Chapter 231 - 151: Segestica Great Chief Andres
Maximus naturally wouldn’t speak to them, but he would speak to every nurse or doctor who remained in the ward, using Illyrian, in a loud and firm voice to remind them: they must take good care of these wounded soldiers. Though they are enemies now, they are also Illyrians, and a hundred years ago, they stood united with other Illyrian tribes, as close as brothers. He believes that one day in the future, the Pannonians and them will bond as one family again, just as they did a century ago.
No matter whether the wounded soldiers were moved or not, after leaving, Maximus further instructed Horace to ensure that doctors and nurses who spoke Illyrian deliberately impart similar words to the wounded soldiers as often as possible.
Horace gave him his assurance.
Maximus waited for a while outside the house where the Skodisqi wounded resided, and saw Emmerich approaching.
He had changed into a clean linen robe, which was probably found for him by Akegu. He had also trimmed his long hair and shaved his beard, though unevenly and a bit patchy, the transformation was significant—it was as though he had become a different person.
Maximus was pleased with Emmerich’s actions, feeling that his effort showed not just compliance with the Medical Department’s rules but also his resolve to join the Nix Tribe and become one of them.
After entering the house, Maximus gave Emmerich the lead role.
Emmerich was genuinely concerned for each Skodisqi wounded soldier, especially his severely injured compatriots, and his mood remained heavy as he saw them.
Despite this, he patiently comforted them, assuring them they could heal without worry because they were now members of the Nix Tribe, and the Nix people would take good care of them. Of course, he didn’t forget to introduce the Nix Tribe’s leader, Maximus, praising him as a capable, trustworthy, and compassionate leader who could protect them, and so forth.
