1597, Second Japanese Invasion
Accused by a Japanese double agent,
Admiral Yi Sun-shin is relieved of command and tortured.
In July, Joseon's navy is decimated in Chilcheollyang.
Japan's army advances mercilessly,
capturing two crucial regions in August,
and setting its sights on the capital.
King Seonjo quickly pardons and reinstates Yi,
who immediately rallies his remaining warships and troops.
He obtains 12 ships that escaped the battle of Chilcheollyang,
and encamps on the Southern Sea.
Just 20km away in Haenam, Japan's navy sets up base,
preparing to attack with over 300 ships.
General
It is futile to battle such a formidable foe. I command you to disband the navy and join Gwon Yul's army.
Deployment imminent
One swing of this sword, blood will spread
Stay away to avoid beheading
Do not enter
