Maximus and the army behind him were like a massive mountain weighing heavily on Anrotas, making it difficult for him to breathe. In no time, he was covered in cold sweat.
After a long while, Maximus coldly shouted, "I give you one night to discuss. By dawn tomorrow, you must open the gates and surrender, or else we Nix will launch an attack and destroy this fort!"
The reason Maximus gave Anrotas one night to discuss was not out of mercy, but because the soldiers were already extremely exhausted, having no strength left to attack this fort again.

Maximus felt relieved that the camp they had built around Anrotas' fort had not been destroyed by the Segestica people due to the army's short departure. Thus, the soldiers who ended the battle only needed to settle into the existing camp, pitch tents, and rest. As for the night's patrol and guard duty, his subordinates would arrange it, and he did not need to worry much.
