In 2015 an American archeological company bought

a military manuscript from the Han Dynasty.

It said Roman soldiers went to China 2,000 years ago

and the ancient city of Regum was bulit.

The archeological community believed it was a fake

but the company decided to explore further

James says they'll float a stock offering on the market the minute we find Regum.

Then we can excavate wherever we want.

You know most of the diary documents of how.

General Huo established the Protection Squad.

How is he related to Regum?

And why did they name this ancient city Regum?

That's what we're gona find out

Christian Another intersection ahead.

Which road do we take.

Let's split into three groups and keep each other updated.

Look sharp gentlemen.

It's real.

It's real.

Regum.

Yes.

- Commencing virtual scanning. - Okay.

- We all set? - Yup.

Don't forget the music.

- Wait wait wait. - I know Tchaikovsky.

No, this setting calls for Mozart.. Adagio

Mozart, nice Ok, I changed my mind Opera.

You're so indecisive.

- This gotta be him. - Let's scan it

48 BC, the Silk Road at China's western border.

Thirty-six nations are embroiled in a struggle

for the survival of the fittest.

Duck Duck.

- Which nation? - Don't know.

Silk Road Protection Squad.

Quick, who?

Those in white are the White Indians.

- The chief is Alisijiang. - Right.

Those in black are the Huns Chief Tache.

Huns normally live in the South What are they doing up here causing trouble?

The South has been suffering from severe drought.

So they've come here to grab more territory.

OK You know the drill OK Quick.

One last chance.

Are you going to return our food or not?

If you White Indians don't want to submit.

Then we'll settle this according to the rules of the Silk Road.

Let God decide who's right and who's wrong.

Quick.

You've already lost.

- Scram. - You bitch.

You!

Silk Road Protection Squad.

Stop fighting! Brother, stop fighting.

Fight them.

We'll handle it Brother stop fighting

I beg you all.

My Hun brothers,

I came with peaceful intentions.

Silk Road Protection Squad What's this got to do with you.

Our motto has always been

turn foes into friends

and peace for all races.

Whatever our friends on the Silk Road need.

It's our responsibility to help.

Survival of the fittest is the only truth on the Silk Road.

With your pathetic little band.

You want to control all thirty-six nations here.

Besides he has already lost He even dared to call me a bitch.

Success depends not on how many people you have

but on how determined you are.

Hands off.

Hands off.

Huns.

Lady.

Lady.

Sorry that wasn't intentional.

Use your sword. We'll go by the rules.

Our Protection Squad goes by the laws of our country.

We don't fight.

- What? - Come here No I won't.

Lady.

Lady Cold Moon

I didn't mean to remove your veil.

- You dropped it yourself. - I know.

- That was fate. - Really?

- Actually I came because. - Drink

I'm ready

I just want to return the veil to you

I didn't see anything Nothing happened between us.

Stop laughing.

Haven't been back home for a long time, hurry.

Kids look Who's here.

Uncle.

Come. Sit down there's enough for everyone.

Commodity prices at the borders have shot up

I hope the Prefecture can adjust the wages of our fellow comrades.

Every month. Twenty more coins Forty coins.

For the past few months, I've given my wages

to my injured brothers

I know. You take really good care of your men. We can manage

I know people laugh at you for marrying a Huns man.

Here you go again

I like you because we're the same.

We believe in equality for all races.

You preach peace amongst the different races on the Silk Road

and I teach peace to kids from different tribes at school.

We're bound to succeed.

- Captain. - Yin Po.

Our Protection Squad is in trouble.

Today the Prefecture Chief's army found four boxes of gold coins

outside the borders.

There is a Custom Clearance document inside.

Who signed it.

The Protection Squad.

Captain.

Lieutenant. What crime have we committed.

Why have you locked up my men.

Who gave you the right to lock up our people.

The Protection Squad is under the Prefecture Chief's supervision.

Don't move Don't move.

This has nothing to do with them

I'll go with you.

Order from the Prefecture's Chief.

