Maximus's calm analysis of the military situation did not surprise Quintus and the others, as he had mentioned it before and gained their agreement. Naturally, his words once again garnered everyone's attention.
Flanitnus said somewhat reluctantly, "Leader, if these poor people from the south want to join us and we always refuse to accept them, this might not be too good."
"It's not that we won't take any," Maximus had already considered. "Those with special talents and who can read and write, we certainly shouldn't miss. As for the others, we can recommend them to Attutmus or Spartacus, as they have no such restrictions and are eager to have as many join as possible."
"Understood, I will act according to your instructions," responded Flanitnus.
Maximus, recalling something, added, "Volenus, just like before, send your men to join the Military Affairs Department in recruiting soldiers, selecting useful ones to be allocated to other departments."
