Rome must fall.

Chapter 331: Celis's Ability

Celisis's question caused the courtyard to fall into silence, and no one interrupted him anymore.

"The Alliance needs a long time to recover before it can start a war against the Knicks, but you all saw that the Knicks have already established a firm foothold on the land of the Sava River. As time goes on, their strength will only get stronger! The Alliance has suffered two crushing defeats. The next time, the stronger Knicks army will face the weaker Alliance reinforcements. It will be obvious who will win and who will lose. So what will you do?!" Celisis's last sentence made everyone feel a chill in their hearts.

"Look at me. I joined the Nix Tribe and became a reserve member of the Nix Tribe. I have been allocated 50 acres of land and have been farming at home these days. Because I performed well, I was specially transferred by the Nix Tribe to manage you. In the future, I may become an official of the Nix Tribe, just like the patriarch of our tribe!
Look at your fellow tribesmen who chose to join the Nix tribe. They were also allocated 50 acres of good land. Some even exchanged their dilapidated houses for better ones. These days they have been working hard to cultivate the land they have obtained.

There are also the Skodishchi people who were once our slaves and are now the reserve members of the Nix. They have moved into our village, received 50 acres of land, and are now equally busy!

Look at him again—" Celisis pointed at the young boy Nanix next to him and said loudly: "His parents were captured by the Nyx last year (in fact, Nanix's father had died in the war, and his mother remarried a Nyx veteran). Later, they joined the Nyx, and he could go to the Nyx school to study and learn those mysterious texts!
In just over a year, he can now live in a comfortable house, record you with words, manage you, and become a great figure like a priest! ... And what about you? ! "

Serisis shouted bitterly, "You have missed a great opportunity, and now you are trying to muddle through here. Do you really want to wait until a few years later, when those tribesmen who were once inferior to you have their homes filled with food, raise many cattle and sheep, ride their own horses, pass by you who are still being supervised by soldiers, and say to your child who can already write and count, 'Those people working on the ground look familiar, they should be his former Segestica people, but I didn't expect that they have completely changed after not seeing them for a few years.'"

Seris paused, then shouted in a more serious tone: "Even if you don't think about yourselves, you should think about your wives and children! Are you willing to be separated from your wives and children forever like this! If this goes on for a long time, there will be no hope in life. Your wives may remarry, and your children may become someone else's children. Think about it carefully!"

Celis's words were like the morning bell and evening drum, shocking everyone to the point of being dumbfounded.

The young boy Nanix had never expected that this man who had only asked questions and listened all the way would say such a shocking statement. While listening attentively, he could not help but worry about him, fearing that these foreign residents with painful expressions on their faces would do something out of anger.

Selisis looked at his compatriots with confidence. He knew very well that these people did not choose to flee with their families, but chose to stay and become foreign vassals because they had too many concerns and lacked courage to make decisive decisions. He had now completely shattered their luck, and they actually had no more choices.

"Selysis." The first person to break the silence was Selysis's former comrade Tenecas. He had a determined look on his face and pleaded through gritted teeth, "Since we once fought side by side, can you help me beg the Nix people and tell them that I... I don't want to be a foreign auxiliary citizen anymore. I want... I want to become their reserve citizen right away. Is that okay?!"

Celithis did not respond, but turned to look at the young boy Nanix.

Nanix calmed himself down and said coldly, "It's too late! Since the Nix Tribe decree has been issued, everyone must abide by it. I gave you three days to consider it, but you didn't choose to join. It's impossible to regret it now."

After these words were spoken, not only Tenecas, but everyone else also showed expressions of painful regret.

"But..." Nanix raised his voice: "The tribe has just decided that every three months, some foreign auxiliary people will be given quotas to become reserve tribe members. However, only foreign auxiliary people with outstanding performance will be able to successfully become reserve tribe members in advance."

In order to make the foreign auxiliaries more active in their work, the Political Affairs Hall discussed and issued this decree yesterday. Nanix specifically mentioned this to Selysis on the way here. He originally thought that Selysis would announce this decree to everyone at the beginning, so that everyone would reluctantly accept Selysis' leadership. He did not expect that after Selysis's operation, these foreign auxiliaries actually begged to join the Nix tribe, and finally this decree became a gift to them.

Seeing these originally frustrated tribesmen suddenly relaxed and full of hope, Celisis couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but his expression was still serious: "You all heard it clearly, only those who perform well and work hard can apply to become Nix's reserve tribesmen in three months, and then become formal tribesmen in the future, or even become Nix's nobles in the future, and live a life like me, or even better than me and the past!
So from now on, you just need to listen to my instructions and work hard, and I will report your performance to the Management Department truthfully, so that your efforts will not be in vain! "

Selisis glanced at everyone and shouted in a deep voice, "Everyone understands, right? Are you willing to follow me and work hard? Say something!"

"Willing...willing..." Everyone responded one after another.

"Okay!" Selisis responded generously, "We Segestica people have always kept our word, so it's settled! Starting from today, we have to plow the unused land outside within a month. If you have plowed more land than other teams at the end of the month, then three months later I will apply to the Administration Department to give you more places to become reserve tribesmen than other teams, so everyone has to work harder for your own sake!
Because I have to manage the people of 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. Tenecas, you will be the captain of this house!"

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

The reason why Selysis chose Tenecas was that after observing him for a while since he entered the hospital, he found that Tenecas had a high prestige among these people. In addition, the two had been comrades-in-arms for a period of time. Selysis was deeply impressed by his strong personality. "Why, are you afraid that you can't manage it well?" Selysis provoked.

"I have led a team of hundreds of people in the past, so it is easy for me to manage these twenty or thirty people. Okay, I will be the captain of this hospital." Tenecas agreed readily.

"I also need a deputy captain to assist Tenecas. What's your name?" Celisis asked, pointing at the young man who had spoken before.

"Kamabas."

"Kamabas, I think you are a good person. Are you willing to be the deputy captain and assist Tenekas in helping everyone?" Celisis asked seriously.

"Yes." The young man answered readily.

Selisis continued, "Time is very tight now. I still have to go to the two houses next door to gather other tribesmen to work together, so Tenekas and Kamabas, you two should take everyone outside and line them up. Then, Tenekas, you should quickly go to the house next door and help me persuade the tribesmen in the house."

"Row."

"Ok."

Seeing the two new captains and deputy captains of No. 53 Courtyard respond promptly, Celisis said no more and turned around to walk out.

Of course Nanix had to follow behind, but he couldn't help looking back, and found that everyone 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 team was relatively neat.

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

This ordinary-looking Segestica is actually a little different! ... Nanix thought silently as he looked at the figure of Selisis in front of him.

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

Because of the two major events of Achoupagos' funeral and Aristarchus' succession to the chief, the main village of Ardi and the banks of the Mreznica River were bustling for several days. After finally returning to peace, the noise soon arose again, and this time the source was the village of Budokaribas.

At this time, the village had changed a lot. 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.

As the new year approaches, the weather is getting colder, but the people in the village are not keeping warm in their houses. Instead, they are all gathered in front of the village. Both men and women are carrying heavy packages, and even children are carrying things in their hands. In the middle of the team, there are more than 20 carts loaded with various supplies...

Thousands of people lined up in a long queue. Although there was reluctance on everyone's face, there was more excitement and longing for a better life in the future.

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

"Chief, the people from the other tribes who have made appointments with us are ready," the rider on horseback said excitedly.
