Rome Must Fall

Compared with the twenty-nobility system mentioned by Nicokus (after all, some people heard Maximus announce it in public when they fled to the main village), the words that the Nyx tribe was favored by the goddess Danu told Seges who was present. The people of Tika were even more shocked. After all, many people had been confused: the battles of the Segostika tribe had been very smooth in the past. Since the Nix people came, the tribe had lost consecutive battles against the Nix people who were far weaker than themselves. , lost everything in just over a year, why is this? Perhaps what this compatriot who defected to the Knicks tribe said is the answer!

In addition, the words "Goddess Danu is fair, and people who have made more contributions to the tribe should receive more rewards." This sentence also shocked the people of Segostika, as if giving them that long-term A skylight opened up for the brains that had been imprisoned by various long traditions of Pannoni, and many people fell into thinking.

Nikokus continued: "You may think that by joining the Nix tribe, you can not only get fifty acres of land, but also get the blessing of the gods. This is great, isn't it? Is it a lie? Of course It's not that simple!

You should all know that if other Pannoni tribe members want to join the Segestica tribe, they have to live here for many years before they can get a share of the land, unless they join the army of Chief Andres and pay with their blood. Only after he has made military exploits and defeated the Ardei people will he be given a small piece of the captured land. The Knicks tribe is not so demanding, but you still need to join the tribe and become a reserve tribe in the first three years...

Some people may think that handing over 60% to the Knicks tribe is too much! But you have to understand that what you get every year is 40% of the income from the fifty acres of land, which is more than what you will actually gain from the land you currently own.

And if you perform well or perform meritorious service in battle during these three years, you may become an official ethnic minority in less than three years. For example, it only took me less than a year to not only become a formal ethnic minority, but also be promoted to a second-class ethnic minority. I believe that you who join the Nyx tribe and receive the blessing of the gods will be as lucky as me! "

There was a lot of commotion in the originally quiet square, and people were whispering to each other and starting to discuss.

Starks felt that this was a good sign and was about to praise Nikokus in a low voice: "Well done!"

Suddenly someone asked loudly: "If we are willing to join the Knicks, but there are no men in the family, will we also be given land?!"

Starks looked intently and saw that the person speaking was a middle-aged woman. Standing beside her were three children, two boys and a girl.

Staggs was surprised. He did not expect that the first question raised by the people of this tribe was actually related to a decree that they learned about the urgent revision of the political hall before leaving.

According to the previous Nix law, single women who join the tribe in the future, or women with children or without husbands, will not be allocated separate land. This is also to encourage them to get married and have children quickly, but yesterday the soldiers of the Third Army arrived. When they went to liberate Skodisci slaves and collect food and grass in the villages around the main stronghold, they discovered some problems. Aeolochus summarized the problems and reported them to Maximus last night.

Originally, Maximus and the chief officials of various ministries had already completed the political hall meeting at the dining table, and had to hold urgent discussions again.

Two of those issues primarily conflict with the Knicks' edicts.

One is that in order to prepare enough rations for the army attacking the Nyx tribe, Kabdus required each tribe to hand over more food, and this task of handing over food was more passed on to the ordinary people, so Segas There is not much food left in the common people of the Tika tribes. If it is divided into four or six, they will not be able to survive until next autumn. Therefore, Maximus and the chief officials of the various ministries finally canceled the plan to share the food among the people of Segestika. Food decision.

Another major problem is that the Segestica people have suffered miserably in many battles with the Nyx people in the past two years. A large number of warriors either died in battle or were captured, resulting in a serious shortage of young adults in various tribes. Many families have Only women and children are left. They can be more easily persuaded to join the Nyx tribe, but if they are not given land and are forced to marry quickly, it will undoubtedly arouse the dissatisfaction of the Segestika people and make them suspicious. Sincerity from the Knicks tribe.

After discussion, Maximus and the others formulated a temporary decree for this special situation of the Segestica tribe.

