13By decree of his majesty, the grand tournament commences in the capital thirty days past the equinox.
00:33:18Every lord must field a squad.
00:33:20Victors claim five hundred gold and royal glory, but fail to appear or fall in the first round, and your
00:33:25lands are deemed defenseless.
00:33:26The crown will reclaim your Ferglum.
00:33:28The king's word is delivered.
00:33:30Receive the roll, my lady.
00:33:36A tournament, it's a trap.
00:33:38They want our minds.
00:33:39The high lords in the capital have been waiting for an excuse to strip us, Barry.
00:33:45A gentle reminder, my lady.
00:33:47Silver Spring has defaulted on its taxes and ignored the call to arms for years.
00:33:51Consider this tournament his majesty's mercy.
00:33:53A final chance to prove your lands are worth keeping.
00:33:57Forfeit now, and the crown reclaims this valley by nightfall.
00:34:00Silver Spring will be there.
00:34:03Three.
00:34:05Demands three.
00:34:06A champion and two lieutenants.
00:34:08Count me in.
00:34:09A knight doesn't hide behind a desk when his home is on the line.
00:34:13Dying for you is my honor, my lady.
00:34:15Lance.
00:34:17You can barely stand.
00:34:18Two cracked ribs won't stop my blade.
00:34:20I can still swing, my lady.
00:34:22Give me this chance.
00:34:25Thank you, Lance.
00:34:26My lady, count me in.
00:34:29Had this sword forged last night.
00:34:31Thicker grip.
00:34:32Jonner, your arm.
00:34:33Make it two.
00:34:35Wrapped the hilt of my new blade last night.
00:34:37Extra grip.
00:34:38Look, my lady, if my arms give out, I'll use my legs.
00:34:40If my legs go, I'll be a meat shield.
00:34:43I'm going.
00:34:45You want to stop me, you'll have to tie me up.
00:34:48All right.
00:34:49You're both in.
00:34:50We just need to survive the first round.
00:34:52We survive, we keep our home.
00:34:53Make room for a third.
00:34:56This blade has spilled a lot of blood, my lady, but it's never won any glory.
00:35:00Let me earn some for Silverpring.
00:35:02Alan, you're an outsider.
00:35:03You don't owe us your life.
00:35:05This is a meat grunner.
00:35:06I'm not the only outsider who wants a turn.
00:35:09Right, Agri?
00:35:15He's right.
00:35:17Agri.
00:35:18I may just prune your roses, my lady, but I'd like to help keep the soil yours.
00:35:24Then you'll be on the roster.
00:35:26Listed as a gardener.
00:35:28Lance, Knight of Silverpring.
00:35:31Alan, no family name, no territory.
00:35:35Just a sword.
00:35:36Jonah, Knight of Silverpring.
00:35:40Long live Silverpring!
00:35:44All of you.
00:35:45With you by my side, Silverpring will survive the first round.
00:35:49Silverpring never yields.
00:35:51Long live Silverpring.
00:35:52Long live Silverpring!
00:36:14Territory name.
00:36:15Silverpring territory.
00:36:18Silverpring.
00:36:19Silverpring.
00:36:19Here it is.
00:36:21Submit your squad roster.
00:36:22Champion, Kira.
00:36:23Lieutenant, Lance.
00:36:25Third Knight, Jonah.
00:36:26Silverpring squad.
00:36:27One champion, two lieutenants.
00:36:29Qualified to compete.
00:36:31And the rest?
00:36:32Camp hands.
00:36:33They tend the horses in gear.
00:36:35Camp hands.
00:36:36Noted.
00:36:36Registration complete.
00:36:38Next.
00:36:39Next.
00:36:49Silverpring squad.
00:36:50First round tomorrow.
00:36:51You pick their opponent.
00:36:53Who do you want?
00:36:54Venomfang squad.
00:36:55From Greystone.
00:36:58Venomfang?
00:36:59Those three aren't real knights.
00:37:00Their weapons are all illegal.
00:37:01Not your concern.
00:37:02Their weapons passed inspection.
00:37:05The tournament commission already cleared them.
00:37:08Silverpring versus Greystone.
00:37:10First match tomorrow.
