The Guillotines

To rid Qing of its final threat

When death is distant

we know no fear

Without blood on our swords

we know only fear

Only when our hands are bloodied

and we conquer our fear

can we hope to fight our enemies!

The Herders will gather in Beijing

to present a special gift to Qianlong

We've been betrayed

Leng, Field Commander

Chen Tai, Vanguard

Su, Intelligence, Defense

Buka, Vanguard

Shisan, Defense

Musen, Defense

Attack

I've seen you before

Why don't you just kill me?

The Guillotines were a covert operation

created at the start of Qing Dynasty

to quash the resistance

Guillotines were all of Manchurian descent

They posed as the Emperor's groundskeepers

taking care of the Imperial court's

surroundings

with mysterious identities

To ensure their loyalty

they were forbidden to learn to read and write

control by trigger

before the advent of firearms

Who defied orders and put the team at risk?

Tell me!

I just reacted to the situation

You will not take part in tomorrow's mission

No!

Sir

Sir

I'm responsible for their mistakes

Musen is always the last to leave training

As a female Guillotine...

The late emperor issued an edict

before I was born

Boy or girl

your command was to be passed on

to your offspring

Sir!

Dismissed

Leng stays

Musen

Take it easy

No one will reproach you once you're the Chief

That's right

When your father passes

everyone will obey you

When the late emperor sent you here

did you ever imagine reaching these heights?

I'm nothing

without the Guillotines

If only you are my son

Watch over Musen tomorrow

Yes, sir

I waited for you my whole life

Just get to it

What do you have to tell me?

I've seen you before

How old are you?

Are you Manchu

or worse?

Do you think you have me trapped?

Do you really think I could

be captured so easily?

And you?

Who do you think you are?

A false prophet of the lowest caste!

I've had a recurring dream

In the dream, a man kills me

until last night

I finally saw it

It was you

No, no, no

Even if I don't kill you now

tomorrow, you'll be executed

in the market

The time's not right

So I won't die tomorrow...

except if you are the executioner

I can be

You can't

Guillotines can't be seen in broad daylight

What if you die tomorrow

will my fate change?

The rebel Wolf

and his cohorts

have been convicted

of treason

Sentenced to death

by decapitation

Execute the Herders!

As caution to others!

Kill all the Herders!

Long live the Great Qing!

Han man?

How much?

Five taels

You're Han slaves without souls

I'll come back to free you!

Wolf!

I'm sorry

Wolf

Rest in peace

Attack!

Do it

Attack!

Attack!

Now!

Emperor Qianlong, born Hongli

Musen

Musen

If we dispatched the firearms squad

Wolf wouldn't have escaped

Today

my daughter, Musen, is dead to me

Now she's dead

you're free to hunt down Wolf

Yes sir!

Remember

your lives belong to the imperial court

and to your fellow Guillotines

I was liked you

Joined the Guillotines as an orphan

The Guillotines is my home

Now I entrust everything to you

If possible

bring back Musen's body

We'll take the female Herder Bailan along

when the chance comes

we'll exchange her for Musen

The emperor assigned an imperial guard

named Haidu to accompany you

Beware of this man

We're spending the night here?

Do you have a problem?

Dogs!

They call themselves Guillotines?

Are they for real?

Didn't we play like this as children?

You compare them with us?

Your Majesty

we've gathered children from the Eight Clans

Their star signs are aligned with Prince Hongli

Hongli, Qianlong

Emperor Yongzheng

Your Majesty, please choose two

to serve the prince

He's Feimo Haidu of Zhenghuang Clan

His stars are the most auspicious match

for the Prince

But...

Your Majesty

Which one should we send

to train as a Guillotine?

Haidu is staunch and loyal

tell me that he's ready

and willing to die for Hongli

Guillotines have no identity, no position

Haidu should stay with Hongli

Send Leng to the Guillotines

Leng

Haidu

You will be remembered

for your contributions to the empire

I wish I were send to the Guillotines

instead of you

You are too soft

How can you treat those thugs like brothers?

Stand her up

Pull the rope

Hit her

We are in Wolf's presence already?

"I'm waiting for you" Wolf

It's just the beginning

Let's go

Get down, b*tch

Leng

What is this?

We tossed her into the well

If we can't find Musen

we'll return and finish her off

You weren't part of our plan

Want to be part of the team?

Alright...

Watch the female Herder

Let's go

We're thugs

We're thugs

You die

U:

Yes, Leng

Wuguan Region

on a white tiger in white armor

we strike back twofold

If someone kicks us

we chop off his foot

If someone bullies us

we'll show him how it feels to be bullied

It's Wolf

StOP

Move over!

Wan Jiang

Base Commander, Green Army

Where're you from?

We're from the Capital

What's your business?

Tea merchants

We're just here to do business

Please let us pass

The Capital

Retreat!

We need to be careful

We're surrounded by Han Chinese

they consider us the enemy

Come out here

Let me go

Don't move!

Sit down!

Run!

It's smallpox!

Run!

I found out

Where do the Herders keep their explosives?

Can you pay me first?

Thank you

You must know

that one of us was killed

you don't stand a chance against them

Stay here

You trust a man like him?

You may 99

You trust that thug over me?

I only trust my men

Where's the female Herder?

I killed her

him too

Idiots

Let's split up

check for signs of activity in the East Market

Buka

Search the residential area

Shisan

Take the crowds in the North End

If someone strikes us

We strike back twofold

If someone kicks us

we chop off his foot

We'll show you how it feels to be bullied

If you stay

You die

If someone

We strike back twofold

That's loads

That's a lot of money

Run!

Thief

Don't hurt my father

Don't hurt my father

Don't hurt my father

Don't hurt my father

"Peach Blossom Spring"

Bravo

Buka can read quite a few words

You spied on my brothers?

Your brothers?

I taught them how to write their names

ls his name "Peach Blossom Spring"?

Do you want to get them killed?

Leng

Once you capture Wolf

you will rejoin me at court

On the 15th day of the 8th month

the Firearms Squad will be made official

I'll assign you two

to lead the squad

What about the Guillotines?

Your Majesty I beg you to spare my brothers

are your only brothers

didn't send me to the Guillotines

to destroy them

My father sent you to the Guillotines

to work for me

You serve me

Have you forgotten?

Come on

Haidu will assist you in this mission

and succeed

They work for Gong-e

It's their fate

We work for His Majesty

That's our fate

The shadow plays are all about Wolf

I found these leaflets circulating

in the market

Who in this hellhole would read this stuff?

This one stands out

among all the paper stencils we've found

There's a Herder symbol in the center
