Chapter 82 - 75 New Appointment_2
"Leader, I understand. I will take care of it as soon as I have the time."
"At that time, don’t forget to bring Capito along. Once the blacksmith joins us, he should be managed by him."
"Yes, Leader."
Maximus remembered something else and said, "By the way, Flanitnus, after the soldiers block the harbor, you can detain those merchants, but do not harm them. Volenus, when you send people to inventory the port’s goods, apart from confiscating the goods belonging to those wealthy Pompeians and Roman merchants, do not touch the goods of other merchants for the time being."
"Yes." The two replied simultaneously.
"Do you remember who you mentioned in our Supply Camp... who used to be a merchant?" Maximus looked at Volenus, trying hard to recall the name of the person, but his mind drew a blank.
"The director of the transport team, Pigeris. He used to make a living selling horses in Little Asia," Volenus reminded him.
"That’s right, Pigeris! How could I have forgotten him?" Maximus slapped his forehead again, recalling that when Volenus first mentioned it to him, he was surprised, saying, "I never thought that Pigeris, sturdy as he is, used to be a merchant."
In fact, Pigeris had an outgoing personality, an active mind, and was willing to take risks, which suited his past identity. Although he was doing quite well as the transport team director, the role itself did not require too much competence; as long as he managed his people well and fed the horses properly, he didn’t even need to maintain the wagons (the Supply Camp’s construction team had carpenters responsible for inspection and repairs). He just needed to wait in the camp for notifications from different brigades, then lead the transport team to looting sites and transport supplies back to the camp. Since there were no enemies in the surrounding areas, it was safe and stress-free.
