Chapter 1 The Long River of Time
In October 200 BC, Liu Bang attacked Han Wangxin, and Xin was defeated by the Xiongnu. Manqiuchen and others supported Zhao Li as the king of Zhao. He Han Wang Xin and the Xiongnu soldiers counterattacked the Han army. The Han army was besieged in Pingcheng for seven days. In December, the Xiongnu attacked.
In the winter of 198 B.C., the Han envoys made peace with the Xiongnu.
In the spring of 119 B.C., Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered Wei Qing and Huo Qubing to lead 50,000 cavalry each, and "hundreds of thousands of infantry turning heel troops" went out of Dingxiang and Daijun respectively, and went deep into Mobei to find and destroy the main force of the Xiongnu. Huo Qubing led the army to the north for more than 2,000 miles, crossed the Lihou Mountain, crossed the Gonglu River, engaged in battle with the Xiongnu Zuoxian Wang, annihilated more than 70,000 enemies, captured the Xiongnu Tuntou King, Han Wang and other 3 people and 83 people, including generals, Xiangguo, Danghu, Duwei, etc., and pursued and killed to the Wolf Juxu Mountain (now Kent Mountain, Mongolia), held a sacrifice to the heavens in the Wolf Juxu Mountain, and held a sacrificial Zen ceremony in the Guyan Mountain (now north of the Kent Mountain in Mongolia), and the soldiers were forced to Hanhai (now Lake Baikal, Russia). After this battle, the Xiongnu were swept away by the Han army in the south of the desert, and the Xiongnu fled to the north of the desert, "the Xiongnu fled far away, and there was no royal court in the south of the desert".
In the early 1st century, Jesus of Nazareth began to engage in religious and social activities in Palestine and Asia Minor in the Roman Empire.
In the 30s, Peter recognized Jesus as the Christ and the Son of God in Caesarea. Until Jesus was crucified. Three days later, Peter and other followers of Jesus are said to have witnessed Jesus' resurrection and ascension, which strengthened their faith.
Around 46 years, serious natural disasters occurred in the Xiongnu country, and most of the people and animals died of hunger. The ruling class was divided into the north and the south because of the struggle for power and profit. The Southern Xiongnu descended to Han, and the Northern Xiongnu moved westward.
In the 60s, Peter rushed to Rome, the capital of the Roman Empire, to preach and organize the fifth first Roman church, and was later crucifixed by the Roman Emperor "Nero". Legend has it that before his martyrdom, Peter asked his executioners to crucify him upside down because he did not deserve to be crucified like Jesus Christ. It is for St. Peter's Cross (St. Peter's Cross).
In the 70s, the Jerusalem Temple was destroyed, the Jews scattered all over the world, and the authenticity of Judaism was broken; Five early Christian churches were formed. including the Roman Church, which was inherited from Peter, was the Western Church; Andrew's Greek Church (Constantinople), Jacob's Jewish Church (Jerusalem), Malgu's Egyptian Church (Alexander), Paul's Antioch Church, were the Eastern Churches.
He was succeeded by St. Queleman (Clement I) on 26 April 91 and is said to have been martyred on 23 November 101 (25 November in the Julian calendar). During his reign, Kleman dealt with disputes over the Kosling church through the First Epistle of Kleman. The bishops of Rome gradually became arbiters of the Church everywhere. It is for the germ of papal (papal system).
In the 2nd century, the 5th Bishop, St. Epharide, established a system of cardinals that elected religious leaders. The 9th St. Ezzy established the rank and authority of the clergy, as well as the system of baptizing newborns with the status of "godparents" (surrogate parents). The 12th Sanctuary Dolu (Shad) put forward the idea that "a marriage that is not officiated by a priest is invalid". The 14th Victor I established Latin as the official language of the Roman Church.
In 151 A.D., the Han general Sima Da led the Han army to attack the Pu Shihai and hit the Huyan King of the Northern Xiongnu, who was defeated and led the Northern Xiongnu to continue to retreat westward.
