Chapter 308 Temporary Village Supervisor
"You came just in time. I just received the notice and was about to send someone to find you."
"Is there anything you need me to do?" Selicis asked hurriedly.
"Today, a group of people from the Ministry of Agriculture will come over. They are going to start measuring the fields around the village. You have to tell all the villagers not to interfere with the work of the Ministry of Agriculture. In addition, they need a lot of wood when measuring the fields. poles, but they didn’t bring many. I hope you can bring the villagers to help make some. After all, if you help them measure the fields earlier, you can get the land earlier. "
Celysis suddenly became excited and asked eagerly: "What kind of wooden pole are we going to make?"
"Any wood will do, as long as it's strong enough." Staggs gestured with his hand: "It must be at least this long and this thick."
"How much?"
"The more, the merrier."
"I'm going to tell the people right now. Don't worry, if they know the news, they will definitely help." After Selicis finished speaking, he turned around and walked out.
"Don't worry, there is something else." Starks stopped Selicis, stuffed the last bit of bread into his mouth, took another sip of water, and then said: "The Medical Department also sent a medical team The team will be here soon... The medical inspection is to help treat the injured and injured people in the village. When the time comes, you can call all the people in need here and ask them to help take a look. . And don’t forget your right leg. Let them take a good look at it, maybe it can be cured for you.”
"Okay, I remember, I will notify the sick people to come over." Selicis promised, but didn't take it too seriously. He had been injured for more than a year, and he even visited the main camp during this period. The priests there had looked at him, but they couldn't cure him completely. He had already given up hope.
"Just now, my staff told me that no one has come to register so far. You must know that people lined up early two days ago. Do you think the remaining 75 households have already been registered? Decided not to join our Knicks tribe?" Staggs asked.
Selicis thought for a moment and replied: "It is possible that there are men in these seventy-five households. When I went to persuade them one by one yesterday, most of them did not relent."
Not only did they not let go, some even insulted Selicis as a traitor and wanted to beat him... Selicis did not say this out loud because he was afraid that he would offend the Knicks and be disadvantageous to them. After all, they were all People who have lived together for more than ten years.
Staggs looked at him and asked in a deep voice: "What do you think makes them so stubborn?"
"I think it may be that they still have difficulty accepting that their tribe has not yet been completely destroyed, so they hurriedly joined the enemies of the destroyed tribe." Selicis said calmly.
In fact, he did not tell the truth completely. According to what he persuaded at these people's homes yesterday, most of them actually had the same idea as the injured and disabled young tribesman before, but the young tribesman used this statement to justify joining Nick. They were trying to hide their shame, but they firmly believed that the reinforcements from the Pannoni Tribe Alliance could come back soon and drive away the Nix people who occupied the tribal land.
"Oh, that's it." Staggs couldn't help but mocked: "These people think too much, and they will live very tiredly in the future."
"How about I go and persuade them again today?" Selicis asked again, pretending to be positive.
"No, if they don't want to join, they won't join. After today, they will be the foreign auxiliary people of the tribe, and they can just make some space for the newly moved tribesmen." Staggs said nonchalantly: "They will regret it if they wait too long, but it will not be easy to join the tribe if they wait until then."
Selicis sighed inwardly.
Next, he was busy mobilizing the people who had already joined the Nix tribe to make wooden poles.
Things went very smoothly, not only because Selicis had prestige and charisma, but also because the people learned that the purpose of making wooden poles was to measure the land so that they could allocate land to them later, so everyone behaved very well. He was so active that he even removed the wooden fence outside his yard because there was not enough wood.
In the morning, a work team sent by the Ministry of Agriculture arrived. After meeting with Staggs, more than 40 people, escorted by dozens of soldiers sent by Staggs, came to the outside of the village non-stop and began to measurement work.
Although there are many teenagers in this work team, things are done in an orderly manner. The children each have their own tasks and each one is focused on their work.
The people in the village also rushed to the vicinity of the work team. They kept Selicis' instructions in mind and did not come forward to disturb them. However, just watching the work team measure the fields made them extremely excited. They simply stood next to them. Directly making wooden poles has greatly improved the efficiency of the work team.
These Segestika people had seen two teenagers registering them in the main house before, and now they saw so many teenagers measuring, calculating, and recording in the fields. This was a great shock to them. .
