Rome Must Perish

"Three years!" Maximus saw the other person’s expression worsen and suddenly raised his voice: "Just three years of hard work to contribute to our Nix Tribe, proving your sincerity to all the tribesmen, and during these three years, you will become familiar with the tribe’s life, understand and consciously abide by the tribe’s laws. Then you will become an official tribesman of the Nix Tribe, enjoying the same rights as other tribesmen. For instance, each will be allotted 50 acres of land, can be enlisted by the tribe, and fight for the tribe...

Note! If they manage to kill an enemy in direct combat, they will be promoted from ordinary tribesmen to second-class tribesmen, and the tribe will allocate him an additional 10 acres of land and he will earn the respect of other tribesmen.

If in the next battle he kills two enemies, he will be promoted from second-class to first-class tribesmen, and the tribe will allocate him an additional 20 acres of land.

If he then kills three more enemies, he will be promoted from first-class tribesmen to Knight, and the tribe will allocate him an additional 20 acres of land..."

Emmerich listened to Maximus’s words, initially dissatisfied but then calmed, and gradually, his face lit up with surprise, his mouth widened in astonishment...

As a Druid, Emmerich had not only stayed in various tribes among the Skodisqi people, but had also visited other Celtic Tribes to learn and exchange knowledge with other Druids, such as the Boyi people to the north, Taurisci, and Noric people (all of whom belong to the Celtic)...

Even in his youth, he had learned Latin and had some understanding of the powerful neighbor on the Italian Peninsula to the west—Rome. Yet, he had never heard of any power or race having such a strange system until he couldn’t help but interrupt Maximus: "Is this a...decree made by your tribe?"

"Of course, it’s our tribe’s decree, and it is the first decree. It’s not something I casually made up to fool you." Maximus said solemnly: "This decree is called the Twenty Peerage System. From now on, anyone joining my Nix Tribe will start from the lowest level as a Reserve Tribe Member. This is not specifically targeting you Skodisqi people.

Through this decree, our tribe does not consider the background of new entrants—not their lineage, nor their wealth—but solely their contributions to the tribe! The more contributions one makes, the higher their status in the tribe will be, and the more wealth and power they will gain! As long as they have the talent and are willing to work for the tribe, they can easily stand out! I can say that none of the current tribesmen of the Nix Tribe are Nobles, but in the future, each of them could become Nobles!"
