Kim Joon is ordered back to the city, even though the Gwiju fortress is still being attacked. The troop Sartai sends to attack the capital city, burns down all villages and kills all living creatures they find on their way as a warning should they decide to stand their ground and not surrender. They also burn down the Buddhist temple near the city.

Hapha, pressured by the ministers, decides to surrender to avoid an attack on the capital city. Once Kim Joon is back, Hapha makes him his assistant. Emissaries are sent to the Gwiju and Jaju fortresses to convince the generals defending it to surrender. At first both fortresses refused, but Gwiju after receiving a second visit from a member of the royal family raised the white flag to protect the king.

Jaju fortress surrenders after the king's representative pleads with its general. The general is tied up and taken away by the Mongol troops. There's a banquet to welcome the Mongols and celebrate the end of the war. Sartai publicly declares if more generals were like General Kim, they wouldn't have been able to take over Goryeo. Hapha, after seeing how much the commoners are suffering because of the demands made by the Mongols, asks Kim Joon what he thinks.
