"A quarter of the supplies from that village, enough for nearly 20,000 troops of the Segestica army for four to five days. How long can a team of over 700 people last on that?"

Gowes and the others exchanged glances and replied in unison, "We agree!"

Gowes seemed not to hear, while the others nodded towards Maximus.

"I’m not doing this entirely because of you. Any enemy of the Segestica people is someone we will try our best to unite against, rather than holding grudges over small interests," Maximus said modestly, then asked, "This time, the Segestica Great Leader suffered a crushing defeat. Will he come again soon?"
