- Aesop (Greek fabler, Phrygian)

After receiving the two bad news in succession, Adheba sat alone in the palace all night without sleeping; Early the next morning, Adheba led his guards to the Spartak camp, and even if he could not get the support of the Augustan Empire, Adheba would let the cavalry legions of the Combined Legion and the Desert Legion join the next battle.

Until the 50,000 troops of the Salah Legion and the 20,000 troops of the Guards Legion were not completely annihilated, Adheba could not care about the 20,000 troops of the Cavalry Legion and the Desert Legion; Now that the 70,000 army has been completely wiped out, Adheba will need 20,000 troops to join the war if he wants to resist the full-scale attack of the Carthaginian kingdom.

After the last battle, Ahmet's army was only 45,000 men, while the army of Vermyna, the kingdom of Carthage, was 56,000; This is only the force in the hands of Vimyna that can be used for direct battle, if the army stationed in the city of Carthage and the legions of Baisasion are all engaged in the battle, then the army of the Kingdom of Carthage will be as high as 100,000!

If it was just a difference in numbers, it would not make Adheba feel anxious, after all, the decisive battle between the Augustan Empire and Hannibal speaks for itself; The crux of the matter is that the army of the Kingdom of Carthage is also qualitatively stronger than that of the Kingdom of Numidia, which is what Adheba is most worried about.

The most elite army of the Kingdom of Carthage was definitely not the army of Baisassion, but the Legion of the Holy Order under the command of Vimyna; This is also a fact recognized by the entire North African continent, and there is no doubt that Vimina himself is now the most capable general of the Carthaginian kingdom.

With the most elite army and the best generals of the Kingdom of Carthage in its north, the army of the Kingdom of Carthage in the south annihilated the 70,000 elite divisions of the Kingdom of Numidia with 80,000 troops, at the cost of nearly 50,000 casualties; This seems to prove that the army of the Kingdom of Numidia was weaker than the army of the Kingdom of Carthage in terms of overall combat effectiveness.

No one would ever tell Adheba that the army in the south of the Kingdom of Carthage was simply the army that the Augustan Empire had trained for the Hanno family; In other words, the armies of the southern kingdom of Carthage are superior to the northern armies in terms of average combat effectiveness, but the Legion of the Holy Order in Sakarb is an extremely special existence, and their numbers have proven their specialness.

Adheba, who did not know this, did not embarrass Adheba after coming to Spartak's military tent, and Spartak did not mean to send troops; The cavalry legion and the desert legion belonging to the combined legion, Spartak were all handed over to Adheba.

As for Adheba's proposed Legion, Spartak simply smiled and shook his head and refused; Spartak did not say why he refused, and Adheba wisely did not ask, because it did not make any sense to ask.

Before coming to the Combined Legion barracks, Adheba had already decided to take the Cavalry Legion and the Desert Legion with him at all costs; After all, these two legions belonged to the armies of the Numidian Kingdom, and Spartak only had the right to command.

For the most elite Chengguan Legion in the Combined Legion, if Adheba does not have ideas about this legion, it is estimated that Adheba himself does not believe it; But what if you have an idea? The Chengguan Legion was a legion of the Augustan Empire, and there were two other legions of the Augustan Empire near the barracks of the Combined Legion; Does the current kingdom of Numidia have the capital to offend the Augustan Empire?

Before, Adheba was reluctant to offend the Augustan Empire, not because he was afraid of the three hoplite legions that the Augustan Empire was stationed on his own soil, but because he was worried about the strong strength of the Augustan Empire; Now it's different, the Kingdom of Numidia not only has no capital to offend the Augustan Empire, but even the capital to offend the three Augustan Empire legions in front of it.

The two decisive battles fought between the Hanno family and the kingdom of Numidia kept not only Adheba and Vimini busy, but also the Augustan Empire; After receiving the news that the Kingdom of Numidia and the Kingdom of Carthage were both defeated, Oscar knew that the Armageda between the Kingdom of Numidia and the Kingdom of Carthage in the northern region was about to begin, and the intervention of the Augustan Empire must also start immediately!

The commander of the Egyptian fleet, which had followed Cleopatra to Sicily, was temporarily placed under the command of the Augustan Empire under Cleopatra's own orders, for a period of one year as Oscar had agreed with Cleopatra.

After gaining the command of this powerful fleet, Oscar did not assemble the Augustan Empire's fleet with its own tasks, but directly appointed Nams as the commander of this fleet, responsible for the next Augustan Empire's intervention in North Africa.

