Rome Must Perish

"These Lukaiya people are willing to assist us in attacking Pompeii, asking only to kill a few nobles in Pompeii, especially Vidius, whom they claim is the main culprit for seizing their lands..." Spartacus said, "As long as we agree to do so, these Lukaiya people are willing to join our ranks and fully help us fight against the Roman Army."

"How many of these Lukaiya people want to join us?" Cross asked.

"Over fifty people."

"Over fifty people?!" Cross laughed heartily, "Every day now more than five hundred people are coming to ally with us. Do we really lack these fifty people!"

"Among these more than fifty people, most were previously team officers in the Roman Army. Leading them is a Chief Centurion of the legion, who told us that there are many comrades in Italy in a similar situation to his, and he is willing to mobilize them to join our ranks..." Hamilcar emphasized.

Another Centurion, and a Chief one at that... Maximus’s expression subtly changed.

"A few days ago, we just annihilated a Roman legion. Have we killed few of their officers? We have enough people wanting to join our ranks who harbor hatred against Rome. These Roman soldiers, who have been commanded by the Roman Elder to seize foreign lands and slaughter foreign people, are not worth recruiting!" Cross said excitedly.

"Although our troops now exceed ten thousand men, due to the influx of people these days, the ranks are somewhat chaotic and lack training, unsuitable for field combat." Antonix said cautiously, "Moreover, our troops have no experience in siege warfare, and lack siege equipment. Because of our presence, surrounding towns have strengthened their defenses. Although Pompeii is not large, the city walls are four or five meters high. If we lead the army to attack, casualties will be significant, and if we cannot capture it, it will not only affect morale but also damage our prestige..."

"I’m interested in attacking a city, but I don’t want to do it because the Romans want us to," Enomai said bluntly.
