Maximus anticipated this question and calmly said, "I've already mentioned that the Nix Tribe doesn't force you, but you must consider your future situation carefully.
You're all from those two villages to the east, and the men from those villages have either died in battle or been captured. If your husbands are still alive, they're likely suffering as slaves in the Alde Tribe. If you're willing and can persuade your husbands to join the Nix Tribe as Reserve Tribe Members, the tribe will not only keep you together, but also provide separate accommodation for you and your husband. In three years, once your husband becomes an Official Tribe Member, he will have his own house and land…
Otherwise, considering the Aldeans' hatred for Segestica, it'll be fortunate if your husbands are still alive in half a year; by then, as widows, you can reconsider marrying a tribesman from our tribe."
Hearing Maximus's words, many women from Segestica turned pale.
