Rome must fall.

Chapter 339: Land Given to Aldei

Follis Lyusia responded softly: "I'm not tired, my sister takes good care of me."

Maximus excitedly reached out his hand to her slightly bulging belly.

"The doctor said the baby is still young and can't move yet, but he's healthy," said Forsytheia softly.

Maximus nodded and withdrew his hand, the excitement on his face quickly disappearing.

At this time, Akonis leaned forward from behind and said, "Chief, I haven't seen you for more than a month. You have lost some weight."

Maximus touched his face: "Really?"

"Yes." Akonis said with concern: "It seems that you have been too busy recently and have not eaten or slept well. But now that we are here, you don't have to worry, we will take good care of you!"

Maximus laughed and said, "The new main house we live in is bigger than the previous one, and it's waiting for you, the chief steward, to take good care of it! I haven't eaten the food you cooked for a long time. Make a sumptuous dinner tonight and we can celebrate together."

"Yes, chief, leave this matter to me. I will definitely make you satisfied!" Akonis said confidently.

Maximus looked at Nesia again and said, "You must be tired after walking for three days. Go back to the main house and have a good rest. I will come back to have a good reunion with you in the evening."

"Chief, go do your work without worry, we will take care of ourselves." Nessia responded considerately, then looked around: "Folles Lyusia, Gnian Davra, let's go to the main house first."

"Okay, sister." Fleslyusia responded immediately.

Under Maximus's smiling gaze, Gniandafla reluctantly responded.

Led by their servants, Maximus' three wives, Aconis and their men entered the village first.

Then, Maximus warmly welcomed the families of the Knicks officials and the families of the tribesmen who arrived one after another...

After the Knicks' migration team entered the village, his voice became hoarse and his waist and legs were sore, but now was not the time to rest because the Aldei's migration team would soon arrive.

Maximus strode forward and said, "Haha, Elder Budokaribas, welcome, welcome. You have made us wait so long!"

Budokaribas apologized, "We were anxious to come earlier, but you know that the chief's funeral and Aristakas' succession are both important events in our tribe, and we all have to attend, so we were delayed for quite a while. I'm really sorry to have kept you waiting for so long!"

"Anyway, it's good to be here! Did everything go smoothly along the way?"

"It went smoothly, very smoothly! Thank you for your careful arrangements and care!" Budokaribas was full of gratitude, and then he said with great emotion: "This time I came here, I found that there have been great changes here! When I came here a month ago, I still needed military escort. Those Segestica people hid in various tribes and looked at us with hatred...

This time, I saw many Segestica and Skodishchi people along the way. They had neither hatred nor fear, but were focused on working in the fields. Some even helped each other... You Nix people are amazing. In just over a month, you have made the two tribes, who were once enemies, become friendly with each other!"

Maximus said frankly: "It can't be called friendly, we can only say that we can barely get along. There are still many problems, but as long as everyone has the desire to pursue a better life, I believe that the people here will get along more and more friendly!"

"You're right. We all want to pursue a better life. That's why we chose to come here." Budokaribas said, "We are relieved to see that the order here is so stable. But where will we live?"

"We have made all the arrangements, just waiting for your question." Maximus waved back: "Bring the map here."

Immediately, two servants brought the prepared wooden map to Maximus.

"Elder Budokaribas, look." Maximus pointed at the map and said, "This is the Sava River. This is our Knicks' new main stronghold - Ophidilla. This area is the territory that our Knicks have completely controlled. We have arranged for you to live here, here and here, including a total of four former Segestica villages. We have relocated all the people in the villages, and you can move in directly... According to the news you asked the messenger to convey to me before, you have nine tribes this time, with a total of more than 8,300 people.

Except for your tribe, which has a relatively large population, the population of other tribes does not exceed a thousand people, and the population of the villages left for you to live in used to be around two thousand people, so it is recommended that you have two or three tribes living in one village...

