Chapter 230 The Battle of the Big Boss

Is it because he joined the team a few months later than them? ...Walles would occasionally have such thoughts.

The large wooden house next to the tribal hall is Maximus' office. A friend from the secretarial department was standing in front of the door. When he saw Valles arriving, he immediately went in to report.

"Let him in quickly." A familiar voice came from inside.

Valles shook his head to get rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind.

The friend came out and made a "please come in" gesture. He walked a few steps, entered the room, and respectfully saluted Maximus sitting in the middle: "Meet the leader!"

"Valles, do you know why I called you here so late?" Maximus asked kindly.

Valles shook his head.

"In today's tribal meeting, I proposed that in order to bridge the conflicts among the tribal people and make the tribe more united, it is best to establish a system of worship of gods that is unique to our Knicks and suitable for the people here. Everyone passed After discussion and agreement, Emmerich and the chief officers of the nine departments will formulate a plan and then submit it to me for review..."

This scene is a bit weird. The leader of a tribe is telling an immature boy about the important affairs of the tribe, and the boy is actually nodding his head from time to time.

In fact, Maximus often discussed some tribal affairs in private with his trusted attendants to enhance their knowledge and increase their experience in handling affairs. Therefore, Valles could not only understand Maximus's words from time to time. He came up with some fresh political terminology, and he was keenly aware that his long-awaited expectations may have results today.

Sure enough, Maximus continued: "Next, I will establish a temple division to be responsible for supervising all the temples and priests in the tribe and their sacrificial activities. The director of this temple division... I will consider temporarily letting Ai Merici served.

But he also takes care of other affairs, so the specific affairs of the Temple Department will fall to the deputy director of the Temple Department. I remember that half a year ago you had a wonderful discussion on 'Why our tribe didn't build a temple at that time', So I decided to let you serve as the adjutant of this temple department. How about it? Do you have the confidence to do well? "

"Yes!" Valles shouted excitedly.

"Very good!" Maximus said sternly: "Now I will give you a task. Go back and think about how to manage the temple department and supervise the temples and priests in the tribe so that they can both Can it achieve the purpose of bridging the conflicts among the people and making the tribe more united? At the same time, will it affect our management of the tribe... Then write down your ideas and show them to me. "

"Yes!" Valles responded loudly. Maximus' request not only made him feel pressured, but also made him feel excited.

"Some time ago, Akeguo and the others were sent out to do some work, but you were the only one left with me. Do you feel a little resentful?"

Valles was slightly shocked. Facing Maximus who was still smiling, he quickly denied: "No! Really not!"

"I want to find the most suitable position for the best students. This is why I kept you until the end!" Maximus looked at him and said with a smile: "It's getting late, go back and have a good rest."

Valles couldn't help but ask: "Chief, which department does this temple department belong to?"

Maximus said meaningfully: "The temple department is directly under my responsibility."

"Oh, I understand!" Valles saluted excitedly. When he walked out of the door, his heart was always warm.

…………………………………………………………………………

After attending the meeting of the Pannoni Tribal Alliance, Kabudez quickly returned to Segostika, and then prepared to hold a tribal meeting to elect a new chief.

The tribal leaders of Segostika rushed from their respective territories to the main village and gathered in the tribal hall.

Presiding over the meeting was Hermigas, the priest of Segestica.

Standing next to him was the Alliance messenger who had followed Kabudez here.

Dozens of Segestica chiefs were divided into three parts: the chiefs who were highly promoted by Andres or admired Andres very much sat on the left side of the hall, headed by Pulicas, surrounded by Andres. Les's 10-year-old son Ancasus; the chiefs who supported Kabdus surrounded him and sat on the right side of the hall; the chiefs who had not yet made up their minds sat in the middle, depending on the situation.

After everyone sat down in the hall, Pulikas kept glaring at Kabudez opposite, and he was very angry.

Because Kabdus had previously promised to Pulicas that he would "let Ancasus take over the position of his father's chief," but after he returned from the tribal alliance, he ostensibly held a tribal meeting in accordance with the prior agreement, but At the end of the day, Pulikas discovered that this guy actually also proposed to "compete for the big boss."