The things in terms of the fleet are only small things, and with the naval strength of the Kingdom of Numidia and the Kingdom of Carthage, it is simply not enough to pose a threat to the naval fleet of the Augustan Empire, and it is not even qualified to block the attack of the Augustan Empire's fleet; The real priority was the reinforcement of the army of the Augustan Empire to the North African continent.

The two legions under Quintus plus one legion under Spartacus had only 27,000 soldiers (the Chengguan Legion had no auxiliary legions); No matter how defeated the Kingdom of Numidia and the Kingdom of Spartacus were, it was not something that a mere 27,000 Augustan Empire troops could deal with!

If there were not enough armies to threaten militarily, the Hannos controlled by Tahiti would not necessarily submit willingly to the Augustan Empire, let alone the kingdoms of Numidian and Carthage; Therefore, now is the time for the Augustan Empire to massively increase its troops on the North African continent, and this time is also the best time for the Augustan Empire to settle the affairs of the North African continent once and for all.

The seven legions that had already been assembled on Sicily were all ready to go to North Africa, but the Augustan Empire did not need to send so many troops to the North African continent at one time; On the premise that there were already three legions on the North African continent, the first increase in troop size was set at four legions, namely the First Army, the Ninth Army, the Seventh Army, and the Hannibal Army.

The reason why Oscar sent Hannibal's legion this time was so that when he marched into the kingdom of Carthage, Hannibal's legion could play a greater role; Oscar hoped that the commander of Hannibal's legion, Mahabal, and the lieutenant general of the legion, Theophanes, would not break their promise six years ago to conquer the kingdom of Carthage for the sake of the Augustan Empire!

In addition to being busy sending troops to reinforce the North African continent, Oscar did not forget to ask Marcus to recruit a new Twelfth Legion on the spot on the Iberian Peninsula; In the near future, the area of the Augustan Empire will be further expanded, and the attack on the Kingdom of Egypt will also require a large number of troops, and the Augustan Empire will need to form some new legions.

The Twelfth Legion, which was recruited by Marcus's government system, would be led by General Unai and General Anten, who were now serving as military instructors at the Augustus Military Academy, as the commander and lieutenant general of the regiment respectively. These two generals, who originally belonged to the Kingdom of Spain, have been teaching at the Augustan Military Academy for five years, and their performance has been recognized by the Oscars, so it is natural that they can be reused.

As for the question of the ownership of the Twelfth Army after its formation, Oscar asked Luquis, who was the commander of the garrison in the Iberian Peninsula of the Augustan Empire, to take over the command of the Twelfth Army; Since the last transfer of two legions from the Iberian Peninsula, Luquis's army has been reduced to three, and this newly formed legion is specifically designed to supplement Luquis's army.

The four legions of the Augustan Empire had just boarded the transport, and Armageddon on the North African continent had officially begun; Vimyna's army of 56,000 launched a fierce attack on Ahmet's army of 45,000, and even the most elite Legions of the Holy Order under the command of Sakar were thrown into battle by Vimina to attack Ahmet's army.

Ahmet's army, which suffered heavy casualties, was defeated and retreated under the attack of the Vimini army, and 20,000 soldiers were wiped out without even a chance to counterattack; And the price paid by Victoria for this was only the price of 13,000 casualties; Just as Vimini was preparing to wipe out Ahmet's army in one fell swoop, the cavalry legions and desert legions that Adheba had brought together finally arrived on the battlefield.

The cavalry legion of the Combined Legion and the Desert Legion have long been extraordinary in combat effectiveness under the careful training of Spartacus; Their timely entry into the battle not only stabilized the formation of the Ahmet Legion, but also inflicted extremely heavy casualties on Vermina's army, and even the soldiers of the Holy Order of Sakab could not take advantage of the coordinated attack of the Cavalry Legion and the Desert Legion.

The fierce battle became the only main theme on the battlefield, whether it was the Carthaginian army under Vimyna, or the army of the Numidian Kingdom, all under the command of Ahmet, they were fighting to the death in the war for the supremacy of North Africa.

In just half a month, the army under the command of Victoria Secret has been sharply reduced from the initial 56,000 to about 20,000, and the army under the command of Ahmed is less than 25,000 even if the reinforced cavalry legion and the desert legion are added; Vimyna fought to the death, and even the 10,000 infantry he himself left behind in the city of Carthage were transferred to the battlefield.

When the four legions of the Augustan Empire landed at the port of Carthage, Viminia was preparing for the final battle of annihilation against Ahmet's army; At this time, Vimyna's command had once again gathered an army of 30,000 men, of which the most elite Legion of the Holy Order still had 3,000 soldiers, while Ahmet's army had only 25,000 soldiers and 4,000 wounded.