00:37:11Third arena.
00:37:17Round one.
00:37:18Match three.
00:37:20Silverpring versus Greystone.
00:37:22No striking down opponents.
00:37:24No killing blows.
00:37:25Match ends when one side is fully incapacitated or surrenders.
00:37:29Violators will be disqualified.
00:37:31Begin.
00:37:32All right.
00:37:48Let's fall back.
00:37:50Let's fall back.
00:37:55That's foul play.
00:37:56That's against the rules.
00:38:00Match continues
00:38:04Get Lance to the edge, I'll handle all three
00:38:09The little lady's easy on the eyes
00:38:11Go easy
00:38:12Keep her in one piece
00:38:14She'll fetch a nice price tonight
00:38:15Wind, find their hearts
00:38:41Silver spring, victory
00:38:50My lady, the poison in Lance
00:38:52Chew it up, pack it on the wound
00:39:03What kind of herb is that?
00:39:05A common weed
00:39:40Silver spring wins
00:39:42Silver spring wins
00:39:43Silver spring wins
00:40:00Blow it up
00:40:01Bye lady, stay back
00:40:19Box clear
00:40:29Silver spring wins
00:40:30Three in a row
00:40:47Grand chancellor
00:40:48All match records for the silver spring squad are compiled
00:40:51I watched every fight in person
00:40:54Speak
00:40:55First match
00:40:56Greystone territories venom fang squad
00:40:59Silver springs champion, Kira, used wind sword mansmanship
00:41:03Beat all three alone
00:41:04Lieutenant Lance took a poison blade
00:41:06The third knight, Jonah, shielded him during retreat
00:41:09Second match, shadow territories miss squad
00:41:12They flooded the arena with fog, ambushed from the shadows
00:41:16But before the third knight's position was exposed, I noticed something
00:41:19Their sideline attendant, the gardener, sent a burst of sword aura through his pruning shears
00:41:24It pierced the fog and struck the attacker's knee
00:41:27Perfect control, no one else saw it
00:41:29Third match
00:41:30The rune trap squad
00:41:32After the attendant coached him, Jonah channealed earth power through his maimed arm
00:41:36Shattered the ground
00:41:37Triggered every rune
00:41:39Silver spring won
00:41:40Three matches
00:41:41Three victories
00:41:43I can confirm
00:41:44The gardener is no ordinary attendant
00:41:47That invisible sword era
00:41:49He wields shears like a sword
00:41:55Solrend
00:41:57The sword saint's signature technique
00:41:59I haven't seen it in years
00:42:02And now a gardener wields it
00:42:05He may well be the sword saint
00:42:07The one who vanished all those years ago
00:42:11The sword saint
00:42:14No one knows where he is
00:42:16Isn't he dead?
00:42:17Perhaps we're overthinking this
00:42:19You understand what Casper's technique means
00:42:21Solrend
00:42:22Severs the spiritual bond of a black iron contract
00:42:24One man and he could free everyone we control
00:42:26He is the greatest threat to the council's grip on this kingdom
00:42:29Better to kill the wrong man than let him walk free
00:42:34He dies at the tournament
00:42:35In front of everyone
00:42:38Legally
00:42:38He must never return as the sword safe
00:42:41Erase him
00:42:43Quietly
00:42:44If we fail it's the end of us all
00:42:46Borrow and fight
00:42:48Summon Leighton
00:42:50The bolster of the kingdom
00:42:55Leighton
00:42:56Tell me your mission
00:42:58Defend the kingdom's glory
00:42:59Defend the royal capital's people
00:43:01Defend the knight's honor
00:43:16Your new mission
00:43:17Tomorrow's final
00:43:19You face the Silver Spring squad
00:43:21Kill Kira
00:43:24Draw the gardener out
00:43:25One strike
00:43:26Full contract power
00:43:28Kill him before he can fight back
00:43:32As you command
00:43:41Can he kill the sword saint?
