Chapter 91: The Medieval Dark Ages

Although the Roman Empire was divided by real name, there was no official announcement or argument, which means that the Roman Empire was only bounded by the border of the middle country, and the east and west did not work with each other. As a result, the Western Roman Empire was formed, with its capital at Rome, and the Eastern Roman Empire with its capital at Constantinople, and because this powerful fortress city was established on top www.biquge.info of the ancient Greek city-state of Byzantium, this empire was also called the Byzantine Empire by later generations.

Of course, the names of these empires, and what happened, had little to do with Hado. At this point he had to return to the "Fare" Mountains to preside over the repair of the city - the Huns did not cause much damage, but the tribesmen who did not know how to operate the defensive machinery damaged many of the originally intact walls. The clogged moats and damaged sluices also need to be dealt with again, and the most important thing to do is the maintenance and teaching of the relevant machinery: Hadu is going to put up a sign next to all the construction machinery, which clearly states the operation, maintenance, repair, and replacement of parts of these machines, and leaves a complete process for the manufacture of replacement parts.

However, it is even more difficult to retrain a new group of experienced craftsmen in the tribe: not to mention that the automatic machinery makes the tribe extremely lazy, and there are not many new generations willing to learn the craftsmanship alone, and many people have a lazy mentality in their hearts that "everything is left to the legendary leader and the machine to do it", which makes it difficult for Hadu to recruit new people only - and to Hadu's dismay, "the laziness of the clan" The value is lower than the value of the people's loyalty to him, so this plunder cannot be launched at all, so there is no shortcut.

At this time, Hadu realized how much impact the automatic machinery had on the way of life of the clansmen, but he could not forcibly remove these machines, which would only make the clansmen fall into a situation from which they could not recover. In this way, Hadu could only think of a targeted solution in distress, until the patriarch of the Ethiopian diocese came to visit.

The patriarch came here to thank Hado for his contribution in attacking paganism, and on the other hand, because of the shortage of manpower after the great development of the Christian church, and hoped that Hadu could assist in training a group of church-specific guards. For the former, Hado received a scepter of the cross from two church leaders that was specially made for him, with which he could be guaranteed not to be harmed by any external force (although Hadu himself felt that it was not of much use), while in the latter, the church said that it could have enough power to keep Hadu unhindered in the spread of Christianity.

For the latter's assurance, Hadu rolled his eyes a little: he was originally unimpeded, but limited to the special strength of certain abilities, he needed to take a slight detour, and there was no place for ordinary people to stop him. However, the Church's request gave him a good idea: he could select a new group of guards from among the ordinary people, take them to teach and train the church guards, so as to gain their trust and loyalty, and then let them return to their old families to promote a new way of life.

However, this method will lead to a problem: there is no longer a distinction between relatives and ordinary people within the clan. It's easy to implement a new way of life, but how to appease the old group of guards and enhance the authority of the new group of guards has become Hado's next headache.

Agreeing to the Patriarch's request, Hado said that he would send a capable general to teach, and then asked the church about the training ground he wanted, and the answer he received made Hadu a little unhappy: the church wanted to send two groups of instructors to train in the two capitals of the Roman Empire. This is different from the "guard" that the Patriarch spoke of at the beginning, and there is no need to think too much about it, the content of separate teaching must be to instruct the weakness of the "other party", that is, cannibalism within the church. Hado's heart was not gloomy at the thought that the students he taught would stand against each other, but the other party's idea was not without market: who could guarantee that the two Roman empires would continue to sit together in the future, in order to continue to control the Christian forces on both sides, the church must of course have strong enough men on both sides to prevent anything that threatens the church itself, and if one side turns against the other, the church guards on both sides will of course refrain because they know each other's weaknesses, at least to ensure that the church can protect itself in the chaos。

For the church to make such a plan, it is actually taking a risk: the actual coach of the church guard is Hado himself, which means that all the weaknesses of these two groups of people are exposed to Hado, if... It's just that if Hadu had the idea of overthrowing the church, then the church would not have any way to resist him. Fortunately, Hadu is really not such a person, he hasn't even taken care of his own family's affairs, how can he have time to think about the affairs of these "rotten, utopian, non-existent" believers in God. ?

After sending off the Patriarch, Hado began three full months of preparations, half of which was spent repairing the city's obscurity, and the rest was spent selecting men and testing the force. At the appointed time, the church sent a carriage to greet him, and assured Hado that during the time Hadu was away, they would send a good man to defend the "Falie"—what kind of men they could have, Hadu knew it clearly, and this was of course just a courtesy gesture of goodwill.

Hado's group of more than 150 people, together with more than 200 sent by the church, stopped in Alexandria for a while, and then set sail for Naples and Constantinople. The men and horses who went to the Western Roman Empire passed through Sicily, and Hado led a team to the Eastern Roman Empire on a voyage to Crete. Within three days, both groups had arrived safely at their destination, and they were housed in Castel Sant'Angelo and Sant'Angelo's Chapel respectively surrounded by church members - when Hadu heard the Ethiopian Patriarch say that he would live in Castel Sant'Angelo, Hado's face changed: it was a mausoleum designed by Emperor Hadrian himself, and now it is used for people, which always feels strange.

Hadu came to Constantinople not only to train the church guards, but also to completely eliminate the influence of polytheism in the two Roman empires. If we could, then we could get rid of the remnants of primitive worship as much as possible, and we would be able to spread monotheism more quickly - and then the realization of global atheism would go one step further.