Also, this village is the largest, the land is the most fertile, there is a lake next to it, and your tribe has a population of more than 2000, so it is best to choose this village as the residence of your tribe."

The map shown by Maximus was detailed and intuitive, but at the moment Budokaribas did not have time to appreciate it slowly. He stared at the black dots on the map circled with red symbols, representing the villages, and his brain was working at a very fast speed.

In fact, after the messenger returned to the tribe, he told them some information about the residential area that the Nix tribe was going to allocate to them. However, at that time the Nix people had not yet completely controlled this territory, so it was just an intention and had not been completely confirmed.

The settlements marked on the map now differed from before: the four villages were not connected, but separated. Three villages were located on the east side of the Sava River and south of the East Village of Ophidillia. The village that Maximus mentioned as suitable for his tribe to live in was located on the west bank of the Sava River and south of the West Village of Ophidillia. There was indeed a lake pattern next to it, and it was close to the river bank. With the lake and the river by its side, the location was indeed good. Moreover, on the map, these four villages were surrounded by other villages, so there was no problem with safety, but...

Budokaribas frowned, hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but said: "Captain Maximus, the place you assigned to us is a little different from what you told us last time! Why don't you let our tribes live together? I'm afraid that the tribesmen will feel uneasy if we live separately like this!"

Quintus on the side took over the conversation and answered: "We actually want to do this, because it is convenient for you to manage the people, and it is also convenient for us to manage the people, but the problem is that it is difficult for us to relocate the residents of several villages next to each other, such as this one--"

Quintus pointed to a village next to a settlement on the map and said, "More than half of the Segestica people in this village have voluntarily joined us, Nix, and become our people. Some of the elders refused to move no matter how we persuaded them, saying, 'Even if he dies, his bones must be buried under his family's land'...

We spent a lot of effort to appease these Segestica people who were willing to join us. Of course, we can't use tough means to force them to move. That will only lead to their dissatisfaction and anger, which is not conducive to the stability of this area, right? So we can only count the residents of a village that can be relocated as one. It took a lot of effort to get so many..."

After hearing these words, Budokaribas could not find any reason to refute and fell silent.

Maximus said, "Elder Budokaribas, if you are not satisfied with our arrangement and want all your tribesmen to live together, there is another way."

"What method?" asked Budokaribas hurriedly.

"There are still two places in Segestica's territory that have not been occupied by us, the northern part and the Gonam Lake area in the south." Maximus pointed to the map and said, "The Gonam Lake area is close to Brochi, and we have no plans to move it for the time being.

Although the Segestica tribes in the north still have some strength, I heard that the Yapods who have a grudge against Segestica have recently started to frequently rub shoulders with the Segestica people in the north. Once they get the news that the core territory of the Segestica people has been occupied by us, Nix, they will definitely go to war with the Segestica people here again. At that time, we will send troops to occupy this area according to the situation, and then allocate a part of the land for you to live in..."

When Budokaribas heard this, he shook his head in his heart: This is just the plan of the Nixes. It depends on when the Yapods will send troops. This cannot be achieved in a short time. I have already brought the tribe here. Do I have to take it back and wait? At that time, how will those people in the Mrežnica River look at me!

Quintus observed the other party's expression and added, "Actually, you don't have to worry. We will build roads on this land to connect the villages. We will also build a few more wooden bridges on the Sava River. Even if your tribes are not adjacent to each other, it may be more convenient for you to travel with each other than when you lived in the mountains."

Budokaribas was silent for a moment, then asked, "Where is the place you arranged for the people of Cicelytes to live?"

Quintus reached out and tapped the map three times.

Budokaribas looked carefully: there were three villages, still scattered across the land, not bordering the settlements of other Ardei tribes.

Budokaribas sighed and said, "Captain Maximus, I have to ask you to wait for a moment. I need to discuss this with the other leaders. By the way, can you lend me this map first?"

"no problem."

Budokaribas returned to the team carrying the wooden map.
