Chapter 251 - 161: The Magnanimous Maximus?
Gowes could hear the mockery in his words, his face slightly changed, but he still forced himself to explain: "I’m not saying you should thank us, but at least you should give us some reasonable—"
"Medical Officer Emmerich!" Maximus rudely interrupted him and loudly asked, "Do you think what this person is saying is correct?"
"Of course not!" Emmerich answered without hesitation. He looked earnestly at Gowes and the others, gently advising, "You’ve just arrived here and don’t understand the situation. I told you before, the Nix Tribe defeated the Segestica people twice in one day. Wallis, in his battle against the Nix Army, as usual, forced hundreds of our compatriots to charge first. As a result, not only did they fail to disrupt the Nix Army’s formation, but they also suffered heavy casualties in a very short time...
So, before this battle, upon learning that you were among the Segestica forces, I became very concerned and pleaded with Leader Maximus to find a way to rescue you...
You’ve participated in many wars and should know how difficult it is to rescue you at the frontline of two battling armies, especially since the Nix Army is far less numerous than the Segestica people, and there was no way to contact you beforehand. Any slight mistake could lead to a disaster for you and the entire Nix Army!...
I knew it would be hard to agree to such a request; even if our former tribe still existed, the Great Chief might find it hard to make such a decision... But Leader Maximus agreed and repeatedly discussed it with the Nix Tribe’s leaders, ultimately formulating a very detailed plan, mobilizing the entire tribe to work overnight to make those banners and clothes, and having the tribe’s warriors practice according to the plan repeatedly until no errors were made...
To save you strangers, the Nix Tribe put in so much effort and took such risks that you can never repay this life-saving grace!
Not to mention, in the Nix Tribe’s original battle plan, you were not included. The task of intercepting the Segestica stragglers would have been assigned to some of the Nix Soldiers and some compatriots who joined the tribe earlier. It was I who felt that the Nix Tribe spent so much to rescue you that you should do something for Nix. So I requested Leader Maximus to take on this task.
