Unknown Knight

Seeing that Ivant was indifferent and pretending to think, Farhad decided to add fuel to the fire and said with a grievance:

"This Aix is ​​determined to go against us. He has swindled all the outsiders in the city away. Who will drive our cattle, do the hard labor, and take care of our farm work?"

Fahad deliberately emphasized the last sentence about the work in the fields. The Harisi family basically hired outsiders to work in the spice fields. After saying this, Fahad secretly glanced at Ivant, but saw that although his right cheek skin trembled slightly, he was still indifferent. He winked at the chief Sabir next to him. Chief Sabir cleared his throat and took over the conversation:

"This idiot Aix is ​​really hateful. I remember my father told me that the thirty-mile area of ​​Zion City belongs to your family, brother Harisi.

When my father first came here, he wanted to buy a bay outside the city, I think it was the bay occupied by Aix. But your father, Brother Ivante, refused. He insisted that my father buy land and property in the city. But now it seems that this was a wise suggestion, otherwise our family would not have the prosperous industry it has today.

But this Aix is ​​really hateful. Not only did he occupy your family's land without saying anything, but he also turned around and poached our Zion City people and stole our Zion City's business. It's really outrageous.

Brother Ivante, since they have occupied your land without reason, you can just drive them out, take back our lost business and population, and make them pay the rent for using the land and water resources. "

Sabir's seemingly nonsense angry words deeply touched Ivant's thoughts.

To be honest, this vast desert Gobi was originally an unowned land. Their Harisi family was only the earliest indigenous people here and had no absolute legal right to own the land. It was an overbearing act to prevent others from building bases elsewhere. They simply wanted others to spend money to buy their land and become their dependent force.

If it weren't for these things happening now, he wouldn't have been interested in even taking a second look at the desolate and hidden bay occupied by Aix. But now it's different. At least four hundred outsiders in the city have run to Aix, but Aix has never gone to the city to buy food and water. That means there is a water source here, and there is a high probability that there may be other food sources.

When he went to inquire about the news before, he also saw that Aix had sent people to tidy up the land outside the wall, apparently in preparation for planting crops, which further illustrated the problem.

You know, the significance of water sources in the desert is not just water sources as it is elsewhere. Water sources in the desert are synonymous with strength, wealth and living space. Having water sources in the desert symbolizes having rights.

Once they obtain the bay, their family will not only obtain water and arable land, but their strength will also be greatly increased, far surpassing other families. At that time, they may be able to truly break away from the level of the so-called five major families and become the undisputed king of Zion City.

The reason why he did not express his opinion before was mainly because he wanted others to take the lead. This was his usual style. He was a stable vested interest holder and did not need to rush to the front to take risks. When the time came, he only needed to show up and no one would dare to miss out on his share. At the same time, he did not want to give others an excuse to take more than they deserved, for fear of affecting his glorious image as the first patriarch of the City of Zion.

But now it was different. With this so-called "righteousness" of ownership, he could legitimately swallow up the entire bay, and no one else could say anything. This blinded him to the point of abandoning his previous style of doing things, and he took the initiative to stand up and say righteously:

"Farhad is right. This damned Aix is ​​determined to go against our Zion City. Not only did he occupy my land, he also kidnapped the outsiders who worked for us in the city. This is really unreasonable. I will take people to tear down his lair and get the people back."

In Harrisi's eyes, the five-meter-high earthen wall of Aix was not a dangerous place that was difficult to break through. He also knew what kind of people those outsiders who came to Aix were. They were usually the kind of people who could not even fart after three kicks.

Their family has nearly a thousand relatives in and outside the city, including three or four hundred young and strong people. Many of them are used to being arrogant and domineering, and their ferocity is unmatched by those honest outsiders.

Ivante estimated that there were only one or two hundred young and strong men in the earthen wall of Aix, and it was probably not even enough for each person to be equipped with a reed pole. On his side, he had nearly a hundred standing family armed forces. Most of these people were good fighters selected from his relatives, and there were more than twenty people recruited from outsiders. Most of them were ruthless criminals and bandits. He kept them well fed and well-fed, and they were all strong and powerful, stronger than most people.

These family armed forces are usually led by two veterans with outstanding martial arts skills. They occasionally train and line up in battle formations, which looks quite impressive. This is the main reason why he has maintained his power in the city for so many years.

He thought that at most he would just need to make a few ladders and put them on the wall, or directly use lassoes to pull open the barricades at the city gate, use battering rams to push away the obstacles, and then his men would rush in and everything would be done.

Ivant, a country bumpkin who had only seen gangsters fighting in his life and had no idea what war was, gave the order to gather his tribesmen so hastily. He never thought of uniting with other families so that there would be no need to distribute the spoils after victory. He simply believed based on experience that, just like a fight between gangsters, as long as the number of people was large enough and they were fierce enough, the battle would soon end one-sidedly.

Soon, he summoned all the young and strong men of his relatives and the one hundred family armed forces. Together with those who came to watch the fun, there were no less than two thousand people in total. There was no room for these people to stand in the clan hall, so they had to stand in the square outside the clan hall.

Looking at the noisy crowd below and glancing around at the patriarchs of other families, Ivante felt that this was a good opportunity to show off. He enjoyed the feeling of summoning "thousands of troops" to serve him. At the same time, he could justify his annexation of the bay in front of these old and young men.

He straightened his satin robe, stepped forward and waved to the people in the square. When everyone fell silent, he cleared his throat and said:

"My dear relatives and fellow townspeople, everyone knows that the fifty miles of Zion City is the land of my Harisi family. But now, there is such a damn outsider who has secretly occupied our land, stolen our water source, tricked our workers away, and even robbed our townspeople of their livelihoods. What do you think we should do?"
