Chapter 89 - 79: Restructuring the Supply Camp
"That’s right! That’s right!" Antonix and Attutmus responded sincerely.
Enomai hadn’t paid much attention to the affairs of the Supply Camp in the past, but thinking carefully now, it indeed seemed to be the case.
Cross listened to Spartacus and suddenly realized: the people in the Supply Camp seem to be very convinced by this Maximus, frequently saying things like ’Leader Maximus said.’ Now that Maximus has the right to form his own team, his former subordinates might voluntarily leave the Supply Camp to join his team. By that time, even if the Supply Camp is well-stocked with supplies, it would be useless if there was a lack of good personnel to cook for the soldiers or tend to the wounded!...
The more he thought about it, the more alarmed he became. Yet, he was reluctant to let Maximus both lead the army and manage the Supply Camp. While he was in a dilemma, Spartacus continued: "However, in the future, the forces you lead will become larger and larger. For the convenience of gathering food, or for independent operations, they may be scattered in various places. At that time, the Supply Camp might not be able to provide logistical support promptly. So while everyone is gathered in Pompeii, you should start building your own Supply Camps and consult Leader Maximus on managing a Supply Camp. I believe Leader Maximus will be willing to offer assistance.
Of course, the Supply Camp under Maximus’s management will always be the main Supply Camp for our entire group. When other teams seek help from the Supply Camp, Maximus should provide support."
"I agree." This time Cross agreed without hesitation, and the other leaders quickly followed suit, as Spartacus’s proposal gave them greater autonomy in developing their own teams.
The reason Spartacus did this was mainly to prepare for the future march south. Even though his proposal received approval from the vast majority of leaders, he didn’t want the young leader he had high hopes for to feel discontent, so he kept his eyes on Maximus.
"I agree as well." Maximus also spoke sincerely because if each team’s Supply Camp was well-managed, his own Supply Camp could focus on its development, which was also beneficial for each team to strengthen their forces and break through Roman Army’s encirclement, escaping Italy smoothly.
