Rome Must Perish

Spukala stood up with a puzzled look.

"And Doctor Minujus, please stand up as well."

Minujus, equally puzzled, stood up and exchanged glances with Spukala.

Maximus looked at the crowd: "Everyone, do you know what the most important difference is between our Nix Tribe and the other tribes in these mountains?"

Quintus felt a spark in his heart: "It should be that we are more civilized than the other tribes."

Maximus solemnly said: "Exactly. We are more civilized, and civilization is primarily reflected in knowledge and technology! Minujus is a doctor, and he has used his medical skills to save many wounded soldiers; Spukala is an engineer who often designs our camps. In the future, he will design bridges, build water hammers, water mills, and much more for us. These two are the greatest treasures of our tribe and the reason why we are fundamentally different from other tribes!

Therefore, individuals like Spukala and Minujus, even if they do not hold any official positions in the tribe, should earn everyone’s respect, and we should create better conditions for them to fully utilize their talents! I also intend to give them special rewards to express my gratitude for their past contributions. I will discuss this in more detail later."

After the two sat down, both were quite emotional, especially Minujus.

One must understand that Minujus had not willingly joined the group initially. It was only because his whole family had been captured that he was forced to join. After more than a year of living together, he reluctantly accepted his fate. But today, Maximus’s high regard for him was something he had never experienced as a doctor before.

Now, both he and Spukala eagerly awaited Maximus’s rewards because this young leader often had surprising ideas.

Maximus then solemnly instructed: "Capito, the strength of our Nix Tribe largely depends on the Public Works Department! Pottery and wooden bowls make our daily lives more convenient; stone bricks and tiles allow us to construct better houses; roads and bridges aid our movement; charcoal, iron plows, and wagons enhance agricultural and commercial development; weapons and armor benefit our battles... The Public Works Department is connected to every aspect of our tribe, so you must take this work seriously!"

Capito merely nodded firmly. He wasn’t fond of boasting and enjoyed a life filled with challenges. He was quite pleased with the task Maximus had assigned to him.
