At this time, the guards outside the gate shouted loudly: "The leaders of Numibia are here!"

Then dozens of Numibians who were dressed in poor clothes and even had no dust to wash into the courtyard.

Only then did the generals know why so many dining tables were arranged.

Davers stood up and said loudly with a smile: "Welcome to you, new friends from the Kingdom of Dionia! Please sit down!"

As soon as Davers finished speaking, Heniporis next to him immediately translated loudly. He did not speak Numibian, he spoke Carthage. Over the years, he helped King Davers study information about Carthage and began to learn Carthage himself. He now speaks fluently. Under the rule of Carthage for a long time, most of the leaders of the Numibians would speak Carthage.

After Henipolis finished translating, Davers immediately began to applaud, and the generals also applauded one after another under his leadership.

The Numibian leaders felt the kindness given by the Dionians, and felt a little relaxed, and each sat down under the guidance of the soldiers.

After seeing everyone sitting down, Davers picked up a glass of wine and said loudly: "Today is a very celebrated day! Under the outstanding command of our generals, under the heroic battle of our soldiers, and under the cooperation of our new Numibian friends, we completely defeated the Carthage army! From then on, we will no longer defend, but attack! Attack again! So for this brilliant victory, we have done this cup!"

"cheers!"

"cheers!"

...

All the generals were excited and raised their wine glasses, even like Martonis, and Olivers knocked on the table with his hands and clamored loudly.

After listening to Heniporis' translation, the Numibian leaders also raised their wine glasses one after another.

Everyone drank it all in one go.

Davers immediately filled another cup and continued, "We want to toast the new friends of Numibia for this second glass of wine. In the past, Dionia and Numibia were very strange to each other because they were far apart. Before this war, we both fought against each other many times. Of course, you were forced to do this by the Carthaginians. But there is an old saying in the East that "no fight, no one knows each other." You and I were forced to get involved in this war and finally got together. In the past, you trusted us unconditionally and took great risks. In today's battle, we successfully implemented the plan, making our victory easier and less casualties! On behalf of all the soldiers of Dionia, I thank you!

And I promise you in the name of Hades that the promise you promised before will not change! Dionia is going to be a long-term ally with Numibia, and we have this cup together for this!"

After hearing this, the Numibian leaders finally felt relieved. They all stood up excitedly with their wine glasses and said in a trembling voice: "Okay!...Okay!..." while drinking in big mouthfuls.

Davers then picked up 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 Dionysia or you Numibia, we should not relax our vigilance. Instead, we should continue to strengthen cooperation, continue to launch attacks, and completely defeat the Carthaginians. Only by ensuring the safety of Dionys and not taking away the freedom of the Numibians! For this reason, we have done this cup!"

Everyone at the meeting raised their glasses and drank them all in one go.

Davers couldn't help but burp, wiped the foam from his mouth, looked around everyone, and said with a smile: "Today is a happy day. I originally wanted to toast you a few more glasses of wine, but I was afraid that you would criticize me and say, 'I have been fighting for a day, my stomach is so hungry, how can I just drink wine to fill up'. So you eat openly next time. Due to the hasty time, limited conditions, and the dishes are not very rich, but Carthage is used to transport military rations for us, and we will not limit the amount tonight!"

The generals understood the jokes in Davers' words and laughed.

When translating, Heniporis was worried that the Numibians would not understand, so he added his own explanation, which made the Numibians laugh.

In order to relax the Numibians, Daphste told Heniporis in advance: Do not mix water when preparing wine.

So Tuliyi wine was very sweet and delicious when she drank it on an empty stomach, but after drinking three large glasses of wine on an empty stomach, many people were already a little drunk. The previous restraint and nervousness gradually came to the back of their heads. In addition, they were indeed hungry, and they grabbed the food on the table and ate and drank in big mouthfuls.

There was a chewing sound in the yard and the atmosphere began to become warm.

