Algiers' central and western regions, Akelm Tribe.
Tribal chief Lazaz loudly urged the tribe members to load bags of valuables onto the camels' backs. Not far behind him, a procession of over a hundred camels was slowly moving toward the western mountains.
At this moment, Lazaz's son rushed over on horseback, pointing north in panic, "Father, they, they are coming!"
Lazaz's body stiffened immediately, knowing that his son was referring to Hadiid's men.
He looked at the chaotic tribe, with at least half the people still not evacuated, and couldn't help but feel extremely anxious.
Indeed, although the messenger he sent had arrived two days ago, in this era of poor organizational and mobilization capacity, it was impossible for over 8,000 tribespeople to completely evacuate within two days.
Especially when quite a few people were still holding onto the hope that they wouldn't have to abandon their household belongings.
