At this moment, the guard outside the gate shouted: "The leaders of Numibia are here!"
Afterwards, dozens of Numibians, dressed in shabby clothes, walked into the compound nervously.
Only then did the generals know why so many tables were set up.
Davers stood up and said loudly with a smile: "Welcome, new friends of the Kingdom of Dionia! Please sit down!"
As soon as Daves finished speaking, Henipolis next to him immediately translated it loudly. He didn’t speak Numibian, he spoke Carthage. Over the years, he assisted King Daves to study For information about Carthage, I began to learn the language of Carthage by myself, and now I have spoken fluently. The Numibians have long been under the rule of Carthage, and most of the leaders can speak Carthage.
Henipolis finished the translation, Daves immediately began to applaud, and the generals under his leadership also applauded one after another.
The Numibian leaders felt the kindness given by the Dionians, and felt a little relieved, and they took their seats under the guidance of the soldiers.
After seeing everyone sitting down, Davers picked up a glass of wine and said loudly, "Today is a day worth celebrating! Under the excellent command of our generals, our soldiers fought bravely. Under the cooperation of our new friends in Numibia, we completely defeated the Carthage army! From then on, we will no longer defend, but attack! Attack again! So for this glorious victory, We made this cup!"
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
……
All the generals got excited and raised their wine glasses. Even Matonis and Olivers were knocking on the table with their hands, making loud noises.
After listening to Hernipolis’ translation, the leaders of Numibia also raised their glasses.
Everyone drank it.
Daves immediately filled another glass, and then said: "This second glass of wine, we want to toast the new friends of Numibia. In the past, Dionia and Numibia were so far apart that they were both It’s very strange. Before this war, our two sides had fought with each other many times. Of course, you were intimidated by the Carthaginians and had to do so. But there is an old oriental saying that you’re forced to You and me who were involved in this war finally came together. In the absence of cooperation in the past, you trusted us unconditionally, took great risks, and successfully implemented the plan in today’s battle, making us Victory is easier and fewer casualties! On behalf of all the soldiers of Dionia, thank you!
And in the name of Hades, I assure you that the promise that I have promised before will not change! Dionia wants to be a long-term ally with Numibia, for this we have done this cup together! "
After listening to these words, the Numibian leaders finally relaxed, holding their wine glasses in excitement, stood up, and said with a trembling voice: "Okay!...Okay!..." Drink it in a big mouthful.
Davos then took another glass of wine and said seriously: "Although we won a big victory this time, Carthage is still a powerful city-state, whether it is our Dionia or your Numi Biyas should not relax their vigilance, but should continue to strengthen cooperation, continue to launch attacks, and completely defeat the Carthaginians. Only then can the safety of Dionian be guaranteed and the freedom of the Numibians will no longer be taken away. ! For this, we made this cup!"
Everyone in the meeting raised their glasses and drank them all in one go.
Davers couldn’t help but burp, wiped the froth from his mouth, looked around the crowd, and said with a smile: “Today is a great day. I originally wanted to toast everyone a few more drinks, but I I am afraid that you will criticize me and say, “I’ve been fighting for a day and my stomach is so hungry, how can I manage my fullness just by drinking”. So next you open up to eat. Due to time constraints and limited conditions, the dishes are not very rich, but there are Carthage does the transportation of military rations for us, and we will not limit it tonight!"
The generals understood the ridicule in Daves' words and laughed.
Henipolis was worried that the Numibians would not understand when translating, and he also added his own explanation to make the Numibians laugh heartily.
In order to relax the mood of the Numibians, Davister told Hernipolis in advance: Don't mix water when preparing wine.
So Turiyi wine is very sweet and delicious in your mouth, but when you drink it with three glasses of wine on an empty stomach, many people are already a little drunk, and the tensions and tensions before are gradually thrown into their minds, and they are indeed hungry. Now, one by one grabbed the food on the table, eating and drinking.
There was a sound of chewing in the yard, and the atmosphere began to warm up.
Although Daves is a bit hungry, he has been over 40 years old and has paid more and more attention to maintaining his body in recent years, and has been chewing slowly.
