Syphax,

How could Baga let me down, I do not understand...I know you will not fail me. I have spent the day in meditation and I have concluded our next course of action. March to the African Province with legion four (NIV) and the 5,000 cavalry you have with you. Keep you remaining forces (legion three, 6,900 light infantry, and the elephants) in Cirta. When you get to the border, do not go near any of the fortified cities. Our strength lies in our speed both of our men and our horse. Stay away for Hadrumetum, Byzacena, Hippo Regius, and especially Carthago Nova. These are well fortified cities that now are housing local militia since we have destoryed many of their lands. Keep the legion close to the border, but take you cavalry and ride quickly for suprise will be our ally. Take all the women and children that you can. The women and girls will be made slaves were as the male children will be sent to the military training facilities where they will learn one way, the way of the sword. These warrior slaves may someday fight for you my friend. Also any money or crop/grain bring back. We will need it. Report to me, when you return to Numidia.

Juba, Your King
