Even Torrelugo shouted, "This dragon is great! If our soldiers carry it, they can scare the enemy half to death without even fighting!"
"Alright, it's decided then. From now on, we are the Nix Tribe, and our banner is the dragon!" Maximus declared emphatically.
The reason for using the dragon as a banner was not just because of the influence of his cultural genes, but it also held a deeper meaning: he and his followers were outsiders who really needed to integrate into the local area to avoid rejection. However, integration also meant the possibility of being overwhelmed by the ways of the Barbarians, eventually becoming like them. Therefore, he needed to remind his followers of their "uniqueness" to become leaders of a new culture, with the dragon being just the beginning.
Tonight's meeting set a good precedent, giving him more confidence to control the entire meeting process.