"According to the new law enacted by Nickus, as long as there is a boy over six years old in the family, even if there is no man in the family, he can be allocated fifty acres of land." Nikokus responded seriously: "However, if there is no man in the family, Guang It will be very hard for women to farm the land, let alone raise children, so I advise you to find an official member of the Nyx tribe to marry.

In this way, not only will you directly gain the status of an official member of the Knicks, but so will your children. They will also immediately enjoy some of the benefits provided by the Knicks tribe, such as being able to study in tribal schools and go to hospitals for medical treatment. Spend less…

Let me tell you a secret. There are many single tribesmen in the Nyx tribe. If you choose a tribe that is not a Pannoni to get married, you will also receive rewards from the tribe... In short, think about it. "

The woman was deep in thought,

Another woman asked loudly: "I have a husband, but he was recruited by the leader to fight with you. I don't know if he was captured by you, or has... died in the battle? If he is still alive, my children and I Join your Knicks tribe, can you release my husband and let him go home?"

The woman looked at Nikokus nervously and expectantly. Although some other women did not speak, they all focused on him with the same expression on their faces.

Nikokus did not answer immediately, but was a little distracted for a while, and then said with a complicated expression: "The question you asked reminded me of how I refused to join the Nyx tribe after I was captured last year. We were sent to the Ardi people as slaves along with other companions. Of course the Ardi people hated us. Not only did they make us do hard work, but they also suffered beatings and scoldings at every turn...

Fortunately, it didn't take long for my wife and children to find me and persuade me to join the Knicks... In order not to suffer any more, and to prevent my wife and children from suffering, I finally followed my wife's advice and became a Knick. Preparatory nation...Looking back now, thanks to my wife, I did not miss the great opportunity to join the Nyx tribe and enjoy a better life than in Segestica!

What I want to tell you is that it is impossible for you to join the Knicks tribe to get your husband released. Unless you, like my wife, persuade your husband to join the Knicks, your family can be reunited. Do you understand? ! "

"But how do I know my husband is still alive?! If he is alive, how can I see him?" the woman asked anxiously.

"Yes! Yes! Only when I see my husband in person can I persuade him to join the Knicks!..." Some women also started shouting.

"You don't have to worry." Nicokus comforted loudly: "First of all, you must join the Nyx tribe, and then when you register with our officials as a reserve tribe, make your request and tell them your husband's name. , the tribe will look for your husband among the captives, and after finding it, they will arrange for you to meet, and then see if you can convince him. I certainly hope that your family will have a better life in the Nyx tribe!"

"Great!!" A group of women in the square cheered because they saw hope.

Seeing this scene, Staggs felt excited. He felt that he had taken a big step forward in completing the tasks he was responsible for in this tribe.

"Excuse me, please!" Another woman shouted eagerly: "My husband followed Andres to go to the Kupa River to fight with you last year. He was captured by you! He never came back. At first, I thought he was dead... Later, I asked the tribesmen who were released by you, and I found out that he was still alive, but he had become a slave of the Ardie people and was helping them dig iron ore. I heard that he... …He had a hard time!

I'm willing to join your Knicks, as long as you get my husband back from the Aldeans, and I'm willing to convince him to join the Knicks too! real! I can swear to the sacred stone - no, I can swear to the sacred grove - no, to the goddess Danu! …”

The woman was a little incoherent until the end, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Nikokus looked at Staggs in embarrassment.

Of course Staggs knew why he didn't answer, because the decree issued by Staff Officer Quintus after arriving at the First Army this morning only related to the Segostica prisoners in this war and did not talk about it. and last year’s.

After Staggs thought for a moment, he spoke loudly: "The order given to us by the tribe did not mention anything about the Segostika prisoners last year. It may be because they are no longer under the control of our tribe, but I will Convey your request to the leader as soon as possible. He should discuss your request with the chief officers of each department...that is, the elders. Once there is a result, I will tell you. "

"Thank you! Thank you so much! Please tell me as soon as possible! If you can save my husband, I am willing to take my whole family to join your Knicks!" The woman's voice was choked with tears.

People around her also gathered around, comforted her and offered their blessings to her.

The extremely depressing atmosphere in the entire square was greatly relieved.
