Chapter 213 The war is about to break out
When Dale, a male from the Fire Phoenix clan, heard his patriarch say this, he stopped insisting.
But he had to start worrying about transporting the prey the next day.
As expected.
In order to avoid Ophelia and Zeref from robbing the prey, he got up early and went to the pasture to get the prey before dawn.
But what he didn't expect was that as soon as he walked out of the ranch gate with thirty prey, he saw a large group of people standing not far away.
Dale's face looked a little grim. He didn't expect Zeref to go to this extent.
"Zeref, don't go too far."
Although he also brought a lot of tribesmen today, Zeref brought more tribesmen, almost a hundred people.
If he confronts the other party head-on, he will definitely suffer heavy losses.
Before he could figure out what to do, Zeref spoke.
"Dale, if you put down your prey now and take your men away, I won't touch the prey in the ranch."
"But if you insist on fighting me, then it's hard to say."
Zeref wanted to compete with the Fire Phoenix Clan, but he wanted to minimize casualties, so he still left some room for maneuver.
However, this only applies to the members of the Fire Phoenix Clan. If the head of the Fire Phoenix Clan dares to capture his son, he will definitely make him pay the price.
"Okay, I'll take my people away now." Dell is not stupid. Knowing that he can't win, he naturally won't use eggs to hit stones.
"You'd better quickly persuade the Fire Phoenix Patriarch to come out and negotiate, otherwise I can't guarantee that there will be no prey left in this ranch if it's too late."
Dale scowled. "Got it."
When the head of the Huofeng family heard Dale's report, his face turned red with anger.
"Damn it, Zeref thought I really couldn't do anything to him?"
"You go out first."
The head of the Huofeng family sat in the room for a while before going to the small square of the mansion.
In the small square, a middle-aged male was leading two males to test the power of a new weapon. Arrows with iron arrowheads shot into the wooden board.
"It's done."
Watching the arrow pierce into the wooden board, the head of the Huofeng family showed a bright smile on his face.
"Master." The middle-aged male saluted respectfully to the Master of the Huofeng family.
Although the middle-aged male named Rafi didn't show it on his face, he was also very excited in his heart.
He was finally able to create a world-famous weapon and would no longer be looked down upon by other males.
"Lafei, I want you to produce two hundred bows and several hundred arrows in three days. Can you do it?"
"Master, as long as we have enough manpower, we can do it." Rafi knew that this was his chance, so of course he had to grab it desperately.
"Okay, after this is accomplished, you will be the fourth elder of the Fire Phoenix Clan."
He was originally just an ordinary male who knew some carpentry, but now he was promoted to elder just because he made such a bow and arrow. How could he not be excited?
"Thank you, Patriarch."
"I will send fifty of my tribesmen to you to help you build the bow."
"Yes, Master, I promise to complete the task." Rafi patted his chest and promised.
That afternoon, fifty males came to report to Rafi, who carefully explained to them how to make bows and arrows, as well as feathers.
The males worked very hard at first, but after a long time, they became a little tired.
He was a bit lazy and rough in his work, which Rafi saw and made him anxious.
Whether he could become an elder depended entirely on this, and he would not allow himself to be influenced.
"How did you do that? The bowstring isn't tied tight at all. Try again."
"Your bow is crooked, and the arrows you shoot out are crooked too. How can you redo it?"
"Redo everything."
In order to fulfill the instructions of the head of the Huofeng family, Lafite strives for perfection.
These males didn't want to do these manual labors in the first place, and they became even more angry when they heard what Rafi said.
"These are just wooden things. Can they really be that powerful? I don't believe it."
"That's right, the master is really old and confused."
"This is what the head of the family ordered you to do. If you don't do it well, aren't you afraid that I will tell the head of the family?" He knew that he could not suppress these males, so he brought up the title of the head of the Fire Phoenix family.
The males were still somewhat in awe of the Fire Phoenix Patriarch. Although they cursed him unwillingly, they did not stop their actions.
Rafi also knew that he couldn't push too hard, otherwise it would be bad.
So he lowered the inspection standards again and again, and finally completed two hundred bows and one thousand arrows in three days.
Looking at the new weapons piled up like a mountain in front of him, the head of the Huofeng family was overjoyed.
He let out a long breath. "I don't think Zeref has the right to act so arrogantly in front of me."
"Dale, gather all the tribe members and leave the city with me tomorrow."
"Master, aren't there too many clan members?" Dale was a little worried.
There are only about 300 people in the Fire Phoenix Clan, and after removing the females, there are only 200 males left.
Ophelia brought three hundred people this time. If they brought all two hundred males out, what would they do if something happened to the little female from the Fire Phoenix tribe?
"What are you afraid of? I don't have these weapons in my hands, and Ophelia has brought a lot of people this time. How can we not bring more people?"
In fact, if the two tribes were fighting, he would not need to bring so many tribesmen.
The reason why he brought all his tribesmen with him was to crush Ophelia and Zeref in terms of momentum.
Dale wanted to continue to persuade him, but the head of the Fire Phoenix family would not listen at all. He was only thinking about how to crush Ophelia and Zeref tomorrow and show his prominence in the Holy City family.
If possible, he even wanted to invite the other three major families in the Holy City to watch the battle.
On the other side, at the Zerev Mansion, Jiuying walked into the room.
"Master, the Fire Phoenix Clan has made some moves. They say they will take all the members out of the city tomorrow."
"Finally showing up." Zeref knocked on the table and let out a breath.
"Jiuying, go and invite the Panda Patriarch and the Giant Ape Patriarch to gather at the city gate tomorrow. Tell them I want to treat them to a good show."
"yes."
After Jiuying went out, Zeref also came to the outside of the city.
"Ophelia, the Fire Phoenix Patriarch will launch an attack tomorrow, so you should prepare early," Zeref reminded.
"Is he really planning a big fight?" Klein found it inconceivable.
In such a disadvantageous situation, he would not choose to fight against the stone with an egg. He would wait until he was fully prepared before fighting back.
"Yes. I will bring the other two family heads to watch the battle at the gate of the Holy City tomorrow."
Laxus scratched his head. "Watching the fight? You people in the Holy City really enjoy watching the fun."
Ophelia chuckled at Laxus's silly words. "Zeref is doing this to scare the others in the Saint Clan into realizing how powerful we, the Fu Clan, are."
"Even if they really want to join forces with Patriarch Huo Feng, they won't help us after seeing the power of our new weapon."
"So that's how it is." Laxus suddenly realized.
"Ophelia, be careful tomorrow. If anything really happens, don't worry about anything else. You must enter the space immediately."
Ophelia saw Zeref's worried expression and spoke to him in a reassuring voice. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