Pulikaston felt that he had been fooled. He tried to reason with this treacherous guy several times, but he always avoided him. It was not until today that they met in the hall. Looking at the scene where he was chatting and laughing with the people around him, Pulikaston Si gritted his teeth in anger.

At this time, the priest Hermicas said loudly: "Everyone, leaders, since our chief Andres died of illness, the position of the chief leader of the tribe has been vacant. I have called you all here today to elect a leader. The new leader of Segostika will reassure all the people of the tribe and lead us to restore our past glory!”

He paused and pointed his finger to the left: "The candidates competing for the great leader include Ancasus, the son of Andres!"

Pricas hurriedly reminded Ancasus to stand up, and at the same time he was the first to cheer, and others around him also cheered.

After all, Ancasus was only a teenager. The attention and cheers from everyone made him feel nervous. He stood up in a hurry and sat down again.

"And the Kabdus we know well!" Hermigas pointed his finger to the right again.

Kabudez stood up with a smile on his face, opened his arms, and slowly turned on the spot, accepting the cheers of the crowd.

The cheers this time were obviously stronger than the last time.

Plika's expression suddenly changed, and he gritted his teeth and stood up: "Wait a minute! This method of electing the leader violates our tradition! The leader of Segestica is never elected, but is elected by noble blood. The natural inheritance of the great leader's family from generation to generation, first the old leader Ambras, and then the great leader Andres, now it is natural that Ancasus should take the position of the great leader. This is what Segestica, Even the traditions of the major Pannoni tribes!”

Pulikas' question caused a sudden silence in the hall.

Kabdus said hurriedly: "Pulicas, don't forget, I am also the son of Callicus (Calicus is the father of Ambras and the former chief of Segestica), The noble blood of the great leader’s family also flows in his body——”

"But you are not a direct bloodline!" Pulikas retorted unceremoniously.

"So what if I'm not directly connected! Am I not -" Kabudez just retorted, but suddenly saw some people looking at him differently, and immediately shut up.

It turned out that Andres led his army to attack foreign mercenaries last year, but the battle suffered a disastrous defeat and many nobles of the Segestica tribe were captured. After hearing that the Ardeis had massacred the captives, Andres appointed a group of nobles to take over the territories and people of the captured nobles in order to recruit troops as soon as possible and fight again. Many of them were members of the captured noble families. Later, these captured Segostika nobles were released. As a result, the two sides had a quarrel that has not been completely resolved to this day. Kabdus almost used words to reveal the pain points of some people.

His momentary loss of words allowed Pricas to seize the opportunity and press further: "Kabdus, you also realize that you are wrong! The respected priest of Hermigas, you are the one who knows our Pannoni best. Traditional sage, I hope you can defend it and recognize Ancasus, the only son of Andres and a direct bloodline of the great chief family, as the new great chief!”

Before Hermigas could respond, the Alliance envoy who was watching the ceremony suddenly interjected loudly: "Speaking of our Pannoni tradition, before the Skodisci invaded this land, our major tribes were like Today, we still elect big leaders. Later, in order to better enslave us, the Skodisqi people appointed the big leaders of each major tribe, and passed them down from generation to generation...

Now we have been independent for more than 10 years. The reason why the chief leaders of the major tribes are still appointed by the original Skodisqi people, or the sons of these original chiefs take over, is because they are all defeating the Skodisqi people. They played an important role in the war, and their abilities were recognized by the people, so there is no need to make any further recommendations! But today—"

The alliance envoy looked at Pulikas, emphasized his tone, and said loudly: "Not only you Segostika, but also other large tribes are facing a major crisis now, so the tribal alliance hopes that you Segostika will elect a leader. A capable leader who can work together with other large tribes to overcome this difficulty! "

The words of the alliance envoy immediately caused a commotion in the hall. The tribal leaders were no better than ordinary people. They knew a little bit about the "major crisis" the envoy said, but they did not expect that the other party would say it so seriously, so the discussion started. .

Pulikas secretly complained: Kabudez actually has the support of the tribal alliance. It will be difficult for Ancasus to take over!

But he still asked unwillingly: "Is the tribal alliance going to violate the agreement and interfere in Segostika's internal affairs?!"

The messenger sneered and responded calmly: "It's okay for Segostika not to follow the advice of the tribal alliance, but it may be a little difficult to seek help from the tribal alliance in the future."
