Chapter 322 - 201: Dividing the Land
The cheers lasted for quite a while before gradually subsiding. Only then did Maximus continue shouting, "Do you still remember? When we had just started this endeavor, and I had just become the Supply Team Captain, I promised you that one day you would own your own homes and your own land. Has that promise been fulfilled now?!"
"It has!!!"
"Thank you, Leader!!!"
"Leader, your promises are always kept!!!"
...
The tribesmen shouted eagerly, vying to express their gratitude.
"Of course, you must also thank yourselves! It is thanks to your unwavering determination and selfless sacrifices over these past two years that we have earned everything we have today!"
Maximus’ words made the tribesmen stand taller with pride.
"And we must especially thank those who also contributed but tragically fell along the way and couldn’t live to enjoy today’s accomplishments. Let us silently pray that their brave and kind souls may reach the Elysian Paradise safely!"
At that moment, the gathering of tens of thousands suddenly grew silent. Everyone raised their hands toward the heavens, bowed their heads solemnly in blessing, and some even had glimmers of tears in their eyes...
After a good while, Maximus broke the silence with his voice, "We also need to express our gratitude to the Finance Department subordinates led by Agricultural Officer Volenus and the engineering team led by Gaius, as well as the delightful young men trained by our Cultivation Department. It is their tireless efforts that, in less than a month, have measured and marked the boundaries of our entire tribal territory, allocating everyone’s rightful share of land... Everyone, this was no easy task! So let’s give them a thunderous round of applause for everything they’ve done for us!"
A deafening round of applause erupted.
