Chapter Eighty-Eight: A Fleeting Opportunity

Could it be that Hadu just let go of such a great opportunity to change the tribe and continue to walk on a path out of touch with the times, which not only does him no good (no backup), but also puts the tribe in a state of no recovery (crushed by the technology of the times). But if you want the clansmen to listen to him www.biquge.info you can't do it by simply plundering the clansmen, after all, the population base in the clan is indeed terrifyingly low, and Hadu can't come up with any particularly powerful technology that can greatly improve the production and living standards of the clansmen. His consideration was nothing more than the hope that his people would continue to remain unborn, so that they could avoid being harassed by foreigners. At least Hado is still able to ensure that the tribesmen will not be disturbed too much, even if such an annoying ethnic group as the Jewish exiles are not afraid to approach at will due to Hado's force, as long as the tribesmen do not go out to provoke, there is basically no need to worry about the risk of life.

In fact, the key that really made Hadu consider giving up this opportunity was that he finally discovered the difference between his tribe and other foreign tribes: the Jews, for example, appeared among them such predators as Moses, John, Peter, and even Jesus, and they appeared at the same time, not until one passed away and the other appeared, but in "Koman'ne" , there are no other predators other than Hado, which means that none of his people have the ability to predate, so they can't be the backup that Hadu really needs.

In this case, it is not necessary to reform the tribe, and how can it be so entangled in whether the tribe can persist despite the continuous development of the outside world. And whether it is for Hadu or the people, in fact, their hearts are full of disgust and resistance to change again--look at the previous tribal reorganization, which has left some of the future generations. The originally vast and well-behaved and powerful tribe has become a third-rate tribe that is almost eliminated by the times, and the total population is not even comparable to that of those small city-states of foreign races. ?

In this way, if it is said that Hadu gave up this opportunity, it is better to say that all the tribesmen in the tribe reached a consensus at this time, but this time they are of the same heart and mind as Hadu.

Of course, Hadu also knew that if this continued, it would not take a few hundred years for the tribes to disappear from the world completely: the tribes were generally reluctant to have children, the level of production was low, the basic population was weak, and the literacy rate was greatly reduced; the size of the foreign tribe was increasing, the number of foreigners in exile in Ethiopia was increasing, and the phenomenon of interracial and pagan mixing was serious, and serious conflicts would soon break out. In such an environment, Hadu can only protect one year at a time, and he has no ability to fundamentally solve this troublesome matter.

He also noticed that the predatory power of the foreign tribes was beginning to appear, and it was not limited to families and clans, but was increasingly organized in the form of the tribal alliance. But at this point, in view of the suppression of Christianity within the Roman Empire, neither the Christian Church nor the Demon Church now dare to act rashly - they are not like Hado's ability to kill and control, at most they can fool ordinary people, and in front of the Roman legions all over the mountains, they still have to flee for their lives.

It may have been due to the long-term supply lines that threatened Hado, or it could have been impossible for the Romans to have human life south of Egypt, and at least so far there have been no large-scale organized conquests in the vicinity of Ethiopia. However, Hadu was a little uncertain about how long this advantage would last: since the homeless people who lacked food and clothing could find a place to settle here, the Romans would sooner or later find a way to conquer them, whether by land along the river or by sea near the Sea of Blood to land on the coast of Ethiopia.

Therefore, Hado wondered whether to build a new ring of defenses: along the foot of the "Fareh" mountain, a canal channel 200 paces wide and four people deep, and store the water from the "Fare" as a new natural hazard for the "Koman'ne" - at least in the way of warfare in this era, it is unlikely that such a wide river can be crossed without a boat ferry. In addition, Hadu considered moving some sharp-toothed piranhas from near Ephesus and Byzantium, but considering that he was now being offered a bounty by the Romans, this plan had to be put aside for now.

The excavation of the canal is not a simple matter: according to Hado's plan, the old site of "Ka-Sin-Ki" (which has long since disappeared into the forest) will be submerged, not only that, but the "Cin-Din-Ta" used as an emergency shelter for the tribe may also be used because the terrain is lower than the canal, and the old site of "Luo-Fe-Yon" (now a gathering place for artisans) will be abandoned due to the cutting off of the water source. In general, the canal project was difficult, and if it was necessary to move the area to which the tribesmen were accustomed to living, they would oppose Hado's plan, and if the canal was to be built, the defense capacity would be reduced due to the lack of water, and if water was diverted from other river basins, it would conflict with the basic principle of "hidden protection" - so that the enemy would be more likely to find the location of the "Koman'ne", and would not be putting the cart before the horse.

In the end, with the input of many opinions within the clan (in fact, craftsmen, guards, farmers, and ordinary clansmen), Hado decided to keep the original plan unchanged, but some important areas would be adjusted to underground rivers, bypassing or skipping target areas that might be flooded, and ensuring the defense capability while ensuring that the production and life of the tribe were not disturbed.

As for the actual construction of the canal, Hado can be regarded as a great power in front of the new generation of people, and it also makes them really admire this unknown age of the leader from the bottom of their hearts - Hado personally created a wide and rippling defensive canal with the ability of clay plasticity, iron manipulation, and water channeling, and then set up several more tributaries and sluices, so that when the enemy releases poison into the river, the sluice can be closed to prevent problems with the water in the city.

In addition, the construction of the city wall along the river bank was also on the agenda: anyway, Hadu only needed to ensure that so many remaining tribesmen could live in peace, and the wall did not need to be too big, so that it could enclose the main area at the foot of the "Falie" mountain, and as for the outer campsites, Hadu asked those tribesmen to move to live in the canal, which was much easier to protect.
