The Sage of Einar

Einar, who was checking the list of slaves, took a deep breath as he looked at Aila.

"The blue sector must have the following families that are indicated in the document.

You need to ask Evaristus for help to organize the tents with his soldiers and see if the slaves are respecting the rules.

Remember that there should be no stowaways because the blue sector will receive second-class citizenship because it has the most complete families in it.

That group of 10,633 people will be the foundation for the foundation of the 20 villages that will confirm the northwestern part of the island on the Ansgar road.

With them will go the members of the red group, which are 15,378 slaves, who will work to create the necessary towns, roads, and sewers.

When they finish with this work, they will be integrated as second-class citizens so that the villages have a population.

That is, from the northwest of the island, the capital area will be made up of families with children of study age.

That group will be yellow and they will be treated as second-class citizens when they finish helping with the construction of their houses.

Finally, the rest of the 12,439 slaves will work on the creation of the school, the expansions of the imperial palace, and the logistics of materials.

Remember, that group is purple in the hierarchy. Now go and hand over the list while I prepare the logistics of the materials. "

Aila nodded and left Einar's office in the harbor to walk to where Evaristus was with some of his soldiers ordering the slaves in the harbor.

"Commandant Evaristus, I bring Konungar Einar's orders for the order of the blue group that will be heading north to found all the villages.

The red group will go with them, only the yellow and purple groups will stay in the capital. "

Evaristus took the small book with the names of the families and looked at it with some seriousness.

"I was amazed at how King Einar was able to transcribe all these names in just three days.

Perhaps his powers as messiah or herald of Odin bring him such powerful organizational skills. "

Aila smiled and shook her head "I think it is more because of his ability to organize his time. According to Angus, he made an itinerary in which everyone was always working.

Although in the end, he managed to do everything in just three days, I think you will have to do the hardest thing. "

Evaristus laughed and hit his chest "Empress Irene gave us more hard challenges.

This time I will only take half my forces with some soldiers and warriors, to see that all the slaves and second-class citizens can found their new settlements.

In the Roman Empire, we legionaries received training to be able to supervise slaves. I know how to deal with them.

Although it is a sad thing that we have to lose training time with King Einar and Dróttning Laisa.

It will only be temporary because no one gives the confidence to have free slaves and newcomers. They can be dangerous for the development of the tribes.

By the way, many congratulations on obtaining your citizenship, as with your two companions, what you will do now that King Einar appointed you as high priestess of the church.

I think it should be a rank similar to that of the High Pontiff in Rome."

Aila simply scratched her forehead. "It's weird that Angus and Duncan speak to me with respect, but I think I'll eventually adjust to the range.

Fortunately, among the slaves came some scribes and a wonderful group of deacons, along with some novices. I will have the task of educating them so that they can become priests under the Nordic testament.

It will take months, but they will be the backbone to be able to give relief to the faith of all these slaves who only want someone to listen to them.

I also received support from Konungar Einar to be able to choose boys and girls to start as altar boys.

In the future, they will be the new priests and clergy of the church, in addition to the reforms of the Nordic testament.

The abuse of any boy or girl is punishable by death. That horrible ingrained custom has to end.

Hopefully, in Rome, the High Pontiff will implement the same rules ..."

In Rome, Pope Gregory IV sneezed and looked with a smile on his face at the horrible deed he had committed.

Evaristus, who was commanding his soldiers, coordinated with the warriors and soldiers as they advanced with a gigantic group of slaves.

To carry out their work, they would pass town after town to leave the new inhabitants as well as slaves with a group of guards.

When they reached the last town under construction, they would have the duty of creating towns on the Ansgar road.

Which was divided into two, one that ran along the coast and another that ran through the mountains, because of the difficulty they would first create the villages in the mountains.

Later they would create the towns on the coast, but of one thing he was sure, and it was that he would not return until February when the guards would be replaced by the new soldiers.

As a grand procession of people left the capital and embarked on a tour of the Ansgar road, the other soldiers and warriors cared for the two groups that had remained.

All the slaves in the yellow group were quite happy that their children were being fed, and they were full citizens.

Also, having listened to Einar's words, they knew that they would only have to work hard to build their homes.

For this, they would be supervised by the new second-class citizens who had achieved their freedom in recent days.

They had experience with the constructions of the tribe so they would know how to tell them how to make their own house.

For its part, the purple group was also excited because they would get their freedom.

When they finished building all the supply stations and mega-constructions that King Einar planned to build.

Which were the expansions of the imperial palace and the first boarding school of the nation.

Although they did not know that it was a boarding school, if they knew that King Einar had told them that because of the large number of new population, it would have a capacity to house 20,000 children.

For what would be the largest educational institute on the continent, becoming a genuine wonder of humanity for all that it will have inside.

That is why the names of all those who took part in its construction would be written in gold letters on a monument within the educational institution.
