"I'll go back and discuss this with Spartacus. I think we can make it happen," Hamilcar replied without hesitation, and then asked with concern: "Is this your only request? Food, weapons, horses, money—whatever you need, Spartacus and I will do our utmost to provide it."
"I don't have any other requests," Maximus shook his head. After hearing Hamilcar's words, the anger and resentment he had felt began to dissipate. After a brief hesitation, he spoke earnestly: "Even if we must part ways, I sincerely hope you can continue to achieve victory here, and that the aspirations of you and Spartacus can ultimately come to fruition. For that reason, I'd like to offer a few suggestions. I hope both of you will seriously consider them and adopt them as necessary!"
Hamilcar, moved by Maximus's serious demeanor, assumed a grave expression himself: "Go ahead."
