Don't let the Thai blood line

vanish from the earth

Father

I see what you mean

But I...

- Father Si

- Si

- My lord

Father, you can't die

You can't die

Wake up

Wake up, Father, wake up

You must wake up

Wake up, Father! Please wake up!

Come back to me

Wake up, Father! Please wake up!

I represent the emperor

It would be a simple task for the Han forces

to utterly destroy the Thais

It would be a simple task for the Han forces

to utterly destroy the Thais

But there has to be a purpose

behind such an action.

It is not just a sport.

It is my opinion that we should find

alternative ways to quell the Thais

a way that will avoid the loss

of military lives

What would you suggest Lord Soonpo

Chiangsae has received an invitation

to a meeting with Emperor Qin

Chiangsae has received an invitation

to a meeting with Emperor Qin

I suspect all tribes got the same

invitation. What will be your response?

I suspect all tribes got the same

invitation. What will be your response?

I suspect all six tribes got the same

invitation. What will be your response

Khansa

will you agree to meet Emperor Qin

how could I dare refuse

The Han believe that any ruler

who visits Emperor Qin at his capital

shows his weakness

who visits Emperor Qin at his capital

shows his weakness

and accepts Han superiority

If you go by yourselves

you're taking a big risk

And what would you do. Gumpawa

Who is this barbarian

who causes so much trouble

His name is Gumpawa

He's the one

who humiliated me and your son, Libong

And he still holds your son hostage

My lord

Do my ears deceive me

You know that he may kill your son

at any time

Libong is not my son

He was raised on Han rice

so that he would grow strong

and one day be a weapon against his own race

Today I am afraid

The Han army is large and powerful enough

that we could push the savages

back to the edge of the world

So why then are you afraid

I'm afraid

that when the Thai hear

the first footsteps of the Han

they will all simply run away

The Han army is ten times the size of ours

What can we do, Gumpawa

I am ready to take Liboon

He is just like a big animal

that makes a loud noise

but has a very small brain.

If we use the hostile territory and our wits

as our weapons

we can always beat those

who are power-crazy and short-sighted

What do you think, Lamphun

A battle between Han and Thai

is inevitable now

The thai nation is like a wounded tiger

Maybe it will die from its wounds

But even that's better than being caged

for the rest of its life

If the many legions of the Han army

reach the Lad Kwan plains

the Thai nation will face disaster

I shall send out swift horses

to all six regions with a plan.

They must split up

and go in different directions

destroying all food

and water supplies they find

The Han army will be weakened

before it reaches the Jintai mountain pass

Then I'll unite all our armies

Dtai. Khanu. Ler. Chiangsae

Yuro and the Thanai

Together we will wipe out the Han army

The Thai soldiers

may be skilled at guerrilla tactics

but soon they we will meet face to fad

at the Lad Kwan plains

Then they will be defeated

Twenty years ago on the Lad Kwan plains

the Thais died at the hands of the Han army

Not a soul returned home even to bring

news of the defeat to their families

The grass on the Lad Kwan plains grew tall

nourished by Thai blood

After tomorrow,

it shall grow high once again

thanks once more to Thai blood

Jun-sen, what news?

General Liboon's army has already reached

the Jintai mountain pass

Good

Let's prepare to welcome them

Charge

Lord Liboon, the Thai soldier

have breached our defenses

They are at the gates of the camp

They have provoked me

Han troops give me your attention

You must kill every one of these savages

Not one is to be left standing on Han land

Our army has suffered enormous losses

Damn it

They fight like cowards

There aren't any

They have retreated

Please escape, my lord

Now you can take my place as general

Who are you

And why are you helping the Thais

Siboon

I have one last question for you

What have Thai people ever done to you

that makes you so keen to take our land away

You don't have divine rights to this land

It belongs to anyone who can take it

The Han empire is expanding south

The Thais are in the way

If the Han want our land so badly

we shouldn't disappoint them

Let us give him our land, stone by stone

Drop him

So you still want to lead

another attack on the Thais

So you still want to lead

another attack on the Thais

Litongjia. I think you must have forgotten

It was only four years ago

200000 Han soldiers went in

Only 4.000 came back

How could I forget

The body of my brother, Liboon,

still lies in Thai earth

But, Soonpo

the Thai people value their independence

They come together

when the situation demands it

But soon they'll split up like before

Liboon had the use very weapon

and chariot in our arsenal

Still he could not defeat them

How can a one-armed man

hope to succeed in beating them

We couldn't beat the Thai with steel

But gold

You never gold

But Emperor Qin ordered

this especially for Khunsai

in recognition

of your special relationship

Han carpet is wonderfully thick and soft

It's like walking on a cloud in heaven

No wonder,

it is kept for only the feet

of the most worthy

200-year-old brandy

is reserved for only

the greatest of warriors

And these 300 pieces of gold

And these 300 pieces of gold

will assist you in your campaign

to rule the Thai people

The Thai nation

Litongjia

You should know that the Thai nation.

This beautiful girl's name is Janghong

She's the daughter of a noble Loyang family

Emperor Qin sent her

to bring you his birthday greetings

I'll take my leave now. Khunsai

I hope that when I return here

it will be to celebrate

your leadership of the Thai nation

You've lost to me four times already

You've lost to me four times already

If you lose again

it will be the fifth and final time

You know you will lose

your last piece of clothing

And if I win

Whatever it is you want

you shall have

Are you sure

Checkmate

Damn

I want.

...Chiangsair City

So you want me to represent Chiangsair

in discussions with Khunsai

about forming a union

comprising all six Thai regions

If you don't go

then I must go

to represent my father's wishes

Very well

I'll hurry there and hurry right back

Drink

You are very cautious. Lamphun

You waited for me to dink first

But sadly your caution is in vain

Bunchawi

Kungtoo

Set it alight

Bunchawi

Dtai soldiers have surrounded

Chiangsair City

Let's get our things and escape

No

Even a dog doesn't desert its owner

I look after this city

How can I leave my people

Send out the fastest horses

Deliver a message to all Thai people

Khunsai has turned against the Thai people

Go quickly

Bunchawi go

Naree Naree

- Let's go now

- Take care of Bunchawi

Lafa

Lafa

Go on Quickly
