Mecha Star Wars.

Hafiz did not have a grudge against those farmers; he had a grudge against someone else.

The story begins in the early days when the gods were recruiting beautiful women from the people.

Although this world is ruled by the gods, they do not care much about the affairs of the common people.

As for the common people, they believed in the rule of the gods and were autonomous. Most of the time, they regarded the gods as a belief and did not bother them much. Only when the demons attacked and they could not resist them, they would report to the gods for support.

This slightly divided ruling relationship has reached a certain balance over the centuries.

Because the gods have a Heavenly Emperor, the people do not distinguish between countries, only city-states.

In a sense, the relationship between cities here is similar to that of the small countries in the Central European period on Lanxing. However, above the city commanders, there are higher gods, real gods.

Because the gods spend most of their time in the imperial capital dealing with their own affairs and don't play with civilians, ordinary people rarely have the opportunity to come into contact with the gods.

But since there is a true God, who does not desire the favor of the true God?

Therefore, due to the existence of the gods, the conflicts between the city-states that should have been intensified were hidden in weak competition.

A city commander like Hafiz naturally spared no effort to show off, and he would put hundreds of thoughts into every tribute.

The city of Os is a trading city built on a major transportation route. Its economy is one of the most developed cities.

Hafiz had money and treasures, but every time he paid tribute, the rewards he received from the Protoss were no different from that of the old man in the neighboring city of Fording, who only sent fruits, vegetables, and other worthless agricultural products.

Lin Fan suddenly thought of a story from Lanxing, which was about two people offering sacrifices to the gods in heaven. A farmer offered his crops, and a shepherd offered mutton. As a result, the gods preferred the shepherd's sacrifice and were more biased towards the shepherd, which led to the bloody tragedy in the end.

It seems that the gods here treat the people quite fairly.

But would Hafiz be happy? Of course not! His gold, silver and jewelry were much more valuable than fruits and vegetables!

But this is the manifestation of God's equal love for all living beings, and he cannot express it no matter how unhappy he is. And even though he knows that sending rice, flour, and fruit will get the same praise, he still prepares enough valuables every time. Who knows when he will show up in front of the gods?

But as time went on, he couldn't help but feel resentful towards the mayor of Fording City.

But the city commander was always slippery and would retreat when faced with difficulties, so it was not easy for Hafiz to find fault with him.

So over the years, although Austin City and Fording City are neighbors, the relationship between them is extremely cold.

It would have been fine if it had continued like this, but the balance was broken when the gods issued a conscription order to recruit a large number of beauties from the public.

Hafiz seemed to see a ladder to heaven right before his eyes, and he immediately sent his men out to search for beauties, hoping to take this opportunity to show his face in front of the gods.

If he could make the gods remember Hafiz, his future success would be just around the corner...

Arresting people again! Lin Fan's brows tightened, but he quickly let go and looked at Hafiz, who was half blocked by Antonio, with an unpredictable look on his face.

Antonio curled his lips and squinted at the city commander who was kneeling at his feet holding a wine jug. "You went to their village to arrest someone, and were stopped?"

"How can that be possible?" Hafiz shook his head decisively. "How can there be any beautiful women in their remote place? There is no such thing."

He only said there were no beauties, but he did not deny arresting people...

Is this guy Hafiz really aboveboard... or is this kind of behavior normal here? Lin Fan thought with bated breath.

"As a city lord, what kind of conflict can you have with farmers?" Antonio asked, "You still say you are a good city lord, but this is not something a good city lord would do!"

"Your Excellency has misunderstood!" Hafiz quickly explained, "They are not citizens of our city of Oss. Although their territory is close to us, it is actually under the jurisdiction of Fording City."

The old man saw that the gods were all looking at him, and nodded quickly: "Yes, the people of Fording City are good at farming. This is a talent inherited for thousands of years."

Antonio didn't expect there would be a question of territorial division. He didn't know what to ask for a moment, so he just nodded and said to Hafiz, "You continue."

Seeing that the God Clan in front of him had no obvious expression change and did not seem to be scolding him, Hafiz calmed down a little and continued, "Aos City is very wealthy, so it is not difficult to find beauties. This time, I bought gorgeous clothes and jewelry for the beauties, dressed them up carefully, and brought the jewelry with me to the imperial capital, confident that I would take the first prize..."

Hafiz had already begun to imagine the glorious life after being appreciated by the gods, but he did not expect that the beauties he sent to him were all killed, and the money and jewelry he sent with them were gone. Not only did he lose his wife and his soldiers, he was also loudly scolded outside the palace in front of other city officials.

"Oh...you have violated that person's taboo..." Lin Fan's mouth curled up slightly.

She was happy when Hafiz was unhappy, but when she thought of those who were killed, the corners of her mouth dropped again.

“My Lord!” Hafiz leaned slightly and half-crouched on the platform to answer Lin Fan, “Hafiz did something wrong and angered Lord Tiandi, but he was able to save his life. It is really thanks to the blessing of the True God…”

Lin Fan's face froze. Even in this situation, he still didn't forget to show his loyalty to her. She didn't believe that Hafiz didn't feel aggrieved.

It was clearly a conscription order issued by the Gods, and she worked hard to get it done, but in the end she got nothing in return, and was only scolded. If it were her, even if she was not strong enough to take action, she would definitely curse the other party's family for eighteen generations in her heart!

How could Hafiz not feel resentful? He had lost money and people. Much of the effort he put in was not visible. He was fooled and embarrassed. If the other party was not a god, how could he let him off easily?

In fact, all the city officials who sent beauties were reprimanded, and he was not the only one. It was just that he sent the most beauties, suffered the biggest loss, and was in a worse mood.

What's even more annoying is that the old man in Fording City couldn't find any beauties, but was afraid that it would be too abrupt if he didn't give anything, so he still gave agricultural products as usual.

It was originally a helpless act to make up the numbers, but unexpectedly, I received a reward because there were no beauties.

“Ha!” Lin Fan couldn’t help but sneer, “You really…are wasting your time…”

"Who said it wasn't true?" Hafiz didn't dare to blame the Protoss, but he didn't have so many concerns about his own people, not to mention that he had a long-standing grudge with the city of Fording.

In the past, when everyone was the same, even if there was some resentment in their hearts, it would not burst out too obviously. This time was different. When no one got what they wanted, the person who was rewarded was too conspicuous.

Some of the other cities were far from Oss, and some were strong, so Hafiz couldn't move them. But could he not hold on to the soft persimmon of Fording? All his anger was directed at the old man.

"What does that have to do with these farmers?" Lin Fan frowned slightly.

Although Hafiz's venting of anger was somewhat inexplicable and unreasonable, the city commander of Fording was the head of the city after all. It was better for him to deal with Hafiz than these unarmed and ignorant farmers, right?

"That's the point I want to make." Hafiz sighed again, "That old man is a piece of shit. He said that the crops that were awarded were all grown by them."

He turned around and nodded at the old man kneeling outside the carpet: "He said that every grievance has its perpetrator and that I should seek revenge on them. It has nothing to do with him..."
