Thor tightened his sword around his waist, and the gauntlet of the one-handed sword was hollowed out with a piece of solid gold insignia, showing his illustrious status as a Viking nobleman.

Behind him, spearmen lined up in a neat phalanx, and heavy siege ladders and trebuchets were slowly being pushed into the battlefield by soldiers from behind.

In front of him was the strongest castle in the world, Constantinople.

Due to the disturbance of a certain time-traveler, the timeline opened a bifurcated continent of Europa, and the Vikings did not attack this fortified city in the 9th century AD, until the middle of the 9th century, after Oleg established the principality of Kievan Rus', and led 3,000 warships and 100,000 troops to surround Constantinople.

The incident that originally happened in the timeline of Gu State, when the Byzantine emperor bought the Vikings with preferential trade terms did not happen, but instead there was a confrontation between blood and fire.

Without the blessing of black powder, the eight-meter-high façade of Constantinople could not be easily breached, and Torle, the vanguard of the Thunder, was promoted to this forward position.

As cannon fodder for the siege, the Viking baron was hit in the head by the first round of rolling log attacks by the Byzantines and died on the spot with the glory of nobility.

However, the absurd historical line is always accompanied by a dramatic unfolding.

When Tolle's brain recounted his life and opened his eyes again, he found that it was not his loyal private soldiers or the Byzantines who had killed him, because even the lowliest Byzantine peasants could not have been dressed in tattered animal skins.

Like Gu Guo, the voice of the system sounded in his head.

Toller was sure he was dead, and the last thing he remembered was the blood-red walls of Constantinople.

"Odin, did you give me a new life?"

Torle, who suddenly knelt down, frightened the people around him and stepped forward to ask why.

Inquiries such as who Odin is and what nonsense you are talking about are endless, and he is completely confused.

"Do you know Jesus Christ?"

The clansmen still looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise.

Tolle, who came from the end of the 9th century, naturally did not understand the black technology of real-time translation of the system, and even the mouth shape of the primitive and his speech had been harmonized into the way they wanted to see it.

The group of people in front of him, dressed in animal skins and speaking Viking, did not know the Norse gods, not even Christ and the stars and moons!

There is absolutely no such place on the continent of Europa!

"Where the hell is this?"

"Have I really been resurrected by the gods to lead this group of people to develop?"

Heading south from Norway to the Balkans, Torre saw slaves on the aristocratic estates, as ignorant and uncivilized as the group of people in front of him.

Since Norway and Denmark were not suitable for farming, the only way for the Vikings to expand was by plunder.

Like the northern nomads of the Chinese dynasties, the Vikings developed a pirate culture over the centuries, and the word farming did not exist in Tolle's thinking.

Looking at the group of clansmen in front of him, he was already thinking in his heart about how to make up a myth and drive these people to work for him.

In the past, Grand Duke Oleg, who was born to establish the Rus' principality, was used as a model, and Tolle, who was also a noble baron, decided to start copying homework.

First, he concocted a whole set of Norse mythology, which was deeply embedded in the minds of his tribesmen.

One of the conjectures why Homo sapiens, who migrated north from Africa in ancient times, were able to defeat Neanderthals with larger brain capacity than them is that Homo sapiens developed faith, and the primitive totem of faith united hundreds of Homo sapiens to finally defeat Neanderthals, who were superior in intelligence and physique.

The religious beliefs that Tolle brought with him from the 9th century AD were invincible in this era, and the theory of self-justifying interpretation of the world spread among a group of primitive people, spreading like a dimensionality reduction blow to the surrounding tribes.

Religious ideas based on utilitarianism have united the people of Torle around themselves, and their only purpose is to achieve ultimate happiness, so what is the thing that primitive people think of as happiness?

Of course, it's to be well fed and clothed.

So the tribes led by Torle all set out to quickly raid the surrounding tribes, and those who were looted were also influenced by his thoughts, following behind the plundering army, and wielding butcher's knives at the weaker.

In just five years, religious beliefs from thousands of years ahead of this era quickly swept tens of thousands of square kilometers of land, and the brown-haired crowd gathered around Torle was as many as 3,000.

They cut all the way from the subarctic zone at 60 degrees north latitude to the temperate zone at 50 degrees north latitude, and no tribe could resist their faith and blade.

The plundered tribes were either rewound under stone axes, their flesh thrown into the oil pot of this Viking-led legion, or they chose to become their slaves and serve the dozens of upper classes.

Torle proclaimed himself Viking king, and the dozens of people he had first united were now the nobles of the legion.

According to the amount of goods obtained from the plunder, Torle gave them the titles of barons and viscounts, who also had the right to private soldiers.

So a king with dozens of nobles, hundreds of private soldiers and thousands of slaves under the command of the nobles, was marching towards the southeast.

What he had encountered and heard in the past five years made it clear to Toller that the place where God had resurrected him did not belong to the continent of Europa at all, and that he could see it by the bright red moon in the sky alone.

This must be a new continent, and it is full of ignorant slaves and people who are about to become slaves.

And he will serve as the sword of the Norse gods and the principality of Kievan Rus, carving out a territory belonging to the Vikings to the east and south.

He had heard of a group of black-eyed and black-haired Huns in the far east, and the further south he went, the darker his hair and pupils became, which convinced him of his own judgment that he was now in the north of the Asiatic continent, and further south, he could compete with the Huns on the steppes.

It is said that further south, there was an empire of Seris, rich in silk, and that he had seen a few pieces of finely stitched silk cloth in the castle of a Roman marquis, but after cutting off the nobleman's head, the silk became his own.

Believing that he had no taboos in Eastern Siberia, Tolle did not have to worry about unbridled plundering and killing leading to God's crusades, and that the Romans and Ottomans would not jump out halfway to stop his progress......

This is the gap between the thinking and insight of Gu Guo, a man born in the information age, and Tolle, an ancient man in the Middle Ages.

Gu Guo determined that the place he was in on the first night was a different world, and Tolle had to come to a wrong conclusion after five years of campaigning.
