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
Chiangsae has received an invitation
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
to all six regions with a plan.
They must split up
and go in different directions
destroying all food
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
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
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
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
