Rome Must Fall

Selicis nodded and said: "There are more than 20,000 foreign auxiliary people. If you want to live in Xizhai, it will be really crowded."

"There are only more than 10,000 foreign auxiliary people here." Nanix corrected: "The others are on the other side of the Kupa River. After the wooden bridge was built, most of the leaders moved to the East Village, and the entire West Village became Xizhai is a place specially designed to accommodate foreign auxiliary residents. Not only can they accommodate them all, but there are also many vacant houses. When all the villages on the east coast are registered, thousands more foreign auxiliary residents can be accommodated here. . Originally, the Management Department planned to let these foreign auxiliary residents build camps outside Xizhai, but now they don’t need to.”

"Oh, so that's it." Selicis thought for a while and then asked: "How often can these foreign auxiliary people meet each other after their families are separated?"

"We usually meet once every three days." Nanix turned back and glanced at him: "According to Chief Ksenni, this time cannot be too long, and the foreign auxiliary citizens will complain. If it is too short, the staff and guards of the Management Department will We will be too tired, three days is just right.”

"That's right." Selicis agreed, and then asked: "There are so many foreign vassals. I'm afraid it will be difficult to provide them with food, right?"

Young Nanix has been busy in the Management Department these days. It is rare for an adult to listen to him carefully, which gives him the desire to fully express: "What's so difficult about this? There is a team under the Management Department responsible for food supply." As a team, they organized some women among the foreign auxiliaries to be responsible for cooking, and then asked other women to deliver the prepared food to various houses...

The Management Department will collect food from the Property Department every five days based on the number of foreign auxiliary people and daily food consumption. If you receive too much, it will be wasted and you will be criticized by the Property Department. If you receive too little, some foreign auxiliary people will eat it. We are not full, so we, the subordinates, need to sit there every day, recording and calculating! "

Nanix puffed up his chest proudly: "As for the wood used for cooking, the Management Department will ask the guards to take some foreign auxiliary people to collect wood in the nearby mountains every few days... so you don't have to worry about whether they will eat it or not. Yes, the tribe used similar methods to manage the reserve tribesmen on the Kupa River. The management department has a lot of experience..."

Nanix kept talking, Selicis listened attentively, and unknowingly arrived at House No. 53.

Nanix showed his waistband to the guard at the entrance of the courtyard and told the guard: From now on, Selicis will be responsible for managing the foreign auxiliary residents in courtyard No. 53.

The guard looked at Celysis, checked the badge in his hand, and then followed the young man's order to summon the foreign auxiliary people in the courtyard.

Soon there was a noise in the yard.

The guard came out and said: "The foreign auxiliary citizens have gathered."

Selicis raised his feet and was about to step into the courtyard, but Nanix held him back: "I have to remind you that these foreign vassals see you as a Segestika but working for the tribe. They may They will insult you and even beat you. Although there are guards to protect you, you must be careful!"

"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Selicis walked in confidently.

Thirty-three Segestika men gathered in the yard, about two-thirds of them were old people, and about one-third were young adults. They stood loosely, chatting as if no one was around.

After Selicis came in, many people didn't look at him at all and kept talking to themselves in low voices. But after some people glanced at him, their eyes suddenly widened: "Selysis, you came in too? !”

This shout immediately attracted the attention of other foreign auxiliary citizens.

"It's really Celysis!!"

"Is he famous? You all seem to know him." A young man asked. No wonder he was curious. The foreign vassals in this house came from various tribes in Segestika, but most of the old people knew this young man. The person who came in seemed quite excited, so he would inevitably be curious.

"Selesis is a famous warrior in our Segostika tribe. When we fought with the Skodisqi, he always took the lead in charging and killed many Skedisqi warriors. The boss and leader was Praise him for his bravery in front of all the warriors!”

"Yes, I remember that the boss also rewarded Selicis with a pair of captured armor from Chief Segestika."

"I think the number one warrior of our Segostika tribe is Chief Andres, and Selicis should be second!"

…

A group of old people talked excitedly, and some young adults listened in surprise...

A voice suddenly sounded: "Selesis is no longer our warrior of Segostika. He is a traitor. He betrayed the tribe and joined the Nyx!"

The person who spoke was the former ethnic group of Village No. 21, and his words were like thunder, making everyone a little unbelievable.

"Selysis, is everything he said true?!" A man with gray hair, an old face, and a relatively strong body asked.

