The M'zab is a large tribe in southern Algiers, with a population of nearly seventy thousand and a territory of over eighty thousand square kilometers.
However, most of their territory lies within the Sahara Desert, and they rely on an underground irrigation system developed over centuries to obtain a bit of oasis suitable for cultivating crops.
Joseph was not surprised at their lack of information. The people here have basically only interacted with Algiers and the Tugurt tribe to the east in their lifetimes. Algiers should be the most powerful tribe in their minds.
Lavallette and Bertier exchanged glances and continued, "Your Highness, do we need to send an army to M'zab?"
The Chief of Staff added, "Eight hundred infantrymen should be enough."
Joseph was about to nod instinctively but suddenly thought of something. He raised his hand and said, "No need. Since the M'zab people are so loyal to Algiers, let them have their wish."
