Rome Must Fall

"Hey, Selicis, you're not so happy that you're stupid!" Puro joked when he saw him frozen in place.

Selicis came back to his senses, quickly bowed his head to Puro, and said gratefully: "Village Chief, thank you for your help!"

He felt that he was just an ordinary member of the hundreds or thousands of Segestika surrenders. Without Pro's recommendation, how could the god leader of Nyx know about him.

"This has nothing to do with me. The main thing is that you behave well. Those officials from various departments who come to the village every now and then to inspect will naturally record your name on the paper and let the chief officer above notice it.

Go to the main house quickly, don't keep the guards waiting! Don't worry about your land, I will arrange for others to help your wife get the land ready. After going to Ofidilia, as long as you do good things for the tribe, you will definitely be reused! "Pulo reassured him and encouraged him.

"I remember, thank you village chief!" Selicis hid his gratitude to Puro in his heart and walked quickly towards the village.

Soon, the news that "Selysis was favored by the leader of Nix and promoted to the main village as a tribal official" spread to all the villagers. Everyone was envious and became more energetic to work.

Selicis followed the guards to the gate of Ophidilia's west fortress, and this time entered the fortress unimpeded.

Selicis has been to Xizhai many times in the past ten years, but this time it is different from the past - the village is too chaotic: people pour out of the houses from time to time, arranging under the command of the Nix soldiers. Teams of hundreds of people formed, blocking the entire lane, and then walked noisily outside the village...

In any alleyway, Selicis would have to work hard to push through the crowd and pass through.

Selicis spent time with the Nyx people during this period and felt that they did things in an orderly manner and managed the village in an orderly manner, which was completely different from the behavior of the leaders and patriarchs of the Segostika tribe. However, the messy situation in the village now is what happened?

Selicis asked the guard, but the guard didn't know. He was only responsible for conveying orders and leading people.

Not long after, they arrived at a large mansion near the main house of Xizhai. People were constantly coming in and out of the courtyard door.

"What is this place?" Selicis asked.

"Foreign Auxiliary Citizens Management Department." The guard simply replied and walked inside impatiently.

This is where I will work next... Selicis looked around subconsciously. He vaguely remembered that this house seemed to be the residence of a tribal leader whom Andres trusted. His wandering eyes finally landed on On a wooden sign hanging above the courtyard gate, there are those magical words engraved on the wooden sign...

"What are you doing standing still? Why don't you catch up quickly!" the guard urged.

Selicis saw that the guard was far away from him, so he quickly stepped through the courtyard gate to catch up.

Everyone he met on the road was in a hurry, no one stopped, and no one looked at him curiously as a new stranger.

The guards took him to a larger wooden house.

The door of the wooden house was wide open, and as soon as someone came out of the wooden house, the guard walked in.

In addition to wooden shelves, there are tables in the room. The wooden shelves are pressed against the wall, with volumes of paper placed on them. The wooden tables are lined up side by side, from one end of the wall to the other. There is a person sitting behind each table. They are all holding pens and writing something. Two of them are children...

Selicis was still looking around, but the guard had already arrived at the wooden table in the center, saluted and said, "I have been ordered to bring Selicis from Village No. 21!"

There was a middle-aged man sitting behind the wooden table. He took a previously signed transfer order handed over by Selicis, carefully looked at Prona's ghost-like signature, and then looked at Selicis with a serious look. Asked: "Are you Celysis?"

"I am!" Selicis nodded vigorously.

The middle-aged man said to the guard, "Thank you for your hard work!" After thanking him, he handed the guard a receipt saying "Mission Completed."

The guard took the receipt and turned to leave.

The middle-aged man said to Selicis: "I am Keseni, the chief officer of the Foreign Auxiliary Management Department of the Nyx tribe. The Foreign Auxiliary Management Department is a newly established department of the tribe, jointly organized by the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of War. Jurisdiction, it is responsible for managing all foreign auxiliary people in the tribe. So far, the number of foreign auxiliary people has exceeded 20,000—"

The middle-aged man sighed: "We have too few staff here, but there are too many foreign residents to manage, and there are many things to do. It is really too much to manage, so we have to ask the leader for more subordinates.