00:43:45Leighton's swordmanship plus contract power
00:43:47Not even the sword saint can survive that
00:43:51But that man
00:43:53Tell our people at the arena
00:43:54If Leighton fails
00:43:56Activate the backup plan
00:43:57He dies no matter what
00:43:59Yes sir
00:44:07Sir
00:44:08Your sword is ready
00:44:18Fine day for it
00:44:20The stands are packed sir
00:44:22The crowd's chanting your name
00:44:24They say Lord Leighton's taking his sixth title
00:44:30The lady of Silver Spring
00:44:31The gardener
00:44:34I'll kill you both
00:44:42Five time champion
00:44:44Five straight years
00:44:46My father always said
00:44:48A duel comes down to the day
00:44:50On a good day
00:44:51Even a rookie can topple a champion
00:44:53Jonah
00:44:54Your gauntlet ready
00:44:56Ready
00:44:56Lance
00:44:58Can you move your right arm?
00:45:00I can move it but I can't grip a sword
00:45:03You didn't get here by luck
00:45:04No matter who's out there
00:45:06Silver Spring doesn't lower its blade first
00:45:09I gotta look at their man
00:45:11Blonde hair, navy dress coat
00:45:12Standing alone at the tunnel moth
00:45:14But something's off
00:45:16His eyes don't move
00:45:17At all
00:45:19What do you mean his eyes don't move?
00:45:21No blinking
00:45:22Pupils don't shift
00:45:24Nothing
00:45:25I won't let you lose
00:45:26I won't let you lose
00:45:42Dead eyes
00:45:43Same as when I saw him earlier
00:45:47His eyes are bloodshot
00:45:49Bloodshot
00:45:50Something's off
00:45:52The final of the Kingdom Knights
00:45:54Duel Tournament
00:45:55Silver Spring
00:45:55Versus defending champion
00:45:57Lefton
00:45:59Both sides
00:46:00Take your position
00:46:06Begin
00:46:11Leton
00:46:11Leton
00:46:12We won't lose
00:46:13I know
00:46:14Gods protect you
00:46:15Lady Kira
00:46:16Never
00:46:18levee
00:46:28No
00:46:29I know
00:46:32What are you doing?
00:46:37What are you doing?
00:46:39I know
00:46:40How do you like
00:46:40Have you seen it?
00:46:41No
00:46:41You
00:46:43What do you need?
00:46:46Looks like the lady's on the back foot.
00:46:55Wind, find his heart.
00:47:06My turn.
00:47:16My lady, are you all right?
00:47:18That's a violation. You used a killing strike.
00:47:20Way out of bounds. I demand arbitration.
00:47:22Sir Leighton acted within the rules. No violation.
00:47:27Despicable. Have you no shame?
00:47:29Forget the rules. Try staying alive.
00:47:36We will never lose to you.
00:47:38Is that so, since you're so eager to die?
00:47:41Allow me to send you to God.
00:47:50I go left. You go right. Hit them together.
00:47:53Got him.
00:48:03Lance!
00:48:05Lance.
00:48:10How dare you hurt him!
00:48:24Foolish.
00:48:25Nothing but brute force.
00:48:27Too bad it'll cost you your life.
00:48:32I won't give up.
00:48:35Not till I'm dead.
00:48:41My lady.
00:48:44I'm sorry.
00:48:59I'm sorry.
00:49:03Jordan!
00:49:03Your knights are down.
00:49:05You're next.
00:49:07Damn him!
00:49:08You can't beat him.
00:49:09So we just watch him kill Kira?
00:49:16Kira?
00:49:17I'm sorry.
00:49:19I won't give up.
00:49:20I'll give up.
00:49:21Oh!
00:49:28Oh!
00:49:34Oh!
00:49:36Oh!
00:49:37Oh!
00:49:38Oh!
00:49:39Oh!
00:49:39Oh!
00:49:40Oh!
00:49:41Oh!
00:50:07I don't know.
00:50:14Thank you, Hagrid.
00:50:16Get back. I'll handle the rest.
00:50:39There you are, Gardner. You finally showed your hand.
00:50:43Linton, you shouldn't have done this.
00:50:46Kill you! Kill you!
00:50:48Kill you!
00:50:49Kill you!
00:50:50Kill you!
00:50:52Kill you!
00:51:14Layton, have you forgotten? Take a good look.
00:51:17You know who I am. You are my apprentice.
00:51:27That's impossible. If Layton is Agrius Prentiss, then Agrius...
