Rome Must Fall

"Chief, will Budokaribas and the others agree to accept these residential areas allocated by us?" Volenus asked quietly from the side.

Maximus smiled slightly: "They can only accept it because they have no other choice. In fact, I think they are the only leaders who care more. The people of Ardei will not think so much and will only think about moving in there quickly." Several villages, hurry up and cultivate those fertile lands."

Maximus' words soon came true.

Budokaribas and several other Ardei tribe leaders finally made the decision: to accept the residences provided by the Nix tribe, and the villages to which each tribe went were assigned to each other. The settlement the tribe was heading to was exactly the one Maximus had recommended before.

In fact, Budokaribas initially intended for his tribe to live on the east coast, closer to several other Ardei tribes.

But when Maximus pointed at the map and introduced the place of residence, some Ardiyi people who were following Budokaribas listened. When he was discussing with other tribal leaders, many tribesmen gathered around and expressed strong opposition to his choice of other places to live. They thought: Chief Maximus gave us such a good place, but you don't want it, and you are worthy of us. The leader?

Budokaribas could only surrender.

Maximus was originally planning to entertain Budokaribas and several other Ardei leaders.

Budokaribas refused. He wanted to take the people to the place of residence as soon as possible and make arrangements for everyone before he felt relieved.

Maximus understood this and sent commerce ministers as guides to lead them to their respective places of residence and help them solve the difficulties they encountered when settling.

At night, after several clouds and rain, Maximus finally collapsed on Nesia.

Nesia gently stroked her husband's thick back, and the two of them pressed together tightly, feeling the tenderness after passion in the silence.

I don’t know how long it took, but Maximus turned over and fell to the side, put his arm around his wife’s shoulders, and said softly: “Nesia, thank you for your hard work! The Kupa River side can remain stable during this period, what do you do? A lot of effort!”

"I just sit in the room every day, listen to people from various departments come and talk about things, and then just nod. What's the hard work? You, on the other hand, have become tired and thin during this time!"

Nesia was close to Maximus, caressing his cheek with her hand, and said softly: "I punished Gnian Davra before, you won't blame me, right?"

"You are my first lady, and it is your right to manage my housework. You have performed your duties well according to the regulations. You have done a good job. Why should I blame you?"

Maximus kissed her cheek and said softly: "Now that we have moved to Ofidilia, the main house is larger. There will be more people here in the future. You have to be as strict as before to keep the Take good care of your family.”

"Since you have said so, chief..." Nesia's eyes were sly: "Genian Davra violated the rules during the day and acted contrary to her identity in front of the people. Should I still punish her?"

"Of course you should. This is your right." Maximus replied without hesitation, but then the conversation changed: "But don't punish us too severely. You have to know that after we occupy this land, we will have to deal with it next The Pannoni Tribal Alliance counterattacks. If we want to use the Kupa River as our stable rear, it is crucial to maintain the alliance with Ardei!

But now I have received news that Alistakas and some Ardiyi elders are somewhat dissatisfied with our Nix because Budokaribas and their tribes moved to us, so they are the most influential Ardiyi tribe. Elder of strength, Cleobrotus’s attitude towards us is crucial..."

Before Maximus finished speaking, the smart Nesia already understood what he meant. She stretched out her fingers to gently draw circles on Maximus's chest, and said softly: "I can have sex with Gniandafla." We have a good relationship and let her treat this place as her home, but you have to promise me one thing, chief."

"What's up?"

"Come with me again."

"Now?"

"Chief, are you tired?" In the candlelight, Nesia raised her upper body, her eyes were moving, and her sweat-covered skin shone with light, full of temptation.

Without saying a word, Maximus turned over and pressed Nesia under him, proving it with his actions.

On the second night, in Flores Lucia's bedroom, Maximus was different.

He first gently pressed close to Flores Lucia's abdomen and whispered to the fetus in her belly. Then he lay next to her, held her hand, and chatted with her about the experience of the past month without saying a word.

Flores Lucia didn't like to talk much, and while they were chatting, Maximus was left to perform a one-man show.

