Rome must fall.

Chapter 313: Village Chief Pro
Chief Gityas has sent people to the main village of Segestica to explain the situation to the elders, because their village has been occupied by the Nixes, and since they cannot take it back, they need the tribe to redistribute land to them and resettle their families.

As a result, before the people sent out returned, Pricas arrived and learned the shocking news that "the Nixes invaded the territory and the main camp was lost". The Segestica people were at a loss.

Pricas, Ancasus, and his followers lived with these tribesmen, waiting for the tribal alliance to make a decision while beginning his own plans.

..............................................................................

Staggs led his troops away and never returned. Then, every day, a small group of Nix soldiers left, reportedly heading to another village to join the Staggs Centurion who had just arrived.

On the third day, only 10 soldiers led by Maiontias were left in the village.

During the two days when Staggs led his large army away, the village where hundreds of people were taken away not only did not seem more deserted, but instead became more lively.

Because those stubborn Segestica compatriots are no longer around, the village is now full of villagers who have joined the Nix tribe. They believe that they and the Nix soldiers are already one family, so their activities in the village have increased and their scope of activities has expanded. Some people even go to nearby villages to visit relatives, and as long as they don't leave with a lot of supplies, the Nix soldiers will not stop them.

Many people frequently visited Selisis and asked him: When will the Nix tribe distribute land to everyone? When can they see their captured relatives and persuade them? ...

Of course, Selysis didn't understand this, so he went to consult Maiontias who was stationed in the main house on their behalf.

Regarding the distribution of land, Maiontias’ answer was: It will be soon, in these few days.

Regarding the issue of "going to see relatives", Maiontias said: The tribe has agreed to this matter, but it will take some time to implement it, and asked the villagers to wait patiently for the news.

Overall it was good news and the tribesmen were excited.

On the morning of the fourth day, dozens of people came to the outside of the village, including an old man, a dozen fully armed Nix soldiers, and some simply dressed Scodischi slaves.

What is coming will eventually come! ...Selisis's eyes stayed on the Skodischi slaves, he took a deep breath, and followed Maiontias to meet them.

After listening to Maiontias' introduction, the leading old man smiled, looked at Selysis carefully, and said in fluent Illyrian: "Before I came here, the leader specifically mentioned you, saying that with your assistance, this is the village with the most Segestica people joining our Nix so far, and it has always been relatively stable without any conflicts or disputes.

Next, I hope to get more help from you, so that everyone in the village can accept their new life and live better than before!"

The leader of the Nix tribe also knows my name?! ... Selisis was very excited, thinking that his previous efforts were not in vain, but he did not lose his mind because of this. Instead, he responded seriously: "Pro... Village Chief, welcome here! As the temporary manager of this village, I will do my best to assist you! But you have to know... it is almost impossible for us Segestica people and Scodischi people to live in a friendly way like tribesmen in one village!"

"Yes, it is indeed difficult, but this is an order issued by the tribal government hall, and we must do our best to get it done. And precisely because it is difficult, being able to do it well can better demonstrate our abilities, right?" Pro responded gently.

"You're right." Selesis' heart moved.

"Next, I'll have to trouble you to inform everyone in the village to gather in the square. I need to meet everyone and have a good talk with them."

"No problem, I'll do it right away."

About half an hour later, all the people in the village came to the square outside the main house. Because of Celithis's prior warning, and because there were some new Scodischi recruits among Starks' hundred soldiers before, and the two sides had some contact, they did not take any extreme actions after seeing these Scodischi slaves in the square.

The Skodish slaves who came here had been warned many times beforehand, so they did not show any obvious hostility.

It was just that the two sides gathered together, separated from each other, and seemed to be clearly divided. "Uh... Hello everyone!" Old Pro, who was standing on the haystack, shouted, attracting the attention of the two sides who were on guard against each other.

"My name is Puro, and I was appointed by the tribe as the village chief of your village! Some people may ask, what is a village chief? According to the tribal law, it is the person who manages the village.

