"Enomai was right, these dock workers and sailors are good recruits. Moreover, Campania has several port towns, and there are far more workers and sailors than just these few hundred. If we don't let them join, other workers and sailors who want to join will hesitate as well..." Cross's eyes moved, and he said in a low voice, "We can agree to let them join first, and after they join, we can slowly figure out how to break them up and assign them to various battalions..."
"I think this approach is inappropriate." Hamilcar objected, "Since we've agreed, we should keep our promises. Otherwise, they will be dissatisfied, and if the soldiers aren't united, we'll face troubles when we fight."
"So you're saying you disagree with them joining?" Cross asked, discontentedly.
