Maximus looked at him, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and said casually, "You just said that Spartacus's side has nearly 100,000 people now. Food and supplies must be tight. I've already run into conflicts with Cleonis even from this distance. If I were any closer, wouldn't we be fighting every day?"
Okmar was momentarily speechless, then chuckled awkwardly twice. "You have a point."
The messenger's notification had already been received, so Fesaros led his subordinate officers early to stand outside the camp gate to welcome them.
Although Maximus's army recruited soldiers with strict standards, its growth rate was still fast. It now numbered 15,000 soldiers, and including non-combat personnel, the total exceeded 20,000.
