Chapter 234 - 152 Maximus’s Request_2
Not only has the number of the rebel army more than doubled, but the grain and supplies they have seized are also piling up like mountains, with poultry and livestock running around everywhere...
As a result, the temporary camp of the rebel army underwent an emergency expansion yesterday, stretching from the banks of the Murenica River to the northern foothills, divided into inner and outer camps. Of course, the camp’s structure is still very rudimentary, and time must be spent gradually perfecting the entire camp.
When Budocaribas and Karsipengpas, who rushed over upon hearing the news, saw the captive troops lined up in long queues, weeping incessantly, they knew the news they heard yesterday was true—Maximus’ forces had indeed captured two Segestica villages; otherwise, such a big gain wouldn’t be possible.
Likewise, Aldean Great Chief Acoupaigos and elder Cleobrotas, who also arrived upon receiving the news yesterday afternoon, found it unbelievable: these outsiders had just settled down and so hastily waged war against the Segestica people. It seemed too rushed!
However, this was good news for the Alde Tribe, indicating that the young leader indeed kept his word.
Although Acoupaigos had limited mobility, this was an important matter for the Alde, so he naturally had to come and see for himself. However, he wasn’t planning to rush over right away as that would seem too deliberate, lacking in restraint, so they only arrived at the temporary camp the next day.
As a result, the scene of being overcrowded with supplies on the ground left them both dumbfounded, and even more so, they were shocked that the rebel army had broken through two Segestica villages in just one day.
Such good news even caused the old Acoupaigos to break his usual stoicism, coming forward to congratulate: "Congratulations to Leader Maximus on gaining a glorious victory!"
"Now the Great Chief can finally relax, right?" Maximus looked at him with a faint smile.