Because in their old concepts, these things can only be done by priests with high status and profound knowledge, but all the teenagers in Nix seem to be able to write and calculate, which makes them more optimistic about their future life in the Nix tribe. Yearning for it, and at the same time, a strong thought arose in my heart: I must send my children to study in that school, and become as great a person as a priest in the future!
On the morning of the fourth day, Starks led his 70 soldiers and escorted hundreds of foreign auxiliaries to the east end of the village.
"Maeotias, there is no need to send them away anymore, go back." Staggs looked at his men and said seriously: "Although after I took these people away, the village is now full of people who have joined the tribe. "But don't let your guard down. Before you receive the order to leave, you must maintain order in the village and don't let our efforts these days go to waste!"
"Don't worry, captain, I will guard this place." Maotias solemnly promised, and also reminded: "But captain, you must send someone to inform us as soon as possible."
Staggs nodded, and then ordered the other two captains of ten to obey Maientias's arrangements.
Finally, he looked at the temporary village manager who came to see him off, and said sincerely: "Selysis, I am very happy to meet you in this village. You have helped us a lot! Thank you!"
"I'm also very happy to meet you. It makes me feel that joining the Knicks is not...a bad thing." Selicis said more implicitly.
Staggs laughed and said: "Not only is it not a bad thing, it is a great good thing for you! Because you are very capable, capable people will not be buried in our tribe. But, You must continue to take good care of your tribe, help Maiontias and the others maintain order in the village, and continue to show your abilities to the tribe. I believe that you will never be just a temporary village director in the future."
Staggs' words touched Selicis's heart, but he couldn't express it directly. He just nodded slightly, turned to look at the tribesmen in front who were forced to leave the village by the Knick soldiers, and asked with a little worry: "They...will have no problems next, right?"
"Although these people do not want to join the tribe, according to the law, they have become foreign auxiliaries of the tribe. We will send them to your main camp. As long as they don't cause trouble and work hard, they will live well. Maybe Half a year or a year later, they joined the tribe and came back.”
"hope so."
"It's time for us to set off. Let's see you later." Staggs said, extending his right hand.
"Goodbye!" Selicis also stretched out his hand, and the two shook hands hard.
Watching Staggs and his entourage go away, Selicis actually felt a little sad. Although he had only worked with Staggs for three days, maybe it was because he was so compatible with them that he felt a little empty at the moment. .
He stood there with Maiontias and the other three captains until the entire team disappeared from sight, then turned and walked back.
As we were about to arrive at the main house, Maimyantias' voice came from behind: "Selysis, I feel that your leg is feeling better, isn't it?"
Selicis subconsciously reached out to touch the injured area, but felt a thick layer of linen. Then he remembered that Staggs had called Dr. Nix yesterday and insisted on seeing him. He reluctantly agreed.
After reading it, Dr. Nicks made a suggestion: The flesh around his repeatedly ulcerated wound must be dug out, and then herbs should be applied, and it should be able to heal.
At Staggs's urging again, he reluctantly agreed to give it a try. He could bear the pain of cutting the flesh, and he could bear the burning after applying the medicine, but the intermittent itching on his legs when he went to bed at night prevented him from sleeping well. This morning he was thinking about saying goodbye to Staggs. , he had forgotten about the injury on his leg. Now after being reminded by Maeantias, he found that not only did the wound no longer itch, but his right leg also didn’t hurt much after he landed on the ground, and he didn’t dare to exert any force.
Selicis suddenly felt relieved and thought to himself: The medical skills of the Knicks are really good! When the doctor comes back for his inspection tomorrow, he must take the initiative to find someone else to change the dressing and apply it again.

Pulikas took Andres' son Ancasus and jumped into the boat that had been prepared, and escaped from the captured East Village of Segestica. The group of people took the boat and followed the winding road. The Sava River flows southward.
Seeing that they were out of danger, the men made several suggestions: stop the boat and dock, find a tribe first, fill their stomachs, and then discuss what to do next.
They were all rejected by him.
In the afternoon, the river in front suddenly widened. On the right bank were patches of reeds that stretched forward to the end of the field of vision. The reeds dancing with the river wind covered narrow waterways, and occasionally paddlers could be seen. Fishermen in small boats walked through it... The warm sunshine shone on the golden reeds, pairs of egrets soared in the sky, and groups of wild ducks played in the river...
