Chapter 260 - 165 Worship of the Divine_2
After a period of time, we’ll release these captives back, and by then, the Segestica Tribe will certainly fall into chaos..."
"Good idea!" Maximus applauded. "Conflicts are bound to arise between the Old Leader and the New Leader, the Old Nobles and the New Nobles—it’s a clash of interests, inevitable! Just one thing... Are the tribal leaders and nobles under Segestica appointed by the Great Chief?"
"Usually, it’s inherited through generations and then submitted to the Great Chief for confirmation. But Andres is assertive and eager to open hostilities with us; he’ll likely directly assign heirs from the families of these captives to stabilize the tribe quickly and save time..." Emmerich explained.
"I see..." Maximus pondered for a moment, then said, "Akegu, go find Flanitnus immediately and tell him to halt the transfer of captives to Alde. Separate the Segestica tribal leaders and nobles among the captives for me and replace their count with ordinary captives... Later, I’ll explain the situation personally to Budocaribas. Off you go!"
"Understood!"
Emmerich, emboldened by seeing his suggestion accepted, added, "Leader, I have one more suggestion."
"Whatever suggestions you have, say them all at once—don’t drop them out piecemeal." Maximus joked.
"After the Skodisqi people became slaves, the Pannonians prohibited them from worshipping their Divine. Now that they’ve gained freedom, they’ve asked me to ask you, Leader, if they might be allowed to resume their worship?"