00:51:32He is the sword saint, Agrius Caspar.
00:51:34What did he say? Apprentice? The five-time champion is this gardener's apprentice!
00:51:40The Iron Rusk.
00:51:56Layton, have you truly forgotten? Or is something controlling you?
00:52:05Master, save me. Please.
00:52:08Golden sword error! That's golden sword error!
00:52:10Sword saint! He's alive!
00:52:19Soul Red.
00:52:38My face. I can feel my face.
00:52:44Master, three years. Three years my body wasn't mine.
00:52:48I watched myself stand in this arena.
00:52:50Watched myself swing a sword, smile, win the fourth crown, the fifth.
00:52:54But I couldn't touch anything. Couldn't scream. Couldn't even close my eyes.
00:52:58Today I watched myself swing at Silver Spring.
00:53:01The lady thrown back my own hand.
00:53:03The knight, ribs cracking.
00:53:05The young man slammed into the dirt.
00:53:07I fought to pull back.
00:53:08Fought with everything I had.
00:53:10But the chains wouldn't let me.
00:53:12You asked if I remember you.
00:53:15I do. I always have.
00:53:18The snow in the north.
00:53:19Your iron mask.
00:53:20The first strike you taught me.
00:53:22Every single day I wanted to scream.
00:53:23Tell them my master is the sword saint.
00:53:26Tell them I was being controlled.
00:53:28Master, you've saved me.
00:53:29Twice.
00:53:30Black Iron Council!
00:53:34Justice for Layton!
00:53:36The sword saint!
00:53:41He's my master.
00:53:44He was the sword saint.
00:53:47All along.
00:53:51It's alright.
00:53:52I'm glad I could save you, Linton.
00:54:03Lady Keira.
00:54:04No apology is enough for what I did today.
00:54:06Your knight's still lying out there.
00:54:08Your wounds.
00:54:09I did this with my own hands.
00:54:10I don't know how to make it right.
00:54:11But I'll testify at the Kingdom Court of Arbitration.
00:54:14I'll prove the Black Iron Council rigged this match.
00:54:16Your territory, your honor, your knight's...
00:54:18Lord Layton, you were a victim too.
00:54:22I don't blame you.
00:54:25Silver Ring doesn't blame you.
00:54:31The final of the Kingdom Knight's dual tournament.
00:54:35Contestant Link lost control and used lethal force.
00:54:38Per Article 14, Langton is disqualified.
00:54:42Silver Spring Territory wins.
00:54:44The Territory stands!
00:54:50My master, the sword saint Casban today, he severed my contract chains.
00:54:54He gave me back my body.
00:54:55Gave me back my soul.
00:54:56I owe him my life.
00:54:58And I owe Silver Creek an apology.
00:55:01From this day forward, I fight with my own sword.
00:55:03I guard my own honor.
00:55:09Hail Lord Caspar.
00:55:10Lord Caspar!
00:55:12How many has the Black Iron Council controlled?
00:55:14I suspect our knight commander's been taken too.
00:55:16He's been a different man these past two years.
00:55:21Master, your name's out there now.
00:55:23The council definitely has eyes in the stands.
00:55:28I know.
00:55:38Kira, I must go.
00:55:40Remember what I taught you with the pruning shears.
00:55:43They matter more than any sword.
00:55:54By order of the council, sword saint Caspar, you die where you stand.
00:56:03A broken blade.
00:56:04He's going to fight us with that.
00:56:06Sword saint, not a broken blade.
00:56:07That's just insulting.
00:56:09Damn right.
00:56:09Fifty of us against one.
00:56:11Today the sword saint learns what the Black Knights are made of.
00:56:13Iron tooth, snake eye.
00:56:15Old man's mind.
00:56:17One swing, done.
00:56:20Formation.
00:56:21Formation.
00:56:21First squad.
00:56:22Charge.
00:56:26That's soul power, everyone.
00:56:31Everyone, charge.
00:56:33Crush him.
00:56:45иц, don't worry.
00:56:47Don't need to get out of release.
00:56:52Run.
00:56:54Run.
00:56:58Run.
00:56:59Run.
00:57:00Run.