Huo An and his Protection Squad

are all under arrest for smuggling gold.

Send them all to Wild Geese Gate tomorrow morning to work on rebuilding the city.

What a bastard

sending us all to the borders

so they can hang the blame on us for the gold coins.

We have to investigate ourselves How? Look.

We're all in exile.

Wild Geese Gate is where prisoners serve life sentences.

Once you go in there is no way out.

We've worked so hard and this is what we get.

Don't ask what we can gain.

Just ask what more we can do.

But that's so unfair.

So what are you going to do about it.

- Look. - Brothers

I know you all feel betrayed.

But I believe there is justice in this world.

We were all rescued by General Huo from the Wild Geese Gate.

We should take this opportunity to go back and pay respect to him.

The gold smuggling is a complicated case.

Once I get more evidence from Yin Po I'll know what to do.

Move. You lot, keep up Move, next.

One Two.

Han Dynasty General Huo Qubing's shrine.

Stop!

Kill them Kill them. - Brother - No!

Sister.

- General. - Stay back.

You have the courage to kill.

But do you have the courage to help those

who really need rescuing.

One Two Higher.

Faster! Help the injured!

What an idiot.

- Captain, are you alright. - I'm fine.

Help them! Help them!

It's all their fault, beat them STOP.

Come here. They're fighting.

STOP

What are you doing?

Stop fighting.

Stop fighting! Stop!

Who are you Silk Road Protection Squad.

Watch out.

Stop fighting.

Stop it.

Stop it. You guys stop fighting.

Go back to work. Stop now!

The Protection Squad come over here

I don't give a shit about your Protection Squad.

This is the Wild Geese Gate.

And I'm the Commander here.

Everyone calls him the Geese Commander.

So you're Huo An?

Yes.

I heard you're good with swords.

But I doubt you can take me.

Huo An, You think you're hot shit with your martial arts skills.

But I can take you down in just ten moves

I think five is sufficient.

Dare to try? Dare you? Come on.

Come on. Try.

Are you nuts?

Do you know why we want them here?

Under the Prefecture Chief's order.

We have to finish rebuilding the city.

So you bunch of losers hurry up.

Come back here I'm not finished with you.

Legion.

We stop.

What do you think General?

What is our current condition?

Close to 800 soldiers

3000 bows and crossbows altogether.

Horses are thirsty and near exhaustion Yes

if we gonna have a chance, we need to take them as soon as possible

Lucius

Lucius.

- Lucius. - Yes, I'm here

Falco said that you are going to take the city.

Yes.

But their Captain is very weak and he doesn't look too bright.

So it won't take long. Let's have a drink.

I'll wait for your good news when you return.

We're at a new city, a place to rest.

Intruders.

Huo An. Have you seen them before?

Can't tell if they're our enemies, hold your forces.

Attack before they get too close.

- Brothers. - Yes - Shoot - No.

Retreat.

Bunch of useless cowards.

Brothers. Let's kill them all.

You can't do that.

That's their tactic. They just want you to open the gate.

You think you know the Art of War better than me.

Charge.

Run?

Damn.

Stay down.

We don't have enough men.

Who's in charge now?

- Me. - No one? Then I am.

Listen to me if you want to live.

This way.

Take it.

Beat the drums.

Hold.

That scared them! Counter attack!

Stop!

I am Lucius, Commanding General Black Eagle Corps

Roman Empire.

Huo An.

Is there anyway no fight.

Return my people. You go.

No. We go there.

No.

General Lucius is fighting like a real demi-god today

I don't think there is a man alive that can stand against our mighty General.

Great Huo An you can do it.

Come on. Try.

Look! Sandstorm!

Sandstorm.

Sandstorm Captain, what are we going to do?

What the hell can I do?

Sandstorm.

General.

Hey, listen to me - Stop - What?

Listen.

Sandstorm coming Stop fighting.

Drop your weapon I let you in

or we bury here together.

The boy too.

We need food and water for my men.

Medicine for a child.

And I need a place to think

Lucius.

