Chapter 629 The Victor's Idea

Hannibal seemed to have monopoly in Carthage, but it was just an appearance.

The one who truly masters this country is the Senate composed of 300 people.

The Senate controls Carthage's legislative power and decision-making power.

However, it is rarely enabled when there is nothing to do in China.

The previous military success made Hannibal think that he was already a one-man show in Carthage.

But today's Senate Church gave him a wake-up call.

The Senate had made a decision, and surrendering to Rome was irreversible.

As a scapegoat.

What Hannibal is about to face is the trial of the Hundred-member Parliamentary Group.

Don't think that Hannibal knew that after the trial, the disgusting group of lawmakers would only give themselves two ways.

The first is to tie yourself to the great Baal and burn it to death.

The second is to give yourself to Rome and allow them to enjoy the power that they only have as winners.

As for what happens to me, who cares?

Thinking of this, a sneer appeared on the corner of Hannibal's mouth.

Do those idiots really think that if Carthage surrenders, they will not be retaliated against by Rome?

Twenty years ago, Carthage was suffering from internal and external troubles.

To the outside world, Hamilka and Hasdruba died one after another.

Faced with Rome's powerful offensive, Carthage had no power to fight back.

Internally, the conflict between commercial slave owners and agricultural slave owners in Hai Trade has intensified to the point of never ending.

If Hannibal had not emerged, resisted the pressure of Rome's military offensive, and borrowed his brother's head to calm the struggle between the two major domestic groups.

I'm afraid Carthage died ten years ago.

But how did these people treat themselves as their savior?

As soon as they failed on the battlefield, they couldn't wait to jump out and try to push themselves into a cliff.

Hannibal was extremely angry, but in the face of such a dilemma, he had no choice.

The power of his military commander was granted by the Senate.

The Elders took back his military power, which means that at this time he was just a tiger with teeth drawn.

No matter how angry he was, he was just incompetent and furious.

Hannibal turned his head and took a deep look at the huge temple behind him.

I have to escape.

This was the first time he had this idea in his life.

What's even more absurd is that he was not facing the Romans, but the Carthaginians.

If Hannibal himself didn't want to leave now, he would not guarantee whether he could see the sun tomorrow.

In Europe, it is not unusual for a country's leader to be stabbed to death on his own territory.

More than a decade ago, his brother-in-law, Hasdruba, the previous military commander of Carthage, was assassinated by the Celtics in Carthage.

That idiot completely offended the other party in order to protect the interests of the slave owner.

He died of his stupidity, and he could not follow in his footsteps.

Before coming to the Senate Council today, he had arranged a sea boat in a small port outside the city.

Hannibal spitted hard on the ground, then walked outside with great strides.

When Hannibal escaped from the fall and out, a grand celebration ceremony was being held in the Senate of the Roman Republic.

In the huge palace formed by stone pillars, Sepia, who was only thirty-two years old, was surrounded by a group of old men from the Senate.

As the first Roman commander to defeat Hannibal on the front battlefield in 20 years, Scipio, the Great at this time, was undoubtedly a Roman hero.

Today, Scipio of the Great has won the title of Invincible Commander.

The Romans never stingy in admiring the hero of the country and called him the conqueror of Afiriga.

There was constant compliment around him, and Sepia Great smiled and said, haha, and she had long since she had no idea where she had been floating.

Just yesterday, news came from the Carthage Elderly Church that he was willing to surrender to Rome.

At the same time, the Carthage Sage also informed Rome that the "war sinner" Hannibal had already fled for fear of sin and was now missing.

To show sincerity, they believed that Rome "had a responsibility to send people to capture the terrifying devil."

How is your opponent now?

Thinking of this, Scipio couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

Over the years, he has never forgotten that when he was seventeen, he followed the style of Hannibal who was still a Roman consul at the time and saw him on the battlefield.

That year, Hannibal defeated the Roman army in the Battle of Tikinus and Trebia.

Even in the Battle of Ticino, Hannibal almost killed Scipio's father.

When Sepio was nineteen years old, he personally participated in the Battle of Canny.

In that battle, Rome lost one-fifth of its adult citizens and many veterans, legionaries.

One consul defected, and another consul died in battle.

This battle was the most prominent moment in Hannibal's life, and it was also the nightmare that the young Scipio was most reluctant to look back on.

From then on, he made up his mind that one day he would defeat that man like a demon.

Fifteen years have passed, and he finally fulfilled his original vow.

At that time, the enemy who was almost invincible in his heart had become a stray dog ​​at this time, and I don’t know where to escape to lick my wounds.

Without Carthage's support, his best destination is nothing more than his lonely old man's life.

But after excitement, Scipio of Greater Scipio found that life became boring again.

For fifteen years, what he thought about every day was how to defeat that man.

When this goal is achieved, his life seems to have been fulfilled.

After that, even if he was lying on such a credit book and doing nothing, the Roman people would tolerate him.

After I die of old age, I will be offered to the temple and become a famous god.

For the Romans, this was already the highest honor.

However, Sepio of the Great found it very boring.

You know, he is only thirty-two years old this year!

I heard a long time ago that before Hannibal escaped, he once told people that he was going to the end of the East to see.

"Is that country called Daqin?"

"Their navy has been very popular in Sibar City recently."

"A country that has never experienced a great war is just arrogant. I, Scipio, will tell them who is the master of Europe!"

Sepio was slightly lost in his mind.

Although he had been fighting against the Carthaginians, he was also very clear about other things that happened in Europe.

Just last year, the lord of Sibar City caused revenge from the rumored ancient empire in the Far East because of a stupid thing.

Marcus, the governor of southern Rome, suffered a lot of losses in the hands of the navy of that country.

The issue of the Elderly Council and Sibar in the previous few times has been discussed many times.

But Scipio of the Great did not think that the army of only 30,000 people had any problems with Rome.

West Coast of America.

At night, stars dotted.

In the settlement of the Kaluya tribe, the tribe natives sang and danced around the bonfire.

This tribe is just one of the inconspicuous among the many indigenous tribes on the vast American continent.

However, since half a year ago, Kalua, who was just an ordinary tribal warrior, discovered the existence of the Son of the God.

This tribe rose rapidly and soon occupied a large tract of land near the coastline and became a large tribe.

Just a few days ago, the Kaluya tribe annexed the approaching Kupa tribe and became the only tribe within a radius of thousands of miles.

Such a grand event is naturally worth celebrating.

Just when the tribesmen were having fun.
