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!"