00:57:01Run.
00:57:02Run.
00:57:03Run.
00:57:10What the hell are you?
00:57:11Go back. Tell the Council to stop sending men. I'm on my way.
00:57:40Alert! Someone's approaching!
00:57:45Halt! This is Outpost 7 of the Black Iron Council. Trespassers die on sight.
00:57:54Palestine! Ready!
00:58:16He's insane with a broken blade.
00:58:19Philistory! Keep firing!
00:58:30Go, my face!
00:58:33Go, my face!
00:58:36No!
00:58:37No!
00:58:41No!
00:58:42No!
00:58:43No!
00:59:05Outpost 7 has fallen.
00:59:07That's the mining outpost.
00:59:08Rune traps, balusters, elite guards.
00:59:10Even a lord's army needs a full hour to breach it.
00:59:13How did it fall so fast?
00:59:14Not just Outpost 7.
00:59:16Reports from the front.
00:59:17The hidden posts deep in the woods have fallen too.
00:59:20Three outposts.
00:59:22He took out all three.
00:59:29Every outpost he hit.
00:59:31Not a single kill.
00:59:33He wants a meeting.
00:59:34This is his way of forcing us out.
00:59:38Fortify every remaining outpost.
00:59:41Rally all warriors.
00:59:43Send word to the three Grand Commanders returned to headquarters.
00:59:46Now.
00:59:47Grand Chancellor.
00:59:48The three Grand Commanders are deployed in the north.
00:59:54Call them back.
00:59:55Kaspern doesn't take one step closer to headquarters.
00:59:58Deploy Ground Net Procol at every outpost along his path.
01:00:01Kill him.
01:00:02As you come up.
01:00:29Let's go.
01:00:43Three outposts.
01:00:45Dozens of elites.
01:00:47Three Commanders.
01:00:48And one man crushed you all.
01:00:52Sir.
01:00:53He's the...
01:00:54Silas.
01:00:55I don't need excuses.
01:00:57I need results.
01:01:12Grand Chancellor.
01:01:16Ghost Face.
01:01:18Can you kill Kasper for me?
01:01:21Anytime.
01:01:32Ghost Face.
01:01:33Kasper's heading north.
01:01:35He'll stop at the abandoned temple.
01:01:37Go.
01:01:38Kill him.
01:01:40As you command.
01:01:41Crimson Ashrock Valley is our biggest contract in Gold Center.
01:01:44Hold it.
01:01:45That little Lady Kira might bring a strike force.
01:01:47Steelbone guard the last perimeter around headquarters.
01:01:50If Crimson Falls, you're the final war.
01:01:52Understood, sir.
01:01:53Three hundred controlled knights in Ashrock Valley.
01:01:55What's one lady gonna do?
01:01:57She learned Kasper's blade at the tournament.
01:01:59Steelbone.
01:02:00Don't make the same mistake Augustus did.
01:02:02I know.
01:02:03Tonight, we activate Ground Net Protocol.
01:02:05Sir, once Ground Net Protocol goes live, every Controlled Knight's life force links together.
01:02:09If someone severs a contract at a node...
01:02:13Do it.
01:02:21Sir Leighton, he...
01:02:23Crimson!
01:02:23Your brother chose betrayal.
01:02:25Will you follow him?
01:02:28No, sir.
01:02:30Go.
01:02:32Show them the Black Iron Council isn't built on three worthless commanders.
01:02:43Crimson, you shouldn't have mentioned Leighton.
01:02:45Leighton is my brother.
01:02:47He's free now.
01:02:48For people like us, freedom is death.
01:02:56Enough talk.
01:02:57The Grand Chancellor's word is law.
01:03:14Come out.
01:03:17The Grand Chancellor only sent you.
01:03:39Good form with those blades.
01:03:55Leighton's free now.
01:03:56Do you want the same?
01:04:02Don't try to get in my head.
01:04:04Really, freedom means nothing to you.
01:04:07Freedom means nothing to you.
01:04:09Freedom means nothing to you.
01:04:28Can you feel it, freedom?
01:04:31I can feel my hands.
01:04:34My own hands.
01:04:38you can fight the contract now try alan is he alive he's alive he's one of us now