- Lucius. - Here. I'm here.

Did you win the battle against the Chinese warrior?

He won.

Yes, I knew you would win.

Because you said the Chinese Captain is terrible and he even looks stupid.

Huo An I did you a favour this time.

Now translate this to them. Tomorrow.

Tomorrow Scram.

Yesterday.

Yesterday.

Go.

General.

- You drink? - Of course.

You ever met a soldier who doesn't drink?

Strong.

Yes. It's lovely.

Where you go tomorrow?

This is a question I've been thinking about constantly.

In Rome. We are trained to obey,

to serve since we were very young.

When you finally get the opportunity to choose your own path

you realise there's nowhere to go.

Do Chinese soldiers feel the same way?

- No, we different. - Why?

You train kill people We train save people

I make Silk Road peace Peace is a dream.

We live a world that treats the dead better than the living

I just want to look at it I've never seen a Chinese sword.

It's heavy.

What's the Chinese word for revenge?

What?

If someone hurts you or your family.

You kill them. Revenge. Vengeance is...

Vengeance. Baochou.

Baochou Why you want revenge?

This is not your business.

Anything happen in Silk Road is my business.

Revenge makes more hate.

Today we meet. We are friend.

I want to help you.

When we leave tomorrow. I may never see you again.

You make a friend today you lose one tomorrow.

Is it worth it'?

Huo An. Damn, we're all doomed this time

I just got the order from the Prefecture Chief.

We have to finish restoring Wild Geese Gate in 15 days.

Otherwise we're all going to be executed.

Even if everyone works at full speed

it'll still take half a year to complete.

Aren't you close to the thirty-six nations?

Please help me hire more people.

This one's always upset.

We can rebuild the city in within 15 days.

They said they can complete it within 15 days.

It'll take a long time gathering the stones and even longer to transport them.

There's a lot of big stone, difficult to move, move up.

You have plenty of gravel outside the city.

Small stones Gravel. Do you understand?

He said there are a lot of small stones outside the city.

How do you build a city wall with gravel?

Huo An listen to me.

It'll be a mistake to listen to them.

He trust you.

Thank you.

You must promise me one thing in return.

Find man to guide my deputies to the Parthian Empire.

Ok, look We're here right now.

And the Parthian Empire is here.

What are you trying to do No, Slowly.

Be gentle, what are you doing

15 days. Ls it possible?

Men, stop it.

- Good, go. - Go.

Slow down, one at a time.

Leave after you grab them.

Everything is on schedule.

Haven't you eaten yet? You fatty don't get in my way.

Pull.

Lower, a bit more, that's it.

Tell me what kind of city is this.

From where you are standing now You can see the entire famous Silk Road.

The great artery of trade and culture

that connects the West to the great kingdoms of the East.

When the sun sets the entire Silk Road

even the city walls become very, very warm

I want to touch the city wall

I can see it

I can see them all

I can see our own city gate.

And the place you taught me how to use a sword

I can hear mother play her harp

when we're practising.

Do you miss her?

He'!

Let's go Training.

- What's happening? - Watching the Protection Squad's training.

You never watch my training.

Excuse me.

Let's go over there.

Position

I bet on the Romans to win.

Bet on the Protection Squad.

If you win, take all my liquor.

Bet on the Protection Squad.

Come on.

Be careful, don't get anyone injured I know.

Well done.

Let's get our liquor.

Are you blind.

This Roman soldier is not bad.

He'!

Thank you for the match.

That was a great fight.

Right, check again.

Hey someone has collapsed.

- Come over and help. - Help.

Are you alright?

No problem, I'm fine.

I General Huo swear to God

I will see the flags of all thirty-six nations

flying high together

at the Wild Geese Gate.

My brothers on the Silk Road.

Let's draw our own flag.

What are you drawing?

Excellent, young master.

- How do you write "school"? - What?

We did it.

We need to prepare the flag ceremony quickly.

Come on.

Give all my liquor to our brothers Drink!

You like the music?