You must not confuse the village chief with the former leader of the village. According to my understanding, the village chief is to ensure the safety and stability of the entire village, provide assistance to you in the village, and make everyone live a better life!"

It must be said that in the past year, Pro had worked tirelessly to teach his people how to farm, which had greatly improved his eloquence, and he could even speak Illyrian fluently.

"You all noticed just now, right? From now on, this village will not only be inhabited by the Pannoni people, but also the Skodishchi people. You two tribes had hatred in the past, but that was in the past. Now you have all joined the Nix tribe, and from now on you are all Nix people!"

Proga emphasized his tone and said in a deep voice: "I believe you all know the twenty-noble system implemented by the tribe. Not to mention the promotion to nobility in the future, if you want to become a formal member of the tribe within three years, you must behave well and cannot violate tribal laws, provoke other members of the tribe, insult, fight, or cause conflicts... If you commit these measures, you will be punished by the tribe, which will extend the time it takes for you to become a formal member of the Knicks!

After a few years, you are still a reserve tribesman, while other people in your village have become official tribesmen, and some have been promoted to second-class, first-class tribesmen, or even knights through their outstanding performance, enjoying many more benefits than you. You will regret it then! So everyone should live in peace from now on. This is not for the tribe, nor for me, but for yourselves!"

After these words were spoken, the square became very quiet. Some people disagreed, while others seemed to be thinking about something.

“When I entered the village just now, I saw a lot of wooden poles stuck in the fields outside the village. Thank you for assisting the Ministry of Agriculture in completing the field survey and maintaining the markings on the fields after they left!”

Pro sincerely praised the whole village, but in fact it was Celis who played an important role in this. He kept Staggs's advice in mind, and whenever he had free time in the past two days, he took people around the village to ensure that the wooden poles stuck in the fields were still there.

"I have good news for you!" Puro's voice rose an octave: "Tomorrow the tribe will send someone to officially distribute the land to you all!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the originally quiet square suddenly became lively. One of the main reasons why these people were willing to join the Knyx tribe was because of the land. And the Knyx people were going to fulfill their previous promise so quickly, how could they not be happy!

At this moment, both the Segestica people and the Scodischi people were cheering excitedly.

Pro waited until the cheers of the people died down before he spoke loudly again: "In the afternoon, I will notify everyone to gather at the fields at the east end of the village. Let's discuss together how to make the fields we have been allocated more fertile, so that the wheat we planted can grow better and yield more!"

After the square meeting ended, under the leadership of Celisses, Pro began to distribute houses to the group of people who came with him.

The tribe where Selisse belongs to is relatively large in the area west of the Sava River, with a population of nearly 1500 households at its peak. Later, Andres launched a war against the Ardi people, and some young members of the tribe responded to the call and brought their families to join the newly opened tribe on the Kupa River. Later, members of the tribe were conscripted several times to participate in wars with the Nix people, and were either captured or killed. Not many were able to escape back. In addition to the members who escaped in the previous few days and those who refused to join the Nix tribe as foreign auxiliaries and were forced to move to the main village, there were more than 300 empty houses in this village, allowing Pro to choose and allocate them calmly.

Instead of concentrating the dozens of Scodischi people in one area, he dispersed them so that their houses were intertwined with those of the Segestica people.

The most ordinary houses were allocated to the Skodishchi slaves who had just become reserve members of the Knicks, while the houses allocated to the Knicks' new recruits were better, at least they had a yard.

Most of these new recruits were Scottischi who joined the Nix tribe last year. Only two were Segestica people, and one of them was Nicokus, who had come to this village before and was responsible for persuading the people to join the Nix tribe.

In fact, there was nothing surprising about this, because among the people who came to settle in this village were many soldiers from the Staggs Centurion, both new and old, including the centurion Casalidoa, who was well known to Celisis.

From Casalidoa, Selysis learned that this time Staggs led his team to a village not far from the well, but tomorrow his centurions will enter the southeast tribe to continue the same mission. However, Staggs himself has not received any order from the government hall as to which village he will settle in.