Although Davers is a little hungry, he is over 40 years old and pays more and more attention to taking care of his body in recent years and has been chewing slowly.

After a while, a Numibian stood up and said loudly in Carthage with the will of alcohol, "Honored King of Dionys, we believe that your commitment to us will allow us Numibians to 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 if we chose to give in this time because of defeat in the war, the tribes of Numibia are still very weak compared to Carthaginians. When Carthagin recovers from defeat, they will definitely revenge us twice. What can Dionys do for us at that time?"

His words resonated with some Numibian leaders, and they responded one after another.

After hearing Heniporis' translation, Davers did not answer immediately, but asked back: "Are you from East Numibia or from West Numibia?"

"I am from the Salmu tribe in East Numibia, and I am the son of the leader Krieg."

Davers nodded. This time he asked Heniporis and Tolmeed to invite the Numibians who participated in the banquet were either the leader of the tribes of Sinumibia, or the influential figures among the tribes of East Numibia.

Davers knew very well: Compared with the Sinumibians, Carthage had a strict control over East Numibia and had a deeper oppression, which also made the East Numibians very afraid of Carthage. When he sent spies deep into the Carthage camp in an attempt to unite with the Numibians, the Sinumibians were more active. Today, they first launched a rebellion. Although the East Numibians had more people, they did not respond much. Of course, it was also related to their different organization in the Carthage army. Finally, they saw that the main force of the Carthage army, the Iberian army, was completely defeated. The soldiers of the Dionian Legion were killed before their eyes, and then they rushed to launch a rebellion, which was more like a helpless act to save themselves.

Davers understood this more, and he said with a gentle expression: "Through this cooperation, we believe we have known the other party's sincerity, and we have a common enemy. So why don't we continue this cooperation and make Dionia and Numibia a long-term alliance?! Whether it is a year later or five years later, as long as other forces dare to attack one of our sides, the other side will take the initiative to declare war on that force, and both sides work together to defeat the enemy. What do you think?"

"Build a long-term alliance?" Krieg thought for a while and smiled relievedly: "This is a good suggestion! In this way, we have nothing to worry about!"

"It's great to be a long-term alliance! I agree!"

"agree!"

"When will we form an alliance?!"

...

Many Numibians expressed their excitement.

At this time, another East Numibian stood up and asked a question: "Dear King of Diony, we East Numibians live in the inland of Apheriga, and the coast is controlled by Carthage and its Phoenician allies. You Dionys are far away in Italy and Sicily. Once Carthage sends troops to invade our territory in the future, we cannot tell you this news in time. By the time you know, there are probably many tribes that have been captured and destroyed by Carthage, so it seems that they will not have any effect to become an alliance."

The excitement on the Numibians' faces faded rapidly, especially the East Numibians. The words of this compatriot suddenly made them realize that becoming an alliance with Dionia does not seem to relieve the dangers they face.

Davers laughed and said loudly: "Don't worry, after destroying the Carthaginian army on Sicily, Dionia is not ready to stop. We are also planning to log in to Afilga, attack the Phoenician allies of Carthage, and finally launch an attack on the city of Carthaginia.

Only by completely defeating Carthage will this greedy city-state sign an agreement to return your land and release your fellow countrymen who have been enslaved by them.

At the same time, we at Dionia will build several towns on the coast of Afilica, so that we can monitor the Carthaginians nearby, strengthen our ties with you, and trade fairly with you and improve your lives..."

Speaking of this, Davers found that these Numibians looked at him with bright eyes, and an excited expression appeared on their faces again.

The generals around Dionys were all surprised. After all, except for partially telling Helipolis, Davers' plan in his heart did not disclose it to others. However, people like Amintas, Matonis and others also had their eyes lit up, because this means that even if the war in Sicily ended, the war would continue and they had more opportunities to make contributions.

Davers immediately said, "Of course, our Dionys army is completely unfamiliar with Afilica. We also need your Numibia's full assistance and work together to ultimately force the Carthaginians to surrender!"
