"The King feared the enemy and he feared the Supreme Naval Commander who was fearless against that enemy." Both the Japanese and the Chosun-Ming alliance suffer significant loss during the Battle of Wekyo. Yi Soon-shin reports to the King that although they have suffered damages, they succeeded in destroying dozens of enemy ships. But Konishi wheedles Ming Commander Yu Jung to write an opposing report holding Yi Soon-shin responsible for the utter defeat in Wekyo. Having received two conflicting reports, the King and his court is confused and divided as to whose report to believe. The King's anxiety is amplified when he received a report that praises Yi Soon-shin as the hero of the people. Meanwhile, Commander Yu Jung sends yet another letter questioning Yi Soon-shin's loyalty to the King. The King, in response, sends his Royal emissary to put pressure on Yi Soon-shin.
