There's still a fair bit of black around his territory, but if I had to quess I'd say he only has 2 or 3 cities. With an army your size you should be able to wipe him out, and should start right away. Ideally you want to keep all his cities, but Senethro is right that if you collape your economy then any advantage of free cities will be lost. Getting to Aristocracy should be your primary objective right now, because it will boost commerce and also greatly soften the maintenance cost of a distributed empire (which you are about to have). I would suggest that you take all his cities, but pillage improvements around them to boost your income to help get Code of Laws faster. You have enough workers to rebuild those improvement quickly. At the very least pillage any improvements that you will end up changing anyway.
Do your best to level up your Assassins as much as possible. Getting such powerful units this early is unbalancing, and you should exploit that as much as possible. I recommend you promote them along the Drill line, so that they will be able to get Blitz as soon as possible. That, combined with Mobility I & II when available, will make your Assassins into leveling machines.
