Way of Overlord-Chapter 409: A Rolling Snowball

But this banquet is actually the Hongmen Feast like the time of the battle of contention between Southern Zhao and Northern Yan

Dama sits on the highest seat and beside him was the Kazan chief.

They eat, drink and everyone was in a jolly mod

And then with the wine cup dropped onto the ground, everything turns into chaos. Dama uses a dagger to quickly slit Kham neck, the blood spurted and dye the mare milk into red.

Archer appears out of nowhere and a rain of arrows fills the guest seat.

The great warriors of the Kazan are all unprepared

Even those who could still get up and repel a few dozen arrows could not stop[ the inevitable. All of these great warrior are powerful men.

But they are already drunk and they are unprepared.

This is the most taboo state when in fighting.

So, they die.

And the Kazan chief also die

Kazan chief that a great ambition and great vision for the world, could not realize any of his dream.

Just when he embark on his most glorious journey since he ascended o the chieftain, a moment later, he is pulled down to the ground and stomped hard.

The disbelief on his eyes when he feel the life draining out of him tells everything that one needs to know how shocking it is for Dama tod o what he did that night.

The Kazan chief was killed in the banquet and all the great warriors of the Kazan was killed in this banquet.

A hundred Ayrag and a few dozen Tayak to exchange for the vast land of Kazan and Estkazan land? It is a worthy investment.

In one night, Esbizuk tribe take control of the situation, taking over the Estkazan area and then before the night was over, the reinforcement from the mountain tribe arrives

And with fifteen thousand horsemen they ride toward Sordkazan tribe and raid all of the area of Sordkazan taking over the area of Tuvan that Sordkazan had conquered before.

The chief of Sordkazan did not believe he could hold on to the east and instead ask for safe passage from the Korun tribe.

The Korun tribe inform Mayeux of the Brolgadhr tribe about Sordkazan plight.

Mayeux was shocked to hear it and send a messenger to speak with the chief of Sordkazan for cooperation

Karnain the chief of the Sordkazan was shocked when he heard that Mayeux, the military advisor of the Kan suddenly wanted to talk cooperation with him

It is said that it took him hours to make a decision about this matter and all of his men is brought to the tent to discuss this matter

In the end, Karnain decided to meet with Mayeux.

Mayeux come to the temporary tent of the Sordkazan tribe with five hundred men and goes to Karnain tent.

No one knows what they talked about in the tent but Karnain then escorted Mayeux out with a smile.

And a day later, Mayeux welcome the Sordkazan tribe toward the Brolgadhr tribe for protection

If that is not enough, Mayeux then said that Sordkazan as the descendant of the Kazan legacy should take and recover the area of the Kazan tribe and reorganize the people

Karnain was shocked at this sudden proposal by Mayeux and he rejected it at first saying he did not want to do something like that and usurp the Kazan tribe at this moment

The commander and the warriors and the advisors and elders of the Sordkazan all then persuaded that Karnain should take it to protect the legacy of the Kazan. If not, it could fall to the Cha Ner Ul alliance

The people of Kazan there are in disarray and they should have a leader among themselves

Still, Karnain rejected and then Mayeux spoke of the benefit of taking Kazan and the harm not taking Kazan

The people are in disorder and Karnain would bring peace, the warring tribes around are all coveting and Karnain arrival would protect the tribe, and with the good relations between them Kazan could be pacified and this also protect the last embers of the Kazan from dying out

Mayeux then spoke of the harm of not taking Kazan area.

Kazan area now has no leaders, the small clans and the rebellious tribe under the Kazan would surely rebel and split the area into pieces.

Seeing this, how could the Cha Ner Ul and Altai tribe let it go.

If he did not take it, others will.

And these others, will they treat the Kazan well?

If they are lucky, they would be slave.

If they are not lucky, they would be executed.

Another harm is that, the people of Sordkazan is without a home right now. They could not always roams away.

If they have no legacy, they did not have to worry, they could easily roams and goes to the Central Steppe and established new Kazan tribe there.

But the Kazan tribe is still there and if the people of Kazan knows a legacy of the Kazan is about to take control, they would not be as repulsive compared if others is trying to take Kazan tribe

Hearing all of this, and after three rejections and three exhortations, Karnain accepted the proposal reluctantly and lead his men toward the Kazan tribe.

Before they go, Mayeux even give them a few dozen Tayaks and other foods and resources so that they could go to Kazan tribe without starving.

All the great warriors of the tribe of Kazan has fallen under the treachery of Katakura and Esbizuk tribe had also been destroyed

The Kazan legacy is about to wither. Because not only the Kazan tribe has fallen but also the Estkazan tribe.

It is quite ironic that Mayeux did not mention that Aeryon also wipes out Wustkazan which is also a Kazan offshoot.

The only inheritor of the Kazan legacy is now Sordkazan and Nurkazan.

Nurkazan is far away and did not have relation with the Brolgadhr tribe, but Sordkazan does have connection.

The reputation of the Kan has always been that he is a domineering person and he is all conquering overlord.

From the moment he rises, he has been conquering all the enemies around him.

The few alliance he made are all for the process of expansion.

His policy of not killing every tribe members of the enemies wins him some praise but in the minds and eyes of many people the Kan is more known for his fearsome reputation

After all, that move still contain some cunningness.

The Kan uses benevolence and generosity as a tool to strengthen his tribe.

Since then, many of the even violent chief follow his method and tries to emulate him.

The reason why it did not work on other tribes is that even when another chief accept another enemy surrender, they still doubt.

This could not be blamed on the chief because this has been their culture for a long time. The killing of a family necessitates a blood feud.

And blood feud is not easily forgiven

The people of the Steppe took their family very seriously even more than the people of Yan.

The people of Yan could only see benefit and could even sacrifice the son to enhance their reputation or sacrifice their daughter to win political points something that the people of Steppe look down upon

And even when a chief accepted the surrender of the enemy, they could not be at ease in using his enemies warriors.

This is a taboo. Since you dare accept them, you must dare use them. If not, you create suspicion.

The surrendered people could not be at ease.

The more you do not use them, the more you make them feel uneasy.

And when that tension reached the tipping point, then it will break and when it breaks surely the one that could not be trusted will fulfill that self-fulfilling prophecy and betray the one that accept the surrender

Aeryon could do it. This is why he was praised. He did not only accept the surrender, he dares uses these people that wanted to kill him, to kill for him

And once he uses them, he did not doubt them.

Hence, the surrendered tribe could be at ease seeing the Kan uses them which means they have a use. And having use, means having value.

Having value means they would not be liquidated by the Kan. freewёbnoνel.com

And if the warriors of the surrendered tribe perform merit, the merit is equally given.

The method of fair judgment and fair punishment of the Kan makes even the surrendered warriors convinced of him

The other chief imitates but did not learn the essence. This is the reason why the Kan succeeded while they failed

Hence, they cycle continues.

The chief could not trust their former enemies; hence they have to eradicate each one of them

Since they lost people, they have to recruit people.

War then become a loss for them.

Aeryon is different.

When he fight and when he conquered, he gain resources and men. The men that he lost could be replenished, the warriors that he lost is substituted.

The more he fights, the stronger he became.

Like a small snowball that is rolling down becoming bigger and bigger until nothing could stop it.
