THIS STORY IS INSPIRED BY TRUE EVENTS

In 2015 an American archeologic company

bought a military manuscript from the Han Dynasty

It said Roman soldiers went to China 2000 year ago

and the ancient city of Regum was build

The archeological community believed it was fake

but the company decided to explorer further

James says they'll float a stock offering

on the market the minute we find Regum.

Then we can axcavate 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 gentlement.

It's real

It's real

Regum

Yes.

- 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 nations. - Don't know

"Silk Road Protection Squad"

Quick, who?

Those in white are the White Indians

- The Chief is Alisijiang. - Right.

Those in black area 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, Oke.

You know the drill, Oke, 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 rule of the Silk Road

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

Quick!

You've already lost. Scram.

You Savage

Silk Road Protection Squad

Stop fighting!

Fight them!

We'll handle it

Brother stop fighting

I beg you all

My Hun brother, 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 called me a savage

Success depends not on how many people you have

but on how determined you are

Hands off

Hands off

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

- 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

Actually I came because..,

Drink

I'm ready

I just want to return the veil to you

I didn't see anythink

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 racers

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

This has nothing to do with them

I'll go with you

order from the Prefcture'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 crook

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 live 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 pay respect to him

The gold smuggling

is a complicated case

Once I get more evidance from Ying Po

I'll know what to do

Move

You lot, keep up Move, next.

1, 2

Han Dynasty General Huo Qubing's Shrine

This is the Wild Geese Gate

And I'm Commander here

Everyone call him the Geese Commander

So you're Huo An?

I heard you're good with swords

But I doubt you can take me

Huo An You think that you're skilled in martial arts

But, I can take you down in just ten moves

I think five is sufficient

Dare to try?

Dare you?

Come on!

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 crossbow 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. - Yes, I'm here.

Falco said that you are 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!

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

I am Lucius, Commander General Black Eagle Corps Roman Empire.

Huo An

General

Is there anyway no fight

Return my people You go.

No

We go there

No

General Lucius is fighting like a real demy gods today

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

Great

Huo An you can do it

Look

Sandstorm

Sandstorm!

Sandstorm!

Captain, what are we going to do?

What else can I do?

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 am 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 your a favour this time

Now translate this to them Tomorrow

Tomorrow

Scram

Yesterday

Yesterday

Go!

- 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 where very young

When you finally get the opportunity to chose your own path

you realise there's no where 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 baochou?

This is not your business

Anything happen in Silk Road

is my busness

Revenge make 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?

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

- What? - 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 Panthian Empire is here

Oom St@R

What are you traying to do

No, slowly

Be gentle, what are you doing.

15 days Is it possible?

Men, stop it

Good, go.

See much easier

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 a 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?

- Let's go. - Training.

- What happening? - Watching the Protection Squad training.

You never watch my training

Let's go over there

Position

I bet on the Roman 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

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. - Let's keep going.

I'm fine.

I General Huo swear to God

I will see the flags all of 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?

Excelent, young master.

How do you write "School"?

I served under Consul Marcus Licinius Crassus Dives

He moved his troops to the Parthian Empire

and formed and alliance with the Queen

who is the sister of our Lady Crassus

Consul Marsus' 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 problem 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 told the Parthian Empire

is mean to restore the peace treaty

and prove Tiberius' vicious intentions

I'm orphan Han 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

- We will meet him. - Yes, General.

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 dream 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.

- Captured them alive. - Yes.

Lucius

Lucius

Lucius

Lucius, don't worry about me

Don't push me

Take the kids

Kids hurry up and go, Go.

Batu hurry up and go.

Thank you for rescuing us, My I ask your name?

Rest in Peace

All of you come over here

Go.

Go. 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 wiith Huo's subordinate, Yin Po.

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

As soon as my army settle in at the borders

the entire Silk Road region belongs to 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 heart 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.

Huo An

We fell for Yin Po trap

Sorry

Speak

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 him to acquiesce

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 a families

Now we can all just take the gold and go home

Huo An, If you don't go with them

then we'll die because of you.

We've been slaves all our lives This time we should have the right to make our own decision.

Gfo with them

Huo An, Is 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 the their misfortunes

but we need to contain the pain and turn it into motivation.

A person who only laments the past is a coward

where as 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 achieve between the races.

During that precious time

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

Than 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 our child

Huo An 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 prectical as they reach their end.

Now Huo An

Pledge your allegiance to me

and I will let you live.

How can you 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.

Go home

- 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!

Move

Hey, Huo An. Give us thr key.

Here

They're coming, faster.

Take care of yourself.

Get back

Now kill them all

Shoot

Who shoot that arrow?

Ready armed

Yes, General. Sound the attack.

Kill them.

We have no reason to initiate this fight

Kill him

Ma Chuang

General, The jail has been breached.

Huo An

Well then send more people there

Open the gate

Huo An Is that you?

Yes

Huo An

Huo An

It's you

You have no business in Roman family quarrels

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 your 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 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..

Power is a conceit

which reveals our limitations

A real hero

remains accountable

to the end

Thank you

Well

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.
