Plot
A group of adventurers-traders makes a long trip in order to get to China. A serious matter leads them to the Celestial Empire - they heard that there is an unknown weapon that has tremendous destructive power. Despite the fact that they are experienced travelers, this trip becomes a real test for them. On the way, they meet the nomads of Khitani. Those are doing their best to prevent their mission. As a result, there are only two of them. William and Perot move slowly toward the goal. When only a few kilometers remain to the desired place, they are attacked by an unprecedented monster. A giant-sized creature tries to destroy the travelers, but William manages to chop off his paw. The beast retreats, but travelers are captured.
Soldiers of the Nameless Order lead the merchants to their commander so that he decides their fate. They looked more than repulsive - for several months without a razor and water procedures they turned young men into real tramps. It was decided not to immediately execute the insolent, but to give them the opportunity to explain how they defeated the ominous creature. After the travelers put themselves in order, they came under the supervision of Lin Mei. The girl was an experienced warrior and showed how the construction of the Great Wall is progressing. Why did the Chinese need this wall, they learned in just a few hours.
An ancient prophecy came true - countless creatures approached the borders of the city and began to attack enemies. The warriors boldly accepted the battle and managed to repel the first attack. They even managed to captivate one beast. He should have been delivered to the emperor’s palace. At that moment, it turned out how William managed to defeat the terrible beast - there was an ordinary magnet in his bag, and he brought the monster into a state of stupor. This discovery can play an important role in the decisive battle.
While William helped the Chinese repel the attack, Perot conspired with another captured European and escaped, grabbing a small amount of secret weapons, which turned out to be black gunpowder. The next attack led to the death of the city, and the creatures moved on - to the capital. William and Lin Mei had time before the enemies, but they failed to save the inhabitants and prevent the destruction. Only at the last moment on the verge of life and death could they destroy the leader. As a reward, William asked for the release of his comrade, who was captured during an attempt to escape.