After discussions between the leader and the chief officers of each department, they felt that the foreign auxiliary people were all Pannoni, and it would be more convenient for the Pannoni to manage them, so they selected the best-performing Segostika preparations from each village. The people come to us to help us with things. There are dozens of people recruited here, and you are just one of them. "

The middle-aged man named Keseni's expression became serious: "We don't need so many people here, so we need to inspect you first. After a month, the ten most capable and best-performing people will be retained. Where did the other people come from and where are they going? The inspection has already started from the moment the Zhengshi Hall issued the order to transfer you, and you are the latest among this group of people! "

Selicis wanted to defend, but Xenni said loudly: "I don't want to hear your explanation. If you want to stay here and become an official of the Nyx tribe, you need to prove it with your actions in the next month." Have the ability to stay here!

The foreign auxiliary people have been in the West Village for more than half a month. They must start working to be worthy of the food and supplies provided by the tribe every day. There is still a month to the new year. There are still a lot of fields in the tribe that have not been plowed. Your task is to lead 100 foreign auxiliary people to plow these lands. If the team you lead plows a lot of land within this month, and the land is plowed well, you will become a member of our Foreign Auxiliary People Management Department! Do you understand? ! "

"I understand." Selisis nodded.

Kseni picked up a palm-sized wooden sign from the wooden rack behind him and handed it to Selisis: "This is the waist sign of the Foreign Auxiliary People Management Department. You can tie it around your waist. You will not be blocked from entering and leaving the village gate, our place, and the houses where foreign auxiliary people live. You will not be checked by the patrol team when you wander around the village. "

Selisis hurriedly took the waist card and took a closer look. Although it was just an oval piece of wood that was planed very smoothly, it was engraved with those magical words.

Selisis gently stroked the wooden card with his fingers, and heard Kseni shout: "Nanix!"

"Here!" A young man next to him responded.

"Which houses are we going to next?"

"No. 53, he has 33 people." The young man replied while looking through the list on the table: "No. 54 has 32 people, No. 55 has 40 people, and there are 105 people in total."

"Okay, this month you will be Selisis--"

"Selisis."

"This month, you, Selisis, will lead all the foreign auxiliary people in No. 53, 54, and 55 to plow the land. "As soon as Kseni finished speaking, the person sitting at another wooden table began to take notes.

"Nannix, you take Seris to these three courtyards now, gather all the foreign auxiliary people in the courtyard, and then ask the people from the Ministry of Labor to take them to the land to be cultivated, so that they can get familiar with it first."

"Yes."

Kseni looked at Seris again: "As long as you think it can be done, you can let those foreign auxiliary people start cultivating the land today, and ask the people from the Ministry of Agriculture for farm tools. At dusk, take them back to the house, and then you come back here, and I will arrange food and accommodation for you."

"Come with me." Nanix got up and led Seris out of the room.

Seeing that there was no one around, Seris whispered: "Nannix, are you from Segestica?"

The boy hesitated for a moment, and replied reluctantly: "...I used to be, but now I am a Nix! "

Selisis did not give up and continued to ask: "I have seen a child named Firris in my tribe who came to register with us. He is also from Segestica-"

"He is my good friend. We studied together, but he did not learn as well as me." Nanix interrupted. Although his tone was still a little cold, it was obvious that Selisis' words had some effect. He then reminded: "Don't worry, these foreign auxiliary people are relatively well-behaved. Most of them will not run away or make trouble, but they just don't want to work.

In the past, in order to make them obey orders, the Management Department used the method of increasing or decreasing food and whether they could meet with their families to make them submit. If you can make them work more actively, then you may win over others. "

When Selisis was in the village, most of the tribesmen consulted him for advice, so he understood the reasons why those foreign auxiliaries were quiet, not noisy, but unwilling to work as Nanix said: they were unwilling to leave their homeland, and they were also worried that wandering in other places would make it difficult for their families to survive, but they were unwilling to surrender to the Nix, because they still had some persistence in their hearts, and at the same time they were lucky, hoping that the Pannonian coalition would be able to defeat the Nix people, regain lost territory, and allow them to return home... In general, this is a group of people who live very twisted.

It's just that Selisis was a little confused: "Don't these foreign auxiliaries live with their families?"

"How could they live together! If they lived as a family, there wouldn't be so many houses here. Of course, men and women are separated, and the younger children are with their mothers, and the older children are taken care of by the members and teachers of the Ministry of Rites..." Nanix said, thinking of his life over the past year, and was a little absent-minded.
