The Fate of Mercenaries

Chapter 895

Alexander had made sure to very publicly reward Papando for his efforts, claiming he was a hero for bringing the war to a much faster conclusion than anyone could have hoped for and thus alleviating the pain of the common masses.

This worked as a great propaganda piece, as Alexander showed that he took good care of the people who defected to him, enticing others to follow suit.

Papando was the main event Alexander spent his time in Kalimat dealing with.

Following this came the processing of the prisoners of war.

This mainly included the identification of the various captured nobles, as well as the mercenary leaders, and deciding their fate, i.e.- ransom, enslavement, or death.

As for the fate of the regular grunts, i.e.- peasants forcibly drafted into Perseus's army, Alexander wanted to forcibly displace them to the lands around Zanzan, to populate the place that had been ravaged by war and drought.
