Chapter 213 - 142 The Brave Segestica Chief Wallis
Maximus moistened his somewhat dry throat with spit and continued, "If we surround the village, the neighboring Segestica Village will definitely send troops for rescue upon getting the news. Will we be able to defeat them by ambushing them on the way?
If we continuously capture two or three Segestica people’s villages, not only will we have a sufficient supply of food, but we will also weaken the strength of the larger Segestica Tribe. By the time they lead their troops to attack us, I wonder if they can still gather an army of over ten thousand people?
As long as we defeat the larger Segestica Tribe, then all the villages and farmlands east of Validosi and along the Kupa River will belong to us. Do we still need to build houses? Do slash-and-burn farming? ..."
Maximus expressed the ideas he had pondered repeatedly after inspecting Validosi as questions, stirring the emotions of everyone present.
Maximus prepared to add the final touch, "We are very close to the Segestica people’s village. Perhaps tomorrow, or the day after, the warriors coming to harass might discover our presence, and by then, we would lose the element of surprise, and the Segestica people would be on alert. We will face continuous battles with them, and whether it is slash-and-burn farming or transforming Validosi, it will definitely not be easy to accomplish!"
The military tent fell silent for a moment.
"Leader, our Second Legion can absolutely go to battle tomorrow, and we are fully confident of defeating the Segestica people!" Torrelugo was the first to declare.
"Our First Legion can also go to battle tomorrow!" Fesaros was a step behind and had to shout loudly.
Immediately following, Camillus, Oluus, and Pequot also expressed their willingness to lead troops to battle.