Constantine was born in Niš, present-day Serbia, in 280 AD.
In 290 AD, the Huns began to operate around the kingdom of Alan.
In 306 AD, Constantius died of illness, and Constantine succeeded him as emperor of the Western Empire with the support of his army. However, some of the empire's generals were not convinced, and a civil war broke out.
In 312 AD, Constantine was said to have defeated the challenger Maxenti at the Battle of the Milvia Bridge, with the blessing of Christ.
In 313 AD, Constantine I and Licinius issued the Edict of Milan, which legalized Christianity.
In 325 AD, under the auspices of the Roman Emperor Constantine I, the Christian Church convened a worldwide synod of bishops in the city of Nicaea in northern Anatolia, attended by about 300 bishops, to address some long-standing theological and ecclesiastical issues. Constantine himself had no interest in theology, and his aim was to secularize Christian doctrine and help consolidate the unity of the empire. A complex struggle was ensued between Arians, who advocated that "the Father precedes the Son, and the Son is created and inferior to the Father" (the Arian sect, in which the barbarians believe in this sect) on the one hand, and Athanassius, who insists that "the Father and the Son are incarnate" on the other (the Roman Orthodox Church, as the name suggests, the majority of the Romans believe in this sect). As a result, the Council, under the influence and supervision of Emperor Constantine, affirmed that Christ was both a fully God and a fully human being, that he existed at the beginning of time, that he was only incarnated in human form at a specific time, that he was born into the earth, that he preached in the name of Jesus, and that he was finally put to death. All the bishops signed the Nicene Creed. But this decision was not fully recognized, and Constantine exiled Arius and other bishops who refused to sign the Nicene Creed. (Note: This meeting is the first Congress of Nicaea. )
In 330 AD, Constantine I moved the capital of the Roman Empire from Rome to Byzantium, renaming it Constantinople.
On May 22, 337 C.E., Constantine was baptized on his deathbed and ascended to the kingdom of heaven of his dreams as a Christian.
In 350 AD, the Huns destroyed the kingdom of Alan.
In 374 AD, the Huns invaded the Dnieper River and engaged the Goths.
In 376 AD, the Huns defeated the Goths, who fled into the Roman Empire.
In 380 AD, the First Council of Constantinople was convened, the Holy Spirit was accepted as the Triune Godhead, and the Arians were again denounced as heretics. By this time, the theology of the Trinity had largely been established as orthodox.
In 406 A.D., the Hun "Attila" was born.
In 418 AD, Attila was sent to the Roman court as one of the hostages in the Treaty of Peace. At the same time, the Huns also received Aetius as a hostage. While in Rome, Attila received a good education at the court, where she learned about the traditions and customs of the Romans, as well as their lavish lifestyle. The Romans hoped that this would enable him to bring Roman culture back to the Huns' territory and spread it, so as to increase Roman influence over the surrounding peoples. The Huns, on the other hand, hoped that the exchange of hostages would allow them to obtain more information about Rome's interior.
In 432 AD, the Hun tribes were unified under the leadership of Lujia.
After Ruja's death in 434 AD, he was succeeded by his two nephews, Attila and Breda, who ruled over the Huns.

"Saber~~~~~~" Rin quietly slipped back behind Artoria and patted her on the shoulder.
"Ahh Rin ...... The end of today's lesson? Artoria closed the book in her hand.
"Well, it's over." Rin stood there with a slim and elegant demeanor.
"There's a book you're interested in~~~~~ Rin finally finds out that Artoria has been holding the same book for the past few days.
"The Cambridge History of the World, which I borrowed from the university library." Artoria held the book to his chest, and if he changed into a student uniform, his innocent temperament could simply go to take a photo.
"History~~~~~ still can't let go......" In the corridor, Rin and Artoria walked side by side.
"This ...... At last...... Reminisce. Artoria bowed her head.
"That's right!" Rin detoured in front of Artoria and grabbed her arm.
"Rin?" Artoria looked up and looked at Rin with some confusion.
