Chapter 381 Solving the Problem of Gonam Lake
The players ran, collided, passed, and intercepted on the court. Every attack and interception was full of tension and excitement. Outside the court, both ordinary people and the Knicks executives and VIPs in the stands were marvelously impressed by the players from both sides. Attracted by the performance, cheers and shouts came and went, like a blazing fire beside a pot, making the game boil.
Only Maximus's mind was not on the game in front of him. While the people were having fun, he was still busy with tribal affairs, so he asked his attendants to call Carlsipempas and the pirate leaders he had brought. .
Although Maximus is only twenty-six years old, he has been in charge of the Nyx tribe for many years and has a sense of majesty. Coupled with the mighty personal guards surrounding them, the unruly pirate leaders across the Mediterranean were too nervous to speak.
Maximus pretended to be thoughtful, and after a moment he agreed to the request made by Kalsipempas, allowing these pirate leaders to join the Nyx tribe with their remaining men.
At the same time, he also gave a serious warning: after the pirates join the tribe, they will be separated into various villages. They must strictly abide by the tribe's laws, and if they violate them, they will be punished accordingly.
Agatacus and the others hurriedly nodded in agreement. After entering Nyx for more than a day, they had been attracted by this tribe that was established in a wilderness area but had the prosperity of a coastal city-state. They were worried that they would be rejected and not be able to join.
After finishing this matter, Carlsipempas made no other requests.
Maximus didn't ask, he understood that Ardie's old friend was still hesitant.
Aristarchus watched Calsipempas lead the people to meet Maximus, and then watched him lead the people back to their seats. The people who followed him were all smiling, and he couldn't help but continue. Thinking: What benefits did this kid get?
Although Nyx and Ardei have been allies for many years, and Aristarchus is the leader of Ardei and is related by marriage to Maximus, he is very aware of the relationship between Maximus and Carlsipempas. The relationship is closer than oneself.
Although he has secured his position as the leader in recent years because of Maximus, and no leader dares to provoke him, every time he wants to reach out to obtain more iron ore profits to satisfy his more needs. When needed, the annoying Pygris would run up to him and express the Nyx tribe's support for Chalsipempas euphemistically but firmly.
Maximus's friendship with this pirate is really enviable! I wonder what benefit this time has given him? ...Aristakas thought jealously.
At this time, Ambrasinos, who was next to him, whispered to him: "Big Chief, I sent someone to inquire quietly last night. The people following Carl Sipempas are all his pirate men. I heard that recently The Romans continued to frantically pursue pirates at sea. They could no longer continue plundering at sea and were forced to flee to our mountains..."
Aristakas was surprised, his mind was racing, and he showed a gloating smile: "This means that Kalsipempas can no longer be a pirate, and can only rely on digging iron ore to exchange food and supplies for the tribes in the mountains. ...In this case, I can consider whether to hold a tribal meeting immediately after returning to renegotiate the issue of iron ore profits? "
"Big boss, you'd better not be so direct to avoid another intervention from the Knicks!" Ambrasinos reminded.
Arista Kass suddenly fell down and sighed helplessly.
When the Nyx tribe was first established, Aristarchus still looked down upon the Nyx tribe; during his time as acting chief, he was still a little ambitious and wanted to compare with Maximus; but now, he has completely fallen flat. , after all, he is invited to participate in the festival every year to understand the growing strength of the Knicks tribe. The weak Aldee is completely unable to compare with it. The primary and secondary relationships between the alliance have long been adjusted.
"Big Chief, you don't need to rush to convene a tribal meeting, but you can ask Kalsipempas to take the initiative to talk to us about the iron ore revenue..." Ambrasinos leaned into Aristakas' ear again. Side, whispered a few words.
Aristakas soon broke into laughter and said: "Okay, let's do it this time. I don't see how proud Carlsipempas is this time!"
Then he thought of something again and asked hesitantly: "Karsipempas can no longer be a pirate. Will Maximus not value him as much as before?"
"Uh..." Ambrasinos rolled his eyes: "Big Chief, before we return to the tribe, why don't you test Maximus and ask him to send us a few carts of beer? If he agrees, it means that Carl Sipimpa Si is no longer important, he is starting to show favor to us."
"This is a good idea!" When the beer was mentioned, Aristakas immediately felt his mouth watering: "The beer made by the Nyx tribe is indeed delicious!"

