Rome Must Fall

Selicis’ questions caused the courtyard to fall into silence, and no one took the initiative to interrupt him.

"It will take a long time for the alliance to recover before it can start a war against the Knicks, but you have all seen that the Knicks have now established a foothold on the land of the Sava River. As time goes by, their strength It will only become stronger! The alliance has been defeated twice. The next time the stronger Knicks army faces the weaker alliance reinforcements, it is obvious who will win. So what will you do in the end? One sentence made everyone's hearts tremble.

"Look at me. I joined the Knicks tribe and became a reserve tribesman of the Knicks. I have been assigned 50 acres of land and have been farming at home these days. Because I behaved well, I was specially transferred by the Knicks tribe to manage you. , I may also become an official of the Knicks tribe in the future, just like the patriarch of our tribe!

Look at your tribe members who chose to join the Knicks tribe. They were all allocated 50 acres of good land. Some even got better housing because their houses were dilapidated. They are working hard these days to cultivate what they have earned. soil of.

There are also those Skodisqi people who were once our slaves and are now members of the Knicks Preparatory Nation. They have lived in our village and been allocated 50 acres of land. They are also busy now!

Look at him again -" Selicis pointed at the young boy Nanix next to him and said loudly: "His parents were captured by the Knicks last year (in fact, Nanix's father had died in the war, and his mother remarried. (a Knicks veteran), and later joined the Knicks, so he could go to the Knicks school to study and learn those mysterious words!

In just over a year, he can now live in a comfortable house, record you with words, manage you, and become as great a person as a priest! ...and what about you? ! "

Selicis shouted sadly: "You have missed a great opportunity, and now you are living here in vain. You really want to wait until a few years later when those tribesmen who were not as good as you have their houses filled with food and many cattle." Sheep, riding his own horse, passed by you who were still working under the supervision of the soldiers, and said to the child who was already good at writing and counting, "The people working on the ground look familiar, they should be the stuff he used to do." A member of the Gostika tribe, but I didn’t expect that after not seeing him for a few years, his appearance has completely changed.’”

Selicis paused for a moment and shouted in an emphasised tone: "Even if you don't think about yourself, you still have to think about your wives and children! Are you willing to be separated from your wives and children like this forever! If this continues for a long time , life is hopeless, your wife may remarry, and your children may become other people’s children, think about it!”

Selicis's words were like bells in the morning and drums in the evening, which shocked everyone.

Young Nanix didn't expect that this man who only asked questions and listened along the way would say such shocking words. While he was listening in rapt attention, he couldn't help but worry about him, fearing that these foreigners with painful expressions on their faces would The subordinates will do things that make them angry.

Selicis looked at the compatriots in front of him confidently. He knew very well that these tribesmen did not choose to escape with their families, but chose to stay and become foreign vassals. It was because they had too many worries and lacked courage to make decisive decisions. Come. He has now completely shattered their luck, and they actually have no more choices.

"Selysis." The first person to break the silence and speak was Tenekas, Selysis's former comrade-in-arms. His expression was determined and he gritted his teeth and begged: "For the sake of the fact that we have fought side by side, can you help me?" I beg the Knicks, just say that I...I don’t want to be a foreign vassal anymore, I want...to become their reserve citizen immediately, is that okay?"

Selicis did not respond, but turned to look at young Nanix.

Nanix calmed down and said coldly: "It's too late! Now that the Knicks tribe's decree has been promulgated, everyone must abide by it. I gave you three days to consider it, but you didn't choose to join. Now It’s simply impossible to regret it.”

As soon as these words came out, not only Tenekas, but also everyone else showed painful regret.

"But -" Nanix raised his voice: "The tribe has just made a decision. From now on, it will give foreign auxiliary people some quotas to become reserve tribesmen every three months. However, only foreign auxiliary people who perform well can smoothly transfer in advance. To prepare the nation.”

In order to allow foreign auxiliary citizens to work more actively, the political hall issued this decree yesterday after discussions. Nanix mentioned this matter to Selicis on the way over. He originally thought that Selicis would announce this decree to everyone at the beginning, so that everyone would reluctantly accept Selicis's leadership. But he didn't expect that after Selicis's operation, these foreign auxiliary people would beg to join the Nyx tribe. In the end, this decree would become a gift to them.

