Daniel mentioned that the revenge he was talking about was the very popular blood-related revenge among the locals, especially for nearly 20,000 Coptic people living in this region. Because of various reasons and family ties, they naturally shared a common hatred for these bandits.
Therefore, the killing of these bandits was a very worthy cause for celebration for them, as they could show their will to the surrounding villages.
As for the issue of reprisals afterwards, this group of Coptic people did not worry. After all, their hatred had long been irreconcilable, and killing a few more bandits at this time would not make the situation worse.
Under these circumstances, Leonard and the other foreigners, led by a guide, took some important items and hostages overnight and returned to the village of Daniel's family, while the other villagers took this opportunity to go to the battlefield.
