Under Wang Sun's orders, his court officials prepare for extermination. The king arrives at Seogyeong to meet the rebels, but his military is absent.

Wang Sun subdues the rebel forces and prepares for war against Khitan. Kang Gam-chan leads Goryeo's army to the battlefront as commander-in-chief.

Khitan charges south, avoiding Goryeo's main forces. Despite this turn of events, Wang Sun refuses to flee and remains steadfast in the capital.
