Not being able to get rid of it is one of the sources of distress in life, especially in love.

- Seneca (famous Stoic philosopher of ancient Roman times)

Ahmet's move not only made him tremble, but also made the hearts of the eight thousand Numidian soldiers present feel sad; In their eyes, General Ahmet has always been the unshakable powerhouse of the Numidian Kingdom. Even General Salah, who followed Prince Adheba, could not be compared to Ahmad in the Numidic army.

In a sense, the reason why Tulguta was able to gain the support of almost the entire Numidian military at that time was because of the absolute support of the official Ahmad; Ahmet is even the last backer of the military of the Kingdom of Numidia! Now, this mountain-like superstar has finally fallen; He fell not by the sword of the enemy, but for the survival of his own people.

No matter what Ahmad's heart tasted like, and whatever the Numidian soldiers who were present felt in their hearts; The war ended eventually. When these 8,000 Numidian soldiers were escorted to the barracks by the Carthaginian army, the war was officially over; As for the four thousand long-shield cavalry who have not been fighting in the barracks, they are Ahmed's descendants, so naturally there will be no trouble.

Except for the 10,000 soldiers of the Holy Order who were in the camp to watch over the 12,000 prisoners of Numidia and the less than 15,000 rebels and 2,000 Carthaginian siege soldiers to be treated in the barracks, all the other Carthaginian troops were ordered by Hannibal to clean the walls and traces of the fighting in the city; Not only 9,000 infantrymen, but 20,000 cavalry were ordered to dismount and work.

The wreckage of war always needs someone to clean it up. It was only natural for the victorious Carthaginian army to clean up the mess of Leptis the Great; Moreover. It was supposed to be a tragic and protracted siege battle. was inexplicably beaten into the current situation, and it would be good if Hannibal and other generals were not secretly happy in their hearts.

The whole of the Great Leptis was being cleaned up in an orderly manner, and order was well established in the city; The so-called Ten Resistance was easily disbanded, and the 15,000 rebels who survived with great difficulty were also disbanded on the spot after Hannibal's order to recuperate.

Of course, Hannibal was not the one who crossed the river and demolished the bridge; Along with disbanding them, Hannibal also gave a severance pay of ten gold coins to each surviving rebel soldier. As for those rebel soldiers who have experienced the war, their families are no longer there, and they are unwilling to return to their old lives; Hannibal put them together. Formed as the garrison of the Tripoli region.

All the Carthaginian generals and soldiers who entered the city of Great Leptis were busy non-stop, and the nobles and wealthy merchants of the former Tripoli Kingdom also stood up to assist the Carthaginian army in various affairs. According to Hannibal's idea, after the battle, the Tripoli region would restore the Tripoli kingdom; Their king will still be the same king who still takes refuge in the city of Carthage.

This is not to say that Hannibal is unwilling to annex the Tripoli region, but today's events have impressed Hannibal too deeply; Geographically, Tripoli is the backyard of the Carthaginian kingdom and the only way to enter Carthage from southern North Africa.

However, the people of Tripoli are really not good citizens! Today's fighting would have been fought without the rebellion in the city of Veliky Leptis. Even if Jugurdah had successfully launched an assault on the defenders on the walls, the Numidian army would not have been able to lose it in just two hours. Lose control of the Grand Leptis.

Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and those who lose the hearts of the people lose the world; Hannibal was naturally reluctant to undermine the position of the Carthaginian kingdom in the hearts of the common people of Tripoli. Since the annexation of the Tripoli region is extremely risky, it is better to support an obedient puppet king in the Kingdom of Tripoli; At the very least, the control of the Kingdom of Carthage over Tripoli will be guaranteed!

Unfortunately, things are always impermanent; For Hannibal, this sentence may not be true. If today's siege was a surprise for Hannibal, then soon Hannibal will have his second surprise of the day; Moreover, this surprise is even more significant for the Kingdom of Carthage!

After the war between Numidia and Carthage, the people of Tripoli finally understood a truth: the so-called Kingdom of Tripoli has never been a country of song and dance; The so-called peaceful and prosperous times are nothing but the charity of the strong. Once a new strong man appears, the weak kingdom of Tripoli will be reduced to a lamb to the slaughter under the iron hooves of other countries!

The only way to change this situation is to completely change the power of the Kingdom of Tripoli; However, how difficult is it for the Kingdom of Tripoli to change itself? Not to mention whether the Kingdom of Tripoli can have a way to increase its national strength, even the re-powerful Kingdom of Carthage will not allow a strong Kingdom of Tripoli to appear.

Therefore, the nobles and wealthy merchants in the city of Great-Leptis and the leaders of the former rebel groups gathered together to discuss the way out of the Tripoli region; As for His Majesty the King, who was still taking refuge in the city of Carthage, it had long been completely forgotten by the Tripolis. After an afternoon of heated discussions, the final solution was to annex Tripoli to the Carthaginian kingdom!

The strength of the Kingdom of Numidia was obvious to all, but the strength of the Kingdom of Carthage in times of crisis was simply terrifying; The Numidian army, which had already occupied almost the entire province of Baissasien, was forcefully expelled by the reorganized Carthaginian army, and even the capital and capital province of the Numidian kingdom were occupied by the Carthaginians by force.

