Chapter 83 - 76 Arrangements for the Lukaiya People
Due to extreme exhaustion, Maximus slept for a long time until he was awakened by a soldier, who told him, "Leader, the Lukaiya people are outside seeking an audience."
"Quick, let them in!" Maximus said as he vigorously rubbed his cheeks to make himself more alert.
When Quintus and the others pushed the door open and came in, Maximus strode forward to greet them: "Quintus, Oluus, Scapula, have you avenged your grievances?"
"Apart from a few minions, none of the Pompey nobles who framed us escaped, we beheaded them all." Oluus said loudly, "We took their heads to pay homage to our deceased relatives outside Lukelia City before coming to see you."
"Great revenge has been avenged, this is wonderful news!" Maximus said with a smile: "Is there something you need to discuss with me?"
"We are here to fulfill our promise," Scapula said earnestly, "we once promised that as long as you help us capture Pompeii, allowing us to avenge ourselves, we would join your ranks!"
"Yes, I have heard Leader Spartacus mention this matter, they will come over later, and I will convey this to them," Maximus said calmly.
"No, we do not wish to join them, but rather your Supply Camp because you were the one who helped us get our revenge!" Oluus said with determination.
Maximus smiled again. In reality, he had anticipated their decision long ago, but he was waiting for them to express it first so that he could have the upper hand in future interactions. At this moment, he enthusiastically said, "This is excellent! On behalf of the Supply Camp, I warmly welcome you to join us! Come, let’s sit down and discuss the details."
After the three of them found wooden chairs to sit on, Maximus returned to the seat behind the long wooden table, the former seat of the Pompeii Governor.
"I wonder what arrangements Leader Maximus has for us and our families?" Quintus inquired.
Perhaps due to the fulfillment of his great revenge, his demeanor was no longer gloomy and instead appeared somewhat relaxed, making Maximus feel less oppressed facing him this time.