When he began to feel bored, he reached out his hand and caressed his wife.

Due to her pregnancy, Flores Lucia's body became plumper than before, which gradually gave Maximus an impulse, but he tried his best to suppress it for the sake of the child.

Flores Lucia felt it and said softly: "Chief, how about... you go find your sister..."

Maximus responded: "I'm fine. I'm not going anywhere tonight. I'll just stay here with you."

Flores Lucia hesitated for a moment: "Either...or...or I use my hands..."

Maximus was stunned. His shy wife had never been so proactive in the past. He slightly raised his head, wanting to see Flores Lucia's expression. However, his wife buried her head in his chest and could only feel the other side. The burning of the skin.

He rolled his eyes and became anxious: "It's a little uncomfortable to use your hands, so it's best to use them... Forget it, let's lie down and talk."

Flores Lucia was silent for a moment, then suddenly sat up and slowly leaned down...

……………………………………………………………………………………

On the third night, in Genian Davula's bedroom, she lay on Maximus's body like a koala, her body twisting...

It’s just that Maximus has now entered the Sage Time. In order to divert attention, he asked: "I heard that Nesia talked about you yesterday?"

"……Um."

"Why?"

"...She said that as your wife and the daughter of the noble Ardei leader, I should behave steadily and elegantly in front of the people. Only in this way can I maintain my majesty and prevent others from looking down on me..."

"It's not like I'm criticizing you, I'm just thinking about you..."

Gniandafla didn't reply.

"I heard that Nesia asked your entourage to come back to take care of you. It seems that she treats you well."

Gniandafla couldn't help but speak: "But that day she had someone beat me with a stick. It hurt me so much that I still have scars on my butt!"

"Where is it? Let me see." Maximus said casually.

Gniandafla really turned over on the bed and pulled down her pants, but Maximus was dazzled by a ray of snow.

To be honest, Gnian Davra's living conditions are superior, and her skin is smooth, delicate, plump and firm, which is much better than Nesia and Flores Lucia.

Maximus couldn't help but press his hand up: "Is the scar here?"

"It's not there, it's up there...no, no, no, move a little to the right...a little to the left...it's not there, don't...don't touch there..."

Soon, the wooden bed in the bedroom shook again.

In the past few days, except for the various workshops under the responsibility of the Ministry of Works that need to be located along the Sava River and built before they can be moved, the migration of the Nyx people to Ofidilia, the new center of the tribe, has been basically completed. .

Then, Maximus held a grand tribal commendation meeting in the square of Ofidilia East Village. Because he allowed the chief administrators (village chiefs) of each town and village to lead the people under their jurisdiction who performed well, Ten people attended the meeting, causing the entire square to be crowded that day.

With the attention of the majority of the people, Maximus commended the people who were promoted to knights for their merits in this war. They include:

The chief officers of the nine major departments were promoted for their meritorious service because they planned and prepared the entire war and made every effort to ensure the smooth progress of the war. The occupation and annexation of the territory of Segestica relied on their painstaking cooperation during this period. .

Legion commanders, captains, some team officers and legionnaires, these are actually promoted based on their military merits, including the crossbow corps.

Minjunus, Spukala, and some doctors and craftsmen. They were promoted because they contributed to the war with their professional skills. For example, they helped many moderately and seriously injured people recover from danger through medical treatment, and rescued prisoners, which reduced the hostility of the prisoners towards the tribe and accelerated their return. Another example is that the ironworks workshop worked day and night to manufacture crossbows, crossbow arrows and other weapons, ensuring victory in the war. Another example is the rapid construction of the Ofidilia Wooden Bridge and the Temple of Danu, which stabilized the new territory and accelerated the capture of captives. Homecoming.

…

A total of nearly a thousand people were promoted to knighthood, all of them were ethnic people who followed Maximus during the rebel period, and one of the main reasons why most of them were able to become knights in this meritorious promotion was that they married former rebels. Women in the army are wives, so they are promoted half a level more than others, saving some military merit.

Although they were all promoted to knighthood, their circumstances were different.
