Almighty God, in my hour

of need, be with me.

Let me never forget my sacred

and holy vows onto Thee

and I should not be prey onto demons and

devils, and all the dark things of this world.

Honour me with the armor

of Thy righteousness.

Give me the sword of truth,

that I shall confound mine enemies...

...and be onto Thee... the true knight.

They blockade the path!

This way!

Guard!

Fall back!

COVEEER!!

- Jacob, we can stop this.

- Stop now, we lose more men.

There is no stopping this [...]

- We can outflank them.

- There are women and children in it.

- They won't be hurt.

- They WILL be hurt.

We end this today!

WITH ME!!

- Your Highness.

- With Allah's help we may still prevail.

- The time for false hope is over.

There is one final request

I must beg of you, my friend.

Haven't you had enough of this -

killing for hypocrite priests?

- We do God's work.

- The blood we spill here is on our blades.

Our souls, not God's!

We don't have to do this anymore.

We can just go.

- Go where?

- East.

No one goes East.

- Cannot be any worse than here.

- You doubt our cause?

- You're not the man you once were.

- None of us are.

Go there. Go East!

You know, I swore an oath to your father.

My father is dead, you are released

of your oath.

I release you. Go!

- Father.

- Papa!

Hassan will escort you away from here.

I will see you again... very soon.

You have to be strong.

You have to be strong.

For the children, for us.

My love.

GOD WITH US!!!

Stop, this is finished.

Leave.

My days draw to an end, my son.

- No, father!

- They do... child.

That is the nature of life.

All that is left for me...

...is to ensure my Kingdom

receives the leader it deserves.

Which is why I have chosen you...

...to sucseed me.

- Me? But... Shing?

- Your brother is a great warrior.

Now it's the time for peace.

That is my request of you.

Father, no one will follow me.

They will...

...because you will be King.

Majesty, Prince Shing approaches the gates.

Our time is less than we thought.

Qiang Long, the royal seal.

Yes, your Majesty.

Qiang Long will escort you...

...ensure that you all safely reaches

the General Sen Ching Wen.

I will protect him with my life.

I have made none of these

decisions lightly.

Which is why... I have chosen you.

Father.

Out of necessity, Lian.

A King... tends more to his sons.

But it does not mean... he has any

less love for his daughter.

I trust you... with your brother's life.

With the future of our Kingdom.

Go now.

Majesty.

- It's been a long time.

- Too long, my son.

I came as soon as I heard

of your declining health.

My health has always

been a concern of yours.

I have other concerns, father.

About... rumors I've heard.

Rumors... are the distraction of

children and old women.

Indeed. Unless they are true.

And... what rumor carries...

such weight, my son?

Perhaps we should summon my baby brother

to discuss it?

Unfortunately, your brother

is away from the palace.

I fear your ill health is clouding

your judgment, father.

The throne is my BIRTHRIGHT!!

I earned it, fighting your wars!

Without you... there would be no Kingdom...

...but everything!

I've given everything for you.

I know... my son.

But please...

...it is in the best

interests of the people.

- What... do you know about THE PEOPLE?!

- Prince Shing!

My son means me... no harm.

My father must trust you very much.

You have family? A wife? Children?

Resist me and I will see that your children

are nailed to the walls of your home...

- ...one piece at a time.

- Shing!

That your wife spends the rest of her life

pleasuring my guards.

Die for a King whose time has passed...

or choose to serve a new one.

- Leave us.

- Out! All of you.

Remember this blade, Father?

Your mother... once saved my life with it.

When I was old enough... she gave it to me.

And told me I would be King.

But you are not the child she loved.

Where is the seal?

Where. Is. The. Seal?

Heaven... forgive him.

Heaven is closed to me... because of

all the things I've done for you.

The King... is dead.

Murdered. By Prince Qiang.

He stole the royal seal.

Bring it to me.

Follow me.

Keep your men under control.

Summon General Gao.

Now.

Or should I send for your family?

The horse!

Stop them!

Go!

Maybe we should just keep going?

And how far will we get? We have no horse.

We need help.

- You stay here.

- But Lian, I should go!

Father chose you, because he knows

you are strong.

Whatever happens, you keep going.

You reach the Generals.

And you will be King.

Be careful.

Here.

No money, no food.

When you first came in,

I thought you might be the White Ghost.

I guess I was wrong.

Is that the Princess?

I seek an escort for the road.

I can pay.

What use is coin to the dead?

The Black Guards are hunting you.

Look who I found skulking outside!

I'm sorry, I did not see them.

- My father will hear of this.

- So the dead have ears.

No, my father is not dead.

It's not true!

Oh, you know it is.

After all it was you who murdered him.

- Or was it you, Princess?

- Shing.

The seal, where is it?

You mind?

Hold them.

No! Stop it.

Give it back to me!

- The seal is mine!

- Cut these throats.

The sword... is mine.

It belongs to me.

I'd like it back.

Then come.

Take it.

Opium.

Your kind are such fools.

Clean him up.

Kill him.

- Lian.

- Qiang!

Either way, the boy dies.

- Kill him then, I just want my sword back.

- If I give it to you, then will you leave?

You have to help us.

Good luck, Princess.

Wait!

Much obliged.

Wait. Qiang, come.

Please! Help us. We must

get to Shing Yuing.

If your reward is what

you seek, we have gold.

My brother is the Kingdom's only hope.

If you don't help us, we will be killed.

Come. You will be if you stay here.

Do what you must,

but there are riders down below.

- How many?

- Wake the boy. Quietly.

Shh. We have to hide.

Keep looking!

Why did you come back?

You had your sword.

You promised gold.

And I was having that way, anyway.

What brings you to our lands?

I know. But it's all we have.

Let's stop.

Wait here.

I said, wait.

This is our fault.

- They need help.

- We need to go, come on.

You can't just go!

Wait!

How is that possible?

- Let me go!

- Come on!

You're welcome.

It's great.

I'm only trying to help.

All right?

- I'm Lian.

- I'm Qiang.

And you?

Xaoi.

Beautiflu name.

We can't just abandon her.

It's one more mouth to feed,

and one more body to hide.

They seek three, not four.

All right.

That shot.

How did you make it?

Practice.

We go off the map, get through the woods.

Hopefully we won't see any

Black Guards until Ching Shao.

Your Majesty, General Gao.

- Lord Shing.

- Majesty.

- Lord Shing.

- Majesty.

How many of your fellow generals

will offer support to the boy?

- Once the Council has officiated over the

appropriate ceremony... - Yes...

...can't be no ceremonies without the seal.

But... if he... has the seal,