After a while, a Numibian stood up, drunk boldly, and said loudly in Carthage: "Honor... Honorable King Dionian, we believe in your promise to us , So that we Numibians can regain independence! But... But we have completely betrayed the Carthaginians, they must hate us very much, and the greedy Carthaginians have always coveted our land. Even though we chose to retreat because of our defeat this time, our Namibian tribes are still very weak compared to Carthage. When Carthage recovers from the defeat, they will definitely retaliate against us. At that time, what can Dionia do for us?"
His words resonated with some Numibian leaders, and they all responded.
After listening to Hernipolis’ translation, Daves did not immediately answer, but instead asked, "Are you from East Numibia or Sinumibia?"
"I come from the Salmu tribe of East Numibia. I am the leader's son Krieg."
Daves nodded. This time he asked Hernipolis and Tolmeid to invite the Numibians to participate in the banquet, either the tribal chiefs of West Numibia or the East Numibia. An influential figure in the tribe.
Daves knew very well: Compared with the Sinumibians, Carthage had more control over East Numibia and the oppression was deeper, which also made the East Numibia very afraid of Carthage. When he sent spies to the Carthage camp and attempted to unite the Numibians, the Sinumibians were more active. Today, they were the first to launch a rebellion, and the number of East Numibians was even greater. Many, but not too many responses. Of course, it was also related to their different organization in the Carthage army. In the end, I saw that the main force of the Carthage army—the Iberian army was completely defeated, Dionia The Legionnaires rushed to launch a rebellion only when they were in front of them. It was more like a helpless move to save themselves.
Davers understands this well, and he said with a gentle expression: "Through this cooperation, we believe that we already know the sincerity of each other, and we have a common enemy, so why don't we treat this The cooperation continues, so that Dionia and Numibia will become a long-term alliance?! Whether it is one year or five years later, as long as other forces dare to attack one of us, the other will take the initiative. Declare war on that force, and both sides work together to defeat the enemy. What do you think?"
"Build a long-term alliance?!" Krieger thought for a while, and smiled relieved: "This is a good suggestion! In this way, we have nothing to worry about!"
"It's good to be a long-term alliance! I agree!"
"Agree!"
"When will we form an alliance?!"
……
Many Numibians excitedly agreed.
At this time, another East Numibian stood up and asked: "Dear King Dionian, we East Numibian live in the inland of Africa, and the coast is covered by Carthage and it. The Phoenician allies control, and you Dionia is far away in Italy and Sicily. Once the Carthaginian army invades our territory, we will not be able to tell you the news in time, and wait until you know it. , I’m afraid that many tribes have been captured and destroyed by Carthage, so becoming an alliance seems to be of little use."
The excitement on the faces of the Numibians is fading quickly, especially the East Numibians. The words of this compatriot made them suddenly realize that becoming an alliance with Dionia does not seem to relieve them. The danger faced.
Daves laughed and said loudly: "Don't worry, Dionia is not going to stop here after destroying the Carthage army on Sicily. We are also going to log in to Africa and attack Carthage. Of the Phoenician allies, and finally launched an attack on the city of Carthage.
Only by completely defeating Carthage, this greedy city-state will sign an agreement to agree to return your land and release your compatriots who have been enslaved by them.
At the same time, we in Dionia will also build several towns on the coast of Africa, so that we can monitor the Carthaginians nearby, strengthen our contact with you, and at the same time make fairs with you Trade, improve your life..."
Speaking of this, Daves noticed that these Numibians were looking at him with piercing eyes, and there was a look of excitement on their faces again.
The surrounding Dionia generals were all surprised. After all, Daves's plan had been partially informed to Herripolis, but had not been disclosed to others. However, people like Amintas, Matonis and others also have bright eyes, because it means that even if the war in Sicily ends, the war will continue, and they have more opportunities to make merit.
Daves said immediately: "Of course, our Dionian army is completely unfamiliar with Africa, and we need the full assistance of your Numibia, work together, and finally force the Carthaginians to surrender!"
