Maximus moistened his somewhat dry throat with spit and continued, "If we surround the village, the neighboring Segestica Village will definitely send troops for rescue upon getting the news. Will we be able to defeat them by ambushing them on the way?
If we continuously capture two or three Segestica people's villages, not only will we have a sufficient supply of food, but we will also weaken the strength of the larger Segestica Tribe. By the time they lead their troops to attack us, I wonder if they can still gather an army of over ten thousand people?
As long as we defeat the larger Segestica Tribe, then all the villages and farmlands east of Validosi and along the Kupa River will belong to us. Do we still need to build houses? Do slash-and-burn farming? …"
Maximus expressed the ideas he had pondered repeatedly after inspecting Validosi as questions, stirring the emotions of everyone present.