I want to sing

I served under Consul Marcus Licinius Crassus Dives.

He moved his troops to the Parthian Empire

and formed an alliance with the Queen

who is the sister of our Lady Crassus.

Consul Marcus' eldest son, Tiberius

is a vicious and treacherous man.

The consul was planning on naming his youngest son.

Publius to be his heir and successor.

He entrusted me to keep the child alive.

The young lord started having problems with his eyes.

The Parthian Queen kindly sent medicine to heal his vision.

Tiberius laced it with poison

blinding his brother so he could never become Consul

and killed his father

I had no choice

but to take my soldiers and the child become a fugitive.

Until I reached the Wild Geese Gate

I've been a man without a country

marked for death.

The deputy I sent to the Parthian Empire

is meant to restore the peace treaty

and prove Tiberius' vicious intentions

I'm orphan Hun race.

My parents kill by enemy.

Me and my sister run away

and she cry

I use my hand

cover her mouth.

She die.

General Huo save my life.

He said war destroy family.

Only peace can save Silk Road.

We are same.

General

Decimus has returned

I think Tiberius know about us

Lucius.

My Mum says

however beautiful the sunset is it will always go dark

I know my sunset will end soon.

But don't worry about me I can't see anyway.

As for my brother

let me handle it on my own.

You're very brave.

You're very brave, really.

We will meet him

Lucius, no Huo An.

If you stand with us you will be butchered.

The city we built is a dream.

It'll only last 15 days

I cannot be further in your debt.

Think. If Tiberius want to catch you

why he need a hundred thousand men?

He can take over the entire Silk Road

even China

I think Tiberius working with the Chief.

It's our duty to protect Silk Road

I can borrow soldiers from my friend Yin Po.

Hopefully we can stop them.

Captain Huo

Falco Young master.

On behalf of the Roman Empire

I commission you First Centurion of the Legion.

My deepest honor.

Agrippa.

Is there something on your mind?

Perhaps we have come too far.

From Rome?

From all the things I've always tried to teach you.

You taught me the road to be a great lord is predestined

I didn't teach you to kill your own father.

That was fate

I dreamt of it

when I was young

I shared that dream with my father

before I took his last breath.

General.

General Lucius, our reinforcement is here.

General Lucius.

Where is Huo An'?

- Lucius. - General.

- Capture them alive. - Yes Lucius

Lucius

Lucius

Lucius, don't worry about me Go! Please go!

Lucius.

I order you to go. Go!

Please Go.

What crime have I committed?

Huo An is a traitor and all his family members are to be executed.

How can you hit little children Shut up.

Release me.

Go!

Don't push me.

Take the kids.

- Kids hurry up and go. - Go.

Batu hurry up and go.

Run!

Go.

Thank you for rescuing us May I ask your name?

It's not true.

Duck. Duck. Duck, don't move.

Don't be afraid.

No Come quickly. Help together.

- Take the kids first. - OK.

- Sun. Thank you. - I came only for my sister.

Hurry UP.

Come on. Hurry.

My books Look Out.

Xiuqing.

- Teacher. - Don't be Afraid, Alijiang.

Teacher - Go -Go.

Rest in peace.

All of you come over here Go.

Sun.

Go.

Promise me.

Look after our kids.

Look after yourself.

It wasn't easy for us to be together.

And it won't be easy for us to be apart.

Welcome home.

So nice to have you hanging around again.

Everyone in Rome

including my father

thought you were the finest warrior in the Empire.

No

I think of you more as a chess piece.

Think about it Lucius.

If I hadn't purposely let you escape.

Purposely.

Do you really think you and Publius would get this far?

Who could blame me for pursuing you

I mean.

Thank you For the perfect excuse to bring my troops here

I had already plotted this with Huo's subordinate, Yin Po.

Yin Po gave me the customs clearance document and the Commander's Seal.

As soon as my army settles in at the borders

the entire Silk Road region belongs

to the Roman Empire.

And all I have to give him is an insignificant title.

Prefecture Chief.

You throw a bone and you get a dog.

