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
...
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
Huns
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
- 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
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
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
Beat the drums
That scared them! Counter attack!
Stop!
Great
Huo An you can do it
Come on. Try.
Look! Sandstorm!
Sandstorm
Captain, what are we going to do?
What the hell can I do?
Hey, listen to me
Huo An I did you a favour this time
Now translate this to them. Tomorrow.
Scram
Yesterday
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
They said they can complete it within 15 days
It'll take a long time gathering the stones and even longer to transport them
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
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. Is it possible?
Leave after you grab them
Haven't you eaten yet? You fatty don't get in my way
Lower, a bit more, that's it
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
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
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?
- 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!
General
General Lucius, our reinforcement is here
General Lucius

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

- Kids hurry up and go - Go
Batu hurry up and go

Sun

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
Captain
We fell for Yin Po's trap
50m!
Go ahead
Captain. Something happened
before you returned this morning
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. 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 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
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
How can you not live up to your words?
I got the key
You also got caught, how are you going to help the others
So what now?
Unlock me first
Everyone understand?
Here
Take care of yourself
Get back
Kill them!
Now, kill the bastards
Shoot
Who shot that arrow?
Kill them
Ma Chuang
Kill them
We shall meet again
Get ready
Forward
Charge!
Brothers charge
Attack
Moon go rescue Huo An
Go
Close your eyes
Kill them
Fight them
What are you doing here? Go
Hurry now
I want to die with you
Captain
Sun
Come on
God will bless us all
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