Selicis looked at the upset and frustrated tribesmen in front of him who suddenly became brighter and full of hope. He couldn't help sighing in his heart, but his expression remained serious: "You all heard it clearly, you can only perform well and work hard." Those who are diligent may apply to become a Knicks reserve citizen in three months, and then become a formal citizen in the future, or even become a Knicks noble in the future, and live a life like me, or even better than me, and better than in the past. !

So from now on, you just need to follow my instructions and work hard and seriously, and I will truthfully report your performance to the Management Department so that your efforts will not be in vain! "

Selicis glanced at everyone and shouted in a deep voice: "Everyone understand, please tell me if you are willing to follow me and work hard!"

"I wish... I wish..." Everyone responded one after another.

"Okay!" Selicis responded enthusiastically: "We Segestica people always keep our word, that's it! Starting today, within a month we will plow the vacant land outside. If you plow more land at the end of the month than other teams, then three months later I will apply to the Management Department to grant you more places to become reserve ethnic groups than other teams, so everyone has to work harder for your own sake!

Because I have to take care of the people in three houses, sometimes I may not be able to take care of you, so I have to assign a captain to your house to help me supervise you. If you have any difficulties, you can go to him first, Tencas. , you come to be the captain of this hospital! "

"Ah! Me?" Tenekas, who was standing in front of the crowd, was a little surprised.

The reason why Selicis chose Tenecas was because after observing him during the period after he entered the hospital, he found that Tenecas had a high prestige among these people, and the two had been comrades-in-arms for a period of time. , this person's strong personality impressed Celisis deeply.

"Why, are you afraid that you can't manage it well?" General Celysis said excitedly.

"Back then, I led a team of several hundred people, and it was not easy to manage these twenty or thirty people. Okay, I will be the captain of this courtyard." Tenekas readily agreed.

"I also need a vice-captain to assist Tenekas. What's your name?" Selicis pointed at the young man who spoke before and asked.

"Kamabas."

"Kamabas, I think you are pretty good. Are you willing to be the vice-captain and assist Tenekas in helping everyone?" Selicis asked seriously.

"Yes." The young man replied readily.

Selicis continued: "Time is very tight now. I have to go to the two nearby houses to gather other tribesmen to work together, so you two, Tenekas and Kamabas, take everyone there first." Go outside and line up. Then, Tenekas, hurry to the nearby house and help me convince the people in the yard."

"OK."

"OK."

Seeing the two newly appointed captains and deputy captains of No. 53 Court responding readily, Selicis said nothing more, turned around and walked out.

Of course Nanix had to follow behind him, but he couldn't help but look back and found that the people in the yard took the initiative to walk out of the yard. Under the command of the two captains, they quickly lined up, and the queue was relatively neat. .

Today, Nanix has led several people transferred to the Management Department. This is the first time he has seen foreign auxiliary people be so active and obedient.

There is something really different about this seemingly ordinary Segestika man! ...Nanix looked at the figure of Celysis in front of him and thought silently.

Because of the two major events that occurred one after another, the funeral of Akupagos and the succession of Aristakas as the great leader, the main village of Ardiyi and the banks of the Mrezhnica River were bustling for several days, and it was difficult to recover. After losing the tranquility, the noise soon started again, and this time the source was the village of Budokaribas.

At this time, the village had changed greatly. The wooden walls on the east and west sides had been demolished. The houses in the village were still there, but most of the doors had been removed.

The new year is approaching, and the weather is getting colder. However, the people in the village did not stay warm in their houses. Instead, they gathered in front of the village. Both men and women were carrying heavy packages, and even the children were carrying bags in their hands. Carrying things, there were more than 20 pack cars in the middle of the team, full of various supplies...

Thousands of people lined up in a long queue. Although everyone's face showed reluctance, they were more excited and longed for a better life in the future.

A fast horse passed through the almost abandoned stockade and rushed to the front of the team.

"Chief, the people of the other tribes we have made appointments with are ready," the rider on the horse said excitedly.
