Way of Overlord-Chapter 408: Banquet
Chapter 408: Banquet
Some of the hight ranking people in the Southern Great Steppe had connected the dots that the only reason that Aeryon had make this move is because the sudden emptiness of the Kazan tribe leading Aeryon to easily ride thought the north area and straight toward Wustkazan tribe.
Because of this from now on, the chief of the tribe no longer only need to pay attention to their tribe, but they also have to pay attention to their neighbours.
Aeryon really had made the entire Southern Great Steppe more cunning and more fierce. Whether they wanted it or not, they could only choose to adapt.
Yindir and Dayan tribe probably also choosing to adapt and they would not wait for their death.
These two tribes was once a formidable tribe .
Yindir possess ten thousand men in the tribe and Dayan is more or less the same.
But in the current Great Steppe ten thousand men is the minimum to even be considered a force that could tangle in the current climate.
These two quickly realized even though they have feud against each other, it did not reach to the point where they would destroy each other and destroy their legacy.
The intention of the Kan is known to everyone by now
He wanted to swallow the Southern Great Steppe.
And they could either choose to surrender now or fight.
And it is not in the nature of the Steppe people to surrender without a fight.
But if they fight and the Kan is angry all of them would be annihilated.
They have to think carefully about what their tribes would do.
Ten thousand men is now the minimum amount of men that you should need to even try to compete with these powerful tribes
The numbers alone would scare many people. It has been so long since a tribe alone possess the power to lead tens of thousands of men in one battle.
Vihur tribe for example has more than ten thousand men, but in the last fifty years, they never had to fight an open battle with ten thousand men on each side.
The battle is getting bigger and bigger, the men fighting is also stronger and the warriors of the Steppe is also getting fiercer.
The current Southern Great Steppe right now is like a sieve. And it separates the weak and the strong.
The strong would keep surviving, trampling on the dead body of the weak. Forged in fire, these men that survives the sieve, they would be the best of the best.
One would wonder, that when the dust settles, what kind of journey the Great Steppe would embark on?
But for now, in the minds of the chief, they did not think of this matter.
They think of only their survival
Each one of them knows that to win, to survive, the only way is to strengthen themselves, coax the small tribes and clans, recruit talented warriors to bolster their number and increase their strength
Only then could they even have a cache to fight against the Kan
Because to those who are now coming closer with the power of the Brolgadhr tribe, they not know that the Kan has so many horses, so many men that when they ride, the dust rises so high into the sky that it clouded the sun, the ground shakes and trembles, and when they roar, the sky seems to split open
Most of them exaggeration.
But not all of them are an exaggeration.
The mass number of men that Aeryon managed to lead and organize is terrifying.
What a glorious sight that is!
What a terrifying sight it is for them!
Those who speak of this exaggerations are warriors that fought or see the ride of these horsemen of Brolgadhr
Yindir and Dayan tribe could only rely on this hearsay to at least get some kind of information about this new neighbours of theirs and when they do get the news, they both are pretty flustered by it.
Before, all of their neighbours in the past could not threaten them
Now, their neighbours is not only able to threaten them, his ability to threaten them is tenfold than any other tribes that has been neighbour with them before
So, what these two tribes that are now flustered will do?
When one is cold in the same tent, one huddle together for warmth
And that is what they did.
So, they decided to ally with each other, marry their children to each other and created a marriage alliance and forget all feuds. Fear has made them practical.
But the most surprising thing happens a few days after Aeryon victory is Wustkazan.
And it happens in the lower east.
The struggle between four forces in the area of Estkazan changes in a way that is unexpected to everyone.
When the news arrived of what happen to the chiefs of the tribes of the Southern Great Steppe, they all thought that they got the wrong report.
Kazan tribe led by Ayuka, also known as Kham won the battle against Estkazan.
But the battle is not over just with the defeat of Estkazan. Because Estkazan falls also means that another tribe would be endangered and in threat
So that tribe rises up to repel Kazan tribe.
And that tribe is the Sordkazan tribe.
Sordkazan has also entered the battle under the banner of restoring the Kazan legacy. There is no need to have a reason. But to have a reason would rally the men
And it is the most legitimate reason. Regardless of how the Kazan tribes see each other, Kham should not have brought an outsider into the battle of the Kazan tribe.
It is only justifiable that Sordkazan enter the battle.
Sordkazan itself has many warriors and has been expanding silently since they return from the Battle of Nurshira.
However, they are not ready to fight.
Sordkazan has always been very low profile.
Even when in the battle of Nurshira, they rarely show their edges.
Instead, their performance is not too showy and not too bad.
The fact that the chief of Sordkazan could do this shows that he has a tolerant mind and he has big plans in his belly.
Given enough time, they would surely shock the Great Steppe with their power. But before all of this could come to pass, Kazan tribe suddenly attack Estkazan.
And usually, Estkazan could repel Kazan tribe because the strength between these two tribes is quite similar.
At least they would have their few Tayak got robed, or some of their people captured but it would not lead to the disintegration of the tribe.
This time however, what Estkazan could not have expected was that Esbizuk tribe would suddenly attack from behind taking down all of the allied tribes on their rear
Those who surrender is used as a disposable force by the Esbizuk tribe and Estkazan is attacked in two fronts. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
Estkazan could not endure this and the chief of Estkazan fall in battle with his sons and his wives and all of his closest relatives dying with him.
It was after this victory that Sordkazan suddenly raise their banner
However, it did not mean that they immediately goes to battle with the Sordkazan tribe.
When the chief of Kazan tribe heard the raising of the banner by the Sordkazan tribe, he was in his tent.
And Sordkazan is now being held back by the Esbizuk people.
Still, the Kazan tribe has won the battle and the division of the land and the rewards has to be discussed with Esbizuk.
A banquet is to be held.
Katakura, the advisor of Dama suggested that they celebrate this great victory in a banquet and all of its is already prepared for them
Kazan chief was delighted at this and the news he got from Katakura is that because of Kazan tribe fierce fighting, the division of the land and spoils would favor them as his chief would concede most of the claim.
But he should come to the banquet so that Dama would be able to smooth out the Great Warrior of his tribe.
At that time, the chief of Kazan should really pay attention to it. Dama has never been known to be generous.
That was the first clue.
But Kazan chief did not have a strategist around him that could point out how abnormal and strange all of this arrangement really is.
And Kham himself felt that he now have some kind of destiny.
His victory against Estkazan tribe has silence nay internal opposition of his usurping the seat of the chief.
And his victory also shows to his warriors that he is the best man for the job. And Katakura also said to bring his warriors so that Dama could also enjoy the company of these heroes which coincided with his desire to show off.
He did not want to show off to Dama but want to show off to his warrior. That he is a great warrior himself and it is because of him that they now get this victory.
When Kazan chief arrived at the banquet he was treated very well. There is hundreds of Ayrag bottle lined up, there is a countless Tayak to be slaughtered and eaten .
They met at a banquet and everyone was drinking and eating and laughing
But even then, there is some kind of weird feeling to it. Like the eyes are watching and the subtle mood that slowly envelops the feast as the more drunken the warrior became
However, the chief of the Kazan did not notice this and so did his warriors. And that is the final nail in the coffin
