Despite Maximus's hesitation on "whether to stay and defend" before the Roman Army's attack, once he decided to fight the Romans here, his commitment and vigor in battle were extraordinarily high. After listening to two veteran soldiers, he decisively gave the order: "Immediately inform Torrelugo, have the Second Legion advance! Uh...what about the Third Legion?"
Maximus's last sentence was directed at the two veteran soldiers because he realized that it was somewhat inappropriate for the formation of the Third Legion to remain in place after the Second Legion had advanced.
"Let Camillus lead the Third Legion forward, maintaining the same line with the Second Legion, but do not attack yet, to prevent the enemy from flanking," Quintus quickly added. He felt a bit ashamed, having been eager for the Second Legion to seize the opportunity, he had momentarily overlooked the Third Legion, and now this young leader who hadn't experienced a major battle spotted the issue.