"Do you have a library card?" Rin suddenly remembered something, afraid that Artoria would kick in the door and get the book like some emperor. If that's the case, maybe the police are on their way by now.
"When I walked to the door, a male classmate kindly asked me if I had forgotten my library card...... After borrowing the book, I chatted with him for a while, a very nice person~~~~" Artoria didn't make any fuss like Rin.
"That's good...... Even if my Saber teased him for a while, it would be better than being caught......" Rin looked relieved.
"Speaking of which...... There's a place I've always wanted to take you to, but ......" Rin hesitated.
"But?" Artoria looked at Rin suspiciously, for some reason she had such an expression when she had always been quick and capable.
"Glastonbury...... Legend...... It's your graveyard ......" Rin stared at Artoria tightly, afraid that she would react badly.
"My ...... Cemetery? Artoria was a little unresponsive.
"Ah~~~~ Don't continue such a bad topic~~~~~ turn over ~ turn over ~ " Rin waved his hand.
"Rin." Artoria took Rin's hand.
"Eh......"
"Go ahead!"
Looking at Artoria's determined eyes, Rin finally relented.
The next day, early in the morning, on the travel agency bus
"Glastonbury is associated with the famous myths and legends of Joseph Arimathea, the Holy Grail and King Arthur. In 1191, the monks at the monastery claimed to have found the tombs of King Arthur and Guinavia in the Church of Our Lady in the abbey, and many scholars suspect that the discovery was an ungodly forged tomb to attest to the long history of ancient Glastonbury and to add to its fame. Some Arthurian literature has been found in Glastonbury in connection with the legendary island of Avalon. According to some versions of Arthurian legend, Lancelot eventually went to Glastonbury Abbey to confess Arthur's death. On the bus, the tour guide gave a detailed introduction to the history of Glastonbury.
“Saber…… Are you sure you want to ......" Rin still cherishes Artoria very much, for fear that she will have problems once she touches her grave.
"It's okay...... I have promised him that I will be by your side and pursue your own future with you. Artoria took Rin's hand.
"I know, but the consequences are unpredictable. Anyway, I will stand behind you, and if something happens, you have to call me in time. Rin involuntarily clenched Artoria's hand.
"Hmm." Even Artoria couldn't say if he would disappear suddenly, so he couldn't comfort Rin.
Squeak squeak...... A continuous braking sound was heard. The bus arrived.
"Now it's free time, please come back before the evening." Ignoring the shouts of the guide's young lady, Rin and Artoria walked directly to the legendary "Tomb of King Arthur" according to the signs.
Ruins of Old Glastonbury Church
"Go ahead, I'll watch you here." Then came the solemn moment, and although Rin wanted to follow up, she didn't want to be interrupted by her presence at this sacred moment where the past and the present meet.
"Well, thank you, Rin." Artoria let go of Rin's slightly trembling hand and walked step by step into the legendary "Tomb of King Arthur".
"Hic_jacet_ArthurusRex_quondam_Rexque_futurus (where Arthur, the King of Eternity, rests)." Artoria softly read out the epitaph on the sign.
"Is there something wrong with my ears?" Artoria could clearly hear shouts of murder in the distance, but this part of modern life told her that it was impossible.
She looked around, and the scenery was still the same.
"It's me who is overly sensitive......"
Just as she lowered her head and looked at the tomb plaque again, the sound of breaking the sky came from far and near.
"Whoosh-"
"Ugh!" This time, she believed she had heard correctly.
"Ahh Yet her body was frozen like lead.
"Poof......" The arrow stabbed her shoulder.
"What?!" Artoria looked over his shoulder, a wave of dizziness and the pain of the wound flooded his mind.
"......" she wanted to shout Rin, but when she looked up again, a river stretched in front of her, and on the other side of the river, there was a group of people she had never seen before, they were riding war horses, holding bows, wearing scaly armor, and bright red helmets on their heads, such costumes Artoria had seen in books.
The Huns ...... plopped and she fell to the ground.
