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.

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.

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 Go Please go Lucius Go 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 Don't push me Take the kids Kids hurry up and go, Go. Batu hurry up and go. Go Thank you for rescuing us, My I ask your name? My name is Moon, Huo An's wife. - It's not true Duck. - Get down. Duck, don't move. Hurry, take the kids to the second floor. - Doon't be scared, run to the second floor. - Hurry up and go to the second floor. Quick Send the kids down Quick, Quick. - Don't be affraid. - Book.

Teacher. - Go. - Go. 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!

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 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 Land of my forefathers Forever brimming with glory A land of beauty Home of the courageous Our Eternal Rome The might of enemy ships Threatens us in vain It is a hopeless quest Emperor Hanyuan declares In appreciation for the bravery 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 it's wish The Survivors were allowed to join Huo An to form a new corps to protect the Western Region. Soldiers salute Turn foes into friends For the trumpets of War Will call our Legions soon And across the fatherland A victory song will ring And across the fatherland Our song will resonate A time of joy and pride For Eternal Rome First Centurion You make a friend today you lose one tommorow 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. |