Coupled with the end of this battle, everyone present knew that the powerful rise of the kingdom of Numidia had completely declined; Once again, the Kingdom of Carthage became the supreme overlord of North Africa. Since it is impossible for the Kingdom of Carthage to allow the emergence of the mighty Kingdom of Tripoli, it is better to let the Kingdom of Tripoli become the next province of the Kingdom of Carthage, than to be bullied.

But. After all, the people involved in this discussion are only representatives of all parties; If you want to really implement such a big thing. At the very least, it must be agreed by the vast majority of the people in the city of Great Leptis. So. After finalizing the plan; The delegates present began to leave separately and ran for the implementation of this matter.

By nightfall, the whole of the Great Leptis had been cleaned up almost in progress; At least the corpses and traces of the fighting have been cleaned of the walls. As for the ruins of the fires and the destruction caused by the fighting, it was not only a matter for the Carthaginian soldiers; More often than not, the people of the city of Velekleptis were cleaning up on their own, and the Carthaginian army was only responsible for maintaining order.

The report of the day was also completed and delivered to Hannibal before dinner; According to the collation of Vimina and the generals: in today's battle, the Carthaginian army suffered more than 5,900 casualties and 2,000 minor and serious wounded. The 25,000 cavalry did not lose a single soldier, and the infantry had 14,000 men left, including 5,000 Holy Order infantry.

The army of Zhuguda was basically lost, and the army of Zhuguda, of 4,000 cavalry, was now less than 500 men, only 450 to be exact; Moreover, these 450 people are still injured, and it is estimated that there will definitely be no more than 200 people who can survive in the end. The most tragic thing was the generals in his legions, all the generals above the centurion were killed, leaving only Zhu Guda, the commander of the light pole.

Then there is the rebel army in the city, because the size of the rebel army is difficult to count. Casualties are also not easy to sort out; The main reason for this result is that the weapons and equipment used by the vast majority of them are Numidian weapons, which is not easy to distinguish. So. In the end, Vimina and the others only counted the number of people who were willing to continue to stay in the army, a total of 3,500 people!

Finally, of course, there is the intelligence of the Numidian army, according to Ahmet's explanation; The entire Numidian army had a total of 36,000 troops before the war. Among them, 20,000 were infantry and 16,000 were cavalry; After the battle, more than 12,000 of the 20,000 infantry were killed, and about 7,500 remained, while the cavalry remained intact 4,000 shield cavalry and 1,000 javelin cavalry scattered back to the camp.

The 25,000 Tripoli youths who were originally part of the battle sequence of the Numidian army were rejected by Ahmet on the grounds that all of them defected to the rebel army during the battle; Not only did it not become the help of the Numidian army, but it became the main force to attack the Numidian army in the later stage!

The outcome of such a war was bitter for both the freed Kingdom of Tripoli and the Kingdom of Numidia, which had been empty; Perhaps, the only victor in this war was the Kingdom of Carthage. Although the Kingdom of Carthage lost ground in the early stages of the war, the victory in the later war directly changed the situation in North Africa.

The already declining Kingdom of Carthage re-emerged as the overlord of North Africa with this campaign, and it was reborn; From now on, North Africa will become a hall of the Carthaginian kingdom. The Kingdom of Numidia, the only one in North Africa that could compete with the Kingdom of Carthage, has since disappeared!

The outcome of the war once and for all made Hannibal and Vermynar and other generals inevitably excited, and tonight naturally became a night of victory and revelry for the Carthaginian army; After half an hour of drinking with the soldiers in the barracks, Hannibal and the others quietly left the barracks and returned to the palace of the Great Leptis, which was already Hannibal's high command.

Hannibal was accompanied by not only the seven generals including Vermi, but also Juguda, who had made great achievements, and Ahmet, who had recently descended today; The reason why Hannibal summoned all these men to the palace was to set the pattern of post-war North Africa tonight. As for the Senate of Carthage, did Hannibal ever take them seriously?

However, after returning to the vicinity of the palace, something happened that made all the Carthaginian generals happy; Countless people of Great Leptis gathered in front of the palace to demand an audience with General Hannibal, and to beg General Hannibal to allow the kingdom of Tripoli to be incorporated into the Kingdom of Carthage, such a thing was the greatest glory for the Carthaginian generals!

What is the greatest glory of a general, it is nothing more than to open up territory for one's motherland; If Tripoli can be included in the rule of the Carthaginian kingdom at the end of this campaign, then all the Carthaginian generals who participated in this campaign will become the heroic generals who expanded the territory in the history of the Carthaginian kingdom, and isn't it worth the excitement of all the generals?

Although Hannibal did not have the joy of Himika and others, he could not hide the joy in his heart; Originally, Hannibal had already given up the idea of incorporating Tripoli into the Kingdom of Carthage, but he didn't expect it to turn around here. Immediately, Hannibal led his generals to the highest point in front of the palace and showed himself to all the people of the Great Leptis in front of the palace.

Later, Hannibal not only promised to annex Tripoli to Carthage, but also promised to station an elite Carthaginian legion in the city of Great Leptis in the future to protect the province of Tripoli and the Great Leptis. And all the nobles, titles, and officials of the former Tripoli Kingdom will be recognized by the Kingdom of Carthage and will continue to serve in the province of Tripoli!

Hannibal's two promises directly pushed the atmosphere of the scene to a climax, and some people who were still skeptical also completely let go of their doubts; And the nobles and officials of the former Kingdom of Tripoli were even more grateful to Hannibal. As for the ordinary people, they are simply happy that they will not be bullied in the future.