"Tenecas." Selicis recognized the old man who spoke. When they were young, they were comrades in the same team. He said sternly: "He is right. I joined the Nyx tribe and now I am Preparatory people of the Nyx tribe!”

The crowd was in an uproar. Tenekas changed his expression and said angrily: "Selysis, I didn't expect you——"

Selicis roared loudly, suppressing all the noise: "Don't dream, you guys! Segestica is finished, and it is impossible to revive it! There will be no reinforcements from the Pannoni Alliance in a short time. , don’t hold out hope anymore—"

"Shut up, you traitor!"

"You are talking nonsense, there is no way our Segostika tribe will die!"

"You're lying. The Alliance's troops might already be gathering!"

…

Selicis' words were like throwing a stone into a cesspool, setting off a buzz against him.

He shouted again in a loud voice: "Stop lying to yourselves! Although you live in Xizhai, it is not that you have never gone out or contacted people from outside. You should be able to feel the changes outside.

Are there more and more Nix people living in the surrounding villages? ! Because these Nyx soldiers have stationed in all the villages, our tribesmen who stayed in these villages have joined Nyx, and the territory of Segestica has become part of Nyx, and Pannoni’s reinforcements have not You didn't come to stop the annexation of Knicks, so these Knicks soldiers can safely return to the villages that once belonged to you and start cultivating the land that once belonged to you!

You have also seen the completion of the bridge over the Sava River, and you should have learned from other people that the Temple of Goddess Danu was built in the mountains to the west and that all the villagers came to worship. Think about it carefully. If Nick The Sri Lankan people were resisted on our land, and the Pannonian coalition came to attack. Will they have the energy and manpower to build bridges and temples here? ! Are you still organizing a large number of people to worship? !

Of course that's impossible! Therefore, the Nix tribe successfully occupied all our lands and safely incorporated all our tribesmen. The resistance and rescue you imagined have never happened so far! "

"That's because the time is too short, and the alliance's reinforcements have not yet been formed!" The old man named Tenecas retorted loudly.

"Last year, Chief Andres asked for help from the Alliance. Within a month, he led the Alliance's reinforcements to the Kupa River. And now, it has been almost a month since the Knicks captured our main stronghold. The Alliance's There are no reinforcements at all, and Broch is the closest to us, but they didn’t even do such a simple thing as sending troops to pick up our tribesmen who fled to Lake Gonami—"

"How do you know there isn't one? Have you ever gone to Lake Gonami to see it?!" someone questioned unwillingly.

"There are Knick soldiers settled in our village. I have a good relationship with them and learned about it from their mouths. Think about it, if Broch will send a team north to the Lake Gonami area, the Knick soldiers will definitely gather in Gonam In the northern part of the lake, we are on guard against the Broch people, and how can we allow them to return to the villages?"

"The reason why the alliance's reinforcements have not come now is because they have just suffered a defeat. They will come after a while!" The person who loudly retorted was the tribesman from the same village in Selicis.

"You know that the Alliance forces were defeated before, but do you know how miserably they were defeated?! I asked a general of the Knicks army (referring to Starks) who lived in our village, and he told me...

Broch sent the most warriors and suffered the heaviest losses. Only the great leader Blix fled the battlefield with his escort; followed by Maziyi's army, they were surrounded and only had about one-third of their people. Escaped... The key point is that the battlefield took place on the banks of the Korana River. After the coalition forces were defeated, all their rations were seized by the Knicks army. It takes several days to travel from the Korana River to Broch's territory. I believe you should compare Clearly, can these fleeing compatriots escape smoothly without food? !

After this great battle, the Knicks captured nearly 10,000 Alliance soldiers and buried thousands of corpses of their compatriots. If you can go to the Kupa River, you can see that there is a foreign auxiliary like this there. It is a civilian-administered area, and most of the tens of thousands of foreign auxiliary citizens there are prisoners from the coalition forces! "

Selicis reminded loudly with an extremely serious expression: "The failure of this war is no less than the disastrous defeat that Andres led our soldiers to suffer in the Varidosi Swamp last year! Think about it, everyone. After that war, we no longer had the ability to launch a war against the Knicks, so Andres went to the Tribal Alliance for help. Now that the Tribal Alliance suffered a disastrous defeat, do they still have the ability to wage a war against the Knicks? Without the ability to continue fighting, who can we turn to for help? Furthermore, even if the big leaders have this idea, will the tribal leaders and clan leaders who have lost a large number of their tribes agree? ..."
