Inside the solemn ancestral hall, the space is very spacious, enough to accommodate hundreds of people. The ancestors of the Li family are enshrined above. The refreshing sandalwood incense curls up and fills the entire hall.
There were six oil lamps placed on both sides of the hall. The flames were burning and making a sizzling sound. You could hear needles dropping in the entire ancestral hall, and there was a dead silence.
"A big event has happened in the Zisha Islands recently. Everyone knows about it, right?" Li Longshan said with a majestic expression as he swept over the crowd with a solemn expression.
One of the old men with a gray beard said: "Longshan, are you talking about the pirate fight?"
"Well, it's true. This incident caused a big fuss. It was all caused by Jiulang Island and Dulong Island. It shocked the entire Zisha Islands. According to the latest news I got, the reason why there was a fight between Jiulang Island and Dulong Island was
, because the boss of Jiulang Island suddenly died suddenly." Li Longshan said slowly, everyone listened silently, and the atmosphere was solemn.
After hearing this big news, many tribesmen looked shocked, and they all whispered to each other and discussed.
For the ordinary people living on the Zisha Islands, this news is no different than dropping a huge rock and setting off a huge wave.
"Why did the leader of Jiulang Island suddenly die suddenly? It's very strange!"
"Yes, yes, the pirates on Jiulang Island won't suspect that it was someone from Dulong Island who did it, right?"
"If that's the case, it's going to be troublesome."
"Quiet." Li Longshan's majestic voice sounded, and the noisy ancestral hall quickly became quiet, and everyone turned to look at the clan leader.
"I'm afraid many people have already guessed that after the leader of Jiulang Island died suddenly, they will definitely suspect that Dulong Island did it."
"Because in the waters of the Zisha Islands, only the pirates from Dulong Island have this purpose and strength to do this kind of thing."
"The surrounding civilians are afraid to avoid them. Who would risk annihilation to offend those pirates, unless they have a broken mind."
"Dulong Island wants to destroy Jiulang Island. It's not just a day or two. The two sides are already hostile."
"And this time the leader of Jiulang Island died suddenly, I'm afraid it will be the trigger for the two major pirate forces."
Li Yunfeng interjected: "Pirates are killing each other. The only thing we civilians can do is to watch with cold eyes and never intervene without authorization."
"Well, Yunfeng is right, these ruthless pirates will do anything for profit."
"I'm afraid that when these pirates break out into fighting, the entire Zisha Islands will be completely in chaos. Without the restraint of the organization, some pirates will plunder everywhere and act recklessly." Li Longshan nodded and said solemnly.
His idea is exactly what everyone is worried about.
Among the pirates roaming the sea, there is no one who is not ruthless, bloodthirsty and brutal.
When two groups of pirates get into a fight, the unlucky ones are the civilians living nearby.
Besides fishing and hunting, what else can ordinary people do?
If some pirates leave their lair, take advantage of troubled waters, and plunder ruthlessly, who can control them?
Everyone is worried about this.
Although the Zisha Islands belong to the Senluo Sea, they are not protected by Ziyou Mansion. Almost all villages have been under the oppression of pirate forces and are struggling to survive.
This time, the two groups of pirates fought so wildly, which is definitely a big event that caused a sensation in the Zisha Islands.
But once it spreads, it will be these unarmed civilians who will suffer.
Why?
Because things have become chaotic, no one will abide by the rules set before.
If pirates try to abide by it, they are believing in something evil.
A strong man in black with a stubble on his face said worriedly: "Chief, what do you think we should do? We all support your decision."
"Yes, patriarch, what do you think we should do?"
"Let's fight the pirates."
"Not afraid of them."
In the ancestral hall, everyone was excited and the atmosphere was fiery.
"Quiet, everyone, listen to me." Li Longshan said with a majestic expression.
"Starting from today, all clan members are not allowed to go out, and the alert is raised to the highest level until this pirate power fight stops."
"Li Yunfeng is solely responsible for the security of the village. The women take care of their children, and the men put on leather armor and weapons, and they all stand guard around the village fence."
"Immediately set up various obstacles to prevent pirates from raiding at night."
"If there is any trouble, immediately beat the gongs and drums to warn all the tribesmen."
"For the village and our family, be prepared to sacrifice your life at any time."
Li Longshan finished speaking in one breath, his old face was full of wrinkles, and he arranged everyone properly, with a look of death.
Hearing the last words of the patriarch, everyone in the ancestral hall was shocked, and beads of cold sweat broke out on their foreheads. The invisible pressure made everyone feel heavy in their hearts.
This is a terrible crisis. These pirate forces have been entrenched in the Zisha Islands for such a long time and have always behaved themselves and will not attack nearby villagers for no reason.
But if they start fighting now, it will definitely lead to complete chaos.
They all want to fight to the death to kill their opponents, become the dominant family, and control the entire Zisha Islands, becoming the local emperor here.
Since it was a decisive battle, and there was no telling when he would die, the pirates who cared so much would definitely take advantage of the chaos to loot nearby islands and vent their anger. The pirate leader also turned a blind eye to this and didn't care.
More restraint is a kind of reward for your subordinates.
One can imagine how bad the situation on the Zisha Islands is.
Seeing the solemn look on the patriarch's face, everyone became nervous, and everyone looked full of uneasiness.
After all, it has been decades since the village was established. There have been many pirate fights and massacres of villages near the Zisha Islands.
The older generation of tribesmen all remember very clearly those bloody scenes with rivers of blood and corpses strewn across the fields.
They don't want this to happen to Crescent Village again.
When Li Feng heard the clan leader's words, he looked expressionless, but his heart seemed very heavy.
Pirates have always been the biggest threat to civilians. As a result, the civilian population of the entire Zisha Islands will have a difficult time.
Under the arrangement of the clan leader, the entire village was quickly mobilized to take action.
The elderly, women, and children were not allowed to go out at will. They were specially made to cook for the men in the village. Except for a month's worth of food for daily life, all the food and money were moved to a secret room in the cellar of the ancestral hall and stored.
More than 400 strong men in the village, all wearing leather armor and holding swords, iron spears, harpoons, bows and arrows and other weapons, were waiting around the village fence, ready to fight.
Working in groups of five, they patrolled back and forth in the four directions of the village, keeping a close eye on any disturbance nearby.
The fences surrounding the village have also been heightened and reinforced, and wrapped with a large number of thorns and iron thorns to prevent pirates from entering at night.
"Roar" "Roar"
Blood wolf dogs kept barking and roaring at night.
There is a guard post every five steps and a sentry every three steps, so the security is tight.
The entire village has entered the highest level of martial law.
Even so, everyone in the tribe still felt a little uneasy and had drums in their hearts.
