Set in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) when ‘The Great Wall of China’ as it exists today, was mainly constructed.
The army wearing their lamellar armour, usually are defending the wall from Genghis Khan & his Mongolian army. But in their surprised and worried state, are defending the wall this time from a great big ‘Oliverus Martensii’ also known as the ‘Chinese armour-tail scorpion’.
This scorpion is often much, much smaller than this scorpion and is an easy to find snack in China. But this scorpion wants revenge. Will the Chinese army be able to beat this giant foe? Will the Great Wall stand tall? or will the armour-tail scorpion reign supreme?