What a fantastic deal.

Spare the child.

He is no further threat to your ambitions.

Show mercy.

Let me tell you.

No one felt the pain

more than I did

when I had to blind my own brother

I beg of you.

Spare him.

- He has committed no crime. - Of course he has committed a crime.

His crime. His crime.

Is that he took the place in your hearts that belonged to me.

You will never

hurt my young master ever again

Falco will take you home.

Don't be afraid.

It's alright.

With my brother dead.

There really is no more cause for conflict between you and I

I will tell you a secret.

Lately.

When I look at my reflection

I see you.

Right.

It does get boring

when everything is so predictable.

Captain.

We fell for Yin Po's trap.

Sorry.

Go ahead.

Captain. Something happened

before you returned this morning.

Our great General Tiberius

has enacted a plan to unify the Silk Road

I've already asked.

He said no.

All of the thirty-six nations have acquiesced.

And you are the last.

We need you to do one thing.

What did they want you to do?

They want us to hand over Captain Huo.

What did you say?

Huo An This was never our business to start off with.

Why should we get involved?

Captain Huo We are not as heroic as you are.

How do you expect us to protect this place

when we can't even protect ourselves?

The Romans are right We all have families.

Now we can all just take the gold and go home.

Huo An, If you don't go with them

then we'll all die because of you.

We've been slaves all our lives.

This time we should have the right to make our own decision.

Go with them.

Huo An. Ls it worth it

for these people? We should leave.

They need me now more than ever

I won't leave.

You're not going?

Thanks for being so good to me.

If you like me you need to get to know me.

When I was young, my sister and I were running away from the wars on the Silk Road

I wanted to save her

but I killed her instead

I kept on asking myself. Why her?

Why me?

General Huo said We can't change the past

but the future is firmly in our hands.

He said everyone has their misfortunes but we need to contain the pain

and turn it into motivation.

A person who only laments the past

is a coward

whereas a person who can change the future is a true hero.

He said heroes are not afraid to die.

Nonetheless, I have to admit

that the fate of the Silk Road can't be changed by the Protection Squad alone.

Still, I'm truly thankful

I thank you all for joining me

in rebuilding this city.

Together we proved that harmony can be achieved between the races.

During that precious time

it felt as though

we were giving birth

to a newborn child of hope.

But his life is cut so short that I won't have the chance to see him grow up.

My brothers on the Silk Road

I have already given my all.

People are rarely satisfied with the truth.

If I can satisfy you all with my life.

Then I shall die with no regrets.

But I do have one last request.

Please raise the memorial flag that we made together.

Raise it up for me.

So I can take one last look at what we created

I will be forever indebted to you

I promise..

To repay you in my next life

I am the mighty Rat, a hero.

What am I going to do with these coins, buy a coffin?

Whoever dares to invade Wild Geese Gate, I'll kill him

I'll fight him With my last breath.

Tiberius and his hundred thousand men are all camped up at Kroran.

My friend is responsible for supplying food to them.

He says that there is one prison which has really tight security.

No one can get close to it

Lucius.

Huo An

I'm not sure why but I've always liked those who've hated me

because through our hatred our real selves are revealed.

You see humans

become bit more practical

as they reach their end.

Now Huo An Pledge your allegiance to me

and I will let you live.

How can you be so blind.

Dare to speak about truth

I'm Huo An work so hard in the Silk Road

I'm the one who should be a Chief.

What are you doing? Get back here.

How can you give Yin Po the Chief position?

You think he will hand over the border to you.

Just so he can be a chief ?

So you're saying there's a problem with Yin Po?

General, Yin Po will arrive soon.

How many men is he bringing with him?

At least ten thousand soldiers.

- And weapons? - All fully armed.

Captain Commander Seal.

Ma Chuang.

Is there something wrong?

Ready.

On his right side, can you see the keys?

Yes, I'm going to get them now.

Get in there! Get in!

I'll let you know when it's unlocked.

Don't worry I'll go help them.

Gold. Give us.

