Chapter 259 - 165: Worshipping the Divine
"Of course, you’ve seen over the past few days that our tribe isn’t considered strong yet, while the Mazi Tribe... I’ve heard it’s the center of the Pannonians’ territory?" Maximus looked uncertainly at Emmerich.
"Yes, the Mazi Tribe is in the middle of the seven major Pannonian tribes, and their tribal alliance meetings are also held in the Main Camp of the Mazi Tribe. If we attack the Main Camp of the Mazi Tribe, the other major Pannonian tribes would certainly rally together in rescue." Emmerich reminded.
Maximus seized the moment to continue: "So, you see, it will take us in the Nix Tribe a considerable amount of time to fulfill our promise to you, and you need to wait patiently.
But I assure you, once the tribe is capable of confronting the entire body of Pannonians, I will definitely lead an attack on the Mazi Tribe, defeat them, and rescue your wife!"
"I understand, I can wait!" Jilipus resolutely said.
He had been in the camp for several days, aware that the Nix Tribe had only just been founded and was far fewer in number than the Segestica Tribe, yet dared to launch an attack against Segestica and continued to win. Seeing the countless Segestica prisoners in the camp, he knew that the Segestica Tribe probably no longer had the capacity to fight the Nix.
Before arriving, he had even discussed in detail with Emmerich, knowing that the leader of the Nix Tribe harbored extraordinary ambition, and thought to himself: If given a bit more development time, they might dare challenge the entire Pannonians!
Jilipus could only choose to believe this, as it was his only hope.
"By the way, how is your wife doing now?" Maximus asked with concern.
"I... I don’t know... Since leaving the Mazi Tribe, I haven’t been able to get any news about her..." Jilipus said painfully.
Maximus saw him clutching the armrests so tightly that his nails were white from exertion, further affirming in his mind Jilipus’s sincerity in wanting to join the Nix Tribe, and instead said, "Emmerich, how are you planning to send Ligpus back to the Segestica Territory without raising suspicion?"