"Go and fetch Adatis," Maximus said to the attendant.
After a while, Adatis came.
The acting leader of the Segostika tribe, the most powerful in the Gonami Lake area, stood in front of Maximus and looked a little nervous.
Maximus looked at him and asked gently: "Come here this time to see your father, right?"
"I went to see him. He is better than last year, but he can't go to the ground yet. He told me not to worry, he is here... very good." Adatis replied.
At the beginning, Adatis' father Iberus led his people to try to plunder the territory of Segestica occupied by the Nix tribe by boat, but suffered a disastrous defeat. He himself was seriously injured and fell into the water. He was later rescued by Nix soldiers and treated in the Nix tribal hospital. He miraculously survived, but because of the severe injury to his spine, his lower body was paralyzed.
Under Maximus' instructions, Ophidalia Hospital has been treating him. Every time Adatis came, he was allowed to visit.
"I have good news for you." Maximus said meaningfully: "After the autumn harvest, I, Nix, will attack Brochi, and you and your son will be reunited. I just don't know if you will still fulfill the previous agreement?"
Adatis was shocked and quickly expressed his position: "The people of our Gonam Lake have long been looking forward to joining the Nix tribe. Now it can finally be realized, and everyone will be very happy! As long as you, Chief Maximus, say a word, we will announce our joining the Nix tomorrow!"
"Even if you are moved away from Gonam Lake and dispersed to other areas after joining the Nix tribe, will you be happy?" Maximus smiled meaningfully.
"The environment of Lake Gonamite is very bad. When the rainy season comes, the land around the village is soaked in water. It is good to harvest half of the wheat we planted in autumn. We had no way before..." Adatis answered seriously: "When we move to other places, the tribesmen can get fertile land and eat soft bread. No one wants to soak in the mud, be bitten by mosquitoes, and eat smelly fish and shrimp every day."
"What about you leaders and nobles?" Maximus looked at him with interest: "Are you willing to abandon your past identities and become an ordinary reserve tribesman of the Nix tribe?"
"The leaders and nobles in our Gonamite Lake area live not much better than ordinary tribesmen, and they are not as comfortable as the reserve tribesmen of Nix." Adatis replied with an unchanged expression: "Besides, even if some people are still reluctant, they have to agree under the current circumstances."
"You are honest." Maximus smiled.
"Captain Maximus, can I ask you a few questions on behalf of our people in Lake Gonam?" Adatis raised his head and asked with courage.
"What questions?"
"After we join the Nix tribe, will all our people who were captured by you before be released? And will they all become Nix's reserve people?"
"Of course, the agreement we signed before has already made it very clear."
"Captain Maximus, we asked to join the Nix tribe two years ago, but in order to confuse the Brochi people, we complied with your request and postponed it until now. So the time we joined the Nix tribe... should it be counted from the time the agreement was signed two years ago?"
Adatis asked carefully. This was not his personal request. At the beginning, they were forced to rush to surrender to the Nix tribe and did not think so much. Later, as the exchanges between the two sides increased, the people of Lake Gonam had more desires.
Maximus covered his chin, was silent for a while, and said: "This time we, Nix, launched a war, and your tribes must also send teams to participate--"
Maximus saw that Adatis wanted to speak, and said in a strong tone: "You don't need to participate in the battle, you just need to help transport supplies and provide labor. After the war is won, I will agree to your request and count the time when the people of Gomi Lake join the Nix tribe as the day the agreement is signed."
Adatis breathed a sigh of relief and immediately made a promise: "Thank you, Chief Maximus! I will go back and discuss with other chiefs, and I believe they will agree."
"Okay, I'll wait for your good news. But you'd better hurry up, because time is tight!" Maximus reminded.
"Don't worry, I understand!" Adatis responded solemnly.
Watching Adatis leave, Maximus also breathed a sigh of relief.
After the Nix tribe captured the core area of Segestica and then severely defeated the fleet of the Gonamite tribe that was trying to plunder, they rested for half a year. Then, under the order of Maximus, the Sava River Fleet went out to the Gonamite Lake to attack any boats on the lake, arrest fishermen and sailors, and even went ashore to destroy the crops planted by the Gonamite people. The Gonamite people, whose strength was greatly damaged, could not stop the Nix fleet from plundering. They wanted to set up an ambush and lure the enemy into the reed marsh, but the Nix people never took the bait...