How can you not live up to your words?

Move

I got the key.

You also got caught, how are you going to help the others.

So what now?

Unlock me first.

General Tiberius.

Yin Po

I have completed all your instructions.

As long as you give me the Prefecture Chief seal

in exchange I will surrender the Commander Seal.

How well do you know Huo An?

Understand?

Everyone understand?

Now.

Hey! Stop!

Hey Huo An. Give us the key.

Here.

They're coming, faster.

Take care of yourself.

Get back.

Kill them!

Now, kill the bastards.

Shoot.

Who shot that arrow?

Ready armed.

Yes, General. Sound the attack.

Kill them.

We have no reason to initiate this fight.

Kill him

and the Prefecture Chief title belongs to you.

Ma Chuang.

Good throw.

Kill them.

General! The jail has been breached.

Huo An.

Well then send more people there.

Open the gate.

- Huo An. ls that you? - Yes.

Huo An.

Huo An.

It's you.

You have no business in Roman family quarrels.

This is not your business.

It's my duty.

Listen to me.

Huo An.

Listen to me, listen.

The city we built.

A city without. Fear.

Terror. Humiliation.

When they raze that city.

Rebuild it.

Whoever shares that city with me

is forever my friend.

Huo An.

Huo An.

First Centurion

I entrust my troops to you.

Go.

Or they will die here with you.

Go.

Now.

Huo An.

We shall meet again.

Here they come Get ready.

Archers.

Soldier, let's leave. Hurry move!

They're coming, position.

Position.

To the right Hold the line.

Company hold.

Statius. We are all Romans. Surrender.

A true Roman. Never surrenders.

To arms.

Form ranks.

- Use the shield. Slide the rock! - Yes sir.

Push.

Follow me. Go Go.

Hurry now

I want to die with you.

Engage.

Captain.

Captain.

Sun.

Parthians.

Disengage the army.

Tiberius.

The criminal who killed Crassus and blinded Publius

stands here before you.

This is an outrage.

A conspiracy.

Consul Crassus and I signed this peace treaty.

So as to guarantee the safety of your brother.

Because your father knew of your evil plan.

So let me ask you on behalf of your father and brother.

What was on your mind

when you ended their lives.

It's never too late to turn back.

Give me your sword.

A real hero

remains accountable until the end.

Right

I did it.

Let's resolve this.

If I made a mistake in this game of chess.

It'd be that I looked down upon you.

No.

You look down on human.

Why are you so eager to end your story?

Not for me. For my friend.

Lucius.

What a good friend you are.

But this is a Roman matter.

You have no right to challenge me to a duel.

Master Publius made Huo An a Roman warrior.

General Lucius put us under his command.

He's one of us now.

Let's resolve this.

You and I.

Well then.

We should give you a proper burial.

Huo An.

Come on.

You're wearing a headband of a dead man

I'd say that's a bad omen.

God will bless us all.

Huo An Huo An... The show is over.

Don't worry.

You'll be with him soon enough.

Huo An.

Stand back.

Power is a conceit

which reveals our limitations.

A real hero

remains accountable to the end.

A real hero

remains accountable

to the end.

Emperor Hanyuan declares.

In appreciation for the bravery of the Roman soldiers

they were granted the right to build a city on the Silk Road.

Since Master Publius was an aristocrat

the city was named Regum,

a symbol for royalty, in Chinese Li Gan.

Wild Geese Gate was granted its wish.

The survivors were allowed to join Huo An

to form a new corps to protect the Western Region.

Soldiers salute First Centurion.

Li Gan.

This is your army.

You make a friend today you lose one tomorrow.

Is it worth it'?

Thank you

I'm really happy we can do this together.

Well... At least we ended on a good note

Christian. There's no ancient city here.

Did you guys find anything?

No, We haven't found anything either

I told you that book was fictitious.

No.

It's an enthralling fairytale.

Peace and harmony one.

Greed and ambition zero.

This land remains ours alone.

What do you say.

We let him shine for another 2000 years
