Because Maximus also had concerns in this regard, he did not make a clear statement, and the issue remained unresolved.
"Leader, Great Captain Pequot is back!" Akegu excitedly burst into the command tent.
"Oh, where is he?!"
"Right outside the camp, and he's brought a whole lot of people!"
Maximus rushed to the camp gate, where a sizable crowd had already gathered, blocking the passage in and out. He heard Fesaros's voice coming from ahead: "Pequot, you had us all worried sick! The leader ordered you to lead your men into the mountains to ambush the Pannonians' supply route. But after the Pannonian Army retreated, we searched for days without finding you. We thought that you and the soldiers you led had all been wiped out by the Pannonians! I…I almost erected a wooden memorial for you and conducted prayers for your soul!"
